And your mistake is in thinking the battle is intended to be physical.
And while I’m perfectly capable of handling myself should that need arise, this is a battle of ideas. One that I trust you are willing to engage in good faith with.
Dr. Samuel Tolson's mistake is thinking that I'm one of my addle-brained brothers and feel a need to fight him.
I'll violate his HIPPA Oath with a pair of pliers and a smile.
We have been given a taste of true freedom. To install laws now would be akin to placing a bird in a cage, or a rainbow in a zoo.
We are all capable of governing ourselves and determining how far conflict will take us. And those that push the issue will be dealt with in kind.
As a member of the dominant socioeconomic class? You're not wrong, but the rabble need to be kept in line and so thus stands the need for a sheriff, my good doctor.
The idea that we need a sheriff to enforce laws is, well, foolish.
Laws are merely threats made by the dominant ruling class. Just a promise of violence that’s enacted by an occupying army, and should any step foot in my city, they shall never see sunlight again.
Dr. Samuel Tolson probably shouldn't be competing as he's a member of our emergency medical staff but he insists on "harvesting his own supplies" in Battle City.
We choose to be ignorant of what that means.
Mission statement and first card coming soon.
Be on standby.
Get your paperwork in, please. I don't know who's staying, who's leaving, who wants a proper fight, and who never wants to see Battle City again.
The idea of would be warlords carving out sections of land so they may rule is an interesting one.
Am I to understand they would also enact rules in their fiefdoms?
But we're keeping this small island city as our arena, it's too good not to.
Perhaps less chaotic.
Each section of the city having its own little warlord.
I'm salivating at the potential of violence.
You can adopt the name, you can adopt the aesthetics, but eventually people will see through the facade. Monsters do not proclaim themselves monsters, and those who would are the first to run.
