I would like to point out a flaw in the set up of the mayoral race. First off I would to state that I have a bachelors degree in political science and haved government systems and voting patterns from around the world. That being said the way the the voting system is set up is very disadvantageous to a new mayor ever getting elected. All votes by default go to the incumbent mayor. Because the trend of people not paying any attention and actually voting almost all votes will go to the incumbent mayor. That mayor will receive the most xp and the competition will have no skills to counter the incumbent with. Campaigning is a hit or miss event. You have to be online at the same time as other people and people actually have to go to the city. Since everyones vote is by default for the incumbent campaigning by the city hall will gain you little because most people will have little to no reason to go there.
In short, having a default voting system makes it next to impossible for there to be any change in power in a city.
LOL! I just want to know who told you that a GAME system was like REAL LIFE?
The system created is for ease of play. KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid! If we only had the election for mayor once every 2 to 4 years, a real-life proposal might make sense. With a weekly vote, as a player, it would be a royal pain in the butt.
Geez... just go play, and try to have a little fun, will ya'?
