Contests, Quests and Adventures

This isn't a quest per se, but it fits Murmas This is about a exchange of sorts: doodle a Santa with a certain emotion and receive a letter from the said Santa (done via forum). For example, if you draw a happy Santa, you'll get a happy letter from a Happy Santa. Drawing a drunk Santa will get you...something unintelligible. All letters are personal and unique (btw, drunk is not an emotion, I know, but you'll receive a letter written in a cheerful tone, with lots of mistakes in it) Not really a quest, but you still have to do something to get something. Draw and post in this thread (also, write the emotion underneath it so the right Santa responds) until the 2…

I have talked with Chewett , about a new quest. the discussion were related about a song quest . as you may know in capital of MB, it's a song on the background. I think that will be funny, interesting to have more scenes with the same thing. So to be more specify I've put below a name of a scene and the song that from my point of view are merge perfectly. Please also describe way do you think that these two (song and scene) are merged. Please, for those that love music or for those with imagination, merge another 10 scenes. Maybe the best merge will be voted. (Chewett ?) The prize from my side will be: Joker ID: 872267 Inside the Drachorn Lair …

Alright, let's get into the mood for story-telling with an easy literary quest! It won't work your right side of the brain Task is simple: you choose one of the following poems and turn it Halloween themed by replacing words and (exceptionally) adding lines. Judging will take into consideration: -changing as little as possible but obtaining as much (spooky?) atmosphere as possible -humor or other personal touches that transform the poem into something special -for the long poems, you can stick with only the first 10-12 lines I hope you don't mind having me as judge, since I want to give everyone a shot; I'll be gentle. Deadline is Nov 5th, post …

Oh no! What was meant to be a prop box for developing actors refining their roles, located at the Cafe by the Maple, north of Wind's Sanctuary, has been broken into. Unfortunately, Imps got in and stole everything – items, resources, spell stones, loose change, the works! They were last seen running north from there, before Fyrd banished them to chaos, but the stuff is scattered everywhere! Fortunately, Fyrd is sending location spells after them, so all you have to do is go to the right spot and call them by name. You can keep any item, or return it to Fyrd for a silver coin. In fact, he’ll buy any RP item for 1 sc to restock. The list of items that are mis…

Carve it, paint it, draw a picture of it (and don't forget a tag with your player name and MD). Post it here! Contest open from now through Nov. 15. If there are at least 3 submissions, player with the most upvotes gets a wishpoint!

Expect a special visitor at Fortune’s Well just before Halloween – hope she’ll stay a week (October 30th through November 6th) because she’s bringing us all a Trick-or-Treat adventure! Come by every day (especially at 1700 and 2100) to exchange ghost stories and play games like Hangman and Pass the Stench. There will be a Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) Memorial at Fortune’s Well. Normally November 2nd, but for MD it will be available all during the event week. Check out the Jack-O-Pumpkin decorating contest! Ungod is looking for help guarding the pumpkins at GoE, and it seems to be turning into a game. Mention you're stealing one in chat and se…

I have devised a team sport. Rules below. Let me know if there are enough people interested. I'm not going to code all this unless there are.

So, I'm challenging everybody to a foot race, from the Howling Gate to the GoE. One scene away, you ask? No, you can plot your own course but you must hit the following scenes along the way: Paper Cabin Top of Mt Kelle'tha Ravenhold In front of the MDA building In front of Sage's Keep Inside the Temple of the Void (We're starting at Howling Gate because Necrovion is closed) So, I did it in 14 minutes, 17 seconds. Can you do better? Don't bother posting your screenshot proof with time stamps until you're nominated for a prize - but do save the proof! (You're going to need 8 screenshots). Anything goes - teleport, pickles, friends to beat …

I lurk about a certain website where I gawk at stuff; when something catches my eye, it makes me ponder. I'll be posting here a picture about which I'd be happy to hear your thoughts (thought that can come in various ways - a composition, a drawing, a handmade item). Basically, if what I post here stirs you in some way, you can send me your reaction. Rewards will be based on the effort and insight. This week's image is:

We all do a little jogging, from time to time, for our health. A "sweet spot" is a place you can go back and forth between two scenes WITHOUT HAVING TO MOVE THE MOUSE. Such spots allow you to regain lost VE or recharge your erolins without risking ergonomic injury or eye strain. You can just close your eyes and daydream, while clicking back your health. I will award 1sc to each such sweet-spot first posted here. I already know of two in MDA, but I'll award them if somebody else posts anyway. Help your citizens find theirs for extra accolades!

June 20 all day long, to recognize the fulfillment of spring's promise, and the beginning of summer. Come to the GoE and present -- whatever you want, to honor the occasion. You can present a ceremony, a dance, a literary work, a song, a game, a vaudeville act, or whatever you wish. Use in-chat links to present artwork etc. There will also be minor events and activities all day long. Please join in and host some games yourself - I can't be in the realm all 24 hours. Everything I (or anybody) can capture on the AR, or you post in a reply below (especially for prepared works) will be given time for judging by up-arrows (let's say end of June). (Of course, these a…

Summer is coming, the sun is up in the sky and so is morale... For this quest you have to create a bathing suit for one of your creatures. Not draw, mind you, create. You can use whatever material and technique you wish, the more it is related to the creature you picked the better. One piece, two pieces... Three? Your call. Don't worry, you don't have to wear it, although... ???? Like all creative quests, the picture you take should include a visible MD sign and your name. Please send your submissions to me and Fyrd Argentus via forum PM, the deadline is June 20, 19 server time. On that evening we'll have a nice parade and the best sui…

Moving forward, I will maintain a list of games and activities that may interest MD players. I will ask people to indicate an interest on the forum and then, when there are enough, I will contact them to find a mutually agreeable time. This list will also be maintained in the "game table" clickie at the cafe by The Maple Tree (north of Wind's Sanctuary). Stay tuned.

I have been told I own some items that are far too delicious to not stir envy; therefore, I have decided to get rid of them, because of my fear of the evil eye. This contest has as rewards only common and uncommon RP items, your choice. The aim of this game is to create a structure made of words, with your name at its base; words can be written horizontally or vertically. However, in case they are laid horizontally on 'pillars' of different heights, they may fall diagonally or even in arcs - use this for enhanced effects. There should be no repeated words, save for unavoidable necessity and clever use; there should be no space between the words either, for extra dura…

(this is a warm-up for a player's brain, not something serious like a difficult riddle or cipher) I believe future quests (permanent ones) will also involve some kind of ''fetch me (resource)'' and that resources will matter a bit. As such, there's no harm in making the fetching part make the player work a little with basic mathematical operations learned in primary school. What I need from you is help in creating such demands, demands that we'll insert later in various stages of various quests. Here's an example of such a demand: Of dear, what do I do? I haven’t got the last shipment of 15 units of herbs for this month! Each week we get the same amount, and a th…

Given the recent anniversary I have been but in somewhat of a more social mood. To that end it appears the my other half (the player) is reaching their anniversary and I would like to commission some music to celebrate this event. Not just any music will do, no we require a magicduel related parody of songs that already exist. Example: Janie's got a gunJanie's got a gunHer whole world's come undoneFrom lookin' straight at the sun Instead: Granos' got a gun Granos' got a gun His whole void's come undone From lookin' straight at the Mur Note: This is just an example I am no artist This will be decided by community vote, but for more effort more points …

Okay all you perpetual grinders, on behalf of the role-players, I am challenging you to show that you're not just a bunch of addicts, hanging onto the handle of a slot machine, but rather highly skilled craftsmen (& -women) that are able to put a facet on a diamond or make Grannie a new pair of reading glasses. The first person to accomplish this task wins a prize and the title Precision Grinder. The winner will be the first person to post here a screenshot of their heat scars matching the date of the post, in YYYYMMDD format. Today that would be 20,210,523 heat scars exactly. If you overshoot by 5, you just have to wait 5 days to post it, giving your competitors …

Avatar Trivia Night - May 22, 2021. Two sessions: 1500 and 2200 server time. Location: the Gazebo of Equilibrium. Each session will consist of 3 Parts - guess by clues, identify hand copies, and guess the name of the fossil. The avys used in the two sessions will differ, so you may compete in both sessions if you choose. Part 0 - before the event, hand-draw one avatar of an active player, save it by the "Store-it-Now" system with enough lifetime to last until after the event, and send me the link. Shoot for quality that would allow it to be guessed in exactly 10 tries. Part 1 - I will describe the avy of an active player, giving out clues one at a…

Imagine you're an archaeologist and you're sent to The Valley of Kings...wait, wrong fantasy. Imagine you're in MagicDuel, stage 16 and each stage is like a layer for a passed civilization. Underneath our feet there are 15 other civilizations, each with their own habits and objects. Now, imagine you have a shovel. You dig to one of those layers and find a box. Inside, there are a few items (5-8) that have to do with magic. You take them one by one and try to determine their use. It's fun, because it *looks* so strange. This is the contest, which I intend to keep around for 1-2 weeks. You have to 'create' a box with items specific for a certain stage (5 minimum).…

This is Ungod's sketch of Fyrd in the future, after he's taken over the job of the clerk at the MDA.

Spoiler (reference to a quest) I propose a little game for the weeks to come, done at random times or, if the audience demands of it, at a fixed hour. It's a simple 'guess what he's mimicking' game, but it will always be a saying or a proverb, what is being mimicked. Just like the 'fight the knights' game, each round will have winners, but points will carry over to an overall total, when top three will get creatures (more and more rare). Additional rules: I will mimic the main words of the proverb, each guessed word is worth 5 points, the one who says the proverb first gets a common item of choice as reward* and 5 (or 10 points) carry-over …

In lieu of the upcoming Anniversary, and at the behest of Demonic God, I have decided to make a rather questionable quest. With even more questionable rewards. I am not like most, whether that be for the better or worse, we might never truly know. A book can not be examined until it is done, and it is both my fear and hope that the book of MD never ends. I have, but a simple question. What does the Void, mean to You. I should preface this by explaining something very clearly however. I am not asking for the technical response. Some out there, have ventured into the very Void and back. They know exactly what it truly is. This is not the answer I seek. T…

Thump! went the tomes on the librarian's desk. Behind them, observed the librarian, was a weary woman's glance. "No good?" A brief shake of her head. The nameless librarian adjusted his pince-nez frames and scribbled in the return-log: Returned: An Exhaustive Guide to Remembering Things You Never Knew Memories and Where to Find Them Mastering "Mastering The Void" - An Annotated Study Guide "You know, the Lore Manor and the Archives aren't the only places to find books in the realm; each day, it seems, the shelves of the House of Tainted Times empty just that much more..." Aia placed a silver coin on the librarian's desk; although she hadn't found …

Hello all, I don't have much time to explain everything nicely. Lately my mind has been bending from amount of learning and research available to me, so i'd much welcome your interesting questions about the universe.. If you are sort of a lazy person or not, this is the (seemingly) perfect quest for you to participate. Ask me 1 to 3 questions here on this post. If i like any of them i'll reward 1 silver. I'll also pick 3 winners who will win 2 golds 1 gold and 1/2 gold(silver equivalent) respectively. Not more than 3 per person, or at best i'll ignore the rest. please , + no personal questions, this isn't a truth or dare game, ignore the title. …
