city maintenance is calculated after the voting cycle every 3 weeks, and by itself in the other 2 weeks. so if the city had no money and has taken enough damage before voting/maint cycle comes up, civic structures (including the city hall) can be destoryed.

well, giving money to the mayor does not equal to the maintenance being paid, and taxes being paid doesn't mean the budget will belance itself.

admin to the city hall only means that the mayor is the only person that can drop/pickup items in the hall. anyone (including non-citizens) can put money directly into the treasury by accessing the city terminal in the left room. anyone can also check the status of the city, list of citizens, list of structures, city level, maintenance report, and treasury report via that terminal. the city hall is a civic structure, and since citizens cannot be citybanned that implies any citizen can check these stats out at any time.

this might not be anyone's fault (except for your mayor who quit). it's unfortunate that the hall is gone, but it's just bad luck (and poor oversight) that resulted in the city hall poofing right after your new mayor is elected. you can see if the CSR has mercy on the situation, however it's not a bug and I doubt they'll do much about it.

Good to know I guess. Still doesnt mean that a person in charge got the message

If a city is demolished on the election day, cant it at least be postponed a new election period if a new mayor took over?

well, as you had weeks from the treasury hits 0 to civic structures being destroyed, there isn't much ground for me to bring that request to the devs. I can put "email to citizens when treasury is out of money" onto our wish list, but I doubt it'll happen any time soon

Hmmmm.

When I read what you said I thought you meant that a City is deleted on election day, and thats the only time in which cities are deleted. That means that each 3rd week cities dissappear, if nobody payed maintenance.

The request in this case was that if the old mayor lost the race against a new mayor, the city should not be deleted that electionday (the second the new mayor takes over), but postponed to next election, or a week after that. Or something. Giving the new mayor chances to shape up and fix up all bad things the now removed Mayor caused to the city.

---

I meant that the city maintenance cycle happens every 7 in game days, however every 3rd one coincides with the voting cycle, and the maintenance happens *after* the voting... which would explain why the city poofed after your new mayor is elected instead of the old one.

an email to the citizens when the treasury hits 0 should be enough warning, as it takes a few more weeks before the city hall poofs without funds in the treasury. the civic structures takes damage that can be reversed by putting extra money into the treasury.

if it makes you feel better, there's now a new guild system in place. you can probably read the details in the guild forum, but if a guild leader doesn't log on for a certain amount of time people can vote someone else in as leader

I have taken daily visits to the PA forum since our guild broke 2 weeks ago. Its a known problem and it seems its been unfixed for 2 months.

In the case where a guild lost its leader by some reason, the guild terminal is frozen stiff. No further commands are accepted.

This includes inviting and electing a new (or old) guildleader.

hrm, well that's outside of the scope for here, so you might want to post on the PA forum. you can try sending in a CSR ticket for that though... not sure what they can do (and they probably won't, so post in the PA forum just in case), but it doesn't hurt to try


p.s.: I'm going to bed, no more responding to threads until tomorrow afternoon

Already one step ahead there. Posted 3 tickets and they cant help. Posted it on the forums, the only thing they can tell me is that the CSR's cant help
But yep, I got sidetracked and lost my topic... so I hope you had a good nights sleep without listening to my rambling ^_^

well... did anyone put money into the treasury while the old mayor was gone? anyone can donate to the treasury, andthere should've been *weeks* where the structures were damaged before the city hall poofs. it's not a bug unless there was money in the treasury and it mysteriously poofed anyway.
