The top ten Represented Authority towns on the server get a cut of the Tax Rebate that comes from [[Player Stalls]]. 
+
A {{i|Challenge Authority}}, commonly known as a "Poop Claim", is an aggressive structure used to drain an opposing Town's Represented Authority. To build a Challenge Authority you must be a Citizen of a [[Town Bell|Town Claim]] as well as have the "Manage Claims" right within that Town. A Challenge Authority must be built on Town Claim but as long as the Challenge Authority is built all at once this action is '''NOT''' a [[Crime]]. A {{PAGENAME}} '''CANNOT''' be {{i|Salvage}}d.
 
 
The Challenge Authority, aka 'Poop Claim', will drain a town's Represented Authority over time when built '''inside''' the borders of that town.  Represented Authority is what Benjamin Bryberry measures, and what determines Tax Rebates.
 
 
 
Actual Authority given by Silver will not drain so the Town Bell is safe from a Poop Claim.  Represented Authority cannot exceed Actual Authority and the silver cost of the town will rise with the building of [[Cross of Saint George]] as well as [[Boundry Stone]]s.
 
  
A Challenge Authority reduces the Represented Authority of a town it is placed on in the following increments each hour [40,80,160,240,240,240…..] up to 960 Authority per hour once it has been up 4 hours and it activates with the first hour. The Poop Claim will remain active until it is destroyed; if it is not destroyed, it will keep the Represented Authority at 0 until it is destroyed. Represented Authority will recover at a rate of 120 per hour once the Poop Claim is gone.
+
A Challenge Authority increasingly reduces the Represented Authority of the Town Claim each hour after it has been built. Each hour after a Challenge Authority has been built it will ring the {{i|Town Bell}} of both the challenging and the challenged Town, as well as send out a message to the Town Chat. Until a Challenge Authority is {{i|Destroy}}ed it continue to drain, and eventually keep the Town Claim's Represented Authority at 0. Once Destroyed, Represented Authority will recover at a rate of 120 per hour.

===Represented Authority vs Actual Authority===

While often used interchangeably a Town Bell has several types of Authority. A Max Authority which is represented by the Silver capacity of the Town Bell. Actual Authority which is the Silver in the Town Bell, and Represented Authority which is calculated based on the Max Authority and Actual Authority, modified by any Challenge Authorities that may be built on that Town. Represented Authority can never exceed Actual Authority. Only Represented Authority, not Actual Authority, is drained by a Challenge Authority therefor a Challenge Authority will not harm a Town Claim in any way.

Represented Authority vs Actual Authority

While often used interchangeably a Town Bell has several types of Authority. A Max Authority which is represented by the Silver capacity of the Town Bell. Actual Authority which is the Silver in the Town Bell, and Represented Authority which is calculated based on the Max Authority and Actual Authority, modified by any Challenge Authorities that may be built on that Town. Represented Authority can never exceed Actual Authority. Only Represented Authority, not Actual Authority, is drained by a Challenge Authority therefor a Challenge Authority will not harm a Town Claim in any way.

Tax Rebate

His Majesty, in his graciousness and wisdom, refunds 20% of all taxes he takes from the Player Stalls back to the top 10 Town Claims with the highest Authority. You can speak to Right-clicking Benjamin Bryberry in Providence and selecting "View Town Register" will show you a list of the Top 10 Towns with the highest Authority.

Town Rank Amount Refunded
1 38.53%
2 23.81%
3 14.72%
4 9.09%
5 5.63%
6 3.46%
7 2.16%
8 1.30%
9 0.87%
10 0.43%

Competing For Top 10 Status

Towns that want a bigger cut of His Majesty's tax rebate can raise their Town Claim's Authority by building Boundry Stone icon.png Boundry Stones, Cross of Saint George icon.png Cross of Saint Georges, or by building a Challenge Authority icon.png Challenge Authority on one of the other Top 10 Town Claims to drain their Authority and thus drop their rank.
