As for judges, since you cannot log on to a pc, (weird though that bugs@magicduel.com cannot log onto a pc or wait till he gets his hands on one) The judges are Burns and Kyphis.

I have family, i got visit them, i travel, surprisingly i have a life. [many rude words removed]

I can't speak for others but I will reveal my entry (although lots of people already know it).
My entry was coded as hazelnut.

Also if you would have read careful the entries, another one of the winners would have been revealed since he gave away his identity in the first few sentences.

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I too, would have liked to see simple names of the winners. This makes it unnecessarily difficult for people, as well as you to make it this way.[/color][/font]

@rhaegar: The whole point of giving a quest feedback form is so that i can get info on how to improve my quests. did you fill it?

@ chewett: I will not post the list according to the positions. You can go check in the logs or ask the individual players. You can yourself post the list here if you want. Or the winners can come forward stating as to which entry is theirs. I will not do it.

I did not post a loser list. If you think you lost without gaining anything by submitting stuff in that quest, that you didnt learn anything new, ONLY THEN you have lost.

Also, i didnt post which post belonged to whom. I just posted a list of players who didnt get placed. In a random order. thats what I did with the winners. As I said, If you are that curious about who won which place, you can check the creature logs. I am sure everything will be clear. or you can ask the players personally which place they won.

Also, you should check the scoring guidelines before commenting on how the judges gave you scores.

It may lead to disagreement between people. One person may not agree with the other person's point of view. It better if things aren't direct. Also, if someone comments negatively about an entry, people who wrote the entry might feel embarassed if it is revealed who wrote what.

Since the entries are public, I'm sure everyone recognises their own entries. If the prizes were given away to the wrong person I'm sure there would surely be a hue and cry about it. If you really want to know who won what, I suggest you go find the details in the logs or ask someone to get the details for you.

As for the judges, the names of both the judges are pretty clear from the score cards. Nothing about them is hidden. you just need to know where to look.

Winners in alphabetical order:

Addy
dst
Eara Meraia
Lashtal
Plix plox
Zyrxae

I think the names of the judges are pretty obvious from the score card.

Giving 2 silver coins to everybody who didnt place in the quest. PLease see me at howling gates today evening at 7.30pm Server Time.

[i]Since there is already a big enough discussion about resources, i don't feel necessary to create a new topic for what i'm about to say.

Since memory stones, water, now sand, etc. are limited to certain land affiliates it is quite difficult for others not affiliated to obtain any of those. While it is true that every land has the right to "rule" over their resources and do with them what they like, i still feel that others shouldn't pay 1 gold coin for a memory stone or something, just to name a value. Other than using the resources of a certain land for your own gain, i believe they were created for a different purpose. And that purpose, i reckon, is another reward people could receive when say solve a quest. Therefore, Golemus Golemicarum's population for example could come up with a repeatable quest with a reward of a memory stone. That way the population will have a certain responsibility over how they distribute their resources to other players. And that would bring up the number of quests created, which has declined lately. Moreover, repeatable quests that are always active for anyone to make.

Just a matter to think over.

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]So far I have taken part in many memory stone trades and I must say, the price is very reasonable after some negotiation, if something is charged in the first place. Usually it's timeless dust (won't state the amounts) for mem stones, but once I paid a silver or two for 15+ mem stones.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]In my opinion, this type of interaction is good and develops understanding and should be promoted.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Majority of the time, all resources (eg: water) are donated by respective land members not only to me but others too. Only when the amount required is big is a price charged. I haven't seen any land rule over it's resources whenever someone needs it, though that's only what I have seen personally.[/color][/font]

I have never had this experiance, and in the most part i have had people attempt to charge 1 silver PER memory stone, stating that "its not my fault, its GG law"

First of all thank you very much for waiting patiently for the results. My apologies for making you awesome folks wait for so long.

I am enclosing the score cards as given by the individual judges and the final score card, along with the guidelines I gave them for scoring.

Now, I ask you all a favour. PLease give me some feedback using this feedback form: [url="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1818iWPw9MCF0hKoVxH4D_c9Zhe-cLTE6JRwpYRMhPzI/edit?usp=sharing"] Feedback form[/url]


Thank you very much for participating in the quest. Your rewards will get to you shortly

Edit: Minor clarification: There were meant to be three judges initially, but one judge had some real life issues and didnt have the time needed to give each entry the attention it deserved. Hence only two judges.

For years I've been working on an idea and recently I've come up with a way to implement it and I'm finally in the right state of mind to pull it off. To this end I need to create an introduction quest. I require assistance in coding and puzzle making. Anyone interested in helping please contact me ASAP.

Possibly I will be able to find rewards for your assistance, but I can't make any promises. This Quest is not for profit but is for entertainment, because after all what are games about? If you absolutely need compensation for your work we can discuss payment and I'll find something out of pocket to give you.

Thanking you for your time in advance,
-Jester

So finally u have realised that the official role of the Noobs is to get owned by Vets hehe.

well that being said ... would u mind giving your dragons to me as i can put them in good use.

please stop DD i'm getting sudden emotional high and lows because of you

Just an update and a thank you to everyone that helped me by viewing it I came third in the competition with 4500 votes The winner got 7250 In case anyone was wondering aha

Thank you all and also happy late easter

DD I´d like to give my 2 cents too. If anyone or anything can attack you or hurt you or lead you to something you don´t want try the following.

ALWAYS ask yourself WHY you´re in this position and do not think one single second of others or the situation itself which "caused" it. I experienced that all situations which I was judging I was a big part of and I had definitely something to do with it - it was always me who was able to change! And then the understanding grew that I will never be able to change anyone else and that I do not even what to change anyone except myself. And this is the work you have to do and you will be able to do - work only on yourself - and this is not selfish it´s the opposite even if people try to tell you that you only care for yourself ...

All analysis afterwards will always lead to the fact that YOU can change YOUR part in a situation and NOTHING else. Once you are able to life this with consciousness you will start growing faster and things will move faster. That´s all for the start - take it or leave it - it´s up to you what YOU do with it.

All the best on YOUR way. And never forget it´s YOUR way and noone else should judge you for what or who you are. And at the same time accept if people have problems with your way of being and do never judge them or what they do.

DD, I understand why you hurt. I went through the same thing not too long ago. But trust me. Things mellow out. Your heart heals. Your soul matures. You learn what your really all about, slowly. And I did me when I gave up. I pulled back, stopped trying to do huge jobs all at once, and I've found inner peace. It's ok my friend. Time will heal all wounds. And when it's all said and done, people will still accuse you of being in the wrong. I'm not saying your right or wrong. I picked my road, and I'm sticking to it. If others want to think I'm selfish, or doing what I do for secret reasons, let them, they don't affect me at all, and that eats them from the inside out every night. I just laugh.

So just relax DD. learn to do you. Once the trolls you believe you see can't get to you anymore, they'll stop, trust me on that one ( )

Instead of giving up totally, I suggest you take things slow and patiently. By giving up, you'll end up losing interest in the game and no good will come of that. Keep goals. First short term. Then long term. Let the short term be the stepping stones to the long one.

I may end up being slapped by the advice I just gave like usually am. But I don't like people giving up on things. So those were my 2 cents.

i hope you're under the right person's care. Botox isnt something to be triffled with. I hope you feel better.

Bottox is a great strategy. Applying small bits of pressure on specific areas helps control headaches a lot.

We hope to see you without headche for a long time

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]There's one thing I've decided.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I'm quitting the big games in this realm. Too long have I struggled to fight against what I believe is wrong, and now I'll just stop. I can't take it anymore. Let the big guys (aka higher powers in this realm) do whatever they want; I won't do anything against it. No big actions such as going for Protector or reviving CoE from me any more.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I'll be that quiet observer, happily playing his part in MD by helping out those who need it.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Not a single person in this realm judges someone by looking at intentions and automatically assumes negatively, and I'm tired of it now. I never do anything for selfish reasons, yet I get opposed at most of the things I do, or be seen as just trying to get cool stuff by some.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]If this sounds like I'm giving up, so be it. [/color][/font]

The majority, if not all of my interaction with you, you have done this to me. Food for thought.

See todays issue with a perfectly innocent mood panel statement

No worries Nim, im actually glad you posted that

This thread isn't for those that want to vote for em. It's for those that want a few extra without the wait :3
