v0.31 Talk:Mayor
Am I Seeing Double?
Apparently, there seem to be two mayors in my fortress. The only one on the nobles screen is the newest, who has started making mandates out of the blue while the other is still a mayor and in their estate. The two aren't married. Is this some sort of new feature or just another bothersome glitch?

Appointed yet replacable
I keep getting new mayors elected as usual but find i can use the nobles screen to replace them with whomever i want as if they where appointable. --MLegion 18:29, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Why elected?
Not that I'm complaining, but after a Great consolor who knows nobody came she became mayor immidiately -- anybody understand the election process?
- The process isn't so much an election as the game chooses the mayor based on the sum of the skill levels a dwarf has that is related to mayoral tasks. All things being equal, a dwarf with more friends would get chosen over one with less. So it's sort of a meritocracy, at least that's how I understand it.169.231.8.134
