Guelphissauga #5: Silvercreek Parkway Proposal

The Fellowship of Guelphissauga continues after the destruction of the 25 Storey Tower of Sauron. Following an epic battle between the Fellowship and the Property Developer Orcs, the Tower of Sauron proposal was rejected, the secondary sneak attack on Whitelaw Forest was thwarted, and the PD Orc army was split in two. The PD Orc's southern armada returned to their Toronto-based camps, defeated and grumbling for revenge. In the heat of the battle, one PD Orc tribe got separated from the pure blue-blooded Orcs and fled northward. They settled in the Ward, where they hid divided from the others. Cut-off from any army supply lines, mingling with the locals was the isolated Orc tribe's only hope for survival.

Defeated from the battle of Sauron and the rejection in Whitelaw forest, the pure blue-blooded PD Orcs returned to their corporate dungeons to plan another strategy. Ignoring the Rule of the Ward, they stubbornly stuck to their original 9-storey building blueprints. They also provided little direction on plans for energy efficiency and preserving natural forestry. With Councillors Mark MacKinnon & Dan Gibson now leading the way, the pure-bred Orcs are taking their third, and hopefully last, shot at Whitelaw Forest.

Meanwhile, the isolated remains of the PD Orc army was divided and starving in the Ward. They managed to survive the winter by mingling with local hipsters & hippies and learning their ways. Particularly, they learned the importance of following the Rule of the Ward. By keeping that rule in mind, they could always look forward to better days. The isolated Orc tribe also spent time with local Nimby Dogs, where they observed the importance of preserving old forests and using renewable energy sources. Enlightened by the local experience and knowledge, the isolated Orcs evolved away from their pure blue-blooded brothers and became the new Green-Blooded Ward Orcs.

Now both PD Orc armies have returned with the Blue-Bloods in the south and the Green-Bloods in the north. The Blue-Blooded PD Orcs are repeating old tactics by hammering at the door of Whitelaw Forest with Mark MacKinnon & Dan Gibson in the lead. As a desperate last attack, they have little chance for success by breaking the Rule of the Ward, not committing to energy efficiency, and eliminating old forestry. But on the north side of town, the newly enlightened Green-Blooded Ward Orcs are taking a more reasonable approach with their proposal. They have a better chance of success by following the Rule of the Ward, committing to energy efficiency with solar panels, and preserving parts of the old growth forest.

What do you think?
Should City Council refuse the third attempt to build in Whitelaw Forest?
Will Mark MacKinnon and Dan Gibson respect the Rule of the Ward?
Will Leanne Caron Piper, Rodrigo Goller, & James Gordon accept the Green Silvercreek proposal?
