Googi's Mining Crusade was the campaign by Googi to change the mining system on Graal2001 to prevent rock stealing. The campaign began with an attempt to get owner tags added to rocks, but later changed to attempting to get a mining system which allowed for the renting of private mining areas.
Owner Tags
In Googi's first post on the Graal Communication Center, Googi created a thread complaining about rock stealing and enquiring as to it's legal status. Soon after, Googi posted the thread that became the central thread of the campaign for owner tags. Although a commanding majority of people voted that rocks should have owner tags, they were never added. Although Alkaren did make rock stealing illegal soon after the thread was posted.
Private Mines
When BirdBird became manager of Graal2001, Googi began to harrass him, as Googi harrassed all managers of Graal2001, to add owner tags to rocks. BirdBird then promised Googi that private mines, called The Endless Mines of Doom, would be created where private caves could be rented by a single person. Googi created such great hype for this that when BirdBird created the underground cave system in Mount Antora people immediately assumed that this was where the private mines would be added and they were dubbed by the players The Endless Mines of Doom. As BirdBird never resisted this they became the de facto name of the caves.
As time passed, however, private mines were not added. As a result, Googi created the scripts and levels required for a private mine system, but BirdBird never uploaded them. Googi's scripts, however, would not have worked even if they had been uploaded. When management passed to Kamuii, Googi continued the campaign, but during this time the server died, and so the campaign died with it.
Miners Inc and the Crusade
When the mining co-op guild Miners Inc was created, Googi at first wrote them off, even comparing them to the miners union in the UK Miners' Strike of 1984-85. After talking with the leader, however, Googi joined for a short time. The guild was never significant in either of the two campaigns, however.
