I remember your previous posts about rebuilding in the ruins of New York.
I am also planning a hybrid T2k/MP world so often the lines between games get blurred to the point where I am not sure where to ask a question.
If we get very "Project" focused answers this thread might get moved to the MP section. If they are of the more general sense about fudal tithing in a T2k world I guess it can stay here.
To keep this on topic, at least initially, I can totally see CIVGOV and MILGOV (as well as other factions) engaging in, or at least condoning, this practice in situations where they feel there will be gain. Of course the system will eventually lead to a portion of non-trustworthy people being in charge. Abuses and theft would be rampant at all levels and I am not sure that an unelected "Lord" would be able to motivate beyond the use of fear (doth direct and indirect) in the early years.
Going back to the project, I never expected them to engage in anything other than promoting Capitalism once the basics of survival were covered. This being motivated by the Founders capitalistic roots and the very strong us vs them attitude they had towards communism.
