Eara Meraia

registration closed. thank you for your applications.

Name: Eara Meraia. ID 241935. Duration of enslavement - 3 months Reason: I am an awesome slave humble but creative, smart and with quite enough knowledge to make you satisfied if not fascinated with all I can do for you. (ask my previous master for reference). Limitations or special wishes don't make me go swimming and don't poke. Percentage you want to donate to TK. 25% - main.

me to (to the extend I can, due to the limited free time)

Decresing current stats gain for all players makes no sense at all since the situation just stays as it is now, but less people even try to reach those values old grinders have, I will give you the example: many people consider me a grinder. And yes, I like fighting. I also got some highly tokened creatures. My best creature with over 10000 wins (with many tokens) now gets an attack gain of 2000. What would that be without tokens? (if somebody has such creature can tell the exact value, but let us say 1500). Do the math and calculate how many wins you need to get 500k attack. Still want to fight? Really? As Rhaegar said - leave the token bonus as it was and raise the current stat gain by saccing non tokened creatures. This will hopefully make players who don't want (cannot) pay fight again and everyone will profit. Descrease all stat gains through tokens and you will demotivate those who got tokened creatures and change absolutelly nothing for those who don't have them. I also think the system that would help to decrease the gap would be "Those who have more stats get less bonus" (not sure if it is technically possible to do though).

well for me this is very demotivating announcement. Stats are hard to get and tokened creatures are hard to get as well!! As soon as you get some you get motivated to train them as good as you can, since you see it as a way to get at least a bit closer to those who have got thousands and millions of stats before (saccing angiens for example). And what now? Now this cluft is bigger and basically there is no other way to keep up with those who is strong already. Also tokens are less attractive to buy now. I don't see how this decision will motivate people to fight more and therefore I see it as harming for MD. If you want to take decisions like this, you need to set all stats of older players to zero and make them start all over, then it would be fair. But again...far away from fair, I don't think there can be any 100% fair solutions in this case but there can be at least motivating ones. I agree with Rhaegars suggesstion.

bump for this still got some anno in stock and also a normal imp.

@ dst> yes, its possible and we think it is a good idea to make auction in 2 rounds so that it wont last so long and more people will be able to attend. The date of the second phase would be 3 July 20:00 ST. People who cannot attend the main event should specify in their registration post that they want to be "sold" on the additional auction date. @ Sunfire> yes, its possible. With the restriction you cannot bid on yourself Important note: Chewett suggested we raise the TK tax to min. 25% since a leash is a very uselful item and all in all a very good deal for the slave We agree with this. also edited initial post.

@Granos> there are many (of not most of) other exisiting alliances that have no real purpose or specifically coded function (like Fusioneers heat fusioning fuction or TK with their treasury function). But still those alliances are there, some of them lacking members, not even mentioning RP. I don't understand why this cannot get a chance then.

Highly honored masters and slaves-to-be, With much joy and pleasure, we wish to announce The Golden Chains Auction 2014. Yes, we are back and as before we promise you the best in quality leashes and guarantee a fair trade. Have you felt the need of a strong hand to guide you? Or perhaps you miss a faithful servant. Infuse some adventure into the everyday routine; use this unique chance to try yourself in the role of slave or master. This year’s conditions are the following: Only those who register themselves in this thread before the deadline, can become slaves. All slaves will be “sold” to the highest bidder on the day of the auction. A minimum of 25% (rounded down) of the final price goes as a tax payment to TK, the rest goes to the slave. The minimum duration of your slavery is 1 week. The maximum is 3 months. (Of course you may remain in your master’s service longer if you wish) Important: Leashes will expire/disappear after x4 the duration of your slavery. (with 3 months of being a slave, your leash will expire after 1 year. This is also the maximum leash duration) All masters need to pay the slave and TK before they will get the leash. You cannot bid on your own leash. No creatures, items, resources will be accepted as a payment – only gold and silver coins. Alts are allowed as participants but it is not allowed to bid on your own alts. All those who volunteer to become slaves, please register in THIS thread, clearly stating the following: The Name of your character in game. Your ID. Duration of enslavement (1 week to 3 months) Reason for you being a good slave Limitations or special wishes (optional) Percentage you want to donate to TK. (min. 25%) Standard minimum bid is 5 silver. If you want to raise the starting price for your character, specify the minimum bid. If you cannot attend the main event, please note that you want to be sold on the second phase of the auction. Registration period starts NOW and lasts UNTIL June 22, 23:59 ST. The auction itself will be Sunday June 29, and starts at 18.00 st. Second phase (for those who cannot attend the main event) takes place on July 3, 20:00 ST. The host and auctioneer of this year’s auction is King Azull. The Event will take place in Necrovion, at the Howling Gates. Travelling possibilities will be kindly provided. If you have any remarks on slavery as a social phenomenon in general, please, make your own thread and don’t write your comments here. If you have any further questions – feel free to write me a forum PM. Let the show begin! ***** Short explanation for those who is unaware of the leash auction basics: if you volunteer to become a slave, a personal item (a leash) will be made. With this item another player (your Master) can summon you from any place (except of those with No Jump tag). This way your Master can control your freedom but he can also lead you into places, you may never see otherwise. Your master will pay a certain price to be able to use your leash and you are suppossed to run on errands and fulfil his wishes as a good and humble slave. After the expiration of your enslavement period you can claim your leash from your master and use it as you like (give to whoever you want) until the leash disappears.

my seminars in the university get cancelled because of World Cup games taking place at that time! World is going crazy!

I didnt have that problem neither on chrome, nor on firefox...

The studies show that its generally not the case, if the stronger student still feels "challenged". So if the stronger students gets harder tasks from time to time to match his level of ability and knowledge. Es for the Principle I chose Entropy, because for me its one of the most faschinating one. I still keep pondering about cause-effect relationshiop direction between Entropy and Time..so yeah - stop-the-entropy-and-live-forever kind of thoughts or maybe never stop it and enter a new circle of life... anyways, the land affiliation is Necrovion and the Element - fire :)

as said in the heading, I am selling pink aramor(s). Accept pretty much everything except ressources. interested in all kinds of drachs as an exchange :) pm me on forum or in game.

and what happened to this?

happy birthday, dear King! Enjoy every minute

it doesnt work, sunny. but I am still proud for you, forest people :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwkANDyGoqw is this the video you mean, Merchant? I also think its well done, maybe we could do something similar with somebody actually telling things in background? always find those more fun to watch. Dividing into sections sounds great like: interaction, combat, creatures, ressources (and their use like tea ceremony for example) browsing around, research, questing.

ahah, yes, especially the sound..have it on my wish list for ages

things I would definitely consider to buy, if available on the auction: creatures: Darkling, tainted angien regenerable spells: lock in chaos, opennecro, accoustic remains items: killing item, independent reality coagulator Also a suggestion: would be nice if you made the list of the things you decided upon and crafted public some time before the auction itself, so that we can decide on our priorities. thank you.

my cake :D

sorry, Kyp, was really bad time for me, I assume for most other Europeans too. Or maybe we should take dancing classes first...

Happy birthday, my dear drug. Stay hot :)

yey! hugs and kisses to the tiny fairy!

aww, am I hopelessly too late for this? Pity pity...>.<

happy birthday. hope you will show up more often. miss ya, vriend :P
