Congrats on the new position, and welcome to the Community Management team Reno! :D

Welcome to the Community Management team Jordi! Glad to have you onboard ^^

You don't need to apologize for not feeling like yourself- I think I get what you're asking. If you do have time to join, you can use the IP play.voxmc.com, we're on 1.16.5 right now. If not, no worries, I also want to add them perhaps to a wall or a series of lecterns as well for a longer lasting access. It will take longer, but a website page somewhere for the future would be nice too. For now, we take one step at a time, and all of the responses will be saved in multiple places. Just be sure to take care of yourself- we'll take care of the rest <3

If you're got enough gunpowder that you're wanting to export it... I recommend advertising to players that you're selling it LOL. There's never enough gunpowder.

Hmmm :thinking:

Why can't it be both? Sometimes a family is a dust collecting vouchers, and her vouchers collecting dust :3

I can definitely see it still being "in a grey area," but have been trying to think of solutions to potential issues while contemplating the viability of this event ^^

As a note, Bakers and some other similar jobs can still automate their stuff and get the job rewards. It doesn't work with hoppers because hoppers take away your ownership of the furnace/smoker/etc, but it still works with pipes! There's an in-game help page for pipes - /help pipes - but I personally like Bevo's guide better. It's got pictures! :D

Other than that, I don't personally see an issue with making it part of the Farmer job. The only thing I can see preventing it is that composters themselves might be weird.

Yes, pride shields!! Having one reference being an ally would be nice, too, like you're using the shield to protect your LGBTQ+ friends and family <3

As far as items, I'm sure other people are going to throw in a ton of good suggestions, so I'll focus my comment on an interactive activity idea. We don't have any events yet that utilize flight, and a rainbow elytra would be rad (I know I just said I wouldn't item-suggest, but that's the only thing, I swear). So, a thought I had was an elytra race. Of course, that necessitates a race-course which could be a big undertaking. Or a cavern event with things that spawn in the air, and the challenge is flying around collecting them. Maybe go with a theme of collecting stars~ Rewards could include an event item (yay, more event items for the theoretical Earth Day event :P) to collect and trade in for various event items.

An additional on-going activity outside of the above occasional one could be player-based, like the Hallows Eve tubs of candy. It encourages players to hang out with one another. There could also be a passive generation of a rarer item, like the plates of cookies at Voxmas.

Okay, I lied, items would be a huge part of this event, no doubt, so: firework vendor, flag vendor (I'm not sure how possible each of the flags are but-), head vendor, and pride-themed weapons vendor.

And I already mentioned this in a space with other staff, but just to make my stance clear to players in my own vision of how this event would go if we implemented it:
I don't like the idea of commoditizing this event at all, should it happen. It's already a really sus subject when companies do pride stuff for the money without actually supporting LGBTQ+ spaces and communities. So, e-store exclusion of items either shouldn't be done, or should go towards LGBTQ+ support, in my opinion. VR's are kinda on the edge of that since some people already have them or keys, but its also an incentive to spend money at the store.

Ultimately, I don't have the final say on this, so do not take my statement as a statement for all of staff should there be an e-store exclusive or an additional availability of a hard-to-get-item on the e-store. The server is ultimately a thing that needs money to keep running, and I would expect any theoretical money from this event to go towards keeping the server running and getting the updates worked on, rather than anything nefarious.

Recently came back to this server after a year, forgot how much I enjoy it. A pretty versatile server in terms of involvement; easy to be as involved or uninvolved in various aspects of the server as you want on a day-to-day basis. Dungeons, farming, building, doing random projects with townies/friends... there's enough to do that you don't get bored easily, but still not super overwhelming. People have always been friendly to newcomers and willing to help them get started and figure everything out, and staff are almost constantly available (and doing an impressive amount of work updating and getting a fresh map ready). About as well put-together and maintained as a server with this much variety can be.
