Answers to you questions: To start off, this is a list of observances, feelings and ideas from a group of people who have been feeling marginalised and annoyed at some of the recent events in MD lately. There is no particular order of severity or importance here. RPC = ROLE PLAYING Character. Some RPCs don’t seem to do a lot if any roleplaying. Indeed, some are very rarely around (idle doesn’t count as being around). While many of the RPCs that fall into this category are indeed hard working and contribute a lot to the game, they are NOT ROLEPLAYING much. If they are doing too many projects it is taking them away from the roleplaying aspect of the game. Perhaps they should not be working on so much at any one time? Perhaps they should have a recognised assistant (perhaps a PWR position). Or maybe, they shouldn’t be RPCs, but hold some other title like Game Design Team Member? [color="#000080"] [b]Answer : Normaly there should be just PWR roles no RPC, but the RPC abilities can’t be trusted to any person. The RPC activity is not that important their responsibility is.[/b] [/color] RPC Activity It seems that many RPCs have the same kind of hours of play. Again, being idle doesn’t count here. The RPC list should really always have a few active RPCs at any time. This is a regular picture for some people playing. This is not having a go at any RPCs. It is merely to show the lack of RPCs at certain times of the day. Why cant RPCs be chosen with a mind to the hours of the day they will be active? (See image att.) [color="#000080"][b] Answer: RPC’s where not chosen from the same timezone or because they were seen when Mur was online. It may be because of the advertisement, targeted more time on the States, the result being seen like more users from the same timezone.[/b][/color] PWR A list of PWRs would be nice. Something like the RPC list. [color="#000080"][b] Answer: Making a list of PWR will mean to different them to much from regular players and i don;’t wanna PWRS to be like an other lvl of RPC. They are a transit stage between regular and rpc and actually the ideal stage.[/b][/color] Rewards How are rewards chosen? It seems that some of the rewards given are not given on merit. Why is it that people, who have been bad seem to be rewarded? Why are bad roleplayers and godmodders rewarded? Why are people rewarded simply for being in the right place at the right time? Some people will never be there. Are they to be punished for this? [color="#000080"][b]Answer:Without names i can’t answer to that.[/b][/color] Roleplaying What is good roleplaying? Many people will have different interpretations on this. Some people like to have magical powers and abilities, or be innately magical. Some don’t. Some people seem to think that they can launch fireballs from their backside and imprison other people in magical ice cages. Often on a whim, or because they just have to trump everyone else. Some people have to just be better at something than others, even if the other person is really dedicated or geared towards something. Doesn’t matter, I’m better at it than you bud. Let’s just say that good roleplaying is playing in such a way as to not diminish the actions and roles of the people around you. For every action there is entitled to be an equal and opposite reaction. You cannot lash out at another and then just refute and rebut any reaction they have to your actions. [color="#000080"][b]Answer: Good roleplaying is that type of role playing that requires minimum amount of fabulations . It does not matter how many ** you put or how much you spam the chat it matters how well integrated u are with your presumed role and how u managed to use ur limited abilities to support that role without inventing ridiculous abilities. This is also a criteria for rewarding players.[/b][/color] Loyalty Why is it that some people feel that the players that have been playing a long time don’t deserve anything? Does loyalty to the game and the community count for nothing at all? Nowadays it doesn’t even seem to garner respect from younger players. You’re just deadwood. You’ve been playing the game for ages and look at you, you’re a nobody, who cares what you think. [color="#000080"][b] Answer: That impression might be personal. Loyalty to the game reflected by active days and gathered achievements was always something to increase reputation and notoriety. And because of that it also increases enemies on other sides. [/b][/color] Personality Clash Yes there are people that don’t get on in the game. But equally there are people who contribute a lot. While you may not like them why cant you recognise that they do contribute to the game? Why not reward them or help them? [color="#000080"][b] Answer: PPL that help are usually noticed. If they help n some secret dark corner of their home lab and they just show it to friends i can’t know to reward them. There are a lot that do a lot of things but some things have greater impact then the others. [/b][/color] Die Hard Vs Casual Does anyone think about the casual gamer? Are they just a nice distraction from time to time? There doesn’t seem to be much in the game geared towards the casual gamer, who doesn’t know a lot of people or have a lot of time to spend playing. [color="#000080"][b]Answer: This is not a game for pp that just want a weekend relaxation. The beginning of the game is one of the things that filter out bored and frustrated ppl from reaching later stages and that makes the game very uncomercial but i am willing to pay that price.[/b][/color] The Have’s and the Have Nots Does anyone feel that the game is dividing into groups of people. That there is a top tier of people, who are rewarded, while there is little or nothing for the masses? It isn’t being said that people don’t deserve rewards, but what about the rest? Why not try to spread the love instead of having the same people all the time. There also seems to be an attitude that you aren’t worth listening to or are just jealous and petty because you aren’t an RPC or whatever. This is insulting and juvenile. On the subject of juvenile, maybe the RPCs should look at some of their bickering on the forums and in game. They are not working as a team and not setting very good examples for other people (This is meant as an overall and casual observance, not pointing fingers at individuals). [color="#000080"][b]Answer: U can’t have a book that talks about masses of ppl and name each one of them. Some of them need to be main characters even if they do not deserve it all the time. They are not picked based on personal favours and there are many other characters that deserve to be RPC but are not. Regardless how many ppl will be promoted to RPC there will always be other ppl to complain about. It’s not a race to become RPC they are just ike pivots in a constantly changing community.

And don't forget that Dojo is in one SINGLE place, Marble Dale Park. That's the only one.So i really hope that you won;t get punished for attacking in other place.

Closed.

This is a very good idea. Please pm me in game the desired text on the triggers box and i will post it. Also i might help with a reward not sure what. One note: maybe if u remove the festival thing (not from Jesterfest) will be even better. Let's simply call it Jesterfest.

NOTE: if anyone want's to start and make the private conversations you have on ym public, EDIT THE DAMN THING! erase the name and put the MD name or that post will be erased and maybe u will get a temporary bann. Mods and Admins have no time to edit ur posts and change the names. Also the private, personal things spoken to you on ym (RL ONES) have nothing to do in this forum. If u decide to make public what never should be at least keep the personal RL things to you.

Have you heard the news? About Raven's declaration and Knaty's letter? Are you familiar with cold war? Or a war on both sides? Anyway the so called war is a big fight and it is on pause as Raven stepped down. If he will be elected then it will resume, as i suppose, i speak only on my own, only my thoughts, i do not speak in name of anyone so that can be cleared.

As the Letter was seen by all the citizen, you all can comment it here. Thank you.

I must thank you for the answers given. If you saw my conversation with Knaty then you must know more, or at least think at more. Yes, i have affection for Loreroot. No, if you refer to humas. I only speak of territories, as i have a great affection for Golemus. I stay and protect the every secrets i have learned and been whispered to me, be it land, human, tree or creature, light or dark. My interests are not in leaders and conquer the territories, thou i am assigned to a specific one, full of magic and mysteries. I have only one concern about the future or the consequences of this so called war and i think none is ready for what the worse could be. Yet, you would think that from bad comes good, but now i start wondering how much dark is needed for that light ? I must know who i can trust in order to face the consequences that concern me. With so much chaos in that territory, dark is spreading it's roots.

So, if i look at the ones that declared they are neutral, they were elected to be present at the meeting, still a very private and secret meeting (*adds supposed to be*) , and they agreed on that? then on whom we may trust these days? what declaration are true and who is lying here? Also, may i know the main purpose if the High Council and if it is ruled by someone ? And why Knaty said you started internal arguements on who is in the Council and who is not?

Then why the meeting was called a High Council meeting with Knaty if it was actualy an open meetign with alliances? Or we are speaking of 2 different things? I am asking about the meeting : High Council and Knaty, not another one. I can't believe you all spoke military ways with all of them present.

Then my question is another: what was Glor doing at the High Council - Knaty meeting? As i could see him in the RPC list there, with all of you .

So the Council is made of 10 ppl ? BT is inactive, Nelya inactive so 8 in the end.

I have a question for the High Council. I know that : Logan, Amoran, Calyx, Sagewoman and Tarq. are in it. My question is : who else. At the meeting Knaty had with the High Council these were the persons called.

Well, as i understood the votings will be monday up and if Lorerootians will claim Raven king, he will accept. so until then there is no need to start the argue again.
