Zedkins Seconds (22/07/2017)

[Jasmyn01]

Hi all! Seeing as it was only me and Zedwick at the start of the meeting (you slackers) I was appointed as the Director. So on we go with the seconds...


Spawn rates: Mob spawn rate settings to be reviewed "soon" and increased!

Difficulty levels: An idea arose regarding difficulty levels. There is no official plan for any of this to actually happen, so if you like the idea or have anything to add, please comment below and let us know! (hehe rhyme)
- The idea is basically to enable established players to find more of a challenge in their day to day surviving. This is for those of you who enjoy killing hordes of mobs (or in my case running away from or being killed by mob hordes).
- Possibilities involve:
Different regions equal different difficulties, with the harder difficulties only being added to regions without claims. Or having the difficulty increase the longer you are on the server/in a region the harder it gets.

Shopping: Make currency exchange rate more clear for all players to make setting up shops and trade rates stable and fair for all. One suggestion was to place a sign at the start of the zen market showing the current rate which is 20 iron - 1 diamond.

Donator Perks: Next there was a quick enquiry about donator perks and that you have to be zesty to name a region as there is no longer a seperate pack. Also mention of the perk /glow being fixed at "some point".

Region update: There is no official date yet. Summary of it: The regions post placement will be the same, but the way you interact with and travel between posts will change. This update will be installed during a normal server reboot. But is quite a way off yet as there is still coding to do so you have time to brace yourselves for the change!

New members voted in: Brenpop345 and MedicalSound welcome to the Zedkins ^_^

Zedkins rules and Regulations phrasing: As of the beginning of the meeting there were 9 active Zedkins members and after voting in Brenpop345 we realised the phrasing was unclear. So we agreed that this:

§1.2 If there are more than 10 active members, only 1 member may be voted in per meeting.

Should be rephrased to this:

§1.2 Only one new Zedkins member may be voted in per meeting unless there are less than 4 active members at the time of vote.

Zedwick's Announcements:

There will be a build-off on Sunday 30th July starting at 4pm BST and ending at 9pm BST which gives you 5 hours to build something awesome! The theme will be announced at the start.

On Sunday 13th August at 6PM BST there will be another Zedling UHC. Sneaky has won every other UHC event so far and won the last game. Meaning that this will be his off game so you have a chance to win!! Good luck to all who enter

The next meeting will be on Saturday 5th August at 8pm.

At the end of the meeting Zed also alluded to the idea his beard was actually a wig. Is it the truth or just a myth spread to keep us guessing Zed's true nature? I guess we will never know :O

Thank you for posting the Seconds and Directing!
I'm so sorry that I missed it... I fell asleep -.-

I updated the Rules and Regulations Post with the new members as well as the new rules.

I can't say I'm 100% happy with it, but I admit the previous wording was a bit mushy. The original reasoning behind that rule was to not having a situation of a lot of new members that join in one Zedkins meeting to then never turn up again, while permitting to keep numbers strong at the same time. As well as keeping the voting to a small affair.

And active members are any members on the list, not just present.

And for the shopping, there are no officially set currency exchange rates. that 20i-1d has been an established going rate with the old market plugin, but by far not been set in stone. Especially since the new plugin permits trade with every item, I don't see why there should be a set rate rather than just supply and demand.
Of course, someone could always open a non-profit exchange station... on their own merit.

Or is such a station wished to be officially supplied by Zedkins in Zen market?
Because otherwise, I don't see why Diamond or Iron shouldn't be treated like any other resource... just a very convenient trade resource.

Tries- No worries ^_^

Yeah everyone present was ok with voting them in. As there were 9 active members at the start we weren't if it was still ok. So decided rewording was the best idea.

Ah fair enough, it was anything set in stone just a rough guidance as obviously a lot of shops use that rate. But it was made clear other items could be used too It was just to keep things relatively stable. We can always discuss shops next meeting to clear anything up.


Brenpop - it is good to have you

Mellori - yeah I can't wait aha. I love the build-offs ^_^
