He he...Happy B-Day again .

No. Tokens are a source of income for the game. They should be changed but not in that direction.

1.Even balanced and full heated the stat bonus is much much lower then 0.48. 2.Only few auras work:freez, anti freez, stat boost. As for how to change tokens, I think I posted somewhere quite a few ideas and I am too lazy to repeat myself and/or look for that post.

Yeah, I forgot about the windy . Also, I think the rein should be more powerful then the windy since you can get it just once a year and only one/account. So maybe rusts should be 3rd in terms of power.

No, no, no, not cheaper. And...it's a bit late to make it rare but you can try. What I want is to "fix" it, making it a little less powerful. It should still have the highest boost but high enough that maybe if you work hard enough *cough* grind *cough* or use the other features in MD Shop, a player can defeat the rusts just by using stats and of course knowledge (leave the antifreez and freez and all the goodies on the rust). Just my 3 cents...

I see 2 solutions for this problem: 1)The one with the warning but this will just well...warn the players of the possible bad outcome. If they still want to continue, something must be done because it's not fair to deprive them of a problem that can be solved by my second solution: 2)Let's make a topic on the forum were the players can post if they get stuck in GG. And from time to time (we can decide how often) one of the players that have the shu spell can send them to main land. I see several advantages of this solution:-new players start using the forum -there is no need for Mur's intervention on this -more work for LHOs (ok...this is just an advantage for mean me)

Oh..is Ledah's B-day? Happy B-day boy! He he...how old are you? 10? 12?

There is some sort of a bug/error/<insert name here> that appears from time to time when HC starts and affects the scores. It's not the first time players receive high scores at the beginning of the contest. It has happened before (a lot I might say). It's also a random thing (I got a high score maybe 1 year after I won HC) so trying to find a pattern is useless. Last time when competitors were allowed to participate twice was a different issue and it was a decision made by Mur due to cheating/abusing/etc. Clearer now?

I believe it has something to do with the DNA experiment or the new AL thingy. I experienced the same issue several time. Refresh again or if it doesn't work, just log out and then log in.

A nasty rash?

That's what I asked some time ago:remove that word or replace it. I don't care for what it is said as long as it doesn't pick on my private life or it has bad language in it. So, from my point of view this issue is closed.

Aha, as I expected: double standards.Also how can you tell she's not referring to RL? I don't practice cyber sex in MD so she will know how I am. Also, I need to remind you that bad language in public places is forbidden. I have not said bad things about her but she keeps saying them to me. How is that fair? Should I go insult and swear at everyone and then hide under the excuse that the person provoked me? Edit:I have other bad stuff in my PL. I accept them because of the way they are said. Why do I talk about double standards? Cause it's the same thing: rules were broken but nooo...czez has an excuse! Just because I was the one to complain and not all COE. If you accept this then I will think it's ok to go and post stuff like that and maybe worst ones (partially hidden under the ***). And since when is czez considered noob? (speaking of vets that should know better) And another thing:should I open a new topic about that swear? Since when is provoking an excuse to swear? (also it looks like but you don't know for sure but you just like to point out fingers). If you can't hold your grip then there is always the log out button. What would you say if I would go around MD posting partial swears just because <insert name here> made me mad?

Since something has been done I wish to re-activate my request also.I have the same issue with one of the players: [attachment=1477:PL.jpg] I removed what I considered to be offensive from her PL but she kept what she put in mine. Also I have this: [attachment=1478:czez insults2.jpg] I do hope I will not see double standards.

You gave me an idea (actually it's yours) but I want to elaborate a bit: create The List. Give points to players that you trade with. Put it on the forum. And be really strict:one bad trade sends the player to the black list. This way we can all see the traitors(sic!) and I doubt a negative reputation when it comes to trading will help them. We might as well pin the black list. Also, in time, as situations occur, you can improve the system quite a bit, adding rules or other stuff.

The idea is good but I don't understand one thing (I might have not read carefully, so sorry if I haven't): will you choose the persons you will sell the items? Because if you sell to the highest bidder or to the first person that asks I don't see this as a solution. What will stop the hoarders to buy them? Or even a worst case scenario:we know that there are players *cough*SS*cough* that are willing to pay real money for them. What if someone buys the item from you and then sells to one of the hoarders? My 3 cents

Ok...let's suppose you find the "criminal". What would you do against him/her? I have 2 theories about this: 1)It's a noob who did not know what he/she was doing so the incident will probably never repeat itself. 2)It's a vet that knows how to clear his/her tracks. And even if he/she is discovered he/she has the tools to escape your punishment (whatever that is. Right now there is nothing to do about it. There are risks involved when you leave your char idle. Don't assume that everybody has good faith and follow rules. This is MD . Rules are a different concept here, if I may say so. It may be a regrettable incident but it also might not. It all depends on which of the 2 theories apply.

[quote name='apophys' date='24 February 2010 - 06:32 AM' timestamp='1266985936' post='55052'] I haven't dealt with extreme boosts, but angiens alone never kill themselves. [/quote] But they do kill themselves. In certain conditions but they are. That's the issue

Opened due to MasterB's request:seems like lots of players experience such behavior. I trust MasterB's judgment so...here it is:post here if you have problems. On a side note:I do hope you all know that some crits do not give stats/principles.

1 GC and 6 silver.

Junior is not in charge of advertising anymore. That announcement should be changed, but until that just post the problems you encounter here.

The pimp went to this guy:Prince Lewas I had no space and no need for it.

Take the guest currently in room 1 and move him to room 2. Take the guest currently in room 2 and move him to room 3. And so forth. Put the new guy in room 1. Infinity + 1 is still infinity

Ok, here's my rant ( I have so many ideas that are dying to be written that I might not be too coherent or jump from one idea to another but hey! this is a rant after all ): MD dead? Hmm...nope, not really. MD is more or less how it was probably 2 years ago:lots of players which did NOTHING (except for maybe the monthly HC). But that was understandable. MD was still a new born.I remember tons of idlers at Willow's Shop with random rits (the ones I feared the most ) or with really easy ones (I loved the Santa rit back then). And that was about it...No quests, no allies, no nothing. But it still attracted me. It was a game free of rules(or they were so few they were not even worth mentioning). Where the hell in the world will you find that? It was a game where you had to learn by yourself (LHOs? Ha! I NEVER use the LHO button). SG? No! GGG? Hell no! It was FUN to chase players, to beat them, to discover things.Then the allies came along. Oh my! That was one great period:all the spying and plotting and suspicion...and I was part of that. And I never recall to RP in the way you are doing now. No! The feelings were genuine! I really hated the tree for not blooming for me! And since I usually hold grudges..oh well... Then RPCs came along. At the beginning it was exciting and really fun. There were quests, there were new and amazing abilities. Then, by the time of the second MD festival things changed...at least for me. Players changed. All of the sudden this new RP came along (or was it there but I did not see it? I wonder...and I really don't have an answer). At the beginning it was again, fun. But after a while I started to enjoy less and less watching others do it ( I never felt the need of doing**). It was too stiff. Too formal. Rules started to appear for RP! Rules for RP? Are you kidding me? Same as lessons on "How to be a better RP-er"....Are you insane? You can RP or not! You cannot learn how to RP. And the only rule I see for RP-ing is common sense (and honestly...it really lacks in MD). From that point things changed 180 degrees. Sorry to say this but part of the blame is bared by some (and I say SOME not ALL) of the RPCs. They became arrogant and more and more demanding. I know some of them that thought the Earth will stop moving if they will quit MD. I am happy that Mur proved them wrong . Then there were those small cells of players that were playing only amongst themselves. The players belonging to those cells became also arrogant (and if they had the support of an RPC...god helped us all...) and felt they were some kind of elite. Then SG came (or was it earlier) which in time improved a bit (see the mp5 rules) but I still see it as a plague even if at the beginning I supported it.When I saw what it generated I started to disobey the rules. Then GGG. Then tokens, then insanely strong crits and in the end the ultimate rits. RP changed also. From the innocent play between Yami, Wodin and MB we have now "professional" RP-ers...O_O. If you dare criticize their way of RP you're doomed. So...let's brief things a bit (no particular order): MD has now: -a place where noobs can train crits, get xp, stat grind -a second place where you can stat grind (oh...do you remember how stat grinders were seen one year ago? if not, I should maybe remind you and maybe I should also find the topic I opened for it) -almost perfect rituals (99% perfect) -professional RP-ers -cells of players (btw:when I say cell I do not mean ally or guild) -<insert here all the other things I wanted to add but forgot - I will add them as I remember> In the end we have one game full of bored players. It was bound to happen. Let's be honest:the first thing that a noob sees for the first time are crits, battles, stats and a nice little story that they don't understand. Then they found out about SG and GGG for the stats/crits and they meet some of the RP-ers. If they are decent they might be accepted in the exclusive RP-ers club. If they suck then they are accused of god moding or god knows what else. So noobs get bored and leave. On the other hand we have the vets. And here there are 2 types: -fighters: in time they managed to get the super rits. Stats are worthless to an mp5 so I doubt few are actually stat grinding. If they do then all I can do is laugh. As long as the tokens work as they are now no stats will help you defeat a good tokened rit. So fighters are bored (angiens were a good incentive for a while cause they offered something to do for the fighters but with GGG that was like taking candy from a baby). -RP-er:I do believe they got bored also. It's quite difficult to explain my idea but I will try: let's say you are a werewolf. You do certain things:transform at full moon, rip some throats, shed and then get back to normal form. How long can you do that? 1 year? 2? You'll say that you all gather and talk. Talk about what? I see the same dialogues day after day after day. I see the same actions from RP-ers day after day after day (I will not give names cause it's irrelevant). Sorry but you all seem bored to me. And the proof? Well..the topic that generated this discussion. MD is not dead! MD is boring. Because you don't have to work for things anymore. One of the reasons I believe the RPC concept failed is that they were given too much without them sweating for the rewards. Seems the illness is contagious. It spread to all MD. I had a hope when kings were elected. Sorry but I was disappointed. One of them is busy with cough* training in different lands *cough*, one is busy with rl and he barely logs in, one in the end quit and one well...this one seems the most active of them and pretty involved (sometimes too involved if you ask me). Sorry kings...for the moment I am, as I said, disappointed and as you all know I am not afraid of speaking my mind. I still haven't lost my faith and I hope things will change. I will stop cause I just spilled out lots of things. I have no patience of re-reading so this post might be, as I already announced, pretty stuffy and incoherent. **If I dont RP doesn't mean I am bad at it as some of you accuse me. I simply don't like it so I don't do it. I am walking a straight line here. On the other hand there are the RP-ers that want to be both (actually 98% of them try it - if you want to be a true RP-er lose the crits! You all say that crits are for battles. Why do you have them? Why do you train them? You don't need crits to RP the flushing of a toilet) and fail miserably. It doesn't matter that they have one super rit that will pwn everyone in MD. If someone strips them of that one rit they are naked. They will not know where to buy a knator... One last things: Granos, took you quite some time to figure that out . Stop plotting cause that fills up your buffers and other ideas (like the one you just issued) have troubles getting out .

Here is my scenario:you logged in and after a while you logged out (a while meaning around 10 minutes). Log out doesn't always count for the cooldown timer (it happens to me a lot) so when you tried to log back in you still have the timer from the first log in. Can you confirm after how long you've logged out? If yes then the above explanation stands, if not then...you probably experienced a glitch or something similar.
