Yup, conversation a bit dead in the water until we know more about this aquatic update...
Although seeing as it's been raised.. is there anyone here who would like to see a small expansion in order to have these mansions? (Personally I would be happy to wait until the next major release. Mansions don't seem to actually bring anything 'new' other than the build itself.)
To introduce another topic:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2330This post by Lamby raised the issue of how to join an existing town if the Mayor is not active. Thought this might be an interesting topic after the council made a decision on inactive warps / caretakers last time.
This topic would seem to tie in with 'when is a player considered inactive?' - Someone asked this at last meet (sorry can't remember who) yet it was not tackled. Out of curiosity, how long is it before a player is shown as "X has not been on recently." when using !lastseen?
I shouldn't raise problems without solutions, so maybe to assist with town management, we could introduce a new forum [or subforum under general discourse] dedicated to giving mayors a thread for each town? Perhaps player created towns should display their rules on the Zedwiki?
