Revision of the Playerworld Rules

[PrinceDark]

PWA should cover the topic of remaking an entire server.

I agree. In the event of a conflict - the original owner wants it deleted, the levels staff want to keep it going (and even raise the funds to pay off the hosting bill), who should the PWA support? Is it the Owner's content to delete as they see fit? Is it the levels staff's to use despite the Owner's wishes? What if the levels staff split? What if two servers spontaneously arise, each using levels quite similar to a recently-sabotaged server? What if a levels admin starts his own server without the previous owner's permission?

Personally, I think ideally projects should be sorted by genre and compatible projects should be combined - if two people want to make medeval comical servers, there's one Monkey Island server, and if two people want to make space operas, there's one Star Wars server...

I say everyone should just model after Maloria:
No one gets RC except for the Manager and graphics people (because they can't use this next solution).
All development positions (except for graphic artists) use in-game tools to create and "upload" their content.

No RCs for the win! It is a thing of the future!

What's the difference between a staff member using RC's built-in functions to do their work over using custom tools that do the exact same thing on client?

While in structure it will certainly prevent the problem from arising - if no levels team has the physical ability to resurrect a deleted server, they bloody well won't - is that really a good thing? If Jimmy deleted Hypothetica, would it really be amiss for Billy to upload it again? What's in Graal's best interest, and what does Graal owe Jimmy? Or Billy? Or the players?
