From the previous contests your mighty force and exquisite killing skills had been seen. This time let your elegance and mercy be witnessed. In short, the target is to beat your opponent with the minimum effort without annihilation (which means only the win fight counts). So the least difference on the lost vitale between you and your opponent wins. Rules: challenge at least 3 opponents. no spells or boosting items. the number on identical creatures is limited up to 2 for mp5, 3 for mp4, 4 for mp3. the ritual must contain 6 creatures. at most 3 creatures (4 for mp3) could be the same for the rituals between you and your opponents. (o…

Today on day of the dead, the deceased wish to be visited. They wish to hear stories from you. They are wondering with no one there to speak to them and keep them enough company. Come to the grave yard and tell your story. The dead will share some of their treasures today for those who tell the best stories. Each will be given a gift from the dead. Pay your visit as many have no awaken. Maybe tell your story to an old friend who lays beneath its soil. 1st place will receive a RG and 5gc 2nd place will receive a RG and 3gc 3rd place will receive 2gc (Should I keep log and post them For others to read later)

I recently found myself telling someone ''Learn from this experience; get in the right state of mind to deal with it, then remember this state of mind and apply it whenever you are in similar circumstances.'' This is, according to Mur, what creatures in MagicDuel are - states of mind to master and use. When you're dealing with kids, for example, you must have a certain approach; when you're going to work, you also 'set' yourself in a certain way (can't say this, can't say that, we smile here, we shout here etc). The task of this quest is to grab 3 MD creatures, explain in a few lines what state of mind (you think) they represent and then give examples where you …

The list of characters in play (+ extras nonexistent ones) will be announced at the start of the game Every participant is required to make 3 statements: One true, one false, and one that can be either, at the start of the game.

I believe this shall be the most daring quest that I ever do create upon these Forums; it may end in utter failure, but it were my hope that it were not so. Among the most mysterious and poorly understood parts of the realm is Inner-Magic - that deemed such by Mur. In time past, there had been many who did possess a fragment of Inner-Magic to share with others of the realm, in reward for quests. I do believe Mur hath further fragments to grant, but this is not a quest that doth arise out of necessity; merely that I have been overly impressed of recent of the realm's brilliance. Thus do I offer this quest this anniversary: Create an Inner-Magic spell document,…

Upon recent events I did find myself within the Dead, with little company, save for the Death Guards, a very kind wookie, and, in curiosity, a shade. This shade did say naught, but did pass to myself a small stone tablet, that which I do exhibit herewith. With time, I believe I did realise of its meaning, and did reveal it to the shade; who then finally did speak, in gratefulness, that it should finally understand of what its sibling did write. Those who message myself the solution upon the Forum shall be in contention for rewards that I have petitioned of Chewett and Ailith - a Wishpoint and anniversary creature for the first to provide its solution, and a second a…

Greetings to all. A brief contest, which shall require of thought, and strategy. Mallos, who doth possess of a special, seven sided die, did inspire myself to create of this contest. I must think that he must ponder upon the optimal distribution of pips upon his die. Entries shall close upon the close of the anniversary, whereby the contest will commence. The contest were as follows: A six-faceted die usually doth possess of a number of pips upon each face; one to six inclusive. However, my challenge to all who participate were to redistribute the number of pips (twenty-one in total) such that the die has the most optimal chance, in an infinite numbe…

For the Anniversary celebrations, Aelis the Sky Scouter did create of two thousand and nineteen Hot-Air Balloons, through those resources which he did scrounge from those new upon the Island of the Gateway. As a seasoned Sky-Scouter, he did plot of their course in a perfect, straight path toward Mur in the East, as a surprise to Mur, with much fanfare; and did launch of all of them from the peak of the mountain upon the Gateway, each following of the previous in perfect synchrony of speed. In coincidence, and mayhap also in response to the many newlings that did complain of the broken balloon upon the Island of the Gateway, Mur did also create of two thousand and ninet…

To start off a new tradition & with the support as well as the wisdom of Aia del Mana (The Moon Whisperer), Mallos (The Tactician), & Sunfire (Emperor of the Free East), i bring you the first of many Battle Parades!

I will release it this Sunday, but I need a collaborator - a neutral party that sees the cards and confirms everything is fair and square. You don't have to do anything. Message me or post here your name if you want to help me.

Since MD has grown yet again, I think it's appropriate to sing a birthday song, right? So go and write one, then post it here! First place will get 10 sc and all other songs that hit the bar get 5 sc. Deadline: end of anniversary. I myself will present a humble song composed on a sunny day, since it has a nice ring to it : Spoiler Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, April's Fool and a foul shoe, Happy birthday to you! You have grown yet again, You have grown yet again, You're a teen with a suntan, Happy birthday to you! You have nothing to fear, Lest we all disappear,…

Hey everyone! This is not really a contest, but I imagine it will please most. Here's what you have to do: Create a playlist with at least 5 songs that, in your opinion, better describe your country's music! You can try picking one from each genre, or simply your favorite ones. Totally up to you! Since we have multiple players from a few countries, it'll be interesting to see the different choices! I'll start (damn this was harder than I thought... I ended up choosing 20 songs ): This here is a bit of the rich Brazilian musical identity. I tried to cover a lot, but I couldn't focus too much on more recent stuff... too many masterpieces…

For a week or so, I will read a Necronomicon spellbook I downloaded from the appstore (it was by accident, I was looking for books; I am a sucker for artwork and this one had cool screenshots) inside Necrovion. A jumplink will be created to a nice quiet place. I'll start it this evening. This is not a quest, so there are no rewards or anything, it is just me reading from it (I've never read such a thing, it should be interesting) and, in case there are people around that are interested, sharing opinions and discussing. Spoiler For those who want to download the app, it is called a Necronomicon spellbook, has an intro, 7 'steps', the 50 names of Mar…

I say 'unlucky', but i hope otherwise. This is a writing contest, in which you shall answer 5 questions with 1-2 paragraphs for each, something like a mini-essay. where to post? Easier to do it here, since i shall publish them here at the end even if you send them to me any requirements? Yes, I want two things: clarity (as opposed to 'mystical') and feeling (inser the 'i' in there, feeling is as important as reason) Rewards? An anniv creature for the best overall submission, teleport to pc, earfocus, mirtorit, sendtogazebo, voice etc spellstones, whatever else of interest i have and you want judge- this is important; you might not want to enter t…

Howdy MD! As it's the anniversary, a time of celebration and commemoration, I'd like for us to take a moment to reflect on things that may have been forgotten by some folks. The premise is simple: I want you to do some research on Land Weapons and send in your findings. For transparency's sake, I plan to make all entries public after judging is complete, but if requested I'm willing to redact parts. So without further ado, here are your research prompts, use as many or few as you like, but I do expect some details from each prompt to be in your submission, even if you don't directly address the question. However, the final two are mandatory. What is a Land Wea…

In a few hours' time I'll give the start for the contest, I am announcing it so you can be prepared (it being a speed contest). The task is to find out 10 MD characters' name, by looking at masks. How so? Each of the masks below is decorated and each decoration has a coresponding letter (from the english alphabet). Once you garher all the letters of a mask, you must form the word. Also, each of the letter has a corresponding mini riddle - example: letter J would be named 'a cane' (all our letters were drawings/ideograms at first, so look attentively). Send the answers via forum pm. This is a speed contest, with the first two who make out all the names getting…

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to announce the third edition of the Mystery Tournament! This tournament isnt like any you have seen before, sign up here to prove your skill in battle. As the name suggests, this tournament has some twists, in this case it means that each round will follow different rules, which will only be made public moments before the round is bound to begin. however a few rules will be the same for all rounds: each round will be a statless competition, meaning no influence (0%) and no tokens, no combo, unless the round's rules state explicitly it is allowed no spells (or any other factor that can alter the fight other…

We invite you to an audition for adventure! Jason, a well-known hero, will set sail for the east, on the lookout for Miroku. (Jason, a handsome, brave, powerful and generally awesome hero, will be played by me. Hm? What do you mean, "MD's population must be really low?") But for the mysterious East he will need on his ship the presence of tge avatars of the seven lucky gods, as a sort of talisman. So he is looking for strong fighters, rich patrons, skilled artists, experienced sailors, cooks, priests and joyful grasans. This is a roleplay event, no preparation needed, just come over and have fun. You will have to make the judges believe you can fulfill your ro…

Apparently, the word 'druid' is related to 'door'; as such, a druid would be either a gate-keeper or one who opens doors...can someone confirm the etymology? If so, the 'keys' would be magic formulae and incantations, and so I got to thinking of compiling a tome of such keys for use in rituals. Such formulas always occult some kind of knowledge. So that's the task. Create magical incantations (it's usually verse, which translates to 'rhytm' more than 'rhyme'). Deadline is 'till next Sunday. If there are enough, we can compile a tome. The selection process will be supervised by Loreroot elders. Each accepted formula will get you silver, while the best ones h…

The title is self-explanatory. Your task is to design an MD warrior hat. The presentation form is up to you - some knit, some do photo manipulation and digital painting, some use paper in quirky ways and some chop a leg, attach it to a frying pan and wear that to work. There is one criteria: would you wear your hat? (You can insert MD's creatures' body parts, Md symbols etc - the frightening, the better...i suppose) The deadline is two weeks from now. The prizes include an anniversary creature for first place (and in case of exceptional ones, for second and third),coins ( 10s for the first and 5 for the second place) and a santa for a random entry (throwing…
