Howdy, y’all!
Joe Hills here, saying “fare thee well” to January and “well thee come” to February as I always do in Nashville, TN!
Our enterprising community liaison ThatTommyBoii is assisting as well! When asked if he has any special greetings for y’all, Tommy replied “not necessarily.”
Let’s jump right in!
February Book Club: Tress and the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson
The book club is back with a shipboard adventure story that really impressed me!
I hope you’ll join me to discuss Tress and the Emerald Sea throughout the month of February in #bookclub text chat!
At the end of the month, I’ll host a discussion in Discord voice chat at 7pm US Central time on Tuesday, February 28th.
Tumblr Democracy in Action
There’s a series of polls this month on Tumblr I have been nominated for. I’m not really campaigning, just occasionally re-posting things I’ve done over the years, but if you’d like to participate, you can do so at https://www.tumblr.com/mcytblrsexymen

Vanillish SMP
The Winter Event comes to a close on Vanillish! Our server operator Yirggzmb has provided a prize wall for all participants in the winter event! Spend the points you earned on some fantastic prizes, and thanks again for playing!
The Vanillish server will also be holding petitions on Tuesday, February 14th. If you’re not familiar with the petitions on Vanillish, they are asynchronous! This means folks can submit their petition request in the #vanillish-petitions channel, and Yirggy will review those on the petition date.
Modded SMP
Toxxic’s Cliffside Competition is nearing its end! The judging will be Saturday, February 11th at 12pm central. There’s still time for last minute entries, you can find all the information in the #modded-cliffside-competition channel.
The next Modded petitions will be held sometime in March, details to come.
