LalaRichter got her 4th strike and is off the council. She may be voted back in if she returns.

After a silent staring contest between me and Zedwick, we slowly began the meeting after Shaw came back from a hopefully tasty dinner and dogzack coming late, but just in time.

Zedkins Date

Zedkins will return to a 2 week rhythm. The vote was unanimous. The new schedule will encourage more action (Zedwick) and 4 weeks seemed to slow us down (Dogz). This will go into effect for the next meeting.

Zen Update

HERE to the official Zen Trello Board: https://trello.com/b/L4KeoST9/zen

The Public Mining area under y=16 has been expanded and a slime chunk has been prepared by Dogz to be farmed.

We've further discussed some things that are still to-do:

Building the Community Farm Building

Building More "example builds" that then may be sold for a bit iron

creating a Town ledger to keep track of inhabitants

Getting colossux to abandon his claims so we can build a building for the world map with library and museum

Strikes

After discussing that Lala is off the council, I offically remarked that people need to keep track of their own strikes to be written off. You'll loose one after attending 2 meetings.

Zed's News

After most of the meeting was over, Zedwick started to talk about the real interesting stuff. Going well into overtime on the meeting, he explained and we discussed about an upcoming change on Zurvival.

The current Region Post system will be replaced with a new one.

Details are of course subject to change, but the main idea is to change from a text and region named basis to something you'd more likely find in an open-world single player game.

Exploration is one of the key features in the new system, as well as reducing the use of commands and using custom, in-game graphic interfaces instead.

You'll be able to create "maps" from the region you are in. Those maps will be used to mark the region in your personal Ledger as well as being able to share them one on one or hang them on a wall for everyone to mark the region in their ledger.

The Ledger will be the actual interface and lists all the regions you have "discovered". This will include Wilderness regions.

Both region systems will overlap for a time of transition.

The tp-ing sound and animation of the current system will probably be adapted. Quiet a few people dislike the explosion sound. The "fall protection exploit" will be fixed soon, too, according to Zedwick.

Upcoming Events

Zedwick also announced the next Zedwork UHC to be starting on 14th May at 6pm BST as well as the next Build off on the 28th May at 4pm BST. More information as well as the topic will be announced later.

Next Zedkins Meeting will be in 2 weeks on the 13th May 8pm BST
