I really, really want to get back home. And, say, put Grinwipey in a garret or sweatshop somewhere that he stops beating up all the cute Orren my friends.

And, of course, get started on the city.

Would you live there, if you were prime?


I don't like the assumption I would want to be prime!

I would like to live there, even if I was not a prime, which I don't think I am!

I voted low on the vices part because I think many who might come to your city to live there might prefer a refuge from being gawked at or disapproved, and they might not appreciate the implication tourists might have that they are 'easy' because they are traff. While you can certainly build a recreational tourism industry, you might want to make sure your citizens feel safe, first and foremost!

I feel that one should encourage the types of vices that you want to see inside your city borders, and then back off and let things take a natural course. Otherwise, how would people know it's okay to do such things?

I think as far as name and philosophy go, regardless of what is suggested here, you should come up with a clear and definite idea of which direction to go in. This ensures maximum disappointment and confusion when your clients-turned-subjects have a completely different idea, execute it, and you only find out via the outrage of neighbouring governmants.

I have pattern recognition, me.

I really think that you should start with a moderate base of such recreation, and then mildly discourage aggressive trade in it early on. That way you start easy and don't need to put a claw down quite as harshly later if it starts to get out of hand.

If you focus on that being your primary income, the other parts of the city have a chance of starving. This is where the agrarian base of the World Tree is such a helpful thing; self-sufficiency is easier if you have a field and/or a garden to help feed you.

I offered Trans-Sylvania in semi-jest. Not only does it provide an apt description of a peripatetic city, but it also brings in an obscure cultural pun.
