The other duties of a mayor are separated into four broad categories; mediation, population management, treasury, and record-keeping.
As a ''mediator'', the mayor has the power to act as an official third party (who may or may not be impartial), generally for the purpose of conflict resolution between residents, overseeing deals and contracts, resolution of grievances, and all manners of agreements and disagreements.
As a ''population manager'', the mayor can essentially decide who is allowed to become a permanent resident of their community (migration rules), as well as assign addresses to residents, and emplacements to shop owners and facility managers. They also have the discretionary power to evict anyone for any reason.
As a ''record-keeper'', the mayor has full discretionary powers on keeping records, archives, and other pieces of information about the town, contributing to the recording of its history.
Mayors can also have the ability to appoint certain citizens as ''mayoral delegates'', usually for the purpose of delegating the mediation, population management, treasury , and record-keeping duties to other people, so that under the mayor may focus on other roles's command and reducing their workload. It is also possible for a mayor to delegate their entire position to another person, usually for the appoint a general-purpose of keeping someone in charge of the town while they are absent. Such people are designated delegate called a ''Deputy MayorsMayor'' (or ''Deputy OverseersOverseer''). Deputies are under the mayor's direct command but with essentially the same powers and responsibilities as a mayor. This role is intended to allow the (real) mayor to keep someone running their town while they are away or busy elsewhere.
Other special duties of a mayor include the ability to pledge allegiance to another faction, renouncing some or all of their independence in exchange for the protection and influence of a given faction. Such towns are referred to as ''faction-controlled'' or ''under a faction's influence''. A lesser form, specific to the [[Maze Police]], is the option for a mayor to sign a contract with the Maze Police them and subject their town community to Standard Law. In exchange for the responsibility of upholding the Police's set of laws and rules, towns under Standard Law have the ability right to ''call the Police'' for backup against criminals and raiders, as well as let the Police process and take prisoners into their correctional facilities, freeing space in the town's local jail and thus reducing the strain on the town's resources.
