Short summary of Cosmic Andy's VZones Q&A
The biggest discussion was about the radio show time slot. Many players wanted scheduled games to run during the radio show so people who don’t attend would still have something to do. Andy said he wants to protect the radio show as a community gathering and worries that official games would reduce attendance and eventually kill the show. However, he clarified that unofficial games are allowed during the radio show, but they can’t be scheduled, broadcast, or use official prizes.
Main outcomes and promises
- ✅ Game Dome teleporter was the most popular community request and was officially noted.
- ✅ 100% pawning was also requested, and Andy said both the teleporter and 100% pawning would be done on Monday.
- ✅ Capacity for TST Elevator 3 (Relics area) will be increased so turf owners can access their turfs more easily during busy times.
- ✅ More London turf/locale content is planned for June.
- ✅ Andy agreed that new games are important and is exploring acquiring source code for older games so VZones can maintain and expand them.
- ✅ Classic drop hunts (fuzzies, foxes, etc.) were discussed and noted as something players would like to see return.
Staff/Guide discussion
Many members asked about bringing back Guides, Acolytes, or staff helpers. Andy strongly opposed restoring the old staff structure, saying past staff power struggles caused major problems and that most old staff duties are now automated. He encouraged players to help newcomers through the Welcomers group instead.
Other points
- Players requested more decorating items, avatar slots, better support for newcomers, and easier ways to escape mazes.
- Andy said VZones development is still heavily focused on the future cloud/web version.
- He encouraged members to submit support tickets for suggestions and unresolved issues.
Overall: The meeting was largely positive. The community strongly backed a Game Dome teleporter, unofficial games during radio-show hours were clarified as allowed, and Andy committed to several small but popular quality-of-life improvements.

BUMP Competition Meeting Summary
BUMP Competition Meeting Summary 1. Competition Winners & Repeat Wins
Discussion
Participants raised concerns that the same people winning month after month discourages others from participating.
Agreed
- A player who wins cannot win again for the next 3 months.
- Players may still participate and score points during that period, but are ineligible for prizes.
Open Questions
- Does this restriction apply equally to both team and individual prizes?
- How will this be enforced if players use alternate avatars?
2. Alternate Avatars (Alts)
Discussion
A lengthy discussion took place regarding fairness, multiple avatars, enforcement, and privacy concerns.
Agreed
- Competition participation will be limited to ONE registered gaming avatar per account.
- Players will designate their competition avatar through the website profile system.
- Whether the avatar is a main avatar or an alt does not matter; only the registered competition avatar may compete for points and prizes.
Open Questions
- How enforcement will work for undisclosed alternate accounts.
- Whether hosts should know which avatars belong to which accounts.
3. Last-Minute / Impromptu Competition Games
Discussion
Opinions were divided between:
- Keeping impromptu games to fill empty schedule slots.
- Requiring advance notice so all players have a fair opportunity to participate.
Concerns included:
- Players planning their real-life schedules around games.
- Perceived advantages for certain time zones or groups.
- Lack of visibility for games added shortly before start time.
Agreed
- Competition games will require 24 hours notice during a trial period (June).
- The rule will be reviewed after the trial period.
Open Questions
- Whether a shorter notice period (e.g. 8–12 hours) would be more appropriate.
- Whether impromptu games should be allowed without competition points.
- Whether a broadcast system should be used for short-notice games.
4. Competition Complaints & Rule Adjustments
Discussion
The organizer reported spending a significant amount of time handling competition-related complaints and support issues.
Agreed
- Rules may be adjusted monthly as experience is gained.
- A follow-up meeting will be held next month to review the effectiveness of the changes.
5. Competition Length
Discussion
Several participants felt a month-long competition is too long.
Suggestions included:
- Two-week competitions.
- Shorter competition cycles overall.
Open Questions
- No decision was made.
- Competition duration remains…
