Ok, here's a horrible acoustic, ACKapella rended edition of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", by yours truly.
Yes, I dressed the part, so you'd know it's me.     Don't judge.  :P 

Could not find a friend willing to enable my insanity, so had to prop up the tablet and try in the largest area of hte apartment I could, Sorry for bad A/V quality.   Below is the Video and Lyrics.

[log="Lyric transcript"]

Mur rest ye merry, MD’ers
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, keep your VE up
Or Mirrir Rit all day
To save us all from Eon’s power
When heads comp is today
O Attacklock and Movelock enjoy,
spellspam enjoy
O Attacklock and Movelock enjoy,



In GoE, in MDP,
This crowd has gathere’d round
And duels with random stranger
Repeat that combat Sound
Awaits the Tree and presents come
Upon is Murmas morn
O questing and dueling enjoy,
Dueling enjoy
O questing and dueling enjoy,



From Mur and Chewett and Dude2
A coded Angel came;
And unto certain MD’ers
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in GoE quite Soon
Some presents to your Name.
O presents and gifts to all enjoy,
Gifts to enjoy
O presents and gifts to all enjoy,



"Fear not," said Confused Sa-anta,
"Let nothing you affright,
This day is you all receive something
Throughout this Murmas Night,
To all who’s AD is quite high
And even idler’s might."
O presents and gifts to all enjoy,
Gifts to enjoy
O presents and gifts to all enjoy,



The active folks these tidings
Rejoiced much in their mind,
And left their crits a-feeding
For heat and wins to grind:
Then sacrificed them for their fenths
And Depleted resources find.
O Tools to harvest, weekly grab and bind,
Grab and tools bind
O Tools to harvest, weekly grab and bind,



And when they returned to GoE
Where gazebo now stood Tree,
They found they could not get presents,
If they were low AD;
And arguing, complaints and flames
All through the crowd did see.
O give us stuff, we want it all for free,
Toys for Me!
O give us stuff, we want it all for free,



Now to the angiens heard their call,
All you within this place,
Each mindpower and your Friendlist too
A PM you embrace;
This blessed time of Murmas
Your anger does deface.
So, new jail time the worst of you enjoy,
Good folks get toys
But the worst of you, some dst time enjoy….

Where should we leave our letters?

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.

The Nightmare before Murmas
A little horror is always the best just before celebrations of joy.  For this we call up upon
the spirits of those gone and past.  Your nightmare, should you take it, will involve creating
a story about a character from MDs past.  Then you must put them in an nightmare enviroment,
either for you or them. The story must have a complete plot as well as a ending that results
in someone/all death.

Requirements:
The story must contain at least 300 words
The main character must be a MD player who no longer plays
The story must be told in 3rd person, like story tellers at Christmas time
By the end of the story at least one character in the tale must die
All stories must have a plot that is revealed by the end of the tale
All stories must be submitted by 12/31/15

Judging:
All stories will be posted in the forum.  
There will be at least 2 judges
Like/Dislike will be considered in the judging
Anyone who writes a tale, but gives negative critizism to other tales will be disqualified
 
Rewards!!!!:
1st place: 4 Gold and 4 Christmas points
2nd place: 3 Gold and 3 Christmas points
3rd place: 2 Gold and 2 Christmas points
4th place: 1 gold and 1 Christmas point
All participants will receive birthday cake and tea, 1 Christmas point, and possibly more.

It's getting colder and colder by the day, and the smell of winter is in the air - yet this time, it smells dry, sharp. Not like in other times, it doesn't have the rich tang of mulled wine, ginger, cookies and candy canes... 
 
"It is so cold..."1 you must think, and you are correct. Something must be done... Certainly if the cold continues, not even the mightiest Reindrachs will be able to carry Santa all the way to the tree in time for Murmas. You must bring warmth. For the sake of... Murmas of course, why else would want you to warm up the air?...
 
The time has been decided: gather at the Gazebo of Equilibrium on the 22nd of December, 22:00 ST. The shortest Day and the longest Night of the year. A good time to find a Bonfire to feed for an hour or two... As more time you will not have, with the vicious frost taking advantage of the long, cold night. Light the fire into a mighty beacon of heat, and Santa is sure to reward you... Fail, and the rewards will certainly be diminished.
 
Rewards
[spoiler]
As this quest will run only for a maximum of two hours, the rewards consist solely of Christmas Points. Rankings are determined based on the amount of heat donated to the bonfire individually, and according to a total threshold that must be reached by the end of the quest.
 
"Participation" is determined as follows:
MP3: Donate a minimum of 1 Heat
MP4: Donate a minimum of 500 Heat
MP5: Donate a minimum of 1000 Heat
 
If enough heat is gathered:
4 Christmas Points 3 Christmas Points 2 Christmas Points (everybody else who participated) 1 Christmas Point If there is NOT enough heat by the end of the quest:
(everybody who participated) 1 Christmas Point [/spoiler]

Post your Playername, ID and Mind Power here, please.

RULES
[spoiler]
Lock in Chaos use is strictly forbidden, both from outside sources onto the participants and between the participants themselves. The only teleportation spells that may be used must teleport at most to No Man's Land (send to goe, teleport PC). Teleportation spells that send to any other land are strictly forbidden, both from outside sources onto the participants and between the participants themselves. Petrify, due to its duration, is strictly forbidden, both from outside sources onto the participants and between the participants. As a rule of thumb, anything that significantly impairs the ability of a player to reach the bonfire for more than 30 minutes is considered prohibited. This includes the spells mentioned above, moving players to distant (East) locations or locations with an AP wall (mur's  temple), locations with no exit, or heavens forbid, jailing or banning. Keep in mind this competition will last at most 2 hours - excluding a player from it for a significant amount of time would be very un-christmas-like. Leashes, alliance leader jumping or any other form of transportation is permitted. Any consumables that generate heat (pickles, candy, heat stones) are permitted. Any item shop services that produce heat or briskness or alter the regen timer are permitted. While I would like to rely on your christmas spirit and good-will to follow these guidelines, I feel the need to mention that any malicious infringement of these rules will bring exclusion of the player from any other quest organised by me in the future. This also applies to non-participants who impair participants with ill intent.

1 - "It is so cold..." will be your key phrase to use at the bonfire.

This year I have been talking with the helper elves about getting the tree put up in MD. They apparently require more coin this year and after a lot of discussions I have managed to get them to put up our tree again and, in addition, do a new job. They will put up the tree and also produce the presents.
 
There is some concern that the presents they obtain are... "borrowed" so if anyone finds a present with a name that isnt their own, I might need to talk to them... Hopefully no person finds that they have lost some creature or other due to the elves "recycling".
 
This year they have agreed to read your letters and try to make the presents under the  tree a little more customised to the person. They will read your letters and if they deem your request is fair they will attempt to customise your reward.
 
However they were quite specific in the way they wanted the request. They wanted you to physically write a letter to them saying why you are a good person and what you wish. These elves are quite vain so if you are going to write a letter, I suggest you praise them and their work over the years. They also noted that some of MD are good at drawing but they are not and would appreciate your depiction of them.
 
The helper elves will only read these letters if you have been sufficiently christmassy, so require you have attained 2 christmas points before submitting it. You can submit them by uploading the images to storenow and sending them to me in a forum pm.
 
The most amusing letters, or those that make the helper elves the happiest will receive some rewards:
 
1st - WP + 1 snowman 4 christmas points
2nd - WP +  2 gold, claw 3 token, 3 christmas points
3rd - WP + 1 gold, onyx fang token, 2 christmas points
All other participants 1 christmas points
 
Letters will be judged in the new year, but obviously the helper elves will need to read them before they place the presents under the tree.
 
Edit: The peoples representative of the helper elves remind me that I am meant to call them tiny GG men. Please remember to use this term and not the phrase "elves"
 
OOC Note: Im trying to get the code done for the custom presents, but if this doesnt happen I will be giving the custom rewards.
 
Requests will be customised depending on your activity and a number of different things. More active = cooler present.

Fear not citizens of the East, I am still your supreme ruler as well.  I now rule both lands until further notice.

Replenish the Herbs

MD is running out of herbs and we need your help. We need you to go and steal some herbs from another realm to replenish the ones in MD.

The task is simple, go out and plant some herbs (or vegetables, or fruits, anything that grows really) and document their progress. Take a picture every couple of weeks showing their growth.

Once they have reached maturity harvest them and place them in a basket. To get them to MD you need to perform a little ritual and say some words over them. Sadly this ritual has been lost to time (So you will have to improvise!)

To complete this quest we would like to see pictures at each stage (planting, some through growing and your ritual) and how you perform your ritual (bonus points for interesting location/theme). Images should have somethin showing they were taken for this quest and by you (player and and id are good for this)

This quest can be completed by anyone once. The reward will be 1 WP and a number of herbs (Which I promise will have a use quite soon now).

This is a permanent quest.

Credits go to Akasha who originally designed a similar quest, dst for digging it up and Eara for being an awesome TK.

Not sure if this is Extreme or not but...it seems I finally found my long lost twin!
 

Update!
 
Just hit Ctrl+M in your MD tab if you are Firefox user to mute all sounds on that tab only. Just make sure you are using the new version of Firefox.
 
It's easy, simple, effective and without any side-effects.
