All the arguments against the LC ignore a very important point that they serve as Al-powered programmable welcome bots for the RMB. The forumside government can come up with some programs or events then ask the LC to remind them on the RMB. I can assure you removing an elected engagement body in gameside will make any engagement or integration effort very difficult for a region that focuses on both sides like ours. This is because people like to listen and interact with the LC a lot more than any forumside government officials who post once per month. The forumside government also has a bad habit of rarely relying on gameside surveys and polls to come up with policies so the LC acts as an "interface" layer between the forumside government and the gameside community.
