If this is an elaborate troll, I'm sorry to be the killjoy. Rather sure that's an april fool's recurring event. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
-
I'd love to be of any use in this field if im accepted. Consider my submission submitted.
-
A beautiful look into perspective. It gets a thumbs up from me.
-
Ah yes, I should clarify my 6G1S bid was to outbid Ledahs 6G bid. So just the one.

As Fang awoke abruptly in the middle of the Drachorn Cave, he couldn't help but wonder what had stirred him from such a deep sleep. In fact, he couldn't remember how he'd gotten to the Drach Lair to begin with... He makes a mental note to stop smoking so much Nightshade... As he rolls up another NightCig and lights it with some Phoenix Fire.
Fang takes some time to look about, always careful to examine his surroundings for any subtle shift... Waiting to see if his first wife Rose might appear, his constant and unfailing reminder whenever he's sleeping, that he is indeed currently dreaming...
But no, this time Rose did not show. Drats. He was indeed awake... And painfully aware of... Everything. His eyes seemed to have sharpened, his nose seemed stronger, all his senses in fact seemed to have hit overdrive overnight... Was it even night?.. had he ever seen night?.. questions for another day.
As Fang got up and stretched his old bones and waddled about, he realized something... He could hear a small, distant cry. It wasn't the cry of any humanoid... It wasn't even the cry of any beastling... No, this was the cry of a land, far far away... One he hadn't so much as thought about in... Wow, years by now...
Fang takes another drag as he flies out of the Cave and atop GGs floating Pyramids, absorbing some of their Heat and Magic in the process, his very source of Inner Kelle'Tha Fire, a flame that charred only his perceived enemies, leaving any perceived allies licked back to health by the same flames.
As he looked out into the distance, his new eyes matching his new ears, he could see the land that matched the sorrowful cries... GateWay Island, the Island of Beginnings... He let out a deep sigh as he contemplated his near future.
Fang slowly morphed back into his Original Self, a 10 foot tall werewolf with half silver, half pitch black fur, and continues to smoke as he ponders... Weighing the possibilities... Knowing full well every move he makes is watched closely, and remembering he simply no longer cares...
At least... He no longer cares for certain things... But the Young Blood... That he could not abandon. He could just barely spot out a tall, demanding figure, proud to the eye even from here, but everything he had, Fang knew far too well he had earned... It was the silhouette of Azull, past, present, and future King of Necrovion, since Time is more of a... Suggestion.
He also knew this call of the land far too well. He knew what it meant. Change was coming, and Fang had to decide whether he'd catch that train ride or not... Simple as that. Fang releases yet another sigh, as he morphs into his puppy form, finishes the NightCig, flicks it into the ocean, and slowly begins to pack his things.
"My King is going to have my fucking head for this one... And I can already feel all the questions no one will utter verbally... But there's never a need, everyone thinks so damn loudly around here..."
As Fang continues to pack his seemingly infinitely deep bag... He picks up something he'd forgotten he still had. The Moldy Sandwich his father had given him. More or less the only solid reminder he still had of the Old Man... And the promise he'd made that day... A single tear falls onto the Sandwich.
Fang sighs yet again, worried that this bad habit would one day have him sigh his very soul out of his body. What a way that would be to go. No. Enough distractions. He still had a mission at hand. Between his promise to Granos and the Call of the Land... He had little choice in the matter.
To bring down all Gates one day. To Unite this world, either by peace or by war. To keep marching on, even when everyone else pushes back. He'd burn down this entire realm, if it only meant bringing it back stronger.
It seems today, a new phase of Fangs adventure begins... As he transforms back into his Phoenix form, he places his bag on his back, and takes off over the Ocean, dead set for GateWay Island. He's had to accept some things that left a bitter taste in his mouth over time. He's had to grow up more than once, a habit he's afraid will never end.
And yet... He survived and pushes on. Old, nihilistic, exhausted, but unbreakable. Whether anyone understands him or not, it matters little. Today he becomes more than just the Mt. Kelle'Tha Phoenix. He's found a new place as the Gateway Groundskeeper.
If anyone ever asks, hes there on Unnoficial business. Fang was never one for playing by anybody else's rules. He answers to nobody. Explains himself to none. And he'd have it no other way. What he does, he does for himself and his allies, as well as the future of MagicDuel.
With a simple hope that when he finally does meet the big Bird Cage in the Sky... That some, some day, might find happiness in their own adventures here. He doesn't want to be remembered. In fact, his life's easier when he's working from the Shadows. He doesn't seek recognition. Not even acceptance. No gratitude. Nothing.
He simply wishes to be left alone to do as he sees fit. So today he'll take on the responsibility of keeping the Balloon and the Aramor maker of the Island functioning for any Young Blood that might pass.
As Fang lands on the island, he's jostled from his thoughts and looks about. He spots Azull as he had from afar, only now in more detail. Truly, this is an impressive entity. He's decently good looking (if you're into the tall and mysterious type) but Fangs Auric Eyes allow him to see his Energy Field as well... And if that isn't just about the most impressive Field he's seen in quite some time.
As Fang takes a moment to admire the King silently, Azull notices his meager existance after some time and glances over with a half smile. A mix of concealed surprise and confusion flashing across his forehead for less than a microsecond.
Fang smiles back and waves, a wordless and dry greeting between the two, as men who understand each other rarely need to use words. Fang informs Azull that he'll be here for a bit, and that he'd help about however possible.
Azull did not give much more than a nod back, but Fang instinctively knew it was a "I'll believe it when I see it" sort of nod... And he'd earned that, no harm no foul. Fang excused himself and slowly floated up to the top of the mountain, admiring the Gate that lays there, wondering if the stories are true, and it really did lead back to a certain Demons Home.
No matter. Experiments for another day. Fang morphed into his "human" form, a wild looking mutt of a man, only 6 feet tall, but with hair that barely flirted with the ground, unkpempt just the way it always was.
He couldn't help but stretch one last time, wondering how long he'd been in his Phoenix form... A few years now? Aye... Time was always a bit wonky but, that felt about right.
As Fang rolls and lights another NightCig, he looks back across the Ocean to his Home, Golemus. He couldn't help but wonder just how angry his King might get later... But technically the Island is an extension of GG... not exactly a province but... A Sister more or less.
Fang hopes that might be his saving grace, otherwise he might get accused of Treason, much like when he began to Pray to the Shade Sentinel... Eh, worries for another day.
And that's when something caught his eye. He focused his Silver Eyes onto the Golemus Peak... Just in time to see his own Phoenix Form packing it's... Bag... And admiring... A Sandwich... Oh no. It's happening again.
Fang blacks out. When he finally awakens, he's in the Drach Cave, with an odd case of Deja Vu, as he silently questions just exactly how he'd arrived here...

To be fair, things like Memory Stones have been scattered throughout the realms pretty evenly.
I honestly only see this update as placing everything else on par more or less with Memory Stones.
It isn't too bad. I strongly suggest using only a mobile web browser with Desktop View on (as the normal mobile view is a bit... Squished) and optimizing from there.
-
I believe ungod simply means it's too inconvenient to travel that much that regularly. I kindly disagree but, I'm also always on mobile (desktop view) and it's significantly faster and more stable than the pc version (in my humble opinion).

Submitted. If you have any questions please let me know.

Oh heavens, I'd much prefer they do so here in public, for the sake of transparency and fairness. Everyone will be judged equally so, no need for curtains and smoke :3 ????
-
(Thank you so much for your had work Chew. Please try not to overwork yourself. MD will still be here post nap ????)
On a sidenote, this isn't priority or anything but the proper wording here would be
"Playername slid along the heatveins arriving from Y_YxZ_Z"

In lieu of the upcoming Anniversary, and at the behest of Demonic God, I have decided to make a rather questionable quest. With even more questionable rewards.
I am not like most, whether that be for the better or worse, we might never truly know. A book can not be examined until it is done, and it is both my fear and hope that the book of MD never ends.
I have, but a simple question. What does the Void, mean to You. I should preface this by explaining something very clearly however.
I am not asking for the technical response. Some out there, have ventured into the very Void and back. They know exactly what it truly is. This is not the answer I seek.
The correct answer to this question, is any and every honest answer from ones personal Inner. I will pick the 3 answers that best fit my criteria.
First place will go to the answer that fits closest to my own. An unfair request, as very select few can even begin to understand how my shattered psyche functions.
Second place will go to the most creative answer. Third place will go to the absolute most insane answer.
A keen eye will realize that the rewards for second and third, slightly narrow down what first place is not looking for.
I should once again, clarify that I do not know the technical answer to the Void, and do not have any desire to discover it. My reality is my own. Such is the way of the Phoenix of Mt Kelle'Tha.
I evolved as a survival mechanism. A natural process that I had quite little say in. Littered about my papers you might find clues to how I think. When I think. If I think ( ^^)
So CreatorSpeed and best of luck to all the participants. Below will follow the list of rewards pre sponsors. If any sponsors do show up they will be edited as necessary.
First place: a fully grown and maxed SHMSH (I will also pass you 1 silver so you may keep it's stats wherever possible without any personal loss).
Second place: 1 Gold
Third place: 10 Silver
Happy thinking, and may you all enjoy this beautiful magical world, as well as find what you do here useful in this and all other realities.
{The only deadline is the day after the Anniversary. This may be pushed forward if some late applicants need extra time to flesh out their ideas}

This seemingly random popup appears constantly for me. I am not entirely sure how to reproduce it, but it seems most likely to happen when youve opened up MD on a phone browser, and eventually close the browser app. The longer you wait before returning the more likely it seems to pop up. The actual scene does not change, all it does is refresh your entire page, and thus this seems low priority and an annoyance at worst.
-
When the Toy Skateboard is used to travel, it states it properly in the trigger box
Ie: moved from 2_-1x0_4 to 2_-1x1_4
But it does not appear properly in the chat box. In chat it simply states
Player name moved from % to %
(Will update with SS asap)
-
Attempting to favorite anything or unfavorite anything in your item inventory does not result in any sort of actual change.
The buttons are unresponsive even though they clearly light up orange when clicked.
-
If you travel to Willows Shop, one of the Guards outside shows up, and immediately you get the following message "Clicky Not Available".
It should be noted I'm still able to enter Willows Shop, so it seems the system knows I beat it prior.
I should also mention that the scene that used to house BSRs Avatar as a clicky on the island, also now shows this exact message due to a second arrow showing up there.
If any more messages like this pop up, I'll simply add on to this thread.
-
While not priority as it doesn't necessarily impede gameplay, this does seem to be an unintended bug that slightly changes how we battle.
The layout (entire scene, players, chat box etc) and only that layout itself refreshes.
This can be recreated by participating in any offensive battle.
Directly post battle, if you battle and close it to move on to the next and maximize speed/efficiency, it can be seen refreshing every single time.
This happens whether you watch it or not, as a close eye still mid fight should be able to see it refresh.

To be fair, I can make Heat Stones as well. And I farm my own memory stones so... They're all essentially free. I plan on being much more active for the perceivable future so, just find me and ask if you're ever in need.

Sights are recommended for recurve/compound bows starting at 20+ feet from target
-
Y beams as stabilizers are a must. Shifts gravity forward slightly
-
Shock dampeners also shift weight (They aren't just flicky stress relief)
-
Sights must be set to a Baseline (Distance, Weather, Wind Direction, Humidity,and Slope of Field) and adjusted accordingly as circumstances shift
-
90+Meters requires slightly heavier bows (and builds to match it)
-
The art of Archery is as vast as the ocean. Any. Take your pick
-
Arrows are commonly made of 3 components (Wood/Aluminum/Carbon Fibre)
-
Carbon Fibre is not to be messed with. Use gloves if making your own arrows using this
-
Carbon Fibre tends to be the best arrow material (as long as you are CAREFUL)
-
Every home made arrow is more or less as Unique as its Creator
-
Archery arrows only need to meet a length, and fletchling color requirement
-
Match, dont Clash… so speaketh the Wooky
-
Draw Length is defined as the distance between the nocking point and the final resting place of your hand before loosing the arrow
-
Nocking point is defined as the point you place the arrow on the bow
-
Making your own arrows is a 3 stage process (Buy the arrow shafts & cut them down to required size/place tips & Nocks on arrow/Add Fletching)
-
The longer an arrow is, the heavier it is, and the shorter it will fly
-
Arrow length/thickness required is directly tied to one's own Draw Length and
-
Stronger bows require thicker arrows in general, so they don't Speed Wobble
-
In direct contrast, if using a Lighter bow you'd want smaller arrows
-
Again, Carbon Fibre splinters are on another level, tread with CARE
-
Cutting down an arrow is best done using a tool meant specifically for this task
-
Tips come in various weights, do your maths, get the one that's right for you
-
Competition archery requires you have three fletchings, and use a proper tool to verify that each piece is at a 120 degree offset
-
Fletching tends to be 2 of one color, and 1 a separate color
-
Competitive archery also requires you number your arrows for identification purposes
-
Some clubs/competitions require metal inside your arrows in case they get lost in earth

The meaning of life is complicated on a good day. An honest “i don't know” is a perfectly valid response. That being said, at our very core, we should always strive to help those we can, within reason. You wouldn't judge a book before you've finished reading it. In that same light, we shouldn't try to judge, so much as simply make the world a better place. Its ok to have flaws, stare them in the face and work to better yourself every day

I took an extra day just to make sure i could digest it all (sleep is key) So heres my final assessment. I do agree that making any moves is better than making none, so in all honesty im all for it. My Ego has bias of course, but letting go of that i can see potential for much more aid than harm. To be fair, even harm and collisions serve to teach their own lessons so, truly i dont see a downside.
I believe that as long as people care enough about their alliances/guilds to stay active and protect them, then the system you speak of would enable an incentive for activity, and that would pave the way for everything else. I dont know if this means much these days, but this plan and the people behind it have my blessing.
Ill obviously do all i can from GG to aid, but im still getting reacquainted with the new form of MD (just got back from hiatus a few days ago) so i might need some time to adjust, but all in all i absolutely love the direction MD is headed. Its always been very heavily based on the players choices, this just seems to double down on the concept of "A world crafted by the inhabitants".
Edit: I trust your judgement and those of my fellow Inhabitants. I do believe your idea and system as is has an insane amount of merit and potential. I just want to make sure that as you make decisions, you remember my humble suggestion.
A backdoor styled entry shouldnt spark any notifications. Nothing short of checking the alliance in full should allow anyone to notice that anythings changed at all, or that theres any danger.Maybe small, unrecognized symbols appearing on the Alliance page as a small hint that someones attempting to break in, something easily missed but also easily found once you know what to look for.
Maybe make the Backdoor entry take 3 days in whole (maybe less? 2? a full 24 hours?) so that there is time to get caught, and if so, maybe allow them to veto the backdoor entry by matching/surpassing their "Justification Statistic" (Ie: woodcutting/dowsing/etc). -
1) I'd love to have a chance to revive the Fusioneers so, personally I'm all for this but I do have personal goals that would benefit from such an action, so the Ego is biased on the matter.
2) I'm all for this idea, I haven't read everything in whole but I read about half and I believe I understand. I support this "backdoor entry via woodcutting" (for example) if those already in the woodcutting guild have the option to veto.
If their qualification is woodcutting at (let's say) 1000, then enough members to make 1000 woodcutting together would be enough to veto said backdoor, assuming they would even be active or want to.
Edit: just wanted to state my opinion before I lost my train of thought, gonna go back and finish reading in full.

Im 1,728 days old today, and im looking at a 447 AP max currently.
The issue here wont be one for me, or people like me. Two points i feel i should make public come to mind.1) Death is an extreme. In the Dead we only get a once a day, 24 hour regen timer, and we make do just fine. Honestly, this doesnt sound like an issue, just a shift in mechanics and a shift in mechs means a shift in perception if were to adapt and move forward.
2) There is potential for MP6&7 to take this hypothetical change to extremes. If we get massive regen timers and we have the knowledge & resources we need to accrue massive temporary stats, when we lose no AP to traveling if we meet the minimum criteria... well it sounds like a lot of fun and testing to me, but it could get messy, thats all im saying.

Also of note, my dear new and upcoming magic user, is that Stone Tablets can Store any level of any spell with 1 or more charges left.
I won't ruin all the fun for you but I will say this. Stone Tablets can be made once Illusions are Lifted and you're welcome among the Leaves @Zetsuei
(I'd help more myself, but only Miq and a few select others can reach the GG Lab that has the tools you'd need to further this goal, best of luck :3)
