As it says, would you participate or maybe not?

A long while ago before I went inactive due to some very serious and personal RL issues I started a facebook contest where you would color and MD avatar. I am having trouble finding all the participants as some of the entries were submitted to me on another platform and ended up deleted from the system. If you participated in this quest please resubmit your entry, so I can reward the players who have been waiting and deserve their prizes. I thank you for every ones patience

As Mur posted a picture (on Facebook) of the "Lost island" west of Golemus, asking for suggestions on what the name may be, and I've not seen any posts anywhere else, I'll begin here. I'll start with 'Wraith Island' and 'The Uncharted'

Can anyone give me a run down on who's who nowadays? I assume a lot of the old faces still run things?

A couple months ago, while browsing through my digital library, I stumbled across some occult books that I never thought I'd read. One of them was on the topic of amulets and talismans. I don't quite remember the author's name - it was Maria? Gonzalez. I found it to be a VERY informative book. It explained lots of things - like the origin of make-up. For the 'primitive' man, disease was external. Evil was always an outsider. It entered the body via holes/gaps. Mouth, ear, nostrils (and others). Even the eyes were gates for the evil/disease. And so the primitive man/woman decided to protect himself/herself. Eye make-up? Lipstick? Ear-rings or finger rings? It was all …

Ann. 4630 - [2019-03-05 01:27:07 - Stage 14] - Permalink - Posted By Muratus del Mur 4 likes Research and connection clues taken from personal notes I posted a new research and connections clue in Gateway Island doc. Honest feedback is welcome. Also based on your feedback i will decide if i should continue to post unfinished work as clues or not. I have A LOT of notes prepared for my second book about balance, and i am not sure if i will ever be able to put them in a coherent form to form a book with start and end, but as pieces of information they are valuable and interesting. If you would like me to populate md with "reserarch and connections" taken from these no…

I'm not sure how many times was land voting successful in MD, but it was rare for sure. It needs to change to make sense. The 'vote' power of those that didn't vote in combination with the lack of initiative of the land applicants is the essential problem. Originally I wanted to suggest for the vote power formula to change, but Ungod talked me over in another direction What I suggest is: 1) Citizen Voting Forum interface should be changed to introduce a welcoming and descriptive message of the land, containing helpful instructions (such as whom to contact for more information). 2) Applicant should have a text box to enter a message why he wants to j…

As the moving force of the many things, poetry deserves its places here, dont you think?:) Tell me where dreams speak the truth Where all my illusions are more than dust And although there is no eternal youth There is something else… Higher than hope and deeper than faith Something different than all routines Where our souls deserves to rest After being freed… Choose me over the world Ignite the passion within the dying So they may be also free When their time turns to nothing…

As some of you might remember, i used to be the drachorn guy. I just realized how long it's been when i looked up the corresponding announcement https://magicduel.com/page/Announcement/view/4044 To my knowledge, there hasn't been any serious attempt at picking up the role, so i once more encourage whomever it may concern to prove your skills and claim it for yourself! About the poll, i don't consider the charms 'mine' anymore, but i still have technically unlimited access to the drachorn cave. Seeing as i finished my exams, i can make a little more time for MD again, and if there's a general consensus that charms should be up for grabs, i'd keep an eye out…

(This started off as an idle in-game roleplay chitchat but it turned out quite fun, so we thought of posting it up for others to continue ) On a quiet night of winter at the Gazebo of Equilibrium, three ladies - Nepgear, Josephine and myself - were resting from the regular sparring and admiring the soon-to-be-decorated tree and the work that the Elves were doing. Upon further thought, Josephine wondered if the elven workers needed something to eat - surely they were working long. She thus offered them some of her sandwich, which sparked an idea. One idea led to another and what was to be a little snack grew into something more. With agreement, I have recorded …

Hei, I dont have any numbers for this but one thing i noticed was that we lose new players in the first scene followed by the second scene, so i took a look at the first scene at what information they get about the game and thought that it wouldnt be enough to make me stay thats why i though that the welcome message they can see there should be updated, for this matter i made this topic. how would you describe MD to people to spark interest in the game? how would you word it to make them pull through some waiting times? what would be a good welcome message for new people? and so on... TLDR: help describe MD to improve the welcome message on GWI -Mag

Consider this as a formal complaint against the AL "One Man, Many voices" organizers. True, AL should be possible and should impact the game play of others. So, considering that: altars are one of the top most important parts of MD directly blocking character improvements by getting/exchanging current creatures and by blocking the stats from the currently available creatures there has been no progress on this for a too long time in this AL 3 months already since last post the altars have been stopped for no reason - as there is no info in AL yet as for the altars to be blocked . in the AL timeline you could have…

Please do not post ITT unless you are posting logs from seedwalks. Logs from 12/8/13 Oak: [spoiler] : Rophs curls up in Awi's roots and waits for more people to arrive Rophs: Inside a dead tree Rophs: Not a dead one, just sleepy Rophs: Why won't he wake up? : Rophs quietly mourns Awi's deep slumber : Change dunnos : Rophs notices Change : Rophs waves to Change : Rophs gets up from the roots and brushes himself off Rophs: Who tells a story first? Change: Not it? : Rophs nods I'll tell a story first then. walks over to the Oak and sits down facing it cross legged Rophs: *turns to Change* What should my story be about? Change: Hmm Change: Growing up : Rophs nods…

Please don't forget Established Housings, it's a land in its own right. No real input as to the rest of the topic, -0.5 makes sense to me, sent some corresponding stuff to you DD, which isn't directly related to the thread.

This is for the passionate and skilled people out there... a new level of MD I am just a man, and chew is also no batman either, we are trying to foster the existence of this wonderful community, to keep its values and hopefully to attract more interesting people. As you know, this is a dictatorship, without dictators, a social sandbox, a trial towards self discovery, a place where crazy means good, where skills are your invisible rank, a place where nothing is fair but just makes things spicier and challenging in a strange way. Each one sees what he is searching in MD, a mirror of himself that he eventually has to face, there is no predictable thing you could see …

This here is really a call for public research, but the title shall make sense after a little while. I was wondering whether those who took an interest in the topic of death in MD would like to publicize their findings. I, on my part, will speak of an experiment related to death and maybe incite some spirits. A couple of years ago, I was suggesting a rework of death in md, because back then I was against the idea of reviving. I looked at it as a nefarious religious influence that went against the basest realities. Once dead...well, we'll take care of your grave in the years to come. Or maybe we'll forget. In games, this revival thing was extremely useful…

So as we all know heads are coming off the island I (MRF) happened to get some I get messeges asked to give them I of course would like to keep them. But fang and mallos decided to do some alt and power abuse to take them away from and move them to mp5. Seems like ledah was involved too unsure if he willing knew or not though

If I wanted to have someone draw me an avatar, is there any way to have me obtain it directly from them, or would I have to shift through the avatar store until I see it once it's done and submitted?

I'll try to keep it to the point. This is half me thinking out loud, half me wanting to find out if anyone else has opinions on this. Do you think any specific mechanical aspect of MD needs to be "revamped"? One thing I notice frequently about other games is that developers keep game features "rolling", they adapt them to the player base and the way the player base works - they keep moving, forcing players to adapt. It brings novelty from the devs, but also forces novelty from the player base. MD feels very stagnant in this sense, and at least to me, it appears that a good chunk of features is out of tune with the current playerbase, and a lot of new features ap…

Um...I created the new form for the stone tablet combiner in Loreroot recently, but I’m not sure about how memory stones turn into stone tablet, so can you guys share some thoughts and ideas with me? or which one do you prefer? Here are my concept ref & sketches of the Stone Tablet: A) Break the memory stones completely and pour into a mold to form its final shape with the power of the combiner. You can carve spell/text on the flat surface just like a traditional stone tablet. B) Crush the stones into small pieces and make it like a gravel mosaic, similar to Dhyone’s idea. C) Melt the stones(with heat?) and squash them into one single stone tablet, but you …

*reads fang's topic* I want to have a theory, too, and be famous! (some time later) I have a theory! Now let's see if it makes me famous (highly unlikely)... ________________________________ My theory is that the angien egg at tge Shrine has travelled thrre from another place and...well, that's enough. The egg is capable not only of travelling at a whim, but can choose the location... My argument is based on the fact that the angien egg hovers, and its continuous pressure creates a hole in the ground. The wind's sanctuary has clear imagery for those who haven't travelled to the shrine. As for how it does that, my ijitial idea was that i…

This wonderful waste of forum resources is me throwing out incomplete ideas, they might not be accurate, they might not be coherent, they will likely be nonsensical and very esoteric. Do you like research? Good luck, here be dragons. snowball effect is like when principle of Entropy ever increases in our (real world) universe maybe the butterfly effect is somehow involved, so many things being similar and different (principle of Transposition)? group spirit and Imagination: when people believe that something that isn't there is there it sortof becomes there e.g. Awiiya's seeds... and wiiya being at the seeds is Transposition of the group spirit's Imagination? same thing …

How we look at time is basically like this, no? : d/V. Basically, it's about movement over a distance. If an objects doesn't travel, time doesn't 'pass'. Now, we might say time still passes, by looking at other objects that move, but measure it in relation to the object that stands, and you have zero. So how do we measure time in MD? Can't do it by looking at the sun that 'moves', and bet on the day-night cycle. If you measure it relative to the moment you get 1 more AD, you have a 'day' there, but we can all agree time is measured here in relation to an exterior system of reference, right? What happens in MD that we can take as reference point? For examp…

My character Rophs currently has many goals, one of the largest being sailing west to find the landmass that is located there. Rophs thinks that although freeing the Empty Aramors would be an interesting event that it would be wiser to learn WHY thery came, WHERE they came from, and WHO sent them. He wants to sail west to wherever the Empty Aramors are from and then possibly free the Empty Aramors. Goals related to sailing west Fix the Ivory Lighthouse to ensure a safe return (Topic here: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/15126-wp-quest-get-the-ivory-lighthouse-working/#entry147499) Gather a crew for the seafaring ship left behind by Cryxus and his pirate crew …

I'm splitting this from [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/11486-connections-to-the-realm/"]this[/url] because I really do think it's an interesting idea and want to see if there's any discussion to be had about it. [quote name='Brulant' timestamp='1327121612' post='101562'] I think it would be interesting to have a period of time that acts as a Masquerade. Everyone could be put into an illusion that, say, changes their name, hides their papers and inventory, removes their creatures, and otherwise "resets" their profile. No one would know who each other are after the reset takes place. Then, for that period of time, the game could be played as if everyone …
