Any settlement large enough to call itself a city is bound to have its share of internal disagreements.

Success

Managing the city

Don't call it law. Call it arbitration. You make Your Lackey watch your methods, and encourage him to study how you make decisions. He is not a natural student, but perhaps with enough time he will be able to put a few disagreements to rest.


Failure

They know you are pulling the strings

Description summary:
The description varies based on the level of Tracklayers' Displeasure.

DispleasureDescription
1What you see here is not so different from what you might see on a sleepier street in London. People go about their business; occasionally there is a Rubbery man or someone more notable. But you see no sign of significant unrest.
2Sometimes, you feel watched. Perhaps someone on this street knows who you are [...] But no one says anything [...] For the most part, the citizens are going about their business, and neither you nor the Great Hellbound Railway are particularly important to them.
3There is graffiti on the walls out here. "Down with the GHR." "Stop importing Rubberies!" "Don't bring Hell any Closer than it already Is!" "Burn the Landlords."
4There is an attitude of open hostility on the street. The placards [...] of the Great Hellbound Railway have been defaced [...]

A woman on the corner is begging for coin. "It's in good hands," she assures everyone [...] "I'm going to use it to bring the b____s down."

5Protesters mob the gates. "Hinterland Scrip is Unlawful," says one placard. "This land doesn't belong to any Ministries and it can't be given out by them."
6Two protestors have chained themselves [...] while a third is giving a speech [...] "The Lords are no different from Masters, now," she is shouting – inaccurately, but to a very receptive crowd.

[...] you see the speaker's eyes. [...] they look yellow. And a little amused.

7+This was a protest. It has become something closer to a riot. The population wants to be rid of London companies and London Constables. They want this very much, and they are communicating their opinions in the form of thrown bricks.
