I lost about 20. I skimmed the notification emails, but none of the names really jumped out at me, i am pretty sure most of them are inactives. I am still above 55 though, so I didn't come out too badly.

I am prone to ignoring people who I find annoying, both in the game and on the forums. If it seems like I am not responding to your posts, it is probably because you have very little worth saying.

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.

Actually, the only thing that we've "lost" (so far) have been people who shouldn't have been on our city roster in the first place (people who had no houses in the city, or had moved to another city, etc). We dropped from 72 to 65 in the official roster, but from what I can tell we don't have any derelict houses in our city (all the ones that could be derelict had disappeared).


I can walk around our city and personally account for 99% of the houses, who owns them and whether or not I've seen them in the past 5 weeks. I'm only unsure about the ones where someone or a group of someone's may have placed multiples (we have a castle in our town, for instance).

31 lost. Ouch. Still holding steady at level 4 though.


But it's actually a blessing in disguise, as not only were most of those leftover squatters who tried a hostile takeover, but it seems that our income tax now works again, yay!


Our city actually made money this past week for the first time in months... Because of the damn income tax bug we were experiencing.

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.

Last week lost 13(2 double citizen, 11 mia) down to 57 (too close torank4 cuspfor my taste). Got2 of the newer guild members a house, a city on my planet collapsed and I got 3 more citizens, and 1 person returned (surprisingly). None lost on this last election.

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!!!!
