For those asking who I am.

[shannonxoxoxo]

Real Name: Shannon
IGN: shannonxoxoxo
Nick: PikaMom

I am probley the oldest Pika player around if you find someone older please let me know. I have been playing on Pika on and off for three years. The first year I took the time to get to know most of the players and just enjoyed learning the basic of minecraft while in Survival I really did not play anywhere else during that time. During the second year I starting playing on all the servers getting to know even more players. I actually became a helper without making a staff app. Within 3 months I became an Admin and Head Admin at 4 months. I resigned as Head Admin in November 2015 because I was no longer happy.

I am from the US I live in West Virginia and work for the US Government. I 41 years old married and a mother of two children a boy 16 and a girl 14 they are my world and there is nothing in the world that I would not do for them. At one time they both played on Pika but have now moved on to other games and are both in high school.

So if you see me around make sure to say hi you can find me every where but Factions sorry guys I hate PVP. If you need anything just let me know. Hope to see you guys around i can also be found on TS.

Welcome Shannon!

 

[~ Logically ~]

So, you're a mother of two children in highschool. Why are you playing on Minecraft?

I'm not the only one who finds that a tad bit off.

Actually you may be. I interact with many of the players most do not even realize my age. At one point I actually was asked to prove my age. Better question is why do you play?

 

[~ Logically ~]

I don't really. I go on occasionally, and when I do. It's mostly to think how Pika was in 2014 more than 2016.

Glad you play! Its fun how you can be any age in this game and still have as much fun as everyone! Who new I'd still enjoy placing blocks at this age lol. I usually play Survival/Creative and see your name mentioned sometimes :O.
Hope to see you around, you seem lovely!

Never realised this.. you learn something new everyday :)

Shannon! One of Pika's few Legends, so glad to see you around more often everyday. I hope it stays that way, because we enjoy your company quite alot.

I'd enjoy giving a detailed story, but to keep it short and simple. Some history: Shannon is the reason I am a Staff member and have reached where I am now, forever grateful.

Much love,
Thav01.

I remember u from 2 years ago when I first started playing. I'm also a mom and married, my son is 6 and likes to play on pika my husband use to play but moved on to other games. I'm 30 and I enjoy playing Minecraft it kind reduces my stress and getting to know other players is a plus :)

P.S. I'm also from the US i live in Connecticut.

I'd never really expect adults play video games, I mean, some games I would understand. But Minecraft? Sure, if you stay away from terrible major servers, you avoid most of the toxic community *cough cough* Pika Practice/Factions and almost anything PvP related *cough cough*

 

[lillykat86]

Most of the gamers you watch on youtube are adults! I think the biggest Minecraft gamers are DanTDM, Furious Destroyer, Stampylongnose, Skydoesminecraft and that's just to name a few there are tons more. Games are not just for kids, I feel like some of the games youngsters prob shouldn't be playing like Grand Theft Auto 5 due to the EXPLICIT things like nudity, swearing, and other things kids shouldn't be seeing or hearing but hey, that's just my opinion.

Your so sweet Thav and I knew you would be great for the server which is why I fought so hard for you to become staff. I will be around for a bit.

Hello Shannon,

Sadly i wasn't here when you were staff, you seem like a chill person which nowadays you dont see allot. Glad to see that you are still apart of this "little" community we call pika-network. Hope to see you around

Sincerely,
Bas

Thanks and it is cool. I play a ton of games with my son. Right now we are involved in Dishonered 2. So far I suck. If your on ts join the channel and hang out. As far as PVP I'm horrible but I do try in Kit when everyone is on to save me.
