  1. I am glad dst, no one, and nimrodel are not lorerootians.

     

     

    Petty Dodd, I believe had already gone and spoken to at least a few members of Bell, Granite however essentially said, "come to me, this is where I am, because you need to put the effort in, not me" which isn't an appropriate way of trying to integrate yourself into a land and is also a basis for many of the comments that you say make lr people look bad.

     

    I can't speak for lr, but I can speak for golemus (I shouldn't imagine this varies much though) with regard to new players being allowed in, I know if someone will get on with the current citizens, because they've already started doing so. If a player has made no efforts to interact with the current citizens, I am very unlikely to vote in favour of their application.

     

    Grido's perspective (also not lorerootian): Interesting, but the anxiety of being pounced on every second makes finding NEW friends just get harder and harder with every active day, even across multiple names.

     

    Granite Wolf's not the newest player, so unfortunately there's that.  Acting like a new player is always rewarding...well, unless everyone's ready to pounce on you every second, which seems to be biconditional with not being a new player.

  2. Why is everyone talking about ignoring questions?

     

    I don't see this in Fang's request.

     

    --

     

    GG did have him, but even members of his own ally didn't want him.

     

    Seeing as nobody, and especially not Grido, has answered me yet as to what happened with fusioneers, I can't speak to this.

     

    Having seen multiple sides...Fang brings an energy to discussion that I haven't felt from any useful/powerful players.  The so-called "drama" works well channeled into something other than schemery/planning.  I could say that generally about MD, but it's very pronounced in this one.

     

    Help him out, ask some questions.


  3. Ackshan there are no longer any "official' RPCs. Dig deep into the announcements and read up on what happened during "The Festival of Pain". Mur demoted them all. (Except maybe Grido because he appears as an RPC on the Top WP list for some reason, and so do Peace, Raven, and yrth)

     

    I've read it, Rophs. 

     

     

    yes, it's what they do, even though they don't exist right now.  If they exist again, it would be what they do, again.

  4. Unless im very much mistaken, you are trolling this again. Further trolling and I will have to ban you from any of my development/discussion posts again Ackshan. It gets very old becuase you do this to nearly everything.

     

    (Despite multiple long discussions about it, I don't know where you're getting this perception.  You seem to call "trolling" anything where you missed the real intention, even if you later find it.)

     

    In terms of kings voting on a council whose purpose is essentially to have MD create things meaningful, or "to manage, organise, and do things in MD"...well, that's also what the kings do, that's what the RPCs do.    It might seem logical to have people who know how to do something decide who has that ability, but in this case it might not be the best plan.

     

     

     

    They don't really need to form a council, but I do believe it would be good to have some central organisation. (Normal council could take on that role, but because they're unknown there also is a certain distance to the normal folks.)

     

     

    (notable that the RPCs did their job individually...not in a council, though there were some meetings, not very productive ones.)

     

    And since from our conversation it seems to bother you...yes, it's what they do, even though they don't exist right now.  If they exist again, it would be what they do, again.

     

    (I really try not to wear masks here.  It bothers me, a lot, when you think you see the opposite of that, and I wish you knew better.  If you think it's spam, call it spam, take it out, warn me.)

    Separately:  The biggest problem with these positions seems to be that they break a person's energy cycle.  If someone doesn't have opportunity to recharge from MD within MD, they become inactive, simple as that, then there's nothing to pull them back except whatever the world happens to throw at them to remind them of us.  (anyone who finds this interesting, ask to see ackshan's knowledge doc.)

     

     

     

    Why not elect 2 members to PC and have Chew/Mur appoint 2 members?  The appointed member could be changed as needed and could replace Chewy having to spend so much time with the PC.  That way the interests of the players and the admin are represented in decision making process.

     

    I also think that anytime a member of the PC, whether elected or appointed needs to stand down, a new member should be elected/appointed in their place.

     

    Not necessarily.  We can handle periods of inactivity, the problem is when the role itself makes them afraid/reluctant to come back when they have to/want to leave.  To my eyes the lack of this problem is why kings have worked out so far.

  5. I realized that the above is empty without some explanation of what exactly was removed.

     

    At several points I had been re-stressing things for no reason...like "people shouldn't suffer" well of course not, but maybe something seems more important than that.  "Why am I reading this, how dumb does he think I am" well...sure, we can all think for ourselves, you didn't need to here this and this.

     

    In more than one place I pretended your confusion was just their refusal to think, well of course not...if I don't seem to have something worth hearing, why should someone bother to understand.

     

    Probably worst was to keep pointing out things dst had done and their consequences, as if she doesn't know or can't figure it out.  It's really not my business to be thinking for her, especially not if its her job, where obviously she'd spend a lot of time thinking.

     

    If you want you can bring in the worst of it, it is pretty bad.

  6. Just noting that I went back through my posts...had a sinking feeling about much of what was said, and wasn't able to see what exactly was wrong until the problem was pointed out to me, far too recently, in something I heard.  It's pretty obvious, but because it was so recent that I learned it, I won't elaborate right now.

     

     


     

    2) I cannot care less of what you think of me (that I did bad or good or that I am rude or whatever). I only care when you accuse me of things I haven't done. 

     

    For some personal reasons I kept posting in this thread and I might post some more but to be honest this is just me killing time: you'll not understand anything from what I am and what I am saying and what I do and I will probably not bother carefully reading your post because they are chaotic (I cannot find a better word).

     

    dst, consider this an apology for undermining you by using words to put in question your ability to think for yourself...I should have said much less here than I did.  I can't truly take back what I said and any effect that had, but I'll try to be more careful...

  7. People that do not belong to a land can still get roles/titles that are not specific to a land, you still need the support/authority of two powers. While i do want people to belong to a land, i do understand why some cant or better said shouldn't be part of a land. I think this is a matter for an entirely different topic, not this one. 

     

     

    What do you mean by this?

     

    I only periodically have felt an urge to actually belong to a land.  They seem to represent avenues of growth in connection to soul/self...Golemus sanctifies itself, Marind's Bell keeps out half-heartedness, Necrovion delves and comes to recognize the distracting will, loreroot directs itself through honor (all honor is honor of source, honor of door-openers, teachers, advisors, etc.)

     

    Why do I want a character to affiliate with just one?  I do, I just don't understand why.

  8. I have always thought of the tiny Angien as a totem.

    A sign of sorts, like "Abandon lightness all ye that enter" or "Please leave your conscience at with the coat check girl and don't forget a ticket"

    Most of you are theorizing that it has to do with balance, but I think of it more as a warning, a touchstone of sorts for those who enter to remember the small part of them that was lightness and goodness, and to either protect it or abandon it when passing through the Gates.

     

     

    Not strictly true. The shades are not limited to this Realm, and nor are the Angiens. They take different forms in our world and are...hidden in the open shall we say. Just as many other things.

    As has been mentioned, it is definitely important to note that the Angiens do not balance the Shades - but that what we can study one from the other can help us to learn something about the other ~ as well as about ourselves and our world potentially.

    In addition, for your searches, you'll want to remember that art is not rigid. Allow some fluidity in what you think might be or not be within the art in the Realm. On top of that, the Realm itself is not rigid, and the art Reflects this; you may be able to find something in the "bigger picture" of things.

    Note that the creatures themselves may even be able to tell you something...

     

    Contemplating this again recently (was Numerius Felix) I reached a conclusion similar to our dearly missed pamplemousse.  The small angien is...an excuse.  It's an excuse to descend, to the site of the well of tears.  

     


    Hush, hush, little one, don't be sad,

    You drowned in the well because you were bad.

    I believe, at this point, that descent into necrovion is guided by a similar set of mental events to the hatching of an angien.  Doubt creates action within duality as the connection to the balancing point is broken on both sides...the good doesn't seem so good, the bad doesn't seem so bad.  And then the whole doubt begins to seem small, and you move the opposite direction, through the gate on the right.  You dissociate from the angien, and that's the "mistake", (maybe not, might be an appropriate response to certain hatched dualities) because then it falls silent.

     

    E: Similarly, when someone is escorted in, they reach the demented ascent.  Right now this seems to me more like a play on words, that you ignore the duality to "go along with" the duality/crowd/doctrine...think "spirit of the herd" spell.  However, the rest of the way up, you'll necessarily make a crooked turn because of the choice to ignore a doubt/question/contradiction between reality and the doctrine rather than resolve it now...you'll have to resolve it later, that's the twist.

  9. I think that simply the process of creating this box, having there for people to discover would be very very beneficial.  Never knew what the black letters were, sounds fascinating :D

     

    I won't donate to making these, but would (without a vow, and assuming we can figure out practicalities, and since I'm lucky and can) loan to help cover the first box, i.e. YOURS, if that would take some pressure off you.

     

    And frankly couldn't care less if any more come into being; yours is the important one.

     

     

     

    If the remark about the knife was a joke, it was a painful one. Yeah i gave up the knife, in fact i bought one that fits my budget, but thats an other story.

     

    Two important people "voted" no for this idea, that already cut my enthusiasm in half, but lets see what others say. About being a waste of time, that i am sure of, but it will be a waste of time that keeps me alive and i always have time for things that "keep me alive"..its why i spent so much time making md afterall, not that it makes any sense investing so much effort in it if it wouldnt have been pure passion as the driving force to do it.

    :( well this seems like a much better thing to put real money into than that in a zillion ways, but what do I know about knives...
