Politician Archive

Here's a hand grenade for everybody:

If I've declared residency on my house and somebody swoops in to place a City Hall that incorporates me into a town, I should be allowed to attack and destroy that City Hall and liberate myself from unwanted tyranny.

I don't know how it would work, but this seems like a fair tradeoff - if a Politician wants to build a city on occupied land, she had better get approval from the locals beforehand, or be prepared for a fight. After a City Hall is placed, let residents (and ONLY residents)decide whether they want to "accept citizenship" or "rebel against the government." Maybe allow a certain number of assassinations of the mayor by dissident residents in orderto uproot the city. Maybe allow City Halls to be deactivated by attacking it and hacking it like a Faction Base. I don't know what other choices there might be, but I see it as a way to protect people who want to live by themselves, while requiring a Politician to grease some wheels and get some permissions in order to assume control of an area.

Ideas? Input? Howls of laughter?

Your suggestion would causea whole lot of unnecessary code...

Simply register as a citizen, and get her voted out. Your new Mayor (you?) could then just destroy the town hall if you dont want it.

If you cant win an election against this rogue mayor, then your opinion that the town isnt wanted is obviously a minority one and you don't get your way.
