    With Minewars today, at 1:30pm Eastern standard time. I thought I'd make a post of what to look forward for today, and any questions that you have regarding anything Minewars. Keep in mind, payment/Job related information will not be said. So post below any questions you have, and I'll respond ASAP! Happy Bidding today folks!

    Funfact - Did you know Minewars was the very first storage related game on E.C.C? It began all the way back in October 2011!

    What should you look forward for today at Minewars?
    - Stuff!
    - A town giveaway (Possibly) at the end of the Minewars event! (200x200, desert biome, although, half covered in grass)
    - Most likely a $10 giftcard.
    - Random giveaways! (Efficiency 5's, Portals blocks, Music Discs, etc!)
    - Winter styled Minewars!
    - Hot chocolate for your little toes don't freeze to the ground!
    - A great time!
    - Screenshots with the Minewars staff.
    - Be on our official youtube channel ran by andrewkm! The entire event will be recorded!
    - And much much more!

    Questions And Answers!
    Q. Will the hot chocolate have marshmallows?
    A. Well of course they will!

    Q. What made you think of the idea of Minewars?
    A. Well one night I was watching the show Storage Wars, it's a show were they basically bid on lockers, just like Minewars. Well, I was watching it, and then some reason it just came to my head, I right away flew to my previous pumpkin farm (Where Minewars is now) and flew underneath the town, and built a 10x7 or something black wool locker, lol. I told ike, about the idea, and he came and auctioned random stuff inside. It sold for about $5,000, which was a lot, at the time. So we then dug out the area a little further underground and built 12 lockers, and auctioned them off. The next day, Rezonl came and filled a few lockers, we then looked at the giant pumpkin farm, and thought what it'd be like if it were minewars; We right away began clearing land. We built a few 'huts' and then Ike came online, and told us how the lockers all suck, so we divided up the work. Ike would help manage, I would handle the event hosting, advertising, etc. And rezonl would fill lockers.

    A few days later, Zeno78 asked if he could fill a locker, along with HDvorteX - They were great friends back then, so we said sure! We then got the concept of a staff team. Later on, I quit the server, after returning after around two months, the entire staff team was gone, inactive, etc. Besides me and ike and a few others. So we then made a post hiring staff members. That's how Minewars began. :D

    Q. Do you have to be a certain rank to win the prizes?
    A. Not at all! All you need is some cash in your pocket to win big!
