Definition of making a town:
When the demands in the rules are met, you've made a town.
OR when you manage to meet demands in the rules, you may create a town.
Admittedly... these rules are soon 3 years old. They originated from a time where other rules didn't as easily regulate the current problem with people covering the map with towns or guild centers they just left abandoned after a few days. A time when RPs were too easily split by people for OOC reasons just moving to wherever it was currently 'cool' to live ICly.
Some of the demands are needed, purely cause you do need for example co-leader, members, location... etc. But when it comes to it otherwise I wonder if it isn't simply easier/better to just ask staff for permission. We didn't do that back then simply cause we wanted to allow people more freedom while not having too much. Now though, it's different times.
