ShareThisThis is awesome, though. Summer's here and the Interguild is getting active again, so lots of stuff happened this week.
Aeon
I posted on the Aeon Update Blog on Wednesday of last week. I've still been working on Aeon lately, but the only reason I haven't posted on the blog again is because I'm still in the middle of planning how I'm going to get some of these features to work. In the past I would've just left these features to be planned out another day, but after everything I learned at university this year, I know that I have to answer all of these tough questions now. This means that when I start coding, it'll be smooth sailing, unless I run into something I overlooked.
But yeah, I've been working hard on this. You can expect quite a lengthy blog entry explaining my final design and the problems I ran into. In fact, I already have two drafts saved in the blog system for posts that I plan to publish eventually. Even though the blogs take some time to write, I really like to use them as a way of reviewing my work, because it isn't until you try explaining something to someone that you see a lot of the holes in the design.
Minecraft
The day after we posted the last weekly update, Isa started the Interguild's first Minecraft Competition. Unfortunately our Minecraft server has been crashing a lot lately, and now it's practically unusable. I haven't really been paying much attention to what's been going on, but the problem is definitely on Brohoster's side. We are currently discussing switching hosts and buying something with more space and features.

Server is down again. Brohoster aren't treating us like Bro's.
Last weekend, I spent almost two hours filming a video tour of the current server with voice-over narration. After editing, the final video ended up being 1 hour and 25 minutes long. I was planning to break it up into parts, but it turned out to be a huge hassle so I just uploaded the full video. But the video really gives you a sense of how big our world is already. It's kind of hard to believe that all of this was done in a couple months.
The other day, I finally added Minecraft to the games system so that we could add individual projects as "levels" in the level database. Of course, the server has been so awful lately that no one has been able to actually start this. So far the only "Minecraft levels" we have so far are plans to build more stuff. Some of these plans are really could, though, so you should definitely check them out.
Interguild Olympics
It's that time of year again.... We opened up an ideas topic to discuss things that could make this year's IO even better than last year's. We'll likely have teams again, so we should probably start holding sign ups soon.
Everything else
D52 wants to be impressed in one post or less
CSD changed his avatar
Thomas has been chatbox banned for two weeks, "requested by Thomas". Quirvy missed his chatbox posts so much that he built a Thombot to take his place.
Dando has revived the Guess the Member thread.
I can't believe these guys are actually going to finish this
The value of the Close Encounter award has been drastically decreasing in value ever since Haily started playing on our Minecraft server.
Fail of the Week
Who else?
But if there were to be a non-Thomas second place, it would be jorster failing to notice that jellsprout had in fact answered his question.
He actually tied with Thomas for second place for Thomas' all-text facepalm.
Win of the Week
Seriously, Dando's End User License Agreement skyrocketed to the top of the most highest rated posts of all time.
EPIC WIN
