(Seeking City Councilmen: Apply Within!) Pacifica: Interactive City Journal

[beeman5 0]

Greetings all,

 

With the districting feature of Cities: Skylines, interactive city journals can be more interactive!

 

I am seeking city councilmen to participate in Pacifica. This topic also exists at the paradox forums so if there are councilmen on both, I will integrate across forums. Simtropolis seems to be more active city-journal wise though.

 

Details:

1. Pacifica will be an interactive city journal utilizing a mayor-council government, based loosely on the weak-mayor type except the mayor will act as city manager OOC (Out of Character). The journal will be highly roleplayed.

2. Terms for mayor & council will be a period of 4-years in-game. There are no term limits.

3. I am currently seeking 6 councilmen. In the future, additional districts may be created depending on city size. If additional people want to contest the councilman after a period of 4 years in-game, then elections will be held. The position of Mayor (and thereby City Manager) will be elected.

4. Each district cannot have more than 7000 residents/workers. Once a district obtains 7000+ residents/workers, then that district will be split and an open council seat will be created. Until the council seat is filled, the old councilman will continue to represent that district.

5. A quorum is the majority of the council. What this means is that throughout the week, the Mayor will post updates and any outstanding issues. Pacifica's council will vote and decide on the issues. The Mayor is a non-voting member, unless there is a tie. If there is no action on an issue for a period of 24 hours and the majority of councilman have acted, then that issue will be settled. The maximum time for an issue to be open will be 72 hours.

6. During the course of the city, the Mayor reserved the right to take emergency measures to save the city. Otherwise, the Mayor should save the game and bring any outstanding issues to the council.

7. I am using the vanilla version of CS (no mods).

8. We will be using the Black Hills map.

9. If a councilman is absent from 3 rounds of voting, or a period of 72 hours, then the Mayor may remove that councilman for inactivity.

 

How to Apply:

Post a picture of your councilman, the name of your district, and a little background of your character. Draw up your development plan for the city, particularly your district.

History of the City:

 

Mar 2015 - A group of citizens gathered together to create a new city: Pacifica, along the shores of the Black Hills River. It was prime real estate, but a big risk. There was no real reason to build here at all. The river was nothing special. There was not much in terms of beaches and it was easy to drive an hour or two each way to the nearest town. However, with the backing of a variety of donors, the group elected their first mayor and council.

Enzo Scalisi, Mayor

 

Enzo was born in Chicago. His parents immigrated from Sicily and made a living in real estate. Enzo was also interested in real estate, but was tired of the problems of the sprawling metropolises and living in his parents' shadow. He saw an opportunity to found his own city and that's how he found himself at Pacifica.

 

 

Holly Johnson, City Manager

 

Holly is fresh out of college, although she earned high marks in her school, graduating with honors. When she heard about a new city opening up, she jumped at the opportunity. Also, many doubters of Pacifica helped spur Mayor Scalisi to hire her.
