lol.. You do know that it sounds very alike to what Khalz was trying, excepting the addition of BigC and the Kelletha thing, and you've seen where he went. What's to say this time will be different? Also, about the alter name "Khal's Klan," what is the official position towards Khalazdad? Will he be a part of any of the alliance's goals? About this Cannon thing.. I've heard rumors, but not really that much. What is it, really?

That's the same popup-kind I was talking about, except mine kept on repopping every few seconds >_> I think three different ones, each reoccurring. I should post a screenshot, still, because things wouldn't load. D: I've seen those error/popups before, but just every once in a while previously. I think it's stated somewhere that it's not a big deal and you should just refresh.

This would be for researching shades? Like a guild, the same as Seekers of Enlightenment? If research, would you just look around ingame or try to meet the shades?

I agree with Gchick. Something has to change, yes, but it's not like this is a better system. I actually think it's a bit worse. But it's good to hear suggestions.. I don't really have any. Hopefully this will spark further discussion.

XD That's what I thought.. makes me wonder why so many want to moderate. There isn't much flaming and rule-breaking that I can see. But then again, two active mods is sort of a limited number even for a small community. Well, if you need extra help, I wouldn't mind.. it doesn't sound like a whole lot of work that I wouldn't be able to manage. But if you have enough who already want to be a moderator and don't need any assistance, don't mind this.

I tried MD in FF3, and it's really bad x_x; Almost nothing loads except the chatbox and playerlist, and popups repeatedly appear. However, I've heard that others can use FF3 without any problem. I would guess that's not related to yours, though? Doesn't sound like the same thing, except you have one popup when you start.

I'm thinking the current system is pretty screwed as well.. but I don't really agree with this suggestion. The newcomers to MD or just one of the mp levels would find it hard to stay balanced initially, and with this, they would rapidly plummet in honor just trying to rebalance (get more wins). With this, they could hit the -500 mark pretty easily and thereafter be unable to get more exp to become better at winning.

Maybe it's because you need to clear cache in FF Have you ever been to the Ferry in IE before?

You can post topics now! What changed?

I believe some are still releasing heat at Angiens Ferry, but many others seem to have stopped and are waiting for developments instead.

(: There are many contests all players can participate in. Head contests are tough for a new mp3 or 4 to win, because the older players have better creatures, but by participating they learn thing they can use the next time. Once, there was a puzzle contest (Broken Pattern Gazebo, still there if you want to try). I believe there will be more puzzles of that kind, perhaps involving the other MDA gazebos. If you keep your eyes out, you will find that rpcs give out quests that are mostly based on wit rather than game experience, involving riddles, encryption and puzzles. I'm pretty sure more kinds of challenges will appear as game development progresses. The latest one for mp5s only was just one. Also, who's to say next time there is a game mechanics challenge all mindpowers won't participate?

I'm hurt.. I'm older than both of you relative to magicduel, I think (I was a little more than halfway to max XP when the challenge started). Yeah, it's slightly unfair What can you expect, though? In any case, there will be more contests like this sort of thing so you can take those chances to prove yourselves then.

It's fine to tell bugs, as long as they're reported.

Nice Care to reveal your tactic?

... What do forum mods do?

Hello I don't think I've seen you ig yet. Or have I?

He would have to get back to mp5 if he reset

What contest would this be? o_O Alliances? Why do you need to lose exp to participate in alliances? EDIT: yeah, I need to read announcements

Does that fin. stand for finish? Magicduel is a game you can't finish Also, a couple of lhos joined the team in early mindpowers (3? and 4). I believe Morgana was pretty new to the game when she became a forum moderator. If you have a good understanding of the game, you don't necessarily have to play it for long to become more involved

@_@ This is a good one. Feed me more of your theories~

I wonder if she will check the forums.. Happy birthday

Well, you can still join armies Both Wodin and Khalz are actively recruiting, I believe. But I get what you mean; there should be some official documentation in the game, and features besides being put on a list of soldiers. Have you read that Manu intends for alliances to become similar to guilds? Perhaps the 10-member limit is temporary, since this is early testing. Some of what you suggested about Clans sounds like protectors. A protector is one advanced player who has legions of minions that worship and sacrifice heat in return for help, such as spellcasting. Perhaps they will be implemented into alliances eventually, as it would be odd to have a protector who is on the enemy's side.

WARNING: This copied pm contains descriptions of areas in Necrovion, which may be considered spoiler if you would rather have no idea of what it is like until you have access to it, if you haven't gotten into there already. I considered screenshots but decided not to post any for this same reason. I spoke with GlorDamar a bit, and he requested that I investigate Necrovion for any signs of a connection to The House of Liquid Dust. Since I always like to gain knowledge myself, I agreed. The following is a copy of a pm to him, with my thoughts on the discoveries I made. --- I've taken a quick look to try spot things of interest. You believe that there is a tunnel or connection of some sort with the House of Liquid Dust to Necrovion, which may very well be. This presents the dilemma, however, that we can't get into the Caves of Torment nor Deathmarrow, which are parts of Necrovion. However, there are a few possibilities I saw in the parts I can access. At first I was looking for gaping holes, a literal tunnel. The first one I came upon was the Well of Tears. I sort of wonder what fills it.. tears, perhaps? It makes me think of the liquid dark drops the Shade Sentinel spoke of. But maybe it is hollow, and you can climb down it. There is a hole in a tree in the Island of Seclusion. Actually, there are a couple of trees with holes. For instance, there is one in the Trial of Agony.. the gaping holes resemble eyes and mouths of a gnarled tree. And then there is the large barren tree in Accursed Growth, which reminds me of RavenHold. The thing that caught my eye about this tree is that the whole looks like something you could enter, and not like a building as I would imagine for the Accursed tree. There is, of course, the cave-like entrance in Demented Path, quite noticeable. Interestingly, it is a hole in a wall of brick that is of discernable width, and yet, we can't see the end of the wall or scenery behind it through that hole. Maybe it's just the position of the sun, and the overhang creating a shadow that obscure it, but this leads me to surmise that it continues on, perhaps through the hill/cliff behind it, if there is one. It's a bit hard to tell. In any case, it looks considerably odd. Looking at the map, I believe it may lead to the Caves of Torment. Looking at the area again, I spotted what seemed to be a wisp of darkness, or a black tentacle on the right side of the hole in the wall. I couldn't really discern whether it was coming out from the ground or if it was just floating in the air, but it doesn't resemble a weed to me. What could it be, and mean? I continued down the path, coming to the Demented Ascent. I looked back at the wall, and as best as I can tell, there is no terrain backing the wall of bricks up. Where, then, does that hole lead? It gives me the shivers. The House of Tainted Times.. the name? It has a certain parallelism with The House of Liquid Dust. I don't know if it means anything, but that suggests the two may be connected. After all, who says the connection has to be a literal tunnel? I remember the Shade saying that something terrible happened at the House of Liquid Dust, causing shades to congregate there. Or does he mean causing liquid dust to congregate there, forming shades? I wouldn't know. But whose house is this one? The house itself has four archs on its lower level leading inside, and what I presume to be six arch-windows on the second level. I can't go in, for some reason which I cannot describe. Plaster seems to peel away to reveal bricks underneath, and a foundation of stone tiles (I'm not familiar with masonry). On each side, there seems to be a tower. The right one's top has crumbled away, but looking at the left, there is a clock on the front face. It has a flat roof, which stands four pillars and an arched awning, resembling a gazebo on a tower. That's all I could note, for now. I could probably provide more apt description (screenshots), but that would take time. Please tell me if you'd like them. You may choose to post this in your topic (I just found) on the forums, if you'd like. By the way.. the head, could it not be Willow's? Ren and others seems to disagree with me, but I don't think Willow is necessarily dead. Shades can turn humans to their own uses, and we've heard of how humans become crazed/shade-like in surroundings of shades. Personally, I think that Willow might've become a shade himself, forgetting all his memories. For instance, did you note that the Shade Sentinel was called a "Dead King"? This was noted by Wodin when the topic was brought up. Also, on a side note, there is a shade in the beginning of the story which gives you a cube. From my understanding, this becomes the Wooden Room within you meet Marind. I have met a shade who offers "power" in return for the same cube.. if you take the latter to stand for the rest of the shades, does this mean that the one shade in the beginning was dissenting? Breaking with the will of the shades and Necrovion in general, which seems to be so connected? Who is this shade, then? Could he be related to Willow? [i think he might actually be Willow ] About the symbol on the wall. I don't have records of any revelation I had back then (in the beginning), and my memory fails me. But if we could have a quote, I believe it had to do with the power of a cross being able to cut matter in a spiral, like wind. Could this also cut "darkness" or shades? Say, Liquid Dust? I think something like this was suggested by Yami no Sakura, Ren and Shade Melke to the Knator Commander, but I'm not sure. Some things to consider. EDIT: yeah, Ren is complaining that he doesn't think that Willow isn't dead, so I'm putting a disclaimer. I never said he thought that, just like it seemed like it to me

Ahh So cool-sounding~ We should have a Scholar's guild/clan/alliance eventually for those of us who want to stay neutral in the game.

Leader of the Loreroot Alliance is the .Knator Commander.
