Let me be clear here, so that you do not slander my name further. I am the LHO manager, I am in charge of the LHOs. If I wanted to demote an LHO, I do not need a reason, people might object, but it would be accepted. There is no reason for me to jail someone as an excuse for removing their wings, as no excuse is needed. As for not responding to your messages afterwards, we have since spoken regarding this. If anyone has an issue with my actions in any capacity I assume, they are more than welcome to message those above me regarding (currently Chewett or Mur) --- Actually, to be fair, at this point I'd likely just ask you not to - completely depends where you d…

I haven't been fully "around" for some years, I admit. And to some, I know there will be the obvious chatter of rebuttal regarding my absence, as is expectant of their ways. Now... With that preface, I'm going to do some explaining like, at least, on my end why I've only bothered to poke my head around every now and then. MD is MD. There is no other way to truly describe it. I refuse, essentially, to really call it a game, in all honesty. Maybe a collaboration of creative minds infused with the sciences, particularly philosophy (even somewhat diluted in its usage). It makes no sense, truly, to call it a game (for me). And because of that, I kind of feel that …

Here is the chat log from the discussion held on day 52 year 10 at the GoE. [log=Chat log] [21/02/15 22:14] Chewett:As some of you may know, we have planned to modify the tutorial [21/02/15 22:14] Chewett:This forms part of the A25 work [21/02/15 22:14] Chewett:Now, to modify this, we shall be removing all of story mode [21/02/15 22:14] Chewett:Story mode forms the basis of much of our lore, sadly this lore is not all correct [21/02/15 22:14] Chewett:It has been announced for a while, that you should not treat story mode as canon (aka true) [21/02/15 22:15] Chewett:This is a needed step to create the new A25 tutorial [21/02/15 22:16] Chewett:We are looking to r…

Ann 3125 asks us to discuss on the forum any case where we think multiple tags are applicable but not yet applied. I figure I might as well get the ball rollin': Before becoming an MDA Land Leader I spent three years working to earn my role tag as Chronicler. While I am not overly likely to use the tag while I have the MDA Land Leader tag, I would still like to have it registered to my account, so that I can make that choice. Information is as follows:

Since I hope to commission someone for a custom avatar (and if not that, attempt to draw my own rudimentary avatar) I'd like to give away my two avatars to one or more homes since, having cycled through 5 or so shop avatars, I've never gotten too attached to any one of them. Please post either why one of the avatars fits you, or why you wish to keep it (for example, if you used it lots in the past).

On day 64, year 10, at the Hall of the Sun Balcony I held a little "experiment". The results are quite outstanding. I asked one question: What do you see "fortune" as and how has it affected you? From this stemmed many different ideas on the perception of fortune and how it effected us as people. Two of the most common ideas, however, were that a) fortune is good - few seemed to instantly recognise that fortune is inherently neutral - which brings us to b) that the nature of good and bad fortune comes from the perception of the beholder. This latter idea is very true. What I might consider lucky to have another may consider the 'norm' or not lucky at all! …

Such a topic, I think, is needed, and so I'm creating it now. (don't say I never did anything for the community:p) Sometimes you happen to get angry or frustrated with people. It's understandable. Perhaps your reasons are horribly wrong, but even so, we all share these feelings. It might even happen while playing MagicDuel and you might want to kill every player here, if not only a specific one. The following is a tutorial on how to control than anger in a positive way. What is wrong with getting angry and showing that anger in MD? Well, first of all, nothing good will come out of it. A temporary relief? Yes, the key word is "temporary". After venting that frustra…

An ordinary non-mod forum member does not have upload from file option! This is the first uploading interface I have seen that doesn't have this option. Moreover, even if you do provide a URL, it will reject it, saying "max size is 500kb" even though your image size is 10kb. This needs fixing, please... (yeah I lost my forum avy too)

I restricted access from Russia, China and Ukraine...imminent danger ahead :P If any of you suddenly can't see md anymore, let me know If any of you is from one of these countries, and can still access md, also let me know Thnx

Split from a bug report (http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/16295-incorrect-cant-recruit-while-in-tc-message-when-dead/) ~B Indeed. This confirms that the bug is only for the dead. However.... is the above intended in the first place? Should you be allowed to recruit a creature from a WP-access place if you can access it through other means, without spending a WP? In other words, should the WP access be a pre-requisite for recruiting (not buying) a TS or not? It currently isn't.

I was asked to make this post by someone else who can't, hence the strange title.

I was wondering ..how was md before stage 12 and how is it now near to the end of this stage. Looking forward to hear your opinions, announcements review, etc. Some major things happend in md during this stage, things that changed it totally...it would be nice to see how you consider them, and what you consider to be biggest progress (some things might be unannounced? idk) Thanks

What do people see as "the point" for stages? To me, I dont see that they affect anyone really, they are a name to which we attach announcements. Its all well and good arguing whether we have moved to "the next stage" as a point of intellectual debate since we like arguments. But whats the point? Surely, if you want it as a "unit of advancement" then every announcement made, every ruling decided, and every offensive comment Dick Dastardly makes, is an advancement in MD?

Ave, You get 40 credits for head-contest (yeah i know it's not happening atm). 15 credits for finding or faking a new player. Yet for one WP just 8 credits? So considering the value of WP and that there is only one i'd suggest 80 or maybe 160 credits. Miq Edit: formatting.

I have currently confirmed 17 types of creature totems. Please feel free to add any other types of creature totems but they must have been created to count as "confirmed". Angien Aramor Archer Barren Soul Bird Creature Drachorn Elemental Grasan Joker Knator Mechanical Plant Shade Snowman Tormented Soul Water Being

All the accounts (regardless if they are still active or not) currently over the 1k credits count: Akasha BigC Shoeps MRG Eon Zleiphneir Ailith Mystic Kyphis Dayredeemer Handy Pockets *Shemhazaj* sasha lilias Yoshi Nava Azull Both current and spent credits were counted. Credits mean md credits not just payments. For example a subscription means a lot more credits than fixed payments. Free credits, gift credits, rewards, all count to the same amount too. The items in this shop will be emailed to all of these people one by one and based one. The list will also be made public. For the start there is a limit of one spent credits shop item per player. The …

What are they? Revival Token - These will allow the receiver to request one revival, either for themselves or another. The receiver will need to provide a gold piece as an offering, however. This could be used to promote active fundraising and donations to help revive a player, should the receiver not have the coin themselves. Free Revival Token - As the name suggests, this will be very much the same as the normal revival token, but the gold coin shall be provided. This could be particularly useful for personal use and for a quick revive. How can I get one? Revival tokens will be available through my quests, lottery prizes, awards and as random "gift…

Imo that is the WORST "feature" of MD. Everybody is so hush hush and secretive about their research and proud that they "research" stuff. But except very few people that make their research public, everybody else keeps the research under tons of locks but they do brag that they are "into research". Bleah..

http://magicduel.com/page/Announcement/view/3294 How come it's bug and how exactly can it be "abused"? How come it was known by all and passed on from player to player and nothing was done about it before or ever reported as such or ever before acknowledged as bug by devs? Extremely large chunk of community always saw it as undocumented feature. In fact how is one to think of it as bug when as new player people get told of it by kings and LHOs. I don't see what's bad about being able to see content of past clickies? Chew, please tell us, why shouldn't it be there? How does it go against the game, "MD ways" or how ever you call it? How is it harmful for …

From http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/16098-mp3-erolin-heat-checker/ Why is it a waste of time to fix such things? If such bugs are commonly known and abused, say, 50% of active MDers know them, then you seem to be saying it's better to give 50% of people an advantage because they know certain things than it is to let all active MDers know these things equally. I wouldn't say that the people who know of the bugs 'deserve it' more than others. For example, the clicky bug might have been told by LHOs to people asking how to use clickies, or by close friends, or by people posting things in the game chat, etc. When I asked how to use and edit clickies, I was to…

Mp6 proves to be a stage that is far from being flooded with people and those that got to it look to me as very worthy of it. Do you think mp6 should get more powerful abilities? Or will this tempt people to do "anything" to reach it, forgetting about mp6 stage name (protector) if you think yes, say in one line what this stage should get more. If you think no, say in one line why not. Please pick only one of the things you have to say about this subject so i can read and evaluate all your answers. I will ignore elaborated answers.

I wander around daily, silently watching resources and those gathering them. On each of these days I see a "usual culprit" depleting resources. This baffles me as I think to myself "Why do it?" Firstly let's look at a few announcements: [spoiler]Ann. 1923 - [2011-07-12 23:29:56 - Stage 10] - Permalink - Resource regeneration delay when depleted Resources will have a regeneration period if they drop to zero. During this period they will grow by fractions and you won't be able to gather them till they reach at least one full resource point. This means that whenever a location gets completely deplete of a resource, it will take about 3 days for that resource to sta…

This is my personal view on illusions and how they should work within MD. [hr] Basic - MP4 - The most simplistic definition of an illusion I can think of: implementing the unreal within the real. Four principles should be at the base of this ability: [log="1. Element"]There are many ways in which one can classify the consequence of every action or every personality. If we were to separate the world in basic elements, we could say that there are four fundamental elements: Earth, Water, Fire and Wind. Every identity of an action (since actions do have their own identity), of an object or of a person can be seen as being made of these fundamental elements. Pure combination…

Here are a few rules that I've followed in regards to Change and myself. (Both of us are quite similar if you haven't guessed). Yes, this is written with a certain exaggerated persona on (that is, a personality that isn't mine, or Change's). Think Effie Trinket, or some other Victorian. 1. Always lie without lying. Why reveal the 'darker'/deeper side of yourself when no one cares? Sure, you've figured lots of it out, but no one has to know that. You've shown parts of that part in the past before, haven't you? Guess what? No one cared! They got incredibly confused and had no idea what you were saying. Better to give them the part that they can understand. Let them thin…
