    Beginning at approximately 8pm Arizona time and extending until about midnight, the servers will be intermittently available while updates are performed.

    To find the time in your timezone, see here: http://everytimezone.com/#2015-2-17,-540,cn3

    At times, servers may appear online but you may be unable to connect. There will be several restarts during this time, and you may often get kicked from the server. One or more specific servers may experience extended downtime during this maintenance.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding.

    I will be applying security patches for the operating system and adding a plugin for Bungee that will lock player's usernames to their original username before name changes were possible. This will fix issues where you see new usernames on /glist while their name in chat is the old name, and it will allow moderators to mute/ban/send players using their original name. It will also hopefully fix issues helpers had with commands not working if they changed their name.

  20. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 are correct...6 of 10 ain't bad! 10 isn't, but the question omitted the word "directly" and is thrown out.

    3 - The rights to the music/song "Hail to the Redskins" was aquired by Clint Murchison, one of the partners trying to get the Dallas Cowboys started. He threatened to prohibit the Redskins from using the song/music unless they supported the Cowboys creation.

    7 - Moldova gave women sufferage in 1978, the answer is Vatican City.

    9 - Technically, 26. The 19th repealed the 18th.

    10 - Missouri, BTW. Look at the map, and it's amazing. The tough state to move north directly into is Oklahoma, but if you look close enough, there is a little wiggle in that straight line border just south of the Kansas/Oklahoma/Missouri boundary.
