Functionally, would there need to be much difference between a
human-playing-a-god role and a human-playing-a-mayor role?  What
kind of powers would you need to give the mayor role to let it
perform the same kind of oversight function?  Do you think that
mayors being managed through citizen election would be sufficient,
or must there be direct developer involvement?
