Flaws with the elections

It was only because elections, relax guys

+ Sunday

Check server monitor services, every thursday peaks at 60-75 while normal weekdays are 40 max.

Do you guys have any idea how long 3 months is? I honestly dont think so.

This voting took place in 7 days and it felt like forever. If the mayor is really dedicated, he/she can do sufficiently finish his plans in under 3 months. Be aware, this is just a game, so you can do a lot of stuff in a minimum time frame.

[Cofiliano]

It's really easy to talk like this about groups, but in reality the case is that most people have more shit to attend to in their lifes than just Argonath, which is why 90 percent of the groups in general don't last longer than 6 months, or at least cannot maintain their activity for such a period.

We need to have this element of continuous political strive, because this will show who is really dedicated to their political role and who isn't

As I said before, it won't be any different for the server in general than if it were, say, 6 months of mayorship. I know it may be pleasant to have monopoly for longer but you have to look at this from a neutral and logical perspective. Any more than 3 or 4 months will cause us to almost certainly create inactive mayors.

I am looking this from a neutral and more logical perspective. I don't want our server to turn into a Argonath Politics Roleplay Server. I don't want people to be spammed with ads, SMS, pressured on who to vote. I do not wanna see people nor myself constantly irritated and annoyed by politicians spamming all day long, an destroy our usual playing, for the sake of their roleplay. I don't want to constantly watch friends arguing over /p, and constantly having Community devided. I don't want to see people having to go inactive because they are fed up with all that shit. And for what? Because few people who lost the previous elections, and are power hungry can't deal with that and be just a little more patient, for their own selfish reasons?  Screw that.

6 months is the minimum of the minimum, for this not to lose its purpose, and becomes a circus. If any other organization can't last that long, then they shouldn't be running for Mayor at all. We all have a rich real life, so that's not really an excuse.

And about your remark, I got no monopoly, because every Mayor candidate of SLP, comes from a completely independent organizations, and none of those organizations would let anyone else tell them what to do, in their own city.  Our side was  more of a coalition party, then a unified party, I think everyone's aware of that.

6 months seems honestly too long, but 3 months may as well be slightly short for the Mayor to do what he needs to do. I would suggest either 4 or 5 month. With 3 or less elections per year it may not seem like a political RP server and 4 months is also long enough for a Mayor to complete his goals for his term. 6 months is for Argonath, unnecessarily long IMO. 4 months is the middle point between a too long mayor term or a too short one.

[Mikal]

I think 3 months is good TBH.

[Dennis.]

Yes 3 months are not bad, too.

[Kostas]

Guys three months are good. It's frequent enough to keep it alive. About ads and shit. Parties should work on their campaign pretty often. Just like cops are cops every day, just like drug dealers are drug dealers everyday, politicians will be politicians everyday. What is wrong with that? It's up to each person to decide how much time he is willing to invest, same way with every profession.

[Salmonella]

The only reason some people got annoyed by the /ads was because there was a war going on in /ad. I don't believe this would be the case when we're just minding our own business as parties. In fact, I don't think more than perhaps a dozen /ads in those 3 months will happen in total until those last days. Extending the duration of the term doesn't in any way fix this.

Also, Cofiliano, I thought you said this wasn't about either party's interest. Then why do you keep bringing it up? If anything, it's in your interest because like you said, at the moment you have 3 more votes.

I got no monopoly, because every Mayor candidate of SLP, comes from a completely independent organizations, and none of those organizations would let anyone else tell them what to do, in their own city.  Our side was  more of a coalition party, then a unified party, I think everyone's aware of that.

I love the bot spam on "3months" you've just did. Don't you guys know that the campaign is over? Give it a rest, no one's buying that.

@Salmonella, you wrote a reply and you didn't say anything in it. You didn't made an argument
nor does your reply has any sense, nor point made. Can't you at least try harder?

[Dennis.]

1,000,000$ every 3 months btw?

[Bruce.]

1,000,000$ every 3 months btw?

Sopranos made 13m in one month man... cmon... If you work hard you get can 2m in 3 months and not 1

Exactly, politicians IRL never stop campaigning and they always take jabs at rival parties.

To be honest Cofi, to me you seem a bit worried about something, what is it? You wan't to ensure Antonio stays SF mayor forever?
Time change, people change, I don't personally give a shite about San Fierro, I understand Gvardia does, but there's no need to try and ruin/stop other peoples fun.

Soprano did. But, what about others?

Then I suggest you re-read all my post in this topic, starting from the first one. Because everything you wrote is really opposite.
