This meeting had very fancy chairs, also with a pit that our benevolent host could throw people into. But he didn't. Hence the benevolence :D Several attendees mentioned their desire to steal the design idea, with Dax mentioning incorporating an eject button. Watch out for that next time he hosts!

Topics

I - Border Tunnels - Aravero

As it's likely we'll be getting a border expansion soon, or latest blue had the notion that it'd be an idea to continue the border tunnels to accomodate the extra space! How much extra space? Zed wants to wait a bit to see how much expansion is needed for the new update, and whether those expansions will be permanent.

Undeterred by the idea it might not be necessary for a while, everyone was interested in helping out. ABP volunteered to do 'anything needed', so Ara volunteered him to make a forum post! ABP tried to rescind his helpfulness but it was too laaaate
So, he made a forum post (which you can get to here!) with the materials/bodies/sacrifices needed to get the job done. Watch this space, as it slowly gets larger to accommodate dolphins, corals, that one woodland mansion people keep jabbering on about...

II - VlogZ - Memery

Hello, his name is Memery. You may have seen him in videos such as 'Memery tours Blutopia' and 'Memery kills everyone in PUHC (part 3/23)'.

He's looking to make some videos including useful public farms on LVS, so players old and new are aware of the various player-made bounties our server has to offer.

Farms currently making the cut are:

Ender Ender
Bone Yard
Fish Basement/Paradise Pris Farm*
Iron Falls
Charged Creeper Farm
Mul'gore Mob Farm
Spawn Market
Triple Farm

And yes, in the tale as old as time Dax and ABP had words about whose farm is better, with Dax issuing a challenge to use Math and Science to settle things once and for all! It didn't get very far because ABP was still staring at nether border tunnels looking at materials, and I stopped paying attention

Can you think of a public farm that should be advertised on the tube of you? Go tell Memery about it!

III - Dax - EventZ

Dax had some announcements about the zestygames he's been arduously arduousing on. This weekend is open hosting of DartZ! Free to start a game for zesties and zedlies alike! DO you like pub darts? Do you like getting drunk while watching pub darts? Do you just need some practice aiming with a bow because you are god-awful at it? Everyone can come on down and have a go!

Next weekend will also see the return of D-D-DungeonDash open beta! In a team or by yourself, choose your class and creep through the dungeon to try and defeat the fell beasts lurking in its fetid halls. Splendid new stuff for us all to test out, and by 'us all' I mean 'masochists' and by 'test out' I mean 'die to'. Hooray :D

Find a bug while playing? Take a screenshot, it'll net you a diamond block courtesy of Dax! In his own words, he wants you to break the game. Get to it, next weekend!

IV - ABP - ZPS!

_{This was the first un-surprise of the meeting, ABP having done the gallant thing of warning us of his wish to speak on the pre-agenda. Remember the pre-agenda guys?....guys?}

Following the discussion last meeting, ABP and HOMI put up some post boxes in the end to start up the totally fun Zedwork Postal Service! You may have sauntered towards the End Farm and thought 'who has put all these chests here?' and not realised that's the new postal service!

Have a message for a player but they're not online? Pop them a message in the box! Take the item you wanna post (or the book you've written a message on), re-name it with the player's name on an anvil, and then place the item in the chest matching the first character of that player. There's a chest for all the numbers and letters, so watch this space as it gets written about and posted to a chest near youuuuu!

V - Zed - AnnouncementZ

Zed, pulling off a very credible impression of Dax's echo, announced DartZ had an open weekend! Come for the dartz, stay for the bootleg alcohol Homi concocted. There was then an interlude when everyone tried to work out how many Zesty Games there were - not sure if there was a conclusion but I'm confident there's more than three.

Feb 16th-19th is Dungeon Dash open beta! Anyone will be able to host. Try it with friends, try it alone, die either way. Remember to screenshot any bugs you see, as they're tradeable for a diamond block from Dax!

Tomorrow, Feb 11th 6pm GMT is UHC! A little bit auspicious as at number 12, it's the big UHC's birthday! We've had several weeks of practice in little pocket UHC's so I'm expecting big things in the real deal. Sharpen your stone axes, re-fill your lava buckets, gird your various loins. And if you come across me, don't run away; my axe is lonely :(

In two weeks and a bit on February 25th is Build-Off! 4pm-9pm GMT, theme TBA on the day

Nominations/Next Meeting

This was the council at its most overly helpful - Khas was unsure how nominations worked so five people explained it to him in chat after Memery explained it to him privately. SooprJ was then successfully voted into the council! He almost declined hosting as he didn't have a place to do it, but after getting half a dozen offers for hosting locations, accepted the gig! We'll see everyone back there, wherever there is in two weeks!
