Nice quick meeting this month! Here's a brief run-down of the decisions made.

• Dedicated Server
  
  • George and Jack to be managing the server initially
    
  • Two Minecraft servers - one dedicated to survival and one dedicated to creative / game modes
    
  • Tekkit will not be hosted for the foreseeable future - the hardware requirements are too high
    
  • Assetto Corsa will be hosted on the server ASAP
    
  • ArmA III will be hosted on the server ASAP (ArmA II in the mean time)
    

  [*]YouTube

  • Creation of solid, regular content
    
  • George will manage the creation, organisation and editing of content
    
  • Focus on play-throughs and tours / promotional videos of the Ahoy Minecraft! servers
    
  • Also include reviews / guides (incl. mod installation and the like)
    

  [*]Minecraft

  • Survival world will be regular, PVP Minecraft in a large-biome map, hosted on a 2GB server with a lot of slots
    
  • Server / game mode priority list:
    
  
  
  
  
  1. Survival
     
  2. Zombie Survival
     
  3. Walls
     
  4. AhoyForts
     
  5. AhoyPrison
     
  6. RP World
     

  • Zombie Survival
    
    • Looking for constant input. Tell them what you want on the forums and follow the dev diaries
      
    • Areas named "Area 1", "Area 2" etc to undergo a staggered release, the devs hopefully being 2 or 3 areas ahead of the current release
      
    • Many more (but weaker) zombies than usual
      

  Good stuff people! Let's make it happen!

outcomes from my perspective

- Nice one sam for all the streaming,

- Youtube goals some are being met

- Arma running on other server too

- DCS not running but means another game can be done

- T-shirts were investigated and can be available (for a big price though wasn't it?) out of our control

fingers crossed for war of the roses
