So are there any term limits?
How many Terms may one Mayor have?
Does the Mayor serve from Feb 10th-March 10th?
What strengths are we actually going to allow the Mayor? (Hopefully realistic!!)
Will The mayor have control of a government org?

Following up on all of this:

1st and 2nd Question - Define term limits. Is that a rewording of your second question pertaining to how many terms are allowed per Mayor? I'm thinking Mayor's are allowed to serve unlimited terms, but not back-to-back unless certain circumstances permit so (like not having any replacements). This way everybody gets a chance to be Mayor if they wish, and there is little risk of the server going without having any Mayor.

3rd Question: I'm thinking yes. The Mayor should, ideally, serve from the 10th to the 10th of every month. Special circumstances may alter this.

4th Question: The Mayor will have the power to pass "in-character" type laws in the server, as I understand. Other than that, I can't say I have too much to say on this subject, yet. We have to discuss it and figure it out.

5th Question: The Mayor and his Cabinet are somewhat of a government organization. Tie it together with a judge, hopefully, as a kind of judicial branch, and some executive, like the commissioner, as Supernuker suggested, and this body of people will be a powerful entity on the server by itself.

All of it sounds good. Except, I'd like for mayors to be able to run back-to-back. But, we could do a penalty rule, like, if you run right after you were elected, you lose five votes or need like 2/3 of the votes at the end of the election to win. Something like that would balance it out I think. That way, if we have a good mayor, and the people want him bad enough to still elect him, after the penalties, then they get him.
