Honestly, WE should be mayor. We are the ones who (with the help of the Junmo) fix the community center, get Pam a decent job, improve the local economy, constantly solve the problems of the townsfolk, and actually listen to ppl. Player 2024!!
To be fair pam DID have a job and we are the ones that fixed the bus (well the junimos but we are the reason they helped) and pam not having a house is (only kinda) her fault, could she have not gotten another job
Also built up the community passage, built Pam and Penny a house, opened an island resort for the community to relax at, cleaned up the waterways, took an interest in and improved the lives of everybody including the traumatized veteran, the wizard on the outskirts, the dwarf in the cave, the shadow person in the damn sewer, and the homeless guy living out on the mountain (hero of the marginalized). I want a 1.7 update with a biennial election for mayor starting year 3!
@@WhiteFyreLeoPam’s only real option for other employment would likely be Joja (given that it was the only place to want to hire Shane, iirc Pierre refused to employ him so I doubt he’d give Pam more grace + the museum doesn’t open up as a work option for NPCs like Sam until Joja is gone) and that wage still probably wouldn’t be enough to get her out of a mobile home and into a proper one, given how they’re portrayed
Isn't Mayor Lewis old? Concerned Ape should make a late game addition that lets our children age up, give our spouse more life and allow us to run for mayor when the mayor passes away, while allowing a couple of other NPCS to run as well.
@@meggiemills3602yeah like after year 2 lewis’s election time is up, the only problem is that i can’t picture any of the npc’s besides maybe robin and kent actually being mayors
The third board appears to be on TOP of the other two, meaning George not only has to roll across two incredibly narrow planks, he also needs to go quickly enough to have momentum to get over the bump. And it’s not like that plank really does anything to support it structurally. It’s literally just there as a f*** you to George
The fact he has a dialogue saying "people get really excited on weekends huh.... Too bad i have to do my job everyday" what does bro do he just stands besides harveys clinic and maybe even stare at Pierre's calendar
Also, the fact that the only reason that area is blocked off is because he is too lazy to mive the decorations, so he just cleans them up a bit on the day
That's so true. I mean, you can still get a small amount of friendship points from just talking to them, but that takes such a long time. Making friendships in the game takes a while, and even giving an NPC a favorite gift doesn't even boost your friendship as much as it should. You can talk to them and give them a favorite gift, and they still hate you.
Tbf, if the new farmer in town occasionally came up to me and gave me something they grew from their farm for free or something they found while foraging/mining/fishing just because they thought I'd like it, I'd probably be more inclined to have a conversation with them.
I still think the player should be able to run for mayor. You get a chunk of taxes yearly if you win. But must defend your position regularly (every 4 years?) Lewis also get a minor arch about not knowing what to do now that he’s not the mayor. Settling on a quiet life with Marnie.
Why don't they just LEAVE THE BRIDGE UP?! Get a sturdy bridge built (Robin wouldn't charge that much, right?) and leave it up, year round! But, nope, that bridge comes down at 2 pm, every time.
@@Lilith_The_Earthling i got genuinley confused as to why marnie was off the table when my friend said she wasnt married and then i found the underpants in her room... marnies still nice tho. wish mayor lewis wasnt such a dick about being with her having to keep everything under wraps
Like no wonder george is so cgrunpt all the time the town has like 20 people in it and yet mayor Lewis has done nothing to make it accessible for him; it’s a disaster!
Nah, George and his stone are a life saver for me on multiple occasions. The real threat is Kent with his explosives. What are the feds of the Ferngill Republic doing about this man??? Someone contact the valley's postmaster.
@@bryanna1489 Nah. Sending bombs is not a threat. It can help clearing out the mines. George's gift is useless. If he send you hundreds, that's fine but 35 rocks? He better hide that wheelchair before I use the rocks he sent me as a slingshot ammo.
How does Mayor Lewis get his funds? Lewis visits every business in town to collect taxes except for the farm. So the farm isn't taxed? Well, no. Everything you put in the shipping bin gets sold by Mayor Lewis. So Lewis just skims profits off of selling your goods. If you sell to the shops, Lewis just collects taxes from them. The only way Lewis doesn't collect money is if someone trades outside of the businesses and the shipping box. So the notice board is the actual "fair" price of what you're making. So really, who paid for the Gold Lewis? You did. Congratulations.
Well seeing the village state of disarray and broken infrastructure i think its not just the farmer who paid off the gold statue. He could just ask to “raise fund to better the village structure” but instead actually using it to fix it he’ll keep it for y’know
Bro fr, the player is the one whose actually helping the townspeople while Major Lewis is just sitting on the backburner, acting if he ain't the major of the town 🫤
if that was a real life wooden bridge itd fall off the cliff immediately because from what i can tell theres no support beams beneath it and the one support beam on it is OVER the two planks.
By the way, he says that no one has ran against him for his mayorship in over 20 years. Heavy godfather/african dictator vibes. In the same dialogue he says because nobody ever wanted to run against him, he likes to think that it's because he's doing a great job as a mayor. The guy simply takes out his competition. Pelican town lives in fear under him. I mean, if he was such a great mayor, why's the community center so run down (he never uses it after it's fully repaired either)? Why did he not build Pam and Penny a house? Why did he not help the struggling museum? Grandpa might've fled Pelican town because of Lewis.
@@rileym538 Well, dead or not, Grandpa wanted us to say hi to Lewis for him. If I were to really stretch what he's saying, you're basically paying the Godfather a visit as the newcomer of his town as a way of showing respect. Grandpa knows what's up, and he wants to make sure you're not being disrespectful to the Don.
Was playing yesterday, it's winter currently and it's the day before the winter festival, lewis decided I'd be the secret gifter of.... Himself! I'ma give him something stupid cheap
Ironically, a family member who used a wheelchair would come up around back at our place, and we used two boards to get him in when he visited. Now, granted, just because it was possible, does NOT mean George (who is using a hand-powered design, a choice representative of his stubbornness) would be able to make it, given he didn't have a car battery and tires with huge treads to get him up those planks
And he thinks keeping his relations with Marnie secret is necessary for the sake of keeping his job, but rather hypocritically still spends a lot of time with her in public view so them pretending they're not a couple is redundant. Gaslighting, much?
I like to think everyone else gets a bridge and Lewis leaves a couple planks for the farmer being like, "eh, they'll figure it out," like he does for all the other town repairs
This just made me realize how NOT wheelchair accessible Pelican Town is- Like George can't even go to the community center because the only way up is a staircase-
Reminds me of the story of this small miner town Vulcan in the US that actually reached out to the Soviet union because they couldn't afford the repairs to a collapsed bridge that was vital to the town
I really wish we could run for Mayor cause Lewis is fucking awful He's corrupt and leaves everything broken How the Townspeople haven't voted someone else and thrown Lewis into Prison i don't understand
Stardew Valley's future updates? Local politics (allow players to freely select which government system they prefer in Pelican town, or allow players to create their own). Also, more involvement from Joja Corp. and allow citizens of Pelican town to interfere in the affairs of their local goverment, particularly Mayor Lewis's actions, more than often. Also, allow the player and every Pelican citizen eligible of running for political office to run for political office.
He don’t fix shit I fix it. I am beloved more- I get things in the mail! He gets cursory attention from everyone but Marnie (who’s in his pants half the time)
