[2010-11-29 00:04:03 - Stage 10] [quote]Manda: GG Drach will be confiscated due to this being the second offence relating to this matter. Will have 2 weeks in Jail.[/quote] Two weeks from Nov. 29 was Dec. 13, that was five days ago; and judging from his mood panel posts, he's still in jail. Am I missing something?

^ I think a significant thing is that MD does not have the mechanics one would normally first think upon to try and use to cause havoc- we cannot raid a place, we cannot kill anyone, we cannot destroy structures, we cannot set up destructive structures to cause damage to opposition, etc. Basically, we can sit around, plan, foment, and complain at the gates and that's about it. I know one person had an idea to leak liquid dust about no man's land simply to cause havoc, but how would that be done outside of roleplay that a handful of people may or may not see or even take seriously? Such a thing would not even be reflected in the landscape without Mur deciding to do it if h…

@Sparr, personally i don't like the insinuation that LHOs are such for personal benefit, and to assume that a non-LHO player does it for no benefit, is, to say the least, silly (nothing against you Tarq), players do like gaining adepts you know? But then that is my opinion, and you have yours. EDIT: removed the MD Awards list, cos no reason for it to be in this bit. Also, for clarity, as Amoran asked about it, the reference to Tarq is purely that Sparr nominated him, i stated "nothing against" him as i didn't want to imply that Tarq was doing it for the reasons (or other) listed.

I haven't tested this yet myself, but I never saw anywhere that alts cannot be Rebels. I think this is a big concern, because somebody could create a lot of new accounts, join a land for a month, and then switch to Rebels. On a personal note, this is making me paranoid about letting any new players in, and that can't be good for my Land or the new players themselves. I propose only the oldest active account be allowed to Rebel.

I got the idea while having a conversation with our resident talking tree, Awiiya that while we are going to have a tree in the gazebo, why not get a bunch of people together and decorate the two most well known trees of MD namely Awiiya and Bob. I'm pretty sure Awiiya would enjoy the fun and Bobs been a tad neglected since coming back to life since the last time someone tried to chop him down. For Bob , I think it'd be good if we could gather around at some time when Z is awake so he can be part of it and of course it'd be great if we could get lots of people gathered when Awiiyas awake. Someone will need to bring the tinsel and someone else can gather some light…

I think that it would be a good idea to have ONE location in the realm where we can still attack in days of tranquility. Like Marble Dale for instance. I do get the point of these days, BUT some of use are fighting characters and have little to do on the 12th and 24th. What do you think?

I was planning to do this directly, but by making it a council request I allow it a second thought and maybe a variation of the rules its based on. Council can change it or deny it, as it thinks fit. Players can share their opinion here, maybe detailing points of view i missed. I am requesting Council to consider [b]removing all wishpoints given without a declared reason[/b], on all periods. Whoever doesn't care to write at least a formal reason for wp reason doesn't deserve to waste our time in checking validity of that wp. It should count as missing wishpoint anything too general like: - blank - filling spaces or characters - things like "quest" or "nice" or "s…

Maybe you know a way to check the loyalty of a non-allied player before you invite them into an alliance - just in case they might have enough loyalty to take over the leadership slot. Maybe you don't. I didn't, so I set up a clickie for this purpose. If you are concerned, ask your candidate to go to the special tile to the west of the Fountain of the Lost Path (MDA garden) and click on this "Loyalty Touchstone". (Password: Look) Then you can get a third party confirmation of their claimed loyalty score. That is, if you trust ME...

Gifts! Christmas Gifts, to be exact. Since I am a fairly poor player and don't have much to my name, I thought to do more for the community by doing odd "jobs" here and there for people in exchange of gifts that I will be giving people for Christmas. I don't really know what MD would consider credentials for jobs, but I can do pretty much anything and everything that I'm asked to. However, I do take my work seriously and I appreciate it if people don't jip me of the exchange for gifts. If you don't like what I am doing, then you can fire me and I'm sure I can find someone else. There are a few things that I absolutely will not do which include: -Things I consider d…

Hello everyone. I have made a grave mistake. In attempt to add an avatar to my vault, i ended up added the one that i have had for nearly my entire existence in MD back to the shop. I am asking for help in getting it back to me. I WILL pay handsomely for it. So please help. I wish that i had a picture of it but i don't. For you old timers: you all know it as Renavoids old avatar. For those that don't know it or me here is a description: its first generation resembles Jesus Christ Head bowed arms extended out legs together appears to be floating NO color on it what so ever. PLEASE help me retrieve it Thank you. MRHO

Recentely over the last week i have seen several topics where the strucure of MD is complained against. Intrestingly however both attack the structure from the oppersite points of the spectrum, one arguing there should be more people, and removing the random acts of people ruins it. And then another complaining that it should be more Robotic, and have the system decide much more. I was wondering what the general public think of this, Whether there should be more Player run things, or should more of it be run by "the machine" I shall be posting my opinion later if i can indeed remember to do so.

Although I'm not involved or affected by the recent ruling on Lifeline, there are a couple of things I personally find troubling. I might be alone in this, and if I am, you should feel free to say so in a post. I'll start by saying that I agree with the removal of Lifeline's summon spell. He used it in an inappropriate manner, and although others like Jester have used it with questionable motives, Lifeline's use was to me unforgivable. Regardless of whether or not there was an explicit rule prohibiting entrance to the lair, as a King he should have known better, and if he isn't accustomed to reading in between the lines in Mur's announcements by now then I can hardly…

Right so here goes. I move players out of locations the likes of Golemus and Necro. Why did i do this well first was the issue with farming in Golemus (this issue was fixed today thanks to ether Mur or the council) I got pm's complaining that is did it. First i got a PM from one player complaining about another farming next i find that player the one that complained was in golemus so i move him too i start getting PM's from both players giving me abuse over the jumping of them I moved players from necro again and more moaning over it and a debate of the rules so i pointed to the rules. Now in all of this we have then got a VET player trying to complain that i…

Since the MDA lands do not have a Ruler, they do not have land rules. However, my question is this: If there were to be a Head Archivist, would said person be equivalent to a ruler, or just a figure head of sorts?

In the details about Deadly Nightshade i just found i the game it states "The plant berries pose the greatest danger to children because they look attractive and have a somewhat sweet taste, but they are extremely deadly even in small quantities." And that is true. With a tiny twist to it. In the beautyful berries there are Seeds - and its them that are poisones as old pickles. The fruit in it self dont contain atropine (the poison).. So in the mongolian part of the world, some women sit with tiny wooden spoons and remove the seeds from the fruit (not good to use anything sharp and damage the seeds and contaminate the fruit).. and then make Marmelade out of the fruits.. …

It was a rule given long ago about the forum signatures in other languages..it was saying they are not allowed...lucky for us, there are translators on the internet that can help us understand what goes thru your little minds... Prink and Raven have the same signature and in red and in serbian..and it goes like this : [quote]"Vi slepi, vi gluvi, vi sebični ljudi što pravite buku bez reda i smisla, bez zašto i zato, za koga i kako, bez pitanja koje bi možda osušilo ponosni osmeh na licu bez suza na licu što nikada obraz okrenulo nije Brazgotina, sanduk i crv i obraz i dlaka i krv Vi nemi igrači svog obrednog plesa vi srećni u transu u svetu što postoji samo u…

Since we all know knowledge of the realm obtained in one way or the other is generally jealously kept, I suggest a weekly discussion event on various topics, where those who have researched can share their conclusions and discuss various mysteries of the realm. The reward for this would be expanding the boundaries of ourselves and learning more, because even the ignorant can teach you something from time to time. I was thinking that this event should have 5 different locations depending on the topic discussed, to add to the feel of it. Your opinions and suggestions, please. I was thinking that it would be good if the logs of these conversations could be made p…

Guess what I found: the new GGG!!! For the ones that did not believe me, below you'll find a screen shot and a log. This is also a small proof that seigheart is fenrir. You know what my opinion is about GGG so I'll let you draw the conclusions. Enjoy the picture and the log. [attachment=2181:New_GGG_training rit.JPG] [attachment=2182:New_GGG_training_ground.html]

Well, I've heard peoples concerns about GGG, so I propose an organization of new training grounds. There won't be any rules, but there will be guidelines and a list of people who “follow them”. There would be a list of those who have a non-damage ritual in their defense, but people who come won't be required to follow them if they don't want to. Also, since another valid concern is people not learning to fight while training at this kind of training grounds, I was thinking of having people with Fight Club style rituals of different difficulty to help in this regard, as well as a comprehensive guide on the fighting system and it's basics, for those lazy to find it in …

I have recenty aquired a Shade, and now I am looking to name it. I have thought about naming it Penumbra, or maybe just Umbra do to its creature name, but maybe something original. What are your thoughts/suggestions? -Vic

Recently iv been working with the mods to make the forum a much easier place to use. Here is a list of a few of the changes that have been completed: There has been a new Groups and Factions forum created under no Mans land. This is for smaller groups that have not reached offical level but still want a place on the forum (you can contact me for getting a subforum under this title). Some of the smaller groups have been moved into it including The Old University (more of an archive) BOB forum MDNP press sparring ground I have also moved the DS forum to Historic documents since its now history. Contests has been renamed to Aventures and Quests, Post as previous…

I am collecting the details of everyone that is a section mod, or has requested a forum. I am collecting these so i have updated documents on who is the "head" of each forum, and therefore who i need to deal with. I have some peoples details, but will be disabling hidden and public forums unless someone comes and tells me they are the leader. Disabling the forums will start 1 week from today (20th Nov) and disabled forums will not be visible, but none of its contents will be removed. This is so i can know when a forum can be removed as no one is using it, and helps me when i need to talk with someone about it. Please send me via any contact medium Forum/s you are …

Based on the latest announcement, i think that the spent WP requirements should be increased when/if WP for days are actually implemented. I know as well as all of you that it might be ages away, but solutions never come it too early. Basically, i think that every requirement already in place should be increased by 3-4, probably in the very high cases up to 6 spent WP, plus some of the tougher spells, like mirror and deadarmy, and the more secret locations, like oak tower, sage's temple and berserker's charge, should go a little deeper in the shop, probably like 1-2 spent WP. As it is, the shop progress is rather slow, and takes a lot of work. That should stay that wa…

If you are in this situation please gather all together and once i have a list of affected players i will go on and fix each one.

[2010-10-27 23:46:50 - Stage 10] You are now able to purchase credit codes (through paypal only). This is so that credit rewards for quests can be accomodated more easily, but can be used for other things too. we can offer multiples of $5 credit codes, and a minimum of $15 must be purchased. In your email please say what division you would like the codes to be made into. (e.g. you send $20 and say would like 4*$5 codes, or 1*$10 and 2*$5 etc) Payments should be made to paypal@magicduel.com, and an accompanying email sent to contact@magicduel.com saying how much you sent, the divisions wanted and the transaction ID and email used. Purchases above $50 will get an addit…
