- ---------------------
- Our Meeting Recap for October 22th Teamspeak Meeting, 2010.
- General News
- - TheOneSin has been honorably demoted from Head Administrator to Controller. We thank him very much for his service as a Head Admin.
- -Taking is place is the mighty Deadl0ck! Deadl0ck has been promoted from Controller to Head Administrator! We wish him luck, prosperity, and......[insert item here].
- -It is our regret to inform that PandaBear has been demoted from Build Server Head Controller to Build Operator. We thank him for his service he has done to our Community as an HC.
- Then, the very serious and important thing. We are lacking funding for our servers. (Mostly cos TO lost his job.) We currently have enough money for one more month. After that... Who knows.
- At risk currently are Teamspeak, TNT, Lava, and the forums. SMP is hosted offsite by Jabjabjab, and Zombie and build are hosted offsite by GmK. ( a big thank you for them for paying the bills for those servers.) We ARE looking for a way to get donations in, unfortunately Jabjabjab was unavailable during the meeting for discussing the possible usage of his SMP paypal, TO has an argument with paypal (which means he can't have an account), and San00b already has a paypal account for other buisness enterprises he has. If you have any suggestions, by all means, contact San00b.
- There should be some money from the ads coming in, but that'll be at the end of the month, and there seems to be some kind of issue with that as well. Meanwhile, please do click any ad you see that looks intresting to you... but keep in mind, don't click just for the same of clicking. That will get us in trouble.

- Added a rule on bots to the end of the rules list, they are now strictly forbidden.
- Build staff that are waiting for operator status on the forums will be given it post-meeting.
- We have called off blowing up our 1:1 mockup of parliament because sadly its not, really a viable option (with many thousands of blocks of tnt needed to take it down).
- Metropolis has started however in future weeks i will delegate more power gradually to powers, the goal is to have it as the first player-run map by Christmas. - Link to main page (and the relevant forum) is http://forums.theonemcft.com/showthread.php?tid=1438
- Lawl has added the sexiest feature ever, that being Capture the flag. We’re just going to take a bit of time prodding to see how much memory it uses, but we hope to be able to bring you CTF maps soon!
- On the rebound however, Lawl has also introduced a swathe of errors which means most commands have a miniature chance of crashing the server, this isn’t lethal thanks to the autorestart script but, we hope it’ll be patched soon.
- A small note to inactive operators: http://7tattoo.files.wordpress.com/2010/...=500&h=400

- IntensiK has been promoted to controller!
- Forums were down for quite some time (approximately a day) but now, obviously, they're back up! Hooray!
- 10-day Christmas countdown of FAP! Still looking for guest DJ's; you don't need experience, you just need a voice, music, microphone, and the ability to not to be interrupted by people.
- GmK is still gone for the weekend, and san00b will also kinda-sorta be gone, so this should be interesting. Good time to test the stability of the servers.
- We also have a new bug tracker, so if you see a bug/glitch on the forums or in any server, please report it! It's helpful!

- TNT Server News:
- News: Fairly slow week. Couple of new commands added for various ranks. Few bug fixes, auto-server restart inputted (thank god). Bounties are new this week; you can set them on players and who ever kills them gets points for it. Also if you get angry, you can now /ragequit

- Unsuccessful OP trial: Namelesshero (Back to trusted)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SMP Server News:
- Trusted and op are back from being vip now; Ranavalona and MindCrafty went through the vip list and chose who'd be trusted and who'd be op, BUT they overlooked the fact that some are in Aussie timezone so they're going to go back through and change it; they'll let you know when that happens.
- Ranavalona can't do anything with the commands to promote at the moment because GmK gave him the wrong commands so he has no idea whatsoever on how to promote.
- Mobs are added, and can spawn! Yay. To add onto that, mobs don't hurt you if you're within a town or a safe zone that you purchase; spawning above ground is messed up and they don't spawn too much. It's weird, and we have no clue why it happens.
- Portals and warps have been changed. It now costs 20 coins to use /warp or /wp, and it costs 7 coins to use a portal because the HC's are trying to ween you guys off of using those commands 'cause they want to encourage the use of the unfinished (but will be finished at some point) railroad, but they won't be taken away yet, so don't worry.
- There's a poll in the announcements section; please fill it out and give your opinions on those questions. It would be great if you could.

- This was the week of the fix on TNT. MANY bugfixes and improvements to the server in order to make it more stable and less buggy. This has worked brilliantly and we are running very smooth now. As well as that, we have had a MAP PURGE and removed 27 maps from the server. Along with this, there is a new map rotation system as well as /map displaying the map's creators.
- Top 20 points are going well, it's becoming very competitive and lots of changes up and down the scale. For all (active) staff on TNT, I have rewarded 5k points as Christmas is a lovely time for giving back, however little it may be. Christmas maps will be removed on 1st January 2011.

- The_phantom was promoted to SMP HC as well as IntensiK being promoted to Zombie HC. IF you hadn't already, give them a warm congrats.
- Deadl0ck reminds staff to inform everyone if they are
- active on others servers to let staff know. See here for details
- Also, everyone should remember that we have a chain of command for a reason. When a higher rank then you tells you how something should be handled, that's how you do it. If you don't know how to deal with something, ask around, go to a higher up. Don't go inventing rules. When you think the higherup is high on donkey droppings, go to someone else of the same rank, or one rank up. In short: Ask if you don't know how to handle something, and follow directions by higher staff.

- Pretty slow week on the TNT server. Some bugfixes as always, some feature testing which went on during the week. We have a lot of preset items that can be added to maps to make the more interesting. These include pulsars, fire, deadly lava and many more. More are listed in the thread about them.
- There is something we are in the beginning processes of planning. This will be for high rollers and will cost more than your average weapons. One time purchase and eternal glory as a tough, TNT enthusiast. If all goes ahead, once it's out, you'll see the top 20 points holders drop as they all rush to buy one or multiple. Still in the pipeline, so hold tight for further news on it.

- Working smooth, Deadl0ck has been stress testing, aka, multiple nukes.
- If you get banned, your terms for unban may include points, upgrades and / or inventory wipe.
- Should someone be taking an exploit to gain masses of points via unintended feature or flaw, it is very likely all of your stuff will be removed. Try not to lose your zombie upgrade, as it has already happened.
- Various bugfixes and improvements this week on top of that, including an anti-spawnkill feature.
- Something big is coming around the corner.
- Promotions extend to ODer and Toco_Toucan to Operator, and Matt_Allen has been promoted to Trusted.
- Warnings extend to Valz and Scotty12345 for failing to read the voting form properly, X__x, Vatumok, JTTorso and Groudon1252 for inactivity, Groudon1252 for forum commitment (DOUBLE WARNING, NOT GOOD) and UltimateBudgie for not voting.
- There are no demotions this week.
- For banning Operators, use /banb unless you intend to do a nameban. /ban only gets the game and /banb gets the name and IP. Offline bans do not get the IP so you will have to /ip them and then /ipban the given IP.
- You can be lenient to an extend but discipline is needed. The general structure is Warn, Kick, Kick, Ban, but will change depending on the situation and on the individual case.
- Six warnings, four kicks and then still being reluctant to ban is a bit too lenient.
- You have the ability to ban, use it. If the ban was incorrect, it will be appealed.
- For trusted, the forum is an important place. Take part in it frequently, such as responding to threads, looking at apps through google docs and expanding ideas on appeals. Also, vote. And when you vote, read the voting system properly. It's got big red text to help you out.

It'll aid in more efficient staffing of the server as well as giving a stronger base for future of TNT Wars. The TNT server was down for a total of 24 hours or so this week due to a problem in coding. Destroyerx1's bad coding late at night, but still tell him he's doing an excellent job.

- When it comes to dealing with problems, and doing ban appeals, follow the example of Wooffus. She posts pictures of logs (new policy) and the scenes of crime. Keep up the good work Wooffus! ~Deadl0ck; this is encouraged in all servers.
- Policies to be aware of:
- 1; Stupidity policy, asking admins to see buildings.
- 2; Formation of large groups/alliances. Bear in mind that administration is a government. Sub-government within government coalition of towns etc, is highly discouraged. Don't do it, please, or Phantom will frown at you. There will be one huge city.
- To clarify, new map is coming end of March. People cannot help in the city. Phantom's doing it.
- 25th March 'thing' is invalid.
- No promotions or demotions this week.

- We have now had 50k INDIVIDUAL people log in! 50,000!!!
- Tournament is still ongoing, drawing close to the semi-finals (last 16)
- Command hunt is still unfinished, but we have people close. And close to raging so hard they burst every damn artery in their body.
- Store price changes! Laser is now 25 points, rocket 15 points and mine 20 points.
- Zombies have been removed. And their upgrade. Certain players who had many tens of thousands of points were abusing certain weapons' abilities and making new players have no chance in surviving games when the older players were achieving over 100 kills.
- Refunds will be given to all zombie inventory owners and all zombie upgrade owners if the change is made permanent. For now, you're deprived of about 25,000 points.
- The mine upgrade has been bumped up from 9k to 25k, and your original 9k was refunded. So if you still feel the price tag is worth proxy mines, go ahead and dish in all your points.
