| Message | Mayors cause absolutism - all the power goes to one man or woman, instead of a number of representatives with opposition groups there. No. |

| Message | As long as the mayor is elected, and can be removed democratically, this is not such a problem. Besides, hung councils end up in indecision, and some areas might want to cut through the political mire to a clear position. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
