2300: *crickets chirp.*
2314: People start joining.
2315: Valiens announces the meeting and recaps its purpose.
2316: He puts Cira on the spot, we circle back.
2317: Mecharius brings up the issue of major factions taking over player-owned planets.
2318: Major factions working with minor factions/individual players when they take over the latter's planets is discussed.
2319: Conclusion: checking the roleplay discussion forum to see what's going on in planets one roleplays on is encouraged.
2322: Aria asks about rebellions/invasions and how they're judged (i.e. judging story over duel wins - the former lets people avoid duels altogether and still win, the latter lets people powerplay/godmod and still win).
2329: Conclusion: staff is looking very closely at how invasions/rebellions are judged to avoid unfair results, and when rebellions are reenabled they will focus on getting factions to work together rather than against each other.
2330: Pyrrhus asks about the recent codex contests (have people joined? why/why not?)
2331: Aria says she doesn't really see the advantage personally (i.e. writers not wanting fleets/hyperlanes/dead planets or the subsequent prizes), and Faith agrees with this.
2331: Mecharius says he wasn't aware of the contests.
2332: Faith asks about recent dominion changes/suggestions.
2332: Valiens says that staff is talking about new rules regarding making dominions easier (speeding up dominions, removing tiers, etc).
2333: Conclusion: wait and see, fun stuff is coming soon.
2334: We talk about who should get member of the month (criteria: members who are active/show initiative/are helpful around the board).
2337: Conclusion - you can see the new MotM after the call.
2338: Cira talks about upcoming template updates (armor/vehicles).
2338: Cira talks about how major factions are subbing flagships/how this could lead to SSD rules and templates being implemented.
2339: Mecharius asks about radium/superweapons.
2340: Graf (I think?) asks about the recent discussions regarding judges doing secondary approvals,
2340: Cira talks about why this change isn't being implemented yet (many judges are relatively new, often RPJs do catch stuff judges missed when they do secondaries).
2345: Graf asks abut rebellions again.
2346: Valiens repeats the previous discussions.
2347: Graf asks about how often factory staff look at judge applications.
2349: Graf asks about what the hell we have social media buttons for.
2351: Aria asks about the edited by line and why it's no longer optional
2353: Conclusion: It's in case people's posts get reported and they try to edit the reported content out.
2354: Mahet talks about the recent codex contests:
- The Dead Planet Contest overshadowed the Great Hyperlane Contest
She plans to run it again in the future.
- Codex judges are suggesting having major factions work together regarding hyperlanes.
[*]She's also planning something sekrit.
[*]Reminds that she is always open to ideas from anyone.
2355: The question of upcoming events is raised.
2356: Valiens talks about how staff is talking about smaller monthly events (big events such as Omega can be done but take *a lot* of commitment).
2357: Aria asks about what happened to Friday Night Roleplays.
2358: Answer: nobody was starting the threads, people aren't really into speed roleplay due to timezones and people preferring to write long posts.
0000: Valiens suggests that there needs to be more reward/more at stake (i.e. Omega had prizes, invasions/rebellions have a lot of hype)
0001: Valiens suggests that rewards could be non-faction-related to take out the element of drama that invasions and rebellions have.
0003: Cira talks about new restricted/unique technology being used as rewards for factory contests (i.e. that you can't get anywhere else)
0005: Graf asks to be supreme admin of the board.
0006: DENIED.
0007: End of chat.
