Official Mayor Voting Thread - May 2018

[BrandonM]

 

Citizens of Los Santos,

 

Today, it is your duty to make a decision that affects the future of your city. Today, it is your civic duty to decide who will lead your glorious city into the future, and forge a better tomorrow for Los Santos.  One candidate has officially announced their campaign and intentions to run for the office of Mayor of your fine city. Other candidates may be added to the ballot, if they agree to a set of regulations that have been written for the role and have been approved by the federal government, which can be found below. The polls will be automatically closing Saturday, 3/28/2018. Innauguration of the Mayor will occur on Sunday, April 1, 2018.

Campaigning is not permitted in this thread. Questions to and about the candidates are allowed, but please refrain from general commentary and campaign advertisements/endorsements.

Without further adieu, your candidates:

Mr. Gary 'Taint' Winthorpe

 

"What this city needs is someone with experience taking in deprived, wanting and unsuccessful people/communities and turning them into beautiful butterflies. I can think of no better man for the job than Taint. It's time. For Taint."

 

Winthorpe's Website: http://www.taint4mayor.ml/

 

 

Mr. Winthorpe is currently running unopposed.

Other candidates who post their intentions in the official campaigning thread will be added to the ballot.

 

 

 

Regulations for the Mayor position:

 

• The Mayor may not participate in any illegal activities. Any illegal activities performed by the mayor will result in the Mayor losing his office, and the city will run without a Mayor until the next election.

• The Mayor must make his or her best attempt to engage civilians at all times, in an effort to further RP.

• The Mayor should not drive his/herself around. Attempts to obtain a chauffeur should be made before driving/flying themselves.

• The Mayor must dress professionally at all times. If the event being attended is a casual affair, an attempt to look Mayoral should still be made.

• The Mayor may not attempt to push laws benefiting specific players while alienating others. All decisions must be made in the interest of the entire server, not towards a minority of players.

• The Mayor shall remain in character at all times while in the city.

• The Mayor will be required to be able to record at all times while on the server (replay buffer is acceptable.)

• All decisions of the mayor will be in request form to the federal government, whom can choose to accept or deny for any reason.

• Campaign promises are not guaranteed. If a Mayor candidate tells the voters that he/she will make sure they all have free Miniguns, just know that it’s not gonna happen.

• The Mayor can be impeached by the general population if a specific number of citizens submit a request for impeachment. These will be reviewed by the federal government to ensure fairness and eliminate collusion.

• The Mayor cannot and will not go on duty for the LSPD or LSFD during their term.

• All changes/suggestions from the Mayor to the federal government must be presented with valid reasons why it makes sense for those changes to be implemented.

• Under no circumstances can the Mayor use his position to directly benefit another player or group of players (i.e. getting one business raided by LSPD to benefit another)

• The Mayor's term will begin on the 1st of the month they have campaigned for and end on the last day of the month they campaigned for. No limit on re-elections at this time.

 

May the best man win.  Good luck, Los Santos.
