September 2nd

August 11th

  • Updated PvE Suggestion box with current suggestions and responses.

August 6th

July 25th

  • We held another padmin meeting yesterday. Due to more frequent meetings, our agenda is greatly reduced. Here are our public notes from that meeting.

Padmin Meeting - 24th July

We confirmed that the spawn gift shop task was complete but may continue to spontaneously add gifts to the villager as we think of new ones to include.

Defiex talked us through her testing with Pez on the new dynmap markers. Following a suggestion-box suggestion, we will soon be updating the grinder markers with a new icon.

We have decided to move away from publishing our responses to the suggestion box monthly and will instead have a bi-weekly response. We may increase the frequency further in future too if this is manageable.

We have a new version of the alerts available. Our team will read over it thoroughly before making changes. The changes would condense the current list of alerts to roughly half the size, keeping useful commands visible for people but removing some of the clutter too.

We have decided on a tentative start date for the meteor shower & alien scavenger hunt events.

  • Progress has temporarily stalled on this event while we focus on the admin hunt.

We provided an update on the admin hunt event. Awaiting for the multiverse to be moved over to live P so that we can put out finishing touches, with an announcement to follow shortly.

Cujobear confirmed that the 12th NITWITS clue is now available. We talked about the timeline for the remaining clues, especially working around the fundraiser weekend.

  • We discussed prizes for future milestones and ensuring that the final milestone will offer a choice to prizes.

We confirmed the approach we want to take for collating new revision feedback across revisions 17 through to 20 in time for when we enter the revision 21 reset schedule.

We discussed how we would approach revision preparation documentation. It was agreed that we would build this document as we build revision 21.

  • Similar documentation for map-making was discussed with a similar approach in mind.

We discussed the remaining three moderators due P specific training and encouraged ourselves to seek them out.

  • The training area on P will be updated by Wednesday as the logged areas have now gone out of logblock.

Several tasks were assigned with deadlines agreed for all actions.

 

July 24th

  • Updated icons for grinders on the live map to skulls vs the little house icons. Towns will remain house icons, while grinders are now skulls. http://nerd.nu/maps/pve/live/

July 22nd

  • Suggestion box responses have been published.

July 23rd

 

July 20th:

  • New safeguards have been introduced to hold us to account better.

July 19th:

  • Novelty gift shop "Gnome Depot" opened at the rear end of spawn.
    • This has included a redesign of the spawn structure now allowing for horses to pass through the building.

July 18th:

  • Improvements to EasyRider have been made. Read here for the original post.

July 17th:
For those unfamiliar or unaware, our team tends to hold a padmin meeting once a month where we discuss a range of points. We do spend a good deal of time assigning ourselves to tasks, setting deadlines and discussing current issues regarding P. Due to a request from Zomise, we've decided from here onwards to declassify our meeting notes as much as possible. We are going to continue redacting quite a lot of the details but we hope that these public notes are at least somewhat worth your time to read. Specifically, we have left out our deadlines as there are instances where our team meetings have planned actions which for one reason or another do not come to fruition.

  • Mid-rev feedback topics have been locked.
  • Declassified padmin meeting notes from 16th July meeting.

  • We discussed the removal of region owners and transferral of a build in the context of UNP’s concerns and the steps in which we will take to address this issue.
