Attendance Records / Apologies: (Zedwick/LadyBountiful)

-If attendance is not recorded for a meeting, any absence from that meeting is excused, and no attendance strikes will be added.

-If no Pre-Meeting Agenda thread exists, Council Members should post topic ideas, discuss upcoming meetings, or apologize in advance for an absence in the Zedwork Council thread here: [1]


Zesty Games: (Zedwick)

-Zed formally introduces Zesty Games! Minigames that Zesty donators (purple names) can host at any time by entering /zestygames in chat! Anyone can play, but only Zesty Subscribers can host them!

-Zed is making changes to the frequency of the Zesty Game chat notifications: reducing the frequency that the messages are displayed when the games are more full.

-Current games include Splatoon, Missile Wars and Bridge Wars, and Zedwick hopes to add more in the future


Council Code of Conduct (HOMINIX)

-The Council agreed that a Code of Conduct should be drafted. The current draft is as follows:

Zedwork Council Regulations

Expectations/Responsibilities of the Council:

All Council Members are expected to abide by these codes. The codes are are enforced by the Host of the meeting, and the Council itself. If any of these codes are violated during a meeting, the Host is obligated to warn the violating member or issue a strike against them (in exception of codes with mandatory pre-strike warnings) The Council Code of Conduct is enforced with a Two-Strike Policy. Once a member receives their second strike, they will be removed from the Council. The Council may vote to remove a member's strike if they wish to forgive/pardon a member's actions (if the member has shown remorse for their violation, and indicates they will not violate the Code of Conduct again) or if the Council disagrees with the Host's decision to issue the strike. The recipient of the strike may raise a topic during the next meeting to apologize and ask the Council to vote if they wish to appeal the strike.

Expectations/Responsibilities of the Host:

The Host is responsible for maintaining order during the meeting, and is expected to use their judgement and work with the rest of the Council to enforce the Code of Conduct. The Host is responsible for issuing warnings and/or strikes if a member violates one of the codes below:

Zedwork Council Code of Conduct

1) All Council members shall follow all server rules, and are generally expected to act as model community members. Council members shall discuss topics in a respectful and civil manner. Any targeted insults or negative comments toward other members or guests will not be tolerated.

2) Council members are expected to focus on the topics at hand, and are encouraged to guide members back on topic if the conversation starts to wander or to move things along if the conversation starts to stagnate.

3) Disruptive or annoying behavior such as making multiple entities, (firing several arrows or constantly dropping items) annoying other members, or generally being disruptive during the meeting is highly discouraged. The Host most issue a warning to the disruptive member first, but if this behavior is continued, a strike may be issued by the Host.

If you have any questions or proposed amendments to the current Code of Conduct, please post them to the Zedwork Council thread here: [2]


Warp Decoration Contests (Zedwick)

Zed proposed a warp town decoration contest for upcoming holidays. The Warp mayors and citizens can contribute and decorate their warp to fit the holiday theme! Zedwick and LadyBountiful would vote on the winning warp. The Council liked the idea, and it is currently planned for Easter.
