Normally I'd just post this in the News and Rules sub-forum for the clan, but there's some things here involving the site as a whole as well. Now, I WAS going to have a meetup in-game, but then I asked myself, "Why am I trying to have site meetups in a game not even everyone has at a time not everyone can make?"



Don't get me wrong though. It would be much faster to have this meeting in some sort of chat, but with all our disparate timezones, it's just too much. Even further, I was talking about using the forum anyway for official business. Why am I not doing that? So, here we go.

This is how we'll do this. I'm going to list specific questions and people will simply post their answers here. Nothing complicated. You can add more or less if you like, though more discourse is definitely encouraged, so if you have a different suggestion, idea, or complaint, please put it here as well. KEEP IN MIND, IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT HERE, YOU DO NOT HAVE A SAY.

Sanctuary Site
Q1: Do you have any complaints or suggestions regarding the site?

Sanctuary Minecraft Server
Q2: Should the server be online or offline? Look here for an explanation of what both entails. Currently, we are offline. Keep in mind, if we do do offline mode, we will have to clear every single person that wants to play on the server.

Q3: What mods would you like to see written for the server? Currently, a mod to add a limited command that allows non-admin players to teleport is in the works. Also, a mod to make hostile mobs appear in Peaceful but not attack unless provoked.

Q4: Should mods be server-side only or require clients to have the mods as well? The former means anyone can connect, but any mod that requires assets is off-limits completely. The second gives much more freedom in what we can mod, but everyone connecting must also have the same mods installed.

Sanctuary Clan
Q5: Would you rather we host a tournament for Unreal Tournament 2004, ElDewrito (Halo 3), or Minecraft? No matter what game it is, there will be a small cash prize for the winner.

A1) No complaints

A2) N/A. I don't play Minecraft

A3) N/A but I've heard Tekkit is good.

A4) N/A

A5) I've been filling up my weekends a lot lately, but I do love UT2004 (if it works). Cash prize doesn't change any incentives for me.

A: Nope.

A: Preferably offline, but since the newest versions are finicky that way, it might not matter.
Q3: What mods would you like to see written for the server? Currently, a mod to add a limited command that allows non-admin players to teleport is in the works. Also, a mod to make hostile mobs appear in Peaceful but not attack unless provoked.
A: I haven't dabbled in MC mods yet.
Q4: Should mods be server-side only or require clients to have the mods as well? The former means anyone can connect, but any mod that requires assets is off-limits completely. The second gives much more freedom in what we can mod, but everyone connecting must also have the same mods installed.
A: Might be easiest to do a server-side only, but that depends on if there's some really good one otherwise.
Q5: Would you rather we host a tournament for Unreal Tournament 2004, ElDewrito (Halo 3), or Minecraft? No matter what game it is, there will be a small cash prize for the winner.
A: Since I probably wont enter the contest with those games, it's a moot point to me.

Q1: N̶o̶t̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ Actually a way to upload images directly from desktop or mobile could be nice
Q2/3/4: You already know my opinion
Q5: I'm going to go Halo just because I already have it. Though I'm curious what kind of Minecraft competition you have in mind? Prize incentive doesn't matter to me

Q1: All fine by me
Q2: Offline if you actually want the people with pirated versions to be able to play, otherwise I don't mind.
Q3: An actual working teleporter is something I'd like to have, this work nicely if you don't have admin. Otherwise idk about other MC mods.
Q4:I like it when its server side since it helps with not having to download 60 million mods to be able to even join, unless its a mod that's really needed and there is no other choice but to get it individually.
Q5: I'd rather play some Halo, it has been a while. Cash prizes are not really necessary imo.
