Nice story I like the ending But i must be laking i miss the joke, seem make sence to run over snake ---------------- the only thing that i see is that yu can switch 2 letters "BETTER NATE THAN LEVER," to "BETTER LATE THAN NEVER," but still dont see fun

Some ideas There is an saying that probably is in many language or culture if its not broken dont fix it That gem of popular culture as often some pratical true What bring that toughts of tightening rules in moderating forum? I ask that myself, because, i dont remember seeing things that would have choc me I think that most here are matur enought to wisthan some rudeness in some occasion, or some mocking But note i am not for slugging fest of evident insults, or arrassement of continual mocking on some individual ... But i am not aware of such occurance in forum What make me afraid of tightening rules, and more so in looking of the tone that this thread was going to ... possible kind of easy moderating, an 0 tolerance of whitewasing and possible banning I am not saying that its the intentions, but that is an possible outcome that i think would be much more damaging than some occasionnal occurance of rudeness. I think that on occasions even some hot exchanges can be not only acceptable but an sing of an heltly forum where real exchange can be going. one point was brought, saying that when there was positive and negative rating, it may have been an venting mechanisim that can prevent rought posting ... maybe there is some true in that.. or one can even say that that negative or positive rating can be an auto regulating by the community, showing in an way what is acceptable or not. Now talking for myself, i see myself as an polite, and mostly nicely talking (excepting evident bad english spelling) ... but i can thinking back and see that on some occasions i have post strongly either my view point or my rebuke of some other view points ... but i think that all was remaing in what was acceptable for mature players. If such occasions would have been with new ruling subject of heavy warning and possible banning .... i dont think it would have been right. Up to now i think morator have done an good job balancing an nice forum, and an healtly forum Balance and good sence should prevail in my opinion

"Have any of you read the original post? The changes only include: If us mods decide that you've caused a conversation to descend into insults, the topic will be locked and you'll be given a warning. If you use a racial/sexist/homophobic/etc., slur then you will be banned for a period of time. " Change i am confuse with this thread, ok you say that but if so why did you say in this theread "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" if i read you, almost all is rude ? ... if its rude its not defacto insults ... so why bring the subject if yu begin to say that rude is equal of ensult and subject to ban ... then thats IS NOT AN MODERATE AND REASONNABLE POSITION and when you say to DST , message me in doubt ill say to you what to say ... its either sarcastic, or an honest offer of cencur of the worst kind ... and by the way i am from Québec province, its still part of Canada, but one can still talk there .. --------------- So i repeat, ok for an moderate forum, but not an whitewash forum that one can only say aprove words ...

Id like to say that DST as valid points I am for an forum that is moderate (and moderate the key word) NOT an whitewash forum reading from 1er chewett post we see an dangerous progression of planned cencur 1er "to descend into insults" OK FOR THAT 2e "descend into rudeness" THAT IS NOT GOOD ITS TO SUBJECTIVE AND WHITEWASHING 3e Troll ban THAT IS EVEN MORE FUZY AND CAN WHITE WASH EVERYTHING dst Post is interesting and make good points pointing that its even getting tone, and mocking BAN I would like to nicely point that if we go in that extRems Chewett you should have been ban, in starting your topic for going as king in saying that you do it having finding that the other oponents where not wortly to being king/queen IT COULD HAVE BEEN SEEN AS RUDENESS RIGHT FROM THE START and an exemple of mocking that i think had been seen as fun and acceptable from community is the thread that DST made herself piss piss princess --- so in conclusion ,, yes for keeping forum MODERATE ... but in an MODERATE way not in what can quickly become whitewashing or cencur

if yu give me enought wiia i can give you skin fat gaz , free my pimps would provide

welcome

Chewett, my speed was normal and ok with going everywhere i had links .... as i had problem going MD in waiting for connection to MD site (1 minute) (and then page begin to load) i had time to go forum, load forum, log in forum, make an gogle search to chech if i had good speed ... and try an few links i have for MD ... you know what i told you in post above so either, its something in route from canada to your isp for MD or its something your isp is doing like trotling, or makind an wait time when one request MD page or its someting that is in MD script .. that make an delay or its the cloud thing , are yu still using it? is it working properly? is it an problem of DSN (the thingy that resolve the name adresss to the number adress?) i certainly dont know as i am not knowledge enought, but maybe you can look and rull out some of those Tom note: if i can get almost everywher in web around earth, without delay or big lag ... what is so special with where new MD location? and like i said before the MD moving i was without never delais or when walking i had often to quick for MD ,,,, got message ... and if i had an problem, i had problem with going every where not only MD ---- retryed and seem better now but seem somewhat slower than before .. but not that huge problem as i told .. about 8-9 sec walking

It is getting worst !! really 1 min to get to the adress http://magicduel.com/ and then another 1 min to get to the log in page ... after voting i try to move around an little and time time to move scene to scene fully load 6 time i took 13 seeconde moving to next scene from clicking arrow and timing to get fully load new scene going back to wind sanctuary, i got some better step of 9 secounde for scene change (its more than i usually have)

I am experiencing always now what look like an delay (few secound) for communication to site, then loading of page go .. about same speed as before i think but i see an lsoweness in loading page enoutht that page look like many :http://magicduel.com/img/skin/default/topr.jpg that make all the page height, before making the full load (its someting that was not apening before for me, or was so quick i didnot see that) and some time i get huge delay and page dont load completely ... like all page loaded but chat dont load from Canada province of Québec using firefox , on windows

id say my conspiration theory was close to reality maybe :) http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8052-conspiracy-theories/page-9 who as push the red button? and who push the green button? Chewett? :P

Chewett pushed the red button he will wait 2 days then push the green button and be elected king being an hero :P

my comment will be also that real garden in real life if more fun or more likely not an burden like in MD The real nice part on an real life garden, is you get to eat fresh fruits and vegetables .... all else was to that end and i will say more so, in real life, i dont go each day talking to my plants ... in fact i dont talk at all to my plants i just when there was not much rain for an few days, give an look ... and put water if necessary ... and say for tomato, remove suckers and when its fruit recolting time, i just go when i want an tomato, take what is red, ... thats all in conclusion for me an garden is not an look at, talk to plant or smell air .... its do minimun to get good fresh fruits for what i see in md its doing foolish things (i,e, not real and for no reasons) and one get nothing for that (except warn to not say same thing each day) its real not funny or fun for me thinking ... but some seem to like it ... so more for them and as for quest ... i participate in one from community garden, i did it like if it was real ... and LOL winner win only because nice drawing ... not in like real gardening if community garden make quest ... do it as an gardening quest, not an art quest or at least say so in the begining Tom

another food for thought i dont have smart phone or tablet,, just an old PC but its comming of age, and many use those tools how playable MD is on those tools? probalby many new player will want to use those instead of an old PC

comment to mouch banner advertising more so if moving or flash , if irritating for old players, ... think it even be more repulsing to new players ? so maybe an boost short term in revenue, but if no new players .... decline will be more

Food for toughts about games lifecycle, players kind, way to make an free and get some revenue package those links even if not directly aplicable to MD, they can be in part some food for toughts http://www.raphkoster.com/2006/06/16/the-lifecycles-of-a-player/ http://anemonesoft.com/files/tutorial-html/introduction_to_browser_based_online_game_design_and_development.html http://www.altergamer.com/mmorpg-lifecycle/ http://www.altergamer.com/mmorpg-lifecycle/2/ http://www.altergamer.com/mmorpg-lifecycle/3/ http://sheepthediamond.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/crutches/ ---- I think that many have good toughts to wanting to improve MD, its retention of new players, and money making from MUR, concil, advertising, .. and most players But i want to point out, that looking at players kinds model and psychology would be usefull to make plan improve Same looking at some comments others forum have talk about life cylce of games, marketing stragegy and money model and note: MD is not first game, and other games have grow and die, maybe we can get learning from other games either mistake, or learning and i will comment that by my xperience, i saw some greath games died .. because of imbalances anyway posting hoping some will read that stuff and get some idea ... aplicable and maybe if some find some interesting references , can post link or reference in this thread or if its give some idea of strategy ... Tom Pouce

suggestion (trying to make the blade for the rasor of Chewett) make another MD shop section illimited stock and its first item (costing like everything else only 1 credit) token shield (one use) this would enable someone to buy and put one on one of his chosen creature, one he dont want token on it and first token he will buy wont go on any creature with the token shield, but on one random creature without shield ... but at same time it make each token shield that one as , having made its use .. so he will buy more if he want to shield its creatures again that way one can even token exactly one creature he want but it will cost much token shield , for each token he put

about randomness id say that randomness is often from to numerous interractions, or to many initial conditions to know and make an lack of pratical model that would predict an outcome for exemple dice (not tampered with), each throw outcome would be concider random as one cannot predict it, but one would say he can tel statistically the probablility in an greath number of thow of the outcome But if one could know the exact throw condition and control all variables (geometrie, mass, acceleration, friction, temperature .... of dice, and an mechanical throwing machine, and thrownes upon surface and ... ), one could predict the outcome of an throw but since its not pratical, we concider it random in many fields of science, computer and instrumetation have enable scientist to make model that describe phenomen that was impossible before having those tools.

Not fund raising but relate asking is it possible to code for less bandwidth and so lowering cost? I am under impression, game is slow and load much info that could safely not be like all my creatures, if i look them, all could be load once, and looking at each done only in client side ... all that info for: cloud player detective www.google-analytics.com is it really necessary? when i vote , is it necessary to load each time link mixing order, and also load advertising? ... same thing, if i look what is avalable in md shop, seem to me every thing is load again each time i look at different sections ... why not load once, refresh only if i buy? I am sure coder know better than me what can be safely remove and keep MD game secure but lower very much badwidth

Happy birthday to you two!

Happy birthday!!

MRAlyon :) your Mini BHC - Statless edition seem interesting and will probably be an nice success, and full of participants i just want to say i hope that only participant will be with head or attakable ... because for my own reasons i don't plan to participate, and dont wish to be attakabke especially if so plz say it before hand, ill make me out of the way when your competition is going on Tom

I fully agree with DST both of her posts and having seen your performance for about 1 year in that project, i really wonder why you have council's/mur's approval and support but its only my personnal opinion Tom Pouce

killing is now an wide spread tool .... maybe to wide spread? Molquert will now appear whenever anyone in the realm dies ... to help revive more quest making by players and concil sposorin some quest (its an very good thing)

As it is now, that one need to be log off to see the rating i find it ackward so i dont like that since i wont bother except to look if an special posting as rating its like that rating dont exist anymore for me, i look the forum login ... so i dont see any rating and that way i am really not thinking to rate things ... well maybe some exceptionnal posting would warrant me to look at rating and then switch back to login and rate so i in general dont like how its made now reading forum twice , its not fun ... either make no rating at all, or make it one see rating and can vote login thats my suggestion
