Mayoral Terms

[Teddy]

The amount of people divided on this is too large to ignore. We'll let the community decide. You can pick upto 2 options.

[Kostas]

Don't you think that it is a little late for this? Clearly one side is in favour of a longer term right now. I feel like this vote will feel like the original voting week, eventually. If you ask me, this term should remain to 3 months, because that's what was originally said, and what ever is decided here, could be for the second term.

[psyron]

haha its too late for this man, its evident enough. should have thought and organized a poll beforehand the elections

[Manoni]

Seriously, what shit does it needs to be thrown to keep you people happy? It's so annoying that after looking for ideas and solutions on this you all keep having this attitude, it's making me sick.

[Cofiliano]

This should have been resolved prior, but since that's not the case, democracy is the only tool we got left.

[Devin]

Generally most people don't stay active for an entire year or even months on end with life and everything else going on; 3 months was seen to be a happy medium as it's not that hard to be around for at least 3 months if you run for mayor.

People stated that 3 months is too short whilst others say it is too long; now you are given the option to change the time a term runs for and there are still complaints.
Why must there always be a never ending cycle in this place even when an option to change something is given?

Is it wrong to not want a change in this? It was made clear that there'll be no changes during the elections, I don't see how it's fair to see a change after the elections. The first "circle" had a set of rules and standards in it. Let it happen, prepare a better next circle instead. The server is pretty much divided in two parties. Each party clearly has to earn from certain outcomes of this vote.

EDIT: To Devin. Don't have a never ending circle, but let the first one finish...

Efforts are made to do this, which is to solve the flaws that it has right now. If these are not accepted then you only help yourself into a pit, then it's back to the start.
Be glad you aren't left with a broken system in the first place.

Why wasn't it brought up prior? Why did you wait until now to bring it up?

Having it every 3 months is pointless. Argonath is constantly gonna be in a campaign then, which loses the point. As soon as one campaign is over, a new one will start. Plus those other elections that are coming, we dont need politics spamming us all day everyday, and turning our playing into irritating and annoying spam of /ads, pms, SMS, and /p arguing.

Minimum once per year is more then enough. Since they're not the only elections happening anyway.

Not to mention that Mayors wont even have enough time to provide concrete results in their city. They'll have a month-two maximum, and then they'll have to again waste all their time, energy and everything else in campaigns.

That's where the inconvenience started, that's where the idea for a longer term came to life.

@eymas I do understand your point of view. Considering that the length is a flaw, though I do seriously find 3 months quite reasonable, maybe 4 if it has to, but anything less than 3 elections a year would kill this off, and actually make it pointless. If the terms get longer right now, then it is in disadvantage for AIP(one of the two parties that run in these elections), considering how chances for even a single mayor seat being handed to them are pretty low. SLP has already won 2/3rds of the elections, what makes you think that they can't end this vote in their favour? Anyway, I guess it's going to be solved like this, but don't mistake yourselves, this ain't the fair road.

Yes, very nice words from a staff member. Very nice marketing to people seeing the forums for the first time or something.

Why hasn't anyone bring this up prior, or determent it prior?

[psyron]

not a complain but my opinion on the scenario btw 

[Kostas]

Why hasn't anyone bring this up prior, or determent it prior?

What is that even supposed to mean? @Cofiliano

[Whiteman]

Don't even bother running for mayor if you ain't gonna stay active for atleast 6 months.

Clearly one side is in favour of a longer term right now.

Sorry, but both sides, as we can see from the constant moan.

[Cofiliano]

Well you asked me why haven't I bring this up prior, but no one else didn't do it as well (including you), nor was this determent by HQ, prior to election.
