Metal Bunny

I can remember two other topics, one from more than 2 years ago and 1 from about a year ago.. but that doesn't mean you can't start another one I'll start: I am awesomeness

Also, no max on password. Not a big deal, but 'Metalbunnyisawesomenessincarnatewoohooallhailthebunnyempire' can be a bit of a drag to type.. and yes, I changed it after 7 minutes.

Woooooooh! Happy B-day! Just like me, it's time to feel old!

Nope, I was the one who attacked, and I am pretty sure that even if I were to be dyslectic, that I can still differentiate between names starting with A, T, D, etc. So, yes, I did not make any mistakes.

I attacked XXX and I lost with 100% vs. 0%. It said sheath balance, with the blue hue, so it meant that I gained a loss. When I go to my daily improvement screen-menu-thing, the golden laurel one, it said that I had gained a loss. But when I check out the battle log, the screen-menu-thing with the 2 crossed swords, it then says that I wasn't actually defeated, but that I retreated. Also, when I attack people, and I win with 100% vs. 0%. The loser doesn't get a lost fight count. So.. bug? Either the lost fight count is inappropriately given or not given, or it's not properly displayed.

Dude, as said before, by others, it's not abuse. Not /until/ multiple people complain about it, or /until/ Yrthilian consistently and continuously harasses you. If this was an unique occurrence, you have right to complain, but no mod or admin will help you as Yrthilian broke no rule.

Woops, apologizing here! I forgot to credit Indyra for the idea. She came up with the idea of a way of remembering the past and I apparently, just ran with it.

LOL, hocking away your reward so soon? Tsk, tsk

I'm waiting for someone to give me the WPcodes, it's easier for me to give out all the rewards in one go. Also, I have uploaded all the stories of the festival at the archives. Go to MD-archives.com to read them. Uh, admin/mod? I can't edit the additional pages, so all the paragraphs are stuck together, forming one long solid wall of text. Anyway, enjoy reading it

Thanks Grido. Btw, for the creature rewards of the re-enactment, you can still pm me. I will post the stories later. Not the questions. If you won in the main deathmatch and you got a choice of what you want, pm me or post here. I'd love some feedback as well. And yes, I know, some questions were vague. And yes, it's my bad. But, you have to understand, I made all the trivia questions in one day (157 of them), and I couldn't get anyone to judge them. Because most people wanted to join in on the fun as well and others were unavailable. Maybe it's my fault because I didn't start soon enough, but you can blame the World Cup for that. So uh.. Feedback please?

War is usually confusing, especially in the start. The fact that it only lasts 20 mins. doesn't do much to help the situation, h-uh?

After careful thinking, I have decided that it's better to post the full stories, until after the deathmatch trivia. This is because of 2 reasons. 1: It's unfair to people who did go to the GoE and listen to the stories. 2: This may yet again, seem unfair to people who couldn't come because of real life issues. However, the deathmatch trivia rounds consist of 5 questions, 1 about each war and 1 about a random legend, as such, even if you only could come to 3 days, you should be able to win the trivia rounds. If you were incapable of coming to 3 seperate days of the festival, then it's out of my hands and you probably wouldn't have had time or knowledge enough to seriously compete in the trivia deathmatch anyway. As such, I will post the war stories, not the ingame logs, in either the MD archives, or the forum, or both, until after the deathmatch trivia is over. Also, rewards for day 1: Those who got points for the re-enactment; Pamplemousse, Mya Celestia, shnappie, Lightsage and Lifeline. Lifeline is the one with the most wins, he gets to pick a creature. Day 2: Well, much like the real war, there was no roleplay worthy of mentioning, as such, no points Day of tranquility, meaning no points for war. Day 3: Points go to Lightsage, Mya Celestia, Nylah Raynen and apophys. Lightsage had the most wins and gets to pick a creature, after Lifeline. Day 4: Points go to Pipstickz, shnappie, Manda and Sephirah Caelum. Pipstickz had the most wins and gets to pick a creature, after Lightsage. Day 5: Points awarded to people who reminded me of 'legendary' people whom I forgot to mention during the stories. 4 points to Grido ¬_¬, 1 to Manda, 1 to Pipstickz and 1 to Ravenstrider. Day 6: First 16 with 4 points total will go on to the deathmatch trivia endphase. So far: 1: Grido is the first to be placed with 4 points. 15 places left. 2-6: Mya, Lightsage, Manda, shnappie and Pipstickz. All five have 2 points each. 7-11: Pamplemousse, Nylah Raynen, Lifeline, apophys and Sephirah Caelum. All five have 1 point each. 12-16: Nobody.

Yarrr, happy b-day!

Yeah, you don't have to sign up anymore, lol

Well, we either postpone it, do it before 0:00 or.. Roleplay ftw Also, I decided that the creature reward for this day will just be part of a reward later on, so no worries. And this time I'll try and direct people more.

BUMP; Rules for fights on day 1: No creatures that weren't available back then are allowed. No tokens were there back then. There was only 1 shop reset. Creatures that were available, but needed so much age that no one could use them in the war, are not allowed. (Windy and Angiens) As such; No tokens! No more than 2 imperial aramors, bloodpact archers, jokers and GG drachs. No younger creature types; Rusties, Reins, Windy, souls, priests, pimps, angiens. Please send me a screenshot of your battle log. Every 10 fights or so. It's only for 20 minutes so you can't have that many screenshots to make. If you catch someone breaking the rules, please send the battle log and not a screenshot. Thank you

[/quote] Yeah, but either you leave your alliance for a short while, or you attack to lose. Besides, people in alliances have an advantage, if they are fighting to get most wins.

[quote name='I am Bored' date='21 June 2010 - 05:31 PM' timestamp='1277134263' post='62427'] wait..... there was only 1 war......... and it was truely a war...... the battle at the house of liquid dust was the last and some might say only real battle in the war....and they didn't lose..... no-one lost, khal went in and never came out, that's all there was to it....... [/quote] ¬_¬ http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/3681-war/ http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/5142-war/ http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/5216-diposing-yrthilian-as-king-of-golemus-golemicarum/ (which, in contrary to the current situation in Loreroot, did provoke major conflicts and internal turmoil, much like a civil war would) ¬_¬ Any particular day bored? Or are you just going to listen to the stories and participate in the last contest?

[quote name='Shadowseeker' date='20 June 2010 - 08:35 PM' timestamp='1277058941' post='62369'] Do we have to appear even if we don't "appear"? [/quote] Uh, if you mean that you have to be there, even if you can't be there, meaning that you'll be idle or even logged out, then, meh. It doesn't entirely matter, it's more of a nuisance to the other players, because they can't attack you if you are not there. But, if you want to go idle on the battlefield, then go ahead. And yes, if you can't make it, but did sign up, and you're logged out, then it won't be an enormous problem. It's a voluntary festival, not a mandatory camp of suck. [quote name='Mr Mystery' date='20 June 2010 - 10:53 PM' timestamp='1277067189' post='62387'] wait wait, does it last a whole day? or just a few hours after 0:00 server time? [/quote] It should last approx. 1 hour. (25 mins for story + 15 mins extra for slow readers/long story/ interruptions. Then 5 mins to get prepared/questions. Then 20 mins for fighting = 65 mins. So close to an hour per day, for the first 4 days) [quote name='Kyphis the Bard' date='21 June 2010 - 12:59 AM' timestamp='1277074792' post='62396'] However, just as with the last conflict, I do not fight for a side, I will be there with my Nutcracker on defence for people who need quick healing. I will be Roleplaying. I will also be casting Silvertongue if I feel like it. Just roleplaying, and picking no side, is alright with me, but you'll still be put into a group.. Probably Necrovion, because that was the side that 'lost' . [/quote] [quote name='Udgard' date='21 June 2010 - 01:00 PM' timestamp='1277118048' post='62417'] Buns, is it 22nd of June, or Juli(July)? I assume it is June this month, but just to make sure :b [/quote] Yup, this month And it would be more nostalgic if it was at the house of liquid dust, lol. I guess we can fight anywhere, as long as it is in No Man's Land.

Miq

That was almost worth a point lightsage And to remind everyone, even if you don't sign up for everyday, you can theoretically, still win the big fat prize on day 6. Also, only 4 people can theoretically get 1 point per day on the first four days through fighting, so that leaves an open spot for at least 12. Though, if we get enough though fighters, I am certain that no one person goes into day 6 with 4 points. Some with 3, that's always a good possibility. So people going to school/work, don't fret so much. Just hope someone records all the info I wrote down on each day and posts it on the forum

BUMP for the reason of more clearly being able to edit this post for the sign up of each different day. The earlier post is an answer to a question, so this bump is legal! Don't touch it dst! Okay.. this is all you people's fault for being completely predictable in your 'I Dun wanna read forum' ways. Well, it's actually my fault because I should've seen it coming, but, meh, I'm awesome, ergo, it's all your fault. Anyway, people tend to not sign up and join in anyway, or they sign up and don't show up. So, we're changing the sign up rules into pick up rules. A.k.a. If you're there and you feel like joining in, join in, as long as you pick a team and play by the rules. Points still go to the people with most wins, and most losses. However, emphasis will now shift, ever so slightly, from fights to roleplay. Just a tiny bit, lol. Send me [b]screenshots[/b] of your battle screens. Top 3 players with most points still get bonus points. Top winner still gets to pick a creature. Top loser still gets 1 point. Roleplay can consist of anything, as long as it has to do with fighting, or the war which was discussed on that particular day. No godmodding, no silencing, no breaking the chat ¬_¬. Keep to the historically correct rules. So, if there were no Reindrachs back then, don't use Reindrachs in your rituals. Each day has different rules, which will be shown in time. [b]Only send me a full battle log if you catch someone breaking the rules.[/b]

I'm not Mur.. so no, it's not an official festival

Tomorrow,on tuesday the 22nd midnight, or wednesday the 23rd early morning, the Festival of War and Remembrance will begin! I make confusing posts according to some ¬_¬ Hope this is more understandable [size="5"][b]What is this about?[/b][/size] [spoiler]MD is well over 5 years old. When the realm of MD had dawned, it was much like a void. It was like a void because at first it was empty, and there was nothing to give it meaning, nothing to help it retain major events as treasured memories. The world of MD was akin to a newly born infant. It was empty and it was small. But it was also growing and it was peaceful. But as with every child that grows up, things must change. Beginning in year 3, day 90, a creature appears that seemed as a novelty at first. But with the appearance of the Knator Commander in the realm, the Era of the RPC had begun. In year 3, day 121, the very first adventure log had been posted. A hero is wanted. BigC is that hero. These two separate elements may have seemed insignificant at first, but when these elements combined something magical had happened. In the void that preceded these two events, players were incapable of influencing the realm from within, forced to abide by the creator’s will. BigC’s emergence as a hero however, now signified the moment where players had grown to obtain powers, powers strong enough to affect change. And soon, other players would emerge and prove their worth. The change they would bring would be like nothing the realm had ever seen before. For these players had feelings and these feelings were different from the creator’s, and from the realm. These feelings turned into thoughts, arguments and desires. These in turn affected their choices. From their choices came their actions and their actions cascaded into each other and created something that the realm had never seen before. As with any child that grows older, conflicts appear and innocence is lost. . War had clawed its way into the realm and ripped across the lands. . When talking to people who are younger than me, whom I’ll casually refer to as newbies from now on, I noticed that these newbies usually know nothing about the past which I still remember. And I believe that the newbies should at least know about the more important parts of MD’s history. And the legends that made them. As such, I have organized a Festival of War and Remembrance. The idea came from Indyra and we just ran with it. For all you newbies, which, according to the active veterans list, is everyone except for four players, not including me . I know, the name can be a bit confusing, but, the object and goal of this festival is to honor the fallen, and remember the wars. It is not to glorify a certain side, nor is it to glorify war itself. Remembrance is the highest goal. [/spoiler] [size="5"][b]What are we going to do?[/b][/size] [spoiler] There are 6 days. Days 1 - 4 will have stories and then 20 min. long fights. Day 5 will be a story about legendary people. Day 6 is deathmatch trivia contest. Days 1-4: Stories about each war. People have to sign up IF they want to fight. If you don't want to fight, you can just come and listen to the story. Benefits and rules to fighting: People will be divided into historically correct teams. People fight with historically correct rituals. Top 3 winners per day, get each 1 point. Top winner also gets a creature. Top loser gets 1 point. People who perform acts of worthy and mentionable roleplay, also get a point. Day 5: Stories about legends and honorary mentions about players. Day 6: Deathmatch triva. We will play trivia like we are used to, until we have 16 players who each have 4 points. So, once you have 4 points, including points from the first few days, you will be placed in the deathmatch contest and you can stop talking for a while . When we do have 16 players, we will start a deathmatch trivia contest. First will be the round of 16, or 8 rounds of 1 vs. 1. After that 4 rounds of quarter finals. Then 2 rounds of semi finals. The losers of the semi finals go against each other for 3rd and 4th place. The winners of the semi finals go against each other for 1st and 2nd place. Is this clear now? [/spoiler] [b]Where will it be?[/b] Gazebo of Equilibrium, fights will be historically placed, but within No Man's Land. It’ll start on Tuesday 22nd of June 2010. The festival will last for 6 days, and thus will end early am on monday the 28th. [b]Just so we are clear, the first day is from tuesday to wednesday, not monday to tuesday.[/b] And what many of you have been waiting for! [size="5"][b]The rewards[/b][/size] Fighting 1: Choice between 1 aged and tokened angien, 2 imperial aramors, 1 joker. Fighting 2: Choice between what is left from day 1. Fighting 3: Choice between what is left from day 2. Fighting 4: What is left from day 3. Legends 5: no rewards… Day 6; Places: 16 - 9 (last 8); 1 silver each as a consolation prize. Places: 8 - 5 (4 quarter-finalists); 5 silver, 1 wpcode, tormented soul. Place: 4 (lost semi-finals, then lost against nr. 3); Bloodpact archer, or choice between Bloodpact archer or GG drach, if nr. 2 or nr. 3 don’t want the drachorn. Place: 3 (lost semi-finals, then won against nr.4); choice between WP or GG Drach 2 (lost final); WP code and choice between WP or GG Drach 1 (won final); WP code and choice between WP or [size="7"][b]Reindrach[/b][/size] Wooooh~! [b]Thanks to Mur for the drachs, yrthilian for wp codes and Zleiphneir for a couple of creatures.[/b]

Mur wants all content to be available for free, but he doesn't mind if it takes a bit longer, which why you can get credits if you vote. To need silver to get armor, shouldn't be an objection in itself, it's the fact that everyone will end up with the same armor at the end, which is the problem. It's better to create sets of armor that boost certain stuff, or certain tactics, such as; Armor that helps you freeze, or anti freeze stuff. Armor that nullifies part of the enemy's creature boost/aura boost or token power. Armor that multiplies your creatures stats (100% vit influence included), instead of your own power. (actually this one doesn't really.. make much of a difference from our own sets of armor) Armor that actually boosts a certain type of creature, in the way that creature boost does. Sun God armor, creature boosts... let's say fire elemental. And instead of just increasing the amount of VE it can steal, it also gives it scorch damage, or a burning initiative (extra normal damage, or higher initiative) What about turning the medusa armor into a water daimon/freeze booster? It'd make sense to me, medusa petrifies her enemies, and it looks like a water daimon What about armor, only for certain land citizens? It gives boosts to creatures from that land (GG shouldn't get any, the drach is already overpowered ¬_¬) LR (medusa?) armor boosts scout, knator and water daimon power. MB (sun god?) armor boosts fire elemental, heretic (<-- or not.. it'd already has creature boost..) What about armor (I'm not done yet) that is cursed, it takes away 50% attack stats and 50% initiative, but lets you fight with a summoned army, or a creatureboost for a strong creature, that has none yet. Or gives you access to certain areas? Or even changes your own limitations. A cursed armor that gives you 5% or 10% extra max ap, I know a lot of you want that. (hehe, even 10% max ap more is still 99 for neutrals), or even an armor that downplays /yet untouched/ game limitations! We all read about the berserker's way, about the berserker's who did stuff (). What about a berserker armor, that increases your own initiative by 15%, attack by 50%, but it also decreases your defence by 100%. That may not sound great, but if you allow the berserker to attack people every 4, or even 3 minutes, and alliance members every 10, or even 5, I bet you can get a lot of people who will have to go for a new strategy. Imagine the new tactical play here. We already have so many armor and weapons, it would be useless to get more armor that does the same. [size="7"][b]C'mon be creative! Don't just think about what would be cool, think about what would change the game, what would not only be cool, but increase playability! WHY AM I TYPING THIS IN CAPS? MADNESS?! THIS ISN'T SPAAAAAAAM IS MUR LOOKING YET?[/b][/size] , also, powerful armor, or armor that changes the game itself, such as that berserker armor, should perhaps be limited for to mp5, so that the newbies won't be confused. **edit** GG should get bunny armor, it increases awesomeness by 1×10^googolplex% (which, unsurprisingly, still doesn't make anyone else more awesome than me, even when I am not wearing the armor) and increases all stats of the player, and of all it's creatures by 1×10^googolplex%. On a different note, only a suave player, with an awesome name, such as Metal Bunny, get to buy it.
