I'd like to ask about perhaps getting "Blues" on Zz like LVS does. Just a thought that came into my head.

[Mellorian]

Regarding Blues, Zz does have Oranges, whom are protectors, but they’re not seen so much anymore, aside from LaLa.
When you say Zz should have Blues, what would you think they’re function would be? On Lvs they appear to function in quite a similar manner to the Zedkins on Zz, from what I’ve seen.

[iiWolfyyy]

Well I thought blues are server wide helpers, though Zedkins are more for, Zen. Wouldn't call em blues though cause we don't wanna steal Lvs's style of things. I got a blue to deliver a villager for me, since I couldn't go through nether myself at the time. So things like that, but obviously they can do it in their own time, and nothing like getting someone a stack of diamonds and whatnot.

Zriends (or blues) on LVS do have a function. Our main purpose is to help players in areas which are under protection (such as the nether hubs, the spawn market, etc.) as they're unable to edit (break/place blocks) in those areas. Despite some of the Zriends being LVS council members, the two things don't really have much to do with each other.

As far as I'm aware, Zurvival's Protectors (or oranges) serve a fairly similar purpose to the Zriends of LVS, but not in the sense of helping players in community areas - they have a few more 'permissions' - similar to the way the Zriends of LVS have permissions to edit protected areas. Because of this, having a 'blue' rank would likely be a simple colour swap from orange. Whether changing the colour would mess with anything server-related, I have no clue, however I believe this is kind of un-necessary. I'm not sure what Protectors actually do myself, but as Mell pointed out, Protectors are a fairly rare sight anyway.

The protector rank is basically a moderator, Zriends are very much not that. The job we do simply does not apply to Zurvival as there are no protected community areas in the same way as on LVS. You have markets, but can claim the individual plots. You have no need of large nether hubs due to region posts, and the sensitive areas that the nether hubs are due to being a direct route to almost everyones bases on the whole server.

I may not be able to attend this meeting, due to stuff and things! Sorry!

Unfortunately, I, Snickaaman, will likely be unable to attend todays meeting, there is a chance I may be a late arrival.
