Editing Talk:Covenant:McHugh

Some suggestions:

*I think the Cabal's logic should remain a mystery. It's all much more spooky if we have no idea why a group of lawmen would commit ritual suicide. The conspicuous date makes it a great device for Big Picture plots.

*Personally, I'd like the police force a lot more as an independent conspiracy, not something sanctioned by the townsfolk. They should be a group of people who still believe in secular law & order. When God's away, it'd make for excellent power plays between them and the religious zealots. Maybe they're strongest in certain neighborhoods?

As for high school, I don't know. Seems like home schoolin' would be the order of the day. Maybe, like the independent police, there's always been one or two teachers who insist on keeping the school open for those who want their children to attend. Every class would become a history class, what with the world havin' ended and all.

:I had originally thought the Cabal would span the strata of the citizenry, rather than just being law-enforcers.  The only thing I had intended for them to have in common was that they were born before the fall.

:Law enforcement as separate conspiracy sounds great.  As does home schooling v the few teachers left.  Opens the way for lots of conflicts and power struggles.
