Metal Bunny

:*), after so many years, so, very, very, many years, it's finally going to be fixed. Finally, no more newbies asking why it isn't in correct english. Surely, we have been delivered from evil

Remember, people with exceptional skills, always have the opportunity to get a promotion If you promote into the military branch of the alliance, you will get actual silver as a wage. Hurray for awesomeness!

[quote name='Rhaegar Targaryen' date='09 June 2010 - 06:06 PM' timestamp='1276099598' post='61473'] I just count your posts as annoying.You obviously know nothing about the issue, nor you read at all, and as most important, you have nothing to do with this issue. Not to mention you have don't know how to think here at all (I certainly won't explain things to you), are you overloaded with emotions over this (and why would that be?) or you are trying to provoke with that behavior, I don't know nor I care.You deserve no reply. [/quote] And yet, you replied. Let's keep it on topic shall we? I so dislike seeing another flame war.

The other mercenary went AWOL, so, yeah, I'm a mercenary, and I will fight for Mya. I will pm you about payment, the awesome bunny has no need for silver.

That's great news, it'd suck if the Church had to undergo even more warmongering to establish it's leadership, just so that it could stabilize and grow again.

BaH, disgusting! Know ye not the lore of old? (otherwise known as stuff I witnessed and influenced myself) Savelfuser, the great ghost was once a fellow alliance member, part of the first triumvirate along with me and yrthilian, who were left to rule the GG alliance when Wodin Ullr fell valiantly in battle. I relinquished my responsibility to yrthilian, so that I could focus more on being a better mp6 and RPC. Yrthilian continued to lead GG. Savelfuser left, stating that he had wished, from the start, to create his own alliance, for the greater good of Loreroot. Savelfuser cared for the worshippers of his church, and cared for the land. He healed, he gave advice and he proved to be loyal to Loreroot, above that of old friends and old lands, such as GG. Now look at what you are doing. A civil war? And an unjust one at that. Firsanthalas was /chosen/ and then placed into power. Firsanthalas states and holds true to the fact that he wishes the best for Loreroot, much like Savelfuser. The only 2 real arguments you could have for a coup would be if the people screamed for the King's throat and if the King's actions were adverse for the land. Neither is the case. There has been no war, no malcontent, no malice, except from you. You say that Firsanthalas betrayed his land before; why would a king do so now, and for what gain? And most of all, are you not the one who is betraying his land, right at this very moment? As an old friend of Savelfuser, as a person who knew him, the very thought of what you are doing now is repulsive. Stop what you are doing, apologize and for the love of Savelfuser, stop making his church look bad. The GG Alliance officially support the King of Loreroot in this matter

To actually add in another mp level is to prolong the road to the inevitable, because everyone will once again, end up at mp6

Oh for the love of Mur's unholy gimp named Grido; Boohoo, new mp5 can't do anything against veteran mp5, waah, waah, waah. This is not a real argument. If it was, you should be complaining about how new mp3 and mp4 can't compete as well. GGG is making combat boring/ grinders are becoming more than a nuisance. Yes, but it is you who must adapt, it is you who must change, [b]if[/b] you do not wish to enforce a scorched earth policy, such as No One did. Scorched earth, no matter how much you complain about how bad it is, how counter productive it is, how it is chasing away new players, it is still a very effective tactic. Why? 1) If you are bored and you blame the boredom on GGG, why not become less bored and destroy the source of boredom? (A.k.a. I have nothing to lose, you have so much more) 2) New players are leaving all the time, if they manage to get to mp5, trust me, either they will stick with it, or they would've left anyway, because face it, GGG is not the way the game was meant to be played, or else it would've been a real institution, such as LHO. 3) Machiavelli time; GGG is being an unarmed prophet, meaning that the GGG is quite vulnerable. It is vulnerable, it is ridiculously vulnerable. If you have to setup special rits, to make sure that you don't get swords and sheats, and I can, using a random ritual, deny all of you that, just by standing there, then really, you deserve to be denied it. [b]If there is a greater power in your way, adapt, or run away, to come back another day. [/b] You may not like at all what I am saying here, but the fact remains; Power through force of violence or threat of violence still remains a very viable and effective tactic. Simply because, the victim can't force back anything substantial upon the greater power. Yes, mods of GGG can 'chase us away' with spells, but you only have so much spells, and we have so much ap. So much ap . Now, I know what you are thinking; it's unfair and that Mur should do something about that. You will campaign and get the mods some real power, etc. No, no you won't. If so, then the Dojo would've gotten the those powers well before you did. The only reason why the dojo actually works, is because it is [b]enforceable[/b], GGG is not. And that's after the dojo went through an enormous amount of changes. ¬_¬ Mur views this as an experiment, so if the people decide to gang up on GGG and outright destroy, there is [b]nothing[/b] you can do about it, no matter how unfair it may seem. 4) My last reason as to why scorched earth tactic here is effective and viable. You may say that it is not at all viable, simply because GGG is just a platform and that it will be carried to some secret party somewhere else where people will farm each other there. But that's the point of the scorched earth tactic. Because GGG was [b]NEVER[/b] meant for new players. It was meant as a tactic to gain for the veterans. If by terrorising the GGG, I can force the newbies away, [b]while within the margins of the game rules[/b] then, you have nothing substantial to complain about, and I will have accomplished my task, through perhaps unfair means. I say, go on No One, force the GGG to go somewhere else! Force the mods of the GGG to go somewhere else, perhaps even in secret, [b]which was the frigging point in the first place[/b], where no new players will stumble upon on accident and thus forcing them to fight the normal way, [b]which will alleviate my boredom problems[/b], which, coincidentally, [b]will make the GGG enforceable according to its own self imposed rules[/b] as well. I see no problem with scorched earth tactic, except the highly subjective problem of hurt feelings. How is that for an alternative? And if you don't want to go for a scorched earth tactic, then you have to adapt, you'll just have to go with the flow or create a new institution. Either way, for all parties; Choose, or stay and lose

Uh, a quick reminder to Yrthilian and others. And I am pretty sure I am one of the very, very few left who did it this particular way, but: I gained my stats the hard way, by attacking other mp5 (well over a year ago now at willow's shop, when it was still a gathering place). Others did abuse certain ways, such as when there was no max heat and the skills per battle gained were tremendously high. I didn't. As for what I think ggg did to the game; well, it is a bit late and others have given similar motivations and arguments as mine, so I'll only say that it is indeed more detrimental to the game than benificial. Primarily however, since grinders can grind anywhere ¬_¬ I did, I hunted all of Marind Bell and No Man's land for prey, just to try and be the 2nd person to get 1k in att stats (which I was ), as I was trying to race BigC

The Mercenary part of the GG Alliance, of which I represent 50%, is in deliberation and requires more time contemplating before any other choices or deals can be made.

Sweet, was I really the first one? And yes, impromptu is a real word.

Wow redneck, way to show your enthusiasm and respect for the new couple to be Anyway, congrats , I'll try and be there and eat all the rice that'll be thrown..

This is getting beyond ridiculous... I skipped through a few of the last posts because I got tired of reading all of this. After reading CrazyMike's reply, I hope none of you have is unwise enough to continue that debate in that topic; as for actually starting such a comment; I must say that I really, really dislike arguments ad hominem, Fenrir, but seeing as how this entire trial is already in that direction, I cannot fault you for being human. I am asking this pre-emptively; Please do not debate the war in here, create a seperate topic for that in the offtopic section, because it has absolutely nothing to do with MD. Not only that, I request that everyone at least stops with the inflamatory posts with either the seemingly, or actual derogatory, degrading, insulting or humiliating comments. If you can, please wait until after the trial, if you have accusations, then relay them into the trial, and please stay on topic.

Read the rules; conform or leave. However, there is no rule against asking people (politely), to be a bit nicer and conform to etiquette. However, there is no rule against ignoring this and being a not so subtle ogre (this is not a reference to anyone), so long as you don't actually use your club to pound in someone's brain. Heh, there isn't even a rule where it says you have to respect someone else's opinion, nor is there a constitutional law in any country in the world that protects people from getting their feelings hurt. There are however, laws about actually harming, or threatening to harm, as well as general anti-discriminatory laws. Last time I checked, only the old RPC's were expected to conform not only to the rules, but to etiquette as well. Moderators are not RPC's. Please close this topic?

Dude Z, that's.. while not a really diverging set of specialities, your work certainly is Business economics student, though I am planning to.. take it.. slow , student life is too nice.

I remember him as the prototype of LHO, he was a good friend, and much like Grido, I tend to make fun of them, but t'is all purely in jest Either way, I refrain from saying who are actually legends, particularly because people see me as some sort of 'living legend'. Man, all I did was play. Sometimes I was good at it, sometimes I sucked at it. Does this qualify me to say who is a legend? Hardly. Let the people who actually require legends, those who crave a history to base themselves upon, let them hear the stories of players of old, and let them decide, based purely upon the merit of their achievements, whether or not this was naught but friendship, or fundamental game play difference, who is 'legendary'. And you will see, that over time, as long as the older players remember and talk about them, that legends will appear. Jonn, (for the newbies, he had double n's, no h. ) was an RPC, not a great fighter, a nice friend, a good LHO, who did good things for MD. He is a slightly more disturbed version of Grido, because he likes gophers, and Grido only likes to wear dresses and a big male named bubba.

Oh dear gods, I must be getting old, when I see newbies like Burns being named living legends... No offense burns , but I remember your mp3 newbness quite well

I am glad to announce that after several months, I think close to the amount of time a pregnancy takes, someone finally has solved enough riddles (of d00000m) to earn herself a WP. And no, it's not Dst (Muahahaha) Grats to *Indyra Sirenias* Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay She should be proud as she has the right to say that she was not just smart enough, but [i][b]persevered[/b][/i] long enough to get that first wp. Yes, perseverance, because if you hadn't read the rules quite so closely, then you should realize that if, theoretically speaking, you have an unlimited amount of guesses, it just takes some time. And for those people complaining as to why my riddles are so hard and bla bla bla, I will tell you this: I hold my quests to a certain standard, and that standard is the difficulty akin to the Broken Tile Puzzle that Mur made, which gives you a WP. Next time you complain, solve that thing first, then look at other people's quests which sometimes can be ridiculously simple/ extremely subjective, then come back and kiss my feet, hah! Some people have also asked why I give so many riddles. Well, because 1 correct riddle could be a lucky guess. 2 could be lucky/google or wikipedia or other sources. But 4-5? , hehe, so many riddles force your mind to look at things differently, it forces you to readapt your mind to different concepts and perspectives. For instance; I had a person who solved 3 riddles easily, but the last one he just couldn't solve, even though [i]I[/i] think it was an easier riddle to solve. It's a matter of perspective and I want you to prove to me that you can change it. Also, Indy deserved the most prestigious of honors of having solved enough riddles; she gets to be called awesomeness by me On occassion though, not too often. *Edit* Phantom Orchid is the 2nd who got the reward for solving enough riddles

Sah-weet, finally, someone worthy enough to help improve MD's code Don't let us down! No pressure though, heh

I remember you, you were mp8 when I went to mp4.. so that's.. ages ago Basically, you were 'old' when I joined, and now I'm considered old, so you're practically ancient now Have fun re-exploring Major changes have been in new creatures, new combat abilities, alliances have been redone, heat has been nerfed, there is now max honor, you can't attack across mp levels, magic has been introduced along with illusions, new places have opened up, winning and losing from mp4 and up have changed and storylines have been introduced and continued for a long time. Oh and items

[quote name='pamplemousse' date='01 April 2010 - 05:07 PM' timestamp='1270134442' post='57360'] Grr. [/quote] Aw, poor Pample, I feel your pain. Honestly, I do. On the 1st of April, 2 years ago, Mur announced that a new monster had arrived and I thought that this supposed new strong monster was just a joke by Mur. But it wasn't , it was KC. So... actually, I'm more paranoid than you are, but it's still sorta the same

Woooeeeh

Amazing, within the scope of a few seemingly insignificant posts, this entire topic has debased itself. I do not care about whether or not you wish to insult someone or wish to invoke pain and suffering upon someone, the matter of fact still remains. You may not use offensive words. Decide if it is offensive to minors and if it is, remove the comment and warn the poster. Then close the topic ¬_¬ If you wish to debate the inherent value of punishments, power and even personal feelings, then do so in a new topic. You are derailing the entire purpose of this topic. And going off-topic is distracting people from fixing the problem. So fix it and hold true to the rules of this forum. Uncroyable ¬_¬

Given the earliest history of gg; you´re not the only who thinks like this.
