These additional pages about the EarthMC community are harder to find, and some might not even know they exist:

<br />

Recently (late 2019), a hacker created many bots and joined a lot of towns with them.  That is why open towns are generally not allowed on EarthMC.

<br />

<br />

The limit is 3000 blocks.

<br />

Once your town gets an invite from a nation, do this:

You can check your town stats while in town:

*

Having gold in your inventory is very dangerous, because gold is so valuable.  On 27 Sep 2019, someone was killed while typing in the town creation command.  Take precautions below, to minimize the chances of being robbed.

Once created, a message in chat shows that someone made a town, accompanied by GG from players because that's just always what they've said.

Give yourself a plot

<br />

You want to invite some players, but don't want them to open town chests.

<br />

<br />

<br />

I am not sure, but I think the town perms override the plot perms.  So even if you allow ''<u>switch on</u>'' in the plot, if the town has ''<u>switch off</u>'', then the resident would not be able to open any doors or chests.

For example:

<br />

<br />

Sometimes you may have more questions or need a helping hand.

## go to the '''#support-tickets''' channel

## Type      '''-new'''  to create a new ticket

=='''Protecting Your Map Art'''==

Several museums have had their valuable map art stolen from item frames _{(as of June 26, 2020)}, even when the plot is claimed.  The art thieves used a boat glitch to pop the items out of the frame.   

Please take extra precautions:

# Take a picture of your maps if you have invested a lot of time on them.

<br />

You want to buy a beacon.  It now costs over 160g and many people have been scammed.  Here are some guidelines on how to make a trade safely:

#Use the '''/trade''' command

This is how you make a sign shop:

1) You should own the plot where the shop is. The plot needs to be a shop plot.

''For example, if you are selling 64 wood planks for 1g, type "'''1'''" in the chat''

Ask specific questions in the EarthMC Support Discord. Or look for a mod.

<br />

'''Citizens''' are the inhabitants of a nation, while '''residents''' are the inhabitants of a town.

<br />

An embassy is an area located in a town that is owned by a user not inside said town, it is usually sold for gold, and is commonly a shop due to the town that the owner is in not being very visited.  

As a mayor of a town, you can create an embassy  

You can also create shop plots, farm plots, and inn plots.   

<br />

A '''battle''' is a combat between two or more armed forces. ... '''Battles''' are between soldiers, while '''war''' is between countries or nations. '''Battles''' can be won and lost, but it may not determine the end of the '''War'''. '''Battles''' are usually short term, while '''wars''' are lengthy. (Source: [https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-a-war-and-a-battle Farhan Syeed on Quora])

<br />

Several Political Parties from different nations or locations can share the same ideology. But the reverse is difficult to imagine (i.e.one political party with several ideologies).

<br />

<br />

The best way is to '''use the Towny Commands below'''.

'''Muting a Specific Player with Towny command'''

'''Muting a Specific Player with /ignore'''

* Caution: ''Not sure if /ignore can be undone easily.''

'''Muting Everyone (several methods)'''

<br />

*'''/chmute''' <channel> <player>         mutes a player in a channel
