[LVS] January 24th, 2015 pre-meeting agenda

[ProducerDanny]

I have just seen a post by Harris on the the suggestion forum saying he has lost two of his horses. I was voted that non-zedlings would not be able to use horses during our meeting. Is that still the case?

[Zedwick]

Hey Zed, I imagine that this has been brought up before, but what if the warp area was extended so that there were more warps? Or, what if one of the warps was a warp to a zedling only "warp hall" of sorts that held all of the phased-out warps? This way warps wouldn't have to be retired and fade into oblivion.

The warps are intended for new players primarily, the Zedling warps were only intended to be temporary to ease them into being retired to Nether Hub only access. As Zedlings can still access these locations through the Nether Hub, I do not feel maintaining a large number of them as warps is necessary.

[It] was voted that non-zedlings would not be able to use horses during our meeting. Is that still the case?

Sorry, I have not implemented that system yet. Will do so soon.

Danny As I'm a Guardian does that mean I am not female, or not on the Council?

Hi.

It's a 50-50% chance I will/won't be on for the meeting, so I'm posting this as an apology if I'm not online for the meeting.

Hoping I'll be there, and if I am, I'm happy to be scribe for the meeting.

Danny As I'm a Guardian does that mean I am not female, or not on the Council?

It was in response to there being no female Zriends, and the use of it suggesting it to be a male dominated server. No offence was meant.

[ProducerDanny]

Because my voting thing was long and I'm not there to explain it, I will summarise it quickly.

What will most people on the server do because of this change, and how will it affect them?

Vote for 2 people they want to represent them once every 3-6 months. Just means posting two names on a forum post quarterly/ semi-annually.

That's it. No fuss, no real hassle.

Will there be much hassle for the server and it's players?

None what-so-ever. The only "hassle" will be done my me and hopefully a lovely team of helpers.

What will Danny (and maybe a team of helpful lovely people) do?

Figure out who lives where to decide on who people can vote for.

That's all really... just takes a while and is tedious.

How big will the council be?

The Same size. 20 people.

So what's different?

There will be small "councils" that represent warps and areas, that make up The Council. It will also be voted for by the whole server, a bit like the Forest Hills Warp Mayor elections were.

Why should we bother changing?

People wanted a fairer system to elect council members. Not only that, but calls for more female representatives mean a "fairer" voting system would help to cement that.

[b]So basically, all there is to it is we vote for 2 people, and our votes mean people help to decide how the servers run?[/b]

Yeah. Something like that.

Then why didn't people like the idea on the forum post?

I explained it in detail and didn't summarise it... so here is the summary... ta da!

I'm a bit confused by the voting thing. Who are we voting for?

This is why I made the forum post. It explains it all in detail. You vote for two people who are running for the council, and those votes count big time.

I want to know more about it.

THEN READ MY FORUM POST! If you're still confused, just pm me. I will be able to answer all pm's on here at about 4/5pm before the meeting where it's decided.

Memery will talk on my behalf.

Hello Suzie,

If we have enough time to talk about the Spawn area (I have some ideas for it) would you like to try and fit it in?

Sorry everyone, something sprang up on me irl and I won't be able to attend this evening. D=
