  1. I figure if it was turned into a cauldron-type item then it would need a recipe in the same format as the cake, yeah.
  2. 4*15sc = 60sc 6*10sc = 60sc 10*6sc = 60sc 15*4sc = 60sc It's about finding the balance. If you charge 'too much' not many will compete. If you charge 'too little'/nothing you won't get as much. You can charge less and still make the same, because it's then open to players who can't afford a higher price.
  3. I wasn't commenting about Eon also competing, that's a whole other thing - each side of that argument seem to be arguing completely different things, but meh. I mean, is there no way to increase motivation? Someone said if it was cheaper they'd participate - is having gold/silver available a requirement of being a good/strategic fighter? What he did (and what you describe he did) was make and maintain the rules, and I think he did a fairly good job. Could've been clearer in the rules (based on the replies to the start thread), but the rules were there and he kept to them, as well as making sure everyone else did as well. But I didn't see him do anything to motivate or encourage participation or activity (not that I was in it) - granted I have no idea what tools he might have to do that, but I figure there might be something, or someway to do such with what he has? People seem to have covered the email/first post itself though, so I don't think I will further
  4. [quote name='Juni0r' timestamp='1339767932' post='114905'] Its due to the lack of players that the most recent BHC sucked but again how is he suppose to keep the other players motivated to win? thats not his job, his job is to provide a well rounded platform for people to attempt and prove themselves, which he is doing. [/quote] I don't know about other people's opinions here, but I thought the role of an organiser was all aspects of it? Including making the event enjoyable for the participants? Keeping them motivated etc?
  5. And in addition to how they were gotten; What have you done since? Anything to do with saccing, any looking/copying ctc's (and accidentally sending to people) Does anyone else have access to your account?
  6. Sagewoman is dead? Since when?
  7. Any particular reason this is in LS > Community Events?
  8. I think at this point it's clear I do But I mean as a general individual, rather than as myself.
  9. Also iterate alongside Lightsage, what if I wanted one alive, but not the other?
  10. Cool downs on revival items are different to the kill items. And to each other, actually. Intentionally not specifying what they are.
  11. Heat cannot (/should not) be indefinitely retained which is what would happen with a spell in the way you describe - it would be retained in the form of the spell, but retained it cannot be. Heat would need to be stored, with the heat reducing and the spell cast upon a player's entrance to a scene - or at least that would work with my current understanding of it.
  12. Heat is needed to cast spells, where is the heat? There were thoughts to have spells in clickables, which would be activated upon opening or whatever which never resolved yet, but that wouldn't really result in what you're looking for. Fun idea though.

    A funeral

    There are no exceptions regarding transferring 'things' (crits, items, whatever) to accounts also played by yourself.

    A will (in the way you say) would be alt abuse, presuming jr would also be him - don't think Spar would try this, but just clarifying for Tom.
  15. When you start the game, you should not (and indeed this is the case currently) be affiliated to any land. You are of No Homeland. Being affiliated with any land, including No Man's Land, would have to be, and definitely should be, a decision of the player, rather than automatically when you start. But yeah, that "typo"/bug should be fixed.
  16. Lightsage, not Lib, posted the separators And just to be clear, he was giving options, not for you to use the entire thing he posted, each line being a different option. Up to you whether you want to use them, but similar things are used in other books - a short line of pretty much any non-alphanumerical would work I think, or actually an enlarged gap between the paragraphs might also, if you normally use a single line gap between them, maybe space 5 down before continuing? With the use of Mur, it is a complete other thing for everyone to know the name Mur etc, and quite another to write a book involving the name. As I previously mentioned, there is power in names, and they shouldn't be adopted into use in stories without the permission of their owners - I'm not saying you would (at least, not intentionally), but authors have previously misused peoples names and created a negative, and often plain wrong, image of the person. The simplest thing would be to first ask him whether he minds it as it is, if he doesn't then no harm done and continue as you are, but if he does then you would need to replace of remove somehow - have the patrons drinking something else, and praising 'the order' or some such. I don't know that it needs to actually be a character. What Finch said about asking each of the characters involved to write a description of themselves, at the same time as asking permission to use them, might be helpful with your descriptions as well, you'd be working closer with 'reality' (of MD) than acting upon your own imagination of them, which from a couple comments here seem to be fairly on the mark, but it may be better to get that description from them all the same.
  17. [quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1338930304' post='113523'] The hints should be updated - particularly the bits about RPC's... [/quote] Note: I have access to edit these, but don't believe I have permission to completely change them - Just for info. [quote name='Seigheart' timestamp='1338942742' post='113539'] I'd like to see more achievements. Maybe for hitting certain level of stats, for visiting certain amount of scenes, for visiting a scene a certain amount of times, ext. And make them ALL accessible with hard work and determination. Some, like the Spell Doc one, isn't even possible anymore. LHO, is not available to 95% of MD. [/quote] Achievements are not meant to be easy to achieve, if they were, they may as well just be handed out to people. Sometimes takes a bit of time to become LHO, but it's achievable if you make the effort, like others have said. More achievements, yes, but they shouldn't be easy like you seem to want
  18. @Manda, for clarity, don't edit your posts with bids, just post new replies, reduces confusion.
  19. Doesn't have the same feel to it though
  20. RE: Newspaper, it still "exists" so to speak, just not maintained as Chew said, if there is enough of a creative spark from people to write things regularly (idk, monthly or quarterly) then it could be revived without much difficulty, the issue was ever having people produce regularly. If there is interest from anyone to either manage the project to inject life into it, or to write regularly for it, feel free to message me. As per the story; I would ask (for lack of a comment from him, and I'm not trying to voice his opinion, I'd never do that) you to remove/replace the use of "Mur" until he might say otherwise, you should not base being able to use it purely from speculation about it. If he asked not to be included, that should be respected until he might say something allowable - I have every intention to raise this point until either the term "Mur" is removed, or he has responded about the use of it. Equally, I'd hope that nobody else objected to their names being used. Agreed with Finch about her comments, especially about inputting a separator between the POV of bandit, and then from Windy. As well as that, there should, in my opinion, be a lot more description. As far as I've read there is very minimal scene description - detail what the pub actually looks like, the interior, some background to it maybe, also the place that sage and lint get 'attacked'. For myself I don't like fully first-person stories overly, much prefer when it's from the perspective of certain characters, but slightly more omniscient. The description should also extend to the characters themselves, like in the first chapter there could be something like; "...the sisters, dressed in robes of white and an azure belt, surrounded the table..." even something like that would give an added element to the story I believe (I have no idea if you lot have an outfit or such, just an example). The expansion of the text would fill out the chapters more as well, there seems to be comments about them all being short, though there isn't actually a pre-requisite for length. Saying that, if you choose to edit in this way, think through where you add the detail in, you don't want to overwhelm the reader with too much detail at the start, but you also don't want to leave them thinking as to what everything is like at a later point. The other thing to bare in mind with description is to give the reader a little imagination, you shouldn't detail everything, but let them fill in the gaps of some parts - this will immerse the reader into the story more and make them feel more involved in it. Whilst you don't have to conform to it, that I understand the standard format for talking is that you start a new line/paragraph when a new person speaks, there's parts where it's all in the same chunk (looking at the first chapter atm, just before the Kets induction), this is done for clarity I believe, so that the reader can differentiate between speakers. Possibly also a little about how the people are speaking; "...she confidently said...", "...she said quietly/hesitantly..." - but not after everything. You have done this a bit in later chapters, but it's good to keep in mind, all the same. Up to you if you want to take any of that on board.
  21. I thought they were meant to be coloured by hand as well? The page for item image uploads says hand drawn only, however it also says the images should be b/w there, which doesn't sound right

    HC Contest

    confused as to the message thinking that you're in it (kinda) though - I would of figured it'd check whether you were in it, before checking who you're sending to, but yeah, heads transfer is bhc only
  23. Clearly he did get there that fast, so it's not impossible, whether he got there through regular means is the question. Are you certain your spell worked? Gotta ask, just in case. I take it that's a no on using locate on him?
  24. It was me asking. Wikia should have ~no~ original information. All content on wikia should already be somewhere else, wikia just makes said information clearer.
