Mini Events Weekend!

Greetings adventurers! We've got a treat for you during St. Patrick's Day weekend: on the 18th and 19th of March there are several events lined up for everyone's entertainment! Last time we did this it was massive--we hope you'll enjoy this one even more!

More details will be coming closer to the weekend so keep an eye on the announcements, but we have some of our classic mini-events returning, including:

• Maze Runner
• Cross-Server Treasure Hunt
• PvP Tournament
• Spleef!
• Sheep Racing
• Find the Admin

As is tradition with our mini games, we'll be running leaderboards, so on top of the fun of the games there will be prizes available at the end of the weekend! Later on, we'll also have a new build contest starting for Easter--I think you might be able to guess what the theme will be!

Mark your calendars for the 18th and 19th, 3pm PST is the kick off time!

More build contests will be coming your way soon! Have an idea for a theme? Share it here!

The next best build contest has arrived in PickAxis! Share the love in your heart and express it in the latest contest. That's right, it's time to celebrate Valentine's Day, Minecraft style!

From now until Monday, February 20th, let your creative juices flow! You can jump right in onto the build contest server (/server buildcontest), claim a plot (/plot auto), build something awesome, then submit it (/plot done) before building ends on the 20th! We'll announce the winners shortly afterwards.

Now what is in it for you, I hear? Check out the prizes below:

And of course, don't forget you can show those you love around you how many blocks they are worth in your heart!  Teams can split the prize and glory!

So, let's talk rules.  Yeah, we've gotta... I'll make this quick.  First, don't go off and build anything inappropriate or offensive!  I don't want to end up having to disqualify R-rated builds.  Second, be sure to make the build as creative as possible!  Finally, be sure to submit your plot with /plot done when you're finished, so that we can find it for judging!  Oh, and we'll be judging based on creativity, originality, and design.

So what are you waiting for?!  Get out there and build something awesome!
