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?

for gg or mutated, pleas be clear

@pipster, then clearly she hates a lot of people, like she's said (and i can confirm in a couple cases) she's done this numerous times before, this isn't a thing against Seig particularly (though I do agree that she dislikes him), just against that style of training. And no, the ggg training is not like Sparring Grounds, I would suggest you read the signpost for the rules if you think they are.

You might think 100's of awards would be great, but I have to sort stuff out for it, and giving out the awards would then take about a day, no jokes there Last year we had I think 18 awards, took 1-2 hours to give them all out (~40 page chat log), who would stay around for all 100? because I wouldn't like to. As it is, I'd like the list to shorten to 20 or less if possible Best artist can we chosen however you want, suggestions would aim at avatars (if you knew who drew them), or items, people who hire themselves for personal paper artwork, I could name people, but then that'd show bias. The public nominate the options for the vote, then the public votes based on the nominations, up to you how you judge it. Pre-eminent Role Player is the award for the Best Role player, not for the middle aged person LE: Oh and Awiiya is the third person for vote counting

That's not me, that's contact Mur put some people in charge of running MD as I see it, so messaging them might actually get it fixed, the email address they use is the one I listed except (at) replace with @ and (dot) replace with .

Kami meant for you to remove the method of doing it, if you look at your post, you'll see I've now done it for you, "exploitable" bugs should not be written with methods in any public place You can however use emails, try emailing; contact (at) magicduel (dot) com , they might be able to do something about it

Done; - Changed some names of awards with [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8403-md-awards-2010-suggestions/page__view__findpost__p__72291"]suggestions by Awii[/url], and also Veteran > Fossil - Marvolo is now listed as the artist who's drawing the trophies/medals - Added - Best Artist, Funniest Character awards Things raised but not settled on; - [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8403-md-awards-2010-suggestions/page__view__findpost__p__72224"]Award of best rp couple[/url] - yes/no? - [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8403-md-awards-2010-suggestions/page__view__findpost__p__72254"]Requirements[/url] for [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8403-md-awards-2010-suggestions/page__view__findpost__p__72279"]Rookie[/url] [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8403-md-awards-2010-suggestions/page__view__findpost__p__72310"]award[/url] (3 links there) - Award (name) for [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8403-md-awards-2010-suggestions/page__view__findpost__p__72279"]middle[/url] [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8403-md-awards-2010-suggestions/page__view__findpost__p__72353"]aged[/url] people? (2 links here) - Did I miss anything? And any awards people think shouldn't be on the list? We currently have 22 awards

There's already the Veteran award for old players, and there are a ~LOT~ of countries if you wanted to split that up, if you look at the first post, you'll see the ones on the list atm

Friendship is too individual, we'd want everyone in MD to vote,how would they know how good the friendship between me and cato is? Mine is just one opinion, if you convince others it can still go in Heating, i think we went through already, if you mean heat sent to protectors, then it's just a number of whoever sent the most, too clear cut everyone will vote for their own, naturally please post multiple suggestions in a single post, otherwise it's being spammy, thanks [color=purple]posts merged - Grido[/color]

yet? no...been like it for around 2 years, and will be like that until chapter 3 is released / Story Gets massively overhauled

Replacing with award is the same issue, I have no problem with the word Best, just that it comes up in most of the award titles

@RJ, there's a Wish in the Wish Shop

[quote]If we have both best <100AD and best >whatever AD it takes to get on the vet list, shouldn't there be something for those in between? It seems to me that whenever there's a rookie I like, they get to be 101 AD by nomination time.[/quote] Rookie could get extended to <365 (I think someone else commented this), you do ofc then have the issue of are they still rookies? If you want one for some intermediary period, then suggest a name for it? I believe it's like this way currently because rookies get rewarded for progressing well at a young age, and veterans for sticking around and still playing for so long, the middle don't come under either of those too...fittingly (imo), so some other..err...description or such would have to be thought On suggestions to remove; Least Convincing Alts Most Annoying --both were removed last year btw, but were in first year Any renames people can think of? I'd rather have fewer "Best.." and call them something else (As always my ideas have to be agreed if they are to be acted upon, I do not place my opinions on awards above others) LE: @nad, Best Item? err...lots of items i could say that about, so I'd be against that, and Item holder is a little clear cut, would that be whoever has the most items? Best collection? people would vote for friends, idk, don't see it working MP6 already have in the Prot award MP3 basically already have in the rookie award 4 & 5 might be a reasonable intermediary like Kaf was saying, but how would you judge it?

@Fyrd, Big Gift Spender, Cash Supporter = not objective, so not something really voteable, just a matter of looking at the supporter status thing, Gift Spender might be able to do, but I don't think so for same reasons Most Jail Time, regardless if it's a booby prize, nobody should get a reward from being in Jail a lot @RJ, Fossil of the Year would be same as Veteran one, name changes are fine though btw @Kami, Last year they were told and some of those that didn't win complained about why they were waiting around if there wasn't a chance of winning, when the nominations are settled I will try to ensure that either they can make it, or that a proxy can be arranged to attend on their behalf. @Curi, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoi_polloi"]Hoi Polloi[/url] @Kyphis, Best Protector is already there, and Worshipper would be a matter of looking up how much heat a player has donated? Too clear cut. --As usual, these are only my opinions, and only if people agree with them do they count for this. I will give it a day or two before updating the initial list, to give time to talk about which are good awards and such, remember, I kinda expect you to remove a few from that list as well, so find the ones you don't think should be an award and point them out please. Just because I've randomly decided, someone has to show support of your suggestion for it to get added, like "I like the idea of the LHO of the year award, blah blah", equally, removal of awards has to be agreed by others.

bad bunny! [quote]This thread will be used to suggest the different categories for awards, scheduling stuff as well at the bottom. So yeah, this is for award suggestions, [b]not nominations[/b], and certainly [b]not voting yet.[/b][/quote] @Curi, convince the hoi polloi, they have the final say

Right, as much as I hate to think of it nearing the end of the year (I refuse to acknowledge Christmas until as close to the start of Dec I can get away with), the timing is close enough for the MD-Awards for this year. This thread will be used to suggest the different categories for awards, scheduling stuff as well at the bottom. So yeah, this is for award suggestions, not nominations, and certainly not voting yet. The below list is the combination of both 2008 and 2009's final categories, striked out are ones which are decided (by you) not to include into the list (I already removed a few, obvious and noted reasons). New categories are also encouraged, and will get added to the list if there's no/negligible objections to it. This is the purpose of the thread, to come up with a final list of categories, remove and add as you decide, I'll just edit the list every so often. Notes in brackets are up for debate, but are like it for a reason. Adventuring Award (Quester) Best Artist Best Back Story / Paragon Papers (combined) [s]Best Dojo Staff[/s] (Doesn't exist) [s]Best PL Entry[/s] (See Best Quote) [s]Best PWR[/s] (See Best Role Player) Best Quote [s](See Best PL)[/s] [s]Best RPC[/s] (Doesn't exist) Best Spell Caster Champion Fighter Elite Evil Villain of the Year Fossil of the year (On vet list, Chewett can't nominated, as he won last year) [s]Funniest Character[/s] The Golden Protector [s]LHO[/s] Helper of the Year (Grido can't be nominated, erg...didn't what to expand that one [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif[/img]) [s]Least Convincing Alts[/s] Most Addicted [s]Most Annoying[/s] Most Influential Outstanding Service to MD [s]Paragon Papers[/s] Pre-eminent Role Player Prime Quest Rookie of the year (20 - [s]100[/s] 365 AD) Superlative Orator (Debating) Top Techie [b][u]Schedule[/u][/b] Suggestions (This thread) will be open for a week, till 23rd Nov, at which point; Nominations will open on 24th, will also last a week, ending 1st Dec, then; Voting, starting 2nd Dec, for 2 weeks ending 16th Dec, or until 100 votes (whichever is sooner); Awards Ceremony will then take place on 19th Dec. [b][u]About Schedule[/u][/b] - Suggestions details at top of page. - 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 [s]one other person (Basically first person to message me, offering to help)[/s] 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. [s][color=#ff0000][b]I need an artist to draw trophies for this[/b][/color], please approach me if you're interested, I may be able to send some coin your way for doing the trophies. After suggestions are final, I would then send you the list of trophies I would be commissioning [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img].[/s] Marvolo has offered his services to draw the artwork.
