*Staff meeting minutes!* IMPORTANT server changes 12/11/12

[Gman325]

Minecraft Junkie Staff Meeting 12/11/12 at 6:30 PM PST

Members in attendance: Kommy000, ExplodingBoxes, Bane_of_Enderman, Gman325, Graystan, EPhantom, Kenpachi, PMBFTW, Countypo, MistaWaters, Joshthelegodude, Zerathule, XLXDaltonXLX,

1. PVP on/off -It was decided to set as a toggle. A warm-up period of one day after PVP is triggered on a player before it is enabled and a cooldown period of three days before it can be disabled has been instated.
-residency will be modified to disable the -pvp flag and -move flag for everyone below overlords to prevent abuse of world pvp functionality.

2. Worlds: Keeping: Old World, New World, Creative, Official Nether, End.
-The End now resets every 6 hours automatically, before every server reset. This is to prevent the press button/receive experience situation the End currently suffers from

Dropping worlds: Vanilla, vanilla End, Vanilla Nether, Gameworld. Disabling MCMMO for Creative/End worlds

3. Nico and MistaWaters have been appointed to head up MCJunkie Publicity group: This will include videos, Minecraft Official Forum posts, youtube channel, livestreams, facebook page, etc. to help regrow our player base
-Server events will be a subset of this group
-current members of the team have been decided to be Nico, Waters, Josh, Caldrin (grandfathered in by way of previous events job). Anyone else who wants to join this crew, talk to these members. They are also open to suggestions

4. Votifier/listener: We are implementing plugin for rewarding people for voting for MCJunkie on various server lists.

5. We need to set up some sort of go-between system between locations. Stargates, multiverse portals, something. Not too complicated. -Stargates can likely not be used, 1. for overcomplexity, and 2. because the plugin is outdated. Ideas are to require permission on both sides of a teleport before it is set up.

6.We are nerfing/rebalancing MCMMO.
-Followup: Replacing Falsebook with Craftbook in the near future.

7. We will NOT be implementing a new spawn area. We ARE adding a new default spawn room with a hands-on tutorial of server plugins. We will be dropping default password requirement.
-Zera and Boxes appointed to tackle this. Kommy made the executive decision to not force new players through the tutorial. They need a way out at all times.
-Potentially Use commandblock to make a web-based MOTD to explain rules, give a server intro, map, etc.

8. Kommy is going to fix VIP teleport to drop the delay
-Also needs to fix /balancetop

9. Ez wants a /kit plugin -Decided by staff to be unnecessary at present

10. Ez suggested a tutorial written with book/quil, copied and spit out by a dispenser for new players, containing plugin commands, server rules, etc. -Zera decided to make a hands-on tutorial in spawn for new members instead

11. VIP/Staff/Overlords present voted in favor of implementing Zerathule’s Magic Spells plugin

12. Ez suggests instating a no-exceptions givebacks rule for world PVP. All looting duels should be kept to the arenas -Staff decided PVP rules stay as is. Givebacks duels are to be agreed upon beforehand, otherwise all duels are final. That is the purpose of the PVP switches

______________
Things still to talk about at the follow-up meeting:

Rocky suggests we change the name for VIPs to something cooler.

Bane’s sombre and bally/caldavas’s arena need to be added
Ez suggests new arenas for the game (PvP, Hunger Games, TF2, etc)

Meeting ended at 9:15 PM PST


ALL VOTED-ON DECISIONS ARE FINAL! Feel free to add suggestions for items we still need to discuss, but we will not be re-addressing items already decided on without a VERY good reason. If you want a vote, show up to the meeting.

[Ez86]

Sounds great, provided that i understand everything right, and for all things i am able to help i will help. Maybe for the eventgroup and the things which needs to be build. regardless I stand for anything but happy to help.
Thanks for your attention

[Ez86]

ah see, you didnt talked about the PvP tornament prefix/suffix and the idea to add 2 or 3 new ranks or?

[Gman325]

No ez. I was reading your suggestions in the meeting, but it was hard to pull everything out that wasnt numbered/bullet pointed, since i was also taking these notes. If you elaborate on that here, I'm sure it will be discussed at the follow-up.

[caldavas]

Y U DELETE GAMEWORLD dammit we spent ages on that D:

AGREE with everything else though

sad i couldent make it to the meeting D:

[DancingJoe]

Just need to make sure this is correct, the disabling of the PvP toggle flag? Does that mean residences are no longer safe havens?

[Gman325]

Yes, and yes. LWC remains, at this point, so it is possible for you to secure your residence against attackers. The main objective with it, as I understand it, was to prevent people from A. trapping people in their residences and killing them and B. abusing residences by killing someone, running back home, fighting, getting near death, running back home midfight, etc.

It's the same reason we have a 1-day warmup and a 3 day cooldown on player PVP-mode toggling. We want people to be able to decide if they want to participate in world-wide PVP at will, but we don't want them to abuse switching back and forth. If they want to be in PVP, they're always in PVP. etc.

[Ez86]

yes Gman i think that the prefix/suffix thing and the new ranks are important. But, just by the way Gman are you now the new Staffspeaker? Just wondering cuz you say ,,we,, and that YOU (no offense) explain it here and not a staff. I just wanna know

[Gman325]

Hah! no... I'm just the guy who recorded the meeting minutes...

[Explodingboxes]

We chose Gman to take the notes because he was one of the few people in mumble who was not staff so he could type out the notes while the rest of us would take about things that way we would not get distracted

Residence- all residence would have the PVP flag be false and the Move flag be true and make it so nobody can change them

GameWorld- we are going to move the arenas that are in the game world to the main world

there will be another meeting on the weekend i think it was decided because we talked for 2 hours about the main 3 things that kommy wanted to talk about and we didnt get to all the other things that we needed to talk about.
