I was not expecting to hear anyone, much less a pair of hermits, refer to x's back as "xisuma's void" completely out the blue today nor ever and now i won't be able to unthink this. thank you zed. also, "zee" is an adorable nickname ^^

[@Zedaph]

I can only apologise... XD

[@infernotitan1158]

I also will never be able to unhear OR unthink "Xisuma's Void", but I'm not sure I necessarily want to. Amazing spying today, Zed! 💙

@@Zedaph This was the most successful spy session yet. But, even Keralis wasn't enough to keep Beef from catching you. You're going to have to come up with a better plan on that one. The biggest problem is that his area is so open. There's no cover for sneaking up, and swimming leaves your name tag visible. Invisibility won't help either, because of particles. My suggestion is to find out who is building the arena for his game, and where it is. Recruit them to tell you when he will be there to inspect the build. Surely an arena will have at least 1 good vantage point you can use.

[@missmarymack06]

I totally missed that! 🤣

[@taraclark8628]

Keralis: “I don’t know man, this is Tango we’re talking about. Tango has eyes in the back of his head!” Meanwhile during Tango’s stream, he was struggling to find the bow that he had in his inventory. I find this absolutely hilarious.

[@Cats-Creations]

Anyone who watches Tango play Among Us on Twitch knows just how incredibly unobservant he can be, lol

[@federicoguerrini5978]

hey zedaph! I think that the new enchantment "swift sneak" would be perfect for this zedvancement, since you always need to stay crouched

[@John-Smlth]

I'd love to see the swift sneak book added to the "best worst gear" too. It'd be fun to see it used with leather armour. And hey, maybe the leather armour could become the perfect spy atire...

[@lukehdarowlet9321]

@@lukehdarowlet9321 Yep, you are correct! Huh, yep I had watched the episode, I don't know how I forgot that one... Episode #15 at 1:50 he mentions that he added Swift Sneak to the pants, after buying the book from Impulse in a live stream.

[@justcallmeness]

Hello! Welcome back to the world of Zedvancements! Reporter Ness is on the job again today, and Zedaph is taking a break from the more death-defying stunts. He puts the Keniezed suit in the laundry and grabs a spyglass for some silly spectacular spectating! It's been a bit easier to follow him today as he's joined by the legendary Keralis! This wide-eyed friend is perfect for a partner in crime. His mission: distract Hermits with some idle conversation so our hero can snap some sneaky shots! There are a bunch targets today, and most were unsuspecting of the duo. Tango's powers of observation are unparalleled as ever, but Zed still manages to get the closest photo of a Hermit he's ever gotten! I won't spoil the rest, but they all go swimmingly! Well, except for Beef. That one was more drowningly. Today has been full of good-natured fun, and it's been great to tour the server with this lovely duo. As always, I remain ready to report again. Reporter Ness, signing off!

[@Zedaph]

Thanks for the detailed Report, Ness! :D

[@dorithegreat6155]

14:15 yes this is Tango we're talking about, the man known for absolute lack of observation skills. If it was going to work with anyone, it's Tango

[@DflatedBalloon]

The episode was a banger as usual but "Xisuma's void" takes the cake (pun very much intended)

[@Homie_1111]

The picture of Zedaph just standing behind Tango was hysterical. The way Tango turned around freaked out and started laughing was chef's kiss amazing. 🤣

[@alyssa09485]

I just watched Beef's episode where he totally caught you in the background, and I just KNEW you were up to spy shenanigans again-- but I had no idea Keralis was a part of it too HAHAA 😂

[@meowtain9566]

Keralis played it off so well that he had no idea what was going on 😆

[@satiricgames2129]

Same hahahaha it was gold and also I thought keralis was a bit sussy

[@erinasnow]

I saw that, but I had also seen Tango's stream - so I suspected shenanigans!

[@RealGhoda]

same

[@firepowder]

Same!! Keralis just doesn't register as someone to be suspicious of somehow. He could commit crimes with that power if he so chose

[@RosileeJe]

Having a partner while to trying to get spy photos immediately gives it the same energy as two kids in a comedy movie trying to sneakily grab snacks while the other distracts mom, and that just makes it even funnier lol Also 100% agree with another comment I just saw: you should totally have a secret "Target Room" where you display the pictures! Maybe even empty item frames named for the hermits you haven't got yet, and a wall for the failed attempts

Intro is on point as usual. Seriously I love your intros.

[@Zedaph]

Thank you, Cheesius! I have fun with um :)

[@SmerkyRandomised]

Yeah, recruiting Keralis to help with the intro was a stroke of genius!

[@nonyabisness1724]

Zedvancement idea Did you know dirt can be converted to 9 different blocks now Grass, Mycelium, Podzol, Farmland, Path, Rooted Dirt, Moss, Mud and Sculk Maybe you could convert a block of dirt to each variant as fast as posible or cycle one dirt though them all Im not sure exactly, I just think it's an intresting quirk that somethink could be done with Like if their was a QI for minecraft this is the sort of thing that would be on it Big fan Zed, love your unique style

[@eyekanspalwerds7824]

You forgot rooted mud

[@yaromrotem-gal-oz6502]

you can try making all the variants at the same time

[@virginiaproductions652]

What about rooted dirt

[@techsmechs2485]

Coarse dirt could also be included. Plus, maybe a distinction could be made between plain tilled dirt, and actual irrigated farmland. Not that it'd require much extra effort.

[@SpyderPan]

Technically you can turn it into air when a creeper blows it out of existence

[@WackoMcGoose]

Meta-Zedvancement proposal: Do a Zedvancement collab with every Hermit at least once. Progress: Off the top of my head - and your thumbnails - you've got Impulse (Best Worst Equipment), Scar (Longest Death Message), Bdubs (The Mob-Stack-All), Ren (The VInyl Countdown), Xisuma (Porcupined), and now Keralis (I Try I Spy), plus several small helps for The Hall Of All. So not counting item trades for the Hall, that's _6/25 Collabs_ so far.

[@becs4544]

This would be really cool!

[@racheld8920]

Zedaph refering to Xisuma's... backside as "Xisuma's void" is HILARIOUS to me

[@tobyhenderson4637]

My theory on how Zed makes his fantastically magic timelapses - first, record a dancing zedaph infront of a minecraft green screen. Second, build the building with replay mod, making the first part, then pausing, then building etc. Edit the replay file to have smooth moving camera, whilst the building seems to construct itself, as Zed never appears in frame, then finally add dancing Zedaph in post-production. But hey, that's just a theory... A ZED THEORY!

[@mrmaxmondays]

I have been obsessed with those timelapses as well and that my was conclusion-such a cool effect!

[@dopey_duck_944]

nah its clearly that zed is magic

[@grutarg2938]

Keralis was the perfect partner for this Zedvancement - those eyes see everything.

[@messynessie4417]

I know you haven't really participated in the king stuff, but it could be a way to make some serious diamonds for that beacon! I think the diamond horse armor is pretty valuable as tribute. And there's some easy ones that could nab you a diamond block in just a day!

[@fortcolors9887]

there's a quest that's "complete a zedvancement" so if zed makes a zedvancement about something something "recursively complete a king's quest".... >:D

[@shunnedtomcat]

Loved the episode. What I think we all need to know is, how come Keralis is so good at spying? He's totally got the skills down.

[@moonythesly]

Nope. Zedaph and Keralis in the same video is too much adorable- adorable quota has been met. Those giggles man, those giggles!

[@levilukeskytrekker]

Would love to see Zed dress up in full secret agent gear. Maybe a Zedvancement for stealing a particular block from Hermits' storage rooms, too? Something like an extraction mission?

speaking of hanging on the wall, doesnt the server have some way to put up custom photos as painting? or am i thinking just normal data pack shenanigans? either way zed could have a hall of photos where he hangs his best one so other can come by and say, when did you take this?!?

what about: you and keralis make exact same skins, but one of you has closed eyes on it, and 1 has opeden, then you line perfectly, 1 is inside another and the closed eyes face is visible. when a hermit comes to check on you (btw both crunch to make names invisible) the open eyed bro makes a lil step forward. hopefully, this makes an illusion of opening eyes.
