Where will we meet? Novady knows!

This fortnight's meeting was held in the region Nova, in a hall created by Jasmyn01 with help from Mellori.

In my humble opinion, the ceiling was clearly the best part of the whole thing, but in all seriousness - we were both super happy with the response the hall got and apologize profusely for the cobble decoy that may have caused harm to the eyes of anyone with any taste.

Zen Halloween Decorations

Our first topic was of spicing up Zen for Halloween.

iiWolfyyy had already done some nice work on making the vegetation by the nether tree autumnal, and aided Mellori in the creation of a Witch's abode, in place of the Mooshroom Pen - also supplying cats:

On the subject of Witches and Halloween, Treiskaideka has been working on making a version of the game "Mafia" - or the more commonly known "Town of Salem" - in minecraft, called 'Witches of Pinehill'. Here's her forum post explaining it. The game itself will be hosted in a mansion to the right of District Three in Zen.

It's still being tested, but promises to be fun! We'll be playing a game of it after the next meeting, testing permitting. Well worth looking out for!

And finally PulsaterII is hosting a fireworks show in his region, Dreadfall. Watch out on the forums for more info.

Puls also designed and built a wonderful arena in his region for team kit pvp. The Zedkins and guests all headed over after the meeting for an epic showdown that will never be forgotten.

There may have been cheating involved, a few players struck blind by the dazzling nakedness of Zed, and the team element may have fallen apart in the end, but it was a good time for all!

Both pictures of Dreadfall Arena, captured by Vitgone, who used a Replay Mod to record the whole event. Many thanks!

Boring Stuff

To make sure meetings don't become enjoyable, we had a quick (read long) discussion on the subject of giving shops to returning shop owners after long absences. We agreed that two weeks after claiming their items upon return would be ample time to make sure they plan on sticking around, saving us from waiting the customary two months to remove any half built shops should they have to leave again.

Zed's Chip Munching Ensemble

Despite not being mentioned in the meeting, my tactical wait to write the seconds has given light to the fact that LVS is being updated to 1.13.1 the very day this was written, and that Zz should be seeing an update in the near future, too, should it all go well!

Here's a forum post on the details.

Well there goes another Zedkin Seconds!

I'm grateful people actually put up with all the silliness I inject into these - I try to strike a balance between the jokes and the information, greatly inspired by the original Second's Masters, Cuttle and Overskill, may they rest in Pumpkins.

With that said, I'm glad that P is a letter in the alphabet, and I'm sure Mem is doubly so.

Without it, all the pirates would be irate, to say the least!
