Earlier this month, one of your aides stumbled upon a makeshift encampment of missing bureaucrats in the bowels of Tocium. Their discovery has prompted debate on whether the government has become too large and unwieldy.
The Debate

1. "Is this the government or a damned shanty town?" belts conservative leader Zack Gutenberg while slamming down his proposal on your desk. "We need to slash everything! Slash every department in half and rein this bloated government back in! Cut John Q. Taxpayer a break and ax our wasteful spending!"

2. "Now wait. Let's not be too hasty," cautions Dave Hernandez, your Minister of the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Department of the Interior's Interior. "Sure, maybe the government is a teensie bit too big, but why can't we solve this with scissors instead of a hatchet? Let's appoint a Minister in charge of Governmental Oversight to examine our budget and see what reasonable cuts can be made. Trust me, Privy Council, you don't want to go axing such crucial departments without some investigation."

3. "What we have discovered is the bureaucrat's natural habitat," soothingly narrates renowned naturalist Nigel Verithorough. "We have visited this tribal community several times since its discovery and have made great strides in understanding their unfamiliar ways. What was immediately clear to us was that this community would never be able to survive in our world. In the name of cultural preservation, we must protect their environment - in this case, the catacombs of Gigaverse's Capitol. Study and observe, but do not destroy, Privy Council."

^ This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

There are already both Medieval and FFT variants of Ashkera, oddly enough. Though, there are a few alterations I'd make if we're allowing non-humans with roughly human species stat balance.

Maybe the Venn-Copard Continental Empire would rely on the medieval equivalent of kinetic weapons - crossbows and trebuchets, anyone?

I'm pretty sure Singy means to lock this thread at some point though, and intends to redirect off-topic conversation to the chatrooms. Anyways, you should post on the other thread at least once, just to get it in your feed.

But it's already veered way off-topic, and Singy has not only not done anything but has participated in those off-topic discussions, so... I'm pretty sure you're safe with stuff like this, considering there was borderline image spam and he didn't do shit.. Plus, it sounds like this thread is meant to be abandoned.

Okay, so, uh, I was bored, and I decided to set up a Discord server for the LoM, because why the hell not? Also, I guess it is a bit more instantaneous than the forum, and is more visually appealing than Chatango. I'm not sure how customizable Chatango is, though, and it's for memes either way.

Could be used for casual conversation and shit, and I have some lobby things set up for different topics, including a meme lobby, because I totally am trying to overthrow the chatango, it's just so fucking ugly reasons, and has voice chat in case some LoM members aren't insecure about their voice and antisocial.

It's also supposed to have an icon thing I cooked up in GIMP, but it was refusing to change it, so that will be up at some other time.
