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 because the plugin is outdated.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.
