I am mainly concerned that I am going to end up evicted from my properties in a misguided "complete SIM revamp" and reparceling along the lines of what was proposed by Tor awhile ago (if I recall it was evicting everyone from LA, and reparceling, with the best lots going to longer time residents, who also happened to be his strongest political supporters). Can you assure me and other residents that you will not be evicting residents currently renting if you were to win the election?
Bromo, you seem to swing from sincerely wanting to see the general tone of things here improve, over to throwing gasoline onto the fire.
Evict everyone from LA and give the best parcels to friends?? If that is truly what you 'recall' then going back and reading the whole sorry history of the LA revamp would be a good thing. From a mostly empty sim needing rejuvenation, multiple meetings, through a few people raising concerns about eminent domain, through the ever increasing rhetoric that led new residents of LA to believe they were to be mistreated (not surprising this was during campaign time), to the current state of mistrust and general political manuevering. I would hope after doing so that you would realize you owe Tor an apology.
If your recollection has been assisted by someone telling you this is what happened, I would say you have been misled.
These frequent attacks on the work Tor did as Chancellor, not just by you but by others as well, at a time when those same people are decrying the way they feel Bagheera has been treated -it resembles the pot and kettle.
Did Tor do everything right? Of course not. Neither has Bagheera, nor any other chancellor before or to come, most likely. If people truly want to see a gentler tone to life in CDS and on these forums, it can start with voicing concerns something like this:
' I am worried I might lose my parcel - would the candidates for Chancellor please identify the changes they intend to make to the current plans for LA, if any?'
No knives involved, just a request for information that doesn't involve trashing someone in the process - assuming of course that the desire IS for information.
