    Welcome, here is an idea of mine that I would like to try and make: The specialist miners association!!


    This is an association of people that consider mining to be their main source of income, we will start with our first meeting when the mining world resets, and will create a base, a way down to bedrock, and make the the mining spawn look good, our base could include many features such as an Ender chest, as if we put chests in there they will be removed during the reset.

    How I got this Idea: With the last mining reset there was a very nice stairway made by someone that went down into the ground, and I loved this stairway and used it all the time, I also think that miners are not really appreciated enough, as it's their hard work that brings all of the minerals and stone and dirt and wood etc. that people use to make huge buildings, miners are the backbone of ECC, and, I mean, the word mine is in the name!!

    How to apply:

    Fill out this application form and stick it in this forum, also tag me in the application.

    IGN:
    Your In game rank:
    What donation features do you have:
    How long have you been on ECC:
    How long do you spend mining each time you go on ECC:
    How much money do you have:
    How much of this have you made by mining:
    How can you help this wonderful association:
    How do you mine:
    What level do you mine at:
    Do you understand that this may take a while to process:


    Ranks:

    There are many different ranks as follows

    Leader: MagicFanatic
    Co-Leaders: SlinkyRabbit bombas123456
    Head Miner: khrones
    Senior Miners:
    Builders:
    Miners: rivercobber
    Donators:

    You can also apply to be paid, but this is a delicate discussion:
    To get your pay you must mine then give all of your resources, except dirt, and timestamped evidence of when you started and finished, and I will get back to you about your paycheck for that trip
    If you are a builders or above, you can apply to be paid with this application form:

    IGN:
    How long have you been part of the specialist miners association:
    How much do you want to be paid per hour of mining:
    How do you mine:
    Why do you think you should be paid:

    Of course to get into these senior ranks, you need to apply with this form:

    IGN:
    What SMA rank are you now:
    Why should you be promoted:
    What rank do you want to be promoted to:


    So this is a very new concept and I will /mail send all members when, where, why we are holding meetings and they can reply.

    Of course this is a new concept but I thought I might try it.

    And remember, it's not all about the money

    [EDIT] Tweaked the application a little bit

    the main problems with this would be
    1. All the Grief
    2. I don't know about most big miners but I don't like mining in the same spot, because then I get less profit.
    3. people could just buy, or use the same ores over and over for the getting payed to mine thing.
    Now if the base was in a protected town, and we had a mini one in mining world and there are more rules, I might apply, as this is a good idea.

    I like the idea, but to apply I think you should take this a little more seriously.

    Thank you for your application, i will meet with you when you are online and we can organise some stuff, But you seem to be the only one interested in this, so you can easily be promoted very highly, I am taking @BennyPOtter5679 's suggestion and am trying to make a base in my town, but you can easily be accepted.

    Accepted, Promoted to co-leader on joining.

    I don't see any problem with this, it's just that we have too many co-leaders of late so you can be a miner, but feel free to apply for a promotion.

    Accepted.

    Ok, time for some news, I have started a miners base in my town of Magic_City, the portal is in Towns 5, Redstone, Quartz corner, I will post some screenshots of it when I can, but you can check it out yourself. Also me and SlinkyRabbit have some plans to organise some mining competions. If you have any questions just /mail or /pm me and I will get back to you.

    Have a nice time mining,
