Bring Back Vote Demote! (for Mayors at least)

[Waltz]

The title says it all, really! I can understand why it may have been removed-- I've seen people vote demote for complete BS reasons, but that's what !stopvote is for on the Moderation side of things. In my opinion, it makes a lot of RP sense to be able to "impeach" a mayor, and it prevents situations where a full PD has full reign of the entire server while the Mayor stays secluded in the PD, untouchable by Hitmen. Of course they would have to be demoted for a valid in-RP reason, but I think it makes RP sense, isn't too easily abusable, and would make the quality of life for non-PD a lot better.

just kill them

Wish it were that easy, but as I said, that becomes near-impossible when there's many PD members and the Mayor spends the entire time locked in the back of the police department. Last night, this happened, and the Mayor stayed alive for literal hours while having laws like "No gun licenses", "No bail", "all guns are illegal", and "random weapon checks are illegal". Nobody could get close enough to PD to even see the guy, nevermind kill him. The Mayor eventually got bored-- after like three hours-- and walked around outside, but he had full armor and was always accompanied by two Juggernauts and several SWAT members and thus was still nearly untouchable. He was never even killed as far as I know, just got bored and switched jobs after like five hours, during which time if you had a gun anywhere near the downtown area you were immediately arrested.

I know that Votedemote can be abused, but I think in the longrun not having it causes a lot less fun overall for the people who aren't cops. It got to the point that one member of the police was begging people to commit crimes but nobody was, because there was no point since there were so many cops that getting away with it would be impossible and the mayor was untouchable.

could have done a pd raid and killed me when i was mayor for 4 hours, it was my choice as mayor to run it like a dictatorship, demote will just be abused like it was last time. i believe the 4 hours i was mayor there were probably only about 5 pd raids.

[Waltz]

Getting demoted as mayor, if I remember correctly, requires you to be killed by a Hitman. Even if a Hitman raid-assisted a PD raid, going by that night's players, they'd be up against the Mayor, two juggernauts, two SWATs, a couple of cops, and three Batmen. And the Hitman would have to be the one who gets the finishing blow on the Mayor. It's not impossible, but it's simply not attainable consistently, so there's no decent check against tyrannical mayors.

Sounds like hitmen need to GIT GOOD
