The SkyBlock Post
Week of 1-4-15


General -
SkyBlock numbers has been at an all time high these past few weeks! Many new players are joining us to build and expand their island. The past year on MooseValley's SkyBlock server was fantastic, fun-filled, and exciting. The staff on SkyBlock wish everyone a happy New Years!


Breaking News! -
  • A new server-wide weekly newsletter is now currently in the works! I will be coming along with it very shortly for all players to enjoy. The SkyBlock Post will continue as normal, and will not be impacted in anyway. It will not however, be on a blogspot blog, but rather in a PDF file so that [Dev]Asm0deus can easily place it onto the servers forums for more easy access and so it's more user-friendly. I cannot currently give out a estimated time of arrival (ETA) until the letter is almost entirely completed
  • The "*Click Image to enlarge*" text was moved from below the Weekly Picture, to above it, after many questions regarding its placement
  • The SkyBlock Post will now be posted biweekly, (every other week). This was due to the fact that the [Editor-In-Chief]Mine_R2 wants to give  new and already exsisting SkyBlock players a full and filled informational newsletter. Some of the issues in past weeks have not been completed to the highest satisfaction. He always strives to get better and better. This was the best option. The SkyBlock Post will still be the same, just posted at a different time. 

Reminders -
[Editor-In-Chief]Mine_R2 "I hope you all have a great New Years and work on your new years resolutions!"
[Sr-Mod]Heenim "I like turdlez!"

Editors Minute - 
This issue, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New years! I hope you all have a New Years resolution in mind, and if not, maybe yours should be to think of one next year! I would also like to apologies to everyone about the new time that the SBP will be posted at. I have found that I'm getting very busy as new opportunities are coming up in life. I hope you can all understand that I will try my very best to make the SBP a great article for you all! It was my main goal when I first started the post to inform and welcome new players on MooseValley's best server. I've had a great year with you all, and I hope to continue that bond for many years to come, with that, I wish you all a healthy and happy gaming time!

The SkyBlock Post
Week of 12-14-14


General -
Players have been in and out the "doors" of SkyBlock this week. Much like they are at your local mall! Christmas is, as stated last week, "just around the corner!"; Be prepared to deal with what ever weather Mother Nature has to throw at you. Islands have been getting reasonably bigger this week. Players have been not only expanding, but have been building creative builds on their expansions as well. 


Breaking News! -
  • The wording in the section "New Mods/Staff" has been edited from "There are no new Jr-Mods/Mods/Staff this week." to "There are no new Jr-Mods/Mods/Staff on SkyBlock this week." In order to limit the new Mods/Staff to SkyBlock, as the SkyBlock post mainly covers the MooseValley SkyBlock server. This change was only due to that fact. Not to dis-include other MooseValley servers new Mods/Staff.
  • The wording in the section "Mod/Staff Promotions" has been edited from "There has been no new Jr-Mods/Mods/Staff promotions this week." to "There has been no new Jr-Mods/Mods/Staff promotions on SkyBlock this week." In order to limit Mod/Staff promotions to SkyBlock, as the SkyBlock Post mainly covers the MooseValley SkyBlock server. This change was only due to that fact. Not to dis-include other MooseValley servers Mod/Staff promotions.
  • A new server-wide weekly newsletter will be coming along very shortly for all players to enjoy. The SkyBlock Post will continue as normal, and will not be impacted in anyway. We can expect it to be up and running next week, the same time as the SkyBlock Post is posted.

Editors Minute - 
This issue, I'd like to thank all of the people who opened their hearts, mind, and islands to let me visit them and their islands. This may seem like a small thing to do; but it's a huge deal to let someone into your own private space, especially if they're going to be sharing it with everyone else. They are great people with great hearts, that are willing and eager. I'd also like to thank the three over the top players who got together to take this weeks Weekly Picture! They are also amazing people who are eager and willing. I hope everyone has a great week, and a great holiday season!
