The system we have now is working fine. Why fix something thats not broken?

 

Just some questions.

Does this mean someone gets mayor when they fill out an app and get a shovel... without marking their town first?
Can the shovel be traded or given to someone else? What happens then?
What of the town they wanted to make was close to antoher town and they got that person's permission?

 

just to clear something up. Gameadmins don't fly out to go set a town, they have /tppos. Which would send them to the cords set in your town app.

I also dont know how i feel about this suggestion. It would be nice to automatically get our towns, but then again mistakes can happen quite often. Plus i feel it would be better for the server if it was applications. If it was applications it would have proof on the forums of the owner allowing the town to be placed next to another town.

-1/+1 i haven't decided yet.

I just don't get it. Sorry.

Right now, it is so much simpler and safer than what you are suggesting. I don't see a reason to change it.

 

Would this somehow log to the forums? Or would rank applications just resemble the resident and tycoon+ applications? What if their inventory is full? How would the system know what size town you want?

In my opinion the system we have now is fine. This may save time over the current system, but the current system is simple, and proven to work.

If this plugin were to stop working for some reason, it would be very very bad as ranks and towns are central to the concept of ECC.

Let's not go with some new thing when we have a simple method that is proven to work.

 

But applications aren't done instantly - it could be a few hours (and technically up to 7 days) before it would be done, is someone supposed to make sure their inventory is never full until that happens.

 

-1 this is useless

 

This would cause more trouble than what its worth. The current system is 100% fine, and reliable.

It is a whole new plugin by itself, also it doesn't claim from Y :0 - 256 Unless you right click it from there to the top, a minimum of 100 x 100 and maximum of 200 x 200 would mean that they have to set the minimum blocks, a player could easily abuse this by claiming 4 different 50 x 50 areas, furthermore the current system is fine.

 

I would like a link to this plugin please.

 

-1 Does not need changing/improving, seems pointless. But thanks for offering the idea to ECC!!

 

World Guard is the plugin used to protect towns, not to create them the ought a second party. The forums and in game play or completely different and need to be done manually.

A couple questions here.

One, does this mean the system would have to count how many towns you've made previously so you get charged the right amount? i.e.: Not every town is 85k. How would this work for the players who have already purchased towns? How would, lets say I, get charged the 480k I need to be for town 7 instead of 85k for my next town.

Next, does this mean anyone could make a golden shovel and make a town for 85k or whatever amount?

Also, are you going to input the information on the application afterwards so we know the town name/location/world. We need that information for when you do other apps so we can see who the original owner is.

Also, does this mean the GA's need to update you on the forum after you've been promoted in game?

Does this system account for the fact that you CAN have towns next to each other within a certain amount of space? How are we suppose to make sure the towns were approved using this system?


Finally, just to clear a few things up:

First of all vengeful is correct we have a command to go directly to the cords. Secondly, it takes something like 5 minutes to do an app tops. If you get good at it, like Andrew, it takes 1 minute.

I feel like there are a lot of variables that need to be considered before going forward with an idea like this.

 

After reading, it seems like no a very god idea, Revan has pointed out some great points.
