Well it's that time of year again, time for the MD Awards 2013. Before we get on with this year, I just want to check whether there's anyone still due a medal from any previous years? I know there was a delay last christmas, so I wanted to check if we got everyone. First off with the help, as with previous years, myself and dst will be organising this, and we would again like a third person to assist us. The person should have been around long enough so that they've been to at least one previous MD Awards and therefore know the way it works. Whoever ends up with the position will not be able to be nominated for any category. Naturally you should be around for h…

Title: Christmas Tombola Description: This event is similar to Christmas Santa (Christmas Reindrach) that is being conducted previous years. The main idea is presents exchange between participants. Instructions: If you like giving and getting presents on Christmas – put your name in this thread. After the registration is over we randomly assign names to every participant. Each of you will have to decide on the present you want to give to another unknown person beforehand. Your presents can be creatures, items, coins.

Rules: -There will be 2 people counting votes and organising this. These people will not be able to be nominated, however they are able to vote. These people are myself (dst) and Grido - You may not nominate those who belong to the same land as yourself (this not only means hard-coded, but also those people considered part of certain lands). "This is an MD awards event, if a person deserves one of the awards, it is on the global level, not on local level, however capable the person is, which justifies the ban of the land nominations , possibly votes too". If you note nominations slipping through this, please let Grido or myself know. - There will be a minimum of 3,…

Make your own role: So I got inspired by this topic from Mur: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/14462-worst-thing-about-mur/ Not to write mean things about him, but by some posts people made in the topic. It's being said that he favours certain people and giving them presents (abilities and special features for their role). So how fits my quest in this? Lets imagine that Mur PM'd you saying that he thinks your character is great and needs a bigger purpose in MD. So basically you can define your role and get the abilities you always wanted. If you think this sounds way to easy, then you're probably right. So this comes with an extra challenge. You're not only su…

This quest is to make a personal page that fulfills some specific guidelines below. An example of a personal page that we are looking for is on my personal page here: http://magicduel.com/players/chewett (note this is outdated and havent had time to update it) The quest is so that a number of designs of personal pages can be coded so that people can freely use them. This means that by submitting your code for the competition you agree for me to put it up as a template for others to use. This also means that it should not include personal comments about you or be designed specifically for you (like mine is, and therefore wouldnt do well in the quest), but be general so…

>>- Mur cannot be nominated (sorry Mur), and Rendril cannot be nominated for Top Techy (or another award along the same lines). Why not rendril? Ignoring the fact he isnt active ATM whats the reasoning for not letting him me nominated? >>Adding random people into category as you want Why not just remove the categories that dont have enough nominations rather than adding your friends?

Here we'll discuss the various categories for this year's awards. Copied over from last year, below is the list of previous categories to add, remove and change as consensus dictates. I will strike out any that are decided to be removed from the list. New categories are also encouraged, and will get added to the list if there's no/negligible objections to it and multiple people want it included. This is the purpose of the thread, to come up with a final list of categories, remove and add as you decide, I'll just edit the list every so often. There's currently 13 categories, I would like to try to get it down to 10, if there's more than that when the thread closes the…

Post something MD related you can do/ have done to distract yourself from MD withdrawal symptoms, those with the most humour and ingenuity will get a gift from Ailith ingame for making us all smile I might go into the living room and ask my clueless non MD housemates if they need a heal, and am toying with the idea of torturing them with an MD trivia contest... [edited for typo and clarification]

Every Monday, around 21:00h (server time), I will be at the Marble Dale Park. I am updating my quest papers, which should be done by Monday, introducing few new tasks, dedicated mostly for the players in their first few hundreds of activity days. Some of the quests/challenges that I develop will be 'playable' only during those gatherings. Rewards will be appropriate :) It would be lovely if other people would join in, participate and interact, perhaps create tasks and games of their own every now and then, in the spirit of MD birthday festivals. Marble Dale Park is the place where players end their story mode stasis, so I hope this to be the start of 'newb-stimu…

So after scrapping two quests and one sleepless night, I decided to post the quest I was saving for some other time. THIS IS NOT A HALLOWEEN THEMED QUEST. The task is simple. Write an essay on the concept of Ring of Gyges and it's relationship with online disinhibition effect. With examples in the form of screen shots from forum and in game, elaborate as to how YOU THINK MD game and Forum are effected by the phenomenon of online disinhibition effect and whether you support the theory suggested by Glaucon or Socrates, based on your findings. Also Write about how your findings have inspired you to change/not change your behavior concerning MD. This quest will run ti…

Hello all, at the start of 2013 I had an idea myself to get motivated for fighting. I know that many consider fighting broken and stats no longer important or out of control but anyway here was my idea. I made a screenshot from my stats at the first day of the year and from that day on I made one pic at the end of every day from my daily stats win. At the beginning and end of each month I would take another pic from my stats overall. Now the year is nearly over and I can see where I had the biggest growth or the best day of the year when it comes to gaining stats. I had day and weeks without any fighting at all but sometimes huge gains in the collecting stats sect…
