NUMBER YOUR DAMN PROPOSITIONS /rage
CHANGE
Proposition 1: Cons
Using multiverse to merge servers would increase lag a SIGNIFICANT amount unless someone multithreads minecraft. Until then, it is not viable to merge whatsoever. Even then, there'd be bandwidth problems probably.
People need to learn what multiverse actually is; a pile of shit. (unless used for VERY small worlds, which is not the case) It effectively makes it so you're running two servers on one thread, fucking yourself in the ass performance wise.
DON'T PUT UP STUPID THINGS UNLESS YOU HAVE DONE IN DEPTH RESEARCH
/minirant
Proposition 2
I for one, would never leave build chat in my main client and MAYBE have a combined chat open on my alternate. Really though, most of the community would not have two open and would only ever be on builder chat. No student could ask someone to help teach them, and especially merging the servers would exacerbate the problem of no one being able to ask for help. Maybe have chat fully merged and allow TEMPORARY chat rooms on SCHOOL for builder+ to use to teach. Gives for an easier method than whispering people and would allow for a total of 3+ people teaching/being taught without spamming a global.
Proposition 7
Teaching multiple people at once is not at all possible. A. Everyone wants to learn different things. B. Everyone knows different things. C. People understand different things faster than others.
Teaching something technical like redstone without any pre-written materials is completely different from teaching in a classroom. You have to rely mainly off the student's intelligence to figure out what's happening. Some people can do that, while others can't. This proves to be problematic as everyone's in different spots, having to answer even more questions (even with a WPM around 80 that proves to be difficult with 1-2 people) would prove near-impossible and over all detrimental to the understanding of the students.
Proposition 10
There are NO cons. Bring back the old days!
YES
For the love of god, tyler is doing this all alone, or nearly so. He needs help, not more things to do.
Proposition to fix above:
Write code for whatever using available API (is the python thing that the server uses available?) and put it on github. Comment well, don't be an idiot and link it to tyler. He runs through it, checking it to make sure there's no opcode or anything (heuheuheu) and then it can be merged into the server.
A lot of staff I see are only on for an hour or so (well, full time staff, not mort) and then they vanish off into the abyss for the other 23 hours of the day, or like tyler are busy doing other stuff (I understand tyler being busy, as it's also important stuff). Staff need to be (a.) active and (b.) spread throughout the world for maximum time with admins on. (enough emphasis?) As I have no life, and I can't ever be bothered to build huge things (gah) I'd love to help.
EDIT: If any admins wanna censor me for vulgarity, have at it. Too lazy. Damn PNW threads piss me off >.>
