Apologies, but I will traveling back from vacation on that day, so I will not have a reliable enough connection to attend the meeting.

Ooh! Oooooh! I got one!

It's a bit of a multi-layered topic... which is a lot considering we haven't had any topics on the pre-agenda for some time!

I'd like to talk about voting - how important it is and how we should probably fix a few things about it.

To start with, I currently know of 10 voting sites on which LVS is listed (all will be linked below) and the !vote command only shows 7 of these. To make matters weirder, only 6 of those show up when you vote.

I have a few issues with voting, one of which is quite simply not many people are voting for LVS; this does not exclude myself. I have no excuse for not voting and I probably should be doing so - and I will do so after typing up this thread. Voting can have a nice impact on LVS by bringing in new players looking to find a server for the current version of Minecraft - if you love LVS then vote for us!

Additionally, a lot of the sites show LVS listed for 1.14.4, not 1.15.2. This could have a negative effect on players searching for a new server to play on in the current version of the game. I think at the very least all of these websites should be updated to reflect what version we're currently on.

Lastly, and finally, it would be very nice if we could update some of the banners and/or descriptions for LVS on these sites as they are a bit dated. This is a minor thing, but one that could definitely make us look more appealing, and I think there are some people (including myself) who would be willing to write up a new description.

If you want a list of all of the LVS voting sites that I could find, here are all of them:

Hello everyone!

I too agree with ABP, I think it is very important to update the descriptions and banners of LVS on these voting sites to make the server look more alive and current! I would be more than willing to submit a couple ideas of my own for a new description.

New players are the life blood of LVS, and it seems like there haven't been as many joining. I would love to update these to make LVS more appealing to newbies!

Also, I have an announcement: Iron Falls, the public iron farm near Riverbend's Nether Portal, is now fully repaired and updated! Anyone is welcome to go grab iron from the output chest in the falls, and afk for more!

I will unfortunately be unable to discuss these in person, I will not be able to make the meeting tomorrow, so I must apologize .

Hope y'all are all staying safe and healthy! Have a soopr day!

Woooo topics being posted in the pre-agenda!

Will also not be in attendance, getting a sibling out of dodge ahead of the apocalypse.
Have fun

Lost track of time. My spare room where I play Minecraft is still being built so I won't be able to come on. Apologies?
