well i'm not competing, doesn't suit me, for the record though my facial hair grows pretty fast. Shar did say it was the end of the month, was just commenting on it lol

not to interrupt or anything, but, there's 2 days left of the month...

Welcome to MagicDuel, if you ever have any questions, or generally want to talk, feel free to message me or find me in game, I'm usually at Paper Cabin

[quote name='Yala Sviseusen' timestamp='1290902365' post='73498'] I think Shar has a thread about this same thing hiding somewhere.... Can't find it though.. I WANT CHRISTMAS CARDS!!! PM me with your details and I'll send mine. YAY!! [/quote] You can't find it because it was being made invisible till the 1st Dec, which i would on this 'cept I'm lazy and it's 2 days away

Kaf that was my original want as well, I just didn't expect so many different names for individual categories

1. To feel like a child again [b]Why Not:[/b] With the world as it is, it's not practical for an adult to behave as a child [b]Why Yes:[/b] Why should I care about the practicality? [b]Why? :[/b] For reasons I'd rather not go into here, I missed out on a childhood that most experience, I want in some way to get that back 2. Visit every country/continent [b]Why Not:[/b] Money mostly, but also time, next 3 years is uni, I'd want to work for a while after that, by which point I'd likely have responsibilities that I couldn't just abandon for a year or two as I travelled. [b]Why Yes:[/b] I can save money, and leave when I have enough (after uni), either limit my responsibilities or take them with me if I'm able. [b]Why? :[/b] I want to see, to know everything that's out there to know. A compulsion would probably be the best way to describe it. 3. I might get back to....

frell....i kindly request people to undo the editing i did to their posts....ie edit your posts back re-adding all the nominations. the top...err...4/5 people who get nominated the most will be put forward to the vote please state objections to this, apologies for the *cough* up

That pretty much applies to Christmas as well Dari

If you found my comment rude, then you might understand that I found yours equally, if not more so. Hence my reply to it. Now, as for the state of LHOs, you seem to be under the impression that they don't choose to be LHO, because if you were under a different impression, that of them choosing, you might realise that the phrasing of them doing "what they're supposed to do" would be...off. A player has a choice, that of helping players or playing their merry way (I have no objection to either path, before someone assumes I critique). The player that chooses to help players, then has a secondary choice, to become an LHO, or to not.The players who you refer to nominate/vote for, would fall into the second category (again, no critiquing). The main emphasis, as is likely aware to you, is the matter of choice. Yes, an LHO gets a few things, as you mention, but I should imagine that if they were doing it for gain, they would want a lot more than they get. The "extremely generous reward" would be the spell to summon me? This is a query, I can't think of anything else that was given at the same time as the medal. Surely ~because~ they signed up for it, it would show that they would be under the title of "Helper of the year"? In that they want to help a lot, and that they'd actually be strong candidates? That isn't to exclude others from being nominated, whilst my response to the suggestion was humerus on my part, it's a sensible idea. For clarity, I didn't ask for a debate (though I do enjoy them, don't get me wrong), I replied to your comment on the thread, and others decided to perpetuate it.

either / or, please email to grido @ ymail . com though

@Sparr, personally i don't like the insinuation that LHOs are such for personal benefit, and to assume that a non-LHO player does it for no benefit, is, to say the least, silly (nothing against you Tarq), players do like gaining adepts you know? But then that is my opinion, and you have yours. EDIT: removed the MD Awards list, cos no reason for it to be in this bit. Also, for clarity, as Amoran asked about it, the reference to Tarq is purely that Sparr nominated him, i stated "nothing against" him as i didn't want to imply that Tarq was doing it for the reasons (or other) listed.

ok...lot of posts in a day, and in a moment i'm going to be an evil moderator according to the following info. If a player has already been nominated in a category, there is no need to nominate again. Please only list the categories in your post which you're actually nominating in. If I have replied to the thread after your nominations, please reply again with changes or additions, otherwise please edit your posts, i will add nominations to the initial post every time i post, and i won't be back checking much. As for nominating Mur, i'd have to be against, he has a hugely unfair advantage over other players, being the game creator an all. Please amend this if you want to nominate others. The initial post will be updated with current nominations as soon as i've finished being an evil mod.

This thread will be used to state nominations for each of the different awards that were chosen in the [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8403-md-awards-2010-suggestions/"]suggestions thread[/url]. You are only allowed to nominate one person per category. You are not allowed to nominate yourself (or an alt). Doing so may result in exclusion from voting and being voted for. If a player has already been nominated in a category, there is no need to nominate again. Please only list the categories in your post which you're actually nominating in. Notes in brackets are up for debate, but are like it for a reason.

[b][u]About Schedule[/u][/b] - Nominations must be made by other people, you cannot nominate yourself, doing so can lead to being excluded from all voting and being voted for. This includes from alts. - The in game voting system will be used, I spoke to contact about that and seems to be alright since Mur suggested it last year. Alt votes will be removed from said list and owner voting rights and winning rights removed. There was an issue with the number of people voting last year (24 I believe) so hopefully in game system will lead to more votes, a low AD requirement will hopefully be added to be able to vote (To prevent people not knowing wth is going on, voting), but with the rookie award not sure on what that requirement should be (Suggestions?). You will not ~have~ to vote in all categories, but it is preferred. Myself, dst, and Awiiya, will independently count up the votes, and match up numbers, to ensure that none of us are miscounting. - Awards Ceremony will hopefully take place in Sage Keep again, need to sort that out still, but hopefully there shouldn't be any problem with it, doors open an all, wherever it ends up being, should be at 2000 server time Sunday 19th Dec, this was the time last year, if there are any objections, please state them. Last year winners were told before the ceremony that they had won, and to prepare a speech, this year, they will NOT be told before the ceremony, a few people complained about it, all players nominated will be expected to have some semblance of a speech prepared in case they win. I will take a chat log (will post it in the vote thread), and also post winning speeches on md-archives.

yes they are, and i'll link new topic for nominations from here in a sec There were no further objections i noted against superlative orator (debater), so that stays. Influential will also stay, more people were in favour that against. Nomination thread will be up in a moment, thread closed. http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8457-md-awards-2010-nominations/

There's roughly 20 hours (midnight) till a final decision on this is needed please, if you don't decide it, i'm going to have to, and i want as much public involvement as possible

@dragon, too objective, too factual, too objective @Awii/LS, all previous suggestions by LS are made, baring the ones Awii mentioned, which are still up for debate

Original interpretation of Techie is as Awii said, and I tried to steer it similarly last year @Princ, if we're trying to make the list more concise, then that's the wrong way to do it both dst and Rex agreed with LS, so unless anyone has any complaints to that (and I'd suggest sharpish to raise them) I'll make those changes tomorrow (21st) Agree/disagree; Increase ad for rookie to 365 (register this year as well), remove "middle aged/tweenie" award? or do we still want that?

i think you got those numbers muddled somehow, because Yrth is still King, and those numbers would suggest otherwise, also i believe Firs was referring to when he was voted into power the joke being that Yrth got to use 500 votes towards someone, and everyone else shared 1 vote, so whoever Yrth voted for got into power

=)) ahh, thanks for that, it gave me a good laugh I did comment to Yrth that someone would bring up the Golemus king maker thing, and lo and behold...so it was I've really got to appreciate how in one post you've managed to turn Golemus into the bad guys for being annoyed that people were using out land illegally, gotta hand it to you, that's some skill you have. The difference with the fight club is that it's never been secret, or hidden, and certainly not in a location that is restricted access. It is in MDP i believe, and i'm pretty sure Life knows all about it, besides which, it's Burns that runs it, and he's not the king. Whereas Lifeline had a large hand in the group fighting on Golemus, as he used his chase and summon spells to get them in, he made a direct action. Conclusions in public would be so that people actually know what's going on, rather than keeping everything hush hush and suddenly something big happens affecting them all, open-ness is a nice thing, we like it LE: @Chewie, i realised, that's why i stopped responding

As a note, whoever does offer to do this would ~probably~ need to get permission to, rather than just do it randomly, it is owned property as far as i'm aware, though i'm not sure on the legality of stuff like that

aaront learn to read, specifically the first post @Seph, it's just over 700 AD to get on Vets list currently, and someone needs to agree to it or come up with an agreed alternative on the basis for it

No. You miss my point. dst treats the Sparring Grounds THE SAME WAY SHE TREATS THE OTHER TRAINING GROUNDS, there's no real difference.

Better than you; [attachment=2187:666 VE.jpg] And rand [attachment=2188:7NUDE.png] I probably have others somewhere, but meh

The sparring grounds doesn't have rules that she's able to break, never mind whether she'd want to or not. Anyone who dst can attack in the sparring grounds, she's allowed to attack by the rules. All she's doing at the other training sites is attacking the people she's able, and posting the location they're at if they're persistent. SG is at a location everyone knows, so no point stating it, and she does attack everyone she's able there. So I don't think you have a point about that....

I presume that means that you agree with the idea of that award as well? Guidelines on it need to be set, is it just anyone over 100 days, and not on the vet list, or something else?
