Change

For my, and everyone else's, clarification, what do you mean by 'or similar'? I'm hoping that this includes any slur that's directed at something that someone can not change (e.g. "race", gender, ethnicity, mental and/or physical disabilities, etc.). Also, dst, in the part of Canada that I'm in, almost all if not all kinds of mockery/bullying is considered rude. I'm a native English speaker who is majoring in English and even I have tons of trouble with English. :P So I do feel for you. The problem is, it's hard to tell if someone is truly ignorant, or they're pretending to be ignorant. When in doubt, don't. Anyone can feel free to PM me text to ask me how I interpret it.

I really really really take issue with the whole concept of "trolls". Yes, trolls exist; however, too often people call other people "a troll" because they disagree with them. Then they're able to say, "Well, you're a troll. Therefore, your opinions are worthless and I'm right." Hopefully these changes will stop making some posts that I read feel like an internal court case. :P

Hmm, it seems that MD is revealing itself to be more and more like real life. The rule benders and breakers get rewarded, though they pay the price of being disliked or hated by most of the community. Maybe jail is meant to be just a roleplay device. There's often corruption in prison systems. Perhaps Phantom Orchid was given the choice to either stay in jail, or become a postwoman. (Pratchett reference. :P). If you were offered ultimate power, but in return, everyone hates you, would you take it?

Welcome back!

Happy Birthday!

So... no forum upgrade? :(

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. Except DD's dead dog is revived and it kills DD, starting an apocalypse of pretty rainbows indeed.

We can make new ones! ... There were that many bugs on the forums? Or am I misunderstanding MD's roots?

The red button was fake pushed to test our reactions. Given all the positive feedback, MD will actually be reset in a few days, and no one will be the wiser. ;)

The end? But MD is still here. It's just gone back to its origins. Now the newbies like me can't complain about not getting to experience the 'good old days'. Ironically enough, this has happened right around the time when I was thinking that MD would be better off being a forum 'game' again. Oops? :P

There's tokens on all of them, thus the title. ;) I'll check exactly what ones when I get home.

Yeah, I found that out, but thanks for telling me. I still want them for battles outside of the mini BHC. I should probably put the note about being able to find replacements in the original post.

Knator: Claw II, goldtear, antifreeze. LR Archer: Jewelshards, goldtear Bird (668990) claw1, kellethafire, blackdiamonds, stardust Bird (669901) claw1, osirisbelt. Bird (669444) antifreeze, stardust. And Grido, I wish, but no.

Imp 1: stardust, kellethafire, jewelshards (3) Imp 2: claw 1, blooddrop 1. (2) Imp 3: osirisbelt, goldbelt, blackdiamonds (3) Archer 1: stardust, antifreeze, claw1, purpurmoon, onyxfangs (5) Archer 2: claw1, jewelshards, onyxfangs, claw3, blackdiamonds, stardust (6). Note: I might hold off on selling some of these until after the Mini BHC if I can't find old replacements in time.

I don't think tokens or stats should be ever able to trump a strategic ritual, so I wouldn't want something like token shield. Chewett, I mean that MD shouldn't worry about giving artists and coders more rewards. (Artists get 3 credits if they create and sell an avatar to the shop, for instance). It was more of a sidenote than anything. Let me clarify. I'm only suggesting that another section should be made for decorative tokens. That is, tokens that only serve to decorate your creatures. Perhaps when you buy a decorative token, you get it in your inventory. You can then use them to decorate your creatures. This could maybe take place under 'advanced creature actions'. This would also allow for people to trade for these tokens. The functional token designs can be used and new designs can be added periodically. Creating new decorative tokens will take far less effort than creating new tokens or creatures, because you don't have to consider fight balance implications. More custom decorative things could be added in the future, but I don't think that this would take too much effort to impliment (considering there are dozens of token designs already).

I think the reason why not many people have subscriptions is because credits are useless to many people. I've heard of lots of people who have tons of unspent credits. What do I think MD needs to improve its finances? Collectables. There are three main things that I get in the shop. Tokens, creature slots, and coins. Tokens are nice looking, but you can't buy them if you want some specific creatures to be tokenless. I'm in that situation now, and so I won't be buying any tokens for awhile. Coins? They're nice, I guess, but gold coins are really difficult for me and other non-grinders to get. Also, silver coins always make me feel like I'm being ripped off (because I don't use the other reward you get when you buy them). Creature slots? My browser is now extremely slow when I load my creature page, and so I don't really want to buy any more. I'm guessing that other people with tons of unspent credits are in similar situations. Here's how I think that these three things can be improved. Coins: Make the rewards given for buying them more varied. Tokens: Have another section of tokens that are purely for decorative purposes. Make lots of these tokens. Perhaps you can choose which creatures these tokens go on? You can easily make this by copying the existing tokens onto this section. Then, you can add more. Using existing token designs could serve to deceive someone in battle as to what functional tokens your creatures have. Creature slots: Have the option to show only 10/20/50/custom/all creatures at a time. Also, have the option to display only certain types of creatures. So, if I selected 10 and 'trees', I could flip through a collection of 100 trees while only showing 10 trees at a time. Basically, have more organizing in general. In short: MD needs more pretty/cool looking stuff! The stuff doesn't have to be functional at all. Other games have beautiful cards, creatures (not saying MD's aren't also beautiful), clothes, and other collectibles. I'd much rather spend my money on MD collectibles than those other game's collectibles if MD made collecting easier. Also, MD artists and coders need more benefits available to them if they want them.

Happy birthday Shadowseeker! Happy birthday Dragonrider!

Happy Birthday! :)

I have 3 imps, 4 sharpies, three grasans, three birds, two archers, a tree, a LR archer, a knator, six priests, two hollows, three guardians, and a joker up for grabs. My other creatures were given, not sold to me, by others, and they have too much symbolic meaning for me to sell. :) Please PM me for more details. I'm specifically looking for black and white, untokened creatures, that have enough age and heat for easy upgrading. I'm also willing to sell and buy creatures for coins too.

Also, some of us might simply be busy. I've got at least two other games/communities that I participate in, one of which is a place where dozens of roleplays take place. In magicduel alone I'm trying to be a Protector, run the Coloured Paper, and help to mod the forums. Although I probably could easily find the time to work on my plot once in awhile, it feels too much like work if I try and do it regularly. Mind you, some of that is probably because I need to make a schedule. I bet that I'd be able to work on my garden once every week or two weeks. The problem is, giving rewards out for something makes it seem like work, at least for me. I know at least one person here who has held this view way before me. If I wasn't expecting rewards, I'd just be working on my plot for fun. But since I'm trying to plant things with the goal of a real harvest, the planting and growing feels like work. Although Magicduel might be 'more than just a game' to some people (like myself), I still play it for enjoyment and the (ideally) regular mental stimulation. Often though, I do things in magicduel not because I particularly enjoy doing them, but because I think they have potential. The problem is, the Community Garden has become yet another one of those things. I'll try and work on my plot more. People (like myself) often lack dedication in general. Those who don't lack dedication, dedicate themselves to what they feel is the best use of their time. But, sadly, I am in University, taking classes in the spring-summer term. Therefore, I am somewhat busy with school, other magicduel things, and other games. I also know that most people are probably way busier than I am at the moment, and I count myself lucky. (I'm an English student).

But.. what else are those large heat jars for? :D Fair enough, and after typing this out, I've realized the many benefits of this restriction. Sometimes it takes typing something out to realize something.
