Editing The City (section)

===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
The area that would become the city quickly filled up with refugees and buildings, development was greatly aided thanks to decades of behind the scenes work from various [[Cauldron|established]] and [[Tattletale|newly established]] parties, interested in [[Accord|social]] and [[The Number Man|economic]] development.<ref name=WR> I know some people have taken issue with ‘the city’.  There’s a segment of the fanbase that’s rooted in military sci-fi and hard sci-fi, and they’re intrigued by the idea of what it takes to get a post-apocalyptic society going.  I could have and should have telegraphed it better, but I think anyone that’s read my past serials knows that logistics and especially numbers are not my strength.  It was unfortunately never going to be the story I wanted to tell.  I personally felt and feel that having powers like The Number Man, Accord, and prep-work done over years and decades by forces like Tattletale and Cauldron explained it enough.  That the city sat on an unstable foundation and lacked identity in places was intentional, and was tied to the fact it went without a name, but I don’t think this was sufficiently telegraphed and I know some were frustrated with it when Worm had more ‘realism’. - [https://wildbow.wordpress.com/2020/05/03/ward-off-a-retrospective-on-a-sequel/ Ward Retrospective]</ref>
