Politician Archive

If I am the current mayor and have already 15 votes, and a new politician registers to vote and I want that person to become the next mayor of the city. If I surrender the politician class will the politician that is running for mayor get my 15 votes?

The issue we have is that I was only one available to log in once the patch went live and the "planned" politician still needed some mroe AP exp. Now that he's politician we want him to take over but somehow ppl werent paing attention to the emails I sent out and voted for me instead of the "planned politician". I don;t want to be mayor next week so If I surrender the class will the new politician get my votes?

If i surrender the politician class now will we loose our city?

anyone have any info on this?

If i surrender the politician class before the new mayor is voted into office will he get my votes and will the city hall still stay placed?

bump

an answer please? anyone know?

I dont think anyone has had the opportunity to test this... there were not very many player cities on test and this is a pretty rare ciscumstance. I dont know what the mayor would do to actually "resign" his post, and to be honest if I were you I would be worried about the city hall explosing if you just up and drop the class alltogether.

I would just work hard with your citizens to make sure that everyone votes and that they all vote for the replacement

Explosing? Errr I meant exploding... dont mind me.... long day at the office

The easiest way to switch the mayors over is to make sure that next week, the other guy runs, and everyone votes for him, after that you'll be out of office, can get rid of the skill, and no-one will need to 'manually' vote again.

I wouldn't recommend surrendering your politician skill, it might have a similar side effect to a guild leader removing themselves from the guild. It could cause problems with the city hall, the city status etc. Just do an orderly transfer of power.

Yes don't take the chance it WILL screw something up. We have same situation with me. What we did was get everyone to simply manually vote for me for xp and to win. So when I am elected, no one needs manually vote. And then the person who set Hall up can surrender politcian and it's safe then. So wait until election takes place it's a few days away.

thanks guys.... It appears so far everyone has changed their vote so its all good now, just need to wait till the voting goes through.
