Upkeep Revision

metr0n0me

I have a suggestion that attempts to rectify the problem of towns having more residents than plots. Currently there is no incentive for town owners to set up plots for the players joining the town. (*ahem* Hornemans) So what if we used this simple formula

Upkeep=65*(number of plots)+[5*(residents-total plots--note if this number is negative, it'll just go to 0)*town tax]

Translation: Keep the normal plot upkeep, but add 5 * town tax * the difference between plots and players.

For example, if a town were to have 1000 residents and 800 plots with a tax of 1000, currently the upkeep would equal 800*65, or 52000. My suggestion would be for the upkeep to equal 52000 (normal upkeep) + 5*1000 (tax) *200 (plots - residents).

Is this reasonably clear?

YEHAAAAAAAAAAAW

The problem is that this rule is easily avoidable, just go claim new wild plots

So would no rule at all be better? Besides Hornemans cannot claim 100 wild plots per day.

This looks way too difficult
plus we didn't make the towny plugin so changing too much can actually result in bigger problems

To hard, just need to simple fix the rules to state either Max tax of "x" or remove taxes all together! But that is another thread that you can find in the suggestions piles from about a year ago that explains the benefits of that.

Ummm? Yes I can!

this is better: [number of players in town]*[daily player tax-- but 65 if under 65] is the daily tax if more players than plots.

if more plots than players, [daily player tax] = ([town tax]+30,000)/[number of players in town]
^should only occur If the [tax earned from players]>[daily towny upkeep]

65 is upkeep per plot

Yeah looks pretty complex.

Very clear to understand as long as you pay attention to it. I think you should maybe clarify that the difference is what you're talking about being negative. Maybe just me, but I don't know. Anyways, I actually like that idea, since it affects people with too many people and not enough plots, but not people who have too few people and too many plots *ahem* me.

It is actually supposed to be "your," not "you're."

Denied - this is too complicated and the towny plugin doesn't support it.
