[quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1360924317' post='132669'] DD you haven't seen unfair HC -.- [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I know, you've told me that before. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]The point is: Do you not agree that people would be more willing to participate in HC if it was fairer and if the excuse, "HC is unfair", was not used all the time?[/color][/font]

[quote name='Burns' timestamp='1360923643' post='132665'] HC is way too fair already. Give us the ability to take heads again, that's when unfair comes into play. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]But jokes aside, you have to admit it's quite unfair still, no?[/color][/font]

[quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1360920325' post='132661'] All those involved with this please contact me on the bugs@ email address sending all work you have been given and completed. thank you. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Done [/color][/font]

[quote name='No one' timestamp='1360871699' post='132645'] There is just one solution, simple and without disregarding out any MP level: 1. separate the HC per MP levels 2. HCs for MPs should not interfere. Each should start in a separate week of month for exactly maximum 1 week. 3. each MP level should vote to start / not start the HC that month * week 1, MP3 vote * week 2, MP4 vote, MP3 play * week 3, MP5 vote, MP4 play * week 4, MP5 play 4. each stage ends within given time. If targets are not reached for each stage's time, the HC for that MP ends with no rewards even if it was close or even if it was in stage 2 or just stage 1. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]This idea is quite good, though there's one thing wrong... [/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400] [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]All MP's should have HC's together, not at different times. This would be because a certain section of the realm would always be busy with HC for one week, and many events taking place may be missed. If HC takes place for 1 week for all MP's, it'll leave the rest of the month for events/meetings for everybody. If it's spread out, there won't be a single time when all MP's can meet together for an event, gathering, etc. Also, this would mean that certain spells won't be castable for many weeks if it's spread out with different MP's at different times...[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]One week may be extremely less if people keep using alts to take heads and log off. If there's no time limit, it gives people hope that they can still work again and win. But with one week, nobody would be able to even participate if people take heads and log out. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Hence, may this be combined with my idea of score increasing with the number of heads, not 1/3 of it? [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]EDIT: The main thing, in my opinion, which should be changed is the stupid excuse used for everything that HC is unfair. It's all what people say, and that's exactly what doesn't make people participate. All the reasons eventually lead to one reason: HC is unfair [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]The current scenario ---> participants complain ---> complaints get shunned using the excuse "HC is unfair" ---> the people who shun the participants say themselves that HC is out of participants ---> why?[/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400] Because of the[b] 3 words.[/b][/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Make HC fair. That's what's wrong.[/color][/font] [quote name='No one' timestamp='1360920299' post='132660'] Logging out is just a way to disturb the contest but in the end the competition is just a bit different. [/quote] (sorry, forgot to add this earlier) [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Umm... it's not a "bit" different, unfortunately. I would have probably won this HC long ago if people hadn't stolen and logged out with the head ball numerous times.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Increase the rate at which you get heads? Get more than 1 head (maybe 3?) at each interval?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]EDIT: That would still slow HC down cause people can use alts to take the head ball and log out. A better solution would be that the score should increase by the number of your heads, not 1/3 of it. This would allow people to get their score higher faster, and make HC end faster cause alts stealing heads wouldn't make as much a big difference. [b]One of the main reasons HC lasts so long is that many people steal heads and log out, whether or not they are alts.[/b] [/color][/font]

[quote name='No one' timestamp='1360871699' post='132645'] Sorry DD. There is no point in combating anything you said. It is pure idiocy grown and promoted by some like you. If you want to debate on that, please open another topic. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms, cursive][color=#006400]LOL [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms, cursive][color=#006400]And then people call me ignorant???[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms, cursive][color=#006400]I'm the one telling them to advance and that there's nothing to be scared of. If yuo want to call it pure idiocy. go ahead, I don't mind cause I did NOT start it.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms, cursive][color=#006400]Blaming me for no reason... pfft.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]This has happened again now![/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I stole 1k heads from Shem in Necro, and then ran away to the East. Two counts, and my heads halved twice and now they're 265, and score's decreasing too.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]It always happens whenever I get over 100 heads, it seems.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I don't know why, but I feel someone's messing with me behind the scenes or something, cause this is just ridiculous. I can never get a high score![/color][/font]

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1360768538' post='132592'] Advancing to mp5 is the normal life cycle of a player. If some choose to not go through it then they should be excluded from the global view. It's like in a Gauss distribution: extreme points are not taken into account. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]It's not normal anymore. It's not that "some" choose not to advance. Currently, "most" don't want to advance. Exclude most from the global view? Let MP5's decide what's best for MP4's? Time's have changed. I know MP5's have had the experience of being MP4 so they should know what's good, but MP4 now isn't like it was in the past, like Shadowseeker pointed out.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Extreme points aren't, I know, but this isn't extreme. Not advancing to MP5 early is completely normal now; people delay for many many months.[/color][/font] [quote name='Tom Pouce' timestamp='1360784849' post='132599'] For me combat is not usefull in MD [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Yes, exactly, cause you know you'll never be stronger than the current grinders. But we still fight, cause it's fun.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1360769577' post='132594'] So, they'd rather stay as the strongest larva ön a branch than turn into a butterfly and fly into a bigger world? Weird. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms, cursive][color=#006400]Unfortunately, that's the case, yes.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]The only true reason MP4's delay advancing, as I did too, was that they are scared, simply.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Scared of what?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]1) Extremely strong MP5's, leading to a firm belief that they will be completely destroyed after advancing to MP5. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]2) They would only be able to win if someone lets them win.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]3) No meaning in combat. You can aim to be the strongest MP4 around and actually work towards that, but you simply cannot work to be the strongest MP5. You'll remain weak in front of some MP5's all your life, making all struggle pointless, so why advance?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]EDIT: Some may deny this, but it's unfortunately true. I get loads of PMs about this...[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Happy b-days! [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Happy b-days [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Apart from that, there are many reasons why I'd definitely agree to changing HC:[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]1) Since I joined MD, people have only been winning by hiding idling. Firstly, it's boring for those players, cause there's no action at all. Just sacrificing a few days which could have been put to better use.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]2) As Chew said, the reason HC was tweaked was to force people (who wanted to win) to stay online. This didn't work. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]3) I've seen many get frustrated cause they can't cast spells. They would have tolerated had there actually been competition, but since HC is so meaningless, it's as if they're being deprived of these spells for a long time until HC ends, for no reason.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Fine, I admit I whined about it, etc. But that never made me quit.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]What made me quit was a bug which decreased score+heads wherever you went, and this lasted for many hours.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I've stated this before numerous times.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]It decreased my score from well above 2k to 400, and then I stopped caring.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Nim, I know this is kinda irrelevant, but I never blamed it on BHC. I just suggested that BHC should not be held at the same time cause it was one of the reasons, not the only reason. Maybe I could have still won, or for that matter, maybe I can still win if I put loads of effort. But the bugged HC doesn't encourage me to [/color][/font]

[quote name='Change' timestamp='1360586271' post='132438'] He [b]wants[/b] to help the community, that is, he probably [b]likes[/b] helping the community. Therefore, helping the 'community', while it might be called selfless, is a selfish act. Also, does everyone like what he's doing? Maybe some people don't want people to have a punching bag, thus he's harming that part of the community by his actions. No one is stopping him from helping the 'community' by being a punching bag. Ironically, what you want to let him do is harm the 'community' by being a punching bag, and something else simultaneously. So you're saying that rules should be bent around someone's selfish wish to help the 'community'? I sure hope that someone doesn't decide to help the community by trying to make people learn to fight for themselves (and using multiple accounts simultaneously to do so). Yes, it's arguable whether or not Fang setting a consistent ritual for people to practise against encourages people to learn how to fight. One could legitimately take the position that it doesn't help people learn. One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. [/quote] Therefore, helping the 'community', while it might be called selfless, is a selfish act. [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]It would be a selfish act if he had he been gaining anything from it. I strongly disagree with your perception.[/color][/font] Maybe some people don't want people to have a punching bag, thus he's harming that part of the community by his actions. [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Definition of harm, since you CLEARLY do not know, is to deliberately inflict a physical injury. A book sitting there is very useful to those who want to make good use out of it. Is it harming those who don't want to read it? lol [/color][/font] So you're saying that rules should be bent around someone's selfish wish to help the 'community'? [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I never said that, nor should it happen. Please read my post again if you still don't understand.[/color][/font] One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I can't agree more, honestly. But I must say, that is irrelevant to Fang's case. Neither is he a terrorist, nor is he fighting for freedom. Take advantage of him if you like, he doesn't mind that, but he's not the one attacking, we are.[/color][/font] [quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1360590990' post='132458'] If i put up an alt as a punching bag, would I be allowed to do it too? Tomorrow if tom, dick and harry request the same, would they be allowed too? And followed by them, every alternate player in MD asks for the same should they be allowed as well? There was a place where people used themselves and their alts as punching bags. It was known as GGG - Golden Globe Gazebo. Initially they didnt mind being boxed and kicked. Later on, All they wanted to do was to be tapped gently on their backs. And anyone who wanted to learn boxing or kickboxing was thrown out and banned from that place. And oh, since everybody thought that learning the hard way was bad for them, MD became empty. And very very few, less than a handful knew the basics of combat. I understand what you are trying to do here fang. It is appreciated by many, disliked by the rest. But if the council makes an exception for you, they'd have to make an exception for every single player who asks for what you are asking.

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Allowing isn't the case her at all in my opinion. He's been doing it for a long time. Many of us have alts which we set up when MP3's, etc need them for losses/wins. Tell every single of those people to stop doing that, why just Fang?[/color][/font] But if the council makes an exception for you, they'd have to make an exception for every single player who asks for what you are asking. [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Fang is already exceptional. The "every single player" you are mentioning isn't MP7, nor has an Illusionist's Meteor in his inventory. When they work hard enough to get those, feel free to ask Council for making an exception.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]There is nothing wrong at all in this.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Look at Fang's intention in all this. Is it to abuse? No. He's just helping out and sacrificing his whole account for the Community.[/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400] So many fighters appreciate Fang, I've seen it myself. To some he's an honor donor, some lower their exp on him, etc.[/color][/font] [color=#000000][font=Georgia,]"You are not allowed to have (idle or active) multiple accounts in the same or surrounding scenes - log them out or keep them apart.
