City Manager "Dailies"
Dear Minecrafters,
As your new city manager, I just wanted to let y'all know what my plans are for the daily turn ins. I plan on logging on once a day around 7-ish in the evenings to check your chests to see if you have turned in the daily lewtz and to post the next day's turn in. I am maintaining a spreadsheet of who has turned in stuff and whether or not I have paid you. If we can't seem to be on at the same time for you to be paid, send me an email (kclaridy@gmail.com) and we can set up a time to settle up, but rest assured that your turn-ins will not be forgotten. I want to make sure that I am as accurate and prompt as possible so this remains fun for you all. I am open to questions, comments, conundrums, colloquialisms, suggestions, etc.
Sincerely,
His Eminence, Don Innocentio
City Manager and All Around Amazing Person

Larroke's Domain
A quick tour of my domain, ya'll are of course welcome to explore. With the Tinker's Tower skin completed I thought I'd take you around a bit!
The Crypts
Buried within the ancient stones of Larroke's Domain is the Crypts, resting place of the lineage of ancient kings.
Ventum Est Verum (The Wind is Truth), the motto of the lineage of kings walkers of the wind and keepers of the eternity. The history of the ancient kings dates back to long before the First King, but the great kings risen since the razing of the Tower at Rian are buried here as reminder of the task of this lost line.

City Manager
So to make sure everyone is up on what a few have talked about.
We were thinking of ways to introduce money into the economy besides selling diamonds to a vender. We thought about opening up other signs to "vender" things to like gold and redstone but didn't like things being taken out of the economy forever. The City manager was brought up.
Keith offered this weekend, on his own, to fill this role. The idea is that he would occupy a building in the skycity. Every day he would post a sign that would read something like this...
Daily
5 stacks of Glass
$5 reward
Each night he would log in and reward the players with /pay
The items could be traded with him directly but since he will be on for such a limited amount of time, we thought he could put chests in his building that only him and 1 player could access. So for example I could go in and place my daily in my chest. No one else could access it but the City Manager and me. Once he logs in and rewards the players, he could move the items to his other chests and store them for projects. So when the next Colosseum comes up, we don't have to fiend for mats.
Another thought for the City Manger was that he could pay the people that help out building projects for the world. The idea here is that we want people to help and its making the entire world better. So lets use the Colosseum as an example. The City manager would post something like...
Build Project
Lead: Thomas
Pay upon completion
$40
Basically then once its complete, Thomas says "I had X, and Y, and Z helping" they get paid.
Please take the time to post comments here, I want to know how people feel about this. We need to make sure that this economy works and works for us.
Regards
Kyle

We must wait....
Minecraft 1.2
Minecraft 1.2 is out. I have setup a test server and tried the newest version of Bukkit. We are currently running craftbukkit-1.1-R4.
The new version: craftbukkit-1.1-R6-20120301.142116-2 Is not compatible with the newest release of the following Mods:
MagicSpells
TorchArrow
I Connected my 1.1 Client to the test craftbukkit-1.1-R6-20120301.142116-2 Server without receiving an error message about wrong version client... this leads me to believe that this new version of bukkit is not yet 1.2.
I want to wait until the Mod Developers get their code straightened out before upgrading to the newest Bukkit Release.
I will, however, upgrade Mobdisguise and MagicSpells now,as their developers already have newer stable releases available.

City in the Sky
In case anyone hasn't noticed, there is a giant, flat island located in the sky. What is the place? Why it's an entire, floating city! It is currently under construction, but alot of progress has been made. The Auction House is up and running, while class guilds, an inn, a church, various shops, and much more are on the way!
What is this city called? Well no one knows, it hasn't been named yet, and what better way than to leave that up to the community. So here we are, a place where we can all discuss the name of the sky city, as well as all the shops and other places within it. Also, feel free to discuss any ideas in reference to the current or future construction.
(I haven't seen anywhere to post on the economy either, so due to the AH being within the city, feel free to post about anything within the economics of the game here as well.)

Construction of the Sky City
Minecraft 1.2
-from Jason-
If we update to 1.2 here are some benefits that give me a bit of wood... (from http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Upcoming_features )
Added rare Item drops for mobs.

Survival MultiPlayer mob hitboxes are fixed, so they apply to the full mob, instead of only the head.[1] No longer have to hug zombies to hit them... Blaze room can be dealt with manually now too..
Maximum build height increased to 256 (was 128). I LOVE THIS!!!!
Slabs can now be placed upside-down. no need for double half-slab for stairs so your entire house's horizontal surfaces can be made of half-slabs and nothing will spawn inside even in total darkness.
Stairs should also have same change.
When crafting Slabs, you now get 6 instead of 3.
Zombie skeleton shave a rare chance to drop a Iron Ingot, Iron Helmet, Iron Shovel, or an Iron Sword.
Skeletons have a rare chance to drop a Bow or an Enchanted Bow.
Zombie Pigmen have a rare chance to drop a Golden Helmet, Gold Ingot, Golden Sword, or an Enchanted Golden Sword
You can also use tamed cats in/around your house to ward off creepers as creepers "should" run from them.
Random as they die creeper explosions "should" have been fixed.
Creeper Reaper will be broken, as mobs no longer consider transparent blocks (ladders/signs etc) as a full block and idiotically walk over them if the fall is too great. new level layout will still work, but we'd have to convert the Reaper's bottom half to a new system for it to work effectively in this patch.
There are a lot of interesting updates to consider.

Minecraft in a Nutshell
This picture sent to me by Steve pretty much sums up my experiences with minecraft (until recently).
I think you all will agree!
Thanks Steve!
Thanks Steve!
Maps
Maps are generated daily at 8AM EST.
There are currently 2 maps, one flat, and one Angled.
The Flat map is a smaller file, while the Angled map has more detail and is around 65-70MB in size.
the maps can be downloaded using your web browser. I am not providing the server address to the public, but you should already have it.
