What makes a good Mayor?
Post what you think would make a good Mayor of Odyssey?
I think he/she should be very respected and kind to all forum members. He/She should have integrity and be someone of their word!

I think, that a good mayor, has to be someone that listens. Not just talks.
I mean, you could say all you want, make as many promises as you want, until your face turns blue, but if you don't listen, you aren't going to get anywhere!
I view it in ratio form: for every one promise that you make, you should have to listen to 3 ideas. Just my thoughts.

The mayor themselves don't need to be rich but have many supporters. The people need a leader that stands up for what they, the people, are calling for. This means they listen to the needs of others and respect all opinions of all people.Dr. Watson wrote:A mayor needs money, money, money too!

The mayor must not run simply for the sake of earning the status-- that's something many candidates seem to overlook. A worthy candidate runs because he sincerely believes that he would be the best one to manage the town(for its good *cough*) and to take on all the responsibilities that come with the position. Why else would a candidate run?
This is like the 5th time someone asked me to run for mayor. I seriously don't think that I have enough influence, or even the credentials for such a task. I think the role would be better suited to someone who knows the people, as because I do not. Maybe sometime in the future if it is in my destiny. For now I am going to give my support to the person that I believe would make the best mayor. I can only hope that my decision carries through and that others within this board are aware of how important this first election reallly is. Please people think carefully before you make your vote, do whats is best for everyone and for the future longevity of this new home of ours. And thank you all who think that I would be good for the job. I am flattered.Eagle Eye wrote:Fenix for mayor

For me, a good mayor is someone who will represent the people of the ToO. As such, he or she should most definitely be someone the people will trust and respect. Someone who will listen to the suggestions of others and even try to incoporate those ideas into ways that would benefit the town. A good mayor must be willing to sacrifice his or her own time and money for the betterment of the citizens of the ToO.
Obviously, the mayor will need many supporters, but that does not necessarily suggest a good mayor. Many times, the majority is not always right. There was a time when people considered the earth to be at the center of the universe. Sometimes those who may not have a huge crowd of followers deserve to be heard . . .
