Congratulations to Serge Yager for winning every single day so far, making it LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE for James to win the tournament!!!

 

 

 

Oh well James, maybe next year.

But the most important news of the day is that….

It’s cycled to the 10 o’clock hour (for us, anyway ♥ ) which means it’s also time to discuss the new silent auctions!

First up we have this AMAZINGLY detailed Elspeth Onesie!

This onesie is a casual cosplay of the classic Magic planeswalker, Elspeth Tirel. It will be the comfiest suit of armor you ever own!
Please Note: The onesie will be largely ineffective in sword battles.

And then our second silent auction is this Stardew Valley cooking set!

The set contains:
-A double-thick apron (to keep home-milled flour off your shirt)
-Pair of pot holders and oven mitts (to keep hands safe from your turnip-funded stove)
-Two large kitchen towels (to wipe off the hay before you cook)
-And finally an extra large tote (to cart all of your items over to Pierre’s if you can’t wait ’til tomorrow)

Zeta has donned their caps, turned off the lights, ignored the sun, and gone the bus to bed. If you, meanwhile, are just waking up, here’s a recap!

Let’s GET READY TO ZETAAAAAA

Our resident Dune experts got deeper into the lore:

Here on Zeta, you can learn a lot about mechanical engineering, and zoology.

Zeta shared pro gamer strats

“If I Had a Bigger Keyboard”- A Molly and Beej Joint

Molly blessed us with “Bless The Telephone”

Heather smacks down a crack-a-pack, and it is IICONIC!

I would apologize for the nightmares. But I shan’t.

And a quick check-in with Zeta’s continuing secret lego assembly! With bonus autotune!

And that’s that for last night’s Zeta! Keep watching, keep donating, and keep telling all your friends!
