Thread: Zoning rights question
zoning right gives any player ability to place a structure within city limits. the rights last for 24 hours.
/grantzoningrights is in effect for 24 hrs. The person is capable of placing as many houses or structures as they can or wishwithin the city limits in that period of time.

You are mayor of an Imperialcity with 50 citizens. All is well and you start allowing unguilded people to join your city. One day you meet a really pretty unguilded Twi'lek dancer in your cantina. She expresses her interest to live in your city. It is late at night in the real world and you are tired. So you /grantzoningrights on her and she places her house. You are tired, you go to bed.
The next morning you wake up to find your mailbox full of messages of her placing houses. Odd, she placed 75 houses in your city. What she did was allow her Rebel (she was a spy so unguilded)guild to move into your city. They were stopped from getting a city by the cap and decided to take out your city. She placed each house, then used /transferstructure to make the house now owned by a different person in her guild.
She does this 74 times and now her guild of 75 Rebels is now living in your city.All of them declare residence and are now citizens of your city. You check the voting termal and find out she is running against you for mayor, and she has 75 votes, you only have 50 of the original citizens.
You just lost your city. Oh btw, you are now an Imperial living in a Rebel city and have been /citybanned. Welcome to griefing 101.
ROFLMAO!!!
Did this actually happen to anyone?

Ok, I know how zoning rights work, and this is probably a stupid question but, do they extend beyond the city borders? It's a long story how and why but the long and the short of it is there is room under the cap on a planet for several metropolises on my server, but there is 1 very large city that has determined they don't want any more cities on the planet cuz they don't want their city to be raided, so they are using the move a bunch of houses into the next update area trick to try and keep the city down. We have a master politician set to be the mayor for the new city, so having zoning rights is no issue, but other than continually trying to get people there to outvote the people moving in can we use zoning rights to overcome this? Or do we have to find a more creative way?
Thanks.
