Towns & Nations / (Official) NOVA TA Applications
« on: 19 Sep 2012, 02:48:16 »
Thanks for looking at applying to be a TA of NOVA!
TA is short for Town Assistant, a towny feature that allows you to moderate the town.
With TA, you get access to every towny command for the town, meaning that not everybody will get TA.

Guidelines to apply to be a TA.

1. Help out in-game, and have fun. Helping others is a great way to show that you are mature enough
2. Approach me in-game. All you need to do is just tell me that you wish to be TA, and I will pay more attention to you
3. Act mature, 100% of the time. I don't want to give the impression that this town is not mature.
4. Help with town projects. Showing me that you are more than just what you say, is a good thing. Ask me for something to do.
5. Help by donating to the town. Like #4, that lets me know that you are willing to help out the town.
6. Do not act young, do NOT use giant emoticons (a simple smiley is fine), do NOT bug me about TA.
7. Apply below using this guideline.

Age(ish, can be just "old" if your name is azurega):
Why do you want TA:
How have you helped the town?

Please note, just because you apply does NOT mean that I will automatically give you TA. It is awarded, not earned.

Thanks,

Noobstown General / Extremely disappointing shop tax
« on: 20 Jun 2012, 16:52:19 »
Alright, what's going on?
After being the buyer and seller I am, I came across a very disappointing feature. Shop SELL signs charge a tax, and not a small tax, but quite large. When I saw this, I was quite confused.


If you can do basic math, you realize that the tax is 30%. 30% less than what is shown on the sign. And that wasn't just a random bug, it happens everywhere. Everywhere where there is a place to sell, you get taxed an insane amount.


Thinking about this, I do not understand why there even IS a tax. If you want to encourage buying and selling to create a healthy economy, that is one thing. But this does quite the opposite. It forces people to not sell things, and keep for themselves. When you see a sign that tells you that they buy 8 logs for 70 noobz, do you expect to only get 49? I certainly do not.

If someone can explain this to me, that would be great.

More info from the buyer's point of view.


As you can see, it charged me 80 noobz, but only gave him 56. Why? If you want to force player to player trading, at least TELL people that they are getting ripped off when they sell things.
