What I did: I upgraded one of my resource producing grasans WITHOUT collecting its product. What happened: Instead of Grassan Huvou* the name is " Biological Bomb " and I also have some nice warnings:

My first impulse is to jump and name things that will affect me on a short term: mp6, crits, items, etc. Let's say those get done. Then what? We'll be 10 people in MD. There is no fun in winning something when you go against one or two opponents. There is no fun in destroying something that doesn't require work and strategy and that doesn't affect lots of people :P. So at the moment I would say this: priority is to finish the A25 or whatever the tutorial is called so people would stay. Remove the filters or replace them with something more fun and easier to achieve. Set up the LHO or whatever to help new players. Start advertising to lure new players. I agree, working on the above might be boring and I know from my personal experience that if I have a big project that I am not really found of, I stop from time to time and work on stuff that I enjoy. So between working on fixing the tutorial, other stuff can be attempted (again, enjoyable stuff). But the focus should be on the tutorial.

Trade completed. Topic can be closed. Oh before that, if anyone is in need of wiiya, let me know and we can work out some trades.

Chewett wins the bid. I'll PM the ITCs.

No. There should not be a recaller for kill/revive tools. I haven't seen the need to one. When such tools are lent, there are agreements done for the return/usage/others. If the agreement is broken by either party, the "victim" can always report/sue/etc. As for getting items from "inactive" players, that's a big "No no". Some items were custom made for that player. Some paid a lot to get the items. Why would you strip them from what is rightfully theirs?

If by Sunday evening (ok...22:00 ST tomorrow) I receive no other offer, the wiiya and uncut diamond will go to Chewett.

Thank you Ivorak. I just copy pasted some questions form a trivia in 2009 and back then we didn't have so much "history" to talk about so the questions were focused on the game play. If I will go ahead with the trivias, I will combine the questions, no worries.

@lashtal: Thank you! BTW: it seems I can apply a theme to make it more MD like. I'll post a pic when I am done. I can also embed it on a "website" so I will see if it's possible to add it to one of the clickies. Wish me luck! LE: Good news! I can add a theme! Check below (ugly one but I didn't bother too much): Bad news!! I cannot save the results until I upgrade to more features! Which I might do...if I manage to make some pretty decent themes. Embedding would not solve the issue...I think...unfortunately...

@Aethon: actually you got more. As I said: I will probably move away from free form text or have questions with very well defined answer. I will see if I can make it feel more MD like (there should be some options there about pics and colors...hopefully). At the moment I am only interested only in the functionality. Also I think I can embed it so maybe I can run it from a clicky or something...or...something Many thanks for taking the time to test!

@Chew: After seeing your answers I am more and more inclined to move to true/false and multiple choice questions but I will see how others do and say. Thank you for testing! For once the roles have changed

So I am looking for tools to run some trivia games in MD. Or sort of a trivia...more like a MD general (or specific knowledge) test (yes, getting ready for Christmas period and.or Halloween). What I did: I set up a test with number of questions that need to be answered in a certain amount of time - 5 mins for 10 questions in this case. There are multiple options to set the questions but for the moment I settled for true/false and free text types of questions. What I need: few players to test it and give some feedback (max 4). How to do it: use one of the registration codes below here. For registering, you DO NOT NEED TO PROVIDE AN e-mail ADDRESS. VERY IMPORTANT: When you register, please use as First Name you MD player name and as Last Name your MD id. Codes: 3D045846962XV QY445846966B3 CV945846967P6 EQ24584696099 When you grab one, post in the topic so nobody else takes it and tries to use it. Additional info: You can change your answers if you still have time. Each question has now just 1 point (I can assign any number of point to any question but for testing purposes I used 1). You'll see only the percentage of right questions and your score at the end (again, for testing purposes I allowed this feature - it will prolly be removed during an actual test). Free text questions usually have alternatives: for example if the answer is "120 VP" , if you use only "120", it will still count. It will not count if you put "1 20". I can see the answers so if you misspelled, I will award you the point(s) but I'd rather not have to check answers because that means more work for me hence why the automated system :P. Please take the test and let me know how it feels. I am most interested in its fairness. Thanks in advance!!

I will sell a pack of 5 wiiya. Minimum bid: 6 SCs or 2 common items (of my choice*). I will sell if I am pleased with the offers (but you know that I am not spoiled ). Additionally: selling 1 Uncut Diamond for let's say...3 common items of my choice* or for SCs (if I like the offer). Happy bidding! * I'll choose from the common items you have and yes, we can negotiate the items.

blackrider, you want the shmsh or not?

And he strikes again: nadrolski bans No one from grabbing shared items for 1440min. All shared Marindbell items held by this player have been returned to the item dispatcher. nadrolski: For depleting MB waters last week.

Ledah - done.

I'll take both offers: blackshade's and Ledah (since they are equal in value imo). Contact me by forum PM to set up the details. Also, please specify which shmsh you want: crit or fenth.

As title says: selling 1 shmsh (or a shmsh fenth). I will accept GCs, SCs and credits (or a combination of the 3). I will sell it if I am pleased with the price.

For me it's simpler: nadrolski has banned darkraptor for "depleting" the water in MB. Let's say that the first time it was legit although I haven't seen ANY rules about depletion from any king/queen in MB hence nadrolski applied his own laws to it (laws which apply only for others and not for him when he depletes other lands). Second ban was plain and simple abuse. It was nadrolski flexing his muscles because Mur made no rules for the tools and because he could. For this I would punish him especially since he's doing the same (deplete) to other lands. If for Burns doesn't count, it does for me. Remember when he used to yell in the mood panel something like "practice what you preach"? This shows that he's a hypocrite, unfit for the role he has because he cannot be objective. For the record: this is what nadrolski has on him at the moment:

Nad said it himself:me,No one and Eon are not around at the moment so he needs to flex his muscles and found you as a scape goat. Imo nadrski is just abusing his power because there are no rules against it and because he can. Congrats darkraptor, you won the jackpot. @nadrolski:no worries, we'll be back once the summer is over so enjoy your abuses while you can.

Although I am an engineer, I must admit that I cannot describe the process of the clock transformation as well as Z did ( well..mainly because what I created is not functional object but rather an...esthetic one - as much as you can call "esthetic" the "thing" I have made) so I draw something to try to explain better what I wanted to make. My clock transformation is very simple and has turned a hated object (death to mornings and alarm clocks!!! and I really mean it!) into something that brings me joy and comfort and usually makes me switch to a better mood. Please meet....*drums* the Christmas Ornament! (blame the heat wave for this idea!) How to: you take a fancy table clock and remove the glass. Remove the limbs as well. Decorate with whatever Christmas motives you like. Attach a string to it and ta da!!. Now as an additional part, you can add at the back the small mechanisms that certain greeting cards have (or why not, even the clocks themselves) that sing Christmas Songs. And you can activate the mechanism by pushing one of the baubles or twist the nose of the snowman or whatever way you fancy. Can be used as a gift as well. So from yucky, nasty, mornings wrecker to snow, Santa, presents and most important joy in a blink of an eye! (well...not really but it sounds better). Hope you like it. I surely did and hmm...I'm not tempted to try and put in practice for real my idea.

@Mods: please split the topic cause it's getting offtopic. @Aeo: you don't deserve an apology because you did wrong what you did.

Says the bitter putty who lost his ally cause of Eon and now bites his fingers cause he's incapable of doing anything to get it back. On topic : it's sad to see that people don't see beyond words. What Eon wanted to do was to unite a bit the land although that is almost an impossible job as long as the green with envy phantasm still lurks the game. LE: I removed the grido part after reading Chewett's post. I am not one that hides under the rug when making a mistake. So I assume it and correct. So yes, grido, the great god of spam DIDN'T remove/hide my post.

I got the same warning at home and at the office: Adding the certificate as exception allows you to connect but maybe this should be solved as it looks quite bad for inexperienced players.

Confirmed. Tested with 2 skateboards.

Why would you do that? Or how is that a positive aspect?
