+** The assignment is somehow based on [[Clairvoyance|activity rating]]. The system will pick any citizen with 5 stars first. The best way to determine a catapult operator is only one person logs in right after attack. They do activities to gain a five star rating before anyone else logs in. Otherwise the operator assignment goes to someone completely random.The system may pick anyone from 4 stars to 0 star without any particular preference.
 ** The selected {{MetaInline|Citizen}} will get a message from [[The Crow]] that they have been selected as the catapult operator, and that they should go to the catapult area.
 * When you get to the Catapult area you will be given an option to enter (X,Y) coordinates to launch one item in your inventory.

 == Notes ==
 * In a [[Meta]] town, they will manipulate the selection by asking only 1 to log in after {{MetaInline|The Attack}} and perform all sorts of activities to get 5 stars before triggering the selection progress. This ensures only the one they want becomes the catapult operator.
