I can think of a lot of projects you started, but, could you remind me which ones you actually finished?
I was referring to my post on page.. 2? That was the page in the old MC forums, before they shortened the post-per-page limit.
Like by diamond bridge, and my massive diamond rollercoaster. And some other stuff I built recently includes a massive skyscraper. :smile.gif:
Plus, I have my Nether Job that I need to do. I can't just apply and get accepted and then never do the job. That's just S.A.D.

You also can't apply, get accepted, take on projects, fail to complete them, and then go off and start a new clan without consulting the staff from your current one.
We don't have a clear policy on our members joining other clans, but it should be common sense that you would discuss with us your intentions outside of the clan, as they will almost definitely conflict with your involvement here. Also, for the sake of information, while it isn't technically against the rules to be a member of another clan, we maintain our level of expectations from our members either way.
Feel free to reapply properly if you'd like.

I'll be attending college in the Fall semester, and at this point in time, I don't know how much time it's going to take out of my life. I'm trying for high level degrees in masonry and welding, so wish me luck, on the long road ahead.
I'm not leaving the clan or quitting minecraft, in fact, minecraft may actually be a very useful tool in these fields!
I only want to advise all of you that I may not be on as regularly as before. I really just got tired of seeing "customer service" or "cashier" job openings in my town. With the skill set I'm going to be learning there will always be a need for me, and I can travel!

That sounds exciting! Keep us posted on how things are going! I'm sure we'll see you in game, maybe not as much, but we'll look forward to still having you around from time to time.

My being inactive and my responsibilities in limbo helps no one and sets a poor standard for the clan, though I still can't foresee becoming as active as I was before anytime soon, so I should just cleanly step away from all my responsibilities on the server so it can be handled properly rather than being a conglomeration of disorganized uncommunication.
EDIT: I've talked to an0 and he's convinced me to hold onto my admin position for now, but be warned that I won't be highly active. I'll still be setting standards and making sure they're kept, and doing any higher-level stuff that needs doing, but direct involvement in the day-to-day stuff on skytreasure is going to leave my plate for the time being.
Soveign's Corporation is now For Sale
Next, I'm going to sell Soveign's Corporation and all its holdings. This includes:
Soveign's Corporation Main Office, at Corporate Way 03, Capital City
Capital Diamond Trades, at Golden Mall 02, Capital City
Winnendale 02, currently a half residence/half smelter occupied by TheAndyPandy
Soveign's Corporation Warehouse 01, at Winnendale 03, Capital City
Soveign's Corporation Mineshaft 01, in the Celestial Wastelands
Ascension Logging Trades, in Ascension Town
Stock of note includes 14,000 cobblestone, 10,000 smoothstone, 3200 glass, 1000 snow blocks.
All other current stock, including in warehouses
Any other materials found in the warehouse at the Celestial Wastelands Shipping Station (as far as I know, it's all Soveign's property atm)...I think there's a few tons of gold ore in there.
I'd like to sell Soveign's Corporation to someone who has a medium economic standing on the server. I don't want to sell to someone who already has a large company and plenty of money, but not to anyone super brand new to the server, as they should have some sense for our economy. I will ask a total of 5,000 Aero for the items listed above, but payable at 1000 per month or 250 per week if necessary. Alternatively, people can buy the items on the list peacemeal, each negotiable (but probably a lot more expensive than the bundle)
Rene, we need to get the DPR running more smoothly, but I know you're busy with nether stuff. Might you concede some of the responsibility to someone you appoint, or perhaps hire some people to be put in charge of getting the DPR running?
Next, my main project for the next week is going to be putting together a advertisement video for SkyTreasure. I'll accept ideas and input, but for the first one, I'll make all end decisions--as the executive producer, if you care to label it as such. Until someone offers, I'll plan on doing all planning, filming, and editing myself, and if someone offers before I actually do so I'll adapt to allow people some room on the project.
But we're going to have a schedule, and here is how it's going to go. All times will be the vicinity of US time zones.
By Friday night,
Shot list finalized
I'll have fraps and video editing software installed
By Saturday night,
All shots taken
By Sunday night,
Basic edits, clips, and transitions done
By Monday night,
Annotative edits done
Posted for review
By Wednesday night,
Final version released, at which point I (and I only for now) will post it where and as I see fit.
So, I'll leave it at that for now in case someone wants to jump in on it. I'll be formulating the shot list tomorrow night, and I won't be waiting for anyone. If you want to help, jump on board now.
Hi i would love to join your server, treasures in the sky. I have been playing minecraft for a while now and i think it is a lot of fun and think i could build some cool things in your server. ps my name is waldo1478.

I am planning to buy a house in the Capitol. It is Ura District 02 for 400 Aero. How should I handle this transaction?
let a mod know in-game, they can manage a transaction. If there are no mods on and you really want to start building, I suppose you could post here that you're buying it, then run /money pay capital 400, but mods can answer any questions you have about lot boundaries and restrictions (if not, they can send the question to me).
-[1]- As morsmaestro has mentioned, he will not have the availability he once had for at least the foreseeable future, but will be maintaining his admin role with more focus on media and advertising. His more menial responsibilities will be delegated to others, and those who help take on some of these tasks are greatly appreciated.
-[2]- We are all anticipating the next beta release, and while it is imminent, remember that we are at the mercy of the Bukkit dev team, and also many plugin developers, who make a clan like ours possible. I expect our server to be running 1.7b next week, and that is assuming that Bukkit doesn't run into any major hangups, and that the plugins we use are updated smoothly and without serious complication.
-[3]- There are a few things I am waiting on from some members, and also a few requests. See below:
erickj92 - I would like to update the OP with as much of the Nether guidelines as you feel belong there. As we discussed a week or so ago, please provide me with that content so that new members reading the OP will understand our implementation of the Nether and how it is run, etc. I know the Nether is going to be a very attractive feature of this clan, so I want to make sure everyone knows about the great work you, René and others have done with it.
Father0wnage - If I understand correctly, you have been working on some high-res (and in some cases animated) 3D renderings of some of our city landmarks. How are those coming? I would love to see some progress here, and also I think morsmaestro would find them highly useful in his marketing campaign.
René - As morsmaestro mentioned earlier in the thread, the DPR needs some attention. I understand that you are responsible for a lot, and you're doing an excellent job, but can work on developing the best team possible for keeping the DPR fully operational and alive? I feel like I can count on you to make the decisions necessary and appoint the right people to handle the DPR responsibilities that you may not have time for.
All mods and project leaders - We are growing! This is good, but this also means that many of us have a lot of work to do. Sometimes it can be overwhelming, or simply become more than one person should be expected to do. I just had this discussion with a few other members and I'll repeat my thoughts here. Not only is it okay to delegate and offload some of your less-important responsibilities, it is expected! No one should feel stressed or overwhelmed here. There is plenty to do, but since that is the case, we need to make sure we develop teams for each project with clearly defined and documented rules and team goals.
Keep in mind that all mods and project leaders are more than welcome to recruit for their project teams! I strongly suggest creating a format for an application on the wiki, and we can add a link to it in the OP. Don't expect much if you simply submit it in a new post here, it needs to be in the OP where new members will see it and respond to it.
-[4]- I will be out of town from tomorrow (Friday) afternoon until Tuesday, or at least late Monday night. It is very unlikely that I will have internet access of any kind, though if I get an opportunity to check in, I will, otherwise with the exception of possibly this evening, I will talk to everyone when I return. As most of you have probably noticed, the server has been up (aside from maintenance reboots and scheduled updates) since day one, so I'm not terribly concerned with not being able to actively monitor it for a few days.
If anyone needs to get a hold of me while I'm gone.. well.. you can't. :blink.gif:
As an0 has said, the DPR needs some work. If you are on the server and need some work or a job to do, these will be available until all slots are filled. This information if available on the WIKI page, linked numerous times on the main page, however they will be updated here as well. There are two sections to the DPR, Municipal and National. There are however mingled officials that handle both sections. We need almost all of these positions filled! Below is a list of what is still available. If you would like a position, please PM me for the time being.
MUNICIPAL!
Municipal Manager- One position, handles all Municipal affairs.
Municipal Assistant Manager- One position, helps handle and schedule check'ins with municipal.
Real Estate and Building Regulation Officers- Two positions, report in on building codes and district codes.
Licensing and Advice Personnel- Two positions, gives advice on how to get a license, and general advice for business.
Shop Inactivity Regulators- Two positions, checks in on districts and shops.
Economic Watchmen- Two positions *must be a moderator*, keep tabs on corporations.
National
National Managers- One position, manages all National affairs.
Lending Agents- One position, handles loans and whatnot.
National Roadways Sector- One position, manages the roadways, hires contractors and pays people for their help.
Aesthetics Officers- Two positions, job actually is quite simple- somethings ugly, bring it to the chairmen or terraformers.
Terraformers- Two+ positions *part-time only*, re-claimed islands for re-selling.
Economic Growth Officer- One position *Must be a moderator*, watches all economic growth. Keeps tabs on where and when money comes in or out.
Nether License Sector- One position, helps people make the decision which license, if any, they should acquire.
Mingled Officials!
General Manager- One position, manages everything in the department.
Recruiter- Two positions, helps sort new people to their specific jobs.
Trainer- Three positions, trains people to do their jobs.
Schedule Director- One position, keeps tabs on those who wont be here for a while.

When is the estimated time for the server to be updated to 1.7?
I already mentioned this. Scroll up.
Server Update:
Power is back on and along with all my other nonsense, I was able to bring our server back up. Unfortunately, my client updated itself before I had to the chance to stop it and I'm too lazy to revert back to 1.6 on the client side. Let me know if anyone has trouble logging in for reasons other than "Outdated Server". :tongue.gif:

Mors has a shop that sells glass and smoothstone for 1 Aero each. It's located near the giant Aperture building in town.
I work there, so I can't buy stuff from there. For some reason.
EDIT: I've talked to an0 and he's convinced me to hold onto my admin position for now, but be warned that I won't be highly active. I'll still be setting standards and making sure they're kept, and doing any higher-level stuff that needs doing, but direct involvement in the day-to-day stuff on skytreasure is going to leave my plate for the time being.
