Towny/Economy Achievements?

Dart_Knight

Basically to give a sense of accomplishment and to act as a reward thing for playing towny. There could be a menu on the side of the screen with the accomplishments you are close to completing and similar to the /jobs command, you can look at all the achievements to be made. Meeble prizes are given.

Examples (prices scale to achievement level) Also there are endless achievements that can be thought of but here's some:
Towny

Own 1, 4, 12, 16 plots
Create your own town
Create your own nation (or join a nation)
Recruit 10, 20, 50, 100 people into your town.
10, 20, 100 plots in your town.
Create a /pwarp
Have 10, 20, 50, 100 people at your pwarp at the same time.
etc. etc. etc.

Economy

Have 10,000 20,000 100,000 250,000 etc etc. meebles.
Earn x level in jobs
Survivability: when you town reaches a certain tax and your town survives a certain amount of days, you get rewarded.
etc. etc. etc.

"Here's some money for having money!"

Pretty cool idea. I like the concept. A few other ideas I had in mind include:

Recruiting 2 assistants
Recruiting a co-mayor
Adding people/claiming plots at a consistent rate (2 per day)
Have each player in the town own two plots
50% of the town is active everyday
90% of plots are owned by a person
etc, etc

Meeble prizes don't seem like a good idea. It'll bring even more money into the economy. Increasing the plot limit in the town would probably be a better reward, and would encourage people to expand more.

(Perhaps giving away lotto tickets as well? If that's even possible...)

IDK they would probs add it onto /ach but I do think /ach needs a bit of an upgrade

+1 Good concept, but not reward Meebles. Maybe some kind of item?

Vamp1re_Man

+1 Great Suggestion!
I definitely agree with TechnoTyson that /ach needs an upgrade and that this should be added onto it.

Recruiting 2 assistants
Recruiting a co-mayor
~ @KaiUsesThis

This could be easily abused if you add someone as a co-mayor/assistant to get the achievement, then instantly demote them.

+1, I like the sound of this. Back when I used to run Simple_Springs, I always wanted their to be something more to the towny experience and I think you have hit it on its head. As a suggestion for possible prizes, maybe have tax free days instead of meebles?

On the topic of rewards: I was thinking of something more tangible, something even a new player can utilize greatly. That's how I came up with meebles - something simple and every player can utilize. If we expand /warp shop to items that are utilized and bought a lot on vshop, it can remove meebles from the economy. Also inflation isn't terrible on a virtual server, you don't worry about loans, credit, unemployment, gdp, stock market panics, etc. I may be missing something in the big picture about virtual inflation (if i am someone tell me xD, ). So ya that's what I originally though of meebles, but any realistic prize can do.

I have read all of the comments above and here collected some alternate ideas:

Items. Items like tools? Random level 30 tool?
Tax free for X days.
If you get any mayor accomplishment: town is except for tax for X days, or you can get a free plot.
Lotto tickets? (this actually adds to the economy anyway)
