Thread: The official How many residents did you lose thread
We lost 9 citizens. One of them was definitely active, I saw him online the day before. He redeclared and became a citizen again, but I find it troubling that an active player was removed from my city because of this "feature" the devs added.
Several others I'm not sure about, and the rest are people who stopped playing a few months ago. The thing here is that they maintain houses in town, and they probably will come back to the game someday, so losing them as citizens is just annoying.
I guess we'll have to see what lasting effect this change has on the game. I know a lot of cities are falling apart because of this, I'm surprised that there aren't more threads about it.

Lost six, all MIA.
Don't know about their houses, can't even find my own sometimes.
Lost 7 - all genuinely MIA - down to 57 total.
A couple of them I did not know had ever moved into the city.

Lost 10. From 88 down to 78. Back up to 82-83 right now. Expecting to lose more next week. I'm going to turn back on property tax to burn out houses.

we were only expecting to lose 3, but lost 11, took us to 47, and we lost our shuttleport, and the planet is capped, so no way of getting shuttleport back
kinda helps us anyways, our city hall was to close to the end of the map, so we are chaning planets.
oh well
In the City of Chulak, we have lost over 12 ppl and went from 57 to 45. And most importantly we have lost our mayor and our shuttle port. No one comes to our city now, all our artisans are moving, all our businesses are completely destroyed =(. Thats right we have NO MAYOR!!!! For over the past 8 weeks we have been trying to elect a new mayor and this STUPID autovote feature of the mayoral race defeats our challenger EACH AND EVERY TIME.
Our mayor has not logged in for 2 months and has won over 8 times to an active, playing challenger. He campaigns, we campaign with him and he still looses cause the devs are toolame to do anything about this situation. They would rather create uselss droids then fix the election process so EXISTING communities can survive let alone flourish. GOOD JOB DEVS, YOU GET THEIDIOT RASPBERRY AWARD FOR THIS AUTOVOTE FEATURE!!!!
