[00:04] Okay, let's begin, I guess. Hello, everybody. This is our first meet-and-greet on the new map. Yay!
[00:13] I see a lot of people that are old faces and see some new ones here too. Hello,
[00:20] everybody. Basically, this meeting is going to be a little bit different than
[00:26] what we normally do. Normally, we have a town hall where everybody debates
[00:32] certain issues that are going on in the server. We nag the moderators for stuff,
[00:37] etc., etc. This is just us saying hello, telling us a little bit about
[00:44] ourselves, maybe a project we're working on right now, and if we need help or
[00:49] items or anything, you know, just say, hey, PM me, shoot me a mail, something. So
[00:57] without further ado, I guess we'll begin. I'm going to go down the list of people
[01:03] that are in Mumble right now, starting with Dio, just do alphabetically. So,
[01:11] Dio, would you like to take it away, introduce yourself, maybe say a few words?
[01:15] Hello, I'm Dio. I joined the server, I think, in June of 2012, and right now,
[01:24] I'm working on an Enderman grinder. Do you need anything from any of the
[01:30] community, or would you like assistance with it? No, I'm actually almost finished now.
[01:35] Cool. All right, we'll just go next to Evil Bob then, Evil Bob. Oh, I gotta hit the
[01:43] button. My name is Darryl. I'm not working on anything special right now. I'm
[01:49] building a castle, farming, looking for a cow. If you have a cow, you're ready for
[01:53] something. Let me know. Yeah, just shoot him a PM either in Minecraft, or are you
[02:02] on the forum? Every now and then. Yeah, you could try shooting him a PM through the
[02:07] forum if you want to get in touch with him. Dio, are you able to verbal talk, or
[02:12] are you only on phone text? I'm going to assume that means he's only on phone
[02:22] text. Gregor, would you like to go? Sure. My name is Gregor1942. I've been
[02:28] on the server since it was in the ChatCraft days, and currently I am working on
[02:36] just exploring the map and meeting you guys. And if you need anything, let me
[02:42] know. I can also let you at a reasonable price. Yeah, we haven't really
[02:48] established a lot of town shops yet. That's something that I imagine a lot
[02:53] of you guys are going to be working on coming up here. So for now it's more
[02:58] of a barter system, no real set prices, and eventually it'll kind of, you know,
[03:03] even out. Next up is L cars. Hi, my name is Craig. I've been on the server from
[03:10] probably June last year, and all I'm doing is like building a castle base in the
[03:17] WOS's down at the sci-fi. Do you need any items or any stone or anything
[03:25] right now? Not that I don't need anything. Cool. NGT, do you want to introduce
[03:32] yourself? Are you free? He might be AFK. Noel Matrix, what about you? Sorry. Oh,
[03:46] okay, NGT's back. Yeah, I'm Nightflyer. I've been playing Minecraft since the
[03:50] early Alpha days. Come to ChatCraft as well. I started playing on
[03:55] Tweetcraft on its first day. Currently I'm working on several houses. I'm
[04:00] doing one next door to myself. I've got a couple across the water to do. I am in
[04:05] need of glowstone and books if anybody has them. I myself don't have that many
[04:13] resources yet. I guess it's about it. Cool. Noel, do you have just text or you
[04:24] got a mic? Alright, I'll give them a chance to respond. It's my, I'm up
[04:34] next anyway. So I'm PosterAnonymous. I've been on this server since about April of
[04:41] 2012. Right now I'm working in the Mesa Biome south of Spawn. There's a smaller
[04:50] island off the coast that I'm wanting to build a community, mainly looking for
[04:56] like Mesa Biome themed homes. So like those older Adobe homes that you see in
[05:01] New Mexico and everything else, pictures. I've started one on the coast and
[05:07] honestly right now I'm just gathering random supplies. I don't necessarily need
[05:12] anything. I would ask that if you're going to come over and try to get hard
[05:16] and clay, please hollow out the mountain. Don't just shave it off the sides
[05:20] because we're trying to keep the Mesa Biome looking as unique as it does
[05:25] right now. Next up, Reepin. Maybe. Precisely. Okay, Reepin. I guess Reepin's AFK.
[05:45] Robo, go ahead. Hello, my name is Robo Robodrom. Any version of however you want
[05:53] to pronounce my name. I'm generally the guy you will find falling off everything.
[05:57] I'm falling to my death. I'm also effectively in charge of DOT, Department
[06:02] of Transportation. Basically, I'm the one who's built that massive road around
[06:08] Leeville and doing that sort of project. So basically, I don't need anything.
[06:14] If you want to continue a road, go right ahead. We've got the rough standard
[06:18] is five across with a cobbled edge stone brick in the middle with
[06:24] pumpkins every four three blocks and then a pumpkin with I think we're
[06:31] trying to get tunnels to be around three to four in height so horses can go
[06:35] through. If you want to build a road, go right ahead. I will not be able to
[06:41] build every road anyone wants. So it's sort of like a bit of a free-for-all, build
[06:47] a road however you like. So that's me. Thank you, sir. Next up, we've got SW.
[06:57] Hello everybody. SW-Fan85. I kind of just came in so I don't really know what everybody
[07:04] else has been talking about. Basically, sorry. Basically, we're just doing an
[07:09] introduction. Maybe talk about how long you've been playing on the server, any
[07:13] projects you're working on, and if you need any items, just give us a
[07:17] heads up. Well yeah, I've been playing since about October 2012. Just now
[07:24] starting to really get into working on more of the community stuff. I do have a
[07:30] small little specialty potions place out in the swamps east of Eureka. I'm also one
[07:39] of the biggest projects I'm working on is I'm trying to help out Robro there by
[07:42] building out some of the road infrastructure out on that southwest part
[07:47] of the map. So if you're willing to help out, just let me know. Cool. And
[07:53] up next is the person's name that I always butcher. Uekatri. Am I right? Does
[08:02] her mic work? Okay, we'll cut up. Her mic is iffy. Okay, so we'll come back to her
[08:10] maybe. Protovan, or Vander Protowski. Hello, I am Vander Protowski. You can call me
[08:17] Protovan as a poster has affectionately started calling me. I am known in real
[08:21] life as Roy Curtis, and I joined Twitcraft and Minecraft proper last
[08:26] summer in June, July time. At the moment on the new map, I'm working on
[08:32] converting an island, a sandy island in the southeast ocean to a sugar farm. So
[08:38] as a result, I have a lot of glass and sand and sugarcane to give out. If
[08:46] anyone just feel free to ask any time, I'm usually giving stuff away for
[08:50] free. And I'm still not done with the project. I prefer to keep a solo
[08:56] project, but when it's done, you'll be public. You can come in, get sugar. And
[09:01] that should hopefully help with the books later on in the map's lifetime.
[09:08] Sounds good. Next up is a van, our moderator.
[09:13] Hey, so I feel weird calling myself Vantas, but real names want not
[09:18] Vantas. Real names Ben. So if you want to call me Ben, that's fine. If you need
[09:23] help with anything, just message me. Someone grieve to the slash mod req and
[09:28] we'll try to get to it pretty quick. If you need lava plays, feel free to
[09:33] message me in game or in chat. I'm happy to help. Thanks.
[09:40] Alright, and I kind of realized I don't know if I introduced myself.
[09:43] I'm poster anonymous. Hey, up next is warrior box.
[09:51] Good switch to my content. Hi, my is warrior box. I'm female. Most people
[09:56] think I'm male first before they meet me. I've been on the server since
[10:01] April of last year. Been on Minecraft about two years coming up, I guess.
[10:08] I am currently excavating a bit of extreme hills, which is people who
[10:12] know me know it's my habit to go inside the landscape rather than outside
[10:16] of it to the southeast near the modern town. Is that going to be called
[10:21] Eureka now? Yeah, the Southwest. Yeah. Modernapolis has been converted to the
[10:27] other east. Yeah. Yes.
[10:30] I'm currently extending the road past my property. I'm happy to help
[10:35] with the Department of Transport. If anybody needs help, but having
[10:38] heard from Robo, probably it's wherever you find a bit that needs
[10:42] roading. I'd like to help more with the community bills because I came
[10:46] into Twitcraft late when on the last map, everything had been done. So if
[10:50] anybody needs help with community building, I'd be very willing to lend
[10:54] a hand. Currently, I need a smooth stone to save my coal stock so that
[11:01] I can help with the roads. And that's about it.
[11:06] Very good. Up next, I don't know, weasel words. Do you have a mic? Are you
[11:11] able to talk?
[11:13] Hey, yeah. Hi, I'm weasel words. I've been playing on the server since
[11:18] summer last year. And
[11:22] at the moment, I'm a nomad just wandering around.
[11:28] All right. And Zog, are you at free? I see you're muted at the
[11:36] moment. Maybe you're having trouble.
[11:38] What about me?
[11:40] I'm coming back up.
[11:41] Okay, all right. I was talking.
[11:44] My name is Zogzer 11. I live by sci fi land. Cool. What I'm trying
[11:55] to do is make like a small settlement. Okay, and really help
[12:01] me from people live there.
[12:06] Okay, so if you're interested in living out in the desert, I'm
[12:09] assuming you're probably going to build with more of like a
[12:11] science fictiony theme to the houses. Yeah. So yeah, if you're
[12:16] interested in trying your hand at doing that, then talk to Zog.
[12:21] Okay.
[12:22] All right, let's see how go back up the list here. Maulisk, are
[12:28] you able to talk?
[12:32] I don't know if my microphone really works, but
[12:35] it's working somewhat, you can go ahead and go.
[12:38] Okay, well, I'm basically just colonizing the mushroom island
[12:42] and that's pretty much it. I only started playing when the map
[12:46] reopened. So
[12:49] very good. All right, Reppin. Now you can talk, sir.
[12:54] All right. My name is Reppin JC. And I just built that
[13:02] bridge that connected, you know, the Mesa to spawn land. And
[13:07] and so I'm plan to build other bridges to connect everything
[13:11] together, like we did on the other server. So I just like
[13:17] some help building bridges. And I guess making, you know, it
[13:26] more compatible instead of people trying to, you know, run
[13:30] for 10, 15 minutes just to get to their destination.
[13:34] I'll get in touch with you, Reppin.
[13:37] Okay.
[13:38] All right, we had a couple other people come in. Steven Keywin,
[13:42] do you have a mic?
[13:44] Yeah, I have a mic.
[13:46] Would you like to introduce yourself?
[13:48] Yeah, I'm Steven Keywin. I don't really play much on the
[13:54] map. But yeah, I have like a part in table. So I've got the
[13:59] craft part and minecraft done.
[14:01] Very good. TC Stitch, do you have a mic? You're free?
[14:06] Yes, I do.
[14:08] Would you like to introduce yourself?
[14:11] Well, I suppose so.
[14:13] Fair enough. Go ahead.
[14:15] All right. Well, my name is TC Stitch. I did briefly show up
[14:20] on the old server, but I just never really had time to do
[14:22] anything. And I was never much into the multiplayer stuff. But
[14:26] I decided I wanted to give this more of a go.
[14:28] Basically, like I've built a little house. Apparently, it's
[14:33] right next to DOT land. Not that I knew at the time, but hey.
[14:38] Well, good. Is there any projects you're working on or just
[14:42] doing the house right now?
[14:46] Well, I'm getting close to finishing up the land that I
[14:49] grabbed. I'm trying to keep it looking kind of like it did
[14:52] before, like I'm not just ripping it all down. But I
[14:56] would like to get into some sort of
[14:58] bigger projects with other people at some point.
[15:01] Okay, sounds good. Yeah, we're posting new projects on the form
[15:04] all the time. So if you want to jump in, feel free. All right,
[15:08] let's see. Uekatree, are you back on?
[15:14] Is this working? Yes, now we're here.
[15:16] Yeah, we can hear you fine. Cool.
[15:18] Okay, I am Uekatree, a name that was never meant to be
[15:20] pronounceable. So don't worry about getting it right.
[15:23] I am Uekatree, a name that was never meant to be
[15:28] I am currently working on expanding the road, because I
[15:32] like doing that. And I'm working on building a ranch out in the
[15:36] message that Mr. Anonymous was talking about.
[15:40] Very good. Anybody else that I missed?
[15:44] I believe Skyer Corp.
[15:48] Skyer. Yeah, you did hop in there. I didn't notice. I
[15:50] apologize. Please, Skyer, go ahead.
[15:53] Hi, I'm Skyer Corp. I've been playing since
[15:56] November 2012 on the old map. Mostly enjoy exploring. So I
[16:03] can't wait to see all the roads get built up and people start
[16:07] living near the road so I can see all the fantastic builds you
[16:10] guys will be creating.
[16:15] Very good. I don't think we missed anybody else, did we?
[16:21] Oh, I just had one question. What was Greg's thing he was
[16:27] talking about?
[16:28] What do you mean?
[16:30] Like if what you wanted to build or what wouldn't I have you?
[16:34] I just I'm here to help build. I don't have a project right
[16:37] now. I have a couple I have a couple ideas in my head that I
[16:40] haven't really worked out yet. Logistics wise, but so right
[16:45] now I'm here to help other people.
[16:46] Okay, all right. All right. What did Vantaz have anything
[16:51] that you said? Sorry, I was on the phone. It was a very
[16:55] important conversation.
[16:56] No, I was just, yeah, I just introduced myself and told people
[17:00] if they need help with anything, feel free to message me in
[17:02] game.
[17:03] Yeah, I also have everything recorded and it will be posted.
[17:06] So if you need to review any of it, it'll be up probably
[17:11] later tonight.
[17:12] Yep.
[17:15] Alright, then if anyone else needs help, just let me know
[17:17] because usually I get bored from time to time.
[17:21] Sounds good. Alright, I had up next on the topic of
[17:25] discussion, the future of dot the Department of
[17:28] Transportation. It seems like in the meantime, Robro basically
[17:33] got it started. Did you want to say anything about the
[17:37] Department of Transportation, Robro?
[17:40] Well, I don't know what to say exactly. I mean, it was started
[17:43] out with night flyer Linux, which on another people who
[17:47] daddy for the old daddy for and myself and Linux, which
[17:51] were the original do t and then I somehow took it over and
[17:55] went a bit crazy with whale networks. So I'm running on
[18:02] side just trying to get roads done and building the do t
[18:06] headquarters, which is the north east corner of the map.
[18:10] After that, I'll work on more roads and the other bits
[18:14] of projects other people are working on. We've set out the
[18:17] dot standard as far earlier on in this recording. I don't know
[18:25] what my plan for whale is since horses are a lot more
[18:28] prolific in this map. And so most people will have a horse.
[18:32] And so traveling is and with the spawns everywhere else, the
[18:37] need for a large rail network is less needed. I might think
[18:42] of something when the server gets a bit older. But if you
[18:45] want to build roads, just because there's bits of roads that
[18:49] are needed to expand, just expand away.
[18:54] What about instead of rails, like maybe horse trails? I know
[18:57] night flyers been doing that.
[18:59] Or else sounds cool. I've never had a major thought of how
[19:04] to implement them.
[19:05] Yeah, actually, I've done horse trails. Now I've done
[19:09] them to I run a small private server. And one of the
[19:14] features we've had is on our last map, we had a great horse
[19:17] trail that went from basically town, almost all the way out to
[19:21] the west end of the map. It was actually a really nice ride
[19:23] through the woods in different various biomes. Be happy to do
[19:26] it here. Of course, things get a bit dense here. So that that
[19:29] makes it challenging. But the idea is you don't have to
[19:32] pave it. You don't have to put anything down. The only
[19:34] thing we do is we clear the path. So there's no tall
[19:38] grass in it. We can leave it the regular grass. And then
[19:41] just mark it with fence posts with torches on top. And
[19:43] that provides enough light to make it safe. And you don't
[19:47] have to have them square. You can run them curves and what
[19:50] have you. So you know, once we kind of define where everybody
[19:54] is and where the different areas of the map are, maybe we
[19:58] can do something further on outside of town, out towards
[20:02] the edges or something.
[20:05] Yeah, maybe especially from one of the satellite towns, like
[20:08] Eureka or
[20:11] Yeah, we can connect the corner towns that way.
[20:14] Actually, yeah, that would be great. That would be better
[20:17] than what we were talking about on the last server doing a
[20:19] large highway that would circle around and use up a lot of
[20:22] resources.
[20:23] Yeah, because all you need is fence posts and torches. That's
[20:25] it.
[20:27] I like the idea that sounds lovely.
[20:29] I like
[20:30] Do you do you remember the for the horse trail we had
[20:33] Warrior Box on the old Midgard map?
[20:37] No, I never saw it.
[20:38] Never were. Okay.
[20:40] But I'd like to. I would like to see that and I'd like to see
[20:43] it here. It sounds like a great idea.
[20:45] Yeah, it's well lit. Yes.
[20:47] Yeah, and the nice thing is, if you're on a decent speed
[20:50] horse, even if there's mobs, you just blow right past them.
[20:52] They won't bug you.
[20:54] Okay, well, that's something that we can look into then.
[20:58] This next section I have is for basically general topic
[21:02] discussions. One thing that I wanted to bring up first
[21:06] was town halls. Normally for the newer players, we would
[21:10] have a town hall about once a month, where we would get
[21:15] together, we would talk in more depth issues like what we
[21:18] just discussed with horse trails and everything else.
[21:21] Also, if we had issues, we wanted to talk to a
[21:24] moderator about, we would bring those up.
[21:28] The times have been kind of conflicting for some people.
[21:33] The, for example, the person who started the town
[21:36] halls, Silly Chicken, he wasn't able to come tonight
[21:39] because he had to work. So basically, we're trying to
[21:43] find a way to get as many people involved as possible.
[21:47] And what I'm thinking we might need to do is maybe have
[21:52] a standard time like this where, you know, somewhere
[21:54] between four and six p.m. Eastern time on a Saturday,
[21:58] one month, and then the next month have a floating
[22:01] time. So maybe even during the week at like, you know,
[22:07] eight p.m. Eastern or something where players who can't
[22:11] come in at this time can meet up at that time and still be
[22:16] able to talk. Did anybody have any ideas or any
[22:19] alternate suggestions we could try for that?
[22:22] You could put them on the forums.
[22:25] Well, the after we're done, it gets posted on the forums
[22:29] and we encourage people to respond and add if they weren't
[22:32] able to attend. This is more for the live session,
[22:36] people who want to talk, but just aren't able to get here.
[22:39] Oh, you could do have everyone that wants to do it,
[22:44] create an account on Twitcraft and put in their email
[22:47] address and then you can send an email notification
[22:51] saying, Hey, you know, at this, at this time,
[22:54] we're going to have this meeting about this, that
[22:56] and the other thing. Yeah, I mean, that's something
[23:00] we can, yeah, we can look into that.
[23:03] But did anybody have any ideas for alternate times,
[23:06] even that would be more available for them, a little
[23:09] bit easier for them to get in here?
[23:15] Well, for me, since I'm starting college back up
[23:18] Monday, probably like Fridays and Saturdays, because
[23:25] those are the days that I don't, I don't have class.
[23:29] Yeah, I worked Monday through Friday too. So, I mean,
[23:33] yeah, some evenings I'm here and sometimes not, most
[23:39] weekends I am available, but obviously, you know,
[23:41] I have stuff going on too. So, yeah, that's a problem
[23:45] with a lot of the Council of Geysers. We work during
[23:51] the week, we, you know, aren't always free at the
[23:54] earlier times. Unfortunately, for example,
[23:56] Asimov, he actually has kind of an odd schedule.
[24:01] He's in bed right now sleeping, because he gets
[24:04] up and works really early in the morning.
[24:07] He has to go make the donuts.
[24:08] Yes, exactly. He's a baker. So, you know, people
[24:13] like that, if we had scheduled this meeting a
[24:15] little earlier, we could have gotten him in, but
[24:18] we wouldn't have been able to get in certain
[24:20] other players who weren't available until this
[24:22] time. So, it's one of those things that
[24:25] we're just going to have to play around and try
[24:27] to find a good time. After talking to chicken, I
[24:30] know he's wanting to do some of the town halls
[24:33] in the future. It's sounding like we might
[24:35] start a committee to actually handle it so
[24:39] that more than one person would be in charge
[24:41] of hosting if another person couldn't show up
[24:43] or more than one person, you know, scheduling
[24:47] wise would be involved. So, that is something
[24:50] that will be looked at in the future.
[24:53] Did we have any other topics of discussion that we
[24:55] wanted to bring up in the issues that you guys
[24:58] wanted to discuss?
[25:02] Not really.
[25:05] I like to discuss the rail system. I think we would
[25:07] greatly compliment the sci-fi land.
[25:13] Having like a little minor like a metro rail or
[25:16] something in that area, you mean?
[25:18] Yeah.
[25:20] Yeah, I mean, in that area, I don't think it
[25:22] would be a bad thing. My issue with the rail
[25:25] system personally is once horses came into
[25:28] play, you didn't need a long rail system going
[25:31] all the way out to the next town or whatever.
[25:37] I just had an idea. That bridge that I just
[25:41] built, you can build enough room under it
[25:45] for a rail system. But I was just thinking
[25:49] we could connect rail system to each city,
[25:53] each main hub, like I have a main hub at each
[25:56] city to where it's easier.
[25:58] Each city does have a hub.
[26:03] I mean, the problem was last, I mean,
[26:04] last since I built a large proportion of that
[26:08] rail network or we built it on the last
[26:11] server. Yeah, definitely, when the horses came
[26:14] into play since I had all the signed and
[26:18] by cells linked to my account, I definitely
[26:21] noticed a massive drop in uptake of using
[26:24] it, possibly on big like expanse of distance.
[26:29] Metro system would be quite nice.
[26:31] So people who aren't got any horses or things
[26:35] could just walk to that place and because
[26:37] it's a massive journey could take the
[26:39] rail network. But I don't think we really
[26:41] need a massive extent.
[26:43] Yeah, I think in maybe connecting the the
[26:48] five towns, the five main towns
[26:50] together. Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
[26:53] You know, I see, I don't I don't know if we
[26:55] need to do that, though, because now we do
[26:57] have a portal system and that's actually
[26:58] the next thing I was going to bring up that
[27:00] portal system will get you to any town
[27:03] significantly quicker. Now, once you get
[27:06] in that town, I could see if somebody starts
[27:09] a small community north of that town or
[27:11] whatever, having a direct rail that would
[27:13] connect from that town to that smaller
[27:16] community that's not linked with a portal.
[27:19] Yeah, I'm a huge fan of rail systems, but I
[27:24] don't see a big advantage to connecting
[27:26] the city. And if you feel a rail system,
[27:29] I recommend doing it underground.
[27:31] Absolutely. Impact and light the heck out
[27:37] of the tunnels. Please concur.
[27:41] OK, I know it would be something I would
[27:43] be desperately interested in doing.
[27:45] I love doing rail systems. OK, well, maybe
[27:48] when the map builds up some more, that's
[27:50] something that we could look into, looking
[27:52] at small communities that are starting up
[27:55] and building underground rails from those
[27:58] communities to one of the hub towns.
[28:02] Which is what I wanted to bring up next,
[28:04] actually, the hub towns seems like a lot
[28:07] of players are still building right around
[28:10] the main spawn of Neo Leoville or what
[28:13] I'm calling Neo Leoville, at least.
[28:16] There are other hub towns and it's very
[28:19] quickly, you know, they're very quickly
[28:21] accessible, I should say.
[28:24] So just any of you guys that are listening,
[28:26] there's nothing wrong with building.
[28:28] There's actually more land, more stuff
[28:30] to do, you know, where you can build
[28:31] more places out this way.
[28:33] So you don't have to stay hooked
[28:36] into that main spawn area.
[28:37] You can spread out.
[28:41] In fact, please do spread out so that
[28:42] we're not so densely packed in.
[28:46] You know, there's kind of a, it's not
[28:48] really a defined distance between
[28:50] builds, but reasonable distance between builds.
[28:54] So you don't have to build block to
[28:55] block next to your neighbor's fence.
[28:56] You don't have to squeeze and pack in
[28:59] so that you're the nearest to spawn,
[29:01] you know, stuff like that.
[29:03] That's why I live in the middle of an ocean.
[29:07] Yes, but we're not all hermits.
[29:08] So yeah, you know, some of us
[29:12] want to live near players, but we don't
[29:14] want to be as densely packed as night
[29:16] was saying.
[29:16] Yeah, right.
[29:17] Reppin found an air pocket, put a couch
[29:19] in it and said, Hey, I'm done.
[29:21] Exactly.
[29:24] So I was going to say, I bring up one
[29:26] point possibly for the mods in a sense
[29:28] of could we, is the possibility of
[29:31] having portals in the spawns to
[29:34] go to the different spawns.
[29:36] So you don't have to go into the
[29:37] lobby and then into another world.
[29:40] But that's an option.
[29:41] That's more of a topic for a town hall.
[29:44] Yeah, I know.
[29:45] I just thought.
[29:47] And I'm yeah, I told Van.
[29:49] We weren't going to beg and plead.
[29:53] Proto van.
[29:54] Did you said something you wanted to say?
[29:56] So yeah, I have a few topics.
[29:58] First off on the idea of spreading
[30:00] to the other towns, there was a nice
[30:02] idea raised last night on Mumble.
[30:04] If you guys do want to spread
[30:06] players around or spread awareness,
[30:08] do drop parties.
[30:09] Say like you're going to offer free
[30:11] stuff at spawn, but don't mention
[30:13] which which spawn, which city, you
[30:16] know, like do events in different
[30:19] in the different hubs.
[30:20] See if that gets people circulating.
[30:22] You know, I got three diamonds
[30:24] in a guest here from that.
[30:26] Yeah, if it's actually not a bad idea
[30:28] or even say, Hey, in one of the
[30:30] hub towns, I put, you know,
[30:32] five diamonds in a chest or something
[30:35] and you have to figure out which one.
[30:38] Um, just talking about, like,
[30:42] um, like towns and stuff like that.
[30:45] Um, are there is there any is
[30:48] there going to be like any payment
[30:50] per month for people who have
[30:53] businesses?
[30:54] In other words, are we going to have
[30:56] a system similar to what we had
[30:57] with Leoville plots on the last
[30:59] map? Yeah, like tax per se.
[31:02] I don't know, to be honest with
[31:04] you, and that's more of a town
[31:06] hall question.
[31:08] So maybe I'm like I said,
[31:10] chicken and I have been talking
[31:12] and I think he's wanting to get
[31:13] with a couple other people as
[31:14] well to do a town hall within
[31:16] the next month or so.
[31:18] OK, um, so you'll probably
[31:21] have some more on that coming up
[31:22] here. Yeah, I think that if we
[31:25] do do like some tax that would
[31:27] increase the economy quicker
[31:30] than just, you know, banking.
[31:33] Yeah, yeah, not.
[31:34] I see. I disagree with that,
[31:36] though, because because with
[31:38] the with the Leoville plots
[31:39] thing, that sort of that went
[31:41] good for a little while, but it
[31:43] was people who had the money.
[31:45] Yeah. Well, like I said, this
[31:47] is this is probably something
[31:48] more that needs to be brought
[31:49] up at a town hall.
[31:51] Is there anything else that
[31:52] anybody would like to discuss?
[31:54] I would like to ask anybody.
[31:56] Has anyone seen an oscillot or
[31:58] a wolf yet on the new map?
[32:00] Yes, that's a question we
[32:01] had earlier. Negative have not.
[32:03] I have tamed a wolf.
[32:05] So I have a wolf. OK, so you've
[32:06] got one. They have a wolf.
[32:09] Well, yeah, because because a lot
[32:11] of us have not even seen one on
[32:12] the server yet. We weren't sure
[32:14] if there was something going on
[32:15] with spigot or bucket or
[32:17] something else. Can I go pet
[32:18] your wolf?
[32:21] Yes, we'll have it.
[32:23] We'll have a petting zoo
[32:25] set up later for you.
[32:27] Revenge.
[32:29] So anyway, did anybody else
[32:31] have anything else they wanted to
[32:32] discuss?
[32:33] I have a suggestion for maybe
[32:35] the individual towns.
[32:37] If you do sort of move out into
[32:39] the corners of the map onto
[32:41] those individual towns, that
[32:43] maybe they should have little
[32:44] town hall meetings between the
[32:45] main one and sort
[32:48] of grow community spirit
[32:50] between those people who are
[32:51] around those towns and then
[32:53] bring perhaps specific
[32:56] issues that are related to
[32:57] that particular corner of the
[32:59] map to the town hall.
[33:01] Just a suggestion.
[33:02] Yeah, that's actually a great
[33:03] idea.
[33:04] Once they start the community
[33:05] start building up that would
[33:07] be great.
[33:08] Maybe we could have games which
[33:09] have teams divided by the towns
[33:11] like trivia trivia could have
[33:12] teams from each town,
[33:15] basically like a pub quiz between
[33:16] the whole world.
[33:18] Yeah, that's a great idea as
[33:19] well. Hunger games.
[33:22] No, well,
[33:24] well, actually, I
[33:25] don't know. But yeah, no,
[33:27] not right now.
[33:28] Yeah, what's the PVP
[33:30] portal gets up and running?
[33:32] Yeah.
[33:34] All right, did anybody else have
[33:35] any other suggestions or
[33:37] anything they want?
[33:37] I guess I got something I want to
[33:39] add to that, though, for people
[33:40] who are here might realize it.
[33:42] But every town, every
[33:44] little town has everything
[33:46] that the main spawn has.
[33:48] The only thing that they don't
[33:49] have is the big
[33:51] the big building that's
[33:52] dedicated to the moderators.
[33:54] So I mean, everything has
[33:57] an end or an enchantment
[33:58] table, community chest,
[34:00] place where you can get your
[34:01] hunger filled up.
[34:02] So if that's your problem,
[34:03] don't worry about that.
[34:04] Just go go out and
[34:06] to all the O'ville and build
[34:07] build a shop or whatever.
[34:09] Yeah, go explore there.
[34:11] Like he said, all of the towns
[34:12] have shops.
[34:13] They have have everything
[34:15] that the main one does
[34:16] except for the big hall
[34:18] of moderators.
[34:18] So yes, please feel free
[34:21] to go out.
[34:23] All right, did anybody else
[34:24] have anything?
[34:26] Um, I'd like to
[34:28] suggest making a specific
[34:31] channel for meetings.
[34:34] Yeah, we did that before.
[34:35] Yeah, we've done that in the
[34:36] past. I just don't have, you
[34:38] know, full access to
[34:40] the Mumble server.
[34:41] So we just need to get with a
[34:42] moderator in the future to
[34:43] get moved into a separate room
[34:45] and all that.
[34:47] OK.
[34:49] And to be honest, though,
[34:50] with how this is right here
[34:51] where it says discussion three
[34:52] meet and greet, that's not
[34:54] a problem.
[34:55] Yeah, no, we can keep doing
[34:56] this. Yeah.
[34:58] As long as, you know, everybody
[34:59] who comes in here is mature
[35:00] and the ones who aren't, we can
[35:02] mute them and they can run
[35:03] their mouths all day long and
[35:04] nobody will hear in the
[35:05] recording.
[35:07] So yeah, I mean, as long as
[35:08] everybody is well behaved here,
[35:10] I don't think we necessarily
[35:12] have to do it, but it's
[35:14] possible that it could be done
[35:15] in the future.
[35:15] I agree. I mean, we have four
[35:17] channels here, plus
[35:18] the specialty ones already.
[35:20] So we could just pick any of
[35:21] these four and do what we
[35:23] need to do.
[35:23] It's kind of like available
[35:24] rooms in an office building,
[35:26] right? You just walk in and
[35:28] reserve it and use it.
[35:31] Precisely.
[35:32] Anybody else?
[35:34] One question about resource
[35:35] world, which I haven't yet
[35:37] used because the map is so huge.
[35:38] I feel a little
[35:41] more relaxed about mining.
[35:43] Scared. It used to be.
[35:44] It used to be the situation
[35:46] in the old map that we
[35:48] kept on mining, mainly
[35:50] in the resource world to spare
[35:52] the resources of the main world.
[35:54] Is that the situation here
[35:56] now?
[35:57] That's the same idea.
[35:58] Yes. Basically, if you're
[36:00] mining, please go to the
[36:01] resource world.
[36:03] Thank you for bringing that up.
[36:04] It's in the lobby.
[36:06] It's just a single portal off
[36:08] of the lobby. It's facing the
[36:09] rest of the portals to the
[36:10] main towns.
[36:13] You go in, go off a little
[36:15] ways and start digging.
[36:17] The only thing
[36:20] that may be of concern is
[36:21] it's an amplified biome
[36:23] and also
[36:25] the setting is hard.
[36:28] So no, there's no PVP,
[36:30] but the mobs can get you.
[36:33] That's the only downside to
[36:35] going over there. But honestly,
[36:36] I've gone there and harvested
[36:39] multiple stacks of hardened clay
[36:41] without a problem.
[36:42] It's it's not too difficult to
[36:44] do what you need to do over
[36:45] there.
[36:46] Yeah. And there is a nether
[36:48] path to the Mesa biome
[36:49] in the resource world.
[36:50] So if you want, you can go
[36:52] that way and harvest over
[36:54] there instead of just harvesting
[36:56] over on the Mesa biome and the
[36:57] main map and shaving off the
[36:59] land and making poster
[37:01] very upset.
[37:02] And having these poor people
[37:04] listen to me scream and yell
[37:05] and mumble about how somebody
[37:06] came in and ripped up my Mesa.
[37:08] Yeah.
[37:10] Even though technically it's not
[37:11] my Mesa.
[37:15] OK, did anybody have anything
[37:16] else?
[37:21] Reaping your flag.
[37:22] One thing I wanted to add is
[37:23] more of just remember
[37:25] we're trying to build a
[37:26] community here.
[37:26] So keep an eye out for your
[37:28] neighbors. If you see something
[37:29] going on at one of your neighbors
[37:31] builds that doesn't look right,
[37:34] you know, try to
[37:37] talk to a mod somebody just
[37:38] to find out what's going on.
[37:40] And, you know, hopefully that
[37:41] way we can keep the the griefing
[37:43] down.
[37:44] Yeah, be respectful of other
[37:45] players.
[37:46] Try not to do what Night Flyer
[37:48] said earlier about building
[37:50] right up against their property
[37:52] and, you know, over their
[37:53] property line even a little
[37:54] bit, you know, stuff like
[37:56] that.
[37:58] Gio just popped in.
[38:00] Gio, did you want to introduce
[38:01] yourself and maybe discuss
[38:02] anything real quick since you
[38:03] hopped on?
[38:04] Sure. Yeah, I'm Gio.
[38:07] I don't know. I just finished
[38:08] up a witch farm on the server
[38:10] and I don't know, working on a
[38:12] house.
[38:14] Not really much else.
[38:16] Very good.
[38:17] Did you have any topics you
[38:18] wanted to bring up that may
[38:19] not have been brought up
[38:20] already?
[38:22] Nothing I can think of.
[38:23] OK, very good.
[38:24] Did anybody else have anything
[38:25] they wanted to mention?
[38:27] I think D-Bag Jones has been
[38:29] left out on the introduction.
[38:31] He has.
[38:32] Can you unmute yourself?
[38:34] And I'm not sure.
[38:36] Did you have to change your name
[38:37] on actual Minecraft?
[38:40] No, he's still D-Bag Jones.
[38:42] Oh, OK.
[38:45] Then very good.
[38:46] D-Bag Jones, did you?
[38:47] Can you hear us?
[38:47] Do you want to say anything
[38:48] real quick?
[38:52] Oh, we can't hear you.
[38:53] We can't hear you, sir.
[38:56] No.
[38:58] We'll give him a moment.
[38:59] Is that better?
[39:02] Sorry, my mixer was turned off.
[39:05] Please go ahead, sir.
[39:06] I wasn't I wasn't here when you
[39:08] guys started.
[39:08] I'm sorry, I wasn't at home.
[39:10] I just introduced myself.
[39:11] My name is Steve and I get
[39:14] nothing else to bring up other
[39:15] than just to introduce myself,
[39:16] I guess.
[39:17] Sure. Are you working on any
[39:18] projects right now?
[39:19] Do you need any items or
[39:20] assistance from anybody?
[39:23] Not at the moment.
[39:24] I mean, just working on getting
[39:25] my new house built.
[39:28] Most of the way there, working
[39:29] on a barn.
[39:30] Cool. Very nice.
[39:33] All right. Did we have any other
[39:34] topics we needed to bring up?
[39:35] Oh, a community farm.
[39:37] Is there going to be a community
[39:39] farm built?
[39:40] There are several.
[39:41] Yeah, so I was going to say that
[39:43] depending upon your area and
[39:45] everything, there are some
[39:46] community farms built up
[39:47] already.
[39:48] Just keep an eye on the hub
[39:49] towns and maybe ask a player in
[39:51] game and they should be able
[39:53] to point you to one.
[39:54] OK. Yeah.
[39:55] And there are four people who
[39:57] don't know. There are melon
[39:59] farms on in some of the hub
[40:01] towns as well that are
[40:02] piston activated.
[40:04] To where you can go in there and
[40:05] you get usually about a stack
[40:07] and a half of melon to last
[40:08] you for a little bit.
[40:10] And also get you some seeds so
[40:12] you can start your own little
[40:13] private farm.
[40:16] All righty, guys, do we have
[40:17] anything else?
[40:18] Nope.
[40:20] Nothing I can do.
[40:21] All right. Then I think I'm
[40:23] going to close up our shortest
[40:25] meeting ever.
[40:26] All right. We're coming in at
[40:28] under 45 minutes.
[40:30] So thank you very much for
[40:31] coming.
[40:32] Keep an eye on the forum.
[40:33] We will get this posted up.
[40:35] Robo will get this posted later
[40:37] this evening.
[40:38] And also we will probably
[40:40] be announcing, I guess, it
[40:42] will be the next couple of
[40:43] weeks, Town Hall
[40:45] for you guys. And that's
[40:46] where we get to Nagvan and
[40:48] Asimov and anybody else who
[40:50] will listen.
[40:51] So thank you for coming.
[40:53] Appreciate it.
[40:54] And if you have any questions
[40:55] or anything, feel free to ask.
[40:57] Talk to you guys later.
[40:59] Thanks for organizing it.
[41:00] Post it. No problem.
[41:01] Thank you very much.
[41:02] Thanks, poster.
[41:05] Goodbye.
