The training of a mayor

Greetings all

I am the current mayor of Chard (18/02-2007) and I wish to inform you all about the apprentice program being conducted in Chard.

I have started a program in order to train suiteble candidates into good and caring mayors.
At least I will try to teach them what is needed to make a town function.

My goal is to encourage the citizens who seeks a higher purpose in Chard and also in a way DIScourage those who think mayor chores are just for the fun of it.

The training it self is devided into small sections and with 21 days to go until the next election we have much to cover.

1. The work to do each day
2. Trade/grants
3. Politics
4. Special programs for the craftsmen.
5. What makes a mayor great

These are just some of areas we wil cover and way we do it is by open forum.

I write my experiences as mayor and we discuss new ideas which the candidates comment upon.

When all is done I will nominate the best candidate to take my position as mayor but all can run for office natually and may the best Chardian win.

(if the new mayor wishes me to join the Town Council I will be happy to obligde)

Hello Bellos, I've made it this far and am just waiting for acceptance to the town council.

Welcome Mikeblack.

I look forward to doing business with you. Im sure Hypno will have you granted acces very soon.

euhhh bellos you are the mods of the groups that have access to town hall council

Is you that need to add them

Sorry forget to tell you that one

heh now that is kindda funny

But thx anyway

Am I moderator for both forum Mayor and Town council ?

Great to try the town council!

Is this program open to citizens of other towns besides Chard?

I dont see why not ..... maybe we should really have all kinds of classes for folks.

I would be honored indeed if people would uses my little program for further use.

My thought was that when i step down from office I want a mayor who is allready somewhat familiar with the office and the work that has to be done every day to maintain a city.

I myself spent too much time on getting to know the different menus.
My program was cut short due to the lack of time and the fact I had to be abscent for 3 days
I still think it is a good idea even though only one candidate chose to run for Mayor so here I am again in the middle of an election.
I do not believe in candidate for mayor can run without opposition so Im back in the game.

Chardonnay should you feel you can use any of my words from this program fell free to adapt what you can use but please make credit due to where it belongs
Would be nice to be akknowlegde for the time I have spent on this.

Good luck in the elections, Bellos. I will start a debate soon. If you see some good topics though please pm them to me
