When you’re not fighting Revolutionaries, Traitors, Syndicates and Wizards, you are monitoring the crew.

You are the Judge, the final word, the Big Guy. You have the ultimate veto power over all matters and is the only person who can authorize an execution without a trial. There really is no way to tell you exactly how to run things as many people have different leadership styles.
