As soon as my seizure subsides, I might try to read that.

What changes are you wanting? Politician doesn't cost any skill points to get? just votes. Were you looking for maybe Bribes?
Hotels have Event promoters, which costs money, but something to spice up towns or events... Please, let me know.

I've been a mayor for 2 days now, but sure. I'm sure there are changes that would be VERY beneficial to politicians. But honestly I've been a merchant for long enough to develop a strong, deep-rooted cynicism. You can point out flaws and ask for changes until you're blue in the face.
The correspondant here seems to be doing an excellent job (the stickies are great, thanks). And I'm sure the correspondant reads all the messages here and organizes them well before presenting them to the devs. But at that point, they fall on deaf ears. You can post all you want here, but it's about as effective as screaming at your TV.

You mean you aren't taking them yet? Somebody wants a trainer placed, a fountain or garden near their home, a street lamp put near that dark alley... They need to grease the cogs of the political machine first!
/ooc If any of my players want something a bit "extra" beyond what the city plan calls for they pay for it. The cost is minimal. When they stop paying the item is removed from the town. Have fun with your citizens! Send out a weekly paper. It can include how the War is going, any recent events in your city or stories about other citizens.
Just have fun with it and read some of the other post on this board. There are some great ideas out there. Take what you like and ask your constituants what they like. After all, you are the voice of the people.

Especially when the amount of money we are tlaking about you can find in your couch cushions.
I have yet to meet a POOR SWG player. Unless that player has been in the game only 1 day, they have made enough credits to be able to pay for their house, its taxes, and basic supplies in their first week of gameplay for the whole year.
The thought is nice, and its good to be generous, but its misplaced. There is no reason for anyone who plays SWG to be poor enough where they cannot afford a .01% raise in city taxes to pay for a fountain.
You have 100 people in a city, you have the tax base to pay for all the necessities and really lay on the glitz too, and still no one would really miss the money it takes to pay for it. People throw more money away on swoop maintenance in a week than they pay in city taxes for a year.
