    Thread Title:
    New Town Flag Idea
    Minecraft Name:
    TwistedEssence
    Suggestion:
    Myself and @skymaster200 believe it would be a good idea to a add a town flag allowing moderate tnt use to help the process of clearing out underground areas for town vaults and farms. it would make things alot simpler for users who do not have eff7s to take on bigger projects in their town without it taking a long time to complete. The flag would enable Tnt use for the owner of the town along with other Co-Owners that the owner chooses to give permission to, to use tnt. this would also allow tnt to be sold in shops in the market and only used in towns with the TNT Flag.
    Reason:
    It would allow a new item Able to be sold at the market along with a faster and easier way to clear out areas in your town with controlled TNT Mining
    Other Information:
    No other information
    Link to this plugin:
    none

    Hm...not sure whether WorldGuard allows the use of certain blocks only for owners and not for members. SO I assume all in that town would receive the ability to place TNT.
    As well, this could be used to place land mines as player traps in a town. Dangerous if an innocent player steps on it and hard to screenshot in order to report for attempted killing in a no-pvp area.

    I mean those abusing the flag on purpose to create player traps, gambling that most people wouldn't have the time to take a screenshot after activating the mine.

    rules can be put in place similar to pvp zoned areas. u cant tp people in without telling them. you have to put up warning signs. and so on. the "landmines" can fall under the same rule breaking as sending a tp to a person to bring them into a pvp zone..
    +1 to this idea. it opens the market to another block to be bought and sold by players, and adds a vanilla game function back into the game. not sure it would be possible to implement though.

    +1.
    If it is a separate rule, the only problem is lag. But hopefully that is fixable

    It would eliminate (or heavily reduce) employment for those that do land clearance by reducing the time for something that SHOULD take a long time.
    Would take a bit of programming (I'm guessing) to make another Town Flag category.

    +1
    However, as said above, it would open up other marketing possibilities.


    Maybe more of a temporary building permit thing? Apply for the flag that automatically ends after a set time? Otherwise you'd either have anyone part of the town using TNT on buildings (I believe TNT was removed to prevent griefing) or having to apply to have the flag removed once you were finished using it.

    I have mixed opinions with this.

    -1
    Potentially adding a bunch more lag to the server. Imagine chaining up a line of tnt down the center of your 200x200 town all the way down to bedrock in attempt to clear it. There'd be quite a bit of lag caused by just that one user. Better yet, image a set of users attempting to do this at similar times. Oh the lag.

    +1
    It adds a completely new block to the market. Potentially makes sand have a value. Creates another way for users to efficiently clear their town.

    All in all, we have enough lag issues at the moment. Perhaps if we could find a fix for our current issues, we could consider this.

    +1 I currently need TNT for a project in my town and even if I had eff7 it wouldn't cut it because I need to make a huge natural looking cave.
    I also think that it would be useful for demo jobs and lets be honest- EXPLOSIONS ARE FUN!
    That is my opinion, now its time for staff to not implement this and to leave the suggestion to die.

    -+1 This is a bit of a strange suggestion imo.
    It would allow for this block to be sold more in the market but also brings a lot of risks.
