Discussion Post: https://perpheads.com/threads/let-the-mayor-do-more-stuff.38928/#post-287220 (has mustered a lot of discussion go check it out if you have any questions they might've already been answered there!)

Main Idea: Adding more legal things for the mayor to do such as allowing him to run a shop and craft but NOT be able to craft illicit items such as bombs but guns however while being unequipable.

Full description of the idea: The mayor should be able to do things like craft items barring Molotov’s and actual illegal stuff. They should also be allowed to get into cubs cars because when I’m mayor I find myself running out of things to do after my tax changes and my round of political campaigning. Some mayors are idiots and try to get themselves killed with 50%. So I've already basically explained what I want in the Main Idea but I feel there is a whole range of things the mayor could be doing while in office. In a small city like paralake there is not much for the mayor to do, he doesn't play a big role in keeping the community safe through policing, he doesn't really have a say in what people build where such as market stalls although I've seen this done a few times. He really should be able to do something like run a shop because it just makes sense he's not busy this is something realistically he'd do. He should also be able to ride in buddys cars and his own cars, this will allow him to actually be involved with the citizens he represents and to be with his friends which mayors do in their off time. A lot of mayors don't need SS or don't attract SS due to their non aids tax so this would also allow them to get around, SS could always follow them anyway.

Why should it be added?: I feel like the mayor is really limited in his ways to play. I think this will add a lot more for the mayor to do and enhance rp

Pros: More RP, better mayors as they'll stay for longer.

Cons: Could get mayors lowering tax and buying stuff for themselves then resigning but this is covered under the rules anyway and can already be done through courier AHEM Mr Jefferson. Also... /bc Come to Bazaar shop 5 For some awesome guns! (but hey ho they're the mayor why not let them advertise their business although this could be construed as Misconduct.

*Other additions: I feel like I've waffled... TLDR; Let mayor run shops, craft(but not equip), use own car, get in others cars, basically be a normal civ.

Not a bad idea but in my opinion if you want RP as mayor then you make it like for example buying a subs house and just allowing the citizens to go inside of it and do things like host a party or just simply invite them in the house to chill and allow for that to play through. or, host car competitions that always use to be a thing but do not see much of them anymore, or go the casino and gamble with the citizens. I do not agree with the mayor being able to drive himself around as that is not really a thing at all IRL, as president's etc are not actually allowed to drive cars due to security. Or that the mayor should be able to craft as I can see this being abused massively even though there are rules against it what if there is not an admin on how are they meant to enforce this.

Have a mechanic so they cant equip the weapons and block them from crafting bombs also mayors of small cities would do this all the time, the mayor of my closes city doesnt have special branch protection, their events might be staffed by a few beat bobbys but thats it. They can drive their own car.

It's not really weapons I am concerned about or them driving, It's the fact that the mayor may still be able to get materials and at the same time be driving around in a Mclaren P1, I agree with allowing the mayor in other peoples cars though.

@KaiH After all, it's still a town (with a higher crime rate than Somalia) and as like any mayor of a town, they often do not have a driver (matters how big that town is) and have to drive a car themselves (usually their private car).

Especially if nobody is willing to become Secret Service, the mayor should be able to drive a car themselves.

I agree with this suggestion, as long as mayors are made so that they can not equip/fire weapons, as IIRC there was a glitch with the shooting range a while back that meant mayors could have guns and it was abused a few times.

Also maybe make it so that Mayor can only use his own vehicles while there is no SS on duty or something? So that it doesn't take away from SS' job which can also be very boring a lot of the time.
