[] Make My Own!
Find another path when you disagree. Cultural flexibility, but greater difficulty when push comes to shove, because it rewards avoiding conflict.
[] Caretakers of the Land
Focuses on how hard work improves the bounty of the land. Gives a certain diligence towards making do with what you have, but also tempers expansion.
[] Sacred Hospitality
A common one across cultures, one where a traveler may always be able to find a meal and hearth. Encourages travel and trade, but also increases vulnerability to disease and thieves.
[] Pressure for Charity
Encourages the wealthy to be generous in displays of wealth. Leads to the wealthy sponsoring public works and other such in the future, but also leads to extravagance and waste in leaner times.
People want to look successful, even if they aren't.
Cements class divisions, in times of famine this will turn ugly.
[] Communal Distribution for Communal Effort
Encourages a communal culture, everyone working for everyone else. Most equitable organization, and delays class division for a later time period(when specialization starts kicking in). Ensures that everyone has more free time overall, which encourages development of arts and crafts.
However, it also WILL be exploited by people taking a share without doing the work for it(which is difficult to distinguish from philosophers and artists
). Future turns will probably incorporate a countermeasure for that in an ethics system.
[] Families Tend the Land
Encourages land division by family, aka the basics of feudalism. Conflict will grow as generations pass, since the allotments will either spread out across families blobbing together, or fragment as extended families break up when their common ancestors die.
Cements class divisions, rich families will grow richer, poor families grow poorer. Creates a noble class, which also means that the rich will have the time and excess food to indulge interests in the arts and crafts.
[] A Big Man is Needed!
Kings. High risk high reward, as it depends heavily upon their competence. You only need one bad one to force the rules to favor him and his family. But a good Big Man can go places and make constructive change just as a bad one can ruin everything.
[] A Council of Chiefs
Council. Middle ground option. You get less drastic changes than the Big Man, but more vulnerable to panics and such.
A balanced option.
[] A Council of Elders
Elders would be the most stable, but also the most conservative options. Old people never like things changing on them, so you trade adaptability for stability.
Good at solving problems that have been encountered before, but not so good at taking advantage of opportunities.
[] No Need for Change
Let the confusion brew a bit so that other ideas for organization can arise. This depends on the other options, but it's how traders can come to power naturally, by dint of knowing the most people.
