don't you think Bastion was actually well run and quite grown up i.e. no pointless rules
Agree unconditionally. It turned boys in to men, girls in to men, and men in to boys then back to men again.
Thing is, last time I was there there were no pointless rules because there were no pointless people filling pointless posts where they inevitably got bored and went on the prowl for a non-existant problem to which they could then apply some "leadership" in the hope of getting promoted.
Then there was KAF.....
