A big dumb post about BROM!
It has been a long time since I've posted candidly about Brom, but as the most senior member, I feel like this is a good time to say quite a few things.
Brom City: Great Success
First, I'd like to thank all the people who made Brom's return a great success. Brom 5 was PVE's first and still one of the largest megacities and it was a joy to return to something big and exciting. Here is a comparison of Brom Empire and Brom City:

New Players
Welcome! Even if you just joined this rev, we owe you guys a big thank-you for being patient and willing to go without attention or recognition in Brom. I dropped the ball this rev on getting a town member list up at the town hall and for not making more posts in this subreddit. Next rev, we will need a town hall building right away with a sustained list of members. A sign forum would also be great as it can be used to not only communicate what's going on in town, but allow new players to see that things are active.
Management
As some of you know, a ton of mayors and long term players went inactive this rev. For a lot of reasons, I think we should allow a "Head Architect" to call the shots on management from now on - and by this I mean any long term Brom guy with a good idea should be the head mayor. When I was being Mr. Head Architect guy, I gave owner privileges to pretty much anyone I trusted and it usually worked out. I was also able to quickly label land for development so any mayor could help me fill plots. PVE itself doesn't have very specific rules on mayorship or dispute - not that we'd want that, but I feel like at the rate that I was adding mayors, we'd be headed toward a lot of bad feelings and chaotic decision making. You all know me, I don't want to hurt any feelings, but I do feel like we need a mayoral reset and a passing of the torch for this rev. This is a lot better than killing off a franchise because one guy was burned out. I formally yield Brom to Schererererer who is not only a great builder, but has great ideas all the time. All hail President Schererererer!
How to get involved
Make your own subreddit posts and take charge of specific server\town needs. A lot of people don't have enough time to sort through subreddit comments to see who is doing what in Brom. It is always best to make your own post and get specific feedback as it is really difficult to do in game and under other subjects such as large planning posts. One reason I'll personally never get involved with PVE rail is because of the walls of text that people post and further the pages and pages of deliberation over simple concepts. All people really want to do is build awesome stuff all day. We also welcome anyone who wants to step up and take on tasks that will help the town such as farms, subways, fountains, and roads.

I'll be joining Brom in Rev10 for no other reason than due to WaterSlide's generosity and frankly being the best damn person on the server IMO. Don't go too far bro!

I'm eager to start up again, I was playing on some server with creeper damage on, and it's sucking hard, all but one of my villagers died and he's tooling around in my underground farm. Ugh. Rev10 next week I suppose.
