Just to point out (even if this was written in a joking way) if people do intentionally do stuff to "visit" jail, there is also a permanent ban that could be done instead - so don't try it.

May as well start it off, 10sc each

definitely change it's use, rather than remove them, they've been traded for nice sums of coin in the past, a number of people would feel cheated

Also, artist friend must realise that he would no longer own the rights to the image that is uploaded - another reason why it's better the artist themselves uploads the image.

Have you done anything at all related to avatars around the time it went missing?

Can you rename the product Earl Grey? (Yes this is kinda spam, also serious - I'm a brit, Tea is my right )

I would like to point out that aside from Mur saying it's not (And I've heard his reasoning on it, spoke at length) that it ~should~ be alt abuse...just isn't. 5sc on elemental

I think you misread Mur's post, he's saying that it's [b]not[/b] alt abuse - so long as the sale of creatures goes to the alts. Alts are allowed to transfer coins to same owner accounts.

Thank you for reiterating, but yes I was aware, I referenced Mur's post regarding it in my initial one, and Lone Wolf has also pointed it out in this thread. Thanks for the thought though.

LHO pre-requisite is nice, but possibly unnecessary for this, some of the features of the individuals should match though, such as patience and understanding et al. What dst/BFH says is true, there are unwritten rules, even banable ones, so an updated list would be nice - perhaps ones the Law Advisor's have the ability to edit and keep up to date? The use of the individuals is then for understanding of the rules, rather than necessarily finding them out at all. People tend to ask me legality things anyway, though of course in a less formal manor than what is being proposed. So [b]I hereby apply as a Law Advisor[/b], I would not charge for this for the same reason Chewie states, advice is free. If I did become one, I would not leave Golemus under any circumstance.

With the ctc-mdc, you don't need to store all the info, if you just bring up the creature id and level, and match it against that of a bird, storing the creature id in a variable. Then for stage 2, check the creature id is the same as used previously by matching against the stored variable, and check that they have the creature id and level of a hatched bird. etc etc So only need to look at crit id, level, ID and that's it.

if you don't want them having to type in the CTC-MDC (which would kinda work perfectly for this, just awkward), at least for the first part (rather un-elegantly) you could check if they've been to Wind's Crossing (where the eggs are) and if they have, take it as they have the egg?

@Vic, I don't want to argue a moot point, but if you're going to bring dictionary references into it, look up the word aptitude. "2. ...[u][b]or[/b][/u] has an aptitude for study"

don't feel limited to a single location, the festival can move around through the day, just keep people aware of where it's at

From history people have set up their own festivals, Ailith for example did a Festival of Fun (FoF) several times, with minimal input from Mur(he gave some rewards I believe). If you want a festival, and you're willing, arrange some festivities over a period of a few days - getting help (so it's not just all on you) is recommended.

The shape or make-up of a brain changes as we develop, it's a nature/nurture debate waiting to happen so-to-speak. The basic make-up shape of our head is defined by our skull shape, the brain (generally, not always) filling the shape of it's container, the skull in turn is defined initially by genetics and also by the upbringing, to use a rather harsh metaphor, if you keep a child's head in a jar whilst they grow up, the the head will become jar-shaped. Our memories are connections between neural synapses, the way our brain is connected, even brains which are the same shape, twins with the same upbringing for instance, will have a different pattern to their brains, they will send different connected signals, have different memories - more complicated than I can explain/know. You can have different levels of activity in different areas of the brain, it's been shown that people in murderers have an increased frontal lobe (whether that was increased before, or developed after the murdering is unable to be defined), so does the increased frontal lobe make you more predisposed to violence/murder? It can be stated that any increased area of the brain would make you predisposed to one thing or the other (hyper-emotionality for example, photographic or better memory as another). It's a common misconception that some people use more of their brain than others, each section of the brain is used for different things, some people's brains work faster than others - like a lot of things, more you use it the easier it becomes, but we all use the same proportion (provided you don't have any brain deformities (if someone has a better word, please tell me)).
