Here's a slightly edited log of the meeting today, full proper log coming from Chew later! Chewett: So im going to be changing how I work/code on MD Chewett: Each month I will set some kind of possible goal,etc, for the week Chewett: for th e month even Chewett: This means each month will have a single objective which I willattempt to coplete,a nd we wont be jumping around stuff Chewett: This month will be the fixed quest system Chewett: There will be 3 main aims to this current month. Chewett: The first is to allow a easier to access quest system as the quest page is dire. Chewett: This is to improve the visibility of quests and allow newbies to mo…

I have the mark!

So today, it seems Luck and Fate have favored me. I didnt just get a Single Mark, but a Double Mark. Single Marks of the Beast ive stumbled upon in the past, but ive been trying to get a Double Mark for quite a while now. My reasoning is simple. I have loyalties, they are what they are, and i stand by them. That being the case... I kindly ask that both BlackShade Rider and Myself (Fang Archbane) be given the Mark of the Beast. If this can not be done, and only i am applicable for the Mark, i kindly ask i not be given it. If thats the case, ill continue to seek Double Marks until this particular Goal is met. Thank you for your Time/Consideration/Understan…

Ann 4219 I have been keeping some codes with the intent of sponsoring some quests. Or to gift them to some that need them more than me. Same for WP codes. The current MD population is low. I haven't had a chance to find someone to give those. I have been asking for credit codes instead of simple credits because of the easy usage. Plus, as a veteran I don't need that many credits (I get enough for my current obsession from daily credits). I haven't seen anything good (as in appealing for me/myself and I) in the shop for quite some time. I agree that the "codes DB" needs to be cleaned but I think there can be another way. It involves some work but I voluntee…

Feel free to ask questions about any of these work topics, I will update the topic as and when I change things, making comments and bumping the thread when I move things around. Order of items mostly relates to when they will be coded, Sometimes quick fixes (less than half an hour) will be coded before larger pieces of work.

I'm at my parents for a couple days and apparently New Year's Eve has knocked a load of BT's fibre links offline so I have no internet for an unknown amount of time on a definitely unrelated note any bt engineers contacting me would be appreciated

https://magicduel.com/page/Announcement/view/4189 So does this mean that heat tolerance is no longer a thing? In order for me to check my heat i have to click the compass on my right. Also it no longer shows what my capped heat tolerance is.

If you use FF and have 49.0.2 (update done on the 20th) for sure you have an issue with the MD scenes turning black. How to solve it: Navigation bar: "about:config" Accept the risks. Search for "dom.ipc.plugins.asyncdrawing.enabled" Double click to change from "true" to "false" Solved!! Thank you @No one for providing the solution!

I'd like to share some random thoughts; it's two years since I joined, a little retrospective on my part. Who knows, maybe some can connect to what I'm saying here. First off, I find that much of my first impression of MD is gone. You know what the say about the first impression. I personally felt ...mmm...an uneasy, eerie atmosphere. The story of Marind, the visual style (striking because it was different from what you usually see), the 'wtf am I supposed to do', it all created a thrill, a feeling that _something_ is broken. Now, it's more like 'what's happening new?', getting pissed off or laughing at stupid **** or cool stuff; so, it doesn't feel like a game, it's…

Hello all, I'm looking for people to host/organise quests for this coming Halloween (31st October), if you are interested, please let me know and I will add you to the ongoing discussion. As the 31st is a Monday, I was wondering which of the three options would the majority of public prefer; quests held/beginning on the Friday, Sat and Sunday before Halloween (28th,29th & 30th), just the Monday (31st) or for the entire week commencing 31st? A few of the quests planned already will take longer than a day to complete, so quests that can be completed in shorter time-spans would be greatly appreciated! If you require help organising/planning or sponsor…

So with the latest changes a TTC would be nice. So i'm going to start one. Mainlands only (for now). Location will be the front of the land gate and rotation will be once a week Tuesdays. rotation order: LR MB LotE NV GG Any ideas and suggestions welcome :) Miq

i have how the anni/bday achievments are broken pictures if they dont have one why not make it look like the crit for that year? i,e last one was the red barren

Tranquil Nights When the clashing of swords echoes no more, I call upon you to join me in storytelling, harvesting, reminiscing, teaching, trading or any activity that is deemed suitable for the day. When the day does not make itself entertaining, it is up to us to make it so. Lay down your blades, Lay down your shields; Join one, join all, on every Day of Tranquility from now on (12th and 24th of each month). All are welcome and encouraged to contribute; I shall set the theme and pace and will announce it ahead of time. Rejoice, unite Your scattered might. Points will be given and a tally will be kept. Rewards will be given to the diligent, rangi…

Something that came up in today's soundscape was that Chewett needs organisers - both official ones and ones who just go for it without having to ask permission. Sunfire said one of the issues is coming up with ideas. I've heard this before so I thought I'd make this thread. Have you got an idea that DOESNT NEED CODING and which you'd love to do if you had time, but don't have time to do? Or something similar? Why not stick your idea here, and maybe someone will pick it up and make it happen for you. Scared of making a big public statement? Send me or Mallos a PM (you can send a PM to Assira or Nimrodel too- but please explain why you're doing it as they weren't at t…

I had a little flash some days ago, when I realized that we're dealing more often than we think with the mathematical value of infinity, when we try to 'create'. Take someone who wants to make a game - you start with the unlimited power of spawning, for example, creature after creature so that it can be farmed endlessly. Or you can write a little code in which from your apple tree each and every player can pick apple after apple. People even dreamed of stuff like this - the cornucopia. But that wouldn't be sports, and in an attempt to create a game of skill, you reduce the infinity to fractions. I think this is the wrong way to make a game, because when trying to split th…

Following my last topic on this subject, and the obvious agreement from some, I'd like to kindly request for an official judgement on the Nomad's 'Bring in' spells. I'd personally like to see some form of usage rules implemented, rather than complete removal of the spell. I'd also like to ask for myself and Mallos to be removed from NC, as there is no possible route for use to escape aside dying reviving, and we were dragged in unwillingly. @dst @Burns -A

After being summoned to Necro twice by Azull, I thought I'd ask; Why do Syrian and Azull have bring-in? This isn't the first time they've used their Bring-ins on people outside of their nomad group either (they're using Lashtal as their free murder machine). Considering this spell is given to rulers and only for their citizens, why do two ex-rulers have 20 casts of the spell and why does it work for anyone? Ok, so it may be given as a gift for ruling, doing well, etc, etc, but the spell should only work on those with the nomad flag. They have no rulership and no actual citizens...so I don't understand why they'd still be allowed to have it and such free reign wi…

What is a game without competition... Falronn, Leader of the Fusioneers in the Embers of Kelle'tha, will be asking you to become His adept. His goal as protector is to bring life to all parts of the realm. How will He do this? There are various ways to achieve any goal, and He is ready to try any that seem sufficient towards the end result. Quests and Adventures are waiting for you to take part in them. Would you like to free the Aramors? Can you repair a broken lighthouse? Sailing a ship on the sea daring enough for you? Ever wanted to fire a land weapon? This and much more await you if you follow Falronn in His and your own quests. All the lands…

Ave, Is NML supposed to give NML loyalty? At the moment it seems that it does not give anything at all (not even "no homeland")

As title says.

Can someone please point me where should i find all the restrictions on the shared tools so i stop being grab banned? I've looked at Ann. 4059, Ann. 3966, Ann. 3964 and forum topic http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/17290-guardian-of-tools/ And i can't seem to understand why should a Guardian of Tools ban me based on "for depleting water inside Marind Bell" Can anybody help me? Please? Thank you, darkraptor

I don't know why, but since some time ago I had the feeling mindpowers should be able go both ways: rise and descend. In the title I used Aeoshattr's term, who said he sees the current flow of mindpowers mp3->mp4->mp5 as correct. So I decided to look it up on the forum and found an old topic where Mur talked about plans to make the MPs go down. The topic is from 2011, though I thnk mindpowers' stability can be affected to reverse the 'normal' flow, the question is: what could affect it? Interested in hearing what you think, I also have an idea, but it might be too late for it (or too early lol).

I think killing tools should have an item recaller so the owner of the tool can take it back whenever they please. Due to the rarity of these items they are highly valuable and thus if loaned out the user will have a lot of responsibility to return the item, of which they may not do. My reasons for thinking they need a recaller are that if the items can be loaned out to anyone who will pay if the owner likes the request, it is beneficial for both parties (except the dead obviously). This pushes more towards frequent killing tool usage and this may be a good thing as it will generate some quests (if players purchase for that) and it could be a balance to allow more revival…

I can't seem to find any stuff on walking trees on forum (maybe I'm blind and need a link). Since I wanted to do a quest, I thought a bit about the tree and this is what I find at first glance: the roots of a normal tree find a different nourishment, a rather confusing one, in the remains of a soldier. This new essence runs through the sap of the tree and the once growing, immobile, fighter of bugs is changing. It stops growing in a normal tree way, it changes the blueprint - and ends uprooting and starts to walk. My questions are: starts to walk... towards what? What is the purpose for this hybrid? The last level shows it has no weapon. What kind of freedom do…

Im considering holding a general meeting sometime soon to sit in MD and talk with people and discuss things. Feel free to ask questions here about it, or make comments.
