[event] Friday Night Miners

Discussion in 'Empire Events' started by samsimx, Jun 24, 2014.

  1. I am hoping to attend as long as nothing pops up from now til then ...:D i can bring a beacon and some of the blocks to activate it .. along with some fire res ingredients if we were definitely going to use them ... Making a "base" would be helpful :D
  2. We actually don;t need any beacons, thanks for the offer though. We can get haste III from group effects :)

  3. Ok, I was just going of a post from earlier about things we might need.. :D and I never knew that haste was a group effect .. I did notice it while in a group of three .. But we all assumed there was a beacon around .. That is good to know!
  4. What blocks does haste III have the power for diamond pickaxes with efficiency V to mine "INSTANTLY!?" Also, "what about the speed buff?"

  5. 1 Hour and 30 Minutes to go for the event!
  6. So I won't arrive to my hotel for another hour or so, but hopefully someone can take the lead for me I can meet up with you all asap!
  7. I might just be able to get home in time for this, actually. Hope there's a good turnout!
  8. Does anyone know which server and where we are meeting exactly?
  9. I am home and hoping to be able to get things going. Still waiting to see if the reset is going to happen on time. Krysyy has been pretty confident about it happening, so I'm preparing.

    Does anyone have a problem with smp1? I don't have any specific reason other than I think it will be the first to get reset.
  10. I am a little confused on the exact time due to the waste reset ... will it be done at exactly 8? I havent been around for one before .
  11. Just chatting with Krysyy on mumble and it seems like the reset will be a little later than announced

    Big surprise there.... Trying to figure a plan

  13. SMP1 is great!

    So I looking to buy up materials to stock my shop and also running a mini competition if anyone is interested in participating.

    Rather than having to cart anything back to town and find a place to sell it, you can simply place it in a buried chest, fill out a report, and I'll pay you as soon as I can pick it up.

    Prizes:
    1) 1st place - highest value of materials gathered by 3 AM EDT.
    Unbreaking 3, Efficiency IV, Silk Touch I or Fortune III Enchanted Diamond Pickaxe
    Opportunity to join my mine in SMP1 wilderness and make ~8k/hr for free. (12,000r value.)

    2) 2nd place - second highest value of materials gathered by 3 AM EDT.
    Whichever pickaxe is left over.
    Opportunity to join my mine in SMP1 wilderness and make ~8k/hr at half price. (6,000r value.)

    3) 3rd place - third highest value of materials gathered by 3 AM EDT.
    Power 3 Unbreaking 3 Enchanted Bow
    Opportunity to join my mine in SMP1 wilderness and make ~8k/hr 25% off. (3,000r value.)

    I will publish a live leaderboard momentarily. Also, if there's anything anyone would particularly like as prizes then let me know as well!
  14. Ok, well, smp9. We will be mining in the existing wastelands and Krysyy has promised to give us notice prior to the reset so that we can pack things up if the event isn't over yet. It might be many hours before they get around to starting the reset, so no point in waiting.

    Meeting at town spawn asap. If this message is a little old, log on to smp9 and I can hear town chat, so just ask about the friday night mining group.
  15. Last night, I have found that participating in groups can be difficult for me. This is primary because of my autism. I have never spoke in Mumble at the time because I didn't want to interrupt anyone's conversations, and the sensory environment by everyone else became almost a distraction.

    These behaviors connect with symptoms of autism. An autistic person may be disturbed by their surroundings and can't function to their full-potential from them. They may also highly value rules and to follow them. "Don't interrupt" is one of the rules in conversations; it's considered to do rude on someone. However, interruptions may be necessary when there are multiple people involved.

    A person with autism isn't useless or inferior to those without it, but the symptoms of it can lead to low self-esteem. Social interactions and ignoring surroundings can be difficult tasks for an autistic person, but they can be trained overtime for improvement like anyone else.

    With that said, my poor experiences with this weekly event is not because of anyone in particular; it's because of my autism.

  16. Having all those people running around doing different things is part of the group mining. I know that it makes my head spin after a while and before long I am off mining by myself just to get a break from it. It takes a bit of getting used to.

    We had a pretty large group last night, and in mumble we didn't move the mining group out of the public channel. This made it more fun at times and less fun at other times.

    The wasteland reset caused a delay, but I think things went pretty well after we finally got a start. I hope we can keep doing this and make adjustments if players want to keep it fun.

  17. Don't suppose we could maybe set up a Sunday one of these? I missed because of performance. Seems like a ton of fun though!
  18. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess everyone's too busy with Halloween to bother with FNM tonight? Unless you guys wanna trick-or-treat together, res to res, asking for ores and stuff? :p
  19. Haha was going to make a post on this later but now works.

    Due to it being halloween and the fact most people will be out running rampant on the streets I'll be hosting it tomorrow night!

  20. Can we still do Friday Night Mining tonight, for the people who don't have any other plans?
    Can we also do Saturday Night Mining, for the people who couldn't make it tonight?
