Here are the battle scenes in "night-vision mode" (i.e. edited in Adobe Lightroom). As you can see in several of the screenshots, skeletons are killing other skeletons.

Went for a run tonight and was feeling lost and alone until I came across evidence that Mattie had been here! : )

This is my automatic vegetable garden

This is my automatic vegetable garden ... if someone needs some ready-to-use wheat you can pick it up quickly without problems ....
Collecting and manufacturing materials useful for the construction of a common project is a very interesting aspect of the use of "survival mode". It is a new application of the word "sharing". #evomc19

This evening mirella maddalena Carol Rainbow Heike Philp Dakotah Redstone and I worked on our EVOmc2019 town hall. We needed a whole lot of wood. Mirella gave us a good jump start as she'd planted some trees especially for the project but we still needed a lot more. Very quickly we ran out of bones to make bonemeal that we used to speed up the growth of the trees , so Dak set up a skeleton spawner and we spent some time killing skeletons and collecting their bones.
We made some good progress but we still have a lot of work to complete the build and decorate it, not to mention work on the surrounding area. Most probably it will remain a work in progress for as long as we all want to experiment with different ideas, the type of wood to use or the color of glass to put on the windows and different ideas of keeping baby zombies out of the place :)
We are planning to continue tomorrow evening UTC but everybody is welcome to work on it whenever they are interested and able to log in.

We had a wonderful time testing a lesson plan for Language learners that can be easily adapted to any level.

We appreciate those who experienced the lesson to reflect on the experience and the lesson plan. We would love to hear from everyone! Feedback/questions on the lesson plan is welcome!

My birthday MC gift from Dakotah Redstone! A beautiful house! Thank YOU!
My birthday MC gift from Dakotah Redstone! A beautiful house! Thank YOU!
I loved spending time with you decorating it, Dak.
I changed MC to my native language (Portuguese) for the first time and I realized that I don't know how to say most of them in my own language.. so I'm learning them in Portuguese now. In order to learn it fast, following Dakota's suggestion, I'm labelling the items around the house. There is a number of possibilities in-game for language learning, but also for teachers to create activities in-game.

Wow!
Wow! That was something else. We managed to "survive" for 5 days. However, we took some casualties and we sure didn't have Seal Team coordination. : )
It was too hectic for me to take any photos and while we communicated a LOT we were also talking over each other and often engaged in overlapping conversations much of the time (which is a possible feature of group interaction anytime there are more than three participants).
One failing (if we can consider it a failing) is that we never had any clear objective other than just surviving. I suppose that's OK.

Welcome to Athens my foot!
Welcome to Athens my foot! I found myself a nice desert (after two nights in game and surviving a flaming zombie attack) and a village only to find a sign reading "Welcome to Athens" on a well.
And there was a button on a gold plate which I foolishly pushed. This transported me instantly back to the original spawn point with no way (that I could find) back. : ( . So two days wasted.
Remind me in the future to steer clear of all zombies and shiny buttons.

Michiyo joined us for the first time this year. She participated last year as a complete beginner in MC. Both Mattie and I ran her (literally) through the basics so she'll be up to speed soon enough.

A few refinements on my Room With A View. I added a glass ceiling, glass walkways, and another Leap of Faith point from up on the roof.
