dst

Damn! I should get up earlier cause it seems I miss all the interesting topics. One thing to add to what Burns said: mp3 and mp4 are tests levels but they are also filters. If you manage to get through them your chances of staying in the game increase. This is how it was intended. It's not something that happened although the neg xp with regen and stuff was pure coincidence . It was not intended to work that way but it did and it spared Mur a lot of PMs with complaints about xp reset.

Yes, you can use the credits to heal yourself. The defender can get it to: just open the battle log, click on reply for the fight and let it scroll. When it's over click inside the window and just hit CTRL+A and then CTRL+C. Open the message window and hit CTRL+V. So: select all, copy and then paste . Easy.

Ok. So here are the details: Place: Road of Battles Time: Saturday 12:00 server time Day 177 (hope I did the match right...) How: Rules changed a bit when I realized that it would be too much to fight everyone with everyone. So since you are 6 you will fight in 3 groups of 2 each. I have no idea how strong each of you is so I will just assign for everyone a random partner. Here are the groups: Death Bell - SoulRider Poppitz - KingDaimon Kyphis-Aeonas Each will have 2 fights: one as attacker and one as defender. After each fight both of you will send me the battle logs. After the first round of fights we'll take a break so you can heal yourselves (if you need it of course and if you want it). Then the next round will start. When there will be only 3 you'll fight each with the others 2 (again, attacker and defender) and we'll have at the end the winner. This stage might take longer cause of the cooldown between heals. You are not allowed to use combos. Nor bursts or free credits. The last 2 can be used to heal yourselves between stages. And now the rewards. After the contest I will post a list with all the available crits. The winner has the right to choose the first crit, then the second chooses second and so on. If there will be more than 6 crits (and they probably will) the processes is repeated (the first one chooses then the second etc). In addition, each contestant is allowed to choose a young crit that is normally available to upper mps (such as angien, loreroot crits, birds, unholy priests). Don't ask for tormented souls or drachorns! There is another challenge provided by Liberty: the winner can try to defeat Lib's mp3. If he succeeds he will get some really old archers. For suggestions and complains PM on the forum or in game. May the best one win!!

I, personally, like them.

They need a reason. Give them a reason and they will fight. Give them some nice looking lady crits and will breed...hopefully..

Be patient. I will post the details later today (server time) after a good day sleep. FYI all the mp3s that have enrolled are main accounts.

Porque puedo? Muahahaha!! ....hope google translate hasn't failed me... Cause it's my job to ask uncomfortable questions

Playing devil's advocate: why ban players who have more than 5 items from the auction? Isn't that also abusive?

"This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions. " *cries her eyes out*

Don't tempt me to make an example out of you, Esmeralda! You will not like it! I am not easy going like Chew and Grido. Grrr...

If you are mp3 yes. I said nothing about active days. Just mind power.

New update: we have another sponsor! Windy!! She will offer some crits also. Thank you Windy!

Ok. Then I will make the necessary arrangements and today or tomorrow I will post the date and the hour of the contest also the rules. I am thinking Saturday around 12:00 (server time). But I am opened to suggestions since I have no idea when you all are online (or if you can attend the contest).

Cause nobody can

Use this one for offtopic please. We'll keep that one for official announcements regarding the status of the game. What? I scared your posting frenzy? Yes, I know double posting . I will merge them later

Yap. I will advertise it this week.

[quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' post='34136' date='Jun 21 2009, 02:32 AM']That is a good point dst, but it does not hold true to other situations where people know they are have a possibility to die. For instance, the Cold War. The conception rate was at an all time low, and that was a REAL threat.[/quote] Except during wars (and I am not talking of the Cold War...i will get back to it after) in periods of depression more children are born. That is a fact. That is the question T asked. And why do you say the birth rate did not increase during the Cold War? It did. I agree: in US after the baby boom period (right after WWII) it had a descendant curve. And the reasons are many. But it was not the case with other countries. We are looking at a global thing not an individual. So don't question the fact (cause this is what you were doing). And I do stick with my opinion: we still have enough animal instincts that govern our lives and make us do, maybe, sometimes irrational things just to preserve the specie. After all..this is the supreme goal, right?

Ledah is like a dragon: you cut 1 head, 2 grow instead...

So, as a conclusion to Grido's loong post (which i did not read btw): good players cannot exist without DST Now on a more serious tone: "We are tehnicaly capable to do better yet we dont, and its not about survival also". How can you judge better? Who is the one capable of doing that? Aren't we the ones who wrote the set of rules that guide our lives? How do you know a thing is bad? Because you apply the rules, right? How do you know the rules are not bad? You don't! So see? You cannot say that humanity is good or bad. Humanity just is. At least for a while I remember a joke: One day a comet crosses the universe close to earth: -Hi earth! How are you? Long time no see! -Not that good. I got home sapiens... -No worries, my cousin had them...they will disappear eventually...

I think it's more a subconscious thing. When things go bad and you are in a way threaten by extinction -(ok...maybe it's a strong word) but you get what I mean - your subconscious tells you to do everything so the specie will survive. It's an instinct. So you do not realize it. But it's their and it does its job.

I propose the following: Everyone who wants to discuss one of the issues has to open a new topic and post here only the question and the link to that thread. It will be easier to manage and to read.

Disclaimer: I sent the question in Romanian and I received the answer in the same language. Thus Mur asked me to translate both of the. I tried to keep as much as i could the same words we both use. Mur, in case you find some things that do not fit just edit the post please. There are 2 situations but the question is the same: What will you choose? 1) To survive you need to break one of your most treasured principle (and I mean moral principle) - the supreme principle. On the other hand if you break it everybody around you will see you as a criminal. What will you do? Break the principle and survive or die believing in your principle? And to complicate things a bit: 2) In order that the most important person in your life(child/wife/mother/father/husband etc) to survive ...again...you need to break your supreme principle. If you break it you die and that person is seen like a criminal. What will you choose? Mur's answer: A subjective opinion: It's a matter of survival. If you consider yourself more important than the rest you will do everything to survive. If you see your life as a way to perpetuate yourself (you see the family as more important than you are) and also if you think that you will die sooner than they will then they should live. Selfishness is subjective and the principle you were talking about is more or less strong in every human being and it is influenced by religion, culture, intensity of personal feelings etc but in the end I still think it's a clear survival issue...same as love is something beautiful but necessary only for the survival of the specie.

13. They were eaten by IAB.

I had little time lately so...maybe next contest
