No. Friendly succession. I would have been the first mayor if we were able to put our city in at a decent time, but instead we had to place it in the middle of a weekday afternoon (The Great Land Rush) and I was not able to be there for our city's founding. Mako Darkstar, at the time a newbie to our guild, stepped up and got Novie Politician as the servers came online.

Most of the time.
9. What was your primary profession prior to implementation of politician? Did you keep or drop that profession to become a politician?
Smuggler. I dropped it to master Politician and, due to the lack of permanent master musician/dancers, I also dropped almost all my other skills to get Master Musician so I could make sure of the continued existance of our cantina (1/250 skill points remaining and nothing I can drop). Had to buy another account to make another character that is not 'done'.

10. Is your city currently using any of the specializations? Research Center
howdy. great idea...
1. i am 4,2,2,3
2. no, but i have some xp over and can train another box.. i was going to go for master and keep it, but at this time i see no benefit to either myself or my city as we dont want gardens or a different city spec that i am currently not able to use because of what i dont have trained (medical, entertainer, strong hold)
3. 68.
4. no. i am the original mayor and no one has run against me.
5. see number 4.
6. private. primarily by one PA, but we do have several non guilded residents and one who is in another guild that wanted to move his workshop into my city because of our city spec (reserch centre). he pays me a fee each week whoch i put into the cities coffers. he pays me so i know he is paying it. we are only private because i dont want anyone placing an extractor in the city square or a faction base or turrent in the middle of a street.
7. i have 3 accounts. my politician toon is also master artisan, master architect and has most of merchant as well which fills out my 250 skill points. i have another crafter toon and the third is pure combat.
8. i dedicate an hour a day for city buisness. this includes replying to e-mail. everyone knows that if they want to talk about the city this this is the time to do it, this way i dont get bothered when i am hunting on another toon unless its important.
9. this account was always set aside sinse august to be our mayor. i knew from the start what else i would be able to do so based the toon around this, or what we assumed it would be.
10. yes, reserch centre as stated above. got it, love it, will never change it unless we get the master specs back so i can have the 2 crafting ones at the same time.
hope this is usefull
