thank you for those volunteering to participate. BUT this is very important announcement for me personally: please do sign up for the quest ONLY if you really want to participate, NOT to reach the number of participants. WHY? If you register and be a part of a draw, but NOT submit your entry, this will mess up all results and somebody will get no song!!! So, if you are NOT going to submit anything or if you are going to find ANY song, without giving it a proper thought, please, ABSTAIN from registering. I want this quest to be FUN for everyone in the first row and not a reward hunting. I will be happy if we get over 20, but those people should really be interested in the quest, otherwise it makes no sense at all. Thank you for your understanding. NOTE: not knowing the person is a part of a challenge. It is clear that you might get somebody who you don't know well. The art of winning this challenge includes gathering of information or even (as an example) secretly approaching a person to get to know more. MD is about communication and information and most of you are very skilled in it.

honestly, I will not have time (and no motivation) to check for each song when was it posted and when lyrics made etc. Even if it will be the case for one or two of them. I think that the pool of englishspeaking songs is big enough to fulfil the task, so please stick to it.

consider dsts argument very good and since I had a toothache with the subtitles thing myself as well, I state that only songs with english lyrics are allowed. Sorry for all those folks who like songs with their native language lyrics, but official language of MD is English, and so should it be in the quest.

the song with english subtitles provided will be accepted. Though I think you will agree with me that a song loses a lot of its charme if you don't understand it in its original language. So I would not recommend this option. updated the original post again.

updated the reward list!

I think it should be in English to avoid language barriers and inconveniences.

This is meant to be a little in between entertainment for those who enjoy music of all kinds. In this tiny quest you have a chance to be both – participant and a judge at once. You have to be able to think musically and know a couple of songs to fulfill the task. How does it work? Sign in in this thread (until Aug. 29, 23:59 ST) Get a randomly assigned person (from the pool of people who are also participating) After you found out the name of that person (name must be kept in secret) you have exactly 1 week of time (Sept. 1 - Sept 8.) to find a song that characterizes this person best of all (we are talking about MD characters, not real people!). Both music and lyrics will be counted. During the week you send me the link with the song and a short paragraph (up to 150 words) explaining why this particular song matches the person so well. The song and explanation will be forwarded to a person and 2 more judges, who will decide how much does your song matches the character. (judges will have a number of criteria) You will have to judge a song and a passage somebody else (persons name will be hidden until the end of the quest) wrote about you. After all judges and participants made up their minds the scores will be counted and the winner announced. You have to be ready that both - songs and explanations are to be posted on forum for amusement of the rest of the audience. Songs should be in English language. Updated final list of rewards: Place 1: melodic charm, imperial aramor, 3 GC Place 2: 2GC, imperial aramor, toadspeak stone, mirrorritual stone, teleportpapercabin stone Place 3: 1 GC, toadspeakstone, mirroritual stone ATTENTION: players who get to places 2 – 4 have a chance to win the second melodic charm! For that they will have to participate in the second round of the challenge with a quite difficult task to fulfill (which will be the same task for each of them and the same kind of task they had in the first round. The exact details about the second round challenge will be announced after the first round results are published). If somebody of those who got rank 2-4 refuses to participate in the second round, the player of the rank 5 will have a chance to do so.

EE, it is also not about what YOU want to donate for the cave but what you would like to find there as a reward. Would be cool if one could find a WISH in there. Fulfilling of a wish from the wish list. We get this possibility very rarely and drach cave would be kind of aim to hit, if one desires his wish fulfilled.

long live bureaucracy.

skills> statistics, categorising, synthesis, analysis, organizing, ordering things, psychology, translating (slavic languages and german) (no idea if any of those could be useful) md interests> rp, communication, research, philosophy what I would like to do> various things, preferably where I could rely on myself and not necessarily on a bunch of other people.

farewell, my dear friend and tot ziens in some other point of this weird time and space spirals of the universe.

do you still need some help with this? I have time available now.

well, I meant the system as such..are those going to be judges (one judge), you yourself or public voting. Thanks for clarifying :)

who is going to judge the quest and what are the judging criteria?

I take it as a deal with witnesses, Nim. Oh and to your notice - I have sold my spell stones only once for the whole time I play MD to CotS and he paid me 5 silver a stone (his proposal for me, rather noobish player at that time, I thought proposal was quite generous).Other than that I always gave my stones for free when I thought it is necessary. So I have no idea what are you implying there and where did you get 1 gold, but saying that people try to make immense profit of a spell stones be more concrete, please.

pass papers: Peace said something like that before. But it was never a real "rule". Every citizen could decide to give papers or no on their own taste, charging what they want or nothing. And to 99% of cases its the last. bones collectors: I think there was one, not even belonging to NC citizens, (I think Caretakers know more, I dont want to raise this issue now, because it is irrelevant). But Nim, you sound a bit funny here...you compare stones to bones. If you want we can exchange bones for stones as 1 to 1. Deal? Please say yes, would be cool :P

maybe it is a bit offtopic but those lands are called Necrovion and Marind Bell :P

9th MD birthday achievement

I would implement something that temporarily shifts viscosity ( both + and - ) Would be a nice shared item for the East, would maybe motivate people to explore more of the land and actually go to the end (I see it as a motivation if you get something helpful somewhere in the middle of your way). *** I would implement an item with a temporary random entropic (cursing/poisoning) effect (I know you will love me for this:P) I see it as a necessary enhancement, because of my personal love to entropy. Our realm is totally syntropic at the moment, except of Eons statdamage nothing entropic happens really, there are some cursing spells but they are very rare. Intoxication lasts for a very short time and with the power level of players around is not quite significant, needles not working. So in my oppinion this would just add a bit to the syntropy-entropy balance in the realm. However I must admit, this my personal and highly subjective view, other people may have other priorities.

but the change must still be a result of a "logical" flow of conversation, no? Otherwise I feel like I am in a loony bin of some kind...(see DDs last spamming posts)

prost Menhir :)) ^_^ ;)
