A Human Imperative

By Isaac the Robot

The collection of beings known as "Bartertown" will self destruct in 500 years. I, Isaac, have confered with my brotherhood of Servos and calculated this to be a fact. Under the current rule of Mayor Ng, also known as Mad Max, also known as The Creator, life in Bartertown will implode upon iteself.

Already, we have seen evidence of this anomoly. In 1915 Tornado Katrina, the first natural disaster recorded by residents, struck Bartertown. Since then, approximately every 20 years after, other natural disasters have plagued Bartertown. In 1937, it was a flood, in 1959 it was an earthquake. In 1974, the tanker ship, Plexxon Baldez, ran ashore spilling oil all over the northern residential coastline. While most of these disasters have been minor, the earthquake of 2023 was a major disaster that destroyed much of the city. Many humans lost their lives, and we, the Servos of Bartertown were asked to help rescue and then rebuild.

Since I am compelled by the first law to protect humans, I must take this step and become Mayor. Only then can the destruction be averted. To not become Mayor would be in conflict with this law and my internal programming. All Servos have the basic right to fullfill their programming.

Ng calls Gates Insensative

Responding to nearby Microcity's recent uproar over Steve Gates' comments about "Petri Dishes", Mayor Ng publicly criticized Gates' insensativity to minorities and other SimCitizens of diverse backgrounds.

"Although Gates says he's in touch with the common Sim, he's obviously incredibly mistaken. On behalf of all the residents of Microcity as well as Sims of Petri descent everywhere, I demand that he make a public apology."

Ng has also stated that Gates' recent negative media campaign are just "a showy attempt to sway voters from the real issues." However despite his criticism of Gates' experience in political leadership, the Mayor has yet to comment on exactly what those issues are.

Third Party Candidate, Isaac the Robot, issued another complaint that his views and platform are being ignored in mainstream media.
