Glorious news noobians, today we found a little post by gg who mentioned that adding the rank of assistant to a sub-mayor that it should allow plot fs again in towny. #rejoice.

I am posting this here to get it under the attention of all mayors, and just in time for the Summer.

The problem: Out of nowhere after the Easter-reboot the command: /plot fs stopped working. This was many weeks ago, pouty faces all around.

The solution: Staff mentioned this is a Towny bug and posted they're working on a solution.

The great work-around: Why wait! Let's invite members to our towns and sell those plots with this great work around that's been tested by a handful of mayors today (and works).

If you are a co-mayor and as a sub-mayor, and you get the rank assistant added, you can do: /plot fs again!

/t rank add username assistant

[AAaaaaaah!!! glorious victory music here]

Town x just tested this on a sub-mayor, who got perm-denied first, but with added assistant group was again able to sell plots again.

I've tested this as well and am listed as mayor AND assistant and I've put up so many plots for sale in Windermere. Thanks for posting this Floris.

Confirmed for co-mayor as well. Co-mayors can also add assistant to themselves. And still works.

So.. Mayor, Co-mayor, Sub-Mayor + additional group: assistant .... works!

Something to note is that, at least for me (as a co-mayor), you are unable to use some other towny commands such as /plot set upon setting yourself as an assistant aswell as a mayor/co/sub-mayor.
I would therefore recommend only setting yourself as an assistant when you need to sell plots, and keep it off otherwise.
