    Combine the abilities of a town crier with a conversationalist so by default it acts as a town crier to display lot ownership, get the free gold on 1st visit, etc but can also have custom dialogue added so town owners can include inky dialogue for town features, players, guilds, and events. ie stuff that a real town crier would actually do.

    A real town crier would go to the larger areas (e.g. marketplaces) of a town to cry out new laws, edict, announcements etc. of the ruling Noble to the - in the past - usually illiterate population.

    So instead of an instant "daily message" when entering a town that would be the town criers job to get around town. Which is why a real town crier would not always be available at the same place to greet foreigners entering the town...

    True. Not sure we want them walking around though even if it was possible which isn't likely since how would he/she know where the market even is. Maybe eventually a governor could record a path by walking it and saving it, then the town crier uses that. Having a path would be somewhat useless without the actual local information about town locations and events. Adding a inky conversation to the conversationalist would at least add that information.
