Any idea how to progress the school? I've corrupted the teacher to level 4 but I can't do anything anywhere else
I got stuck here my first time too! You have to get a job at the school. Not sure the exact steps, but talk to the principal. You also have to search your PC for the job listing iirc. After that, the principal will tell you that you need a sponsor and the teacher will give you a recommendation. You also have to go to the school first thing on a Monday and use a gas potion on the assembly. That will get the ball rolling. This is all from a 1-2 yr old memory, so good luck!
So is it possible to become a mayor in the current version ?
yes, it is. There seems to be bugs with it and general confusion throughout this thread. I never had an isuse though. Not talking shit, I just have no reference to help with those who are bugged.
There is really nothing to do with the mayor title, just a couple (very good) scenes. It is not like there is a new game mechanic where you work on policy or anything like that.
