Happy B-day Sunfire!!! Lots of cake and best wishes! :)

Happy B-day Miq!!!

1st of April. Fools day.

Where does it say that people from other lands cannot take part in such a "contest"? Could you point me the ANN or the rules that says that? I remember that at the beginning, anyone was allowed to run for King/Queen regardless of their land.When has that changes?

Why only GG citizens can claim the title? Why can't anyone from a different land challange you?

Aha...sure. You quit "all that is MD". Dex should change its definition about "quitting" or add "fang quitting type" aka leave with a heartbreaking post and return less than 2 months like nothing happened. GG fang!

Because you all praise love and happiness amongst MD players. And you say we should help each other. As for the noobs, I think I remember saying that certain noobs who have the "research gene" will start researching no matter what while the others will need some time before they learn there is such possibility in MD. I didn't say they are banned. They are allowed to but how could they do it if they have no idea about it?

I seriously think you have no idea what sarcasm is. And I seriously think you're one of the incompetent LHOs around so I would not be surprised to hear that you don't know basic stuff. Now, on topic: I wondered what you tipu and lifeline said to Handy Pokets that made a demi god/god/whatever comment. I certainly haven't seen any of the entities (entity?) speaking in chat (except one time which is still a mystery). And moreover I wonder why they chose to speak. Meh...questions that will never be answered...probably. Apart from that I see one BIG, HUGE issue: you were on a MD quest which you CHOSE to take OUT of the game. And after you did that and your quest was "spoiled" by whatever you are the one claiming that you HAVE to move outside the game because of spying. So to summerize: you took your actions on whatever messanger you used, actions were stopped, you complain you cannot use MD chat and you're forced to move outside the game because you were being spied. And another short summary: you go outside the game by your own choice -----> you complain you are forced to go outside the game. Something is broken here. The logic has long left the building! Hence your argument is invalid.

Maybe you (this you=lashtal) personally don't intend to look snobbish or brag and all that stuff. But most MD researchers brag about it. And even that would not be a problem but they think they know stuff but never give a change to anyone to come with counter arguments for the ideas. Again, I emphasis on the fact that I don't mind the actual research, I mind the attitude. I, personally, am not into this stuff. It's just not appealing to me. BUT I DO like to read stuff like the one in Laphers' papers. Or Rendril's - he has a similar research in his papers - or at least had last time I check. I haven't seen either Laphers or Rendril bragging about that. But I have seen others saying they have tons of doc on <insert place here> with MD research topics. And NEVER see anything from them about those topics. And they feel proud and better than others. Good for them. But for me they are only braggers that contribute nothing to this world. Yet they consider themselves the cherry on top of the cake. The below "you" is general: I agree that maybe "research" should come as a deeper layer of MD but why later? What if a noob* sees something we, the vets, miss because we have already a mindset for MD? Why would you deny yourself that enlightenment? Why would you deny the noob a preview of what's beyond crits and fights and all that? Just so you can feel special? Newsflash! We are all special! :D * I know "noob" is considered insulting but this is how I have written it for years...cannot change old habits...and don't want to :D

I'll give you the example that hit me today (and from where the whole idea came - No one's post was just the incentive to spill it out - and he also pointed me the link) magicduel.com/member.php?p=Laphers His Exploring MD thingy. That is what I consider research. How to beat the Loreroot Guards is knowledge imo. Research = bunch of observations and ideas drawn from those observations Knowledge = facts So I would say that your info Maeb is research.

So basically you're denying the less gifted with the research ability the access to information because they have nothing to give you back? I thought research is done for the good of MD not the good of certain individuals. Am I wrong? And if you are "researching" stuff but you're not willing to give it to the community then why brag about it? Just so people would know you have a "currency"? I've seen Mur posting stuff about his ideas (aka research) on the forum (I don't know...the 8 fold thingy and the symbols one and maybe others that I cannot remember). Right now I remember NOTHING similar posted by any member of MD that brags about their research. And I am talking STRICTLY about RESEARCH and not knowledge. Cause I agree knowledge is a currency. But is this "research" really knowledge or is just a bunch of speculations about this and that which MAY be accurate but it can also be VERY WRONG? But people tend to believe they have something valuable and are willing to trade it ONLY for something similar. Wouldn't it be easier if this research would be shared and everyone interested (and not our daily trolls) would share an opinion? Wouldn't that be the point of research? Or is it something super fancy, hush hush that you only brag about and use it as a potential currency? LE: heh...took me too long to hit submit so Burns and lash already replied...

Imo that is the WORST "feature" of MD. Everybody is so hush hush and secretive about their research and proud that they "research" stuff. But except very few people that make their research public, everybody else keeps the research under tons of locks but they do brag that they are "into research". Bleah..

Have you ever heard of PMs? Or Sunny Bedroom? No? Maybe you should since you're also an LHO.

Yes indeed! Cause you are all sooo innocent and NEVER talk behind someone's back! Yes! You talk in plain open. So you're right. Use skype and chatzy and whatever chat client you have. I will cry rivers of tears for not being able to "SPY" on you. Actually I will start right now. I will go to my corner and start crying. Brb when I am done.

You're an ignorat if you think you'll catch the players talking about their entries. And you're an ignorant if you think you will be able to manage a FAIR voting poll. I never asked you to stop all possible cheating. I am asking you to stop THIS one. Public voting proved to be the most cheatable and unfair type of voting. Change it or add something else to it. Is it a difficult quest? Maybe. But the prize is high enough to be a strong incentive for cheating.So I ask you again to change the way of voting.

And how will you make sure nobody will slip the info about their poem? I have at least 3 examples when such info was shared. Also how will you control the poll? Are you sure that friends will not vote friends based on the above issue? Only public vote is the WORST method of voting. Wait...there is another one but I haven't seen it in a long time. So I suggest you reconsider the way you will choose the winner. Such prizes will defo attract cheaters. And you'll have no way of stopping them if you follow the path you have started.

What do you mean by "public voteing" ? And also this: "personal details about the character ". What does it mean?

It seems it randomly happens. I don't have popup blockers on MD but I still get it from time to time. Especially on FF.

I LOVE B-day topics for players that stopped playing YEARS ago! GG!

I tried fast but the blade I have used is too thick. I need to find something slimmer. I tried with something slimmer but it doesn't have the weight to cut such a strange...thingy.

Question: how do I hold the ciggaret? Can I put it on something and cut it there or do I have to hold it with one hand and try to cut it with the object held in my other hand?

And on what account would you like to recive the tickets? Does alt abuse ring a bell? No? Yes?
