  1. 1) if someone wins a shade in first roll there will be no second.

     

    2) you still win because your numbers are in correct order and next to each other.

     

    3) I will we at GoE every day except Sunday and Monday starting 22 ST unless some emergency happens. With those who cannot come at this time we can arrange a personal date. I will also be present at other times randomly.

  2. Dear MD-ers!

     

    Tiny men are busy as hell and Santa is undusting his cloak. Christmas is already in front of our doors and New Year is coming very soon! Treasure Keepers want to contribute to overall festive mood by announcing a New Year Lottery 2016!

     

    Lottery tickets, which you can by from me (Time Patrol) in game for 2 sc each will contain 4 random generated numbers (I will make sure that there will be no doubles). You can buy as many tickets as you want to!

     

    The lottery will take place at Gazebo of Equilibrium at January 1. 2016 at 22 ST.

     

    If you got a lucky ticket you might get following prizes:

     

    4 correct digits - a Shade!

     

    3 correct digits - an aged reindrach!

     

    2 correct digits - a Sharptear!

     

     

    It is obvious that the numbers need to be in correct order and next to each other (next to each other means if winning combination is 1234 you got a ticket 1284 you will NOT get a reindrach but a sharp, if you get a ticket 1238 or 8123 you will get a reindrach). But if you would get a ticket with all 4 correct numbers but in different order, we might get you some consolation prize ;)

     

    For those who could not be present at the draw I will post the combination on forum so that they can check later.

     

    The procedure is simple: I will roll a 1 digit die 4 times for a winning combination. If nobody gets the first prize with this combination I will roll again. Second and third prizes can be obtained from both winning combinations but only once per ticket!

     

     

     

    Treasure Keepers wish you good luck and happy holidays!

     

     

    PS: the lottery idea was inspired by Dutch annual New Year lottery, which seems to be a good tradition in here and maybe we will make it an MD tradition too, if you guys like it.

     

     

  3. Dear MDers, especially Questmakers,

     

    In a recent private discussion, I found out that apparrently questmakers forgot (never knew of) the fact that the alliance Treasure Keepers was created to support you, if you are in need of rewards for your quests.

     

    The aim of this post is to remind you of this fact.

     

    In order to request a sponsorship, we ask you to send us a forum pm (preferably) or find us in game.

     

    Currently I have very limited RL time for playing MD fully as I did before, but I will always reply for your sponsorship requests if you write me here in forum and will try to keep Time Patrol idling at GoE.

     

    Please take into consideration the following>

     

    to get the sponsorship you will have to provide us with some information about your quest> type of quest, short description, date of beginning, rewards you would wish to have for this quest (preferably with some reasoning..why do you think specifically these rewards will be suitable), rewards you already have for this quest from other sources.

     

    You will have to take into consideration the following>

     

    - We do not guarantee sponsorship. We will consider all pros and cons and make a decision to sponsor or not

    - We might ask for additional information

    - the decision might take a few days, so please, contact us beforehands and not on the day you want to start your quest

    - We might propose you different rewards from what you requested.

    - sponsorships available are mostly coins and creatures, but we might also find something special for you in the dark corners of the treasury if we find your idea extremely good.

     

    We will be glad to hear from you.

     

     

     

  4. Creativity in my oppinion consists of two components. The first part is the one you mentioned - thinking outside of the box. The second one is practical implementation of the idea born in a creative mind. Practical implementation itself often brings so much troubles and problems unseen to ones eye, that the original idea has to be flexibly changed and adapted many times to actually be embodied and bring result. This practical aspect becomes obvious if we think about the broader meaning of english word create - to cause to exist, produce, bring into being (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/create).

     

    Now the second question> for assessment of creativity there are number of old and well known tools like Torrance test of creative thinking. But one can actually answer this question to him/herself thinking retrospectively and asking him/herself how did I act in a situation that doesn't have a standard solution? Do standard solutions, if they are available always satisfy me or am I looking for more? Is there anything that I actually created? Did I enjoy the process? Did it fascinate me? This will give you general idea about your own creativity but of course if you want to know how creative you are comparing to the rest of population or at least a certain group of people you will have to search for a reliable test and compare your results with results of the reference group.

     

    Hope I could help :)

  5. playing games is a very important part of us. Games play crucial role in our development. since we start realizing ourselves as a human being, in a very early age we start playing games. For children games are the way to explore the world and to learn. And it doesnt end when we grow up. New aspects are being added to the game playing, most of them mentioned before...fun, escape from reality, relaxation etc. But games most important function - exploration, learning and development still stays. Sometimes we think we don't learn anything new, but this is an illusion. Our brain can not NOT learn and games contribute a lot to it :)

  6. There is a known concept of goal achieving called SMART. To make goals easier to achieve they have to be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-related.

     

    In my oppinion stages could at least do the role of A and T for MD. Having some feedback after each stage also makes the progress more measurable and can be very encouraging.

     

    And this really works if used properly. BIG goals like those I have seen in MD recently are nice, but achieving them can be divided into steps (or stages) which would make them more attainableb and realistic at once. Otherwise one tends to dissipate ones energies having no clear direction and seeing no progress in what one is doing.

  7. One gold coin or item vs 10-20 that Eon asks?.....

     

    one gold? Is it the sum required for the item to work now? Well you will have to add up this to the usual killing/revival charge of people who are owning those items. (I know some of them did it for free as well, but not all).

     

    As for the announcement. I do hope there is more with it, otherwise I don't see any real changes of the situation coming with it.

     

     

    Sacrifising something for killing in general has a lot of symbolism in it and I like that to kill somebody or revive one has to accomplish more than just to press a button.

     

    Paying a few coins does not fully fulfil the sacrifice idea in my oppinion, because not many of us (correct me if I am wrong) are too much spiritually bound to our coins, so it doesn't really hurt to lose them. It also doesn't influence balance between killing/revival in the realm, since both actions require gold from now on. It does not require any direct activity from the killer or reviver, which I think is pity. Also this idea interferes a bit with Eons role as an paid assassin (or maybe it is meant to be a compensation, since Eon seems to be inactive aka gone?). To sum up - I like the idea to make killing/revival more complicated, but I do not think that only adding a gold price to it will make any sufficiant difference.

     

    Global notification in chat is a truly brilliant idea.

  8. I am definitelly happy

     

    First because I can be with the man I love most and feel his love to me, which is as such a wonder of life.

     

    Second I am happy because I live and I notice changes in my life...I move forwards and it makes me happy. I enjoy that I can see changes in my life and not think "oh boy, I am getting older" but breathe in instead and feel how I am getting stronger.

     

    Third I am happy because at the moment I feel control over myself. Control gives such a nice fuzzy feeling of power and freedom. So even my little activity in MD recently is a kind of control experiment and I enjoy passing this exam.

     

    There are maaaaaaaany things I am not happy about, many fears and problems, uncertainties. But shifting the focus is an important step in dealing with those.

     

    Thank you Kiley for this nice topic.

     

    be inspired :P

  9. lol, Demon, you have obviously problems with your memory. What I used was NOT the part of my submission, I clearly stated that. And it is also not a part of the submission you wanted as a forum pm, but was a part of our ingame pm exchange. Shame that you mix it altogether. That was a thing for YOU, but YOU were the one who insisted that you give me "points" for that. Review the pms, please. And to avoid further discussions about this I withdraw my submission from this, disregarding the fact it is disqualified or not.
