=====================
New towny ranks
=====================

Tutorial on how to add ranks with new towny system.

The previous rank system had mayor, assistant and resident as ranks.

The new system has mayor, sub-mayor, assistant, plot-master, architect, recruiter and regular resident.

HOW TO USE:

To promote someone to a certain rank, type:
/town rank add <resident> <rank>

So if you wanted to turn Fatnoob into your sub-mayor, you would type:
/town rank add Fatnoob sub-mayor

To remove Fatnoob from his position, you can type:
/town rank remove Fatnoob sub-mayor

- Players can be part of multiple ranks, so you can make someone both a Architect and a Assistant.

- A regular resident is not an actual existing rank. To make someone a normal resident, simply strip him of all his ranks.


====================
What can these ranks do
====================

[Treasury Perms] [Mayor, Sub-Mayor]
– Acces to /town withdraw, town tax commands, and plot tax commands.
- Acces to /plot clear

[Law & order Perms] [Mayor, Sub-Mayor]
- Kick anyone lower than your own rank.
--------------------------[Mayor, Sub-Mayor, Assistant, Architect, Plot-Master, Recruiter]
- Invite new residents to join the town.
--------------------------[Mayor, Sub-Mayor, Assistant]
- The ability to open all doors, door signs, switches and trapdoors.

[Plot management Perms] [Mayor, Sub-Mayor, Assistant, Plot-Master]
- Acces to the /town claim, outpost, and unclaim commands.
- The ability to put plots up for sale, or change their status (set embassy, toggle fire etc.)

[Building Perms] [Mayor, Sub-Mayor, Architect]
- Ability to build in unowned town areas.
- The ability to place and break blocks anywhere in the town.


=== Mayor ===

Owner and Founder of the Town.

=== Sub-Mayor ===

Working along side the Mayor. Has access to exactly the same features as a Mayor does. (Should only be given to the most trusted residents. Friends/Family)

=== Assistant ===

One of the main ranks within a town, a step down from Mayor. This rank has the main role of claiming land, adding new members, dealing with plots, toggling different town states and has access to switches.


=== Plot-Master ===

The Plot-Master has the main role of dealing with everything plot based. The Plot-Master can deal with newcomers or residents requesting a second plot, taking some strain of the mayor's and assistant's shoulders.

=== Architect ===

The Architect has won the privilege to build on unowned town areas. This allows him to keep help keeping the town tidy, or aid and start building projects.

=== Recruiter ===

The Recruiter has the main role of adding new members to the town, this player will be helping town growth and to expand the community of the town.

Oh noes! The TA list has been reset and all the Mayors have to re-add their TAs and assign them a rank.

EDIT: Even your personal perms are re-set (like, if you disabled your friends from building/destroying on your plots)

EDIT: Please disregard and await further updates from Foob and the Admin team. Wouldn't want to spread a wrong word here

The Mayors do not get reset, just the assistants because their ranks need updating. When the mayor comes online he will simply just change the ranks of his ex-assistants back to assistant or higher. He/she can do this whilst they are offline too, its really simple and nothing to worry about. (Yes, the ex-assistants are still in the town but are just set back to resident)

I think in their case, Cliffside specifically, they're worried that now they are in a state of total limbo. Their mayor, as far as I know, was permabanned, so now no one can control day-to-day maintenance of their town since all of the TAs were reverted to residents. Their situation is likely an exception to the rule though, they need someone appointed as mayor to replace their banned mayor in order for anyone to get back a TA/town management related rank.



As far as the perms in general go though, this is an excellent new system and I'm quite glad you've implemented it! This should really help towns to grow and further themselves in new ways, and I can't wait to start using it!

Any Mayor's that have been banned or become super inactive should be reported, we can then deal with passing down the ownership of the town.

- The ability to open all doors, lift/bridge/door signs, switches and trapdoors.
This one point raises 2 questions for me.
What does the green part mean?
Does this include the ability to remove unwanted signs?

I actually love that update to the ranksystem, it's what we always wanted for our town.

Lift/bridges are used as apart of Craftbook/Failbook. This allows people to make a block lift, bridge, which is a block material which is lifted when hit by a sign.

How do we do this while offline?

I think he means the mayor can set the ranks of town assistants that are offline

I recently gave a resident the Plot-Master rank, but he was not able to use the command /plot forsale.

The chat stated: You are not a mayor or an assistant.

I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this same problem.

Our former Plot-Master also had the same problems; our Mayor had to promote him into an Assistant.

Is there any resolve to the plot-master problem in the works?
