DARK DEMON

I'd just like to know how many people would participate in a max 12-hour (from starting time) puzzle-quest in the Labyrinth, and if yes, then at what times on Saturday the 1st (ST), before I make the final preparations. It will be a race, of course, so participants may manage to finish it much earlier than 12 hours, but that is just the deadline :P The actual details and limitations of the quest would be revealed if there are enough participants to go ahead with it :) Edit: If anyone wants to participate but cannot make it on this day or on these times, please suggest in this thread :)

Like the earlier thread, this doesn't deserve an answer IMO

Wandering the Labyrinth, RP, interesting discussions, well-thought-of-quests, lazing about with Lin :))

That was not my point, but there is no reason to start an argument. Edit: Actually, I will speak, since it might just help depending on how you take it. Firstly, "didn't move fast enough for me"? You took almost a year to let me into the Guardians, and were extremely suspicious of me for another few months when I had the badge. Why? Because I was getting too much loyalty and you actually thought I was a spy, or taking over, or whatever. And then we see Valoryn who you completely accept as loyalty leader; a guy who joined Loreroot from one citizenship application in a small period of time and someone who you didn't have "requirements" for. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with Valoryn being a capable leader or not. What I'm trying to say is that such partiality is one of the reasons GoTR managed to be... undervalued (in the nicest terms) by someone like me who once greatly respected it. Secondly, "didn't jump at every suggestion"? Nobody ever helped or supported or even discussed a single suggestion of mine; nobody gave the guidance on "how-to-do-things-the-amazing-LR-way" which you guys are so strict about. Not only this but you refused to accept other ways completely; ways that might have successfully increased activity in Loreroot had you guided them. To end it, I just want to say that mismanagement, partiality, envy, lack of decision-making power, lack of unity during disagreement, etc are things that don't really give GoTR a good impression. Fixing the impression and management might just prevent such "attacks" in the future.

Yes, I do recall we had one of the most interesting discussions I've had this year in MD, on that day. We used to discuss a different topic in each scene which was quite enlightening, eg: darkness, balance, death, peace....

While what you said is absolutely true, it sadly cannot be applied to GoTR. There is envy, there is "actionless ambition", and there is lack of unity during a disagreement. (a perfect example is right here in this thread; conflicting opinions even when deciding what the alliance means to them and how it may be revived). If they can overcome THIS, and do some activity TOGETHER, and show everyone that they DO have a bond, only then will they be revived (the alliance core will, at least, even if the badge is not given).

Its a personal item, like phantasm's cloak for example. The effects are supposed to be limited to just me.

I personally think GotR should use this as an opportunity to get some more activity which would lead to its revival. Back in my early days I used to think GotR was the "well-organized mighty Loreroot alliance" who would train people to be like them, etc, but I was soon greatly disappointed due to many things. One, their complete lack of trust of outsiders when taking recruits. Two, their stubborn attitude not to accept anything or anyone different from them (in other words, someone trying to raise activity and encourage recruitment would be shunned, and being strict and running everyone through numerous tests etc was the "way to go"). From my personal experience, the "tests" made me think its a worthy goal/achievement to get in, but I soon realized there was absolutely nothing GoTR-related going on in Loreroot. This is why I strongly think that if the alliance is ever to come back, it really has to show some activity. I'll end by saying again that this is a perfect opportunity to show "Loreroot love for GoTR" which may lead to the alliance's revival.

No no, these people do really good helpful things that balance the bad things they do, eg: this, and hence no blame can be put on them. (sarcasm)

I do believe it is a suggestion, not a statement of the current system.

Happy birthday :)

I thought of exactly the same, Rophs

Also "SIEGE" battle cause maybe somehow linked into it? :P

So... what happened to this?

This thread is only for Ring logs; please do not post anything else. There are certain clues (or questions) in the logs to understand/interpret many things. I will award silver to anyone who manages to find them and "answer" them (only through forum PM or ingame PM) and then slowly reveal them here myself. For example's sake: Who is DD's master? :D The First Twist [spoiler] : Dark Demon holds up his hand and closes his eyes : Dark Demon twists the Ring gently around his finger; it immediately starts giving off a glow Dark Demon: *whispers* The doors have been opened... hmm... Dark Demon: The Door of Illumination. Now this seems familiar... where did we last see this again? Dark Demon: It doesn't matter. You are through. That's what matters. Dark Demon: *smiles slightly* You're right, so what happens now? Dark Demon: Now, you can think. You must think about the sources of knowledge. The very roots of that which shed light over what you did not know. That which opened up paths for you to follow. Dark Demon: But it doesn't stop there, does it? Dark Demon: Of course it doesn't. Similarly, you must think about that darkness which tempered you. That which stopped you from going out of bounds. Which controlled you and kept you on a set path. Dark Demon: *nods, his eyes still closed* Yes... Dark Demon: Do not stop there either. Think about why all this was so, and you will then understand the Door of Illumination... Dark Demon: *sits down cross legged at the center of the path and stares at the Ring as its glow fades away, whispering* Thank you.... Master : Lintara tilt's her head, slightly wide-eyed and obviously confused. Dark Demon: *opens his eyes and turns to them, smiling slightly* Unexpected of course. Dark Demon: Each time I twist the Ring, the infinte doors of the Labyrinth open. I will meditate on the revelations of the first door and then set off tomorrow to every part of the Labyrinth. Dark Demon: Then, when I return, the Ring will be twisted again and the process repeats until I am one with the Labyrinth. Lintara: *nods* So a game of hide-and-seek now? *looks about* Won't be easy. Dark Demon: Hrmm? Hide from who? Lintara: Oh. *chuckles* Sorry, did not mean like that. Just that the Labyrinth is huge. Dark Demon: *sighs and nods* Indeed. It is not a short easy path. Lintara: Just... *looks down* Don't catch the circle curse. *chuckles* It's when you start walking in circles and can't find any other path for days. Dark Demon: *smiles* Not to worry. I can always see the doors and I know I have to pass through them. Lintara: *giggles and nods* You do. [/spoiler]

It wasn't my opinion/words, it was taken from a respectable source ;)

Laby was/is never considered a proper land since it has had absolutely no plans/development whatsoever. But that will change :D

Don't forget Laby :D

Yes, maybe fix resources themselves first then (aka finally unstack them) before working on land-level trade... indeed... and then implement land treasuries on the same code (i.e allow X number of a resource to be removed instead of the entire stack)

My instant thoughts after what you said, just for the sake of an idea development suggestion: Yes maybe it could work and could be a way to encourage trading among lands, eg: Loreroot needing water to "water" trees hence increase gate security, MB needing lumber/branches maybe. Necro and GG already have high AP costs, so...

YES! I was typing the same in a much longer way but you beat me :P

Gosh, I misclicked and didn't see this second page of the topic. Chill. Also, I was in a hurry at the time.

I spent a WP. I spent resources. People who I got the resources from will be able to tell you that I've traded from them, and you can look in my inventory and see that they are no longer there. If you don't want to believe it, you don't have to. Please refrain from making false assumptions next time. I also don't really see how avoiding/cheating the price of making the item would be a "genius part".

:P

Oh yes, Rophs' mention of the Judges :) .
