Day 17903. Goldsta has yet again left another monthly post till the last minute - will he ever learn? The obvious answer is no. Welcome to the November recap, I'll be mentioning many of the major changes that have happened or will be happening over the next month. We're now in the final stages of preparation for the Christmas events, our staff have been working tirelessly to cook up something special this year so I hope everyone is as keen as me!

Fruitbowl News

Festive Season!
For those who are part of Fruitservers' discord, you would've seen H1N9's announcements about the Christmas areas being opened up on the 1st of December. Builders have worked very hard to bring this all together so we hope you enjoy what's on offer. There will be a crazy amount of events running as we get closer to Christmas so make sure you're active, you don't want to miss out!

Prison Changes
FruitPrison has seen a myriad of fixes and quality of life changes happen in the past week, most of which will be mentioned in detail in the next weekly post. As we set up our own Build Team, you will also see the existing planets improved in many ways - with that being said the team is always open to feedback so remember to be vocal.

Donations
Well done to Survival and Skyblock donors for smashing their goals this month - Prison fell short but I'm sure they'll make up for it through December! Huge thanks to everyone who has continued supporting the server. More worryingly, what's with this trend of people making donations a competition? Weirdos...

Voting Competition

Once again, thank you to everyone who continues to support the server by voting daily - it's one of the most important things you can do and it only takes a couple of minutes so be sure to continue voting every single day! For the third time in several months, we have three clear winners for the voting competition. Congratulations to Snowgies on placing 1st, with blank124 & jye_jye placing equal 2nd! Please be mindful that votes get tallied prior to the post being written so some last minute votes that you sneak in probably won't get counted. Vote reward vouchers do not contribute towards donation totals.

Top Players

FruitServers is an amazing community because of the people that are a part of it. Every month one player and one staff member from Survival, Skyblock and Prison are selected and acknowledged for their contribution to the server, whether it be ingame or behind the scenes. Congratulations to everyone mentioned below! Their support for their server made these players the obvious choices.

Player of the month Survival - Raqus. Since joining, Raqus has had a very positive impact on the people they've interacted with. Raqus (more affectionately known as StinkyArmpitRaqus on Survival) is always welcoming new players and willing to take time out to show them the ropes, well done Stinky- I mean Raqus. Well done Raqus.

Player of the month Skyblock - Potato_monster. Young Potato has been described as being a respectful, hard worker with a good attitude. Always eager to assist staff in any way possible, Potato's reliability sees him being acknowledged for this special award. Well done Potato_monster!

Player of the month Prison - _Phy. Although they're new to the server, Phy has been a fantastic player to have around on Prison. Their friendly demeanour and willingness to help others makes them a real asset to the server, well done Phy!

Staff of the month Survival - arda77. Since joining the team, arda has done nothing but go above and beyond to prove themselves. Safe to say it's worked as he is now quite popular on survival and can be relied on to complete just about any task he's given. Well done and keep it up arda!

Staff of the month Skyblock - snowpeaa. While others have become increasingly busy throughout the month, snowpeaa has worked hard to cover for the team and keep everything running smoothly. Snowpeaa's extra hard work throughout November has not gone unnoticed, well done and keep it up!

Staff of the month Prison - Brockb101. Maaaaaate, Brock has been an absolute legend throughout November. About as reliable as they come, he has made his presence known whenever an extra set of hands is needed. Whether it be providing valuable assistance during events or just being an all-round top bloke, Brock is there when you need him most. Keep it up maaaaaate.

Survival, Prison, and Skyblock are lucky to have such strong moderating teams, however we are always accepting applications for all of our staff roles. Our wonderful Event and Build Teams in particular are still looking to grow so if you'd like to be a part of something special do consider looking into these roles. Think you have what it takes to join one of these fantastic teams? Submit an application at www.fruitservers.net/staff

As mentioned in previous months we always look forward to hearing feedback from you guys about possible improvements. If you have ideas, please share them with us either through the website, in-game, or via discord. We want to know what you think!

Stay tuned for next month - the yearly recap!
I look forward to seeing you all in-game.
