The towny system definitely has potential here, being that a mayor can clear individual plots. The problem I'm having is, unless i want a town exactly like everyone elses with 16x16 houses everywhere, I'm put in a pickle whenever I have a member go inactive and I want to clear them out to make room for someone new.
Maybe there is a solution here that I don't know about, but as it stands now, I don't know how to deal with clearing out one inactive member when other folks have locks in the same plot.
Seems like mayors should have a way to clear based on member's name, rather than everything in a single plot.
