An Act to add SilkSpawners to allow players to acquire mob spawners


Status: VOTE FAILED
Reason: Majority Decision
Voting Ended: June 25, 2014

Votes:
Yes - 6
No - 7
Abstain - 1

--
It's official. We've heard many requests for this, so here's the vote to add it to VC:

http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/silkspawners/

This would mean a silk touch enchanted tool could be used to mine a spawner and allow it to be picked up and placed. The chance to pick one up like this might be made to be less than 100%. If it turns out to be glitchy where every time one is placed a staff member has to set which mob it has to spawn, then we might have to alter how we do this.

What would this do?

-All votes would be posted with an @MP, and then pinned for easy access

This is a vote initiated by Community Minister TheLegend12369, and was nominated by players:
Yvette (Staff), CyphurTheFox, TheLegend12369, Seaborgium, TheoGreen

Should we add the plugin NEW GODS to the server?

Link: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/new-gods.55163/

This motion has gained the necessary support to be brought to vote. The motion would call for the following:

Players can create their own gods with signs and build altars to pray to them.

You can sacrifice items to your god to gain favor.  You can appoint God Leaders and Priests to help with your religion. There are also God homes and shops you can utilize in your religion. You also get blessed with XP from your God randomly.

Things disabled from the plugin:-
Prefixes - For people who are married, a leader or a priest *This is because it will distract from the prefixes that VillageCraft already uses.
-Marriages *The marriage included in this has a lot less features then the one already approved so it should be disabled in order to not distract.

Adding the Senate of VillageCraft

This vote will approve the 2 sections needed to create the Senate of VillageCraft
Section 1 is creating the Senate, Section 2 is changing the CM Guidelines to sync with the change.


The Senate of VillageCraft:
The Senate is a democratic body, made up of Senators, that creates legislation for the Parliament of VillageCraft to vote on.
Any MP may be selected to join the Senate through sortition (rather than election) if they self-nominate their name to the Sortition List and get randomly selected (rather than elected).
Senators strive to serve in the best interests of VillageCraft, conduct debates and participate in Senate Votes, and may serve until the end of the Session. Senate Sessions last 4 months.


Quick-Read Version:
A - The Senate discusses, debates, and votes on legislation to send to the VC Parliament for Official Parliament Votes. The Senate can also investigate Staff Members of wrongdoing.
B - Senate Sessions last 4 months on a fixed schedule. All Senators are removed at the end of a Session. A new Senate may begin proceedings once 5 Senators are confirmed.
C - New Senate Sessions have 5 seats and can be increased to 7 by vote. Vacant seats can be filled from the Sortition List by the Speaker or by vote. Senators can be removed by Simple Parliament Vote.
D - Senators are selected from the Sortition List. Any MP may self-nominate their name to the Sortition List. The CM can choose to be a Senator. A Competency Test must be passed to be confirmed to the Senate.
E - The Speaker of the Senate runs the Senate proceedings and votes. The Speaker is a Senator who is elected and can be removed by fellow Senators. If there is no Speaker, one must be elected.
F - The Senate Procedure and Senate Votes are how the Senate operates on a day-to-day basis to pass legislation such as Official Parliament Vote Proposals.

Parliament Vote #30 - Parliament Vote - Senate Vote
Senate Guidelines Revision #1


Status: VOTE PASSED
Reason: Majority Decision
Voting Ended: 31 March 2021

Votes:
Yes - 14
No - 0
Abstain - 2

--
Should we adopt Senate Guidelines Revision #1?

With the passing of this legislation, the following will occur:
The revisions to the Senate of VillageCraft Official Guidelines stated below will be adopted.

-------
FULL TEXT HERE: https://gitlab.com/luisc99/legislation-changes/-/commit/c98e45266bac820bba6106a0b795d30092fecda7
The new text in the above link is what will be adopted. The link includes the full text of the revisions, side-by-side with the old text for comparison.

CHANGE LIST:
-States that the Senate is a body of the Parliament (there has been some confusion over this)
-Clears up votes with regards to investigations of Staff (there was some confusion over this a few months ago)
-Clears up terms and adds some terms, such as "Selection Event" to make things easier to follow
-Clears up some ambiguity about resignations, and the removal of the CM (who can still be eligible for selection)
-Adds a section "C.5: Sortition" to explain sortition in one spot
-Adds language to officially adopt the publicly-auditable and viewable Sortition Method and randomized daily Selection Lists developed by Ako and Luis
-Adds language to make sure orders to fill seat vacancies occur the following day (UTC) so no strategy/"cheating"  with selecting new Senators can occur
-Closes the "Upcoming Sortition List" 24 hours before the new session to give buffer time for the new list to be updated for the new Senate to be selected
-States that orders to fill vacant seats may not occur within the last 72 hours of a Senate Session (to sync with the above 24 hour buffer, and also because it would be odd)
-Places a (soft) limit of a maximum of 3 Staff members on the Senate, to avoid Staff dominance. Technically adding a player to the Staff who is a Senator can exceed this limit, but this is the only way.
-Requires the CM to choose whether to accept a Senate seat 1-10 days PRIOR to the start of a Senate Session, now removing their ability to slightly delay a session by not deciding.
-Makes it clear that Senate Votes last 5 days or until all Senators have voted, at the Speaker's discretion (there was some confusion about this)
-Makes it clear that System Admins are counted as 1 of the 3 staff required for consent (there was a question recently whether it was 3+1 admin or whether the admin counted)

This vote has been brought to Parliament by the passing of Senate Vote #6 - https://bit.ly/3w5HN8n

All Members of Parliament may vote.
For the act to pass, a majority of voting MPs must vote in favor.

2. Sit as a VC Senator
At the start of a Senate Session, the CM is offered the choice to become a Senator in the Senate. For full details, see Section D.

No - 1

--
This vote is being proposed by the Senate. The Senate vote can be viewed here: http://www.villagecraft-server.com/forum/index.php?topic=5502.0

With the passing of this legislation, the "Village Tiers" system will be added to VillageCraft, as described below.

VC Village Tiers

0: Homestead / Land Claim
Requires:
- 1 structure
- Cannot be within 200m of any village you do not own, unless consent is given (see additional notes)
- FREE
Grants:
- (No Region Protection)
- A claim on the land in the immediate vicinity

1: Hamlet
Requires:
- 5 structures
- Staff approval (Staff will create protected region)
- $5,000
Grants:
- Protected region around immediate vicinity (~50m)
- Basic Rules for Villages on VC enforcement
- 2 month owner inactivity leeway

2: Settlement
Requires:
- 10 structures
- 1 art installation (fountain/statue/art wall, etc)
- $25,000
Grants:
- Protected region beyond immediate vicinity
- Protected region expansions (with staff approval)
- 3 month owner inactivity leeway

3: Town
Requires:
- 15 structures
- 1 town hall (village rules can be posted here)
- 1 food production place (bakery, butcher, restaurant, etc)
- $50,000
Grants:
- Ability to set village rules for members to follow
- Protected region expansions more liberally permitted (with staff approval)
- 4 month owner inactivity leeway

4: Shire
Requires:
- 25 structures
- 1 gathering place (pub, church, market square, etc)
- 1 civic building (post office, court house, school, etc)
- 1 embassy
- $120,000
Grants:
- Ability to join unions
- 5 month inactivity leeway

5: City
Requires:
- 40 structures
- 1 attraction (arena/stadium, museum, fairground, etc)
- 3 embassies
- $300,000
Grants:
- Village title appears on screen when entering
- 6 month owner inactivity leeway

6: Metropolis
Requires:
- 65 structures
- Transportation infrastructure (subway/trains with stations, canals with docks, horses with stables and hitching posts, etc)
- 5 embassies
- $1,500,000
Grants:
- A billboard in a server-owned Public Village (such as Qualia, Tal Avar, Tirinuvik), including a picture and writing (pending Staff approval and placement)
- 7 month owner inactivity leeway

7: Country
Requires:
- 100 structures
- 1 health and safety structure (hospital, police station/jail, military base, etc)
- 3 unique non-housing structures (not houses/apartments/hotels)
- 7 embassies
- $3,000,000
Grants:
- Village Warp (v-warp) accessible to anyone, regardless of donor level
- 8 month owner inactivity leeway



ADDITIONAL INFO / TERMS:
a. Owner Inactivity Leeway:
Applies only to the owners of villages, and therefore ownership transfers. All other inactivity on the server uses the 2 month inactivity rule, including village membership, salvaging, and unlocking locks.

b. Homesteads/ Land Claims Within 200m of Another Village:
Builds within 200m of a village that the builder doesn't own cannot be protected without consent of the nearby village owner. Should that village owner choose to expand their village in the direction of the land claim, with staff approval, they may give 7 days warning for the land claimer to pack up and leave (signs posted, mail, public chat, etc), after which point the village owner may expand over and claim the builds and chests for themselves and their own village, with locks removed. Thus, it is suggested nobody build this close to an existing village that they don't own.

c. Advancing a Tier:
Tiers are advanced one at a time, and Staff have discretion on whether a village has met the requirements to advance a tier (or if they can be reasonably bypassed for significant unique builds).

d. Structure Count:
Specifically required structures are included in the total structures count. Staff have discretion if requirements have been met.

e. Embassies:
Embassies are considered complete when the Embassy on each side is built (their embassy in your town and your embassy in theirs).

f. Embassy Warps:
Once complete, embassies between towns get free warp signs that go from embassy-to-embassy.
(Staff Note: Naming convention example from Qualia to Tirinuvik: Warp e-QUAtoTIR. And from Tirinuvik to Qualia: Warp e-TIRtoQUA. Add a letter if needed.)

g. Tracking Tiers:
Custom region flags will be used so anyone can see which tier a village is at.



NOTES FOR WHEN THIS SYSTEM IS IMPLEMENTED:
- When the village tiers system begins, all existing villages will be given Hamlet status. All of their existing perks will be grandfathered in even if those perks now require a higher tier. Adding any new perks that require a higher tier will require the village to advance to the respective tier first.

- The "VillageCraft Rules" and "Basic Rules for Villages and Village Unions on VC" will be updated to include the new tiers system and account for the changes made here.
