Thread: Our mayor just deleted our R 5 City coz he was losing
But I'm afraid there isn't a whole lot that can be done. Either put ina new city hall and wait a few weeks to get back up to the rank it was at before, or move to another city. The people with cantinas and such should have enough time, seeing as they're privately-owned structures, they should stay up even if the city isn't around... as long as they pay the maintaince.
I would recommend filing a CSR ticket ASAP. Destroying a city because they were losing an election has been considered harassment by CSRs in the past. It may be possible to restore the city if this is done quickly enough.

Although I feel sorry for the poster, I was told that if someone Builds up a city from ground up, and the Mayour has made the payments and what not, it was that Mayours right to destroy his city for any reason.
I agree with submitting a CSR ticket, but it was his city to do with as he pleased.
Just like we mayours have the right to /citybann anyone we chose to, for any reason.
I do feel for the Original Poster, but don't hold your breath to much to getting your city back. You might get the same response that someone else got, and that was that it was the mayours right to do with his/her city that they wanted. /shrug.
Good luck and hope it turns out for the better part for you and the citizens,

It doesn't matter if they've put every credit into the treasury, a Mayor does not "own" a Player City. It is a community, not someone's personal property. The Mayor is the caretaker and can govern as they see fit while in office, but citizens would not have the ability to vote them out if it was the Mayor's personal property.

just for the sake of argument, if the mayor can govern as they see fit, doesn't that include disbanding the city?
and before i get gang-forumed here, i think this is a craptacular thing to do. imh, when there is an election active, civic structures should not be allowed to be deleted and hte city should not be able to be disbanded during that time either.

What part of "Purchasing the City Hall then placing it" isn't part of "owning" a player city. It cost the mayor some amount of credits and/or resources to place that City Hall. All the citizens do is declare citizenship. If they don't like who the mayor is, they can move out. They can also try and elect someone else to be mayor. If the current mayor decides that the citizens don't deserve the work he put into the town, it's his choice to destroy the city as he sees fit. See, he "owns" the city.
Now, if the mayor were elected into an existing city, then destroys the city at his leisure, that is a failure on the diplomatic part of either the mayor himself, or the citizens. The citizens elected him, trusting in his responsibility and good will. If they wanted someone else in his position, they should have figured out a way to have him resign peacefully.
Just because someone is a "Bad Sport", doesn't mean they have done anything wrong. It may be morally wrong, but morality has nothing to do with a game.
The election should be in there in case the mayor decides he doesn't want to be mayor any more. Then he can pass the torch onto someone that does want to be mayor.
If cities were meant to be communities, then it wouldn't cost the mayor anything to place a town, and there would be a city council. Cities in SWG are organized more like a military establishment. One "general" that says the way things are done.
