happy birthday and have a great time. (and youre in MD a year already..o.O how the time passes)

the contest isnt over yet! we have got very nice santas so far, but you still have a chance to draw your Santa of the year!

havent written poems for looong time. This one came to me recently on the cold winter morning. The one inspiring me, knows about it already :) Your eyes are closed You feel…yes, you feel the essence of sorrow. Not those senseless thoughts of this world Or fears of tomorrow. You feel shabby, ragged and old Your thoughts, your poems, your feelings are nothing Cold. But weird longing pain Keeps you alive. Or maybe insane. You know the answer As for you know and feel and absorb the core of the universe In you. ** ** ** ** Your eyes are closed You feel the touch of the familiar breath On your cheek. Is it real? Tristesse of your inner being Suddenly loses its meaning For and instant moment Of eternity. ** Your eyes are wide open and glare. They stare into the neverending Dark and everlasting Tunnel of my eyes Filled with surprise. ** Are you alive? Smile.

Happy birthday, friend. have a great one :)

aww, they are all awesome. I would give each a prize. Well done.

not so bad, just keep track...Easter is coming soon :)

happy birthday :)

first of all thanks to all participants and judges of this quest. Thanks for the patience of everyone who was interested in seeing the results. I happy to finally present you all entrees and winners. so, here they are, our poets: AmberRune: [log Poem] Christmas time is flowing, you can feel it in the air Happiness in trying to sing, there's music everywhere. Right over there is Mya sharing stories of the kings, Indoors is Summer Breeze baking delicious, sweet, good things. Santa got confused again and thought he was Rudolph this year There was no help from Sunfire as he spread around more beer. More gifts from tombola as the pairs find each other waking And cards appear to send more cheer as Christmas time is ending. Send them 'round, New Year's in town! Good tidings of MD making [/log] Bash Chelik [log poem] Unyielding Spirit Remember this, when all else fails when your hopes are dying, one after another When your life becomes unlife When you dream of dreams but live your nightmares... Remember to wait for the dawn Upon which face all fears are dust Remember of those worthy of love Where begins the soul and where ends the lust... [/log] Elthen Airis [log poem] Marind Bells Dashing through the snow In a drachorn’s open sleigh In No Man’s Land we go Kyphis makes us laugh all day Bells on Bob’s sprigs ring Making “Z” all bright What fun it is to laugh and sing An MD song tonight Oh, Marind Bell, Marind Bell Joyful all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a drachorn’s open sleigh Marind Bell, Marind Bell Joyful all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a drachorn’s open sleigh Near Liquid Dust’s house i thought i’d take a ride And soon miss Pamplemousse Was seated by my side Her grasan’s lean and lank He had fasted all this lot Two winderwilds in his belly bank He fancied just to rot Oh, Marind Bell, Marind Bell Joyful all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a drachorn’s open sleigh Marind Bell, Marind Bell Joyful all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a drachorn's open sleigh. [/log] TheRichMerchant [log poem] I have burned your silly treasures thats I've found when looking for fenths. You were hiding gold-inlayed rubies thinking that was worth of praise... I take delight in showing the mortals how feeble everything is - and how fast everything goes in that whirlwind of death where, before ressurection, one rests. Buried deep, so that only spirits would scratch its surface with ghostly nails, your coffer stayed silent and pretty, hiding its goods in the earth's entrails. Piece by piece, I took all your treasure and melted it on a pile of bones and then I hung the golden skulls with ruby eyes, above the dark thrones. Never before have you thought, rich merchant, that treasure might be not only gold - you would have tried to get other things, things that cannot be bought or sold. Today, ghostly merchant, is that time of year when even the most pitiful celebrate - I shall put rubies in your rusty sockets and we shall play until the day ends. Happy Necrovion Christmas! [/log] Tipu [log poem]Ho Christmas tree Christmas tree i have only one wish which i wanna to c that is to make me rich when i click u thy thee.. but every year u say no to my plea .. so this yr u have left me with only one option that is to steal thy thee.. Merry Xmas[/log] And the ranking list, based on the oppinions of 4 judges: Place 1: TheRichMerchant Place 2: Elthen Airis Place 3: AmberRune Place 4: Bash Chelik Place 5: Tipu Details of judging and points given to each participant, you can see HERE. All rewards will be provided to winners by MD Council. And last but not least - the organizers of the quest do NOT always share the oppinion of judges, but accept their oppinion as a result of trust granted to them. Any further questions can be discussed here of pm-ed to me. Thank you for your attention and participation.

Maybe its just me, but so far I fail to see the difference between Tags and Titles system, except that titles are granted forever. Will titles have prescribed names and roles...like for example Kings title which automatically means specific tasks and responsibilities or those titles are more or less freely adapted to particular players role, like Syrians Tag "Child of Necrovion"? Will those titles mean also that special "powers" will be granted, like for example in Kings case its right to grant citizenship? Agree with Valldore, I would love to have an example or two to be able to comprehend a new concept fully.

Seig, please, next year read the rules carefully and maybe your drach will find a new home. This year tombola is over. If somebody still has any questions regarding it, please contact me via pm. Mods, please close this topic.

please all people who didnt receive Tombola presents so far to contact me via forum pm or ingame.

coming back of AL and Kerberos story was something that left the brightest trace in my memory, and I consider it the most important thing. Seigs day of fear was an event that caused the most feelings (will omit each feeling exactly, most of us can still remember :D) Playing TOMATO with Molly was probably the funniest. As for technical things I think scene enhancement contest and adding new elements to the scenes was the coolest thing. Still waiting impatiently for all new clickies and pickables to be implemented. So something to be looking forward to in 2014 and one more reason to log in in MD :)

З новим роком!!! guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr! Happy New Year! Many joy and happiness for all of you in 2014 :)

hmm, I don't know exactly what caused that disappointment of yours, Tom. We also havent been speaking ingame for a while, but it seems you got sad because you didn't meet Santa this year. Well, if it's the case, I just feel sorry that you are getting sad about such little details. Because MD is not about presents or Santas or ressources or creatures etc. MD for me is mostly about friends. Santa has been here this year and maybe he has been even waiting for u, but time zone issues didn't allow you to meet each other. (yes, apparently Santas need to sleep as well, even thought this is a rather disappointing fact). Last year I missed all X-Mas presents because I wasn't online because of visiting a friend. Yes it's sad, but is it really a reason to leave? I enjoyed your tommusic because it was nice and I know I am not alone. So tell me what reward did you expect here - a morph, a shade, a tainted, a 100 gold? Or maybe a joy that you bring to people with it costs much more than all that? Think about it before you leave. Oh and one more thing - there always will be people who DON'T like what you do and say. No matter where you go and what you do. But instead of focusing on that, why just not concentrate on positive, look what you did good and do better next time. Now it's your choice. Happy New Year :)

dear Tom, as far as I know there are no size limitations at this stage of the quest. I am sure size of your Santa can be adjusted later if it is needed. Ofc you don't need to draw something the size of the car as well as not a tiny little image, so in general it is to be dictated by a common sense. Don't think about pixels and stuff just give freedom to your imagination and draw a nice Santa. If you are planning to participate in the quest - just do it. No need to wait till next Christmas.

some comments and clarifications: 1) rewards will be given to every artwork which is of high artistic quality, has an original idea and is considered as worth of reward. Try to impress judges :) 2) winner Santa MAY be implemented PLUS the author will get a reward depending on the quality and impression it made. 3) You can also resubmit images you submitted last years. Those will be accepted, but you can only get a reward if your Santa is chosen the best one. 4) more than one Santa per player is allowed.

Greetings! Since the last Santa drawing has been released we are looking for a new one! Previous years awesome Santas have been provided by duxie and dragonrider (you can see some of drawings HERE). Now it’s your chance to be the author for the next Santa. What to do? Draw the Santa (preferably full body, nothing cut off :P) Load the image to one of image hosting sites (imgur.com) IMPORTANT: Send the link with image as a PM on my forum account! (with the title: Santa V) Don’t make it public! All images must be kept secret until the winner is decided. Both: nice idea, MD-spirit and high-quality drawing will be considered in the process of judging. Naturally all images you send to the contest must be authentic. Each of them will be carefully checked. This contest has NO official deadline. But hurry up, since it will end as soon as the winner is chosen! Rewards will be sufficient! So don’t lose time! Start drawing Santa V now!

sorry, Seig. You were not included because you didnt send me a pm with name of the gift and CTC/ITC. See point 2 instructions (initial post).

strangely, for me the best notion that corresponds a seed and at the same time a concept of present-past-future is idea. Idea is planted to you mind representing some knowledge of past generations and minds. This knowledge is not present but accumulated in a small object containing life. This object (idea) not yet grown up and might be only little blicks in complete darkness. But planted on a good ground - thinking, creative mind, nurtured with knowledge and experience, the idea starts to grow. this is present. Period when knowledge is "touchable" and vulnerable to outside influences and changes. At some point gives fruit, which results in further ideas, more deep, more detailed, innovative. This fruit is a hope for future, motivation to move further and achieve more. The process of growth (present) cannot be imagined without a seed (which is past) and makes no sense without fruit, which is future. This is the endless nature of knowledge but the same paradigm applies for other spheres as well .
