The Nerd Table Gazette: Week Three

A week enriched with villager trades and betrayals, and a server event to conquer an Ocean Trident Trial Monument. It's time for our weekly recap of TNTable!

This week was all about great riches and our players reaping the spoils of the world as everyone worked to get richer and classier than ever. Players were deep into crafting supplies and building the foundations needed to bring their economic pursuits to new heights. Elsewhere, a grand raid event was conducted by a group of brave players eager on a challenge and loot aplenty.

As always, we welcome players to document their adventures over on our wiki, where you can also see back on a decade of archive to the TNTable endeavors over worlds past.

Highlights:

• The Trident Trial Monument Raid went underway on the Sunday, August 18th, 2024, at 9:15 PM EST, where Matt, Peanut, Dayache, and members of Red Team undertook a great battle against a plethora of underwater chambers and mazes filled with trident slinging drowned and magic wielding guardians. While many a death took place, the battle concluded in a victory for the players, although its loot was disputed to have been worth it.
• The Iron Bunker iron farm was established in the world by David, providing incredible amounts of iron riches unseen by the poor captured villagers unaware of David's reputation.
• Mending was established in the Red Team base at a ridiculously low price thanks to zombie shenanigans. Meanwhile, Megaussy's Mending villager jumped itself to death, resulting in a new Mending villager being shipped in from the Spawn village.

Player Developments:

Note: Player names listed in alphabetical order, and should not be treated as any ranking of each players' progress

• Angus continued hopping on the server on expeditions unknown to the other players, although he did express disdain for the obsoleted nature of iron ore as caused by weekly events.
• Blackout began work on a sewer system for Megaussy, hopping into our Creative Server to design various entrance ideas.
• David put in significant work preparing and completing the fully-functional iron farm for the server known as the Iron Bunker. In doing so, he was able with ease to finance the beacon pyramids of multiple interested parties. He also put in additional work on Megaussy Manor, completing its roof. He also joined Michael in exploring and spelunking a Desert Ruins plugin structure.
• Dayache and Peanut continued work on their area, constructing a new dog pound building for their animals and moving them from their main house. The two also took part in the Trident Trial Monument Raid. In addition, Peanut also began work on an animal building in Megaussy following a lightning incident evaporating the sheep populous.
• Jack finalized work on his farming build, establishing four farms in quarters and constructing his rural mansion as a centerpiece in its midst.
• Matt began work on a quartz-based library build containing additional plans for a sugar cane farm for the server, and also took part in the Trident Trial Monument Raid. In addition, he became the first player to achieve 50k stone mined, earning the Mountain Mover advancement.
• Michael continued work on his Nagasaki Castle reproduction project, adding an additional layer to its height. He also worked with David to explore and spelunk a Desert Ruins plugin structure.
• The members of Red Team established their own villager trading hall and secured a Mending villager of their own, which, after zombie conversion, offers its deal at an incredible 1 emerald per book! Red Team members Cam, Mitch, and Steener also took part in the Trident Trial Monument Raid. In addition, member Cam became the first player on the server with a full set of netherite gear.
