I just had my 30th on the 3rd. What'd you get me?

HA! I like that award... Most time spent playing... congrats Ebed!

a UHC event has been discussed and if one doesn't happen, I would be very very surprised. Talked to Nick and Husker about it on multiple occassions, at least the mechanics of how it would run. So yea, its coming. =-D dont know when though.

What time?

 

10 pm

Well, we technically DO have a prison server... meet me on Survival and I'll just do /jail. =-D

Behold, the cult of Husker. Where they worship the Lobby Gods... One of their members missed their mark.

 

Go for the castle!

I'll sign up. Not entirely sure at the moment I can make it, but I'd like to be able to if I can.

PVP while fighting the dragon, fun!

 

But, let's have a concrete time for the dragon spawn so people can plan for it. Make an event from it.

And how about NO flying pvp at all?

 

I agree, no PVP if you're in flight... Can't be brought into it and can't start it from flight.

The elves of PickAxis have been hard at work over this past holiday season, most recently setting out to judge the entries for the Winter Wonderland build contest. There were quite a few awesome builds, and the elves have selected their new home for the next year!

 

 

And finally, all entrants who finalized their plots with /plot done will receive 100 tokens.

 

Thanks to everyone who took part in building and visiting our own little winter wonderland! Keep an eye out for our next build contest!

May the odd be ever in your favour. Oh and as an added bonus, we'll be unceremoniously banning all the losing builds! mwahahaha.

 

No, I'm just kidding. They all really do turn out great, even the ones that didn't quite get finished. We see the potential of what you all make.

I left my boyfriend in the nether! Please help!

Did you leave him there or did he run off to it? =-P

racist market much?

 

Uh? How?

The weather outside might be frightful, but the first PickAxis epic build contest is oh so delightful. Take a break from roasting chestnuts on an open fire (sounds hazardous anyway) and build yourself an amazing winter wonderland. Show the world your vision of an ideal winter scene!

How to Enter
Anyone wishing to enter as a contestant should claim a plot in the Snowed In Creative Server (/server buildcontest), accessible from the PickAxis main Hub. Players can build with other people, but if the build wins a prize, contributing players must split the prize.

When to Build
Contestants will have from December 13 until January 3 at 11:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time. After that, the elves of PickAxis will select their new winter home.

What to Win
Judges will choose three top builds and award the following prizes:

• First Place Prize - $50 PickAxis credit
• Second Place Prize - $30 PickAxis credit
• Third Place Prize - $20 PickAxis credit

Announcing the Winners
The winners will be announced here on PickAxis the week of January 4.

 
Official Rules

• Builds cannot be offensive.
• All builds must have a holiday theme. What you build (for example: igloo, ice palace, snow village, etc.) is up to you. Your build should illustrate a winter-themed wonderland.
• All builds, to be considered as an official entry, must be marked completed using the command /plot done. Any builds not marked as completed by the close of the contest on January 4, 2015 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) will not be judged as an entry.
• Criteria for judging, based on a 10 point scale, are as follows: creativity, originality, winter theme, and design. Point totals will not be made public.
• Have fun!

Tips for Entries

• To get started and find your plot, use the command /plot auto.
• If your entry requires elements not set as the default environment in the contest world, instructions should be placed on a sign at the border of your entry plot, facing towards the path. Elements can include a day/night element or weather. Any questions on other possible element capabilities should be messaged to helios8385 Admin here on the forums.
• If there is a component of interaction involved with your entry, this must be explicitly and obviously noted on your contest plot. A sign along the outside edge of the plot, facing outwards towards the path, will suffice.
• All features of a creative server are enabled, including WorldEdit and redstone. Any questions on how to use World Edit should be searched.
• Please don't bother the staff about your build.

The last soul he needs to get is Onaga The Dragon King's soul,once he has it,his plan will start. He will kill anyone who gets in his way and ruling Minecraftia.

Only one person can stop him.
