I don't like this because it's not automated, however let me do some brainstorming and see if I can automate something similar.

Thanks for still always thinking of us N6! I thought I smelled wood burning and was going to call 911, but then saw where andrew is having to think :p

 

I'd also like some input from the @STAFF-03 Game Admin + team, as they are the one's who do these applications.
Would this confuse you application process? Are you willing to do this extra step? Etc.
Please discuss.

 

As N6 had stated, it wouldn't be too hard to incorporate this change.

Another possible method of keeping track of town histories could be by making a separate forum section for just town histories. One thread per town, edited only by staff but viewable by others. All in all, this is very possible to do.

 

I like this idea, however, the other idea is a good idea too :)

 

@STAFF-03 Game Admin team please respond here.

 

+1

 

I wouldn't mind the extra work, it wouldn't take much, so long as the original town app is linked in say the warp app or whatever feature they're applying for. Then if we need the information it's all organised in one place.

 

A separate forum sounds like a bit more work, however just responding to the town threads wouldn't be too bad in my opinion. Going to wait on some more staff opinions before making a decision.

 

Yeah but LWCs are actually far harder than town applications! :v

In all seriousness though, linking an application or LWC would probably be literally the easiest part of doing an application, especially when the applicant is literally required to link the original app. But I'd nonetheless add that if we really want to add LWCs to the applications, more importantly we ought to look at adding town contract history which is often far more useful than LWC history - Especially if we're going down the route of perhaps making town renaming feasible in the future.

 

+1 for public/town records

 

I think it is so awesome that we have staff that is willing to go the extra mile to provide a great environment for us!
Keep in mind that all of these great folks are volunteering their personal time to take care of us.

 

I have unfortunately decided against this suggestion for several reasons.
We will not be asking staff to link certain threads to other threads.

This is prone to human error, and future complaints related to a town thread missing history etc, as excuses for certain scenarios is gauranteed to arise.
If town history ever happens, it will need to be fully brainstormed and done in an automated way within the code.
