HOOOSK

We hope you enjoyed the temporary challenges we've had all year. I apologize for missing September's challenges. My schedule is to blame for that. In return, I hope you enjoy the 6 Halloween challenges we have for October. Also, you voted and chose to resurrect the GoGreen challenge (from June) permanently. It is now a permanent part of the Special challenges on Skyblock. Here are October's 6 new temporary challenges: Do you like the special Halloween challenges? Are you happy GoGreen is back? Have ideas for November's challenges? Let us know in the comments. Click here to view the announcement

You'll get more clues tonight...there's a chance you'll be able to find it from tonight's clues.

Here's a fun game we're going to play You should be happy, the game starts today Your help is needed to find all my gold It's tokens and coins, the legend's foretold Read all the clues, you will see them below Only the wisest will be in the know Riddles will guide you to a treasure chest Submit your screenshot to prove you're the best If you are the first to post your success Riches and riches upon you, I'll bless But please go with caution, take this to heart You can win only once...plan and be smart The first clue I'll give will pop up today The second tomorrow, third on it's way Good luck to you all, please go find my loot And while you're at it, I'm missing a boot Treasure #1 Clues: FOUND! - More treasures coming soon Spoiler Server: Survival; Biome: Plains; Underground; One coordinate is negative, one isn't; Photo Spoiler Dear Diary, I've come to the conclusion that since my ex now lives over 4,000 miles away from me that I can start dating again. I don't know why he wanted to wait until he was 37 to get hitched. This time, my plan is flawless and EZ: I will only date men who are perfect 100's and over 24 years old. Love, Pirate HuskerCaptain's Log, Entry #Q Today I dropped off a treasure in a chest. Why did I do that? I don't know why. I could really have used all those tokens for fly. :'( If I hadn't fallen into that ravine and then become lost exploring deeper into the caves, I think I could have made it home with that loot. I'm pretty sure my boot is down there too.Dearest Diary, Some mornings I wake up in a bad, negative mood. Then, once I put my feet down on the floor and realize how lucky I am, I'm quickly brought back to a positive mood. Day after day it's the same: negative, feet, positive; negative, feet, positive. Good mantra for a treasured life. Love, Pirate Husker Click here to view the announcement

- Re-sacrifice Bill just for fun :: Don't want to drive him away! - Promote Meg to Sexy Beast :: Gosh, these internal server errors just don't let me do anything fun - Eventually add the ability to reset challenges on Skyblock (Skygrid is obvi most important though) :: We're going to switch to a new system to do challenges here very soon. This may be an option once we do that. I'll put it on my list to remind me to ask Nick about it. - Is color chat an option in game? Or the ability to have colored text on the website? Or would that be too annoying to see? :: In game it's possible and we once had it. We made our own chat plugin recently and still need to add that ability to it. I'll add it to our long-term to-do list. - Let Meg know if she can help in any way :: Take a look at the to-do list. If there's anything you ever want to take off the list, just holla. I'll give you what you need to help. Thank you! - Add recipe to Skyblock (a new token or rank perk maybe?) :: Added to my list. - Add more options for purchase in token shop (maybe some tools, like a God pick) :: Send me, privately if possible, your list of what should be in the token shop. I would love your brain power to help come up with ideas. - Mail Meg a new, working ankle :: Already been on the wait list for years. They seem to have a shortage. :'( THANK YOU!

^ Nick will need to do this.

It's that time of the month again: Time to vote for which Skyblock challenge you would like to become permanent. Since WhatTheNether won last month, it is now a permanent part of the Skyblock Challenges. All past options have also been put back into the polls. See below if you need a refresher to remember what those challenges offered. Warning: challenges can only lose a ballot 3 times. This means if Seamstress, BottleCollector, or GoGreen doesn't win, it is gone forever. (RIP LoudLibrarian & AprilShowers) Remember: The winning challenge will be slightly nerfed. We will be posting September's temporary challenges at the beginning of September, along with some extra challenges that Snowball thought up! Get your votes in now! Save your favorite challenge!

I know we've got you great people around us. We are very thankful for that. We are also relaxed, don't worry! Minecraft time is my relax time. I just want to make a list so I don't forget great recommendations as they come through...I'm very forgetful because there's always too much on my mind from the other parts of my day.

-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!

A month before mine!

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-Do's: Husker's To-Done's:

That's right! <3

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!
