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.
