Yeah the village authority system is really lame. Some people on the forums seem to have a similar opinion, and an update for villages is coming soon. However, I'm going to create a new village (with less people) for the following reasons:
1. I'm going to find a mine, and create a village ontop of it.
2. Having the river running through the old village is a bitch, I chose a bad spot to create it.
3. Everyone in the old village is being stupid and lacks a sense of authority.
4. WE NEED A MINE NEXT TO US.
5. I want people who I like to be around, are fair and have at least an ounce of logic. I didn't realise when I started the village initially that inviting random people from the blockland forums would cause a stuffstorm. I should of forseen it.
6. The lot system is stuffed up at the old village. I want there to be more room in lots, and I want there to be heaps of area inbetween lots for a better road system.
7. There needs to be a better law system, and some sort of communication system between users. I have a few ideas, like a "mail" chest on each lot that would contain general notes for the owner of the lot.
I shall be leaving to find a mine tomorrow as both Teme and myself are too busy to do it right now :P.
