Contests, Quests and Adventures

This quest is about a change that you personally want. Describe in 200 words or less something that would improve your MD by changing it in some way. This item must be something code/organisational related which must also take less than 8 hours to implement (judged by me). Voting will be done half by forum reputation (negatives dont count) and half by my own personal opinion. Note, ideas which I have personally postulated to you wont be eligible (considering I have already planned/considered them) If you are reiterating someone elses ideas it needs to be significantly different to count as a new idea. Rewards: The winners idea will be implemented in MD in t…

Roll up, roll up! Welcome to a new series of quests, made to frustrate and test your skills in various areas of expertise! Each month I will be unveiling a new quest with different rewards and prizes, some will be small and some will be large, but all will be just as annoying (or fun, for some) as the last! To view the current month's, active quest in more detail, simply go to the GoE and tell the lower right tile to "Puzzle me!", then simply follow the steps from there! But, to kick things off, the first quest shall be... *drum roll..* 'A puzzle or four!' Description: Four puzzles have been placed in various locations in the realm. Us…

It's Christmas time and the exchange of presents is one of the core aspects of celebrating it. In the above spirit, I have made a small clickable quest for this holiday. All you need to do is visit Loreroot Hidden Exit and ask for your Christmas present. It's that simple. Well, not really. You will need to do a little work before getting you present, because something seems to have gone terribly wrong. The clickables involved in this quest are scattered around No Man's Land, Marind Bell, Loreroot, Golemus, MD Archives and the Lands of the East. The player who finishes the quest in the least amount of time wins. Starting time only matters in case…

This quest is built of 3 parts. The first person to complete part 1 will cause the reveal of part 2 to everyone when/if they complete part 2. Same with part 3. Part 1: Build a spider web. Part 2 revealed by Faceless: Capture an image of a real spider on your web. You can build it out of any materials you like. No drawings, only builds.

Here begins the discussion of any rules for the contest. During this period all and any rules may be discussed privately and publicly with myself. I am looking for an artist to draw the medals if anyone is willing,compensation including pretty much whatever you want will be offered.

Hullo. I'd like us to work on a quest, a weird one, 'cuz hey! it's for Halloween. This is about creating a monster out of a fear, in an atempt to give it a face.

So, for this year's Halloween, I have designed a Trivia. MD related trivia. How: If you want to participate, PM me so I can give you a registration code and the instructions. When: Trivia will activate on the 24th of Oct at 00:00 and will last until 30th of Oct 23:59. So you have about 1 week to complete it. Additional notes: Trivia is hosted on a different site.

The score is automated but I can check your answers if you feel something is wrong. Prizes: 1st Place - Elu (no idea if colored or black...yet) Alternatively - 1 Shms…

Greetings Magic Duellers, for this year's Halloween I'm willing to organize a spellcasters tournament, open to everybody. Contestants are required to set nice spell-words for their favorite spells (MD spells - either regenerable or spell stones). Each contestant will "battle" against another - direct elimination - using one cast of one spell of their choice. In each battle, 2 judges will rate your magic arts under these criteria: 1- how fancy/inspiring/evocative your spell words are; 2- how appropriate your spell words are to the actual spell; (e.g., "may the fleas of a 1000 camels infest your armpits" might be appropriate for a "…

The all hallows night is almost upon us, and it's time to get you cauldron at the ready! This is a 3 stage quest and all stages should be completed to be eligible for any winning position. Part 1: Create your own version of Shakespeare's "3 Witches" cauldron scene. Part 2: Name and describe the created potion. Part 3: Create a cauldron! Notes: The ingredients and chosen "Three Witches" should all be MD based (though a little slack for wording is allowed here and there). The connection to Witch>Wording>Ingredients will mean a better score at the end. Humour and/or things/mixtures that are disgusting will mean a better scor…
