Fang Archbane

A Happy Belated Birthday to my evil Furry Demon Daughter :333

Let me start by saying I wasn't sure where to place this, so if it needs to be moved please move it
With that out of the way, I humbly suggest that battles involving MP7s should reward the non MP7 party with maximum Honor per battle (400ish if memory serves) regardless of respective win/loss ratios.
I suggest this because my current win/loss ratio is abysmall, and it will only continue to get worse. I can not, and will not be bothered to fix it working 40 hours a week. Not with the current population
I realize it'll most likely be a pain to code, and for that I sincerely apologize. If this isnt fixed eventually (read Soon™️) however, I will no longer be able to aid mp3s in rising up the various Mind Powers due to how our battle system works (or more precisely, DOESNT work)
Thank you for your time, and if I offended you, I'd suggest you get over it. Have the day you deserve 

I mean I thought there was a feedback from last HC: 

 
Also these quests have the same flaws as a HC test from February/March from last year.

Once there was a small, loving dog named Fang. He was a loyal companion to his owners and allies, always wagging his tail and eager to please. Regrettably however, Fang's life was destined to be full of betrayal and heartache.
His first family abandoned him when he became too self aware and began asking too many questions, leaving him confused and alone. He was taken in by a new family but they were cruel and neglected him, scared of the changes they saw. They too eventually grew tired of him and kicked him back out into the cold.
Fang found countless new families time and time again, and each one promised to love and care for his withering soul. But they too all betrayed him, rendering no aid when he begged and pleaded as he felt his heart slowly dissapearing. Fang walked on his own until his body matched his dissipating willpower and he was too weak to continue, collapsing on the side of the road.
As he lay there dying, a Demon appeared and spoke to him. The Demons words sparked something Fang had thought to be long lost, and a strange transformation began to take place. Fangs small body began to burn and he was consumed by flames, but instead of being destroyed he emerged from the fire as a symbol of rebirth... He arose a phoenix.
Against the Demons best attempts and wishes, fueled by the pain and betrayal he had suffered so relentlessly, Fang set out on a mission of revenge. He flew to the homes of his former owners, raining fire down upon them in retribution for the wrongs they had committed in his now shattered psyche.
But as the ashes settled, Fang realized that his thirst for vengeance had consumed him. He had become a monster, one that was now no better than the creatures who had betrayed him. He then flew off into the sun, searching for redemption and a new purpose in death.
Fang's journey to date may have been full of pain and sorrow, but it also taught him the true meaning of love and loyalty. He would never forget his past, but he would also never let it define him. He would always be there, watching over his rare surviving loved ones from the shadows, protecting them from harm, and always ready to rise from the ashes, stronger and more dedicated than ever before.

I have noted of recent of the implementation of the newfound ability to customise one's interface; that which may alter how one shall perceive of the realm. For those for whom this is unfamiliar, the announcement were henceforth:
 https://magicduel.com/page/Announcement/view/5828

I have spent some time to ponder upon this, and although it may take some time to move the elements to one's liking, I am quite in favour of this newfound ability to do so (many thanks to @Muratus del Mur for this change).
 
A simple quest, then, but one which I hope will encourage of further improvements:

1. Change the layout, using the aforementioned feature, to that which were most ideal for thee.
2. Post of this layout (one would assume the "print screen" key to be of use) within this thread.

Each entrant may, as with all other contests of mine, create as many entries as possible, but where possible, I would that one should edit her own post in this contest, such that each post may have multiple entries within it.

 
Ah, and of course, prizes must be due for one's efforts, although one could also consider that I am hoping also to use an interface which were optimal; as may most of the realm. I will rate each entry based on its usability - consider, mayhap, if one were creating MagicDuel as one who should work for a portal-maker named for fruit.
The best entry on a desktop (large portal) entry will win their choice of any coloured creature released in the last two years (winderwild, moss, priest, elemental, 16th or 17th anniversary elucubratie)
The best entry on a mobile (small portal) entry will also win their choice of the above.
If the winner is the same for both, I will offer a wishpoint in addition to this.

The most amusing entry (from either size of portal) will also win their choice of any coloured creature released in the last two years, or, if so inclined, an certificate-item redeemable with myself for half a wishpoint (noting that I will only grant wishpoints in positive integer values; one will, of course, require a second for a redemption of this sort.)

Entrants shall have one week, starting from the date of this post. Although they may not contribute officially to the final score, I also encourage votes in support of or against entries that also bring enjoyment.

"There also needs to be some more incentives for fighting for alliances, it could be something simple tied to sacrificing, maybe there is a service offered that alliances uniquely posses. Any alliance with a high enough score (of some variable?) can provide the usage of altars for people who are not balanced - that player would need to give the alliance some offering for their usage, that will then go to the respective stock."
Here is the basis for a new idea surrounding alliances. It could be a clickable item in your land that is unique to it, it may have multiple functions. One such may interact with heads, others described above. Overall I think there needs to be some agreement between alliance members in their land as to what the function should do for them. Here we may discuss this.

While her alt was a good friend and benefactor as well (I did not know it at the time), it was clearly in her character as Windy that I was most influenced in Magic Duel.     
She ran Windy’s Pub, an establishment inside Wind’s Sanctuary in Marind Bell.  In this place people came to have fun.  This was a sanctuary, so no combat, no silent grinding, but instead there was a great deal of verbal sparring.  She kept in character as a barkeep, and games and brawls broke out in her establishment.  Everyone seemed to come there and get more deeply into their character than anywhere else.     
She showed me what it was to role-play in the MD realm.  Not just in the person of her character, but by developing the place, and ambiance and atmosphere that she created by her force of will.     
I like to think that I have followed in her footsteps, encouraging role-play at every turn.  I dedicated my “Café by the Maple” to her, and to the memory of Windy’s Pub.  I want to develop it into a gathering place for role-players and those of a literary bent.  But even if that fails and the party moves to the Bug Gardens, or the Oak Fort, or the Gazebo of Equilibrium, or anywhere else, the thread that Windy started shall live on and I will champion the culture she nurtured at Windy’s Pub.
I like to think she helped me win the 2012 Pre-eminent Role Player trophy.

My submission:
 

Just to clarify, is this strictly MD related, or can we write about anyone who influenced us greatly (even IRL)? 

Following mine ascension to the throne of Loreroot, I had been notified of a wish for Sunfire to return to the land who once did call him consul. I have had significant discourse with him, and have returned his name to the Lorerootian citizenship record.
I am entirely aware of the events of the past which concern the Guardians of the Root, and this decision is not made lightly. He has pledged his loyalty to myself, to Loreroot, and to it's alliances, with full knowledge of the consequences of betrayal.
Any who would wish to speak about this are welcome to seek an audience with myself, or, mayhap, Sunfire, if he were willing. I am confident that he will be a boon to our lands, and his experience shall strengthen us; if naught else, he will attempt to atone for the deeds of the past.
 
Below is the brief exchange at the Oak Fort this day.


[27/02/22 17:19] Aia:Sunfire, I have been notified of thine intention to return to Loreroot.
[27/02/22 17:20] Sunfire: *nods* this is true
[27/02/22 17:20] Aia:Although one may consider of events of the past, I believe that Sunfire were not the same as he of several years hence.
[27/02/22 17:21] Aia:Although thine actions remain with thee, Loreroot shall offer thee a small amnesty, if thou wilt pledge loyalty to Loreroot, its Queen, and her alliances.
[27/02/22 17:23] Sunfire: *kneels before her with his head bent low* i do
[27/02/22 17:23] :Aia places her staff on Sunfire's shoulder
[27/02/22 17:24] Zetsuei: *blinks as he realises what is going on right now* I came at an opportune time. Congrats Sunfire.
[27/02/22 17:24] Aia:Let thy deeds more than atone for the blood thou didst spill, Sunfire. Loreroot welcomes thee home.
[27/02/22 17:25] Sunfire: *lifts his head* thank you
[27/02/22 17:25] :Zetsuei applauds
[27/02/22 17:26] Aia:We also recognise of thy past service to Loreroot this day; let all see thee for the good deeds also.
[27/02/22 17:26] :Aia writes Sunfire\s name in the citizenship records of Loreroot once more
[27/02/22 17:27] :Sunfire smiles as he stands up
[27/02/22 17:28] Aia:I sympathise with the frustrations that thou hast faced in the past; I vow never to be resistant to change when it were best.
[27/02/22 17:29] :Zetsuei gives a curt nod to everyone before returning to the aether
[27/02/22 17:29] Aia: *motions to the bridge* Afore this is made real, one considers that it should be adequately guarded.
[27/02/22 17:29] Aia:I hope thou mightst be of service in nurturing of its new guards.
[27/02/22 17:30] Sunfire: *bows his head* i will do my best my Queen
[27/02/22 17:32] :Sunfire takes position at the bridge
[27/02/22 17:33] :Aia smiles

To the reader of this invitation; and to all else,

I, Aia of Loreroot, cordially invite thee to a ceremony of coronation, to be held at 23:00 Server Time, on the 19th day of February, in the seventeenth year of the realm.

Our venue shall be the shore surrounding the Oak Fort. Should there be aught who cannot travel thither, fear not, for there shall be a jump-link; and failing this, one may be rescued with other spells (such as for one who should find herself unfortunately washed ashore upon some deserted island.)

I would be honoured if thou dost attend. Although there shall be an opportunity to grant of gifts, thy presence were sufficient, and a small gift shall be granted to all attendees.

I hope to see thee there.

Blessings

my votes if i remember correctly along with reasoning
fyrd+ valoryn- Fyrd has been active and good with a25 lately, I had much like for his old clicky questline in the past. Valoryn inactive as can be
chewett+ antyvas- Chewett has been doing good coding and other activity lately. Antyvas inactive if not for gathering, but I have never heard from this player personally, almost put nad here but I can't put nadrolski in a bad light even if hes the same as Antyvas lately
aia+ chriselnenepr- Aia has been valuable to md in recent years even if less active currently. Chrisel manages to sneak his way into my alliance without talking to me first and seems to have an idea about the game that is outdated
fang+ ledah- Fang is basically my best friend online and he has more care for things than people will realize. Ledah has been sullying the name of the caretakers with death instead of life

Actually what i get by this method is to increase the sensitivity of the extremes. I lose the entire middle range votes, indeed, but the ends of the spectrum become more highlighted. In a version where everyone could sort everyone by numbers, all wpuld get some sort of vote/rating. In this version, only the people that made someone vote them in place of everyone else will show up on the list, completely eliminating the middle range.
Obviously its not the only wau to achieve the desired result, but right now i think that voting too much too often is not a good thing. Having to vote two people only (up and down) keeps things simple and less annoying.

On hidden scenes, they make it very easy to win if you have access and very few other people do. I think they should be closed for everyone, or that you can't gain points if you are inside these scenes.

Mayhap, one should also be too exhausted from combat to alter of their scenery for this duration also?

Player name: Else
Player ID:   193599
Browser: Google Chrome
Operating System: Windows 10
Importance:  Low
Description - Elemental uses attack target "multiple" when it should not be possible.

 

 

How to reproduce the bug:
Create a ritual with an elemental that can target multiple, totem the creature and open the totem.
What you expect to happen:
Elemental should not be able to use multiple as target at that stage. It may happen with other creatures.

I have moved Else 135 silver from notes to coins via the TK treasury.

After many, many long months of cowering in the Angien's Shrine, Fang Archbane finally decided it was time to pay his dues... Now, time to clean up the mess...

You could involve the dead since they cant fight, they could pose riddles to reward x amount of heads spawned onto them (would be up to the contestants to decide if taking a tour for a chance at extra heads is worth it, possibly movebound with other contestants could make it a mobile gorefest) you could involve mp7s from gateway, if they agree to play along they could also have heads on them and have different defenses set for different mps to defeat for an extra chance at heads, you could spawn heads on non contestant mp5s and have then run around MD, you could spawn heads on someone like Chew as he sets an ungodly wookie rit that has a 99% chance of winning in defense, etc.

By my reckoning this is over! As long as I hear no complaints that the above totals are wrong I will go ahead distributing the purchases!

Hmm, I thought it had been implemented, since I saw some players often disappear and appear on the veterans list.
I agree about the idea to include only active player on the list, but 7 days are too short, maybe around 30-90 days inactivity? To avoid a significant changes at one time on the list? So the players who come and go will cover each other's holes.

It did appear that the clicky for the Faceless Ones had gone quite absent. I have restored it, and added a hover-text to the guards also.

If the reported issue were persistent after clearance of one's cache, do notify me to amend it once more.
