[Hiring] Miners (~8k/hr)

Discussion in 'Player Jobs Available' started by azoundria, Oct 2, 2014.

  1. Ok, thank you for the reply, I will see what I can do. (I will more than likely stick with selling to your low-supply shops)
  2. Just finished another map update! And I also made it so you can mouse over a tunnel to see who did all the hard work of mining it!
  3. For everyone on the edge, I just joined and made 7,545 on my first day! Azoundria even trained me and gave me super helpful tips, the mine is very organized and you get all the supplies you need. I couldn't stop going back my first day :)
    So, thanks azoundria for getting me hooked ;)

  4. Based on the feedback from our recent survey, I have decided to run a promotion.

    The mining streak measure how many weeks in a row you mine. Every week that you do mining, your streak goes up by 1. You only have to do a single run each week to get the streak.

    Any week you don't do any mining, the streak drops by 1 until it hits 0.

    Streaks are displayed on the highscore list and you can cash in your streak for cool and useful prizes. Here are the prizes you can get (in addition to your normal mining payout):

    4 Weeks
    Efficiency 4 Pickaxe

    7 Weeks
    Mending Enchanted Book
    Efficiency 4 Unbreaking 3 Pickaxe

    8 Weeks
    Enchanted Golden Apple

    9 Weeks
    Efficiency 4 Fortune 3 Pickaxe
    Efficiency 4 Silk Touch Pickaxe

    10 Weeks
    Parrot Egg

    12 Weeks
    Efficiency 4 Unbreaking 3 Fortune 3 Pickaxe
    Efficiency 4 Unbreaking 3 Silk Touch Pickaxe

    25 Weeks
    Beacon

    30 Weeks
    Elytra
    Vault Voucher

    70 Weeks
    Holiday Pickaxe

    100 Weeks
    Mineral Mincer

    There are two streak values. Your visible streak is the total streak you have accumulated, which gets displayed on the highscore list.

    Your cashable streak is the streak you haven't yet spent towards any prizes. If you claim a prize, then the cashable streak will drop by that amount. You can only claim one prize for each of your streaks.

    Both streak values increase when you mine and drop when you don't. Neither value can ever drop below 0.

    Here's an example in case this confuses anyone. If you mined for 100 weeks in a row and didn't claim any other prizes, you could cash in for a Mineral Mincer. At that point, your visible streak (displayed on the highscore list) would still be 100, while your cashable streak (what you can use for prizes) would be set back to 0. If you then wanted an Elytra, you could mine for 30 more weeks. At that point, your visible streak would be 130 and your cashable streak would drop from 30 to 0.

    The weeks switch over on Monday morning at 2 AM EMC time. Anyone who mines before then or has mined so far this week will count towards the streak for this week (ie if you mine this weekend you will be 1 week ahead of anyone who waits until Monday.)

    Streaks will be tracked and displayed on the highscore chart as soon as I set that up, and I am hoping to send them out each week as well for any active miners.

    You can order prizes by sending me a PM on the forums. Expect that it might take up to a week for me to process prizes.

    Lit, lava-free, level
    14K, everything
    250 meters
    Put in a minecart, file a report
    make sure it is level and lit.

    --Experience--
    Coal, iron (c and i are most frequent), gold, redstone, and diamond below a set y level each, rarely and only in extreme hills can emeralds be found
    Water.
    Use a eff 5 diamond pick with water to prevent lava death
    Hope you have fire res, if you don't, try to get out and douse in water. *if you can't do either, just apologize as you burn to death.*
    Either log off and holler for help if you can't do this: (or) place blocks around you or if faster dig down and hide
    Check for lava.
    Only if you are getting an ore but if going down, be wary of lava, if up, place a torch on the block below you.

    I went diggin for a while, I gave up, so this line I would say "Chicago- Central (most areas)"
    My schedule is a bit whacko but I intend to be out there at least on Saturdays, sometimes throughout the week if I have time- I like to come on when I need stress relief...
    (i answered this line ^^)
    Nope
    Nope, just stress relief if that counts.

  12. Welcome Sadie_dog. A reminder to new applicants that the application must be filled out completely. It shouldn't take that long, and the training goes a lot faster if you know your stuff already.

  15. So, can I go ahead and start mining out to expand the mines? I don't think I am going to help put more stations in, don't really have the time to help with that but we are going to need more room fast lol.

    Also, while expanding the mines before I told you that with that set up the carts were clogging. test the carts in the mine and you will be able to figure out relatively quickly what is wrong with them, I forget what it was but I do remember they were stopping like one block short of a powered rail shortly after they were sent.
  16. Is anyone else having issues with the mine report site? I asked weeh to check for me, but he's seeing no items as well, and I kinda started mining and I kinda have an inv full of junk.
  17. yes, it is not working. I reported the problem to azoundria a couple of days ago and he seems unable to reproduce the problem. I won't have access to a computer for about 3 weeks so I am probably not going to be much help with this issue.
  18. That's strange. It shut down a couple days ago, since then it's not worked right for me. I got it to work, so I went to mine, but then it just won't show any items on the list. After I already mined. I sent him a screenshot.

  19. The site is back online. A key script was IP-restricted to be visible to me only. Oddly, testing Ctrl + Refresh on that page also worked. However, at the moment I have reproduced and fixed the issue.
