No, they are erased after a certain amount of time or by some special events. Next time it will happen please save the hole log. What you have shown me is just a tiny bit of the info I need to check if it's something wrong or it is normal behavior. Is this ok with you?

I can help you by writing something but I don't know if I will be able to attend the meeting. I have no clue what my scheduled is for this week or the next one and I don't want to say I will be there and not come.

I think I can help you on "Set two - In the shadows - the use of ''agents'' or <How can one man win the war>; deceit and treason."

Do you still have the full log? Because the info you provided is insufficient.

Do you understand earth-talk?

Has any of you attacked an mp2 when you got the error? Or the last fight was with an mp2?

I used "you" as a general term. I did not mean you specifically shish! I talk to so many players every day that I definitely cannot remember everything and everyone. If I get irritated I let players know or just ignore them. Few are the ones that made my blacklist and they know who they are. But this is not the point. The point is that in a way I felt cheated. I wanted to help and I really read all the poems even if I HATE poetry. Then you come and declare the winner another player then the one decided by public vote. I really don't understand WHY you opened the topic. And don't get me wrong (it seems you did that already so I will take precautions): I have nothing against Ailith and I have nothing towards Phantom. So, as I said: I wasted valuable time reading something (yes, for me reading poetry is a lose of time) then voting and in the end I find out that I voted just for fun. I have better ways of having fun, thank you. Clearer now? I do hope so.

And another question: did you fight the aramors in GG recently? (before the issue occurred)

Why did you make the poll in the first place if you decided who the winner is by yourself? Shish...and you yell at me about not being reasonable when I rant about quests where subjectivity is sooo big! Shish!

Omg! I just realized that the pic Mur posted shows a guy killing a clown! WHY? But WHY? You clown haters and killers!!! Also...I have an idea: mugs with GG drachs and mugs with Winds. You can have the second one after you break the first . Or you cannot have the second if you don't have the first . And if you have the GG mug and you get the rusty you also get a <insert bonus here> which can be a cookie

I had to resurrect this topic. I just finished a trilogy which was absolutely amazing! Try them! The author:Stieg Larsson And the books: * "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" * "The Girl Who Played With Fire" * "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest"

I want something else (and I am very very tempted to get it done by Christmas time). So...something like the MD dragon Mur has as logo on the right side of a black T-shirt (the dragon should be gold of course) then my decalogue written next to it.Then on the back, again, written with gold the address of the site. Just because I want a personalized MD T-shirt. Oh...a nasty one would be to put my avatar, my tag and my description on a T-shirt

I found pigpen by pure coincidence . I was looking for something else and found it. But from there...I had no clues what to do next...and it was soo easy...

Yeah, yeah, yeah . I am the infidel! But don't cook me! I am sour! And bitter. And Grido...next time no more pics for you!

Rhah, I must admit: I envy you: you have the most amazing sense of balance! You were leaning forward at a 30 degrees angle and then come back to the initial position and all that without falling on top of the table! Wow! Just wow!

Invisible FTW

I did not mean you! Damn! You spoiled the fun .

I managed to attend the meeting . How it went? Hmmm...I will let the pictures talk. If you are lucky enough you might see also some short movies Which I must say...are really really fun to watch And now a small teaser (all persons in the pic are MD players - try to recognize them) [URL=http://img690.imageshack.us/i/dscf3488.jpg/][IMG]http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6885/dscf3488.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Imagine this: you try a quest and you fail. Or simply don't get the wp cause you are too late/etc/bla bla. In this case you can be mean and give the quest a bad mark. Not to mention that you can give bad marks to quests even if you don't even try them. So I agree that the rating should be provided by the ones that solve them. Not by everyone. Or we can grade quests on the forum but not in the game ( I mean for the ones that don't solve them). As for that link: of course I know it. But you cannot use it right now so...we can say that it's not there.

I wanted to write this topic for a long time but I always delayed thinking things will change. So the issue is with some of the current quests. For a while now we have almost 2 types of quests: 1)Write an essay on which side of the bed the grasan sleeps 2)Spam..aaa find player x then find player y then find the place where the grasan drinks his morning coffee and PM the quest creator. The first type of quests are ok as long as you don't exaggerate. But let's be serious. Some of the subjects for the essays are pure stupidity. Not to mention that I feel like this kinds of quests show that the ones who put them are lazy. Pff....and then they call themselves quest creators! It's the easiest way out: Yay! I have a quest! Write me how I brush my teeth in the morning. I will not give name. They know who they are. I understand: in the past the RPCs were under a certain pressure to put quests up but now there are no excuses. Also those kind of quests are highly subjective. And they encourage "I wash your hands and you wash mine". The second type are ok as long as you give some decent hints. But writing vague things that apply to 20 players is not good. Imagine that I spam all those 20 players. Then 5 more players spam the same 20 players. For those 20 players it will be highly frustrating. And for the ones spamming. We have the tools now. Don't go putting up quests just so you can give out the wps and to get the shiny goldly Q doc. It's not mandatory to make a quest as soon as you get the wps. They will not go away if you don't use them. Just do fun and interesting quests. I was even thinking of making a sub forum somewhere (ok...I was going to ask Chew to do it ) where we can grade quests (since we are graded when we solve quests but for the moment we cannot grade the quest creators). This will hopefully give us a image of what players like/think/bla bla. Oh...and if you are wondering: I did my share of both quest types. Did I enjoyed them? No.But that did not stop me from doing them if I really wanted that WP. Don't get me wrong: there were quests where I had to write essays but they were good. I can give examples here but it's not the time. Not yet. So I am wondering what types of quests do you like.

Nahblard: I am not the one who set the standards for MD.The way to play the game kept certain types of players while the others got bored or frustrated and left. I do like the current status. And I will tell you another story: Few months ago someone showed me another online game. It looked nice. I started to play. It was a good game. But it had a major flaw: the players. It was almost impossible to talk to most of them. They were rude. They lacked the basic common sense. The game was playable without too much player vs player interaction but it was no fun from this point of view. Even now I still want to play it but every time I start it I exit quickly cause of the bad karma it has. The conclusion? I prefer such an elitist medium to a mediocre one. You have the chance to improve yourself by talking to smart people. If you want just a hack and slash game or a click to advance the Internet is full of them. I always say: there is at least one option: to go away. It's each one's decision. You say I am a powerful player/bughunter/forum mod. You're wrong. I am just a player.I was punished just like everyone else when I did wrong things. And I was awarded when I did good things. For me doesn't matter if you are Loreroot INC's CEO. If I have something to say to you, the titles will not stop me. That is the problem with MD: you all see something players as gods. They are not. They are just normal players. Some of them got to that position simply by buying their way up. I will not go into details because they are not significant. So, stand up for yourself. What do you have to lose? It's a game after all. You can always come back with a different character. Honesty...hmm...why do you think I am the bad guy (well...girl) in MD? Not only for certain things that I did but because I don't hide my feelings. I will tell you if I hate you or like you. The bad part is that I like few people (yes...that's one of my flaws) so I don't have friends in MD (ok...i think I exaggerated a bit...maybe I have 2 or 3). There are 2 kinds of players: the ones that need me so they act like my friends (no worries, I know who you are and if I played along doesn't mean I am stupid) or the ones that fear/hate me so bad that they stay away. @Daemon: You have the LHOs to guide you. THEY are the books you need to read. The only problem is they are "special books". You need to ask the right question in order to get the info you want. See, there's a trick to this also. It forces you to interact. It forces you to think before asking stupid questions. It forces you to think when you receive an answer that is not always blunt and straight forward. [quote] A well written guide does not tell people what to do but helps present options and correlations between ideas so others may better be able to understand and take free action themselves. I also disagree that guides would make people bored and thus hinder them from interacting and making friends. People choose to not interact and make friends. It's not hard for them to stand around and talk and make the effort.[/quote] A guide is a guide. Otherwise you can call it riddles book. You have to understand that it's not the game's goal to make you take the best decision. It's simply about decisions. It forces you to evaluate all your current knowledge and decide. For example: What will you do if a girl asks you to play a game? You have to take that decision based on the info you have up till that point. If you would knew from the beginning that by taking a certain decision you'll end up dead in Necrovion would you still take it? When you also know that taking the other will open the Drachorn Layer? And another example: Would you recruit let's say...creature X if you would know it is worthless at a higher level? Would you not recruit 10 creatures Y if you would know they are amazing at level 3? Would you level creature z knowing that at the next level it sucks? If those guides would exit then the multiple story choices would be useless. Don't tell me that you would not choose the paths that will open Necro and certain parts of Marind Bell if you would know which decisions to take at what time. This is one of the main reasons alts are allowed. You have the option (see? another one ) to replay the story as many times as you want BECAUSE this is one of the ways to find out what the best choice is. You already have in the news box some hints. If you take the time and read them you'll learn a lot. Then you have the announcements.98% of the players don't read the announcements. You have no idea what a source of info the announcements are. But few bother to read them (basically cause they are so many and some of them are not that important or they are not important for everybody). Let me resume: you have the hints in the news box, you have the announcements, you have the LHOs, you have the battle logs, you have the adventure log and you have also the forum. As for the forum: if you know where to look you'll be amazed on how many things you'll find there. But again...few read it and few even bother to use the simple function called SEARCH. There are even some small FAQs put in place by old players. I agree: part of the info in there is outdated but the basic is still there. Do you really need more guidelines? If so then...maybe MD is not the place for you. Oh and one last thing: you can always ask anyone. The worst thing that can happen is that the person to whom you send the PM will just ignore you. But don't ask for an official guide. I doubt we'll ever have one. Damn...this is a long post so I will stop...for now.

Yeah...maybe you're right. I tend to read all the posts and try to reply punctually. So now what? I'm not even a good troll? Anyways, my goal was reached. Too bad MB spoiled the fun too early. And if nobody else has anything to say I will close this topic.

I have decided to fill in the empty spots. So..do you have what it takes? Read my first post before posting here, please.

Well...I am not bored and I might delete your post for spaming

Drats! I wrote half an hour a loong and calm post. Then I erased it. So:MD is a hard game. Yes, it requires patience. Yes, it has filters. Yes, it is an elitist game. Yes, it has players like me who yell and shout at every player (no, I don't shout only at new players: I shout at everybody who gives me a reason). But it gives you something you'll never ever find in another game:freedom! You are allowed to do whatever crosses your mind. The limit is indeed your imagination. Are all those (patience, filters, elitism) a high price to pay? No. I say a big NO!. There are lots of wrongs in MD but there are also many more great things to compensate. MD is not the game where you have specific goals to attain. You have them but they are few and after probably 3 months you can reach them all. MD is about creating your own goals. If you don't do that you'll get bored and leave. MD has no walthroughs, no help pages, almost no hints. It's the best like this. Why? Cause of the above statement. Imagine this: you register, go through the tutorial and then you are given all the information you need (game mechanics, crits levels, etc, etc). You will be bored to death in a week. You'll not have time to make friends, you'll not have time to integrate yourself. Also, if you get discouraged by a member who yells at you (aka me) then you're not too <insert the word I want to but fail to remember>, are you? Let me tell you a story: I was a noob. Back then Wodin was the star. He was arrogant and full of himself. I used to love stepping on his toes! I wanted to be better then him. I wanted to make him cry . So, instead of running away cause big bad Wodin stole my toy I defied him. I started to learn, train and in the end I defeated him. I don't quit cause of players! If you do then you show weakness. You need a backbone to survive in MD. I told you something mean? Be brave enough and reply. I might hate you for that but at least you may earn my respect. Again, MD is full of hypocrites. So I prefer a honest swear then a nice a**-kissing. Bah...I am bore to write those things again and again and again... [size="7"]One last thing: BURNS!!! I am not OLD![/size] [color="#0000FF"]*undresses the troll costume and throws it after Burns*[/color]
