I am a new mayor or politician. I have a cityu on dantooine on the gorath server called River Phoenix. have had my own city for a couple weeks. Now Does anyone have any input on being a successful mayor or any tips for me at all. I have been reading the forums and have gotten some, but I feel liek i'm not a good mayor and is there anything I need to know to keep people in my city. Should i have events and what kind, or I'm not good at interacting with my fellow citizens, how can I take a better leadership role? Any input would be great! thanks.

I have no shame; I am totally willing to brag about what a great mayor I am. (Ask any of my citizens)

Here are some of the things I do:

I send out weekly emails to the entire city, informing them about developments and greeting new citizens.

I run a house decorating contest amongst my citizens. I find that if you offer them a nice prize and a statue in their honor to be placed prominently in the city, many people enjoy doing it.

I make sure everyone knows that I will place any trainer they want. I keep an extra slot open for this.

Write up a big city FAQ to answer common questions.

That's all I can think of right now.

To be Successful as a Mayor or as a Business person, you need to:

No City has it all right or will ever have it all right. So, look for something that needs improvement. Do this by talking to the citizens and town elders.

Recognize the needs of the city, community, and the citizens. Then look for a way to serve the people who voted for you by coming up with avision of what you want your city to become and then get consensus on that vision from a City Council based on input from the citizens.

Whetherimprovements are needed to facilitate easy access to businesses and vendors, or improving placement of trainers and mission terminals where it doesn't look too artificial, or improving the location of the shuttleport in connection with your business district. All of these are good choices for projects for the city.

But most of all remember what it is like to walk in the shoes of your citizens. One of the problems with current politicians in real life is that they lose their grounding, forget about who they were and the people they serve.

PS: Make sure to manage your budget. Watch you spending on decorations, trainers, terminals, etc. Because heavy taxation will drive new people away from your town quick. I know when I started out, 2000 credits a week for taxes would have buried me.

I hopesome part of these ramblings helped.

Even Star Wars movies dont like NGE....

Yoda: Twisted by the Dark Side, young SWG has become. The game we played, gone it is... Consumed by the NGE.
Mace Windu(us): The customers will decide SWG's fate.
Supreme Chancellor(Devs): I *am* the customers!

So this is how liberty is crushed...... by the sound of Tiggs Paws.

I'll miss being a TK

I oppose the NGE and support Holocron Shug and Q-3p0's dream of the way SWG should be!


"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, ?How can we do this and not make another EQ?? We didn?t want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we?ve created a system to make that happen."
