Eara Meraia

Greetings all, With this post I officially step down from the Public Council position. First of all I want to thank every person who voted for me to get there and demonstrated their trust in my skills and abilities. I am also very grateful to Chewett and Syrian, also Zyr and Maebius for our work together. In spite of our good and bad days I have learned a lot and I consider it absolutely positive experience. There is a number of reasons that made me do this decision: My RL availability. Since I am studying and working together it is really hard to put additional time in my schedule during the exam period. All other times are fine, but those times are really tough. To prevent some comments on this – yes, when I applied for PC I knew very well about my exam periods, but I was hoping that until the first exam period comes we have a good functioning and very active team which can compensate my partial inactivity in that period. This did not come true, since other members (except Syrian) are too inactive, which makes the responsibility too high. Another reason – giving other motivated and smart people around a chance to try themselves in PC role. Even if I do feel I am capable of doing it further there is always somebody who can do better and I think PC is a perfect opportunity to find such people. All in all I still stay an active community member, but without any political responsibility. I certainly continue working on all quests I announced lately, so my stepdown has no influence on those. I will also try to organize more quests in the future or help everyone who needs my help. Wish you all a wonderful day. Sincerely, Eara.

so it is. I am sorry to inform you that I must cancel the event due to low participant number.

recipients randomized (thank you dst) names of recipients sent via forum pm!

Final list of participants: Ackshan Bemunah darkraptor *Sunfire* Clock Master Nimrodel dst concussion Valoryn BFH Valldore Nal Rophs Tal *Dark Demon* Junior Lania Lone Wolf stavaroiu Dolomich AmberRune Zentao *MasterB* Sajura Oninay Merowinger Bash Chelik Miq Asthir All those people will get the names of people to send their gifts to via forum PM during the day today and tomorrow. Write me a short message after you delivered the gifts. Merry Christmas!

redneck asked me if he can participate in tombola 40 min. after the end of the registration deadline. I consider it as a very short time so I would like to accept him as a participant if none of you has any objections. if you do - just pm me.

people who put their names here but didnt send me names of gifts and CTC/ITC cannot be officially accepted for tombola. They will get another 10h after the end of the registration period to do so. If not, their participation is cancelled. Registration of new participants ends as stated in initial post.

edited initial post

welcome back, friend :)

the competition will take place only if there are at least 4 teams. In this case (or if there will be 5 teams) there will be a prize only for the first place. If there are 6 teams and more first 3 teams will get prizes as I stated in the initial post. Hurry up to find your teammates. Theres still some time left!

viscosity would play important role only for one of the stages, so theres is still a fair amount of fun in the race, Mr. No one.

ups, forgot about forum DD. Fixed :P

Title: Christmas Tombola Description: This event is similar to Christmas Santa (Christmas Reindrach) that is being conducted previous years. The main idea is presents exchange between participants. Instructions: If you like giving and getting presents on Christmas – put your name in this thread. After the registration is over we randomly assign names to every participant. Each of you will have to decide on the present you want to give to another unknown person beforehand. Your presents can be creatures, items, coins. Everything you think is worth to be given as a present. Naturally you will be able to receive the present from somebody else who will get your name assigned. Once you decided you want to participate there are 3 things to do: Post your name in this thread until deadline time. Send me a forum PM with the name and CTC/ITC of your gift creature/item etc. until the deadline. Deliver your gift to the person after you got the name. Prizes: As stated above you alone decide on gifts you give. So you cannot be sure that what you get is absolutely equal to what you give. But if you plan to participate in this – keep in mind – you make nobody happy if you send them a fresh Remains or 1 unit of Unidentified Plants (as an example). Deadline: For registration: December 23, 2013 - 23:59 ST. You will receive the name of recipient assigned for your gift during December 24 – 25. IMPORTANT NOTES: no alts allowed. Only 1 character pro player. Have fun!

The Public Council decided to remove WP awarded to Chewett for the Forum Death Quest. We consider such quest to be harmful for MD and as such, shouldnt be awarded with Wishpoints. Moreover, the winner of the quest does not wish to accept the given reward
