Policy changes regarding towny kings and mayors

Kings and Mayors are responsible for their own actions when they appoint someone else to become the new King or Mayor from now on.

Dear players,

We have received your concerns about us interfering with Towny and we agreed that we should take a step back in interfering with Town and Nation related issues. In several cases it has been shown that some mayors hand over their mayor status to another player in their town. This specific player (the new mayor) has lead the town directly to another Nation or an entirely different direction as to where the previous mayor wanted it to be lead towards. In the past, we considered the new mayor to break one of our rules (Rule #9: Do not join or ally towns/nations for the purpose of betraying them in any way, shape or form.), because in our view the new mayor was betraying the previous mayor by changing the town so drastically.

The moderators and the admins discussed this and we came to a conclusion that we will not interfere in these specific situations. When the current mayor appoints a new mayor, the current mayor hands over the entire town to that new mayor. This change in policy also counts for nations and kings. As has been mentioned in our help pages:

WARNING: You can't ask an administrator to give you your mayor rank back.
WARNING: You can't ask an administrator to give you your king rank back.

We hope that this makes all the confusion around this subject disappear and makes everything clear for you. :)

Thanks for reading
