So, I hate the following:
- Not be able to turn off the damn sound! I hate the PM or battle sound. I HATE the sound the page makes when you go to idle modle.
- I hate the idle page. It's HIDEOUS and not MD related. And the poem there is not funny at all.
- I hate the logout animation (and sound). C'mon! I used that animation 10 years ago when I was playing with power point.
- Drop down list from the right panel. In many cases, it doesn't load properly.
 
 
 
I'll post some more if I remember them.

To Adam's family and friends:
Everything went well, with only a single, minor complication. The anesthetic started wearing off too soon, and Adam started snoring slightly halfway through, which started vibrating the equipment. It was quickly remedied however, and the surgury carried on as normal. They were able to do a complete removal through endoscopic endonasal surgery. He is currently resting, and will be out of commission for the next few days.

Pre-written message from Adam:
Thank you all for the prayers and support I've received through this difficult time. I tried doing it with just God and I, but found out, albeit a little late, that a larger support system is more beneficial. I came to realise that by not utilizing those people around me that God had placed for me, it was really just me trying to get through on my own. Next time, and I hope it never comes, I will do things differently. Thank you all again, you guys are amazing, and I praise God for getting me through this.

Interesting tactic CotS, neg voting all the other entrants?

Due to poor planning* my cake collapsed when removed from the baking dish. Aside from that it went pretty well. Photos soon.

[/spoiler]
The cake consists of, from bottom to top:
A 100% Vegan chocolate cake (hahaha, it may seem pointeless considering the other segments of cake, but it is seriously the most delicious thing I have ever tasted)
Homemade Honeycomb (softcrack)
Blackforest Cheesecake
Homemade Jam (mixed berries, mostly raspberry)
Cherries, to write out "9"
Cherry Sauce thickened to be a Jelly Glaze.
 
To accompany, my wife also made a 6 layer jelly (she actually made quite a few, one dish for everyone and the giant one to be hacked apart with the cake)
 
Between the five of us we consumed all but the last pieces in 30 minutes :P
 
Poor planning: I was using the pan my wife uses for cakes, instead of the dish that I normally use. I neglected to plan for getting the cake out of the dish after assembly, as my dish does not have any issues no matter the cake size. My wife just laughed at me when my mistake was realized. It was still delicious though.

my cake :D

 

my cake :D

 

Quest Title: Paint Your Aramor!

This quest was designed for last year's MD birthday and since only a few had the chance to participate i've decided to put it up again.
 
In this quest the player will be driven in a little adventure to collect items, interact with npc's and solve puzzles.
This time the goal would be to grab a fresh aramor and paint it! If you can't win it from official quests.. Make One Yourself!!

You can use the Magic word: PaintYourAramor!
After gather some information you realize that your best option to make a aniversary aramor is to ask for some help.. and who would be better to help you than the Elf?
From what you have heard the Helper Elf was last seen at the library.. Convince him to help you!

Go! Have fun!.. and a bit of patience :-P

Here's my entry. It was a fun and tasty experience, I hardly ever bake. Happy birthday MD. :)

Happy birthday, my dear drug. Stay hot :)

I want to tell you a story
'Bout a sleepless man, if I can
A man who'll stay unnamed,
His tale untold, for you to unfold...
 
On day 103 (Mon Apr 14), I will use your help to unravel a mystery...
The event will take place in chat, at the Howling Gates, starting at 10.30 s.t. and lasting until someone solves it (depending on the participation, this may take a few hours to a few days).
 
I will read 3 small excerpts from a tale (its beginning, a middle part and its ending) and you'll have to figure out what happened in between said parts. 
You can ask me (in chat, all PMs will be ignored) any and as many questions as you like, to which I can only answer 'yes', 'no' or 'irrelevant'. Note: I must answer all the questions and I can't lie.
 
The 3 excerpts will also be disclosed on this thread for reference, together with the most interesting/relevant questions.
Therefore, even if you can't be there at the beginning of the event, you should be able to catch up.
 
Scoring and winners:
 
The first one figuring out the whole story will have to state it in chat to be declared winner (1st place).
You obviously don't have to write a novel, a brief summary will do it (the whole tale can be summed up in 2-3 lines).
 
Besides that, you can contribute to the solution by asking significant/meaningful questions.
I will in fact assign 1 point for each and every question leading to a key/turning point.
Said points will define the scoring for those placed from 2nd to 5th.
 
Prizes:
 
1st: 1 soulweaver
2nd: 1 tormented soul
3rd: 1 skull
4th: 1 unholy priest
5th: bones (tons of!!!)
 
This is all I can offer from my collection, sponsors are highly welcome! 
 

I really don't think Research is the worst part of MD. I don't even think it's something the majority is interested in.
It seems to me a deeper (not better, I'm not judging here) layer in MD.
I think it's more likely for new people to be attracted by creatures, fighting, spells and such... While research is something that comes at later stages and grows together with confidence / experience of this realm.
So, I don't see this research "issue" a mass problem, but rather something concerning lab rats, book worms and so on.  :D
 
As for the hush-hush attitude.. What about MD's attitude towards spoilers?
Why should one be open regarding, let's say, principles or symbolism or shades.. when we are not even supposed to share the ritual to beat LR guards?

Imo that is the WORST "feature" of MD. Everybody is so hush hush and secretive about their research and proud that they "research" stuff. But except very few people that make their research public, everybody else keeps the research under tons of locks but they do brag that they are "into research". Bleah..

So, there are 3 things :
 - each 200$ spent grants you one gift / item
 - items will be UNTRANSFERABLE
 - granting the gifts will be done automatically in the future
 
1. I don't understand why the items should be "UNTRANSFERABLE". You earn an item you should be able to gift it to others.
2. abuses for this should be allowed in this case in limits as there are money earned by one person with hard work either by free credits (and 200$ will take a really really really long time) or by real money
 
 
So, except the fact that we are indeed talking about possible abuses & alts, I don't see what't the problem .
If you have invested in an alt, you will be able to collect the gift once it is done automatically.
 
 
So, to all those that are in top : Thank you for your support and enjoy your items.

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!

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.
