Ω Community Update Ω

By Arigenn

Recent Promotions

As you can see, various promotions have taken place over the last week or so. Currently we have a new Senior Moderator Iron, new Moderators Zedther, Cammy_G, myworld6, nickzulu3, SpookeZZ and a new Junior Moderator Tazz along with a few former staff members who have come out of retirement Pelpelajax, connor4961, and Theoretical. We wish these individuals a big congratulations on their new roles in the staff team, and are looking forward to the future with them.

Tournament News

Today was the final day of the league and also the finale with the top two teams fighting it out to win the gold! I would like to congratulate all those who participated in this event. Congratulations to JardinerosTeam on getting 1st Place, TheCrazyBeaners on getting 2nd Place, and Apollo on getting Third Place! Now that the league is over Officials have already begun the planning for the next Tournament.

The Assembly

FunkyStudios has assembled an assembly together. Essentially the Assembly is a group of people who will be constantly developing new ideas for the developers to look at, and further develop themselves. This will help a steady flow of new ideas being brought into Avicus. Current ideas being looked at are having an "Ask the Staff" forum section, and adding a /map feature that will allow users to see how long a match is running. Current Assembly members are:

GrapeSmoothie
Arigenn
MidnightBeats
Javipepe
ALM
Fouled
pavilion99
ViceWatercolour
Vobaseball12
resepignev
PieZ
Administrafer

Map Development News

Map Reassessment Fouled and Ogrey have decided that it is about time to access maps based on their gameplay to ensure a better experience. There will be a compiled list of maps that will be possibly removed, added, or edited for feedback purposes.
Congratz to Zedther on getting Map Developer!

Lobby News

The Map Developers have spent the last two weeks developing a new hub. This hub will be a more long-term hub, and I can ensure you LOTS of effort and detail has been put into it. Expect this hub to be released soon, as it as close to completion. However heres a little picture of the AVN symbol, which will be incorporated into the new hub.

The Translation Project

A new team of translators, are creating the rules in several languages. This project is wrapping up, and these new rules will be uploaded within the next week or so. Expect an elaborated post regarding specifics on this topic.

New Administrative roles reintroduced

Arigenn and MidnightBeats have reintroduced Administrator roles, to create more structure within our team. I will become the Community Admin, and Midnight will become the Staff Admin. Normal departments will remain in place, and these roles are to act as overseers for each sector, and to spread out workload appropriately in the Admin team.

Avicus Community Slack

The Administrator team is still encouraging you all to join community slack, just remember to contact an admin to be added to it! Thanks to PieZ, we have official rules in place now that users will have to stick to, although they are quite straight forward.

General Rules:

No links to pornography, phishing sites, keyloggers, scams, etc.(3 Points)
No harassing users in all chats(Depends how bad. Talk to over staff about it)
No rumors/drama. We're trying to get away from that.(1 Point)
Try to remain calm and civilized in situations.(1 Point)
No death threats or threatening to Ddos (3 Points)
We have a three strike limit. These strikes will be removed if the strike was given on an older date and the staff feels it has been a long enough time
Making a leaving thread will get you kicked out of slack. Unless stated that you do not wish to leave.
Each room has different levels of it being moderated. Low moderated means the channel is very lenient. Medium moderated means the channel will be regularly moderated. Highly moderated means it will be very strict with moderators .

The admins need to stick to what they say. They keep going on and off with these administrator roles, make up your mind...

How I wish I applied this December... :c This would've been so much more enjoyable than my past experience as a moderator. Anyways, it's nice to see this place being cleaned up (for once)! Kudos to you all! :3

I have literally no idea why roles keep switching either, I'm pretty sure Midnight has been for and against and for and against it, speaking from my experience. It hurts the server's progression to condense roles into 2 positions, and it's less efficient to have an admin that can't deal with their department because they're inactive for 8 days at a time.

They should consider revising that, and letting it stick.

Very nice!

Make it so people can literally make applications for the assembly, and make it a separate Staff rank.

I think we have enough staff ranks for now.
