Smushed Bananas & Mindustry Challenges 🍌

Today ***** joined the session and told us he was eating macaroni for breakfast. This then led to **** self-reporting that he likes eating mashed bananas and that he is definitely 'not weird'. So who's going to try mashed bananas this week and let us know if its weird or not?

Solar System Pvp! 🌌

A Fresh Start 🚀

After both teams failed or came close to failing last week, we decided to restart this challenge from a new perspective:

1. Pausing the game, talking about roles, and preplanning our builds doesn't slow us down, it actually speeds us up and helps us be more organized as a team
