Being the mayor

[Buster Bunny]

In New Leaf we finally got the chance of playing the role of a mayor since we could not really count in Tortimer and his never ending mandate.

Politics in real life aren't really fun since it have a lot of corrupted people while in the game we can do things right and in our own.

But, our villagers are a bunch of looneys for thinking the first human to step out from the Train Station is their new mayor.

So, we play along, despite the fact there is no real election and also no duration of our mandate.

I just went to vote for mayor today and one of the candidates (the current mayor) is know for being xenophobic and racist, so I could only count with the other candidate.

I recall that my father was rejected in the company which the current mayor owned, because according to that racist he was "black".

My father is pretty much caucasian.

In game we don't have the usual issues which we can see in real life like corruption and violence.
Frankly, I'd wish to have the ability to be the mayor being in the next game.

Me too and I doubt they'll throw it away.

they might make it like a mayor but mix it up with a new role? maybe you'd be secretary or a traveller or something

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.

However, in New Leaf I'd like to imagine the villagers did vote for a mayor, but on description or something c: then, when you came out of the train station, they thought the actual mayor was coming but it was actually you!

That's pretty horrific to know there's still some people who are so open about their 'opinions', if they can be called that.

Anyway, I hope we stick with being the mayor, but would also kind of like to try out a different role alongside it...maybe running our own shop or something?

I think that regular players (not the mayor, of course) could get the chance to fill jobs for themselves.
Not sure how would work, though.
