DARK DEMON

[quote name='Tarquinus' timestamp='1359095168' post='131391'] Dark Demon does not consider himself a member of the Eclipse. Those who do are working together, planning together. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Not bragging at all, but if I had not done anything, Amoran would have remained dormant at the Inn, you would have probably not returned, and the Eclipse broken up and not united. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]As many people told me, strange that the spark had to come from me, and not a current member of the Eclipse.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Since before the personal request month started, I was noticing fellow Lorerootians awaiting the return of the Eclipse. It had appeared they lost all hope. Some of them were awake at times, some logging in just for active days, and some not awake at all.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I had nothing to do with CoE --> I never thought of joining any other than the Guardians of the Root. Nor will I join CoE if and when it returns.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]So yeah, why I worked for it?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Firstly, this would prove that my land people can trust me; that I'll always be loyal to Loreroot. I wanted them to acknowledge that there is now another who is one with the forest, permanently. This is a service to my land and it's people. As a service to my fellow Lorerootians, I wanted to make sure they weren't forgotten; that the tiny hope in their hearts that CoE would return was still there and could grow bigger.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Secondly, I believed that Amoran and Tarq had not finished their part in this realm, even though they were no longer seen at the time. When dst told me they had left because of her, I swore I'd make sure they returned. Not only because I deeply respect them, but that I never had a chance to really interact with them. I wanted them to be more active. I heard so much about them before and, out of all people, they shouldn't have had their alliance taken for a ridiculous reason. The activity of the realm keeps shifting, you can't really expect someone to stay active all year round. I'm also quite sure that 95%+ people in the realm wanted to see them back.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Third, I wanted to restore the same Lorerootian spirit at the time of Firs, and is now no longer there. It would be incomplete without the appearance of the people of one of Loreroot's alliances. Their return would give people a spark of hope. I didn't want them to hold their head over the "good ol' days". Instead, make the future the way you want it to be, if not better. There is still a chance...[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Last comes the selfish part.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I've always wanted to be unique; to do something even the greatest people failed to do. If I could succeed in reviving CoE, that dream of mine would come true. It's a matter of pride to restore what the forest had lost.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]So many of you support CoE, that I have seen. And hence, I have one small request for all:[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]PLEASE, do not think negatively of the forest. There are people who do, and I just can't bear it when I see it. The forest is a wonderful place, and I'm even willing to sacrifice myself on behalf of it. Shem, Mya, Tarq, Amoran, Poe... they are all such amazing people. Will you really get swayed by those who try to put up flame topics against them and their land?[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#0000cd]*gets slapped, his drink goes flying into dst's face*[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#0000cd]*grabs another bottle, takes a sip and spills the rest on Shem* [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Oops...?[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#0000cd]*breaks Rhaegar's jaw to snap him out of daydreaming*[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#0000cd]*stands, holding his head up high, victorious*[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#0000cd]*gobbles those up too and burps*[/color][/font]

[quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1359016166' post='131330'] So you are campaigning for support and not for the vote while amoran campaigned for votes? And now your wish means nothing to you and you were just wanting to see how many votes you'd get? Meaning you prevented people who really wanted wishes from getting what they want by campaigning for a wish that means nothing to you? Wow. This just gets better. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]But it's still there. If the wish is granted.... [/color][/font]

[quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1359014569' post='131328'] 'Campaigning' for a vote that your leader didnt mention in his top ten votes? Lol. I dont even know what to say. Edit: Wait! I think i do know what to say. Doesn't really help your cause if your leader does exactly opposite to what you are campaigning for [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]The wish to me now is NOTHING.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I KNEW that this wish might still not be granted as the Council would say it's a community wish. I STILL continued to see how many votes I get. Right now, it's leading by FAR, FAR, FAR.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]The wish was to get the message across the CoE members are back.[/color][/font][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400] That there is still someone who thinks there's a chance. Like Shem said, a step towards it. Even Amoran had lost hope at that time, I went to her myself and said I'd work to bring her alliance back. She did NOT come to me and brainwash me. She barely ever even spoke for months, I was lucky enough to catch her at the Inn.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]And look at it now, I am successful so far. Amoran and Tarq are back, many CoE members are re-united, and it all couldn't have gone any better. Wish or not, CoE is back. And back for good.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]As far as I'm concerned, I wasn't campaigning for votes, but support. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Yes, dst, I WORKED. You told me yourself that Tarq and Amoran got chased away because of YOU. You failed.[/color][/font]

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1359012605' post='131325'] Transferring creatures through friends falls also under alt abuse. Basically those creatures are lost. And I have one more name to add to that list: fang archbane is not the smartest apple in the basket but he surely is the biggest behind kisser in whole MD. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Let me correct that...[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Fang Archbane is a very helpful person, actually. Seek him if you need tours to different lands while exploring [/color][/font]

[quote name='Phantom Orchid' timestamp='1359004142' post='131316'] [font=comic sans ms,cursive]Make dst get her panties in a bunch and puke... check.[/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive]But seriously, what do you hope to achieve by opening this inflammatory thread? How does this benefit MD? Aren't there other, more important, matters other than the above PM more worthy of your attention?[/font] [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Nah, that's used as an excuse.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]This is what dst actually does...[/color][/font]

[quote name='Hedge Munos' timestamp='1359003139' post='131313'] Where? This: [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10413-do-you-wish-to-become-a-knight-or-priestess/page__pid__121547#entry121547"]http://magicduel.inv...547#entry121547[/url] ? [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Yes[/color][/font]

[quote name='Dragual' timestamp='1358980881' post='131302'] That sounds awesome. Would these be existing spells? Or brand new ones? And would these books be able to be used more then once to improve upon the spell? [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I'll assume this refers to my post...[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Yes, these would be existing spells. The rarer/more valuable the spell is (i.e. the deeper it is in the wish shop) the more scrolls would be needed to make that spell's spell book [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]The difference between spell book and spell stones would be that spell books would give you 4 casts permanently, not 3 casts temporarily.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]You can get the same spell a maximum of two times [/color][/font]

[quote name='Max Mortlock' timestamp='1358979623' post='131300'] Indeed. You, Amoran, said that many of the past members are waiting for a spark of hope - this seems silly to me. As Lazarus said, act as though you are all well. You do not need a badge to operate as a group. I might suggest creating a forum topic for others interested in joining the Children of the Eclipse (various newish players have been interested), for as I explained to you, I would not depend entirely on your previous members. No offense to them, but mixtures of old and new are often necessary for a productive group with new ideas and smooth running. Just ideas running around through my head. Be well, Max [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]The spark of hope came when I spoke to Amoran I wanted to revive the Eclipse. We already created a forum topic to call for new recruits.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]But it seems asking new people to support your cause if considered a sin by dst... hence, she opens this topic.[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I had begun to work on the CoE revival before this whole wish thing started.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]This was just something to speed it up.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]That's why I also vowed to continue working towards it if the wish wasn't granted.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Esmaralda' timestamp='1358948607' post='131274'] I don't see how this is cheating in the least. Dark made a wish for CoE to be reinstated and this wish can only come true based on votes -- a popularity contest as you will. Thus it makes sense to ask people to vote for your wish does it not? How is that cheating? [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Esmaralda, only people with a negative, resentful mind think this is cheating.[/color][/font]

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1358927232' post='131252'] Really?? THIS is what it has come to? Really? Asking noobs to support your cause because you're too lazy to WORK? That makes me puke. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]And what makes you think of that? Lazy to work?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Do you even know what's going on before you start yapping?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]NOTHING was happening when I came to this realm. I was lucky enough to see Amoran awake just once, to have a chance to speak to her. That's when I decided to do what I want to do.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I spoke to many many people, dst, and they gave good suggestions, which I'll not speak of here. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Since when did you get so interested in how CoE is campaigning for it's return? Chew told me to DO things, that saying we have supporters is not enough. And I agreed.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I vow that if my wish comes in the top 3 but if it still not granted, I won't stop. This is for my land.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]When people find out that something has been wronged, only then they'll truly support it, be they new or old. You have to raise your voices for them to actually be heard. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]You always try to destroy Phantom Orchid's role, what she worked on for many years. Is that better than asking people to support for your alliance's return? Look who's talking.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]You can give me whatever thoughts on this you like. I still like mine better.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I'm nobody to tell you what to do, but if making people's lives miserable is your job, then you and all who support you have lost my respect. I don't hate you, dst. But I'm sorry, you're just not what I expected an old, experienced vet to be. And it's RIGHT for "noobs" to know about you. They're too young and they must be protected from those who seek nothing but to harass people.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Council won't fix the wrong, but new voices will.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Oh, and please don't say I've been brainwashed. I've had enough of that too.[/color][/font]

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

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1358859011' post='131219'] How about a complex system that will combine basic resources to create advances resources that will create "rare" resources that will create things like: a spell, a wishpoint, a creature? I don't think that mindlessly adding resources is helpful but with a plan, something interesting can be created. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]To build on that...[/color][/font]. [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]There can be a shared tool at all land capitals (200 land loyalty required of any homeland) which needs resources and heat to be used. Once used it creates something, eg: A scroll item.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Get 10 scrolls in this fashion and there would be another tool at the capitals which consumes them to create a spell book. Use the spell book to learn some spell [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]What spell you get would be assigned to each land... you can get any out of the ones assigned randomly.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]This can open up a whole new world of trading spell books, scrolls and resources too, as you can get a spell book of a different spell from each land which could not be obtained in your own land.[/color][/font] EDIT: [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]To make this more interesting, it would be great if the required resources to create scrolls/spell books were from foreign lands. Resource-trading between lands isn't common much these days... [/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I was about to post the same.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Mods please close this thread, I'll open another.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Thanks.[/color][/font]

[quote name='ZenTao' timestamp='1358700290' post='131088'] Yah, I made a mistake by listing Seph 2 times. If I may, I would like to change 2 points -[size=4][i]Fang Archbane[/i] [/size] [size=4]A Gameboy forged in Golemus[/size] [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]You also made another mistake of including two of Tipu's wishes together...[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I think you should be allowed to edit if it's just to correct something or make it clear, but not to change the wishes you voted for.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Eara also edited, but only cause she typed Dragual instead of FS...[/color][/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Nothing has a fixed value, in my opinion.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Everything has a price depending on demand, etc.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]While I know a GG drach usually doesn't have a very low price, it's up to the bidders how much they value something. The seller then still has a choice whether to accept the bid or not.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I don't understand how people assume that something which has a higher value in the past MUST still be sold at the same high price. [/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I sold my GG for 14 gold, COTS for 12, and Esmaralda sold hers for 10, according to what I've been hearing, even though they may have started at very low bids. If the buyer doesn't value something as much as it was valued in the past, the price automatically comes down.[/color][/font]

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1358680509' post='131071'] Actually DD, a valuable thing doesn't start from 1 dollar. It starts from much more (a price set by experts usually) and you go up from there. I am sure you knew that. If not, then apologies. [/quote] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I'm not going to argue further.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Seig never stated a minimum bid.[/color][/font]
