Previous Years MD Birthday threads

And so, I decided to get my hands dirty and make the first hesitant steps into the world of quest making. As an attempt to contribute to the celebrations of the 10th MD Birthday, I have prepared a small treasure hunt. It consists of eleven clues, which are scattered all over the place save the first one that will be posted in this topic in due time. Each clue will point, directly or indirectly, at the location (scene) of the next clue until the last one that will lead to the final treasure. The quest is entirely based on scripted clickables that can be found in No Man's Land, Marind Bell, Loreroot, Golemus, Necrovion, the East and the Archives. It's a race. It may no…

Items are made available to us throughout the game. However, unlike, for example, a regular bucket, which you can fill up time and time again, having only to worry about the bucket’s physical state as degradation kicks in, we instead have to deal with what is known as a "cool-down” period. Unlike a regular pair of dice which can be thrown over and over again until we get bored, ours will suddenly vanish, returning to their point of origin. Why must we wait (or, in some cases, not wait) in order to use an item? Why do certain items return after being used a fixed number of times. The point of this little endeavor is to find a logical explanation to these questions – a re…

We are considering auctioning off 3 birthday aramors on the sunday to raise coin for MD's coffers. This auction would be coin only (plus notes). The highest 3 bids get one aramor each. What do people think? If we run this, I will accept postal bids (aka send me the highest value you would bid on an aramor and I will autobid up in the way auctions do)

A Matter of Perspective From now until the 23rd of April (the last day of the anniversary) I will be running an art contest. The Objective is to imagine yourself standing in an MD location, looking out, then draw what you see. Your vantage point can be from anywhere in the location, however your artwork should include as few landmarks from the location you are actually in as possible. Entries will be judged based on Art Quality, Creativity, and how easy it is to identify the scene you are actually in. Any art style may be used, however you must be able to prove the work is your own and created for this quest (for this reason, hand drawn with a sign is usually be…

MD Traveler's Memory You will be faced with a series of tiles, hiding a scene. You will only be able to flip one tile at a time, for each three seconds. How many tiles will you need to flip to recognize the scene? Once you believe you know the scene, hit the stop button and make your guess - but be careful! You only get one guess - right or wrong, once you make your guess correct you will be given a new scene to try! If you guess wrong you will need to retry but as a penalty your max possible score in the puzzle will decrease. Everytime you want to unlock a puzzle you need to Donate heat at Clash of Ages.

A hat tip to Kafuuka's old torture device contest here, which I so loved. Miss you dude. Design a deadly weapon to destroy your most hated adversaries in the most horrible of ways! Explain in detail how it works and who it was made for, why is your weapon a good fit to kill this/these person/people. Include sketches and diagrams, and if possible pictures of a scale model. A deadly 'weapon' can be just about anything so long as they die in the end Quick and painless, or long a painful, how does your weapon exact and ensure its final result A deadly weapon is a great story - so how does your weapon display flair on the battle field, or give you time to give a …
