How will you become Mayor?

[XenoVII]

I am sure people have been speculating this, but here is a thread where we could focus on that. If there is a previous thread about this, please let me know.

Well, there are 2 scenarios:
Start from the beginning or Wait for a bit.
If you start form the beginning there should be a quick tutorial of what you should do and how to do it and a bit of a backstory as to why. Kapp'n can question you at the beginning like normal and say to go to the Town Hall for something important, Tortimer can give you a reason why, he will entrust the town with you, and if you need help you could go to that island home in the ocean (which could be his retirement house) and he could give you tips.
If you wait for a bit it should only be a week to a month to get accustom to everything.

I think Tortimer will have to retire and they ask all the villagers who of them wants to be mayor and they're all like noooo so they put you forward without you even saying anything

OR the same as above but you have the option to turn it down

Yeah, but that kind of ruins the point of customizing your town. For example: If you weren't mayor and you were building something, the villagers would either be confused, mad, or simply wouldn't care, but Tortimer would.

you probably get forced into being mayor, like how in the first game you get forced into being part of the happy room academy
and forced to buy a house and pay it off.

I definitely think becoming mayor should be a challenge, or it won't be fun. It would be cool to run against Tortimier, having an election and either winning or loosing, depending on how much you did for the town/citizens.

Knowing AC, you'll probably just be the mayor from the start. Like when Rover is asking you about your name and town, as your talking he'll be like "oh! you're the new mayor!" or something.

I hope the you have a "Lul whut?" response

Choices:

• Yes

• Yes, I am the mayor

There's no escaping. You're the mayor whether you like it or not.

I seriously would like it to be a challenge though. It won't be as fun if you don't have to work to become mayor.

I actually have written this in an another thread as one of my first posts, so here is my guess:
In the Developer's Roundtable it was said that the secretary is a little clumsy, so my guess is that it is her first day in town too and she confused us as being the mayor. The mayor has to make some decisions (like where to build the caf? etc.) so in her hectic she didn't notice us denying that we actually aren't the mayor. Tortimer is sleeping as always and didn't get any of that. After we did a hell of a job, Tortimer says that we are the new mayor. He says that he's too old and needed support so the secretary arrived. Tortimer retires and we can meet him sometimes in his leisure time.
Sorry, my English is not perfect... just my 2 cents here

I think that idea is very good! I wouldn't be surprised if this happens.

I should not be a challenge to be mayor. I'm sorry, but It mustn't be a challenge. Animal Crossing is suppose to be a laid back game for casual gamers. If they made it a challenge a lot of people may not be willing to take the challenge.

You are probably right... But I don't want it to be completely easy. I know some people don't want to be mayor that much, but I am really excited about it!

Thanks, Cherrypie!
I also doubt that it's gonna be a challenge, you have to be the mayor right from the start. I guess that it is going to be the new 'tutorial'....

Your grammar is better than half of the English speakers on this site. That's...sad.
I really like how this plays out, yet I stress once again that I want there to be a challenge. Simply becoming mayor wouldn't be as fun as running in an election or earning it by your work around the town and such.

Instead of starting off as mayor, you will have to rise up through the ranks to become mayor. (By doing tasks for villagers and working for Tortimer as you worked with Tom Nook in the previous games.)

I only want Bidoof's idea. It makes the most sense and just feels more nostalgic. Like playing the previous games working for Tom Nook but this time going through a whole new experience only this time it's Tortimer version.

That rumor has been on the AC:3DS wiki rumor page for quite some time. It sounds likely.

Again, as stated above;

rumor;

Sounds good to me.
