Balance Balance = desirable point between two or more opposite forces (source Wikipedia) for me is the true definition, but i would reformulate it to cover a more general case as Balance = necessary point between two or more opposite forces to maintain the desired effect that way one can understand either a static balance, or a dynamic balance and as looking at a system (or situation) that is balance versus a desirable effect, one need to distinguish if its a stable equilibrium, or an unstable equilibrium. i.e. will a small disturbance of the forces in the system tend to amplify, more and more going to an unbalance, or is the system such that balance will tend to be restore naturally. and also one can see a system (or situation) asking himself is there in this system, one or more stable points ... i.e. point from witch a small disturbance would would not change situation, as the system would naturally get back towart the previous balance point. Take an landscape, one can put on top of each mountain a large rock that would remain at its position, but a small disturbance could have that rock drop on its slopes. Take that landscape, and one can put in bottom of each lake a large rock, that would remain at its postion, but a small disturbance would not have the rock move from the botton of its lake. If i desire i can want to have that large rock in mid slope of a mountain, and if i build a support, its reaction, will make the rock stable at that position. "the nothing is balanced by the everything", to accept that statement as a balance i would need to know first to what desirable effect, and secound how is "nothing" an oposite force to "everything" to contribute to that desirable effect. "...we living beings, are counterbalancing the very essance of the void, we ARE" I can accept that statement, maybe if there explantation of how the "void" is a force that is oposite the "we are", and that the "we are" is a force that act agains it, and to what concidered desirable effect. But as it its presented i cant. Like saying that "there is ritch as long as there are poor", yes its a statement that is logical, but i dont see it as a balance. being ritch or poor is a state, not a force ... maybe a desirable effect ... if one want to be either poor or ritch. but the forces are many and such as the economic you live in, the trade one know, his luck in finding a gold mine, whom he know, what he know ... And even then, the desire outcome being either ritch or poor, can be different for some. One can see himself ritch having 3 wifes, 10 goats, and rice to eat each day One can see himself ritch having a private island of 10 square miles, with a mansion complex of 50 million, 20 servants, 1 prize wife, 2 concubin, a 1 million yatch, and a private airplane ... And i am sure some can find himself poor having only that. In the end one can either chose to like or dislike desire outcome. And affect the forces necessary to obtain and maintain it to his the desire state.

[b]2* Sunny[/b] most scene being without cloud cover. an eternal day time is observe. - Best choice would be sunloving crops, or if not using some shade cover or using some companion crop that would provide shade is recommended. [b]3* One see grass having taken root in many place.[/b] - Proof of good nitrogen content in soil, and absence of poisonnious contaminents [b]4* The soil at many place show dry cracking patterns[/b] - proof of a clay and sedimentary soil that once was moist. - sedimentary soil is a most rich soil substrate for growing crops - low humidity dry climate [b]5* One find bones[/b] - an importand source of phosphorus, and calcium [b]6* Estimation of the soil ph[/b] - presence of clay, and sedimantary soil indicate a neutral ph [b]7* One find presence of lizard[/b] - indicate hot climate - proof of presence of insect, some probably pest to some crops - adequate pest control will be needed [b]8* Observing fire pattern of a torch and an fire camp[/b] - indicate no wind at the time of observation - no need for wind breaker is surmised [b]9* Presence of the entities "Shades"[/b] No shades where seen in the study, but reliable witness reports indicate there actual presence.

[b]Part 2 [size=5]Pumking crop suitability to Necrovion study and recommendations[/size][/b] [b]Pumpkins benefit from a sunny location[/b] (see Necrovion study observation 2*) [b]Climate:[/b] All cucurbits are warm-season crops. They grow best during hot weather and cannot tolerate frost. Seeds will germinate at 15°C (60°F), but germinate best at 29-32°C (85°F-90°F). Pumpkins grow best at temperatures of 23-29°C (75°F-85°F) day and 15°C -21°C (60°-70°F) night. And prefer low humidity climate. (see Necrovion study observation 2*, 7*, 4*) [b]Soil Preferences[/b] Pumpkins benefit from a rich soil Pumpkins grow well on most well-drained soils. Sandy loams are ideal. They also grow well on clay soils, (see Necrovion study observation 4*) Well drained, sandy loams with pH range 6.5 - 7.5; avoid heavy soils. (see Necrovion study observation 4*, 6*) [b]Water/Irrigation[/b] Pumpkins and squashes are relatively deeply rooted (1.2-1.8 m; 4-6 ft) and can tolerate dry conditions fairly well. Plants also form adventitious roots at the notes and help with water uptake. However, extended dry periods will result in poor fruit set and/or poor fruit development and size. Plants tolerate wet conditions fairly well, but foliar diseases and fruit rots increase Critical demand periods: Establishment, 2-4 weeks after emergence, Bloom, Fruit set, Enlargement. (see Necrovion study observation 1*) [b]Weed Control[/b] some manual weed removal can be necessary at plant startup. As the plants cover the ground, they shade out many weeds. [b]fungus diseases[/b] Downy mildew, Fruit rot, Gummy stem blight, Powdery mildew Recommend harvesting only fully ripened fruit, practice good crop rotation as many of the rots are soil and debris related, good drainage and water management, and control of cucumber beetles and other insect pest. Dry climate help prevent or control (see Necrovion study observation 4*) [b]Insect pests[/b] Aphid, Leafminer, Looper, Melonworm, Rootworm, Spider Mite, Squash Vine Borer, Whitefly, Striped Cucumber Beetle, Western Corn Rootworm, Squash Bug, Western Corn Rootworm Insect control will be necessary (see Necrovion study observation 7*) Control can be with insecticide, or use of companion plants. [size=5][b]Conclusion: [/b][/size]pumpkins crop is well suit for Necrovion

essay about pumpkins and why they would relate to Necrovion. [b][size=4]I am in necrocion, studying pumpkins and necrovion relations[/size][/b] Study is done, observations dones, compiling results and doing report ...

[b][size=4](Community Garden Scarecrow[size=3] Contest[/size][/size][size=3]) [/size][/b] [b][size=5]Experimental ritual to make alive the necrovion scarecrow[/size][/b] [b]Foreword[/b] At first i have study the idea of trying to get an shade to fill the scare crow to animate it. But due to all the effort that where made thrue the ages to either control or catch a shade having been without success ... that have reject that field of research. That and the well know pact of protection between the shades and the necrovians. Then the idea of using liquid dust with its misterious properties still unknow was taken. Efforts to catch and harness that subtance was without success. And more so with its dangerousty ----- Page 156 [2008-08-07 03:14:05 - The Shade Ballance - Kh.] Khalazdad, having concluded that Willow’s incapacity to be harmed was his downfall in the House of Liquid Dust, makes his way to the entrance. He is confident that his vulnerability will allow him to be transformed. Khalazdad’s lungs begin to burn as his feet move the dust. The darkness is heavy, energized by an intangible force. He can feel the memory of another man, in the same spot, long…or soon, in here it is all the same. Breathing deeply, his lungs are ablaze, he feels weak and yet strong; a hollow voice booms out “At last you have come, I have waited so long…..” ------ Then next area of studie that was pursue, was to try to make a synthetic liquid dust,maybe in a control environnement one can stury and harness that substance safely. some interesting experiments, and many unsuccesfull ones made me put aside that option for now. As it became evident that success would not be avalable for the first of august. When time is avalable i plan to publish some of my hypotesis, in order that fellow scientific and mage continue to explore that area of research. [b]I was able to put together that experimental ritual base on research of know fact of MD and of similar .[/b] [size=5][b]Know facts:[/b][/size] [b]1 - The existance of pratical and working spell[/b] * mirror spell The Mirror Ritual spell makes whoever attacks you to fight himself as an oponent, just like fighting a mirror. It is both a warrior and a wizard spell * Ghost / Partial invisibility Spell At higher levels it allows temporary takeover of an other players name and chatting as if you were that player himself. It is said during Christmas ghosts are no longer ghosts. * Move lock Allows you to stop a player from moving away from the current location. * Locate character Tells you more info about the location of a character and the places he recently passed by *give vital [b]2 - The know fact that the old mages of Golemus where able to catch the spirit of Marin and put it in a statut with the berseker device[/b]. [b]3 - The aramor[/b] Aramors are well known throughout the Realm as they are one of the few entities who will aid anyone, without taking into consideration if their master is good, evil, sane or mad. Contrary to popular belief, there is no foreign spirit living inside the suit of armour, for the Aramor is alive and sentient through a permanent enchantment. [b]4 - The Barren[/b] There is a curse that forces those slain in battle by Necrovions to never truly die, thus transforming them into Defiled Souls. [b]5 - That it is possible to be change or transmute in MD as awiia is the living proof.[/b] [b]6 - That in MD it is possible to kill someone, with the apropriate killing tool[/b] [b]7 - The well know fact in magic of the power of the name, naming the object can be the object with the proper ritual.[/b] [b]8 - That heat can be a catalytic in making miraculous magic in MD, even raise the death, if its in sufficient amount.[/b] [b][size=6]Experimental ritual[/size][/b] [size=5]Preparation:[/size] Find an volounter to animate the necrovion scarecrow Find an necrovionian with that as a killing tool Get the mention spell know fact list Get an necrovion scarecrow [b]Note:[/b] the ritual need to take place at Christmas [size=6][b]Ritual to make alive the necrovion scarecrow[/b][/size] * Take a bone from the necrovion scarecrow, write the name of the volounter * Put back the bone in the necrovion scarecrow * Cast give vital on the volunter (to strengten) * Have the necrovian kill the volunter * The volunter should will itself in the necrovion scarecrow * Cast Locate character (to confirm that the volunter spirit is now in the necrovion scarecrow * Cast Move lock (to prevent it to wander) * Cast The Mirror Ritual (to seal his spirit in the necrovion scarecrow) * cast the Ghost / Partial invisibility Spell (to give his spirit form) Have a group of people giving heat and saying the ritual " volunter, i am giving you love with this heat, so you can be reborn as the necrovion scarecrow " " let the cycle of life begin anew " " let life become death, let death and love become life again " Then one must hope that the total amount and love and heat is sufficient to the accomplishment

remind suggestion: someting that easy (not many page to see) indicator either "voting is enable" or "next voting at xxxhxx", on first page that we use at all time (with chat one) if possible also i am with Burns 1 button to open would be nice also i tel that one need to open all first and then vote : because of all time it take to vote, if one dont do that it would be vote much later and much later each day ..

Plz, sing me for a free tryal plot, thanks

myself i did not unlock it yet, but it depend on how many items you buy in that section, to finally go to that being avalable to buy (each time yu buy out an item, the next one become avalable to buy) and maybe it as some requirements .. that i dont know (loyalty, experience or honour or other that you will have with time playing)

Since the meeting thread is long and as many discution, can you plz point out the final decision as how it work? - i am confuse as the number of checkpoints per quest and final scoring rules - i am confuse as the one quest per day mean? is it that the quest is to be code in one day, or the code already done, the quest is enable to be play on the one day thanks

Comments with the view point of a game player Whatever the solution that is desing - it will need to be implemented by Mur, or the Concil The players by themself dont have the mean to implement it - If you want to prevent futur quiting of players due to there death The reviving of a dead character need to be simple, and sure to be done in a timely manner. Me as a player , I would not find being dead fun, it would be equivalent of being banned ... how long i would tolerate being banned before quiting and going to play else where i dont know But sure the quicker i would revive would raise the chances i would still be playing and not be gone. So my sugestion, "keep it simple"
