| Block
fighting is a common feature of life in Mega-City
One and most citizens can expect to be caught
up within one at some point during their lives.
Boredom, overcrowding and mass unemployment
all combine to set tensions on a razor edge
and the slightest incident can spark off a
block war within minutes. Once two blocks
begin waging war upon one another, the judges
must act quickly to contain the violence before
it spreads. Battles involving several blocks
can quickly spiral out of control as the Citi-Def
in neighbouring city blocks watch the escalating
combat and argue which side they should join.
Left unchecked, a single minor incident can
spark off a war that envelopes a dozen blocks
and claims the lives of hundreds of thousands
of citizens in less than an hour. Whenever
such incidents occur, it is the sworn duty
of every judge to put down the unrest as quickly,
efficiently and brutally as possible. Any
reluctance can only cause the deaths of more
citizens.
