Right Tombstone is broken. Keeps giving errors. I suspect the actual Jar file is buggered. Will replace it with new version this week.
Multiverse is screwing around and we could not load up Arcadia. So we created a new World Arcadion and have a portal setup and ready for the RPG server launch.

BACK AGAIN
Been a while since anyone posted anything so I thought I may aswell.
We are uptodate Minecraft 1.6.6. There are a few bugs we are still working through, we have sorted out the NoCiv issue that was preventing wolves and other animals from spawning in civilized areas.
Permissions are setup for everyone. Drilling is now enabled.
Need to look at the tombstone plugin. Ever since I updated it something is not right there.
The RPG Server plugins are all ready and all we need to do is set up the portals and worlds.

More Plugins
Okay So below are a list of plugins I have found. I will list them by 'tested and suggested' and Suggested. Suggested ones I have not tested yet or am unable to easily test and I want feed back before I bother trying to do so.
Tested and Suggested
Booster Track - Any cart that travels over a gold or diamond block gets boosted
SheepFeed - Sheep regrow ther wool over time after you feed them
Lamp Stone - Creates lights that turn off during the day.
GlowStone Drop - Get a glow stone instead of Dust. Have not checked yet if its possible, but this should only be enabled on the home world so that going to the nether to get more glow stone is still a bit of a challenge
Flowing Lava - Obsidian - Turns flowing lava into obsidian when touched by water, instead fo cobblestone
Civilized Spawn - Prevents Monsters from spawning in Developed areas. Works well, it does not make it safe at night but it does make splodies in your house alot less common
Infitne Lava - Lave flows regenerate as Water does.
Tested and Rejected
Nether - Works well enough, but our portal system is superior and more user friendly.
Portable Tourch - A mobile tourch, burns out after a while - Terrible, when you place a block it goes dark until you move, and the light emitted is too little to be very useful
Magnet Block - Movable structures, Controlled by redstone - Saddly its too buggy or too complex at this time. Either way I was unable to get a properly functioning system going
Suggested
Natural Giants - Spawns GIANT mobs could be fun
Tent This - Create instant temporary 'tents' useful when we go exploring
Fast Obsidian - Allows us to adjust the speed at which obsidian is mined
Glass Drop - Break Glass, Get a block
Vegitaion - Adds some extra plants and stuff
Thermostat - Adds Temperature effects
Vampires - Adds Vampires, and Vampire Curse
Growbie - Adds ability to grow different things with Bone meal, Like WHITE trees and pumpkins and such
Snowballz - Snowballs can spread ice in water and put snow on tiles.
Ice Drop - Break Ice, get a Drop
Monster Catcher - Think... Pokemon
Mine Craft Map - A map
Dynamap - Another option for map
Map Makers - Generates a map for other map applications
Measuring Tape - A measuring tape. Brillaint Idea.
Controller Block - Think this is the one you where talking about Fuzzy
Pumpkin Diver - Use Pumpkins as Scuba Gear
Lockette - Lock Chests and Doors and Such
Sign That Chest - Lets you put signs on chests

Teh Seach For More Plugins
Im' currently testing a few new plugins that should add some versatility to the world. I am specifically looking for ones that will add something to the game mechanically with out the use of command line strings. Also looking for fun and tweeking mods.
Currently I have found 1 Mod and tested it called Retractible Bridges and it works very well.
Expect a post with a list for your approval phuzzy

Minecraft Updated to V1.4
Well it was bound to happen :) mine craft updated and now the server is out of date. Did some reading and there is a chance that when Bukkit comes back online with new version that some plugins will not work anymore, aparently due to some reworking of how MC handles blocks. So Phuzzy might need to do a cold start of server and then load the pluggins one by one.
Bukkit did not have an updated server at time of writing. So Phuzzy im sure you will look into all this when you have time this weekend.
Perhaps we should look into some kind of stop gap where we have the official server (with no plugins/addons/mods) ready so we can still play. Don't know the validity of this plan though.

As You May Have Noticed...
Due to the excessive lag on the server last night I decided to mess with the blog :P I think it looks pretty cool.
Decided to redo the Plugin poll to individual polls for each one. Please all recast your votes.
On Plugins. I have setup a test server on my local system that I will use to test various plugins and see there usefullness. Currently im testing the Move Craft Plugin
I have found that it could be useful if only for the DRILL option. The drill vehicle allows you to create a construct with certain blocks (Diamond Blocks as standard) that will break other blocks that they pass through.
The only major issue I have found with this is if you where to build a very VERY large drill (almost impossible given that you need 9 blocks of Diamond to actually make a 'drill bit') could cause massive server lag as it grinds away large areas and drops the blocks.
So we might just decide that this Mod will only be active at lans.
Currently the vehicles built with this mod can not be rotated, so it would be a situation where we take all the components to a location, construct the drill and grind the area down and bring the resources back home after deconstructing the drill.

Angry Mobs
Ok so id like to her from you guys on this:
I have a few ideas for mobs, considering how you all moan about creepers n such.
1.) Drop the creepers completely. This might cause other limitations...
2.) Get a plugin that prevents them from spawning anywhere near us... this ight take some time to set up
3.) Link a new world to ours... ie a new gate like the one that goes to the Nether. House it in the barracks along with the Nether Gate. This world will then be heavy-combat... ie no neutral mobs like pigs or cows, but will have LOADS of hostile creeps, including giant creepers, pigmen, and possibly creeper queens or something like that. In turn, ill then disable all hostile mobs in our world
This can then be extended further to have a sort of domain system... ie ill spawn a world... and then edit it to have clear areas for the different hostile forces... with unique or boss monsters in those areas.
I might also consider adding in the Gun SDK and power armor, but then ill be pumping up creep difficulty LOADS.
The extra world however, will place a little extra strain on the server, as does any additional world (yes the nether counts for this)
