Not that I want to be too harsh, but as I see it, there are three possible things wrong:
1) No verb. (Assuming that you mean "accumulate acorns in a stack".) You should have either staki (to stack), amasigi (to accumulate), or akumuli (to accumulate, to stack). I would guess that you'd want to use the -u form to make it a command.
2) Two nouns in a row. If you wanted to say something like "An acorn stack" or "A stack of acorns", then you would either use an adjective noun combination (glaja pilo, acorn-ish pile?), merge the two into one word (glanpilo, acorn pile), or use a preposition (pilo de glanoj, pile of acorns).
3) Non-agreement of endings. Ignoring everything else about the two nouns, I would expect to see -j -j.
So I would go with akumulu glanojn.

The only thing I could think of was Ike when he's in Smash Bros. https://youtu.be/qjWNT0L6r3M

Didn't try it, but since there's no plural you in Esperanto, could this also be translated as "Prepare yourselves!"?

Yeah, that seems like it ought to also be an acceptable translation.

Compromise: In everyday Esperanto there is no difference between singular you and plural you. They say Zamenhof was afraid a plural (only) you would be used as a polite singular form and cause all kinds of confusion.

"Vi" is "plural you"... There is also "singular you", but that isn't used very often... PS: That "singular you" is "ci"

I was expecting "Preparigxu!" Considering that we are in the ig/igx module.
