The Archivists

Hello folks! This is an official notice for the introduction of the MDA Treasury! I, Esmerelda, have been interning for the post of Book Keeper in MDA and use this opportunity to announce that the MDA Treasury is open for sponsorship. We have creatures, spell stones, and coins of varying rarity ranging from Horsemen to Death fenth to Lock in Chaos stone available in our ever expanding horde for sponsorship. We shall be sponsoring not only quest requests but also work related to MDA, helping with MDA related projects, MDNP related work and other stuff of similar sorts. Preference shall always be given to anything associated with MDA above others. But everyone is free to ap…

I am currently forming a list of all players with roles - this includes any person with a tag and description - as an Archive document. Summoning tags (Death Guard, Silvan Watch, etc) are included. The information needed is the following: Tag Tag Description Tag Expiry date Reason for obtaining role/tag. If you are able and willing to help with this, please send the information in the following format: Details may be sent privately, through pm, or posted here in this thread. All help is great appreciated.

The below is copied from a recent post in the MDA Closed Forum;

Over the last few weeks the Alliance has allowed Aethon to step into the top loyalty position for the Archivists. After observation and consideration, the decision has been made to offer Aethon the chance to formally run the Alliance. I would like to be the first in the realm to formally welcome Aethon as Alliance Leader to the Archivists. I am excited and intrigued, as I am sure we all are, to see what sort of leader Aethon will turn out to be, and what sort of Alliance he will lead in the coming months. Please join me in welcoming Aethon into his new position, may it be a long lasting one.

I was not sure where else to put this, so I put it here. I don't know if I am just paranoid, or if I am simply over rationalizing everything, but, I am worried about my land. It may be needless worrying, but none the less, I believe it is warranted. Overall, MDA has only 4 active members. Fyrd Argentus, Curiose, Rendril Revant, And Kyphis. Innocence isn't all that active any more. Other members have gone away. Is this the first sign of a decaying land? I certainly think it is. In the past, MDA used to have a lot of factions and guilds/alliances of which many people have been part of. Most of which have died off. From the list: [s]The Crafters[/s]-Moved to Lorero…

Not sure if this is the best place for it, but here goes. I've always donated WP codes for quests run by people in the archives. While the kings get WPs for the benefit of their lands, I feel its important to give some to the running of quests from lands with no monarch. Given that Loreroot citizens can potentially win or have fun participating in these quests, I feel that it holds true to benefiting the land and happily MD in general. To this end, I'd like to do something different this year. Rather than people approaching me piecemeal, I'd prefer to give small bundles to WP codes to someone in charge that can then use them as quests arise. So, could someone in the ar…

Since pample’s departure, the position of master archivist has been open and our guild seems to have lost some purpose, I don’t know if the members of the guild have noticed this but I know some people outside the archivists I’ve talked to have. That’s why I would like to put myself forward for the position and I recommend anyone else who wants to do so does the same, then we can put a vote on the forum or see if mur would be interested in making an election for us. I propose that whoever is elected to the position should do all they can to revive the archivists and restore their former glory, we are a writers guild, and as such we should write! Now on to my persona…

Fyrd Argentus has brought to my attention the difficulties he has faced in getting Wishpoints to reward for his quests. While he has been able to get them from three of the kings, which he is grateful for, it has been a struggle to do so. The MDA Typically recruits the more creative members of the realm. However, with the situation as is, many who may otherwise join are reluctant to do so. The inability to get support from the four mainlands kings for quest rewards, a major creative outlet and method of giving back to the realm, prevents a lot of people I have attempted to recruit from considering joining. While the MDA is not a mainland, it's work is focused on the w…

To Everyone, It seems we have forgotten the more recent legends of this world. Just because some didnt Roleplay, Does not mean they did not do good for MD. I may even go as far to say that some people who didnt roleplay did more for MD that a couple asterixes and words (yes i know im just asking for as much spam as possible on this anti RP sentence) But, today my focus is on this gross injustice, Jonn. It seems like no one but me is willing to speak up for him, It seems everyone has forgotten what he did. This is a sad day indeed because Jonn was much more than Just the LHO leader. Jonn sorted out any problems in the realm, if you needed advice or help you could g…

So, because I have no more memorials left to write on my list, I am opening this topic to ask. "Who do you think deserves a memorial written about them, so as to preserve their legacy?" The requirements for the person are: 1. Have to be inactive for a relatively long period, or have left the game. 2. Have to have done real things. No stories. I will not write a memorial about a fictional character like Hollowed Zenith. That's all. Awi

Here is the first of the memorials. I have a [i]long[/i] list of people to do, and when I'm done I'll compile them all and put them in game. More information on that to follow. Please fact check, spell check, grammar check, or just tell me what you think. Thank you Awi -------------------- Deetn During the early periods of Magic Duel, when all the land fought each other and there were no training fights or dojos, one warrior struggled to become the strongest, the best, and for a time he succeeded. Deetn was this man, one of the first truly great warriors to master rituals and creatures. Whenever a new creature was discovered in the land, Deetn …

[center]The time has come to talk of many things, Of Gates and Ships and Drachorn Lairs, Of Willow's Shop and Kings, And why Park is filled with Marble, And whether Mur's have wings. [/center] The Archivists would like to bring back the age-old tradition of story telling in this Realm. Stories help us do many things: learn, come together as a group, share experiences and feel a sense of community. The Archivists would like to extend the invitation to those with creativity, passion and a desire to bring mirth to the Realm. [b]Story Night[/b] will be held every Monday evening at 4:00 server time at Fortune's Well. Just a few guidlines to help you: [list] …

To accommodate as many people as possible I would like people to vote on which days would be best for them for Story Night. Please let me know.

The Archives, and MagicDuel as a whole, are in a time of transition. As we leave the Era of Alpha 8 we all must evolve towards a common goal, or we become trapped and stagnant. I cannot say what the Era of Alpha 9 will bring, but I can set forth my goals for myself, the Archivists and Archives. [list] [*]First of all, it has made it clear that [b]we[/b] are the ones who make history; you, me, the older player training at GOE, the newer player taking their first steps out of paper cabin, everyone. However, I feel that this opportunity is not being taken advantage of properly. And I am no exception, I do not drive a storyline nor RP as much as I should (or would like to…

Well, it appears War is on the horizon. The Archivists are a neutral guild, not a combative faction. To me, neutrality is neither sympathetic nor in opposition to its subject: it neither endorses nor discourages viewpoints. Being neutral is a point of view that not everyone will share, but it is just that: it is our point of view, not the absence or elimination of anothers point of view. While personally, as individuals, we may feel strongly about about the events or persons in this war, we, as an Alliance, will remain fair and balanced in our representation of the facts and our treatment of records. I have no doubt that all Archivists will exercise good jud…

Greetings again MDans. As I'm sure many of you have seen in the announcements, the [url="http://md-archives.com"]Archives[/url] are more or less up. Who can be an author is still very strict though. Those of you who wish to make some additions to the Archives, please post here what you want to write about, and what sort of things you have knowledge/experience in. (Hopefully the two coincide. [b]Please do not try and sign yourself up for the Archives without talking to me first. Chances are, I'll just disapprove your membership.[/b] ^ bolded because no one seems to notice it. If you have questions, feel free to ask. At a later time, I will have an appointed Arc…

I'm now working very hard at getting the Archives completely up and running, but it's taking a lot of effort. I need writers and editors to start finding an Archivist in the game, most likely Logan Marquis, and applying to help out. I can also be PMed. I don't just need writers, though. What I need most are people who are studying something, and keeping track of what they've discovered. The Archives will host many things that pertain both to MD and the real world, so scholars that have something to say, by all means: say it! Let us know what's going on out there. We need articles explaining the basics of biology, chemistry, mythology, philosophy, history; YOU NAME…

The Archivists Leader Pamplemousse Members Innocence .Gargant. *Je Suis Oeufs Fous* *Kragel* Kouros ------------------------ The Archivists are collectors of information. We form a Guild, not a combative alliance faction. In due time, it is our goal to fill the MD Archives as well as many other things. We recently took charge of the AL, and hope to have it running smoothly soon. But, we're still in the early stages of learning how to do that, so please bear with us for now. Remember, your role in the world dictates what you can and cannot do. If you find your way to the bad side of one of the Archivists, and stay there, you'll be denied access to all of …
