Editing Tailspins & Tiki Gods:The Authorities (section)

==Relations:==

''vs. the Colonial Government:''

The job of Mayor of Port Cochere is possibly the Toughest Job In Show Biz, so to speak. There is typically a great deal of turnover.

It's basically a circuit-breaker: So long as things are running quietly, the Mayor is fine, although he has the issue of creatively non-noticing things while also keeping tabs on them unofficially. If, on the other hand, something major should go wrong, the mayor is basically there to take the fall for it. (He is, in essence, the 'pit boss' for the proverbial 'gambling' that the Governor would be shocked- ''shocked'' to find in his establishment.)
 
''vs the Kamekame'': The history of the island makes relations with the Kamekame, largely, a draw. The Kamekame come into town to work, then return home. The Mayoral government, largely, stays put and doesn't go into Kamekame territory without a very good reason. 

''vs the Legionnaires'': Various mayors have set different tones with the Foreign Legion outpost uphill from the Maiorie. Some called on them early and often, others encouraged them to stay put. The current mayor favors the latter, assuming that not doing so would cause fewer 'ripples'. 

''vs the Port Authority'': The Mayor himself outranks and has charge over the Port Authority. In practice, the Mayor's ''office'' and the Port Authority are often at cross-purposes. 

''vs. VIPs'': The Mayor's office keeps tabs on VIPs, even when they take no official notice of them. Socially, the Mayor himself is considered a sort of local dignitary (hosting functions and such) among the residents of Le Haut Ville. Other VIPs simply wish not to be noticed, so the Mayor's office arranges for them not to be noticed [OOC: leading to a 'just-enough' game where they have to notice them to be certain they're not being noticed. ;)].
