HOOOSK

Why don't colors show after I post it? They show in the editor.

-More build contests :: We've been doing one every 2 months.  Is that good timing?  More often?
-Add Skygrid :: It's coming. Nick and I have had a lot going on recently.  I lost a parent and am just getting back to things and now Nick has had some stuff come up. We're almost done!  Promise! I'll add my Skygrid to-do's to the list above.
-Update creative to 1.8 :: It already is, isn't it?
-Sacrifice Bill in an attempt to lessen lag :: Done
-Add more voting websites (preferably ones that don't require clicking many pictures) :: The ones we have are the ones that cause the least amount of issues. We've tried others but they couldn't be trusted...had to move on from them. If you have more sites, please list them and we'll give them a go.
-Add an adventure map :: There are plans in the works but they are far off. Do you have ideas that could be added simply to a somewhat vanilla server? Let me know. We could do something in the meantime that would be fun!
-Update ranks and permissions so guides can actually do things =P :: Talked to Nick about fixing this last night. Again, he's got some stuff to work through right now and then these should be added shortly.
-Promote benpenguin2 to owner :: Tried, but the machines broke. Don't know how to fix that bug.
-Do a campaign that if a player on the server brings a friend on and they play for a certain amount of time, they will both get some form of reward (the certain amount of time is to stop people from bringing their friends on and never playing and the idea overall is to just get more players involved in this awesome community) :: We have plans for this, but Nick only stretches so far. When he gets his to-do list a little cleaner, this will be a thing.
-Add an adventure map :: See above...also are there any out there that can be multiplayer and already exist? LMK
-Add prison :: Will come after Skygrid.  It's already planned and being built. It's gonna be different from any other Prison server you've ever played...hopefully more fun, too.
-Maybe try a partnership with another server, introduce the communities to each other, do events and maybe live streams together (grow both player bases) :: I will consider this. Not sure what would be required of us though.
-Add UHC competition, different than hardcore, these will be like the ones many youtubers have where they are either in teams or by themselves and fight to be the last one standing :: Would LOVE to have these, but we need more people!  Help!
-Add a pickaxis store full of shirts and stuff :: Nick's wanted to do this for a long time. I'll add it to my list.
-Rent portal's services for money :: We already do
-Add a server full of plugins and custom plugins to essentially create a modded minecraft game (maybe something like how to minecraft 2 server) :: Mock together your dream setup. This may be possible, but I need your brainpower.
-On skyblock create a peaceful mob arena that is always in day time (unlike the current one that is only night time) but charge players money whenever they go there like the nether and end :: This is a really good idea.  I'll put it on my list of things to do/consider.
-Add a /modreq or /report for players to use if they need help or if someone is doing something wrong :: Will also add this to my list.
-Have coolpig for dinner :: I invited him, but he denied my request.
-Give players something special for their birthday :: I would love to. I don't have everyone's birthday though.
-Players that subscribe to the pickaxis twitch or any staff member twitch should receive special server perks :: I will add this to my list, too.
-Include a separate tab (the ones that say "home" "forums" "vote" "shop" "more") that says guides and in there have a subsection for every server, in those subsections include important and helpful information such as, skyblock block point numbers, ender's towny guide, information on plot size and world edit for creative and build contests (such as item ids), and more :: This is already being worked on by Bill & UnicornHorn. I'll add it to my list to make the pages ready for them.
-Demote collin to newb :: Internal server error.
-Make the revered rank an in game one (I miss having a tag and color to my name xD) :: I'll bring this up in discussion with Nick.
-Add /baltop to servers :: We could, but we need to see how much it reks the servers.  This command has been known to bring a server to it's knees easily.
(All I can think of at the moment) :: THANK YOU! Your suggestions are always appreciated.  Please continue to update them here when you have more....make a new post though so I don't miss them.
 
THANK YOU!

This is my to-do list. Feel free to add recommendations to it. The things on the list are for me to explore doing, not guaranteed to happen. 
 
The purpose of this list serves 3 needs:
1) To help me remember what to do
2) For your visibility
3) For you to help contribute ideas

Husker's To-Done's:

A month before mine!

#1 - you get tokens, and what do tokens make.... cool things! You can get 50 tokens each day which can be spent on survival skyblock, skywars for cool perks. Just do /shop and see what you can save up for....
 
So you have purchased all of the perks over all servers?
 
#2 - the top 3 voters each month get a cash reward to spend on the server to buy ranks. 
 
What? So you have obsidian rank across all of the servers? You have everything you could possibly need and the tokens are just building up?
 
#3 Keep voting to support this awesome server. A lot of blood sweat and tears go into making this server as great as it is and we all want to make it bigger and better. Voting pushes us up the ranks and the higher we get the more players we can get. 
 
Pickaxes is nothing without all you amazing players. We love each and everyone of you and we hope you love us back!
 
 
Click here and show us your love.

**UPDATE, time chosen! http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20150919T21&p0=303&msg=Pickaxis+Skyblock+Drop+Party&font=cursive&csz=1&swk=1 
 
Yes it is that time again folks, last month we had an epic drop party as you can see in the picture below and some that Meg put up here.
So please, donate some items for the party, vote for a time and day that suits you and then enjoy! Last party we had almost 20 on throughout with people coming in and out, bring your friends along as it would be cool to make that 30 or even more this party
 
It is good fun and teamspeak always has a few laughs (ts.pickaxis.com) so come along
 
 

I just want a platform so I don't die every 5 jumps

Mine is on November 25. Shoutout to the November kids - they're technically Valentine's babies!

Strangely mine happens the same day ever year.  Whoda thunk it?
 
March 2.

^^^^^^^^^^
Good Luck! 

Hey guys!
 
Just wanted to let you all know that I will not be around too much for the next few weeks. My final Uni assignment (of this course) Is due on the 14th September so really need to focus on it! I will be online but not as long as normal.  
 
I will keep an eye on the forums and will be on twitter (robins105_1980) so if there are any issues and there are no other staff around then you can contact me and I can jump on to help out.
 
Take care guys!
 
  

Good luck on your assignment! We'll miss you, hurry back  

I will build a Skyblock in Skygrid!
J/k. Not sure what I'll do yet, but a sturdy platform sounds like a good start, then probably a storage room. Maybe I'll attempt a lighthouse!

hmm i think i might build like 5 giant trees and then build a city in the trees

me in my shop ^.^

Since I had so many requests for more drawings (see above...), here is another beautiful piece of my artwork:
 

I take requests....
In lieu of a request, here is a lamp:
 

I just want a platform so I don't die every 5 jumps

This is great!  We need to pin this topic so people can see!
I love having Towny experts!
