Nakia scores a Blausarium ATH
Recently we had a little piece of island history made when, on the 28th of July, a rather large quantity of Blausarium was discovered by June "Nakia" Smith from the Shaolin society.
38059 PED of the blue ore was unearthed in the eastern half of the island, catapulting her into the #8 position on the mining all time high.
This find is interesting not for its enormous value but for the circumstances surrounding it. Nakia had spent the past two weeks chasing a Hogglo ATH with her friends Euroman and Neomaven as part of the team "We believe in Miracles" and this find is only the second of significance in the entire two years that she has been part of the virtual world.
During the hunt on the 28th of July Nakia decided to drop a bomb whilst looking for the next Hogglo and instead of a Hogglo ATH, she uncovered a Blausarium one instead!
The interesting part?
Nakia explains the circumstances that lead to the find:
"Me and Euroman decided to go hunt Hogglos even though we had visitors, Euromans younger brother, who also plays Entropia, was here for a brief visit. I always carry bombs I don't really use probes a lot so I didn't have any with me.
We TP'ed once east as always and ran from there until we found the first Hogglo which sadly hit me with a critical and I went to revive. I TP'ed out again while Euroman waited for me where he had killed the Hogglo. I figured I could drop a bomb on the way when Euromans brother asked me if I had any probes on me. I told him no and he said that this was around where Brumle had gotten that ATH (Euromans brother Bagoni was the guy who was teamed with Brumle the day he got his ATH). So I said well I'll just drop a bomb like I always do when I run out after revive, and I got a hit."
"I might as well be honest - I don't mine a lot so therefore I am not good with claim sizes but I could see it would probably be a HOF when it said "Gigantic". So I asked Euroman and his brother Bagoni how big is gigantic? They both asked me "Are you are kidding??" before Euroman said if you have hit Gigantic it's an ATH.
Of course he thought I was joking because Brumle had gotten exact same size in the same area and I thought he was joking when he said it was an ATH, but I think they could tell that maybe it wasn't a joke by the way I looked at them. They both ran from Euromans computer over to me as I ran to the coords and the trumpets sounded and sparkles appeared."
It is certainly very interesting that the Blausarium was found in the same area that Brumle found his Oil ATH back in November 2005. It gets particularly interesting when you consider that Brumle dropped a probe whilst he was waiting for his hunting partner to revive and return after taking one too many Hogglo bites.
Nakia would also like it known that the mining tower drills up around 5000 PED worth of Blausarium per day and that she used an OA-103 when dropping the lucky bomb.
So here's a big congratulations to Nakia and her team mates - sometimes miracles do happen when you go looking for them, just not always in the form you expect!

Hey, they're a nice maturity, so maybe I can use your area to capture footage for the "EU Mob Idol Auditions" as well ... thanks for the heads up!
