On the topic of mining. Getting the best bang for your buck! You want to expose as many blocks as you possibly can. When I was a B I found a pattern that I thought had the best results. Dig straight down 4 blocks then cut a 2x2x2 out, then another 4 straight down and cut a 2x2x2. Just repeat until you hit bottom. Climb back up rinse and repeat.
Erratic digging straight to ore will get you banned. "x-ray holes" straight down to ores will get you banned. X-rayers are really easy to spot.. No one stares straight down at sandstone for that long.
By the time you get to Omega you will start to see a new kind of mining, (because of Op picks/axes) strip mining. Where everyone just cuts a line straight through the whole mine. This style of mining is not the most profitable (time wise) but you won't miss any of the ores/blocks.
A hint for new frees. Look down the ladders, where diamonds and ores will be very easy to spot. Got 8 diamond blocks this way in one mine reset.
thank you for that information, I am not an x-rayer, but I do mine quit randomly. I get really bored with strip mining and its dangerous in the mines, with traps and all, so I randomly mine. At the time inicool banned me I had a super successful mining trip (11 diamonds) (9 gold) I can see how that would have looked suspicious, but I don't think I should be banned, I did nothing wrong.
the fact that you say you have no proof would put you at a downside in this just for a fact that all i did was A make a square and dig down and B found the chest randomly you say do i want a server full of hackers and no i do not but this is making me very angry and i want another alpha/warden to see this because it is so unfair on how i get banned FOR NO REASON i have been kind and understanding but your action make it very on how i am in the right and you are not i been banned for unfair reason when i have no violated a rule at anytime or have been give a warning on how i am i been nice and understanding but you keep say no and won't unban and i don't no why my friend was right when he said this (SDAngle won't do anything but try to catch people even if it means banning normal people)i thought he was wrong but he was so if you can please get another alpha/warden or a owner to review this and get me unbanned for your misunderstood actions i will be happy because when i dig the 4x4 hole down in a corner which i did on my other server till they got boring because of hackers and since i seen (and now happen to me )the punishments i loved the server but i do not get your reason on your judgement on why i can't come back and how i was X-raying when all i did was dig a 4x4 hole down.I found that it was not my fault that i found the chest when people alot of times put it and i wish i picked another corner before i found it so it would help my case more but i didn't (i found this to be in the abuse section if i could just because i am right but whatever)and look all i want is a unbanning i never even used hacks because most have virus and i rather not risk my computer since it has no virus protection against most stuff so that why i bearly use my email too. So thank you if we can get this done with and i can go back to playing on the server and thank you again for you time.
This is entirely incomprehensible. Use a paragraph. Use grammar. Use spelling. Then people will actually consider what the hell you're saying. Also, I'm fairly sure you're aware of this but I'll say it anyways: ALPHA GUARDS CAN USE XRAYTO WATCH YOU WHILE INVISIBLE
He literality walked right passed me when i was being hit.
Also to add on to this report about 10 minutes after i drank a strength potion and stood infront of him with my sword out (expecting him to count) and he just quickly ran off to cafeteria without even counting.
Needs a demote.
Okay, he screwed up once, I really don't think it's that big of a deal. So what if he wasn't paying attention once? I'm 98% sure Noble is not a robot that doesn't make mistakes. As for the other 2%...we may have an issue.
IGN: comicbros101
Current rank on the server: Free
Reason you were banned: I Abused the /esethome and /ehome commands
Warden/Alpha that issued your ban: (N/A if you don't know) Noakii or hexacyanide
Approximate time of ban: (Include time zone) I forgot, about week ago.... Eastern Standard Time
Why you deserve to be unbanned: Because I usualkly never get sucked to oppurtunities where i can abuse a command. The thought of having unlimited levels got to my head and I just couldnt control myself. Then i paid the price for believing abusing a command by getting banned. I dont usually get myself into any risky situations on the server due to my 40$ donation, but I was getting more anxious everday and ended up abusing the command. I'm hoping you will give me another chance on the server, I now understand not to abuse anything ever again. I love this server and would hate to see that a server i donated money to isnt even available to me.
Any additional information: I admit to setting my home in EQ, Donor, and in Parts of WQ and hope you will trust me with one last chance on the server.

a) you need to play for at least 3 days
you should re-write the questions and numbers
c) fix spelling/capitalization/grammar
d) timezone is not how long you play per day, but rather, well, it's hard to explain. For instance, someone living in California would be in the timezone PST, or -8.
e) you did not read the rules, re-read them, you are missing something in your app.
f) You say you've been playing it for a long time but you've only played for 2 days...
g) #7 needs to be a lot longer
I am so sick of SDAngles guarding excuses and abuse.... Here is some evidence to back up my previous statement
There is no abuse here, you Frees keep complaining about all the rules.
I told you to get out, not suicide.
You guys think of ton of loopholes to get yourself out of being jailed.

And he is an alpha guard...... wtf
Sda, I asked Noakii about this and he wasn't informed that you can jail for suicide... and as far as I know suiciding when being called out is not jailable. If they die, they're dead. Its not jail
think... Do you throw a dead body in jail? :/
1) Username: iAmKdkane
2) Your age: 15
3) How long have you been playing the server? (Minimum of 3 days)7 years
4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules? I have many timess.
5) Any experience with the prison genre? Killion, DDTS, DDC
6) What is your time zone? Central
7) Why are you the best choice for guard? (1-2 paragraphs) I think I'm the best choice for guard because I'm good at pvp. I'm sort of OP, considering I have Chaos Buff, Tons of pots, OP swords, PvP skills. Although I'm free I help out the guards more than I help out the Frees seeing as when Frees I don't like Riot/Fight a guard I throw slowness/poison/weakness at the Free. So I basicly just help the guards, UNLESS I'm killing them. I know the rules, seeing as when I get jailed I learn a knew rule. I was told by one of the Alphas that I should apply for guard, I wanted to be guard before I got Chaos but y'know, my app was ignored. Hopefully I get guard. Thank you for considering me as Guard. Noakii is a *****
8) Do you understand that nagging Wardens in-game to read your app will result in immediate decline? I do.
9) What is your current prison rank? Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard? I'm Free. Many players know I'm free. ALexis posted a picture up there ^ of me being Free.

GUARD APPLICATION
Username: ender_slayer1 (the hippie)
Your Age: 15 (wrote this app on my birthday yay!)
How long have you been playing the server? (minimum of 3 days):I've been playing Convicted for about 6 months now
Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard rules?: Yes of course! I don't want to go into trainee blindly and unprepared.
Any experience with the the prison genre?:Convicted is the first and only server I play on.
What is your time zone?: Pacific
Why are you best choice for guard? (1-2 paragraphs): I, my friends, no longer wish to be a hippie. I have tried and tried to rid myself of the rank, but so far, all attempts have failed. I've tried to wash myself clean of hippie dirt, but normal soap doesn't seem to work! I believe only chainmail can scrub off dirt. The responsibility of Guard would halt my laziness and give me a real job, not just running around trying to cause harm. As a Guard, I would take my job as seriously as I take ma dope, and treat it respectfully. I would try as hard as I can not to make mistakes, and when I do (no ones perfect) I will correct and learn from them. I will try to become the perfect Guard, working like a machine and keeping the peace.
Do you understand that nagging wardens in-game to read your app will result in immediate decline? I understand completely, take your time wardens, I've waited for 5 months and I think I can wait a little while longer.
What is your current prison rank? Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard?: I am a hippie (free) donor, and here!

Loopholes to get out of a jail? When the free dies, all bets are off, you cant jail them. And, if the point is to dispose the sword, if the free doesnt keep it and simply throws it away for you, you cant jail them. Its funny how your the only guard who does anyways, dont you ever think that you're wrong? You say I bend the rules but you fail to realize that you are bending the rules just to jail us.
NOOOOO, the secret is out. ):
