I didn't know you could paint! That looks awesome, nice use of an idle day, I have to say What's the oil texture like? rough or smooth?

yeah, I always liked that bug, be a shame to see it go

*provides dispute about the comment* Please please please tell me how those are the same thing... The route to MDA/Librarian is not a puzzle, it is a path, generally you click the upper arrow on every scene, and if you click the wrong direction, then you know immediately that you went the wrong way. The route through the Labyrinth IS a puzzle to determine, like the Beserkers Puzzle, or the Broken Pattern, or the Loreroot Guards, each of which you're meant to determine the solution to on your own, with a few hints perhaps, not many hints can really help with Labyrinth, I guess saying that each scene in it faces the same direction would be helpful. Going the wrong direction isn't at all easy to realise, without paying a great deal of attention to what's going on - this is the puzzle of it.

I baked cookies with a reindeer in your bathroom because Big Bird said to and he's my leader. seriously though...don't tell anyone, nobody's meant to know that he's my leader

He has almost a year to respond about it, like I said, the removal of the votes didn't affect the winners, so he has until the voting starts next year to prove his innocence. If Emerald / Burebista can prove that they are separate people, then yes, I will add that note after them, and also allow their voting, until proof is given, I have little reason to believe otherwise, no offence, but I never take one persons word as fact. dst / No one's votes counted in the awards, this is because they have previously proven to be separate people, as an example of this, both have met Mur on multiple occasions. So long as players prove themselves to just be using the same connection, and are not in fact the same person, then I have no issue with them both voting, if Emerald can prove such, then he is more than welcome to vote again.

I don't care for other people posting, or messaging on behalf of people, don't do it What does matter, is if the people listed want to protest their innocence, then they, personally, message me explaining their actions. Nothing else will have any chance of overturning the vote ban on the MD Awards.

updated list of alts; Burebistta Emerald Arcanix Evil East february kishishishi Tapphen Fenri Alexis throwndup tosshs Xiizu Hatsuichi ---- Removal of these additional peoples votes have no effect on the winners of any of the categories *dst* / No one (I know they're different people but they're shown as alts, not excluded, but wanted the full list shown) Same rules apply regarding this as I stated in my previous post

I wasn't stating in terms you could sell for, just equivalent values

Not that it isn't technically a bug, it is, but it's been that way for AGGGGGGEEEEEEEEESSSSSS

umm...you seriously mis-judge valuations Credits are NOT 1:1 with coin, credits are worth a lot more than coin. At the absolute MAXimum trade, I might say 7 creds for a GC -Oh and that's not me bidding, I don't buy things with creds

People might rather categories got stated, rather than up for discussion and public decision? Interesting Suggestions on which categories not to have repeat winners, or just global?

"solved" so closed

Chat log of the ceremony, as promised; [attachment=2458:MD Awards, Sage Keep Interior 2039-0220 (18.12.10, Day 351).doc] Now for naming and shaming. These players that we caught using alts (so far); february kishishishi Tapphen Fenri Alexis Xiizu Hatsuichi The votes from these players were not counted, and will not be counted in future MD Award voting. A week was given to message me and explain, and the opportunity was not taken. Only exceptional reasoning can overturn this now, as I don't take alts voting lightly. (More names may be added later, pending investigation). LE: Votepower list will come in a day or two

In the interest of them going into Golemite hands, I will buy them if you get no other Golemites bidding on it by 22 Dec 00:01 Server Time I have no particular need of them (i have gate access anyway), but would prefer they go to the land, which is why my offer Note, for emphasis, I will only buy them if no other Golemus bid is acceptable to you, and for the minimum value. LE: In the event of my purchasing, I would appreciate Golemites reimbursing me (though it isn't a condition), I would be giving it to another Golemite, I will not sell it.

As someone who has the unban spell, I figure I should say something here. The unban spell is used at our (those with the spell) discretion, we use it if we want to, we by no means have to use it, so take it as lucky if we do. Another thing, I will ~never~ (or at the least very rarely) unban someone unless they ask me to, that's directly asking, not via mood panel or something like that, and it has to be after the minimum sentence stated as well (that's a given). I don't know about other people with the spell, or the council/Mur, but they might work the same way, or have forgotten? (Doesn't count in this case cos of the indefinite bit, but yeah) ----------------- LE: In reference to Pip's Hate Page link to this post. (28/09/2011) Every player that wants to be unbanned by me must message me in game to be released, regardless of who they are, or what they were put in Jail for, so I'm not entirely sure how he describes it as subjective on my part. How am I meant to know someone's due to be released unless they tell me? I don't always pay attention to Mood Panel or forums (and I definitely don't keep track of everyone's sentence), so for equality I set the same way of being released for everyone. Everyone is able to message me in game, and prisoners are allowed to ask around how to do it.

All christmas collection creatures are single purchase, I found this out (to my remiss) last year when I wanted to reset my shop to get a second one and Mur semi-laughed

reindrach is a different creature. Not a mutation, it should state such in the shop description

It would also be punishable by death....I mean banning....that would be alt abuse pure and simple, which is against the rules

Bookshelves refreshed and visible again now. If they go down again people are welcome to message me and i'll stick them back up again

First, lighter note; Saturday actually works better for me, and as I kinda have to be there it sounds good to me, so long as there are no objections to the date As for time, I want to say...2200 server (Mike if you can turn up, great, otherwise, sorry) please tell me if there are big-ish issues with this time Second; We have found some alt votes submitted for the awards, these will be discounted along with accounts associated with them (and probably named). If you have used an alt, and want your vote to count in future awards voting, please send me a message stating the account names. Anyone that is found to be using an alt and has not messaged me will have no voting privileges for future MD Award voting.

It is what it is, but it would mean something different, if we are talking about language, interpretation and such, then surely that is the point? the colour would mean something different to you and a colour-blind person, because you would interpret the colour differently to each other?

[quote]And I would also, as I disagree that color is open for interpretation. Red will never be anything other than a light wave that falls within a narrow frequency band. The universe cares not what you see...it simply is what it is.[/quote] "Red" may be a light band, but that doesn't mean the red I picture if I was colour-blind would be the same red you see if you are not, that red would always be the same red for me, but it would be a different one to you. [quote]Perhaps you'd be willing to give a short explanation of how they are different? Not that I disagree - it's just something I'm unfamiliar with and would be interested to know. I have a feeling that your use of the words, "different physics" may be misleading in the context of the current debate[/quote] I do a little theatre tech work, playing with lights and such (is fun) so i might be able to say a little. Mixing colours on a palette will create a middle colour, mixing light will create more of a merge of the two colours, the light waves will sometimes coincide making the peaks and dips longer, changing the colour, or cancel, or ignore each other, light also bends around each other, but yeah i see it as a little misleading [quote]Language itself is an experience for one thing.[/quote] We are taught what words mean, if i am brought up believing that an elephant is actually called a horse, and you are talking to me about a horse, no matter how well you describe it in however much detail, i will still think it an elephant

[attachment=2314:recruit1 - 1.jpg] There is a alternative one as well, but paint keeps crashing every time i try and save it, will try again tomorrow

[quote name='Yrthilian' timestamp='1291969212' post='75019']umm something similar to this was being done. The MDA newspaper was suppose to be that sort of email to help keeps players in the loop but it took so much work that they stopped doing it.[/quote] [quote name='phantasm' timestamp='1291984286' post='75039']As yrth said the MDNP was, I thought, a very valuable part of the MD community when it was active. I know I, and I'm sure many others, enjoyed getting the newspaper. The problem was that it wasn't posted on a regular time frame, and became hard to manage and fill. Others have tried to restart it as well and failed. Perhaps you should look into using the MDNP as an advertising tool and explore that avenue. I'm sure Inno and some of the archivists would be willing to lend a hand.[/quote] Crossed wires here I believe. Yrth (i would think) refers to the emails that The Archivists were sending out, with Newslog updates and such. Phant, you refer to the Golden Globe Gazette (again i think), which never got emailed out
