“Mission Statement” examines a problem that any group with access to power must address: what do you do to keep down the number of jerks looking for access to that power? This, I feel, is not addressed enough in modern fantasy. And when it is, it typically goes too far in the other direction and just gets rid of the jerks entirely. I feel that this is also not an optimal result.
Anyway… Patreon!
Ohh, *that* where you were going with that. I confess that extra bit of context helped me understand it quite a bit. I like it.
