Glaistig

mm; it's a topic that's brought up rather frequently when new players encounter the number of mistakes. Going off-topic, are you new to MD? I see you joined the forums today, and I don't recognize your playername.

Well, hopefully then he'd have the book and could manage some wonderful magic with his newfound understanding.. /:

Here and here and here. /: But in my opinion, maybe the spell-checking should be done right now.. I posted somewhere that it really discourages certain players, and it'll be done eventually anyway.

Yess, join, and you shall earn the special attention of Glaistig. No, of course I don't mean to say special disdain, that would be quite harsh.

The two of you have a point here. However, though the problem is started by the win/loss system, it wouldn't exist if the honor system was changed somehow. The reason why other players want to get as many losses as those who have gotten a bad ratio is because of the honor system. The honor system give incentive for players to have a worse ratio than other players. Say that the win/loss system was changed back to simple who-did-more-damage, like it still is for mp3s, while the honor system remained. If that happened, the same thing that occurred in the past would reoccur: players would farm losses to gain huge amounts of honor (and exp bonus) from other players, and accordingly, the average balance ratio would keep on worsening. @Gchick, the reason why those who give you positive honor don't do enough damage to you is that they are probably new to the mindpower and have a better win:loss ratio than you and other players. Originally, people who gave you positive honor were supposed to be stronger than you, as they had a greater win:loss ratio than you. It just goes to show how the system hasn't worked out so well as hoped. x_x;

The honor system was implemented in the first place to prevent people from targeting weaker players with a lot of losses, but as we know, it does far from that. My first thought was that your suggestion wouldn't stand in for the original purpose, because as long as a player stays balanced, he can still choose to target weak players, who would become imbalanced and have a hard time getting back to a balanced ratio. However, as things are now, those weak players are usually more balanced than the advanced players. I like the idea because it would force players to stay balanced if they want honor.. maybe there can be some sort of dual-system, one to encourage players to stay balanced (the exp bonus was supposed to do that, but it doesn't offer enough incentive), and another to encourage players to target those of similar exp level or something of that sort.

I don't know this stuff either.. have you tried in multiple browsers? What browser are you using? Maybe you installed some sort of add-on which doesn't allow the links to work properly. /:

There should be a dropdown list at the bottom the page. For you, it'll likely say, "Enlighten (Import)." Change it to "Rooq (Import)" clicking the button with the arrow pointing down.

From mp3 to mp4 there is a change in the combat system, requiring both players in a fight to be damaged 15% and the loser 35% more than the winner for the fight to count as a win in the balance counter for the victor, and the loser to be damaged 85% more than the winner for the fight to count as a loss in the balance counter for the loser. It's clearer when you look at the "Ballancing fights" (spelled that way) link under your counter. When a fight counts as a win, it is called a "victory" and when a fight counts as a loss, it is called a "defeat." Otherwise, they will show up as "win" or "retreat" in the fight results. I believe when Gchick says green, he/she means a victory (it's green on the fight results page) and when he/she says gray, he/she means a win. To the best of my memory, wins still show up as green in the fight results page, but I'm not sure. My memory isn't the best, to say at the least.

Gchick means on the map, I believe. It might be an interesting idea for another extra feature :-D

Medusa gives some bonus to power, regen and other skills and has less def than Sun God armor. Anyway, back on-topic, magic isn't fully implemented. Very few right now have spells, less have information about principle-magic, and Manu is testing illusions on one account, I believe. I'm not sure at all how players will obtain magic once it is fully implemented, either. I'm inclined to think some magic will be story-related, and others granted if you have a role in the adventure.

No, don't x_x; I was just joking because Ren said I would point out a lot of errors. I make lotsa errors myself and it was easy enough to understand what you were saying.

I dunno.. I don't think Manu intended getting access to spells to be a simple defeat-this-npc trial and equip-this-magic-robe-to-gain-magical-powers. /: I think he already has some ideas as to how players will obtain magic abilities.

You have no way of knowing that I have no way of knowing. She asked and I gave my opinion. Many of my posts are what I think, not what I know. Speaking of that, I think I should put a disclaimer in my signature or something so I don't have to attach, "In my opinion..." to a lot of my posts.. Care to elaborate on why you wouldn't say that and what you would say? I'm particular to information about Khalz.

(: Same for me.

Hmm, yes, he spelled pyramid incorrectly, as well as necessarily, and occasionally forgot to separate his clauses with commas, yes, many flaws. His paragraph breaking was inconsistent, might I say, and he keeps capitalizing some words inappropriately. No, Ren. >_> I'm very impressed by the creativity in his thoughts, and I think his theory could well be correct, although I'm not saying I'm thoroughly convinced by it. In any case, I wouldn't be a good judge. Why you! Provoking me to reply.. I need to get back to homework.

You're supposed to get the VE/VP and action points once you click the links. They're temporary, not max, so any amount you get over your max value, you will lose with the regen counter.. Some reasons you may not see them appear: First off, after a bit of time, the regen counter can lag. You may need to refresh to accurately gauge when the next regeneration is. Also, the stats don`t update until the little golden circle under your bars of stats has a bar at the top, or where the hands would be on a clock if it was 12 o`clock. If in the meantime the counter resets, you won't find any difference if you were fully healed. You can update your stats manually by refreshing the whole interface.

What bothers me is that the blank papers are there.. I though Akasha wrote on them and had them in her possession. >_> Also, as far as I can see, there are two large pyramids stacked upon each other, not just one floating in the air. http://magicduel.invisionzone.com//index.p...post&p=8455 I like what phrog said.. it also made me think about convection currents. In the first place, what do we know about the fire? Maybe it doesn't consume at all, as it constantly burns without any apparent energy source. If you don't want to risk your own body, try the papers first; if the fire heats the air enough, the papers should float up high to touch the pyramids. I dunno, magic words might appear on them. In any case, they reappeared even though Akasha took them, so even if they are burned by the fire, who's to say they won't be in the shrines once again when you look? They're useless at this point, so experiment! MD also has this cube-theme going on. Going from Robins's theory, you could try make a cube out of the pyramids on the ground, if possible. I'd like to imagine the two floating pyramids rotating to align and make a cube, activating something. This is the first time I've heard something about shrines in the pyramids (Akasha! Why didn't she tell us? Did something change since she was there?).. Since there's a paper for each one, it sorts of makes me think you're supposed to write something to go on each and then put them in the corresponding shrine/pyramid. I don't know how you'd decide, though. People seem to think it's related to the principles, which could be, but there's only 7 shrines and yet 10 principles. ... back to homework. D:

About how some of the links lead directly to a page with only game rankings and no voting option.. I believe those are direct voting links that redirect to the game portal site. The other sites have an additional link/button to confirm that you wish to vote and make sure that you aren't being forced into it. Some also make you type in a security code to prove you're human and not a bot. At least, that's how I think it is. ~_~ I think magicduel is advertising partner to the two other browser games which are included in the free credits page. Maybe the times someone visits those sites from magicduel is logged or something.

I gain and lose honor when I'm attacking normal players, just like I did when I was outside alliance. The reward/penalty is not halved or doubled or anything odd like that. When I attack alliance members, I only gain or lose loyalty (I still don't know based on what).

First off, I'm not a goat. Second, I'm not mean; don't think I'm putting you down by saying you can't draw me. Drawing me is a privilege, whatever you feel.. yet I don't recall that you were the one who came up with the idea (indeed, I had to prompt you, quite unnaturally), and you've already picked others over me in any case now. You might've had a shot a while back, but now it's different.. My brilliance has grown beyond your grasp. Know that whatever you draw, no matter how you relate it to me, it won't resemble me in the least, and I won't pretend that it does. I decree that you've lost the right. You might feel that I'm irrationally offended, but really, that's how it is. You, however, should strive to be reasonable and just consider my wishes. I should not have brought it up in the first place when you didn't volunteer, I guess, but I could help but feel the need to enlighten you. *coughit'sallyourfaultMBWodinRencough* I still need to do some fanart.. but I'm waiting for some sort of inspiration.

Yes, I'd vote~ Although I did think that eventually free credits would be put back up once a solution was found to the bug, if it was a bug.

It's not your boat..

... don't, dst D: I need to catch up to his profile. Let me try instead.
