well, apparently you don't pay much attention... I've already stated once in this thread (and many times in others) that I'm not a man, yet you keep referring to me as a "he".
Why dont you remove your thread too that my response was directed at?
Again, that is petty AND DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE THREAD.
Sorry Ham to go off topic here, but i was wondering the same thing.
Why was your post removed, but yet Pappi's wasn't?
I saw your post, and it was no different than basically what Pappi wrote. I think someone may be abusing their power a bit here.
I too have noticed nothing happening in the politician profession, so i dont know why everyone seems to be against ham-jo here. I have had only one instance of this happening, and the house is still there. So everyone (INCLUDING the Politician Coorespondant) that thinks this isnt a problem, needs to look a little further into it.

Don't blame Pappi for your post being removed. Anyone can report a post to a moderator and ask for it to be removed or locked. In this case, that person was me.
LMAO....
So my post was in direct reflection of what Pappi said, and you took offense to it? There was nothing wrong with it.
Her post is off topic, as is yours. \
People seriously need to grow up. Really. Im sure you hear worse at your dinner table in the evening. Sheesh.

However, I do think that on this particular issue Pappi went way to soft and having to read all this babble about the non-existing purge and attacks on our placing policy as the only arguments is not very encouraging. At least there should be an acknolegdement that there is a huge problem. I understand that for small cities or guild cities this isn't a big problem. But for big merchant cities it is a huge problem and I fear that we're not getting the representation we deserve because there are only a few succesfull and really big merchant cities on the servers. Nevertheless we are representing a huge chunk of the community on our server.Pappi, I would like to extend my hand and invite you to Helios on Scylla. I would love to give you a tour of our city and show you exactly what the problem is.Message Edited by Rehavam on 02-21-2005 04:12 PM
hon, I know exactly what the problem is. I am a mayor of a metropolis, as well as citizens of a few cities (on different servers.)
however, I'm not a dev and can't (as well as not responsible to) fix it. The purge *is* the answer they gave me after I brought this up numerous times, and while I don't like it as much as most of you do I can't do much about it. if the thread I put up a month ago generated better response, I would've had better evidence to bring to the devs...
p.s.: you folks are assuming that I agree with all the politician/player cities changes we've had, or even that I promoted them. usually the devs come up with the ideas, and I end up spending most of my time telling them what the player concerns would be with it. please don't tell me how to do my job if you're not willing to take my suggestions seriously.

A good solution is to put the tents down yourself and make the merchant an admin. That way you control the tents in the future.
*shrug* But I don't know any better ways...I hope devs do something since it seems to be a huge problem in many cities

Hamm-Jo needs to gain a bit of respect and insight into the Correspondent position, and what it is they are supposed to do. Slapping someone about isn't the best way to get them to see your point.
Pappi: I'm not a regular reader or poster in here, but this thread made me go look. How come there isn't a politician issues thread, did I miss it? I trust you have your finger on the pulse of politics in swg much more than I, and that you have made it clear to the devs that many Mayors are bothered by the system as it is. It just seems that you blew off the concerns raised here a bit too easily, that's my only issue.
She linked to the thread over political issues for the patch in question just a handfull of posts up top.Here beyond that there is no need for a politician issue thread since all the issues are pretty much dead horses at this point. Everyone that's been in the forum community for a good while could probably enumerate them off the top of their head now. Aside from that, there is also the fact that we aren't going to be getting much development time at all anytime soon so it would be a moot point to have one.
Don't take this as an unwritten restriction on posting ideas or constructuve threads on new ideas and issues but after awhile you just get tired of beating a dead horse. If you have a new concern or something that's pretty inventive to help out player cities in a simple or even expansive way post it and we can start to banter about it but raising up an issue that permeates the community is just moronic. That's why you don't see any posts about the sales tax bug. We know it's there, the devs know it's there, pretty much we're as far as we can get in regards to that among other things.
I think the main reason the flames started here (at least the reason that I made my little rant) was in response to becoming more then a tad bit snippy to Pappi. She's my correspondent and damnded good one. I shall defend her.
PS Oh and the reason this was put in is because the very first player purge (never had one before outside of the citizen purge which is majorly different) should be coming soon. I wouldn't put money on before the CURB since that is going to bring people back in droves but it is actually coming, not just a possibility. That will solve the problem partially. What we need are CSR's allowing us to cut off bank funds funelling into the homes basically.

This right here would be a fantastic idea.
Allow the option that mayors can enter any structure, regardless if it is set public or not. Not to be on admin, but to be able to give them one option, and that is to turn off the bank funds.
A good idea Chipmunk.

That would require 186 lots in our city.
