Okay, there is the Gossip, Major Events, and Rumors  DM thread. But it is mostly about political issues, or powerful character's deeds. Or as the name says "MAJOR" events. What about the small stuff? 'Gossip, Minor Events, Peoples' complaints', etc. What I suggest here, is to emplament a DM thread, similar to that one, that serves as a thermometer of how citizens, patricians, slaves, outcasts, etc, are feeling, as a mass. that is actually focused on the populace, and how they feel. I am not talking about PCs. I am talking about all the NPCs that mechanicaly actually don't even exist, but are the ones refered in DM shouts 'A mass of citizens are seeing gathering in fornt of main gates'. For example 'It is now common to hear people complaining about how the taxes are taking half of their wealth' .... Or 'People are so pleased with the House SHarboneth, it is common to hear one citizen or another to say 'long life go Governor' ...

I hope you get the idea ... And if there is a similar thread, please link me, I did look for one, without success.

Something similar to the State of Sanctuary would be very useful in gauging the general mood of the Colony.

Yeah, well, I never played the old EfU, but it seems like that.

So, what do you think, people? I want to hear the people's voices! XD

Supported, makes it easier for people to RP about how to help people when we can actually hear their complaints, eh?

NPCs do this IG. There's a scripted rumor system.

Oh ... I didn't realize that ... Most I hear is 'spare a coin' ... I'll check the NPC gossipers then, thank you

It has been grossly neglected, though!
