I'm sure this has been asked a zillion times, but...

1.) If I run against the Mayor and win the election, doI win the town and ALL current city owned structures placed there? (shuttleport, cloner, City Hall)

2.) Will any structuresbe able to be taken away by the former mayor?

I want to replace our current mayor but I do not want my town to lose the structures (shuttleport, City hall, cloner, etc.)

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Okay, here is the situation... you will keep any structures still in place when he is voted out of office... but you really should discuss this with him first... If he feels you are being sneaky, or somehow unfair in your attempt to replace him he may consider removing structures and taking them with him... He may even destroy the City Hall in order to prevent you from doing so... it can be done. Just a warning.

This is where we as politicians actually get to excercise some diplomacy, because if a change of the guard in a city goes badly the whole city can suffer from the resulting situation. Also,a good mayor will realize this and do what is best for their city.

Just food for thought. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick answers.

Yes, I would definately talk with the current Mayor before doing anything. I would never want to hurt my town or guildmates by trying to steal the city. That would just be wrong.

No problem SithGod69,

While most anyone really interested in the spirit of the politician profession would whole-heartedly agree with us on this point, there are a great many (as can be seen daily when playing the game) with no apparent ability for forethought, orrespect forthe enjoyment of others.

While these qualities seem obvious to most of us, they are unfortunately beyond many. I hope you are able to serve your city well.

This is why i dislike the proffesion. See, a mayor shouldn't be a dictator, but they are. A city should stand regardless of mayor.. whatever i have a lot of feelings to express but don't really know how, anyways I think the whole player city thing is just like guild halls. An elite group of people run them, but this won't change. Im pretty sure a mayor could ban someone from a town just for running agaisnt them, whatever i dunno.

I have another question:

Say I am in a city with 80 citizens. 35 players vote for me and0 players physically vote at the ballot box for the incumbent.

Would the incumbent Mayor get the remaining 45 votes automatically and win the election? Or would he recieve 0 votes, because no actual players voted for him, and I would win?

This is very important that I get an accurateanswer to this question. The future ofa largecity depends on it.

Thanks

V.F.

Votes for non participating members still go to the incumbant. It was done this way to make our lives as mayors slightly easier. If it wasn't put in, it would take a year to master politician as we would have to harass the citizens each week to remember and go vote.

To clarify, all citizens "vote" every week. When you register to run for mayor, the standings will show the incumbant with (total citizens-1) votes and you with one vote. As people come in to vote for you, they are actually changing their existing vote (which is always for the incumbant).

Therefore, even if you have 100% of the "physical" vote, you have to have 50%+1 votes to oust an incumbant.

And for the other poster, actually, I don't think it's there to make our lives easier. It's there to prevent people registering torun for mayor15 seconds before the update timer expires, thus winning as they were the only person who voted that week.

Well I had to run against our first Mayor. She was not on for about 3 weeks and no one heard from her. So we all thought someone else should run so I stepped up to the plate. It was hard took 2 weeks to get people on to get half the vote. She did in turn come on the day after update and was so pissed off that she destroyed the med center and what was in it. We did get it back from her but not without a fight. But the city has not been happier and we have grown in size as well and getting ready to do a new city layout. So all in all it was so worth the fight. And by the way you cant ban a city member.
