Line 9:
The incumbent Mayor at the time, ProgrammerDan, was initially ambivalent toward becoming Lord Mayor. Though he abstained from the initial vote, when it ultimately passed, he accepted the responsibilities and reiterated his commitment to upholding the law and civil rights of all Augustans. He also began his term by committing to regional cooperation and recognising the territories of newly founded nations in the area.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/comments/2juo36/a_word_with_fuhrer_king_bradley/</ref>Originally running on a simple platform of consolidating the criminal code and streamlining the judicial process, Dan became a popular Lord Mayor by continuing the status quo and keeping MtA at peace while the city expanded its borders and grew to have the biggest population on the server.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/comments/2vkpok/serious_lets_breath_some_life_back_into_this_city/</ref>Perhaps his most well known act as Lord Mayor was the [[Gensokyo-Augusta Treaty of Friendship|Augusta-Gensokyo Treaty of Friendship]], recognising the previously hostile city of New Detroit that bordered MtA to the east, ending tensions between the two and ensuring open borders across the entire region. To strengthen the sovereignty of the new liberal autocracy, Dan was also the first to appoint both a cartographer and diplomat simultaneously.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/comments/2n9umd/appointment_cartographer/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/comments/31wlum/serious_appointment_of_diplomat/</ref>
Despite the popularity of Dan's peacetime status quo, factionalism brewed in the city, fueled by those with expansionist ambitions and those who wanted to continue the current peace. The former, referred to as the Meme Team or Meme Brigade, was headed by Prof_TANSTAAFL and GTAIVIsBest, with the latter being lead by meunier_, AMBeaudy, and ProgrammerDan himself. Previously, both these factions worked together at their joint XP farm named Atolia, but personal disagreements led to their split and the creation of the factions in the first place. The Meme Team founded their own XP farm, Pemberly, in [[Grundeswald|Grundeswegian]] territory, while meunier and her friends largely stayed in MtA and neighboring [[New Danzilona]]. The Meme Team also aligned closely with the controversial group Nox, which would go on to start the last serverwide war and mass imprisonment of civilians, on the basis of their mutual ambition of XP production. Many Noxians would become citizens of MtA during this time, increasing tensions between the two factions. The city as a whole was largely unaffected by this factional conflict until Dan announced his resignation as Lord Mayor on June 22, 2015, triggering the election to be held on June 30.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/comments/3aosdg/serious_in_honor_of_my_cake_day/</ref>
