Alright, the correct term would be urban sprawl, but I like the SARS reference better.

Now, my point. I have figured out how to stop Urban sprawl. Fairly easy if you think about it. What does every incorporated city have? A Zoning commission and a city planner. Why doesn't the DEV's create a branch off of the Architech tree to become a city planner. That way, before someone places a house, harvestor or factory, it has to have approved plans and an approved location. This may keep some of the sprawling to a minimum. Heck, every month or so, we could hold elections to choose a new city planner for each city. It doesn't have to be a real person, but an NPC. Architechs, would-be homeowners, merchants, etcwould pay the city planner to approve their housing locations.

Good idea or a bad result of too much Mountain Dew and not enough sleep?

First, I personally don't like the SARS reference, it's disrespectful tocompare our problem (even jokingly)with virtual urban sprawl whenpeoplehave suffered and died from it.

Second,Q said something about givingmaster architects the option of becoming urban planners (it's what he calls an"elite-elite" profession).

Third, zoning is a good idea, it has been discussed on the development boards.

Fourth, all we know about playercity officalsis they that mayors can be elected and they can appoint other players as milita members. There may be other officals forplayer cities that could beappointed or elected (I'd prefer a system with the flexibility todo both).

Fifth,I like Borak'snamebetterbecause it's more specific to the problem andthe acronym sounds like"saws".

Thank you Sojourner. I appreciate the support. Your right we don't know all about player cities yet but I think it wise to express our concerns now rather then later.

And ideally, I would like to get other non-scouts involved so that we could have CAUS. Citizens Against Urban Sprawl

"Caws?"Sowe what could we use as a mascot, are there any avians in the game that sound remotely like ravens?

I've taken to finding missions in the areas of sprawls, triggering aggro nests, and leaving. Sorta treating it as relocatinga nest to harangue some people I don't like. I really am getting tired of finding houses all over the place, and probably going to move to Dathomir so I can live in a tent down by the river.

maybe instead of S.A.R.S we could be A.N.T.H.R.A.X.

oh wait.. people died from that too...

Bwahahahahahahahaha

It's just going to get worse with player cities coming. LOL At least now the houses are primarily near towns.

ronge, city planner is a new profession coming with the player cities update, but it looks like it is only useful for the player cities and we all know that these cities will be extra territorial to the current cities in the game. personally i do not think the idea of player cities is a good one. we should instead be allowed to participate in the running of the actual cities in the star wars eu especially since most of the buildings are not in use and this would alleviate the pending urban sprawl.
