City Voting Rules Update
* The system for electing a new mayor has changed. Voting is now held every 3 weeks. City maintenance still occurs every week. A citizen who registers to run may now unregister from the vote terminal. The mayor may unregister as well. Changes to the voting roster are only allowed during the first two weeks of each election cycle. The citizen with the most votes wins the election.
* You MUST explicitly cast a vote in order to be counted. Abstentions no longer count as votes for the incumbent.
* Experience point grants for winning votes have been tripled. The incumbent mayor also receives a weekly 750 point experience bonus.
Voting System Fixes / Changes
* Voting will change to take place every 3 weeks. City maintenance will be unaffected.
* Candidates, including the incumbent, will be able to opt out of the election at the city voting terminal. Everyone gets an email when this happens.
* You may register to run in the race during the first 2 weeks of the election. Everyone gets an email when someone registers. In order to block email spam abuse, players will only be able to register/unregister once in a 24 hour period.
* Votes that are not actively cast for a candidate will no longer be counted.
* The mayor will be elected by the majority of voters who participate.
* Politician XP for receiving votes will be tripled.
* The sitting mayor will receive a weekly Politician XP bonus of 750 points. This will allow mayors to advance if their citizens are apathetic about voting.
* A method for sending a city version update email to all city citizens will be added. This way each citizen will receive an in-game email detailing the new changes.
Bug Fixes
* Players that are banned will no longer be able to take a shuttle to the city they are banned from.
* Commands that allowed banned players to buy tickets and travel in cities they were banned from are now fixed.
* Structures will no longer be transferable to players who are banned from the city.
