Change

Weird, I remember seeing this under 'Rules and restrictions'. Like Phantom Orchid said, by posting your insults in such a public place you weren't even making a small attempt at privacy. I think of dst as the ultimate whistleblower/informant as much as I think of Eon as the ultimate fighter. I'm pretty sure that lots of people share my sentiments. dst is the player who is the most likely to come across such posts in a relatively short amount of time. In general, if anyone would come across your horribly insulting posts it'd be her. Why then, would you even think about posting such insults there? You shouldn't be making such insults anywhere, period. Yes there is 'free speech', however owners of a place like a church, hospital, game, have the right to evict someone off of their premises if they start shouting out insults or doing stuff that they don't like. Edit: Moved to general forum where it belongs.

I know, it was just an arbitrary number. If they allow you to join them, then great. However, I highly doubt that someone will be a citizen of 4+ lands that allow citizenship with each land. Meanwhile, people have 5+ different loyalty scores as it is now.

I don't know, I kind of like the idea of a 'land loyalty' vs. a 'land score'. Maybe that's just because I'm tired of games where all that matters is increasing stats, increasing scores, and not other stuff. If the current system is kept, it should be called 'land score' but the system can be changed. What are everyone's thoughts on dual-citizenship? Each land could have a list of lands that they permit their citizens to be citizens of. So, let's say Marind Bell has Loreroot on that list and Loreroot has Marind Bell on their list. A citizen of Marind Bell would be able to apply for Lorerootian citizenship. If accepted, they'd be citizens of both lands. If Marind Bell later removes Loreroot from the list, then the dual citizen has to renounce either their Marind Bell citizenship or their Loreroot citizenship. With this system, I think that the land score from lands that someone isn't a citizen of shouldn't count at all, or should count less. However, it shouldn't be reduced. If I have 500 Loreroot land score, renounce my citizenship, and then become a citizen of Necrovion for 300 days, I should be able to apply to be a citizen of Loreroot and regain the benefits of my 500 days there. How would land loyalty be gained for dual-citizens? The same as for regular citizens. They'd just be able to gain loyalty for multiple lands at once. Now before you cry foul and say that this is unfair to people who are only loyal to one land and one land only, it's not, or it shouldn't be. If a land like Golemus likes citizens who are only citizens of one land, then they can not allow dual citizenship or they can favor citizens who are only loyal to Golemus. However, if a land is in favor of dual-citizens, then of course dual citizens should be rewarded. Yes, some people might get bitter because of this system. What if Loreroot, Golemus, and Marind Bell allowed people to be citizens of all three lands but didn't allow their citizens to be citizens of other lands like Necrovion? A citizen of Necrovion might get frustrated that other citizens get access to lots of land tools and they only get access to a couple at best. That's why before this is implemented, there should be many more ways for land leaders to reward loyal citizens than their are now. That is, there should be more citizenship based (and non-citizenship based) features. Now yes, if there are four lands of equal wealth, and three of them unite in an alliance, of course citizens of the three lands will benefit more than the citizen of the fourth land. On a separate note, I'd like to see another kind of loyalty implemented. There'd be a state/country loyalty score, and a land loyalty score. The state loyalty would count the number of days that you're a citizen in the land. Meanwhile, the land loyalty would be based off of citizenship independent factors. This somewhat ties into the rebel system, where someone can be loyal to a land, but not the government of the land.

A cat sat on Zleiphners face and then died... Zleiphner woke up he said, "WHY!?" He shoved the knife into its sheath, slapping DD who's a GoB onto a bee. Zleiphner, thought that this was bizarre So he kicked the puppy Fang and Fang cried... hell broke loose! and licked BoB, poor BoB always whipped by demons. Then came Eon who finally said, "Enough you people!" and killed DD. DD's blood flowed down and down until it reached a river of chicken fat. Change with Lord Tipu is a good pair of idiots. After Eon's retirement, they decided to kill each other but were unsuccessful, so they slept embracing one another's anime collections. Meanwhile, Peace declared war to avenge DD and all bees, headed by *MasterB*'s biggest CrAzY BeE Eff Eff. The war was won! DD's revival was forever postponed but finally happened in his dreams and reality too! But! DD mutated into a glow, eventually becoming human 9000.1 years later. He killed Change's cousin named Chaos with bread knives and a toothpick killed DD again. This time Permanently. With no way (pickle radish turnip) to not revive without dying again. Peace killed Pothos with his scarf and disappeared. DD trains hardcore despite nadrolski copying him.

Happy sprout day! Speaking of which, I need to buy some sprouts.

Happy Birthdays and Unbirthdays to both of you! :)

Or, a simple solution would be to just email people telling them that they have received a message. The actual message wouldn't be included in the email. I think that the name of the person who has sent the message should, however. Then it's easy to ignore messages from people who you know just like to bug you. I like the repress message feature and the email notification of new pms. :P I voted for the 'other features' option though, at least if another feature could be implemented in around the same amount of time.

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!

You don't need to talk to someone to dislike their posts. It's too bad that we can't easily see a count of how much reputation someone has given to others. Maybe the people you've mentioned like to make use of the reputation feature more than others. Would you still call it spam if you got say, 113 positive rep from Plix Plox? People don't generally dislike or like posts without a reason. Yes, there are trolls out there, but I haven't found that many people who troll in MD. Someone could dislike someone else's posts because they don't like the other person's tone/writing style. Have the people you listed ever given you some positive rep? If they haven't, it's not proof that they are 'spamming rep'. Maybe they just don't like how your writing comes across. I'll tell you right now, Dark Demon, that you write things with a fair amount of conviction. That is, you're fairly certain that you're right in what you say (most of the time. Everyone has exceptions). That certainty comes across in your posts. People like different things, and it's easier to be disliked if you are blatantly obvious in liking different things. dst, someone who you seem to respect, had a fair bit of a negative rep balance for awhile. That's because she wrote her posts in a 'my way or the highway' style. Just look at her signature! :P People who post in ultimatums are generally disliked. On the other hand, people who post things like, "Maybe it happened this way" or "Well, my opinion is . . . but I could be wrong" are generally liked. In Canada, we don't like how our politicians 'flip-flop' on various issues, but I bet that they wouldn't get as many votes if they took a hard stance on some issues. Maybe there should be a post made about 'what does reputation mean?'.

It may not be what others are looking for, but that's what I'm looking for! It's awesome! :D More please?

Happy birthday, Grido!

Happy birthdays!

Are you sure that you want an elf running a fort? Also, of course! I call the broker/manager/bookkeeper/'dwarf'(elf) that only does noble tasks. (No hauling!). A new thread should be started, of course.

Happy birthday! :)

Actually... I'm secretly an elf. Don't burn me! I also like to play various MUDs (Multi-user dungeons) although I've somewhat abandoned them lately for games with less grinding. I think I'm going to come back to them though. I've realized that just because going to x place to kill x things x number of times is the 'most efficient' way to level up, that doesn't mean that I have to do it. I could stay at level 1 for awhile if I wanted to. Or I could actually have fun while leveling up, even if it takes me a lot longer. I also love roleplaying games, though they're not exactly video games. Sadly, not many of them involve tactical fighting skills, and so I often have to play two games to fulfill what I'd want in one. I'm on an endless search for a game that allows for lots of creativity and customization, has no grinding or the grinding is optional, rewards intelligence, and is fun. So far the only games that I haven't abandoned after a short period of time include Magicduel and Go.

I'm expecting one. :) I miss you too, Eon! You made every day feel like a HC where there were actual penalties for losing. My rituals have been full of holes (holey) ever since you left.

I play Aywas, Don't Starve, Dwarf Fortress, Estiah, and Go. (Yes, Go is technically a boardgame, but I play it online. :P)

Just wanted to say that I also support this moovement. D'oink you think that it would be neat if we had other animals? :P

Right, so you disagree with the damage when it affects you, but you're perfectly fine with it when it doesn't? :rolleyes: "Double your_att when you do." means "double your attack right after you lose hidden". Yes, it is kind of ambiguous as to if it means "double your attack when you are hidden" or "double your attack after you lose hidden". Think of someone walking through the bushes and then finding a tiger laying in wait for them. The tiger isn't hidden anymore, but it gets 2x attack because you're not expecting it. I had to ask Dan about what he meant by that too.

It's what Dan and AmberRune said. If you are ambushed when you attack someone you're attacking while hidden. You don't need to wait for the ambush to trigger before you attack. I've used this a few times before--ambushing someone far away from me so the ambush doesn't get triggered and then attacking someone with the 2x attack gained from being hidden. This is all fair play. If you want to ambush and then attack someone, you need 2 agility (in total). However, you can always just ambush someone for 1 agility and wait until they trigger it. Being ambushed also makes you vulnerable, so if you ambushed yourself and attacked someone who was ambushed, you'd deal 4x damage to them.
