East wins :)

And I'm back. Been a rough start in a tiny new (to me) apartment, but I think I can finally start settling in.

Not that i'm a creepy kind of war fetishist, but this one was quite some work to achieve...

happy birthday dark queen!

i agree that its easier for people with loyalty to gain volition, and maybe this is a bit too easy and would warrant a change, but volition is about bringing a location further back into reality after it has become withdrawn and forgotten, using your will, this to me, would make sense to be easier if you have loyalty to the land as you are more familiar with it, and familiarity would make it easier to remember, and exert your will on bringing it back into reality.

A WP for a bunch of lines is way too much if you ask me.
And it's a PUBLIC voting. It's the WORST kind EVER. Because people will not vote the quality of the submissions (btw...I don't even know what you can call quality on a description) but they will vote for friends and/or the players they like. So no! This kind of quests should DEFO not have such huge prizes.

Isn't it a bit too much to give 1 WP for such a quest?

public rules: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/14911-head-contest-complaint/?p=145283

It wasnt hidden, it was announced, just some old pages were wrong.

>>>If Chewett denies John the audience he's asking with Mur this makes this ALL THE WORST since he has:

Im not Mur's secretary, im one of the coders of the game and with that i have certain power, i have said that from my PoV i wont be doing anything, i even encouraged him to talk to HC, PC or Mur ingame when he was complaining.

---

There have been contests since this rule was implemented, with no issues. So the only issue is that someone didnt know the rules for it.

I don't want your apology and don't try to sell me this spoof about family.
 
I will demand rewards for 4 best players in this Head Contest as a remunaration for misguidng players. 

Tom, a simple message in a mood panel "Help me with revival" or personal message to me, your friend would be enough to start organizing things for your revival. Is it too much? I am persuaded - nobody must be dead for months if he/she does at least anything or asks for help. I have been dead more than once and I know what I am talking about. It was fun to do Molquerts tasks, being creative, I took it as a personal quest and stayed dead for long because I enjoyed playing dead. But I am sure there are ways of revival if somebody is seeking them. I dont know Spartialis, I dont know his motives but I also havent seen his appeals to be revived.
 
Dont get me wrong - I dont want death be common, I also do think there is inbalance if contract can be activated every week.  I want death to be UNIQUE. But getting rid of it will made MD poorer in my oppinion.

first of all I want to state that I see a big difference between death in MD and death IRL. Most of it has been discussed earlier, so I wont go for details (if you are interested ask me privately). Thats why I will speak of killing here as a game feature and not as of moral act.
 
I think killing is an interesting aspect of MD that should not be lost. It give game special flavour if you want and can be perfectly used for RP and other issues for example events (think about the last day of Fear). Thats why I am not against Killing contract as such. I think this idea has its place in MD. The problem is, if it is used too often it causes inflation of the feature and that is what I consider negative. Death has to be unique, it has to cause special feelings or community effort. Thats why I dont think that Molquert guards being tough to beat is a problem. I think its positive if people have work together to archieve revival. Of course not everyone can fight, but what is bad about networking and team effort? If I am not mistaken this was the original idea in the end.
 
Currently there are 2 ways to deal with the problem: 1) increase the number of revival possibilities, 2) increase cooldown of killing contract and killing items.
 
1) sounds bad for me. Even now killing by contract if rather cheap. with more revival possibilities people will be killed for a few silver and then this feature is something like a rainbow candy - easy to die, eay to revive, nothing to care of. That is what inflation do. That is what I would like to avoid.
 
2) increasing cooldown seems much better possibility. It gives possibility to keep the rp value of death in MD, also gives a chance to preserve Eons role as assassin.
 
 
I dont think killing contract has an aspect of greed. But it gives some "power" for people who do not have permanent access to killing items.

People of Marind Bell,

Two of your fellow citizens set out to destroy the Necrovion alliance. And what did you do?
Did you try to stop these scoundrels? Did you try to reason with them? Did you voice your objections to this uncalled for act of agression?
No, you supported them. Some of you silently, some with words and actions..
It seems you have forgotten the lessons of the past. We will teach you once again the folly of your ways.


Azull, King of Necrovion.

I had an idea to gather solar energy during the sunny weather in a form of heat. Make sort of hybrid between heat jar and improvised rain collector - "solar energy collector". Could be an alternative way to gather some heat especially for young players with low stats.

The question is simple: I wonder why cannot we use collected rainwater to make bushies grow? Isnt it the best and most natural use for this resource?

I still decided to apply for this because>
 
1) I believe we dont just have to accept the situation as it is, but have to DO something ourselves to change it and not just sit and wait
2) Changing of the situation is always necessary, because only moving and developing system can call itself alive.
3) I do not pretend to be the "coolest" the "most popular" person around or person who "deserves" something more than others, but I have a realistic view of life, which helps me a lot to stay cool and make good decisions in the most awkward and crazy situations.
4) If I start something I am loyal to the end.
