How To Roleplay Mining

* You see an old dwarf holding a pickaxe to his shoulder. He makes eye contact with you.*

Hello lad! Today I will tell ye 'ow to properly mine and keep de Minin Hall's safe from collaspe and keep it well organized within our Nation. Listen up well cause I will only be sayin this once!

Now minin is a major culture fer us Dwarves. It is the essence in our economy and our resources fer defenses. Though ye can't just start creating random tunnels, ye will be crushed before ye can get that ore ye seen. Ye need to make sure the Minin Halls are well organized and yer fellow miners are with ye followin the rules ov Minin. Ye need to make pillars to 'old yer structure stone preferably is the best choice, wood will break to easy. Ye can also 'ave walls between the Mineshafts. Ye also need to calculate yer distances and understand where ye think needs support durin the mineshafts. If you find caves never go alone ye can get lost and die ov starvation. Always leave a trail back to where you were. But before ye even enter a cave ye must talk with a 'ead miner the lad who be in charge of ye. Yer leader is always an Overseer who be in charge ov the entire Minin Hall. Payment will usually be ov ore or Minas, though if ye wish ye can work fer the Kingdom. If ye find a revine let the 'ead miner know and 'e must let an overseer know. Ye can mine in these areas but you continue yer task. Aye I believe ye understand I 'ope this will help ye.

OOC:

Organizing the MineShafts

The best way to organziing a Mine shaft is too always have one major Mining Hall. A Mining Hall depending on how large the region is Continues from one side of the Region to the end of it. Along the walls of the Mining Hall will be Mine Shafts. The Mining Hall must always be an odd number in blocks including the MineShafts. This system of mining is to allow a continuation of future Mining, and other things for building projects and some cool major RP events. If you get what I mean...

Mining Halls in length could be from 101 in length or 201. Width 9 - 15. Height 9- 11. They will be continously expanded.

Mine shafts along the walls could be 5 to 7 in width, and 21-31 in length. Height 5.

When the Mineshafts are at the end of the Measurement in length it will go 9-11 blocks down and the pattern will continue until at a certain level suitable for diamond.

Along the walls of the mine shaft will be 3-5 in width, 3 in height and it will connect into a Mineshaft beside it.

Eventually the Walls seperating the Mine shafts will be transformed into pillars.

RULES OOC and RP:

OOC Rules:

1) 1x1 Shafts, this ruins the RP for mining. I understand it's to collect ore for later but this destroys the fun in mining for dwarves. Especially those who wish to RP as a Miner. It also can ruin the economy and ruin future builds. You also will get a kick in the face.

2) XRAYING! This is a bannable offence and if caught your gone from the server, notify a head miner or Council member or a Overseer within the mines but make a modrequest after you observe it. This ruins the economy of the server and also stops people from enjoying the RP in mining and well the ores are gone. There are ways to spot a XRAYER just PM me or ask someone.

3) If you see anything strange please let a head miner know, but always try to go for the Overseer first.

4) Stay with the Mineshafts at all times if you see a cave notify a head miner or Overseer. If it's a ravine same thing. Close it off with cobble stone and make sure to continue the path of the Mineshaft. Once notified you can go in the Ravine or Cave but DON'T go to deep you will get lost.

5) DON'T go to deep in caves and ravines, you will get lost not only that is that you will also start mining in random hap hazard patterns.

6) DON'T mine in haphazard patterns.

7) If you see random holes with no ores, notify a head miner or Overseer.

8) Minecraft mineshafts are also to be notified to the head miners or Overseer.

9) Mining Halls and Mineshafts measurements will be decided when built than follow those measurements.

RP Rules: (( still being worked on.))

1) You must always follow the Mining design rules.

2) If ye see suspicious behaviour let a guard or 'ead miner know or a Overseer.

3) Punishment fer stealin ores will be severe, or dishonor wil be bestoyed upon ye (( shaving of the beard.))

4) Ye see a cave or Ravine close it up and let a 'ead miner know and the 'ead miner must notify an Overseer.

5) Yer name will always be asked by guards before enterin the Minin Hall.

7) Guards must always ask anyone entering the Mining Halls.

8) If you see any corruptness let an Overseer know.

\

9) It is wise to carry a weapon a with ye at all times.

10) Guards who guard the Entrance ov de Minin 'all must 'ave all Miners listed within there realm.

Benefits

The benefits of this design is to allow for future builds with in the dwarves and definitely a Deep Roads.It also allows more jobs Rply and also gives something for military personal to do. Even more possibilities that I don't know.

Remember stay true to stone, 'ave fun minin with yer kin and keep yer wits about you.

As an old dwarf once told me. "May yer beard grow long and yer cup be filled with ale."

(( Will be updated. Let me know what you think. The finished process will be reposted if you guys accept this. I love mining as a dwarf and I hope you guys love it as well. It is part of our culture as dwarves and I believe we should do mining proudly. I have more ideas to come send me a PM if you have any questions.))

(( No idea if I was supposed to put this in Your Ideas and Lore or here. Since I felt this is will be solely more focused with Dwarves.))

[TEEbrown 348]

((Yes! This is exactly what we need for when we get the new mine at Karik. I HIGHLY suggest the mining guild adopt this attitude towards mining. And by highly I mean, do it now! XD ))

[Destroyer_Bravo 1054]

3) Punishment fer stealin ores will be severe, or dishonor wil be bestoyed upon ye (( shaving of the beard.))

((This made me laugh. And this is an amazing idea (The whole thing)))

[CaptainBrock 254]

((This is alot of basic stuff for mining but it's good with the RP part. I agree 1x1 tunnels are really bad RP and annoying SADLY all of the Kal'Dwain mine is mined out by that.))

[Omithiel 192]

(( Thank you guys for your support I tried it mines of Alras and it works. There are some flaws when it comes to rule breaks. Especially those who don't read them I have a solution now that will decrease the chance of that happening. Please support for those who are viewing by commenting your opinion. Whether you disagree or agree.))

[Gorum© 623]

( Since I RP a lot in Omithiels mines, I can say that this idea is amazing. And it definently worked for alras, we also have a lot of ores through this organized method. Personally I think the server should adopt this rule for public mines in nations, but that's just my opinion. )

[Gorum© 623]

( Sorry for the double post, on a phone. I'd just like to add that the only problem I've seen in the Alras mines is Xraying, which is a server wide problem. )

[Supertimmy4ever 19]

((i agree))

[no longer active 734]

This is an amazing idea! Maybe have a minecart track run across the main hallway that people can store their ores in so they don't have to run back to their chests?

[Arbrek the Ancient 140]

((The Silverfingers will be adopting this method.))

[Broski 54]

((This is alot of basic stuff for mining but it's good with the RP part. I agree 1x1 tunnels are really bad RP and annoying SADLY all of the Kal'Dwain mine is mined out by that.))

Today a new mine will be created and we will totally follow this idea. First we will create a mining hall, and if you see ANY 1x1 tunnels you modreq and they will be warned. 2 warnings is lowered to lowest rank. 4 warnings is kicked out. Thats all ))

[Rhisereld 317]

(This is exactly what has been needed in the mines. The Renatus mines are a mess of X-Ray tunnels and random holes and I've all but given up.)

[Broski 54]

(( We will not have public mines, only for Dwarves; They have to join our Guild then they can get access to the mine, although they would still have to fill their chests with ores to keep access in the mine. ))

[Skippy 2466]

Add this to the songs:

[Omithiel 192]

(( Lol Nice choice of music for Mining.)) (( I will put it up :P ))

* Omithiel wipes the sweat from his brow, covered in brownish- black dirt spots from all the Mining, He hears Skippy singin a tune 'nd begins to sing as well.*

"What a good tune aye...."

*Omithiel takes a pause and looks down the hall from where He's standing.*

" T'ree quarters ov the Minin Hall be done, we can almost start the mineshafts!"
