Some. However, first the mayor elected should be trustworthy I dont know how someone who would do all these things would be elected even if he was incumbant mayor... I doubt this could happen. Now, if you share city with a guild and they try to coup and take your city over THAT is more likely... so for that scenerio yeah change some things.

Now otherwise it wouldn't happen imo. Only if you allow a griefer guild in or they come in on their own.

well, actually, im an imp. but i dont want to see a town thats worked long and hard get destroyed simply because the mayor turns out to be a ass.

Well I agree that there should not be a ban or privicy to a city hall. It is just that and all citizens should be able to enter at anytime after all it is theres. As for the limits on the mayor being able to take funds out. That is a needed thing, the mayor needs these funds to buy things for the city, the citizens are also informed when a mayor takes these funds out and he/she has to give a reason as to why these funds are being with drawn. If they dont like the way they are being with drawn then vote him out. Yes there is a chance for some idiot mayor to take advantige of this, but he would be labled as a thief, and I dont no anyone that wants there name pasted all over the forms as a thief. And with the ban command would be pretty bad if a mayor did that and was banned from every player city on there server because they were labled a thief. I would ban them, shot first ask questions later. But I strongly agree with the privicy thing that should at least still let citizens in so they can vote and such, you should not be able to prevent a citizen to enter there city hall that they pay tax's on.

just my thought

it doesnt take much for somebody to get on with a second account and use it to create/ruin/destroy characters.

you can label a name, but you will never know which account its on. if they remove the character, then there is no way for you to know who that person is when they make a new one.

and believe it or not... im sure somebody will do it, or already has done it to other aspects of the game already.

nobody else wants to see these fixed?

I have already been locked out of a city hall by a mayor using the privacy or ban list feature. MrPlow on Bloodfin ordered me to vote for him and gave me a 24hr ultimatum. I refused and he locked me out of the city hall, raised taxes to 50% and gave everyone a refund. There is alot of ability for abuse by a mayor.

if you was a declared resident and he was the only mayor or existing mayor, then your vote would be to him anyway automaticly i thought? And if he could block you from city hall and raise taxes, then that would mean he was the existing mayor.... either im missing something or that mayor was pretty un-informed, and immature too

Sounds like you should have voted for him now suffer for disobaying your mayor. Personaly I threatened anyone who even thinks of runing for mayor with total exile.

Then that Mayor is just an idiot... he already has your vote. Unless anyone else is running, it doesnt matter.

what use is a treasury if you cant touch it, why do you elect mayor if you wont let s/he arrange the taxes. if you fear problems, elect the right man. this is what happens in the real world. if you vote for the wrong person, you bear it.

city hall destroying might be or might not be a good idea thats open to discussion.

If a mayor does this,..then just un-declare ur residence..fight back

Im looking at all of my abilities ingame and find that as a mayor, i can wreak havoc on my town with no way to stop me.

So a few things that i propose be revamped or removed all together...

1. the ability to instantly destroy a city hall. once voted in, anybody who decides to become evil can do so. the ability to destroy a hall should not be instant and should be put on a 7-8 day timer. This gives the people a chance to get a new canditate a chance to register and get voted in to avoid the possibility of the hall being instantly destroyed.

2. Treasury. Its too easy to completely loot the treasury. While this may be the risks of owning a city hall, its too easy for somebody to take the jackass way out and steal the money put into the city. I recommend that the ability to withdraw funds be limited in that a mayor can only take out what is needed that day to upkeep a structure. If nothing needs upkeeping then he can take nothing from the treasury. The only time that a mayor should have complete access to the treasury is if the 7-8 day period is up and a city hall is to be destroyed. Then he should have the ability to clean it out to avoid it being lost.

3. /setprivacy. this command has to be removed completely from the city hall. this prevents anybody from voting, and registering for mayor. major profession breaker.

4. Taxes. Voters should have the ability to vote on tax increases. its only fair for them to prevent a mayor that wishes to pop the taxes to 50% and then /setprivacy to prevent another mayor from unseating them. If the tax increase is justifiable then the citizens will vote to approve it.

Any thoughts?
