Welcome to the first and most exciting weekly post of 2018!  I can't wait to share all the big news we have for you all, there's lots of it and it's gonna be coming in the new year to give you all a great fruity experience.  Let's start this year off with a blast!

Donating Statistics

Beyond the Bowl

We'll start with the staff roster, Survival has two great new additions to the staff team with SimpleDF and Seadog joining our wonderful team, we wish them the best, and be sure to make them welcome and ask them any questions you have.

Along with this we've got some great creative store stuff happening, here's the low down from Goldsta.

Good news for the more inventive players who like to frolick over on our creative server - more perks are being added! Not only that, we're looking into making some existing perks more worthwhile. To start with, the Armour Stand tools perk has been added which allows you to experiment with more customisable armour stands. We've also revisited the world edit brush perk and made it several times more useful - you'll need to read the description on the store for that one because there's a little too much to mention here! Players who have already purchased brushes will need to wait a little for us to update your existing perk as it is a time consuming process. More will be added to the creative store in coming days, get excited!

Along with this I also have some extra special news.  Not one, not two, but THREE events will be held weekly, with Wednesday and Friday being event days as per usual, but I will be hosting small mini-games on Sunday to help us all cool down and relax.  Our first one will be next Sunday, where we'll be playing family feud, so get those thinking caps on and game faces ready, I hope to see you there.  To keep you interested I will however give you a taste of what's to come.

Final point is staff positions are available as always.  We've got a lot of big things coming and a lot of players around and we're always in need of more of you. If you are willing to donate some time and have the skills, head on down to the staff page and apply!

Trivia

As usual I have a little event chat.  This one is brief, in simple I'd love to give you the best events, more of the best events, new events to quench your thirst and so forth.  So I have a request from all of you.  It's when participating in events give any feedback, be it for the map, the running of the event or how much you like it, and please make it serious.  The other thing is a quick poll, comment your favourite event that we currently run, I'd love to see what everyone else's favourite events are.

Selfie of the Week

Not only is this a great way to share your love of fruit servers and to share your happenings with the community but it's a great way to earn a free token!  All you have to do is post your selfies in game into the forum thread for the chance to win!  This has to be my favourite way to win a token, and my favourite way to keep up to date with all your goofy stuff you do as I can't be everywhere at once :(

I think this one speaks for itself GOLDSTA

Congratulations to Cupid and Naneek_Mot, your tokens will be coming around shortly!  Keep sending in those selfies fruitsters!

Marriages

Skyblock

On behalf of the staff I hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday and we hope you are prepared for a great 2018.  We know we're gonna have the best year on fruit, and we want to pass that onto you and let's help each other out to create the best 2018 for all of us.  Cherish what we've got and improve on our 2017 experiences.  Yes I'm tired and I love you all fruitsters, keep on keeping on and big hugs from Bulk_llama.
