    WBlaine posted in what is a diamond worth??.

    If you want to continue down mister Chris's thought process of valuing resources based on relative abundance, you can use the fact that fortune III on average increases drops for diamond by 120% to set a lower limit on the value. If you assume all diamonds are mined with fortune III, you get 11 iron per diamond (this is the lowest reasonable ratio). You would need more information about how frequently different pickaxes are used, but, to set limits, in terms of relative abundance, there are 11-25 iron per diamond.

    But, this is still oversimplified. A majority of the mining being done on the server occurs at Y =< 16, where all diamond ore is generated. This is what BluePlauge is referring to. If we assume iron veins are uniformly distributed in 0 < Y < 64, the relative amount of iron available to players mining at "diamond level" is 1/4 the absolute amount. So, for these players, the lower limit is 3 iron per diamond. But now to determine to actual value, you have to consider another variable: how often people mine in this fashion.

    In the end though, I think this is a pointless exercise. As Sofatroll said, iron can be easily farmed. Its a commodity not a currency. I wouldn't value the US dollar on the number of potatoes in supply. And given though people only ever purchase with diamonds, and rarely with iron, I don't feel especially to determine an exchange rate.

    Fixed your picture. Sure, I think I've seen some demand for map art in the past. Just need to price well as it could be a lot of work.

    Again, let's try to keep this thread on topic. If you want to discuss actual achievements you have earned, post it here!
    I, for one, have minimal achievements :/

    I like the idea if it wouldn't be too hard to implement. Would lead to more frequent arena fighting as there wouldn't be the fear of getting ganged up on, which almost always happens. I would suggest an observation platform, unlike the VIP+ arena

    Given that you no longer accept applications and this is devolving to pointless bickering, I have locked the thread.

    I have one nether star. I sell them for 4 db. Usually have more but haven't had the time to grind skulls. Can probably have more on the weekend

    RockinRicky2,

    You have good intentions and thanks for keeping an eye out for other players, but this doesn't not merit a report. People tease each other and joke around. On the other hand, if a player is clearly being harassed or incessantly pestered to the displeasure of the targeted player, there is basis for a report. In this case, if javonjw had clearly asked alarm to stop and showed offense, and alarm ignored the request, that could be considered harassment. All this aside, if alarm had used derogatory terms to jab at javon, that would not be acceptable. Just keep this in mind!
