Suggestion Getting more info on Towns

[WitchOnaRampage]

The ingame commands don't tell you much about towns:

• /town info [town name] only tells you the town's level and number of citizens. It would be helpful to also know: Mayor, SiC, list of members (more accurate than town threads, and covers members who aren't currently ingame, unlike /town who [player name]).

• /town list only shows chartered towns - there's no command (that I know of) that shows towns that have actually paid to claim their land to become "official" towns.

Also, some /town list towns have no current town thread so atm there's no straightforward way of finding out who owns/runs them and whether they are actually claimed towns. This applies to:

Cesko
Disneyland
Genesis
Sanctuary
Thornhollow.

Can we please have:

• commands that tell us more about towns ingame (leaders, members, status as claimed or charter), and
• a requirement that towns maintain a forum thread?

I agree that all towns should have a forum thread. As for the towns listed, I don't know any of them except Thornhollow. Thornhollow is the Tree Creeper town lead by c12095.

Definitely need one post per town.

I think the town forum requirements should be allowed to be minimal, so if people want all they need put down is the player list, with the leadership. Perhaps coordinates, but those arent hard to find even if they wont tell.

Towns that want to recruit, can.
Towns that want only certain caliber players to be able to learn about them, can.
And we will have a clear number of towns for town cap, and for noobs to size up the community on the forums.

HeroTowns is the automation of townships so admins/mods don't have to step in and a player can effectively moderate their town from creation to destruction by themselves.
We won't be requiring a forum thread or much out of game. For the annals of history it would be nice that someone did but defeats the purpose of HeroTowns automation.

Towns are public institutions and it seems appropriate that key information be publically available ingame:

• Mayor
• Members
• Whether the town has claimed or is just at the charter stage.

Can /town info be set up to provide this information, please ?

It would be really nice to know this information...
Atm the only thing you can see is how many members it is...
You could always check the leadership whit /region info "townname" but since the towns are no longer using worldguard would this really be useful.

As for the township thread...
Maybe if people absolute don't want to make a town thread, maybe have some sort of list on the forum that is covering all the towns, leaders, members and so on...

This would really be handy for town mayors/sics/mannagers, so we know if the people applying is applying for other towns or already is accepted for other towns.
