Agenda Items & notes:

Kudos

Thanks to CB for being a DM for the last 6 months. He's stepped down and we appreciate all the work and effort he's put in
Kudos to Maythor for being IG and spicing things up for players and PCs he runs across (he can see everyone on at any time, so dont assume he just accidentally ran into you!)
Kudos to the community for sticking with us - summers are slow all around, but we appreciate your involvement!

Old Business

Updates on DM Votes (yes with 50% this one time - Supermajority moving forward), GPS updating (yes with toggle on/off switch), DM entry announcement IG (Dora turned that on - Team wants Discord notification also), RLG (addressed down below)

New DM recruitment

It was agreed by the team that DM apps will be processed in an on-going basis, as the need for DMs is key
Darkpower and Kronan have turned in applications, and will answer the AMA questions on Discord before the community can vote on them
Whether DMs can be voted in with 50% going forward, and removed with 66% of votes was discussed - the majority agreed that 50% vote in for this one time with a Supermajority going forward

Charter Updates

No updates on the Charter - this is a living document, so feedback is appreciated from the community at large

Quests

Lence seeking input on a better process for Quests lead into a larger discussion about Town Criers, RLG, level-appropriate spawning, IG warnings when PCs enter dangerous areas, and level-specific areas.
Quests that ladder off of each other were discussed, and whether this would promote more solo play or not
Town Criers - what would their function be?

RLG

It was discussed whether to lower the % rate at which mini-bosses spawn, and whether they drop RLG every time or just a % of the time. Mini bosses proposed spawn rate was either 25 or 50%, and RLG on them was either 25% or 50%
Z would like mini-bosses to spawn like 10% of the time... so this will most likely be a vote that is put to the community

Spawning revamps (scaling outwards from easy to hard)

Discussion was had about whether there was some way to categorize what levels areas should be with Wolfe providing an example. This may be part of the info that is given out by town criers to educate players as to the challenges of various areas
IG messaging about difficult spawns/bosses were proposed, and is an easy add to maps for the devs

Voter Registration

It was decided that voters who have been identified will not time out as voters - The registered voter requirement remains the same - 6 hours over 3 months
Dora proposed running a report to track time IG to check for registered voters

Parking Lot (to cover off on at a later/next meeting)

Holdover Topics (from previous Staff Meetings):

Things the charter can address:

ACTION ITEMS:

Dora will code the GPS toggle on/off
Dora will add the DM login to Discord
Lence will start implementing IG messaging triggers as early warning system alerting PCs to challenging spawns/bosses ahead

Agenda Items & notes:
AT Election

it was decided to keep the AT at 4 members for the time being, and that we would have the community be the tie-breaker vote.
There was discussion that the DMs be the tie-breaker, but the historical distrust of the DMs self-interests may cloud any vote they do in the eyes of the community
