When i apply for mayor (in about a month) will i have to set up a town or can i purchase an existing town?
You have to create your own town, This means you need to mark out a 200x200 area that doesnt go into anyone elses town, mark the 4 posts with A B C & D. You can edge the whole town with something like cobble as well to make it easier for the Staff who make your town. Then get the co-ords from each corner where you placed the signs and then create a Mayor App Oh and make sure you have enough funds --- To be able to Town Claim a existing town, you need to be Tycoon Rank
He doesnt have to be 15 blocks away from someone, He will just need permission from the neighbouring town owner if he is
