[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]There was no misunderstanding about your post. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I, too, made a mistake in quoting, so my apologies. Mine was a reply to Elthen, except the last bit where I thought you meant 50:50 weight.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I'm with Tom here. Humans have teeth for both meat and plants for a reason, so I see nothing wrong in eating meat and meat products.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]But there's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, obviously.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Fig [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Congratz to the winners and special thanks to Nim for the idea of this quest. Not only did I learn from this, but also became an MD Wiki editor [/color][/font]

[quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1365280619' post='134712'] I disagree, its about 50:50, there is a group who stubbornly wont adept anyone helpful, and some that primarily swap between many. Im normally in group 1, and my reasoning is no one has actually ever come to me asking me to adept them with a good reason. Iv got the usual spam that people send out, and thats just spam. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Not even 50:50 for that matter. IMO new:old weight ratio should be at least 70:30. There are some who spend hours with newbies teaching them daily. Those are the real adept relationships.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Giving more weight to vets gives them another power to decide MP6's and choose when their time is over, etc. They are not the people needing help; the newbies are. I've seen many new players take adepting seriously and most definitely loyal. I don't see that in most of the vets, but again, that's only what I've seen and I may be wrong.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Elthen kinda stated the opposite, Chew. I've seen it for myself.[/color][/font]

[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]

[quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1365178083' post='134664'] 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" [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]It obviously varies then.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Elthen Airis' timestamp='1365166315' post='134658'] [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. Elthen[/i] [/quote] [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]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Seconded![/color][/font]

[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]

[quote name='Nava' timestamp='1364226795' post='134455'] When you hear the noise of a message in the chat box when you are offline. (Help me, I'm scared!!) [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]When you've seen this be repeated so many times in this thread! [/color][/font]

"Do you expect some sort of intervention for higher powers regarding the various issues faced in the quest?" [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]The only reason I said no was that even though it was poor, boring and not at all as good as expected, it was [b]our[/b] choice to join.[/color][/font][/font]

[quote name='BFH' timestamp='1364077011' post='134347'] So someone who really want to help a new player wont make their lives easier, instead will guide them to learn from their errors making them work for the answers and not making them a dependent player. I did that and it worked. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Exactly [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]The people who offer me that they be my adept are the ones whom I don't give spoilers (I don't give those to anyone) but rather the ones whom I ask questions to make them realize the answer themselves [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Oooh, when is the deadline? [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Precisely [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Do not be such a Protector that you are depending on people's choices whether they adept you or not. Instead, help them out first and develop that bond, so that it is YOU who's doing your adepts a favor, not the other way around just to keep an MP6 up. Once again, work hard and go to each person individually, and always try to avoid the easy way out [/color][/font]

[color=#006400][font=comic sans ms,cursive]I'd disagree, Nim.[/font][/color] [color=#006400][font=comic sans ms,cursive]The way Protectors are nowadays, and the way adepts are taken so lightly, it's the people who are doing the Protectors a favor by being their adepts. Thus, it's the people who have the power to change MP6's. It's not up to a Protector to decide how long s/he's gonna stay if s/he doesn't have support.[/font][/color] [color=#006400][font=comic sans ms,cursive]So I suggest that Change should go around talking to players [b]individually[/b] (instead of a forum post) and build those Protector-adept relationships, which will give her a stable foundation for being a long-time Protector.[/font][/color]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Happy bday Darth![/color][/font]

[quote name='Ivorak' timestamp='1363884746' post='134254'] More weight for less age or for more age? [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]IMO, more weight for less age, cause that's when the adept learns.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Adepting someone just to help make that person Protector should be less, whereas a real student-adept should have alot [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]But this is something not in my control.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Being balanced, not having heat, etc are things you can control and fix. I am free to come and play, yes, and I'd love to. But I can't...[/color][/font]
