Just a word beforehand, you know me and I'm telling 100% the truth, the full truth, and only the truth, I promise you, and I know you're not attempting to stab me Chris.
Alright! So let's get started.
Toilethound.
I have virtually no clue about toilethound's diamonds. I remember a while back, he said he used a spawner/mob grinder/of some sort to kill lots of pigs, and he sold me about a double chest of pigs for iron. I gave him about half the amount of pork he gave me in iron ingots, and you know I go easy with prices, so it was justified to me (2 iron ingots = 1 pork, pork are easy to find). He must've sold the iron to another spawning rank for diamonds, I suppose? I'm not sure. But I gave him about a chest of iron in return for his double chest of pork. That's it.
If I gave him any pork, he must have paid for it.
Cori’s Diamonds.
This will be short. When you asked me if it had occurred to me to mine ores with a Fortune pickaxe, I thought you meant the idea of buying large quantities of diamond ore, then mining it with a Fortune pickaxe as a way to beat the system and, in a way, receive an infinite influx of ore product. Which, hasn't occurred to me, but my pickaxe currently has Fortune III on it, and I do use that often. That was a misunderstanding. I in fact HAVE thought of mining with Fortune.
And, Cori, thank you for the statistics, I appreciate the help.
Giving things to members.
Now, it's a common fact that I give new members some supplies and tools to get them started. However, I will say that I never give in excess. I know that overgiving ruins the fun of a survival server, so I usually give a set of iron or diamond tools, with at MOST a stack of iron, and about half a stack of pork (obviously from the stash that toilethound sold to me). I would never give too much.
Spawning.
I can comfortably say I don't think I've ever spawned anything for someone else. If I did, it was most likely something decorative and useless, like a few flowers. I'm under the impression I've never broken a large rule like that, and I believe it's true.
My chests.
This paragraph is going to be the longest, I know that. I've been talked to about this before. Eva talked to me about this just recently.
Now, as a SuperDonor, after Robby, Eva, and Em got Admin in 2012, I saw it as an opportunity to prove myself worthy for staff. I helped anyone at any time, and much of that was selling items to other people. You may not believe me, but I did a LOT of selling to others. Trade was the biggest request I received in my mad rush to prove myself worthy. Spawn eggs, blocks, enchants, tools, you name it. During that time I've sold it to someone as long as it didn't overstep the rules. I did jobs which people payed me for. All of this was over the course of about a year. Especially when I came back from my leave.
And, as you know, I mined. I mine more than most think, however I’m not trying to peg all of my ores on mining. Obviously I don’t mine ALL that much, it’s proven in my scores. However, I do try to mine each day, with “Colin”, my Fortune III pickaxe. I always mine in my personal one, an undiscovered abandoned mine shaft with plenty of ore. Bridget as well as Eva both know this. This combined with the pickaxe yields often over a stack of iron ore each day. When smelted, the ores add up.
If you want to be picky, I got SuperDonor at around Christmas 2012, so the year mark just passed. Subtract five months for my temporary leave, and that’s still seven months of trading and mining, never a day being online passing where I didn’t do one or the other.
Conclusion.
So, to close my spiel, I assure you I’ve still kept up my “clean streak”, and I apologize for the misunderstanding and false first impression I might have put up. I know it’s startling looking through my chests, but I’m glad you posted this, because it’s been a question many people of high ranking have asked me over the past year and a half I’ve been loyal to the server.
And I do assure you as well I'm not offended, hurt, or upset by this at all, I know it was a post created from a purely beneficial desire for the server and for me. I love you bunches as well.
I hope this helped clear up the predicament.
