Staffers

Macpants: moved Jak and Qwizzy to Eldership

[[Category:Cubic Worlds]]'''Staffer''' is the term used to describe any high-ranking user who keeps order on the server and forums. While all staffers have considerably more power than normal users, they are themselves divided into ranks. Staffers follow the [[Staff Policy]] to ensure an open and friendly relationship with the players of Cubic Worlds.

== Staffer Ranks ==
The following is a list of the current staffers for Cubic Worlds, in descending rank. (Organized by seniority within rank.)

=== Ops ===
An '''Op''' - short for Operator - is typically the top rank on a server, and appears red in chat. Ops have access to any and all of the server commands and responsibilities, most notably including the ability to promote and demote players to any rank and to annoy pretty much everyone by regularly restarting the server for no obvious reason.

*[[User:Zolyx|'''Zolyx''']] - the simultaneously loved and feared Chief of Staff of both Cubic Worlds and the Minecraft Museum. He is in charge of all of the higher functions of both these places as well as the forum that lets their communities mingle. Zolyx is the owner and founder of [[Cubic City]].

=== Moderators ===
'''Moderators''' are high-ranking users trusted to watch over the server and help orchestrate events. They appear orange in chat. They have most of the world-altering powers that Ops have, can spawn items, blocks, and even mobs when needed, and can promote and demote on the Guest / Member range. Like all staff members, Moderators are equipped with banhammers.

* [[User:ColDimitri|'''ColDimitri''']] - Loves hoarding massive amounts of as many different kinds of materials as he can. This includes a horde of iron golems.
* [[User:Masternoj|'''masternoj''']] - The server's official Hero of Time and co-owner of [[Hyrule]]. He hosts the Official Spleef Tournaments and resides in the [[Castle Ood]]. Has an odd sense of humor and a massive obsession with symmetry.
* [[User:merasane|'''merasane''']] - Sage of the Forest and co-owner of [[Hyrule]].
* [[User:Shabbyjazz|'''Shabbyjazz''']] - The server's greatest woolophile.

=== Officers ===
'''Officers''' are the first tier of lawkeepers within the server and appear yellow in chat. Those in this position have the ability to teleport themselves and others and can dispense justice using their banhammers to get rid of troublesome users. Officers have access to rollback commands to reverse griefer damage and also serve as moderators on the Minecraft Museum forum.
* [[User:brickviking|'''brickviking''']] - The Creator of the Avalonian rail system and the only true viking.
* [[User:koads|'''koads''']] - Koads is the server's foremost hermit and owns [[The Enclave]] and [[The Lightbringers]], among other things.
* [[User:konekasi|'''konekasi''']] - He once placed third in [[Spleef Tournament III]]
* [[User:Macpants|'''Macpants''']] - He builds small and functional and is owner of [[Southwest Summit Arena]] and [[Silver Valley Stables]]. Also is Conductor for the Voxellian Railway.
* [[User:OminousFire|'''OminousFire''']] - Cubic Worlds' renowned redstone wizard. Creator of [[Pina Park]], the [[CNG]], and [[Redstonia]], as well as the unfinished [[University of Redstone]]. Likes to help with redstone projects, when he's not busy with one of his own. Does not like to use his own materials for other's projects, but will most of the time use his own on those projects.
* [[User:SmokeandMirrors|'''SmokeandMirrors''']] - Runs Christmas Island and likes to build with the lay of the land.

=== Elders ===
'''Elders''' are staff members who have chosen to step down from staffing duties and enjoy a quiet life once again. In recognition of their service all ex-staffers of Officer or above are given this title.

* [[User:Fubaka|'''Fubaka''']] (former Crimson Op) - the longest running user on the server besides Zolyx himself. He is well known for creating the two [[Jump Gauntlet]]s, [[Snowview]], [[Greater Library|The Greater Library]], and others. Fubaka is the founder of [[Nova]] and [[Le Capitale d'Art]].
* [[User:Biscuit_Junkie|'''Biscuit_Junkie''']] (former Moderator) - Server-renowned cake and dome addict! Runs the [[Biscuits Cubic Test Server|Official Test Server]] for Cubic Worlds and is the founder and proprietor of [[Moya]].
* [[User:Mystic_Murray|'''Mystic_Murray''']] (former Moderator) - Possibly the most loved user on the server. Mystic is well known for his OCD perfectionism and for being the founder and proprietor of [[The Citadel]].
* [[User:Squeedge|'''Squeedge''']] (former Moderator) - One of the server's Cake Barons. He is obsessed with farms of all sorts and tries to observe as many different methods of constructing them as he can.
* [[User:JakTheMad|'''JakTheMad''']] (former Moderator) - Owner of [[Valhalla]] and the server's foremost champion in events of all kinds.
* [[User:DerGymnacke|'''derGymnacke''']] (former Officer) - the server's other redstone wizard. He is busy most of the time working on projects given by Mystic_Murray. He also tends to make things more complicated than necessary. Warning: Making him think about redstone projects can make him go crazy and screaming things like "for SCIENCE".
* [[User:On3Win9|'''On3Win9''']] (former Officer) - Is always willing to help and was instrumental in helping to complete the original [[The_Citadel|Citadel]].
* [[User:Runicrules|'''runicrules''']] (former Officer) - Likes to build walls encompassing large areas and invites only trusted people to help her.
* [[User:Qwizzy|'''Qwizzy''']] (former Officer) - A curious and quizzical fellow.

== Special Mentions ==
* [[User:SunnySoulSheep|'''SunnySoulSheep''']] was an active member of Cubic Worlds for many months, eventually being given the ownership of both [[Redville]] and [[Nova]]. She rose to the rank of Moderator in record time due to her patience, kindness and unfaltering willingness to spend her time helping others. Sadly, Sunny lost her fight against breast cancer at the end of January 2014, and will be sorely missed by everyone on the server. An in-game memorial has been constructed to honor her memory in [[Le Capitale d'Art]].

== Help from Staffers ==
You can almost always count on there being at least 1 staffer on at any given time. You can ask them almost any question within reason and expect them to answer you respectfully. It is important though to know that this server is meant to be played in way that is as close to "vanilla" Minecraft as possible, so there are a few things that you should '''not''' ask them:
* Do not ask Officers or above to teleport you, under any circumstance. The staffers will decide when it is appropriate to teleport people.
* Do not ask Moderators or above to spawn items or mobs, or change the time/weather for you. You are meant to deal with these problems with the appropriate vanilla strategies. These staffers will only spawn blocks for you if you have been irreparably griefed or rolled back.
* '''Never''' ask any staff member to promote you. Ops will decide which players are worthy of promotion based on their general behavior and actions on the server.

If you have any question for a staffer and cannot seem to find them on the server, you can send them a private message on the forums. They are expected to check their inboxes periodically and respond with gusto.

== About paullessard ==
Paul joined Cubic Worlds server on 25 December 2011.

He was banned on the 20th of April, 2012 for 3 days for being generally disrespectful and abusive towards the Staff and other members. To lift the ban, paul also needed to write an apology for everything he did, but refused to do so, leading to being permanently banned from the server.

== Builds ==
* [[Redville]]
* [[Metropolis]]

== Trivia ==
* Paul founded the church of [[The_Church_of_Squee_(Squeeism)|Squeeism]]

'''Kundufus''' was a user who joined the server on Wed Jun 08, 2011. He was banned from [[Cubic Worlds]] after Moderators discovered that he cheated to get the items he needed for his [[Kundufus's Statues|statues]].

Though his ban was lifted a long time ago, he has still yet to reapply, and thus, remains on the banlist. It is likely that he has forgotten about the server.

'''ThePomelo''' (a.k.a "pom") is a Cubic Worlds [[Ranks#Member|member]] who joined the server on June 28, 2011. Plucky and ambitious, ThePomelo tries his hardest to contribute to the server in any way possible.

== PomeloProjects ==
ThePomelo's main building projects include the following:
*Lakeside Cottage Home, personal home located not far from spawn. This is ThePomelo's base of operations.
*Modern Home, a modern-style home based on a similar home built on a friend's server.
*[[Public Obsidian Generator]]
*[[Towns#SubAquatica|SubAquatica]]
*[[Projects#The Nyan Cat|Nyan Cat]]
*[[Cubic Worlds Hall of Fame]]
*Nether Cottage, a home built in the Nether. Since many portals seem to link to the portal in the cottage, passersby can use it temporarily as a refuge from ghasts, but keep in mind that it is the property of ThePomelo and must be treated respectfully.

ThePomelo has also lent a hand in other players' projects, like OminousFire's [[Pina Park#Pac Man|Pac Man]] and [[University of Redstone]].

== Trivia ==
*ThePomelo supports most towns and residential areas, owning homes in [[Snowview]], one of the starships floating above [[Greenview]], the [[Biome Hotel]], and [[Towns#The Kokiri Forest|Kokiri Forest]].
*ThePomelo is currently starting a cake business, ''Cakes by ThePomelo'', coming soon to the [[Biscuit Dome]] and [[The Cakery]].
*ThePomelo was promoted to Citizen (then known as VIP) on the morning of 8 September, 2011 after showing Zolyx SubAquatica.

{{User Officer}}
{{Userboxbottom}}

Macpants is a member of Cubic Worlds who often is a wallflower in chat, occasionally jumping in with a word or two. His builds tend to be small, and practical, and his store of items speaks to that as well. It's likely that he doesn't have a whole lot to spare but will usually share what he has.
In a recent interview, he stated that he has been a part of Cubic Worlds since January, largely keeping to himself, but has recently made a larger effort to become more involved with the server as a whole. He likes touring peoples builds and also enjoys giving tours of the small projects he has built. He lives East of spawn, across the ravine from [[Blue Hole]] in his tower named [[The Cloister]] and his wood plantation is nearby. It's open to walk through by the public, although not grand by most standards.
==Trivia==
Macpants has founded [[The Village of Reed]] and [[Southwest Summit Arena]].

Staffers

2014-01-22T23:52:55Z

Macpants: added SmokeandMirrors as Officer

[[Category:Cubic Worlds]]'''Staffer''' is the term used to describe any high-ranking user who keeps order on the server and forums. While all staffers have considerably more power than normal users, they are themselves divided into ranks. Staffers follow the [[Staff Policy]] to ensure an open and friendly relationship with the players of Cubic Worlds.

== Staffer Ranks ==
The following is a list of the current staffers for Cubic Worlds, in descending rank.

=== Ops ===
An '''Op''' - short for Operator - is typically the top rank on a server, and appears red in chat. Ops have access to any and all of the server commands and responsibilities, most notably including the ability to promote and demote players to any rank and to annoy pretty much everyone by regularly restarting the server for no obvious reason.

*[[User:Zolyx|'''Zolyx''']] - the simultaneously loved and feared Chief of Staff of both Cubic Worlds and the Minecraft Museum. He is in charge of all of the higher functions of both these places as well as the forum that lets their communities mingle. Zolyx is the owner and founder of [[Cubic City]].

* [[User:Fubaka|'''Fubaka''']] - the longest running user on the server besides Zolyx himself. He is well known for creating the two [[Jump Gauntlet]]s, [[Snowview]], [[Greater Library|The Greater Library]], and others. Fubaka is the founder of [[Nova]].

=== Temp Ops ===
This rank is given to a trusted user (usually a Moderator) who is given Op status while the Op is away. It implies that the user will return to Moderator status when the Op returns. They have pretty much the same powers as an Op, but for the most part, don't know how to use them. They can look things up, though, so don't fret!

(There are currently no Temp Ops)

=== Moderators ===
'''Moderators''' are high-ranking users trusted to watch over the server and help orchestrate events. They appear orange in chat. They have most of the world-altering powers that Ops have, can spawn items, blocks, and even mobs when needed, and can promote and demote on the Guest / Member range. Like all staff members, Moderators are equipped with banhammers.

* [[User:SunnySoulSheep|'''SunnySoulSheep''']] - Due to general helpfulness, she rose to a Moderator position faster than anyone else on record. She currently watches over [[Redville]] and [[Nova]].
* [[User:JakTheMad|'''JakTheMad''']]- Owner of [[Valhalla]] and the server's foremost champion in events of all kinds.
* [[User:Shabbyjazz|'''Shabbyjazz''']]- The server's greatest woolophile.
* [[User:ColDimitri|'''ColDimitri''']] - he loves hoarding massive amounts of as many different kinds of materials as he can. This includes a horde of iron golems.
* [[User:merasane|'''merasane''']]- Sage of the Forest and co-owner of [[Hyrule]].

=== Elders ===
'''Elders''' are staff members who have chosen to step down from staffing duties and enjoy a quiet life once again. In recognition of their service all ex-staffers of Officer or above are given this title.

* [[User:Biscuit_Junkie|'''Biscuit_Junkie''']] - former Moderator - server-renowned cake and dome addict! Runs the [[Biscuits Cubic Test Server|Official Test Server]] for Cubic Worlds and is the founder and proprietor of [[Moya]].

* [[User:SmokeandMirrors|'''SmokeandMirrors''']]-Runs Christmas Island and likes to build with the lay of the land.

== Help from Staffers ==
You can almost always count on there being at least 1 staffer on at any given time. You can ask them almost any question within reason and expect them to answer you respectfully. It is important though to know that this server is meant to be played in way that is as close to "vanilla" Minecraft as possible, so there are a few things that you should '''not''' ask them:
* Do not ask Officers or above to teleport you, under any circumstance. The staffers will decide when it is appropriate to teleport people.
* Do not ask Moderators or above to spawn items or mobs, or change the time/weather for you. You are meant to deal with these problems with the appropriate vanilla strategies. These staffers will only spawn blocks for you if you have been irreparably griefed or rolled back.
* '''Never''' ask any staff member to promote you. Ops will decide which players are worthy of promotion based on their general behavior and actions on the server.

If you have any question for a staffer and cannot seem to find them on the server, you can send them a private message on the forums. They are expected to check their inboxes periodically and respond with gusto.

Avalon

2014-01-11T18:20:09Z

Macpants: Changed to secondary world to Voxellia

{{World
|name=New Avalon
|image=New Greenview Plaza 2.png
|status=Running as Secondary World
|lifespan=Dec 16, 2011 -
}}

'''New Avalon''' is the current primary world of [[Cubic Worlds]]. It was put into commission after Bukkit RB 1.0.1 was released, though it had been incubated on [[Biscuit's Test World]] for a while before then.

== Description ==
This world replaced [[Pixellia]] as the main world when the Bukkit RB for Minecraft 1.0 was released. New Avalon is noted for its astounding beauty, and massive individual biomes, like the [[Tundra Vastus]], and the [[Great Sea]].

==Structures==
The inner sanctum of New Avalon, known as [[New Greenview]], is the spawn area. It does not rain or snow within the fence border. The [[Hall of Portals]], the [[New Avalon Central Rail Station]], [[The Great Tree of Avalon]], and the [[Bauble Competition]] historical site are located within this area, among other things.

Past the fence border, many large and complex builds exist, including [[The Enclave]], [[A. Fogo's Frigate]], the [[Greater Library]], the [[Blue Hole]], and others.

== Towns ==
Currently, New Avalon holds these major towns and kingdoms:
*The [[Ville d'Art]]
*[[Redstonia]]
*[[Hyrule]]
*[[Vallhalla]]
*[[Tropical Paradise]]
*[[Redville]]
*[[Metropolis]]
*[[Nekomundo]]
*[[NOISE]]
*[[Obstyria]]
*[[Azryia]] and [[Zeriuth]]
*[[Bella Terra]]

These towns will be transferred in the near future:
*[[The Citadel]]

== Trivia ==
* New Avalon was incubated on [[Biscuit's Test World]] for quite some time before being officially inducted into Cubic Worlds.
* For some reason, most of the towns are located north of the spawn point, past the [[Hall of Portals]].

Southwest Summit Arena

2013-12-26T19:04:56Z

Macpants: Updated all information, no updated pictures currently

{{Project
|name=Southwest Summit Arena
|image=ssa5.png
|built=[[User:Macpants|Macpants]]
|status=Functional, but Still in Progress
|world=[[New Avalon]]
|province=Uncharted
|x=-3847
|z=3806
}}

==Purpose==
To provide a place where players can experience the joys of Capture the Flag. (or at the current time, Capture the Tower)
==History==
Macpants was derping around Youtube when they happened upon a video by the Rooster Teeth folks where they had built an arena for playing "Capture the Tower." A thought crossed Mac's mind that went something like, "I don't think we have anything like that on Cubic Worlds yet. I think I'll build it!" All labor (minus mirroring the bottom floor and placing command blocks -''see below''), from terraforming to the glass covering was done by Macpants.
==Features==
*Beds enough for 6 players per team
*Equipment dispenser button
**Full Armor-with team colors on chestplate (red&blue)
**Sword
**Bow & arrows
*Three levels of platforms for accessing opponents side
**Main level- The Tower Level: Symmetric by both width and length; only one intersection of Red & Blue; Two Second level access stairways.
**Second level- The Catwalk: Symmetric only widthwise; Two intersections and four Basement level access stairways.
**Basement level- The Cactus Maze: Symmetric by both width and length; Features dead ends and cactuses surrounding the player on nearly all sides.
*Tower placement area
*One-way pit entrance doors
*Control Room
**Synchronized start lever
**Red and Blue staging area doors
**Arena exit doors to respective sides
===Status===

'''Southwest Summit Arena will be moved to the 1.7 world when the time comes.'''

The arena is functional, in that teams could play games in it. Although, it should be considered in "beta" form because its creator does not know it's limits, complete risks to competitors and spectators, or difficulty. Future assistance with play-testing would be appreciated.

Past tests were done in previous versions. Revisions have been made (cactus maze, item dispensing equipment, rule board, synchronized starting gate, etc.)
===To do===
*Finish "Beautification"
**Walls
**Start "reinforcement" buttresses
**<s>Fill in access holes/remove excess dirt blocks</s> -Done
*<s>Start spiral staircase to access tunnel</s> -Done
*<s>Rules and regulations board</s> -Done
''Possible Additions''
<s>*One-touch tower block replenisher and its redstone
*Semi-auto doors to competitor areas and its redstone</s>

==How to Play==
(to be filled in)
==Notes==
Thank you's to:
*Zolyx for assistance with the lava placement (lava now removed. How sad) and placing/programming command blocks for the item dispenser equipment
*ndrwdvdrwlnds for the buckets Mac never used :)
*pixelb0x0rz for smooth stone donation
*Fubaka for mirroring and placing half of cactus maze
*All who have participated in the two CTT tournaments and provided feedback in the forum discussion
==Trivia==
*Macpants worked on the glass roof while listening to the Complete Symphonic version of Les Miserables (in English)
*Much work was completed on the complementary parts of this build, such as the rail line and the pathway and staircase from the rail station but were completed during February on this year. As many experienced, this was the period which was lost due to the "Great Rollback." The work has since been repaired/redone.

User:Qwizzy

2013-12-24T21:27:24Z

Macpants: changed rank

{{Userboxtop}}
{{User ID|Qwizzy}}
{{User Officer}}
{{Userbox|id=[[File:Redstone Icon.PNG|44px]]|info=This user is able to construct simple circuits using redstone, such as clocks and inverters. |info-c=#FFDD00}}
{{Userboxbottom}}

== Origins ==
Qwizzy joined the server on November 25, 2011. He lost interest in multiplayer shortly thereafter and did not return to Cubic Worlds until mid-April 2012. He was worried about beginning to participate until [[User:SunnySoulSheep|SunnySoulSheep]] offered him 32 melon slices as food while he built his first branch mine about 200 blocks from Avalon spawn. His first mine was so close that it ran into the protected spawn area about 70 blocks from the central trunk of the branch mine. After a few X-rayers found their way into his mine over the months, Qwizzy decided to remove his presence from it and closed the mine permanently.
In fall 2013, Qwizzy finished mining a large obsidian source at the closed mine with the help of Will9831. That obsidian made its way into a build, detailed below.

== Bella Terra ==
He joined up with [[User:Eternify|Eternify]] in building what would become [[Bella Terra]]. While Eternify did most of the structural building, Qwizzy busied himself with filling in lots of caves and holes under the city which would spawn mobs that could not be seen, but were heard to the point of distraction.

== Alefgard ==
After moving several times within Bella Terra, Qwizzy elected to go find his own land and chose a plot abutting a Village roughly 2500 blocks from Spawn and called his claim [[Alefgard|Qwerty]]. After realizing that [[Hyrule]] was named after Link's land in ''Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', he renamed his claim [[Alefgard]] and called the village Brecconary. His new castle to be built was subsequently dubbed Tantegel Castle, which is made of Obsidian. All of this was done in honor of the ''Dragon Quest'' series of games of which Qwizzy is extremely fond.

In the summer of 2013, Qwizzy decided to move out of his original Alefgard claim into the desert biome equidistant from Obstyria and Bella Terra. He asked for his obsidian castle home, Tantegel (which was built from December 2012 to approximately May 2013) to be World-Edited and moved to the new location. Qwizzy subsequently spent many months leveling and landscaping the area in and under the castle, in addition to creating a Testificate village from scratch and catching/healing Zombie Villagers discovered in the surrounding area.

While the original Alefgard claim sits idle (complete with its obsidian border fence), Qwizzy made a new claim of "Alefgard" encompassing Bella Terra, Obstyria, as well as Tantegel Castle, to the extent that he built a massive wooden fence encasing all of it. Qwizzy regrets this completed fence as it impedes player movement for hundreds of blocks. He plans to remove every fence post except one per 16 blocks to give a better representation of a claim border without impeding movement.

== Qwill Tower ==
In August of 2013, Qwizzy also constructed what is known as Qwill Tower in Cubic City. Made of obsidian, it receives its name from a combination of Qwizzy and [[User:Will9831|Will9831]], who was instrumental in its inspiration and the mining of the obsidian necessary for its construction. Originally intended to model the Willis Tower in Chicago (formerly the Sears Tower), when it was discovered that there was already a tower in Cubic City modeled after Willis Tower. The actual tower now more closely resembles a syringe, as its creator has often lamented.

== General History ==
Qwizzy loves obsidian and everything about it. He mines vast lava pools to relax while imagining the next thing he is going to do. His affinity for obsidian is nearly as well-known as that of [[User:Vexi|VexusBaer]], to the point that as of December 2012, she has bequeathed her city of [[Obstyria]] to him as a fellow obsidian lover and trusted Minecraft acquaintance.

Staffers

2013-11-21T19:49:46Z

Macpants: Added Macpants and konekasi as officers

[[Category:Cubic Worlds]]'''Staffer''' is the term used to describe any high-ranking user who keeps order on the server and forums. While all staffers have considerably more power than normal users, they are themselves divided into ranks. Staffers follow the [[Staff Policy]] to ensure an open and friendly relationship with the players of Cubic Worlds.

== Staffer Ranks ==
The following is a list of the current staffers for Cubic Worlds, in descending rank.

=== Ops ===
An '''Op''' - short for Operator - is typically the top rank on a server, and appears red in chat. Ops have access to any and all of the server commands and responsibilities, most notably including the ability to promote and demote players to any rank and to annoy pretty much everyone by regularly restarting the server for no obvious reason.

*[[User:Zolyx|'''Zolyx''']] - the simultaneously loved and feared Chief of Staff of both Cubic Worlds and the Minecraft Museum. He is in charge of all of the higher functions of both these places as well as the forum that lets their communities mingle. Zolyx is the owner and founder of [[Cubic City]].

* [[User:Fubaka|'''Fubaka''']] - the longest running user on the server besides Zolyx himself. He is well known for creating the two [[Jump Gauntlet]]s, [[Snowview]], [[Greater Library|The Greater Library]], and others. Fubaka is the founder of [[Nova]].

=== Temp Ops ===
This rank is given to a trusted user (usually a Moderator) who is given Op status while the Op is away. It implies that the user will return to Moderator status when the Op returns. They have pretty much the same powers as an Op, but for the most part, don't know how to use them. They can look things up, though, so don't fret!

(There are currently no Temp Ops)

=== Moderators ===
'''Moderators''' are high-ranking users trusted to watch over the server and help orchestrate events. They appear orange in chat. They have most of the world-altering powers that Ops have, can spawn items, blocks, and even mobs when needed, and can promote and demote on the Guest / Member range. Like all staff members, Moderators are equipped with banhammers.

* [[User:SunnySoulSheep|'''SunnySoulSheep''']] - Due to general helpfulness, she rose to a Moderator position faster than anyone else on record. She currently watches over [[Redville]] and [[Nova]].
* [[User:JakTheMad|'''JakTheMad''']]- Owner of [[Valhalla]] and the server's foremost champion in events of all kinds.
* [[User:Shabbyjazz|'''Shabbyjazz''']]- The server's greatest woolophile.
* [[User:ColDimitri|'''ColDimitri''']] - he loves hoarding massive amounts of as many different kinds of materials as he can. This includes a horde of iron golems

=== Elders ===
'''Elders''' are staff members who have chosen to step down from staffing duties and enjoy a quiet life once again. In recognition of their service all ex-staffers of Officer or above are given this title.

* [[User:Biscuit_Junkie|'''Biscuit_Junkie''']] - former Moderator - server-renowned cake and dome addict! Runs the [[Biscuits Cubic Test Server|Official Test Server]] for Cubic Worlds and is the founder and proprietor of [[Moya]].
* [[User:Mystic_Murray|'''Mystic_Murray''']] - former Moderator - possibly the most loved user on the server. Mystic is well known for his OCD perfectionism and for being the founder and proprietor of [[The Citadel]].
* [[User:Squeedge|'''Squeedge''']] - former Moderator - one of the server's Cake Barons. He is obsessed with farms of all sorts and tries to observe as many different methods of constructing them as he can.
* [[User:DerGymnacke|'''derGymnacke''']] - former Officer - the server's other redstone wizard. He is busy most of the time working on projects given by Mystic_Murray. He also tends to make things more complicated than necessary. Warning: Making him think about redstone projects can make him go crazy and screaming things like "for SCIENCE".
* [[User:On3Win9|'''On3Win9''']] - former Officer - Is always willing to help and was instrumental in helping to complete the original [[The_Citadel|Citadel]].
* [[User:Runicrules|'''runicrules''']] - Likes to build walls encompassing large areas and invites only trusted people to help her.

=== Officers ===
'''Officers''' are the first tier of lawkeepers within the server and appear yellow in chat. Those in this position have the ability to teleport themselves and others and can dispense justice using their banhammers to get rid of troublesome users. Officers have access to rollback commands to reverse griefer damage and also serve as moderators on the Minecraft Museum forum.
* [[User:Masternoj|'''masternoj''']] - The server's official Hero of Time and co-owner of [[Hyrule]]. He hosts the official Spleef Tournaments and resides in the [[Castle Ood]]. Has an odd sense of humor and a massive symmetry OCD.
* [[User:OminousFire|'''OminousFire''']] - Cubic Worlds' renowned redstone wizard. Creator of [[Pina Park]], the [[CNG]], and [[Redstonia]], as well as the unfinished [[University of Redstone]]. Likes to help with redstone projects, when he's not busy with one of his own. Does not like to use his own materials for other's projects, but will most of the time use his own on those projects.
* [[User:brickviking|'''brickviking''']]- The Creator of the rail system and the only true viking.
* [[User:merasane|'''merasane''']]- Sage of the Forest and co-owner of [[Hyrule]].
* [[User:koads|'''koads''']]- Koads is the server's foremost hermit and owns [[The Enclave]] and [[The Lightbringers]], among other things.
*[[User:konekasi|'''konekasi''']]- He once placed third in [[Spleef Tournament III]]
*[[User:Macpants|'''Macpants''']]- The newest officer for Cubic worlds. He builds small and functional and is owner of [[Southwest Summit Arena]] and [[The Village of Reed]]. Also is Conductor for the upcoming 1.7 world's railroad.

== Help from Staffers ==
You can almost always count on there being at least 1 staffer on at any given time. You can ask them almost any question within reason and expect them to answer you respectfully. It is important though to know that this server is meant to be played in way that is as close to "vanilla" Minecraft as possible, so there are a few things that you should '''not''' ask them:
* Do not ask Officers or above to teleport you, under any circumstance. The staffers will decide when it is appropriate to teleport people.
* Do not ask Moderators or above to spawn items or mobs, or change the time/weather for you. You are meant to deal with these problems with the appropriate vanilla strategies. These staffers will only spawn blocks for you if you have been irreparably griefed or rolled back.
* '''Never''' ask any staff member to promote you. Ops will decide which players are worthy of promotion based on their general behavior and actions on the server.

If you have any question for a staffer and cannot seem to find them on the server, you can send them a private message on the forums. They are expected to check their inboxes periodically and respond with gusto.

User:Macpants

Macpants: changed rank

{{Userboxtop}}
{{User ID|Macpants}}
{{User Officer}}
{{Userboxbottom}}

Macpants is a member of Cubic Worlds who often is a wallflower in chat, occasionally jumping in with a word or two. His builds tend to be small, and practical, and their store of items speaks to that as well. It's likely that he doesn't have a whole lot to spare but will usually share what he has.
In a recent interview, he stated that he has been a part of Cubic Worlds since January, largely keeping to himself, but has recently made a larger effort to become more involved with the server as a whole. He likes touring peoples builds and also enjoys giving tours of the small projects he has built. He lives East of spawn, across the ravine from [[Blue Hole]] in his tower named [[The Cloister]] and his wood plantation is nearby. It's open to walk through by the public, although not grand by most standards.
==Trivia==
Macpants has founded [[The Village of Reed]] and [[Southwest Summit Arena]].

History

2013-11-12T01:43:42Z

Macpants: added link to Feb 17th entry

The '''History of Cubic Worlds''' is a long and complicated one. The server started on the 7th of May, 2011, and has gone through many an ordeal and phase since then. This page will overview each era and epoch within the eras, as well as pointing out historically significant events.

''(The timelines are most definitely incomplete, and I highly suggest filling them in with more important events that you remember!)''

== Era of Pixellia ==
Time period: '''May 7th to December 16th, 2011'''

This era denotes every point in time from the server's inception to the rise of [[New Avalon]] as the primary world.

=== Epoch 1; Genesis ===
Time Period: '''May 7th to May 26th, 2011'''

The first epoch of the server was a quiet one. The first generation of users rose here, and most of the users who applied in this era no longer frequent the server. Back in this age, there were no staffers apart from [[User:Zolyx|Zolyx]], but griefings were infrequent so there was no need at the time.

This epoch ended when Minecraft 1.6 was released, and the doors were opened to total chaos in the [[1.6 Vanilla World]].

=== Epoch 2; 1.6 Anarchy ===
Time Period: '''May 26th to June 1st, 2011'''

Due to the lack of preparedness on both the server and Bukkit's part for the complete mess that was Minecraft 1.6, the server was thrown into utter chaos. Due to the lack of a proper Bukkit update, the server was reopened on 'Vanilla Time' on the 29th of May to a [[1.6 Vanilla World|temporary world]], in order to prevent [[Pixellia]] from being harmed by rabid griefers. This persisted until June 1st, when Bukkit 1.6.6 came out.

|-
|}

=== Epoch 3; Age of Instability ===
Time Period: '''June 1st to September 14th, 2011'''

Upon the return to [[Pixellia]] and the re-stabilization of the server's security, Cubic Worlds went through the high point of it's life, and many new members emerged from the fold during this period. Most of Pixellia's major towns and builds belong to this epoch, and the first staffers were crowned during this time as well. This epoch saw a few disasters, and cradled the [[Ore World]].

The server saw many sessions of ups and down in this time frame, as the internal game and mods went through a period of upheaval. General hatred of Multiplay was at its peak in this period.

This epoch swiftly ended when 1.8 arrived, creating another wave of destabilization.

=== Epoch 1; Arrival of Avalon ===
Time Period: '''December 16th, 2011 - April 30th, 2012'''

New Avalon is made the primary world after long incubation on Biscuit's Test Server. From there, many large scale projects are started, and massive new biomes and continents are charted. Eventually, Monkz's hosting is dropped and yet another new host is found in CreeperHost. Pixellia and Avalon, (the latter now referred to as '''Old Avalon''') are largely abandoned and scheduled for various fates.

This epoch ended when the server updated to 1.2.

Staffers

2013-11-12T01:41:27Z

Macpants: moved runicrules from Officer to Elder

[[Category:Cubic Worlds]]'''Staffer''' is the term used to describe any high-ranking user who keeps order on the server and forums. While all staffers have considerably more power than normal users, they are themselves divided into ranks. Staffers follow the [[Staff Policy]] to ensure an open and friendly relationship with the players of Cubic Worlds.

== Staffer Ranks ==
The following is a list of the current staffers for Cubic Worlds, in descending rank.

=== Ops ===
An '''Op''' - short for Operator - is typically the top rank on a server, and appears red in chat. Ops have access to any and all of the server commands and responsibilities, most notably including the ability to promote and demote players to any rank and to annoy pretty much everyone by regularly restarting the server for no obvious reason.

*[[User:Zolyx|'''Zolyx''']] - the simultaneously loved and feared Chief of Staff of both Cubic Worlds and the Minecraft Museum. He is in charge of all of the higher functions of both these places as well as the forum that lets their communities mingle. Zolyx is the owner and founder of [[Cubic City]].

* [[User:Fubaka|'''Fubaka''']] - the longest running user on the server besides Zolyx himself. He is well known for creating the two [[Jump Gauntlet]]s, [[Snowview]], [[Greater Library|The Greater Library]], and others. Fubaka is the founder of [[Nova]].

=== Temp Ops ===
This rank is given to a trusted user (usually a Moderator) who is given Op status while the Op is away. It implies that the user will return to Moderator status when the Op returns. They have pretty much the same powers as an Op, but for the most part, don't know how to use them. They can look things up, though, so don't fret!

(There are currently no Temp Ops)

=== Moderators ===
'''Moderators''' are high-ranking users trusted to watch over the server and help orchestrate events. They appear orange in chat. They have most of the world-altering powers that Ops have, can spawn items, blocks, and even mobs when needed, and can promote and demote on the Guest / Member range. Like all staff members, Moderators are equipped with banhammers.

* [[User:SunnySoulSheep|'''SunnySoulSheep''']] - Due to general helpfulness, she rose to a Moderator position faster than anyone else on record. She currently watches over [[Redville]] and [[Nova]].
* [[User:JakTheMad|'''JakTheMad''']]- Owner of [[Valhalla]] and the server's foremost champion in events of all kinds.
* [[User:Shabbyjazz|'''Shabbyjazz''']]- The server's greatest woolophile.
* [[User:ColDimitri|'''ColDimitri''']] - he loves hoarding massive amounts of as many different kinds of materials as he can. This includes a horde of iron golems

=== Elders ===
'''Elders''' are staff members who have chosen to step down from staffing duties and enjoy a quiet life once again. In recognition of their service all ex-staffers of Officer or above are given this title.

* [[User:Biscuit_Junkie|'''Biscuit_Junkie''']] - former Moderator - server-renowned cake and dome addict! Runs the [[Biscuits Cubic Test Server|Official Test Server]] for Cubic Worlds and is the founder and proprietor of [[Moya]].
* [[User:Mystic_Murray|'''Mystic_Murray''']] - former Moderator - possibly the most loved user on the server. Mystic is well known for his OCD perfectionism and for being the founder and proprietor of [[The Citadel]].
* [[User:Squeedge|'''Squeedge''']] - former Moderator - one of the server's Cake Barons. He is obsessed with farms of all sorts and tries to observe as many different methods of constructing them as he can.
* [[User:DerGymnacke|'''derGymnacke''']] - former Officer - the server's other redstone wizard. He is busy most of the time working on projects given by Mystic_Murray. He also tends to make things more complicated than necessary. Warning: Making him think about redstone projects can make him go crazy and screaming things like "for SCIENCE".
* [[User:On3Win9|'''On3Win9''']] - former Officer - Is always willing to help and was instrumental in helping to complete the original [[The_Citadel|Citadel]].
* [[User:Runicrules|'''runicrules''']] - Likes to build walls encompassing large areas and invites only trusted people to help her.

=== Officers ===
'''Officers''' are the first tier of lawkeepers within the server and appear yellow in chat. Those in this position have the ability to teleport themselves and others and can dispense justice using their banhammers to get rid of troublesome users. Officers have access to rollback commands to reverse griefer damage and also serve as moderators on the Minecraft Museum forum.
* [[User:Masternoj|'''masternoj''']] - The server's official Hero of Time and co-owner of [[Hyrule]]. He hosts the official Spleef Tournaments and resides in the [[Castle Ood]]. Has an odd sense of humor and a massive symmetry OCD.
* [[User:OminousFire|'''OminousFire''']] - Cubic Worlds' renowned redstone wizard. Creator of [[Pina Park]], the [[CNG]], and [[Redstonia]], as well as the unfinished [[University of Redstone]]. Likes to help with redstone projects, when he's not busy with one of his own. Does not like to use his own materials for other's projects, but will most of the time use his own on those projects.
* [[User:brickviking|'''brickviking''']]- The Creator of the rail system and the only true viking.
* [[User:merasane|'''merasane''']]- Sage of the Forest and co-owner of [[Hyrule]].
* [[User:koads|'''koads''']]- The newest officer. Koads is the server's foremost hermit and owns [[The Enclave]] and [[The Lightbringers]], among other things.

== Help from Staffers ==
You can almost always count on there being at least 1 staffer on at any given time. You can ask them almost any question within reason and expect them to answer you respectfully. It is important though to know that this server is meant to be played in way that is as close to "vanilla" Minecraft as possible, so there are a few things that you should '''not''' ask them:
* Do not ask Officers or above to teleport you, under any circumstance. The staffers will decide when it is appropriate to teleport people.
* Do not ask Moderators or above to spawn items or mobs, or change the time/weather for you. You are meant to deal with these problems with the appropriate vanilla strategies. These staffers will only spawn blocks for you if you have been irreparably griefed or rolled back.
* '''Never''' ask any staff member to promote you. Ops will decide which players are worthy of promotion based on their general behavior and actions on the server.

If you have any question for a staffer and cannot seem to find them on the server, you can send them a private message on the forums. They are expected to check their inboxes periodically and respond with gusto.

History

2013-11-06T22:52:43Z

Macpants: Added Capture the Tower tourney, 2nd anniversary event.

The '''History of Cubic Worlds''' is a long and complicated one. The server started on the 7th of May, 2011, and has gone through many an ordeal and phase since then. This page will overview each era and epoch within the eras, as well as pointing out historically significant events.

''(The timelines are most definitely incomplete, and I highly suggest filling them in with more important events that you remember!)''

== Era of Pixellia ==
Time period: '''May 7th to December 16th, 2011'''

This era denotes every point in time from the server's inception to the rise of [[New Avalon]] as the primary world.

=== Epoch 1; Genesis ===
Time Period: '''May 7th to May 26th, 2011'''

The first epoch of the server was a quiet one. The first generation of users rose here, and most of the users who applied in this era no longer frequent the server. Back in this age, there were no staffers apart from [[User:Zolyx|Zolyx]], but griefings were infrequent so there was no need at the time.

This epoch ended when Minecraft 1.6 was released, and the doors were opened to total chaos in the [[1.6 Vanilla World]].

=== Epoch 2; 1.6 Anarchy ===
Time Period: '''May 26th to June 1st, 2011'''

Due to the lack of preparedness on both the server and Bukkit's part for the complete mess that was Minecraft 1.6, the server was thrown into utter chaos. Due to the lack of a proper Bukkit update, the server was reopened on 'Vanilla Time' on the 29th of May to a [[1.6 Vanilla World|temporary world]], in order to prevent [[Pixellia]] from being harmed by rabid griefers. This persisted until June 1st, when Bukkit 1.6.6 came out.

|-
|}

=== Epoch 3; Age of Instability ===
Time Period: '''June 1st to September 14th, 2011'''

Upon the return to [[Pixellia]] and the re-stabilization of the server's security, Cubic Worlds went through the high point of it's life, and many new members emerged from the fold during this period. Most of Pixellia's major towns and builds belong to this epoch, and the first staffers were crowned during this time as well. This epoch saw a few disasters, and cradled the [[Ore World]].

The server saw many sessions of ups and down in this time frame, as the internal game and mods went through a period of upheaval. General hatred of Multiplay was at its peak in this period.

This epoch swiftly ended when 1.8 arrived, creating another wave of destabilization.

Time Period: '''December 16th, 2011 to present'''

=== Epoch 1; Arrival of Avalon ===
Time Period: '''December 16th, 2011 - April 30th, 2012'''

New Avalon is made the primary world after long incubation on Biscuit's Test Server. From there, many large scale projects are started, and massive new biomes and continents are charted. Eventually, Monkz's hosting is dropped and yet another new host is found in CreeperHost. Pixellia and Avalon, (the latter now referred to as '''Old Avalon''') are largely abandoned and scheduled for various fates.

This epoch ended when the server updated to 1.2.

History

2013-11-06T22:35:55Z

Macpants: Added new host testing, host move, Crimson Cup beginning

The '''History of Cubic Worlds''' is a long and complicated one. The server started on the 7th of May, 2011, and has gone through many an ordeal and phase since then. This page will overview each era and epoch within the eras, as well as pointing out historically significant events.

''(The timelines are most definitely incomplete, and I highly suggest filling them in with more important events that you remember!)''

== Era of Pixellia ==
Time period: '''May 7th to December 16th, 2011'''

This era denotes every point in time from the server's inception to the rise of [[New Avalon]] as the primary world.

=== Epoch 1; Genesis ===
Time Period: '''May 7th to May 26th, 2011'''

The first epoch of the server was a quiet one. The first generation of users rose here, and most of the users who applied in this era no longer frequent the server. Back in this age, there were no staffers apart from [[User:Zolyx|Zolyx]], but griefings were infrequent so there was no need at the time.

This epoch ended when Minecraft 1.6 was released, and the doors were opened to total chaos in the [[1.6 Vanilla World]].

|-
|}

=== Epoch 2; 1.6 Anarchy ===
Time Period: '''May 26th to June 1st, 2011'''

Due to the lack of preparedness on both the server and Bukkit's part for the complete mess that was Minecraft 1.6, the server was thrown into utter chaos. Due to the lack of a proper Bukkit update, the server was reopened on 'Vanilla Time' on the 29th of May to a [[1.6 Vanilla World|temporary world]], in order to prevent [[Pixellia]] from being harmed by rabid griefers. This persisted until June 1st, when Bukkit 1.6.6 came out.

|-
|}

=== Epoch 3; Age of Instability ===
Time Period: '''June 1st to September 14th, 2011'''

Upon the return to [[Pixellia]] and the re-stabilization of the server's security, Cubic Worlds went through the high point of it's life, and many new members emerged from the fold during this period. Most of Pixellia's major towns and builds belong to this epoch, and the first staffers were crowned during this time as well. This epoch saw a few disasters, and cradled the [[Ore World]].

The server saw many sessions of ups and down in this time frame, as the internal game and mods went through a period of upheaval. General hatred of Multiplay was at its peak in this period.

This epoch swiftly ended when 1.8 arrived, creating another wave of destabilization.

Macpants:

I think it's time we updated the Provinces with Dynmap pictures and more named provinces, as we have (I believe) the entire map explored and more land that has been settled upon. I'm willing to head this up as soon as I finish Silver Valley Stables and Dynmap comes back online. Help with this would be great. -Macpants

History

2013-09-04T14:41:34Z

Macpants: Added event to Epoch 4, added "great rollback", deleted 'unknown when epoch will end' and added end date for epoch 3

The '''History of Cubic Worlds''' is a long and complicated one. The server started on the 7th of May, 2011, and has gone through many an ordeal and phase since then. This page will overview each era and epoch within the eras, as well as pointing out historically significant events.

''(The timelines are most definitely incomplete, and I highly suggest filling them in with more important events that you remember!)''

== Era of Pixellia ==
Time period: '''May 7th to December 16th, 2011'''

This era denotes every point in time from the server's inception to the rise of [[New Avalon]] as the primary world.

=== Epoch 1; Genesis ===
Time Period: '''May 7th to May 26th, 2011'''

The first epoch of the server was a quiet one. The first generation of users rose here, and most of the users who applied in this era no longer frequent the server. Back in this age, there were no staffers apart from [[User:Zolyx|Zolyx]], but griefings were infrequent so there was no need at the time.

This epoch ended when Minecraft 1.6 was released, and the doors were opened to total chaos in the [[1.6 Vanilla World]].

'''Timeline'''

|-
|}

=== Epoch 2; 1.6 Anarchy ===
Time Period: '''May 26th to June 1st, 2011'''

Due to the lack of preparedness on both the server and Bukkit's part for the complete mess that was Minecraft 1.6, the server was thrown into utter chaos. Due to the lack of a proper Bukkit update, the server was reopened on 'Vanilla Time' on the 29th of May to a [[1.6 Vanilla World|temporary world]], in order to prevent [[Pixellia]] from being harmed by rabid griefers. This persisted until June 1st, when Bukkit 1.6.6 came out.

|-
|}

=== Epoch 3; Age of Instability ===
Time Period: '''June 1st to September 14th, 2011'''

Upon the return to [[Pixellia]] and the re-stabilization of the server's security, Cubic Worlds went through the high point of it's life, and many new members emerged from the fold during this period. Most of Pixellia's major towns and builds belong to this epoch, and the first staffers were crowned during this time as well. This epoch saw a few disasters, and cradled the [[Ore World]].

The server saw many sessions of ups and down in this time frame, as the internal game and mods went through a period of upheaval. General hatred of Multiplay was at its peak in this period.

This epoch swiftly ended when 1.8 arrived, creating another wave of destabilization.

Eventually, Monkz's hosting is dropped and yet another new host is found in CreeperHost. Pixellia and Avalon, (the latter now referred to as '''Old Avalon''') are largely abandoned and scheduled for various fates.

This epoch ended when the server updated to 1.2.

Cubic Worlds Grinder List

Macpants: created page, created two lists-public and private

This page lists the declared experience grinders located in Cubic Worlds. Currently, there are two classifcations of grinders:
<br>'''Public'''- In which anyone may enter into and use to accumulate experience levels and/or mob drops.
<br>'''Private'''- Claimed by a player and may not be used unless express permission is granted.

Grinders may not have their own page but the owner will be identified. If permission to use a grinder is wanted, contact the owner via private message in the [http://minecraftmuseum.net/forum/index.php Forums]

== New Rule? ==

I think we had one that we added. I cannot remember for the life of me what it was though. Also, rules on sand mining added.

Col: Looking over the rules, Do the traps have be labeled in a home?, since their meant to protect the home.

== Holes... ==

Should death-holes be considered a trap or should we put something in the rules about them being a big nono ?
Macpants: Personally, I think they're equivalent to reverse one-block towers so I think they should be a big no-no too.

The Village of Reed

Macpants: Moved the chests mentioned-out of date info

{{Village
|name=Reed
|image=village_of_reed10_11_12.png

'''The Village of Reed''' is a small island town on the outskirts of [[New Avalon]]. This village was "offically" founded on the 29th of September, 2012. Although still in its infancy, Reed could now be considered a fairly well functioning town, despite currently only having three residential cottages. (as of October 19th, 2012)

===Current Progress===

Leveling land, filling in holes, and build locations are, for the most part, finished. Although there will most likely be small tweaks and changes in the future.
The island was successfully surveyed from 9/30/12-10/2/12 and land was divided according to how Macpants' was being lead by her fairy-like (not like Navi!!) spirit.
The following areas/structures are one step closer to development:
*Chest shop marketplace
*A Park for nice scenery '''-In Progress'''
*Potential event areas
*Rail station '''In Progress --rail connection upcoming'''
*[[Reed Public Libray]] '''-In Progress'''

The following areas are open:
*Farms '''-OPEN but In Progress''' As with most farms, please replant.
*Reed Town Hall
*Residential area
*NPC trading area
*All entrances to caves systems -'''Note:''' Caves are private; only for residents of Reed
*Public boat docks

As of Oct. 19th, the structures currently erected are '''Founder's Spring''' the '''Info Board''', the rail station, an NPC containment area (for emerald based trading), [[Reed Public Library]], Town Hall, the new bridge, a few wooden pathways, and three houses.

====Path Lighting====
Knight Electric Corp. has graciously arranged for a lighting system on Reed that only illuminates during the night. All wiring was laid by Macpants. The light sensor was built and tweaked by Knight08KR. This system allows for a more authentic experience while exploring the simple beauty of Reed.

===Player Homes===
*[[User:Fubaka|Fubaka]]'s [[Ambassadorial Reed Estate]]
* ndrwdvdrwlnds' Cabin
*superhigh6's Cabin

==Inquiries==
Any donations, or questions about the village itself, or possible residency in Reed should be directed to [[User:Macpants|Macpants]]

==Trivia==
*Reed was purchased and founded on the same day.
*The name is derived from the island's shoreline being completely surrounded by sugar cane.
*As Macpants enjoys letting the project lead the way, as opposed to her leading it, Reed will most likely be a work in progress for the foreseeable future.
*This page will be edited and changed so much that you should definitely keep coming back and see what changes, just for sheer amusement.

Macpants: /* Trivia */

{{Userboxtop}}
{{User ID|Macpants}}
{{User VIP}}
{{Userboxbottom}}

Macpants is a female member of Cubic Worlds who often is a wallflower in chat, occasionally jumping in with a word or two. Her builds tend to be small, and practical, and her store of items speaks to that as well. It's likely that doesn't have a whole lot to spare but will usually share what she has.
In a recent interview, she stated that she has been a part of Cubic Worlds since January, largely keeping to herself, but has recently made a larger effort to become more involved with the server as a whole. She lives East of spawn in her new tower named [[The Cloister]] and her birch plantation is nearby.

Macpants is a female member of Cubic Worlds who often is a wallflower in chat, occasionally jumping in with a word or two. Her builds tend to be small, and practical, and her store of items speaks to that as well. It's likely that doesn't have a whole lot to spare but will usually share what she has.
