I just wanted to get a few things out in the open, some of this may help clarify what is going on in your town and help you understand why you are/are not receiving the experience you think you should be....

I have been mayor of a city on Corellia called Auldhelm for three months now, My first character laid the city hall and due to things that happened in my life, I had to get a new account. My curren't character has been Politician/Mayor for almost a month and a half, so, as you see, I have been the first mayor, and an elected mayor, so I have a little insight to share with all of you.

Let me explain first that, as an original mayor, as peeps lay houses in your city and declare residence that is automatically one vote cast for you. Yes, I suggest physically walking them to the ballot box and explaining how to vote and that you only get xp for their vote and they have to do it once a week, and let them believe that

As an 'original' mayor, you are golden /cheer

Now, here comes the rub, as an 'elected' mayor, you must hit the pavement and get all your peeps to vote for you. You will not receive absentee votes unless that person has physically voted for you at one time! Let me show you what I mean...

say I have bob, ann and jeff in my city

week 1

Bob votes for me - 100 xp

Ann votes for me - 100 xp

Jeff doesn't vote - 0 xp

Week 2

Bob votes for me - 100 xp

Ann doesn't vote - 100 xp

Jeff doesn't vote - 0 xp

week 3

Bob votes for me - 100 xp and a big kiss

Ann votes for me - 100 xp

Jeff doesn't vote - 0 xp and he gets kicked out of the guild (just kidding)

it does rub me the wrong way that you have to get these people to the polls so you don't lose xp, but isn't that whatbeing a mayor is all about?

I hope this helps some of you who feel they have lost experience...

awww, darn it, I forgot to add that as an 'elected' politican, that you receive the votes for peeps who declare residence in your city while you are the mayor wether they vote or not.

Has anyone tried having someone run against an elected mayor so that all of the other votes will shift? I'm thinking about trying this for this cycle.

What I'm hoping is all of the votes will be reset to me.

That is a great explanation, our city is going through xp loss hell. It's funny that the CSR's cannot explain the matter in this way. Take a look at what they had to say.
Your solution seems logical and well thought out. Is there any official/correspondent word on this? I am not a polician, but an active member of my city disgusted with recent events. The CSR and Politician correspondent response to our personal problem is lacking and poor. I have PM'd The politician correspondent with no reply, either message or to the thread on our specific topic. This is your job, if you don't like it go the way of Plinka.

But if this is indeed how it is working it needs to be fixed. It shouldn't work 2 different ways for 2 different mayors.

Oh and btw if this is the correct explanation to the loss of xp problem please sticky this, I'm sure a lot of people are unsure of the problem and possible answer.

if you look closely, Kiom, it's not working two different ways, the original mayor gets all votes for peeps who lay houses in their city, and the same thing happens for the 'elected' mayor..so it's really just the same thing, the original mayor has the luck of not having to get peeps to transfer their votes

Fair enough that placing the house is the difference. But it is 2 different ways in that the first mayor does not have to get people to go vote and the elected mayor does.

actually the six week inactivity rule is going to help that problem a lot. I have found that the peeps that I am not receiving xp from are also the peeps that are being removed from my citizen roles. It's not that hard to get an active citizen to the city hall at least ONCE to get that vote.

An idea...
If this is the case then we sould get a report of who's votes are not counting so we can ask them to vote or let them know of the situation. There is no way to know this as the game current exists.

another idea....
I won an election away form an incumbant mayor and got 49 of the 89 votes. I have no idea who the 40 people I need to talk to are. Seems to me the game should reset those 40 votes to count as XP for me unless these folks have said otherwise. In otherwords unless they went to the ballot box during my election against the old incumbant, and specifically cast the vote against me, thier vote should count for me in all subsequent elections as far as XP is concerned.

even better idea....
We as mayors have to wait a week to get our XP and it's not even that much when we do get it, some professions can be mastered in a week. we are lucky to get a few boxes completed..... So why not simplyfy this and make all the votes reset to the current incumbant and make the votes count for XP too.

I completely agree with you x, about the resetting of the votes to the new mayor, butunfortunately I am not a dev

I hope that we can get confirmation that this is indeed the way politician xp works in the game, because, as it stands, I am shooting in the dark here, I posted this out of complete past experience.

I would love to get a listing of who did/did not vote for me, so I can ask them why they did/did not, and who is unhappy with my tenure in office. It would definaetely make my roleplaying a more worthwhile experience.

There is fault with this to a degree.

I have had both, the original mayor and now I have the elected 2nd mayor of my city.

The original mayor had problems with votes vs. exp as well, and the same problems were there. People didn't vote, I didn't get the exp. However, because my 1st character was only a temporary mayor, it bothered me, but didn't blow me out of the water.

Now, I have my 2nd character as acting mayor, and he likewise has had both things happen.

1st and 2nd week as elected mayor (This is not the week that he actually became mayor mind you that's week 0). He missed a total of 1800 experience, because people didn't vote for him physically.

3rd week: Not everyone voted for him physically again, however, 22 citizens, 2200 experience showed up. I know that not everyone voted for him, as we have a few individuals in our city that do not get to our city as they should and have even acknowledged that they didn't vote. Plus, my primary character didn't even vote for the mayor. lol.

4th Week, I had 400 experience on the back burner, I won the election, unopposed makes it easy of course, however, I got 2100 experience. Still have 22 citizens, but capped at 2500 points. lol.

So, for 4 weeks now I have been mayor, not including 0 week. I am out about 1900 experience points as it stands right now. Funny though that I can get it all one week, miss 100 experience another and get smoked on 2 other occasions. This doesn't represent what is being said about active votes vs. experience, this says there is a bug in the system and things happens randomly instead of as they should. So, even though your theory about how it SHOULD be, or how it is MEANT to be is valid, it is not ACTIVE.

So, to end my comment on this, I agree with what you are saying, in theory only. I can not agree with you though in full, as I have shown you that it is not an active part of the system, as the physical system is flawed and not working properly as meant to be.

That's exactly what I'm saying. My PM to Bajeezus hasn't even been read yet and I sent it on March 19th, Maybe I'll update it with a link to this thread.
