We do not use towny, and you can currently do this with co owners

 

Sounds complicated for no good reason. Although it sounds cool, in reality it's just another rank people need to know. It's very complicated for a new player. The current ranking system is pretty much linear, it's simple and easy to understand. Making it non-linear would just make it difficult for people.

EDIT: I was wrong. See tanstaafl's post below.

 

This idea makes no sense.

 

What? No

 

I really don't understand this suggestion.

 

I may be wrong and may not understand due to the way this was suggested, however, the concept behind this suggestion is very sound. Using terms here on ECC it would be awesome if World Guard would add Mayor (as an example or co-owner) in addition to the Owner and Member Titles. Owners would be the person that is listed as the legal owner per ECC Rules. The Mayor (or co-owner) would be someone who would not have the right to remove the owner, but could add and remove or members.
The only slight change would have to be some clarification regarding ownership for the town claim system that both the Owner and Mayors (or co-owners) would need to be inactive.
I hope my interpretation is correct and that this suggestion would be carefully considered.

 

Yo dudes, this suggestion is really amazing. Y'all just don't understand it I think.

You know how a Resident cannot use "addowner" or "removeowner"? Well, this is like that. If you have a person(s) that you want to help run your town, but you don't want them to be able to add or remove owners, you give them this position.

It would be like this:

Members: have build/destroy rights in the town. Cannot add others to town.
Chancellors: Member abilities + can add/remove members of the town.
Owners: Chacellor abilities + can add/remove owners of the town.

It is not a new "rank", but a new position within the town hierarchy.

 

That makes more sense. I support that.

 

Hmm, neat idea. Would be a nice thing for town running. I however hope it is not a chat [Rank]

 

It should just be a town rank/position, like between Member and Owner

 

oh.

 

Yes, exactly what I tried to say and what I believe op was trying to say as well :p

 

I re-read yours and yes, you're right. It was confusing because you called the position 'mayor' when the person might not be that actual rank.

 

You are perfectly correct - my terminology was terrible and your post cleared it up - now if we can just get the devs to do this :p

 

I think this could work, but the term "chancellor" emasculates the title of "mayor". How about a more definitive term like "landlord" in lieu of "chancellor"?

 

+77 I like this idea, it would also keep the co-mayors from removing the owners of the town.....been scammed of a town by that.
