    John Constantine reacted to dst in Giveaway   
    So, I have 2 avys in my vault that I would like to donate to 2 new players that don't have one yet (providing anyone likes them). Yes...they should prolly have the avatar unlocked because I would like to see those avys in game.
     
    No alts.
     
    First come, first served.
     
    The avys are below:

    John Constantine reacted to Chewett in HTML 5 experimental creature page   
    The creature page currently is exceptionally slow for anyone who has more than 50 creatures due to the large number of flash objects. If you are above 20 active days you can test out the HTML 5 interface. It is in work so many of the features of the primary creature page are non-functional but it should load a lot faster.
    Currently its a proof of concept and may eventually replace the flash based creature page.

    John Constantine reacted to Muratus del Mur in how come Brulant was admitted into Sotis and you not?   
    First of all, admittance into SotIS is not some greater purpose or ultimate acomplishment in MD, please stop thinking that. Nothing happens in SotIS, really, and eventually I might leave it when I will consider i built it up as i wanted it to be. It is just the personal ally of the crazy me. It has a meaning, of course, but a personal one. I just play my 'role', one I am bound to, but SotIS is just a symbol, no authority or extra benefits come with it.

    I consider SotIS ..CLOSED. more like a unbreakable safe.... in a way. But i have a weakness, like every system does. I keep always a secret path to the safest places. The most guarded secrets have a way to them...you know why? Because if you would somehow manage to "close" a secret fully it will simply vanish and re emerge with an other 'owner' and an other form. It is the secrecy and safety of the way in that gards them, but without a way in, they die.

    Admittance into sotis has many forms. One was the symbol quest, seems however guba vanished afterwards because his last challenge was one consisting of something i consider he was missing. Anyway, each time i keep a door open, but it will never be the front door. I made the symbol quest, that was one door, once it ended (and the waiting time was part of the quest), that door is closed. It follows a time of 'tranquility' but shorter than a month i am preparing an other door, till someone gets closer to it.

    Brulant just happend to find such a door, realise that it is his ticket in to the sotis, and asked to be admited based on that reasoning. It took him a single pm to get into sotis and quite fast. Ofcourse to reach that point it took him his entire lifetime here in md and maybe more

    In more details:
    After closing the symbol quest, that door into sotis got permanently shut (or at least for a while), and i designed the second. I left clues, leading intuitively to the other door. All i was expecting was a certain explenation about 'why the sun'. In addition it was needed that that someone would specifically ask for admitance into sotis based on that alone. Brulant sees it maybe as a coincidence, i dont know, but i know there are no such things as coincidences, there are only event collisions.


    I bet he doesnt realise himself why he wanted or why he is in. As shadowseeker just told me, his role might be clear for me but unclear for him, yet he asked for it. Now thats a research puzzle


    Nothing new! what Brulant did is nothing new as I saw others get so close to this secret door into sotis yet never try to actually open it. Doubts , lack of initiative, you name it, they passed by saying oh how beautiful this thing looks, it might be a door, but never walked in. I can recall people like Menhir or others that sparked my knowledge with very very interesting posts, i thank them, yet none realised they were admiring a door that only needed pushed to be opened, it was already unlocked at some point, indirectly, through the clues i left behind.

    Other people like awiiya discussed with me the very essence of the question, but this is about admitance into sotis not about how intuitively smart you can be. Admitance into sotis is not a mark of your knowledge, i have people right now in md that i would be honored to have in sotis, yet i dont, so i will never 'drag' them in just because i can do that with a word or two.

    The perfect candidate had to know what he wanted, to know the key, to know when to use it, and most important to know how. Even the start of the pm reminding me who he is, brulant, without assuming he is already a legend,lol, mattered. I told Awi a while back that symbolically speaking it is a great danger to allow anyone into SotIS, ever. Yet i follow my own principles and fall into my own traps if it happens. My logic is flawless and denying it when i dont like it it would mean to lie to myself. There was a door only i knew, it was used, Brulant is in.

    That is what gives my quest power and reality, not my name.

    I would like to have this money as well. Not that I really need so much, but I really want to get an avatar (and I'm trying hard with the free credits in this way). I will use what remain later for other purpose.

    John Constantine reacted to Muratus del Mur in A seed   
    Plain and simple thought seed i found lost in my gardener pocket, lets see what it grows into:
     
    The present is caused by both the past and the future. We see this very clear when we talk about the past, but the other half of the picture that we miss is that the future is also causing the present in equal proportions as the past does.
     
     
     
    ..and yes this is a forum post because i am waiting for some smart replies

    John Constantine reacted to Eara Meraia in PC Stepdown   
    Greetings all,
     
    With this post I officially step down from the Public Council position.
     
    First of all I want to thank every person who voted for me to get there and demonstrated their trust in my skills and abilities. I am also very grateful to Chewett and Syrian, also Zyr and Maebius for our work together. In spite of our good and bad days I have learned a lot and I consider it absolutely positive experience.
     
    There is a number of reasons that made me do this decision:
     
    My RL availability. Since I am studying and working together it is really hard to put additional time in my schedule during the exam period. All other times are fine, but those times are really tough. To prevent some comments on this – yes, when I applied for PC I knew very well about my exam periods, but I was hoping that until the first exam period comes we have a good functioning and very active team which can compensate my partial inactivity in that period. This did not come true, since other members (except Syrian) are too inactive, which makes the responsibility too high.
     
    Another reason – giving other motivated and smart people around a chance to try themselves in PC role. Even if I do feel I am capable of doing it further there is always somebody who can do better and I think PC is a perfect opportunity to find such people.
     
    All in all I still stay an active community member, but without any political responsibility. I certainly continue working on all quests I announced lately, so my stepdown has no influence on those. I will also try to organize more quests in the future or help everyone who needs my help.
     
    Wish you all a wonderful day.
     
    Sincerely, Eara.

    probably they don't need to justify it, some people feel bad to ask anyway so lets not put them belly dance for this gift. I will check their account and decide myself, Ofc it helps if they would give a reason but its not mandatory

    i will check this topic a bit later in  a day or so, and pick some of you. I will announce who, but not why. Prince Katt said she doesn't know who she should select and left me do it, but if she changes her mind please post here directly (would be faster than private message to me :)) )

    John Constantine reacted to Muratus del Mur in Princess Katt donates 7 x 50$ credits   
    Princess Katt decided to donate her current available credits to 7 people. Each will receive 50 credits.
    Neither me or her can decide who should receive them so I am making this a public topic.
    This is NOT a contest, she wishes to make these credits as a gift to whoever needs them most, preferably people that have no way of getting credits but are active and enthusiastic.
     
    Please tell me, here, public, who do you think needs these credits.. or simply ask for them if you think it would be a nice gift for you more than for someone else :)
     
    (i will check your existing purchases and will give more priority to people that don't have credits already, i hope you understand, this is a donation afterall)
     
    Thank you Princes Katt for supporting MD even if not actually needing the credits!

    John Constantine reacted to Eara Meraia in Christmas Tombola   
    Title:
     
     
     Christmas Tombola
     
     
     Description:
     
     
     This event is similar to Christmas Santa (Christmas Reindrach) that is being conducted previous years. The main idea is presents exchange between participants.  
     
     
    Instructions:
     
     
     If you like giving and getting presents on Christmas – put your name in this thread. After the registration is over we randomly assign names to every participant. Each of you will have to decide on the present you want to give to another unknown person beforehand. Your presents can be creatures, items, coins. Everything you think is worth to be given as a present. Naturally you will be able to receive the present from somebody else who will get your name assigned.
    Once you decided you want to participate there are 3 things to do:
    Post your name in this thread until deadline time. Send me a forum PM with the name and CTC/ITC of your gift creature/item etc. until the deadline. Deliver your gift to the person after you got the name.  
     
    Prizes:
     
     As stated above you alone decide on gifts you give. So you cannot be sure that what you get is absolutely equal to what you give. But if you plan to participate in this – keep in mind – you make nobody happy if you send them a fresh Remains or 1 unit of Unidentified Plants (as an example).
     
     
    Deadline:
     
             For registration: December 23, 2013  -  23:59 ST.
     
    You will receive the name of recipient assigned for your gift during December 24 – 25.
     
     
    IMPORTANT NOTES: no alts allowed. Only 1 character pro player.
     
     
    Have fun!
