Yup, it’s that time of year again.
Today I am announcing the return of the North City Mayoral Elections. This post will act as the nomination post for anyone who wants to run in the election that will be hosted next week.
Mayors of North City will be in charge of auctioning and evicting plots, helping players, and hosting events for players to enjoy!
This position is entirely voluntary, with re-elections being held every 6 months, or when a mayor steps down.
Responsibilities:
- Create forum posts for auctions, manage those auctions, and ensure that proper transactions occur
- Evict abandoned or unsightly plots in accordance to city rules
- Clear delegation of responsibilities and transfer of power after term completion
- Coordinate with other members of the Helloclan City staff team to create a fun and welcoming environment for the community
Benefits:
- Ability to host regular events, such as races, scavenger hunts, etc. with the ability to distribute and decide rewards
- Ability to host server wide events that will be announced in the events channel of the discord, such as grand openings, holiday parties, and other celebrations
- Ability to hire players to do work on the city, such as demolitions, designings, and construction jobs.
- Access to certain event areas around Helloclan
- Direct contact with the staff team to create new and exciting projects for Helloclan
The following rules have been instated for the nomination period of all Helloclan City elections:
- There is no limit to the number of nominees who can participate in a given election (AKA: this is not a 2 party system)
- Candidates must have been a player on Hellominers for at least 1 year
- Candidates are allowed to have running mates and support teams as long as there is one definitive candidate
- Anyone who has been banned within the last 6 months prior to the nomination period may not become candidates
- Admins are permitted to deny a player from becoming a candidate in a specific election due to poor behavior or previous offenses (they may also allow players who break any of the previous rules in very specific cases)
- Previous mayors will be automatically enrolled for re-election unless asked not to be
Due to the event take over of Swamp City, and his amazing work stepping in for the previous candidate who was unable to serve his role, 4K606 will be running for re-election.
To apply, simply reply to this post with you username and some general information that you would want people to know about you when voting.
The official election after the nomination period of one week (ending Sunday the 9th) will be held in game (date to be announced). Where players can go to /warp vote to make their voices heard!
Good luck to all our future applicants!
I nominate myself - ravenEdgewurth - as a candidate in these elections.
I shall get agora evicted properly, and split these into multiple plots which can actually be used by players.
I nominate myself - Thendil.
I have previously been a member of staff in separate roles a while back and have previously been mayor of HelloClan City for a significant amount of time helping to rejuvenate HC. I have also for several years tried to empower players through the congress system to drive change on the server and create RP opportunities.
The role guidelines above provide a great help as to what the responsibilities and limits of the role include, and as an active member of the server, I am willing to provide a service for the district, which I believe has unfortunately been neglected by the last mayor due to inactivity (despite very much liking him personally).
I have previously thought I was unable to apply for this position but apparently I can. I will be willing to work with staff during the time period, taking the lead from them and would just request that I be given the benefit of the doubt at the start of any administration. I will also seek to get feedback from other players regarding events and will be willing to be supportive of any projects from the dev team.
I should also confirm that I also have a stake in North City, having a Blockazon shop in one of the Agora buildings.

I have strong convictions and strong plans. As a well-known player who has been on the server for 9 years now, I have always been proud of the server. North City, in particular, is an underrated beast. This city has served as the core of mega shops in HM since the peak of the server, beginning with Owls shop and continuing with Agora.
NC needs to become a hub of transport and a greater diversity of shops need to be brought to it. If the train station that I designed is fully utilised to serve as the true hub of intercity transport that it’s size implies, bringing activity back to NC, the square can finally return to its diverse origins.
Since Agora has opened, for years NC has rotted in squalor. The efforts of previous mayors with grassroots campaigns has failed to truly bring down the stronghold of capital that Agora has established with its mega plot. I will initiate heavy revamps and reactivation of North City and implementing a variety of reforms, while using my powers as Mayor to initiate sever-wide change.
I have proven my ethic on this server - simply take a look at the world map. Since SUD’s landmark foundation almost four years ago, I have worked to create so many quality highways and railways for the Southern portion of the server. The city of Yakaze also highlights my work ethic and deep craving for high-quality cities. I love HM, and I love the people of HM. By serving as mayor of North City, I WILL further the city, further the server and further the players. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
