np, was not trying to sound ****** just telling you from a position of experience (unlike the morons such as taipion that spew false information left and right while having no first hand experience) the way it really is.
i have held the top two town slots for the majority of the time there was the town system, a few years or so. at one time it was definitely worth fighting over as a long time ago you might pull in upwards of 5k - 8k a day at top slot and silver was worth a lot more back then before retards exploited cotton and silver bars to inflate the economy, now top slot most days produces less than 1k. population and stall commerce is simply to slight at the moment to even offset the upkeep of a town the size you would need. the majority of the towns on the board are just large towns in their own right trying to protect their borders better or in the case of the past week or so in the case of towns like pater noster and vatican city shooting up the case of a group of derps that have never been higher than slot 7 or 8 that are suddenly spamming authority objects because nobody cares about the slots anymore to go ***** with them over position and they falsely think that there is something to be gained from their efforts, there have been several towns that have done this only to discover they wasted a week building borderstones for nothing
