Can't become mayor of my town bell.

I built a second town bell as mayor of my first one, after which I dropped mayor of the first town bell. The second town bell will not allow me to become mayor of it. I guess I just lost 2500s and 5 bars from a bug.

From what I've read on this, my guess is that it's the same bug as other people have experienced when the mayor dies and nobody else can claim the position. I would also guess that if you would have dropped mayorship before building the second town, things should have worked right. If I read this correctly, you weren't available to become mayor when the town bell was completed (were already a mayor of a town), so the same situation occurred.

It's sort of a... feature? It's designed to prevent raiders from stealing charters and using or selling them.

Well hopefully I can get it back. 2500s and 5 bars isn't nothing.

Did you just renounce mayorship, or did you also leave the town you were in? You can't be a member of two towns at once, so if you didn't leave town it's obvious why this failed.

Yes. You may mayor and belong to 0nly one town at a time. You can however invite someone else into said town, and give them effective rights as a mayor, and then go back to being the actual mayor of the first town. Presumably you do this with an alt, and boom. You can mayor/control two towns at once.
