I believe this has been answered already. From what I've read it seems they started with a lower limit to encourage more users to build (which they are happy to revisit once the revision has been up for a bit) but ultimately that additional plots can be requested FROM CADMINS once a user has filled whatever the current system limit is.

Welcome to the Nerd.nu November News Digest! Below you will find a summary of all the cool stuff that's going on in the month of November. Admins will make their announcement posts as usual and they will be compiled here to make it easier to locate them. If anything is missing please let me know and I'll make sure to add it in. We'll give this a try for a few months and if it goes well will continue.

It's because global is build deny while people vote - I didn't want builds to be edited until after voting is finished.

Apologies, i knew i was missing a bit in the post. We plan to use the top three lobbies voted in the rotation with the schedule posted after everything is completed. Top winning lobby will have a longer use time than spots 2 and 3. All finalists will receive honorable mention in the lobbies regardless of their standing in the poll (and we may choose to use the other lobbies in the future) Also before anything goes up builders will be allowed to "finish up" anything they hadn't gotten a chance to (we want to make sure all of the details they'd intended are there).

Thank you to everyone's who's built a lobby for the contest! There were quite a few submissions, however didy and I have narrowed it down to the top 5 based on level of completeness and adherence to the rules. Here are photos of the finalists, however it is highly recommended you go to c.nerd.nu and visit /warp lobbycontest to see the full builds as these photos do not give the entire picture. I have set up warp signs for the finalists builds. PLEASE USE THE ABOVE VOTE TO RANK THE 5 FINALISTS!!! Voting will remain open for 1 week (until Nov 6th) Finalists (in plot order) iNerd71/Polar_Ted/Forever_a_steve (dome | underwater) 209 14 -418 Haiku (corner shot | corner shot) 0 26 -209 Heysofia (interior shot | exterior shot) 417 50 -3 Scherererer (interior shot | exterior shot) 209 129 0 Skullhead2a (Creative side | Towards spawn) -418 14 20 full imgur album is here: http://imgur.com/a/ti5aN

The suggestion that we put a link on the header has been made before - i've only just barely figured out how to add a sidebar photo, so if someone can show us that we can totally use the header area instead of taking up a sticky.

Zomise had mentioned for the last staff meeting to use it for announcements as well (for things like winners of contests or things like the new creative testworld)

Seeing as October had a lot of events running at the same time and we kept ending up having to handle multiple stickies on the subreddit I threw out an "October Events" sticky. My question is this: - Is this something you feel would be useful going forward - Should we house the post entirely on the subreddit (which limits our formatting options) - OR should we house the post on the forum and link to the subreddit (which gives more formatting options) I've got ideas for how to do it, but i am looking for any thoughts you may have. thanks! - Silver

The PDF didy created states "Staff create nomination threads as usual" As for the length of time needed to pass between a nomination being denied and a new nomination will depend on the reason for denial. "Specific reasons" could be anything - A few things that come to mind would be severe or recent misconduct. Often times people will have reasons for saying no to a candidate there is no way to specify all of them.

The lobby contest is over!! Keep an eye out this week for a voting thread!

Bumping: the lobby contest ends THIS WEEKEND - get your builds done by sunday night!!

NEGATIVE, ZOMBIES FOR DAYS!!! Abit and _ferg -> both of you will need to let us know the name of your map as well as kits (if you dont have a kit chest already populated)

Not in this post, but we can see about putting something out when things are added.

done.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the minigames map contest! It's been an awesome time seeing what people have built for the server! On a more important note: we have two winners to announce!!!!!! For the best Halloween themed build: Abitcat AbitTheZombie!! For the most technically playable build: _Ferg Winners maps will be put up on the minigames server and their heads will be put on the minigames lobby. Other maps that are deemed suitable for use will be added as time becomes available, so finish up those builds! There are a bunch of maps that look really promising so we are going to leave the plots open for people to finish their maps. Thanks again to everyone who participated!!

The minigames contest is now concluded. Builds were evaluated last night and winners will be announced shortly. If you wish to continue working on your unfinished builds you may.

I have unbanned your "Gizzletinks" account.

Gizzletinks - Thank you for re-reading the rules. Please confirm you agree to the stipulations called out above and we will remove your ban.

I'd love Minigame Mondays. Or Torture Tuesday. Warring Wednesday..

Its a bit complicated for a poll since i'm looking for day, time, timezone, etc.

Alrighty then, it was brought up at the community meeting that there would be interest in a designated minigames night for nerd. I know we have a *ton* of time zones represented so i'm looking for input. When would be the best night for people to do a regularly scheduled minigames night. Saturday night is bad because of speedbuild on creative and sunday tends to be spleef on p - so are there any other suggestions?

Apologies, there were some topics i missed adding. I'm not sure what you're looking for discussion-wise, if people want to save copies of build schematics they can do so whenever they choose.

Gizzeltinks - We have reviewed your appeal with staff and come to a decision. At this time we are willing to unban you with the stipulation that *any* bannable offense you commit will be met with a 1 month ban, and any further bannable offense after that will put you back on the long-term ban list. We are doing this in the hopes that you can show you have changed and are willing to abide by the rules of the server. To that end, please refresh yourself with our rules at nerd.nu/rules and reply back stating what rules you have broken and that you agree to the stipulation above. After that we will unban you.
