Make the /vote rewards apply to everyone from the same IP since you can only vote 1 time per household The plugin used for voting is still in a sort of testing mode, we can pass the request on to the techs who are working on it as a feature request, but we aren't really sure if we're keeping this plugin or coming up with something new at this point. pls add vote reminder to login on pve/c Currently the vote plugin is only available on the lobby and so the only messages you'll see are on the lobby. pls bring back staff meeting notes The staff meeting notes are currently being posted in the "news and information" forum which are publicly viewable. It looks like we've missed posting the December meeting (we had one meeting for november/december due to holidays) so we'll try to get those out asap.

Expectations 1. I like knowing a rough end date. It makes it easier to know how long i have to AFK in my farm :) 2. yes 3a. Its hard to find a good mix of "public input" vs "getting things done timely" - I think you're on the right track. Additional Thoughts: n/a Map Size 1. I like the current map size. It allows people to build far away from eachother without having to worry about encroaching. It also means that you can often find a large area to mine resources without having to worry about marring the view for a neighbor 2. ^ point 1 aside, i think we've been trending towards larger and larger maps recently. A smaller map may encourage more built infrastructure (roads, rails, etc). Additional Thoughts: n/a Biomes 1. The deviation from vanilla is great. 2. sand and gravel deposits/deserts. Especially with the new concrete - i hate having to tear up beaches for concrete since they're often quite close to others builds. And with the ocean floor not being sand/gravel this rev its not as easy to do. 3. n/a Additional Thoughts: n/a Ore Distribution 1. Seemed to be pretty decently distributed. Diamonds do seem a bit high but its a hard ore to get perfect. 2. nope 3. diamond a smidge. otherwise nope. 4. Mesa being plumped for gold is vanilla now iirc. And extreme hills are emeralds. Seems like a good idea if you're looking for something rather than lowering ratios overall. Additional Thoughts: n/a Nether Portals 1. I personally prefer a sligthly more spread out portal spread, but i dont think this revs set up was bad. 2. TBH i would absolutely love to see a new method of portal distribution tried. This method is 'tried and true' but it does often seem like the same groups get portals. In a perfect world, a method for 'purchasing' a portal would be amazing - provided there are no obstacles on the overworld/netherside of the coordinates the only limit on this would be having them too close together (which could be easily mitigated by setting rules regarding distance between portals etc). Additional Thoughts: n/a Nether 1. Vanilla nether is boring. But this revs upper/lower made it hard to figure out where portals were located. 2a. Personally i am a huge fan of "no staff created builds other than main spawn" in a map. Its convenient, but really feels like too much is just handed out when it happens. 2b. Same as above. Its a nice station, but i would rather it not be pre-built. Additional Thoughts: n/a End 1. I dont really use the end. I've only been a handful of times this rev since i found an end portal. 2. ^ I've no real opinion on this. Additional Thoughts: There's just not enough in the end to make it worth my time to go. I'd be all for nuking the vanilla end and doing something more fun. Mapworld 1. I've not used mapworld *this* rev, but having the maps carry forward. It gives you a chance to work on a larger project and not feel like its wasted time if you finish the week before a new rev. 2. World edit feels a bit too cheaty. Its already creative mode on a pve server which is strike 1. Additional Thoughts: n/a Spawn 1a. I think the layout is fine. Its easy enough to navigate. 2. n/a 3. n/a 4. Same as the nether station. the fewer pre-built staff items the better. Additional Thoughts: FLOWERCOPTER SPAWN IS BEST SPAWN Features Iron Golem Spawners 1a. i think costs are fine 1b. I prefer the level-up method. It lets you get started quicker rather than jumping straight to the end. 1c. n/a Additional Thoughts: n/a Custom Spawners 1. I agree with WCS, i like mobs to live in the world where they exist. that being said, nether spawners are just bad news (see additional thoughts) 2. 'same old same old' 3. zigs. 4. The problem with guardian grinders this rev is that there are way too many temples. A normal map (with normal mob distributions) would never have as many as we do, and with everyone and their cousin wanting to make a grinder of it, all it is going to do is make us hit the hostile mob cap more often and break things. that being said, i DO NOT think we should replace them with spawners. guardian temples work just fine as a natural spawner, they just need to be limited to more normal levels. Additional Thoughts: Nether spawners imo are a bad idea - It encourages afking in a world that already has spawning issues if players are split. This often leads to extremely salty players wanting to know who is in the nether and getting mad when people AFK there and divide the mob count. Community Blog Posts 1. I really liked the blog post that had the 'list of towns/coords' on it. For uh...mapping reasons :) 2. nope. Additional Thoughts: n/a Events 1. I die a lot. Though i think its intentional. 2. no real opinion. all events are good events. 3. no real opinion. all events are good events. 4a. i dont get prizes :( Additional Thoughts: n/a Plugins TrainCarts 1. I have had so many problems with TrainCarts at this point i wont even use rails anymore. I can't use elytra because my internet can't keep up with the server if i'm moving that fast. And now I can't use rails for the same reason (hypercarts allowed you to set your own max speed so i could make it usable). I end up lagging into lava or walls or off cliffs, I constantly take damage on corners due to the way it moves you across the track. Additionally it messes with auto-furnaces that use carts so we're stuck using hopper-heavy methods. Overall - no sir. I dont like it. 2. pls god no. 3. just the one feature where you dont use it at all. Additional Thoughts: n/a Other Plugins 1. n/a 2. n/a Additional Thoughts: We've discussed the other area i have noticed issues. no further comments here. Closing Thoughts: nope Additional Thoughts: nope

community-sourced common typos for commands -> aliases for what they should be While this may be helpful we do not currently feel this is a productive use of tech admin time, as well as encourages pour speeling praktices!

ELYTRA The lobby that is in place at the current time is not designed for elytra. We will not be implementing them at this time. bring back survival We currently do not have any plans to bring back survival as the last few attempts have not brought in enough of a consistant playerbase to sustain a pvp-style survival server. We do have some items being investigated to increase our offerings, however the survival server of the past will not be returning at this time. Please consider reintroducing WingCommander for the lobby Some lobbies are not optimised for eltyra flight. However when we have a lobby that is suitable for flying we'll be happy to enable elytra. put mobs in the lobby, make us bleed The lobby is designed for short-term stays between restarts and as a hub for our servers, adding mobs overall would be more of an annoyance to those waiting to rejoin the servers. Its possible it could be looked into for future lobbies as a side-arena but we'd need to check with techs on the feasibility of adding it prior to next years lobby contest.

Following this post we've enabled the /suggestion-box command on the lobby for suggestions for head admins or things that are not really server-specific. Below will be our responses to these posts!

Tic and Fazaden have suffered through my training and are now loose on the world!

@totemo if we’re giving credit we also need to be giving it to @bermudalocket - he isn’t a tech and yet he spent a ton of time researching and updating crackshot to fix some issues with the guns post-1.12-update, as well as updating moblimiter to fix the excessive villagers running around.
