MD Birthday Contests

I hope all who are able have taken of some time to visit the scenery new to the realm (although one could assume these were once lost, given their appearance). A simple task, then - draw a simple map of the new scenes, and present them here. There should be two such maps - those with coordinates beginning with 9_ and those with coordinates beginning with 5_. Consider that artistic nature is not part of the criteria for judgment - one rather prefers accurate placement and proportionality, similar to how one would expect in a map of other lands. Twenty five such scenes do exist, and Mur has announced the prize will be a single custom scene of one's desire, with th…

Greetings to all. As quests for the anniversary oft do take time to prepare, I shall speak of this one presently, such that more may prepare for this contest ahead of time. The first quest is Of Heads. I believe there to be some circulating number presently, and some may yet lie within gifts of bounty. The contest were simple: Provide a screenshot of thyself (and post it within this thread) passing me a large number of heads. This should be posted in this thread as soon as the exchange doth occur. The largest number given to me in a single passing before the *beginning* of the anniversary in one passing will win a coloured (non-anniversary) …

I will endeavor to host at least one Improv Literary Session at either Fortune's Well or GoE at some time(s) announced each day of the anniversary - and could pop up any place or time if a crowd gathers. Depending on how many people wish to play, I will offer some sort of literary competition, ranging from Hangman to Competitive Tale Spinning to Role=Play to group story telling to themed punning to improv poetry. Winner of each such session will get 1 point for each opponent "vanquished". Best total for the 19 days of the anniversary will get a wishpoint - other prizes will be awarded at my discretion (maybe more wp's if enough participate). In addition, anyone ma…

Usually we end the birthday season with awarding of trophies etc. for worthy characters - if there are any such, of course. Please use this thread to nominate anybody you think worthy, and say a few words why you think they deserve said award. Don't be constrained by the many past awards given out in the past (fossil, vet, mechanic, RP, etc.) - do be creative and see what happens! p.s. This is not a contest per se, and I'm not in control of the results. I'm just trying to get things rolling here.

In this quest, I want you to look for people, use the /seen command (for example /seen jakubhi). Your task is to find 5 players who have been active a very long time ago. Each player needs to have 30+ active days. (to check this, you may use the /whois command). Scoring - I am going to take the sum of the dates of your 5 players when they were active. The entry with the lowest total of the five people wins ! Example: Person 1 - Last time was active around day 167 of year 17 ( 17 * 365 + 167) Person 2 - Last time was active around day 100 of year 15 (15 * 365 + 100) Person 3 - .. Person 4 - .. Person 5 - .. Total ( ( 17 * 365…

Hello all this is a quest so that all may play. Below you will find a Caesar cipher and your task is to figure out the encoded message. This one I tried to make it hard so that all have a chance. ( I may do multiple but it will depend on how fast this one is solved first) Below is the Cipher 👇 . . Lwvivzl ivykpun aol ilpun huk aolyl pz hukpu, aoha fvbvu pz pun huk vhjaly, aoha zftivs pz pun huk svwly, aoha tvyl pz pun aol zvtl. . . HOW TO SOLVE: To solve this cipher, you can use frequency analysis, which involves analyzing the frequency of letters in the ciphertext and comparing it to the frequency of letters in the Engli…

I decided to go check on my dear friend MaGoHi as I was deeply concerned at the lack of a cooking quest this year. Imagine my shock and dismay when I find our brave Bacon Knight face down, motionless, in a pool of his own bacon puns. One note in particular caught my eye, however. It read... "Ledah my dearest and most noble of friends I know you will come here eventually seeking your anniversary quest, however I am currently somewhat indisposed. On my travels I came across a bacon pun so hilarious it has left me in this vegetative state. However, I know there is someone in this realm who will be able to cook me a fine meal, one that will break this curse and revive me…

Hello all I will be holding a riddle event. It will be held every day of the Anni and as each day passes the riddles will get harder. Rules and scoring are like so...... Rules) A round will start when the riddle is spoken. A round will end when a player answers correctly to the riddle. The player who guesses correctly in the round can not guess in the next round, but can guess in the round after. ( Basically skip 1 turn. This is to give others a chance also) The event will go on for maybe 1 hour each day of the Anni. Times can go over or be less based on participation. Scoring) If a player correctly answers the riddle they gain 1 p…

Somebody dressed up a knator with big ears and a cotton-ball tail, and trained him to take around Easter eggs. He emerges from his hiding place at the top of the hour and takes a specific route, dropping an egg a minute until restarting the circuit (he zips through the labyrinth in a flash and jumps walls, but avoids indoors and scary places like NC). Spot the knator’s nests to get eggs. Spot The Easter Knator himself and get better ones! ________________________________________ Length: April 15 (anniversary festival day 2) for one week Difficulty: Easy to get a few eggs, harder to track the knator to all sites. Starting Location: Get daily basket @…

Here I do make an announcement, although it were past the final day of the Anniversary; I did not wish for aught to miss out on the realm's celebrations, and so, this hath been delayed until the present. There now exists an additional, unseen creature within the realm. The only one which will exist, should Ledah accept this wager, will be within his possession. This creature is able to perform that which no creature thus far has been able to do. The conditions of this wager are as follows: 1. As long as Ledah remains alive, I will not create any further creatures of this kind. 2. Once Ledah is dead, I will grant a maximum of one of each of these creatures…

As is customary, here shall mark the commencement of this year's contest of memes. As usual, other than this post, - Each meme should be posted in its own post - One meme per post (memes quoted from other posts in a reply do not count toward this total) - One post per meme - Each meme will receive one point per reaction of any kind (likes, dislikes, and other reactions all add 1 to the total score of the post) - The final score of each meme will be determined at the close of the Anniversary - Participants may submit as many memes as they would like, provided each meme were within its own post - The final score of each participant will be the score of thei…

On the 12th day of the Anniversary I will be hosting the Revived Memories event at the Great Hall of the Sun, from 11:30 to 15:00 game time. Players will be invited to share their fondest memories of their time in the realm. Understanding people have other commitments and can't be on MD all the time, you can ask a proxy to recount your story. At the conclusion of the event the log will be taken and posted in this thread. Individual stories will be posted as separate replies to this topic and the community will be invited to vote on which stories they feel are the best (Only upvotes will be counted). At the end of Day 15 the votes will be counted and recorded. …

Recently I was approached by a conglomerate of Shades. They seemed uncomfortable to see people inside Necrovion. I tried to explain the terms of our agreement: sacrificing a personal item gets one to stay one week. Although eager (so to speak) to get personal effects, they didn't seem to get the concept of "week"... So, I'm afraid I need your help here: how would you explain Shades what a week is? Your submission can be written, sketched or whatever you wish, just keep in mind it should be understandable to them. Please post it in this thread before Saturday 30 April - 23.59 s.t. Submissions will be judged by a shade ambassador who'll …

I'd like to welcome you all to this fine day, one that grows ever closer to MagicDuels 17th birthday (they grow up so fast ;3;) This time around, I'm thinking it's only fair to pay our respects to those we miss, those that are gone, but never forgotten. This quest is simple. To be fair, all my quests are. That's their entire point, quests everyone can do from day 1 to day 1000. All i ask is for the following. Write a Document, in any format you prefer, that pays respect, pays homage to a Soul that affected you among the most throughout the years. I will also be writing my own Document for this, but my application will be made purely out of respect, as…

This quest is simple, but also hard as it requires some introspection. Think back to a challenge you faced in the past, you don't need to tell us what it was. What I would like to know (posted here publicly or via PM) is that once you had overcome that challenge (or failed to overcome it) what did you learn about yourself. In addition, is there any advice you could give someone about overcoming a challenge they may face? You don't need to tell us what the challenge was (as some may be personal) but thinking and learning about oneself is always important. If you would prefer to keep your experience private, feel free to PM it to me or someone else and you ca…

Queen Aia, and King Chewett and Miq request members of MagicDuel to keep an eye out for strange pools of mist forming around the realm. These resources appear to be forming after rains of plushies and it is concerning us. We will be giving 5 plushies to the first person to post here telling us if a new location has gained Strange Mist (A new resource) or if the location's mist has increased! We believe that these mist locations are currently only appearing in Marind Bell, GG, and Loreroot so focus your attention there! The mist that we first observed seems to have disspated but we have found some more forming in Underway Crosspaths for those that have not seen i…

As the Strange Mist started to fill up some locations Chewett, Aia and Miq returned to discuss what could be done about it. It currently did not seem to be doing any harm but its sudden appearance, alongside raining plushies was concerning. In the event the mist turned out to have negative effects, a discussion was had about the best way to remove it, or capture and study it. We decided to open up this problem to the engineers and mad scientists of MagicDuel. We are looking for a device that could either capture, or remove the strange mist from a scene. For this quest please: Describe how your device works (4 scoring points available, a short descri…

Yes, it’s that time again after so, so long. But it’s not a freshly made Treasure Hunt. Going down memOry lane, I decided to bring back one of my older Treasure Hunts. It’s a quest full of self-sarcasm, annoying NPCs, frustr- erm, I mean fun tasks and painf- eh, intricate puzzles and, of course, it has a treasure at the end. It does, doesn’t it? Hmm, anyway… It’s an MDScript based quest that uses clickables scattered around No Man’s Land, Marind Bell, Loreroot, Golemus, the Archives and the East. It’s also a race. The player that completes the quest in the least amount of time is the winner. Starting times only matter in case of a tie; the player that has begun the q…
