| A handful of new features and the like have been added... but I admit that nothing huge has been done yet. That's soon to change. |

You wait until a month before re-election to make any "big changes," Jared? Politician in action, if you ask me...nothing like trying to hook the crowd by giving them something just before they head out to vote.  |

But is it Mayorial or Administrative?
I am thinking it is the latter.....
And if it is what you have clued me in on, it is the latter.
Vote for Hawkeye for Mayor of Odyssey! |

Why now? Two reasons:
1. It's something I've been trying to do for a while but had trouble getting to work. And I've finally got it working.
2. It's summer now and I actually have the time to devote hours daily to the project.
Mayoral or Administrative?
If you define mayoral as simply visiting "Town of Odyssey" shops and promoting 15% off virtual produce sales, then yes, it's administrative. |

| In that case...just as an inquiry, how can an ordinary Town Hall poster win the Mayoral election and accomplish anything significant without administrative privledges? |

Promises of what he/she would do, perhaps? The same question could be asked of real political races: how can a person win the presidency if not already president?
By telling the people what he/she would do that the current president has not, by offering an alternative, a different stance on the issues, a different skill set, a different personality, a different or larger set of goals... |

| It can't be too hard then...you admitted yourself that you've not done much as mayor. One won't have to promise much. |

There is a significant difference. Certainly any candidate is free to offer his or her ideas on how the situation should be improved, however, will they be able to fufill these goals without the privledges that accompany administratorship? No...
And to use your analogy, the presidential candidate is in the same position, however, once again, assuming they win this hypothetical election, they would be granted the authority that accompanies the presidency.
In the mayoral election we face a similar situation, except for the ever present issue that the individual who wins these elections, (assuming they are someone other then yourself), will no doubt result in being somewhat ineffective for the simple reason that they have not been granted the same privleges, and therefore cannot instill the same level of change.

Once again, how can a candidate even begin to make such promises? As no matter how good they are, or how ambitious thier goals...they simply cannot be as effective as the alternatives offered by one who carries with them the authority to enact what they envision.
But once again I say nothing; these are simply ideas and/or inquiries that arose in the course of examining the issue...  |
