YES (see quests) [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='09 August 2009 - 07:15 PM' timestamp='1249841733' post='39065'] Well, it is not like we can just write a line of code and the problem is fixed. There will always need to be someone watching over the player base to make sure noone is cheating. That is one of the roles as a game manager I am afraid. Maybe we need another one? [/quote] ... noone is cheating ... that is a bit harsh ... there are lots and lots of ways to cheat. First of all define ALL kind of cheats and check them against current rules. Second ... do a damn alt and get it to MP5 and see how it feels, then talk (darn noob) Somebody should pause this topic until Fenrir gets an alt to MP5.

[quote name='Kafuuka' date='07 August 2009 - 02:37 PM' timestamp='1249652269' post='38913'] Seems fair to me, but what will stop them from using an alt to solve the quest?Denying quests for personal reasons doesn't seem constructive to me. Instead of allowing a person with a different opinion to see something you made and perhaps get a more positive opinion of you, you invite those people into disagreeing even more. It is entirely human to respond in kind; denying quests to those who deny you. At the end of such an escalation, both parties will be exhausted and look like fools in the eyes of neutral observers. In this kind of battle you cannot win, you can only cut your losses. [/quote] Thank you Kafuuka, you seem to have got the point of it. [quote name='Muratus del Mur' date='08 August 2009 - 01:26 AM' timestamp='1249691214' post='38942'] Lets imagine the situation reversed. No one/dst ... [/quote] Mur, you should know better, No one and dst are 2 different persons / characters (something like mur and akasha). Please try to make the difference because we try to keep one.

[/quote] hmm, i will have to say "NO" make it a bit clear for me: should I mix personal feelings with my job. For that ... I MUST say NO, i do not mix them. As for creating a quest just to exclude certain players by personal reasons ... I would better not assume such a responsibility. As for giving as reward something that is not mine ... like WP ... why would I mind ? I would give 3 to each player if I could. You do know why you put restrictions for giving WP , don't you ? Because they are free to give. I hope I made myself clear (sometimes I tend to babble)

[quote name='Akasha' date='07 August 2009 - 11:09 AM' timestamp='1249639762' post='38901'] So i get it or i let you do my quests or you will revenge?? what is this? we, RPC are not obligated to accept everyone in the quest. You don't like it you must survive with it. Yes, from now on you can consider yourself excluded from my rewards/quests. Have fun spoiling whatever you like, this is the lower you can get as a player and begg for rewards by thretening us. [/quote] hmm, that points out the fact that you don't know me I never begged for something, not even for rewards. Yes mur gave me some things ( maybe that is why are upset on me) , but I deserved every single credit from it and you know it. As for quests ... I'm not really a quest-er so I will not mind, I just don't want this to escalate (today me, tomorrow all Lore and MD alliances, etc). Anyway, take it as you want, but it is not a threat, it is a warning of what WILL happen and you darn know it. Laugh as hard as you want, consider me crazy if you want, I cannot foresee the future but I know that if you break a law once ... it will be taken as example. just think of it [color="#FFFFFF"]I don't want the worse for MD, heck I miss every hour I cannot login, even if I get bored playing it[/color] just have fun while thinking it over (i don't need a reply) EDIT: Darn i'm good, I answeed mur and Firsanthalas before i read their posts. Some more comments: Mur, do you really think that that is what I do / want ? Even if it seems that I lose, I don't consider that I have something to lose by warning you about it Anyway, if you don't want to listen ... it will be your problem. I rest my case in this matter. I don't really care, so do whatever you "think" it is better.

is the continuation of : http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/4816-complaint/page__pid__38890__st__0&#entry38890 [QUOTE]We all have enemies and try to bring down the enemies but this must be done by letting the ones that have a chance to try it out. [/QUOTE] No Akasha, I disagree with you (all) on the point. It seems that I have enemies (players that hate me ) and want to "bring me down", and I cannot help it. And no, I don't have enemies (players that I hate) just players that I don't like (more or less) but this doesn't mean that I will not help them. For example : hmm, Dmik King (sorry dude, but I do ), yes, at one time I really hated the guy, but this week asked my help ... and I did Another example (not so recent) : Shoeps, he used (yes, not asked, but I also didn't refused) my help 1. My point is : RPC is just Role Play, but when they go the the selected list, they should stop acting any hate (and they are supposed to be good at acting), they are the "elite" of Role Play, they should give an example 2. And from this, my second point : don't start this ... selecting of players, don't make precedents as you will end up with things that you don't expect (not to mention that you don't wont). 3. Third point: if you allow them to refuse the pleasure of some (pin pointed) to make their quest, on what base do you sustain that those should refrain themselves from stopping / destroying those quest ? (see point no 2 with the outcome that you don't wont) 4. Most of the players either hate me or simply don't know about me, just a few give the time to try to know me (not like me) and to stop hating me and even less like me. But don't worry, I hate nobody (that much ) And because you remembered it : yes, I finished the quest ... in my own way. And to show you that i'm not the one you think I am ... I am still considering not to do anything with the answers . BUT, as you know, patience and calm (even mine) have limits. Don't try to spoil the little fun I get from this game. You do know that I can spoil yours. Oh, not to forget : any RPC quest SHOULD not be forbidden to "some players". If they choose to make for just specific MP, honor, max/min exp ... that is ok but no other limits. (that is all for now as it tends to get too long and I too hate long posts)

[quote name='King Lazarus' date='06 August 2009 - 09:54 AM' timestamp='1249548842' post='38844'] I have observed some of the member's profile are hidden, I was testing to put my papers in but when I checked my profile, I can't see it anymore. I've done everything but I can't still see it. How can I resolve this? Here [url="http://magicduel.com/players/lazarus"]My link[/url] [/quote] you saved your profile but you add nothing in it Solution: open it again and go to HTML (as described somewhere) and remove the "<BR />" thing. Remove whatever is there then save it. It should be fixed

So, my complaint is that it seems that certain RPCs start abusing their ... status and give rewards only to specific players. How should I put it in other words : they are giving FREE WP for certain players. Why do I say this? Because I tried to do a quest (after a few months from last one) and i had the surprise to not be able to do it : [color="#FF0000"][size="5"][b]Dimensional Shifters Quest, Part 1 You are not alowed to do this Quest. [/b] [/size][/color] Yes, I am upset on this. Let me tell those that don't know how MD scripting is done. You cannot check by IP and to tell that a player is allowed or not, you have to manually exclude each and every one that you want to exclude or to manually add those that are allowed. Anyway, because this quest tries to exclude, I will do the quest and I will expect the reward and the explanation on why I received that message. [b]So, why do you picked me out of the quest ?[/b]

[quote name='apophys' date='30 July 2009 - 01:05 PM' timestamp='1248955541' post='38280'] I find it important to note that you are in an alliance, No One, and therefore your battles will be far shorter than normal. This favors certain strategies... [/quote] good observation, but I will not do the battles while in alliance. As for the rituals ... they should be as generic as possible. Anyway. The period for subscription is supposed to have been closed. Only 5 contestants. Too bad. I'd really like to know why only these few. If you knew about this contest ... please post here why you didn't subscribed.

Notes : 1. you are not allowed with more then 3 creatures of the same type in the same (submitted) ritual 2. submitted rituals can not / will not be altered when the part 2 (attacks) starts 3. rituals for defending / attacking yourself do not fall under the rule of number limit

nice, first use = first abuse. The dojo is meant for MP2 - MP4. Any MP5 located there is just teaching or hiding. Both cases are attack-able. MP5 has no excuse for staying in a dojo without being attacked. If you want to go idle ... there are already too many places for that activity. But hey. if you didn't understood that already ... maybe you should not be in dojo staff anyway. Since it is not my decision to include you in such a staff ... I'll enjoy farming on any MP5 there. If you don't want to get attacked ... then do as Tzaroth747 or as Zleiphneir. in the mean time ... good abusing Edit: hmm, wtf is *Ibruzu* ? hmm, i guess i'm not going that way that often or i'm not paying attention anyway, 1. just tell the guy that *Princ Rhaegar* is part of "Dojo Staff / LHO" (in *Ibruzu*'s own documents) 2. "Dojo Staff Trainee/Helper" ... "trainee" is the antonym of "trainer" (in *Ibruzu*'s own documents) And ... SageWoman ... you are one of the worst kind of abusers in this game : "power abuser". I will not welcome you in the clan.

[/quote] also some time periods can be added here [quote name='Muratus del Mur' date='26 July 2009 - 02:25 AM' timestamp='1248571542' post='37924'] Maybe a filter on mp level, age, xp, whatever, to display the quest announcement only to players fitting the requirements. Problem with filters is that i want new players to see available quests within their first 3 days, not after month (beginner quests, later to be related to factions) [/quote] just list all quests available , with the posibility to list all "old" quests too [quote name='Muratus del Mur' date='26 July 2009 - 02:25 AM' timestamp='1248571542' post='37924'] The permission to announce quests could be granted also via a wishshop feature so that pwr can use it too. [/quote] to pay to create quests ... hmm, i guess that I will not do that (but it is only me) Maybe you can make it so that at RPC players could grant the "Accept" for a certain player to create quests. And if there are at least 2-3 "votes" for a certain player then he can create 1 quest. After the quest has ended (time based) the player should be required to ask some RPC to grant him another quest. Also, making good quests (at least 2) should grant one player the ability to do endless quests.

let me put it like this Glo: [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons//blum.gif[/img] Actually, not all tests have a pretty result for the subject As for getting ... spanked ... ... i guess it is not the first time [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons//blum.gif[/img]

so, the challenge is open. You can now send the PM with your rituals. Remember, I await maximum 3 rituals for attack and 3 for defense for each contestant. When you will attack me you will be told the defending ritual . I will try to make a few lists (and give rewards according to them) like: - best attacking ritual (from those submitted) - best defending ritual (from those submitted) - these rituals you will know before you will attack - List of exploits (or ... maybe not) - any exploit figured by me (or another) in a fight will invalidate the fight. - best defender (player that receives least damage: while attacking, defending or ... both) - best attacker (player that deals most damage: while attacking, defending or both) The fights should start on the 1st August and will end as soon as possible. May the best one succeed Edit: As I might have a difficult time to log these days, you can post your MD name & id and I will send you the first PM.

I hate tokens too. Another side-effect which was not mentioned (and for some is good) is that a quick kill (in round 0) will not produce a victory, and thus one strong player can remain balanced for very long time giving tons of loses. Anyway, lets hope that the small players will be stronger then us to endure so many loses. ( i know I don't like it)

let me put it like this. there are faster ways, but this topic is enough of a spoiler. I will spoil you with one this: 100 , even 200 loyalty, per hour is being lazy. Have fun and don't spoil the game for others. You are not the first to ask me by PM, so I will add the reply here [quote name='Blackwoodforest' timestamp='1247726263' date='16 July 2009 - 07:37 AM']Hi there,can you please tell me how to increase that high amount of loyalty so quick?Thank you[/quote] I could but I will not.Why do you need more then 200 loyalty points/hour? Just use those damn spoilers and get those 200.You will find in time other ways. Trust me it is easy to be told how but it will lose the fun.And you already had a big spoiler there.In this game there are a very few areas that can be used by grinders. And if you get the heaviest of spoilers ... you will quit the game soon or you will quit just a bit later. Or ... worst ... you can even spoil the game by letting them in the chat like already happened so many times.Just use whatever you know and ... in time you will make the connections to know it can be done a lot more. Hmm, this looks like a spoiler too Remember, all things in this game can always be improved somehow. Enough talk have fun

[quote name='Guybrush Threepwood' date='15 July 2009 - 03:27 AM' timestamp='1247624859' post='37095'] But why not allow them to use lower level critters? If there is some sort of advantage to a lower level regular crit they aught be able to use them. Strategery and all. [/quote] I didn't said that I will not allow low level creatures (of the allowed type), I just said that you can use a volunteer if you don't have the maxed creatures you would like to use. I also said that I (me, as "no one") don't have low level creatures and I will/might need volunteers or time to grow the creatures to the required levels .

[quote name='Guybrush Threepwood' date='13 July 2009 - 11:21 PM' timestamp='1247523719' post='36948'] Oh c'mon dst, it's pretty simple. Though perhaps you've thought of it and aren't thinking of it as an exploit. [/quote] Thank you Guybrush for pointing out that exploits are not allowed in this contest. [quote name='Burns' date='14 July 2009 - 06:01 AM' timestamp='1247547710' post='36968'] no one's rules are quite clear, and as long as you play according to the rules, you are not exploiting anything... just one thing you forgot: include that all rituals have to be set just before the fight [/quote] True, there are (almost) always ways to avoid rules, I don't want a contest for who knows how to avoid the rules. That is why if I see something that I don't like ... like ... yea combo, I will request a new fight with no combo. Just try to make a fair fight and you will have my recognition (I guess that it should count). Any kind of exploits that I can figure / I am told before / during / after contest ... will be posted somehow. I know, many will be like spoilers, but ... I will see. Also, any level of creatures can be used, the main problem is that I have mostly maxed creatures. But if you prefer lower levels ... why not. Who knows, maybe I'll learn something new about low level creatures. [quote name='Guybrush Threepwood' date='13 July 2009 - 09:59 PM' timestamp='1247518743' post='36945'] I think Granos may have meant critters like the elemental, which has different targets at different stages. One may not have a water lady, but may have a younger elemental. Also, would you like us to point out possible exploits, or are we supposed to use those. [/quote] If one is missing creatures, as I already said, he may request some volunteers to do the fights for him.

[quote name='Guybrush Threepwood' date='12 July 2009 - 10:09 PM' timestamp='1247432944' post='36872'] I personally don't have enough critters to make a six critter ritual. [/quote] Then ... you will might require the help of a "replacement player" [quote name='Guybrush Threepwood' date='12 July 2009 - 10:09 PM' timestamp='1247432944' post='36872'] I'm a little confused, the person fighting you decides the rituals you can choose from? [/quote] I want this contest to reveal the level of knowledge in "creating rituals". That is why I want this contest to have at least 2 levels: one ... setting a ritual (those that are submitted) and ... two ... defending (unknown ritual) / attacking (against a known ritual). [quote name='Granos' date='13 July 2009 - 04:32 AM' timestamp='1247455964' post='36909'] Also is there an exception for certain lower level creatures with unique abilities? Because it would be a shame for people not to get to use their creatures to their full potential.. [/quote] Actually, I'm not inclined to the NEW creatures because I'm not interested in using strength but knowledge. So ... no exceptions should exist for them. But tell me, anyway, what creatures you had in mind. Do you refer to normal creatures ? [quote name='Granos' date='13 July 2009 - 04:32 AM' timestamp='1247455964' post='36909'] ...I'm most defiantly going to enter this contest just to see if I can beat you [/quote] Any ritual has a counter ritual especially with the limit of maximum 3 creatures of same type

It seems that everybody that wanted to create a quest, created one. I know that it looks similar with other quests, but ... even if I was the first with the idea ... I was (still am) too lazy. Anyway, the contest is like this : - each contestant will be able to submit a maximum of 3 attack rituals and 3 defense rituals (that will no be made public or that player will be disqualified) - each contestant will be attacked by me 3 times and will attack me 3 times - rituals that I will use will be chosen from either attack or defense rituals submitted with full health - rituals that the contestant chooses to attack / defend himself are not mandatory to be the ones submitted but must be with at least 301 VE in the ritual - if not possible due to MP/prison/ban/holiday/creatures/whatever restrictions for a contestant to attend, a replacement player will be required (rules will be established at a later time) - creatures used in rituals are maxed creatures (if you submit rituals with other type of creatures ... I might need time to grow them) - there will be a limit of maximum 3 creatures of a type in the same ritual. Fighting: - fights will take place with 0% influence and NO tokens - creatures used will be from the common one (so , no drachorns of any type, no collection creatures and no other creatures that cannot be bought by all MD players) - I will restrict creatures as I remember them (NO: Jokers, blood archers, drachorns, tormented souls, nut crackers, santa, pimps, imperials) - as angiens are still new (and I don't own one except some eggs) I will forbid this too. Prizes ... none yet set, but I guess you all like your name in a list somewhere and maybe some creatures and a few gold coins. Rituals must be submitted numbered as A1, A2 and A3 (for attack), D1, D2 and D3 (for defense) Rituals must be defined as : [i]A1: <creature 1> <lvl> <target> <ability> <creature 2> <lvl> <target> <ability> <creature 3> <lvl> <target> <ability> <creature 4> <lvl> <target> <ability> <creature 5> <lvl> <target> <ability> <creature 6> <lvl> <target> <ability>[/i] Rituals can be changed in the limit of 3 changed rituals. Replacement player - if a player requires a replacement, he will send the rituals to be used by the replacement player - rituals used for defense / attack by the replacement will be sent using the same definition of rituals as those submitted for contest. - rituals to be used by replacement player are sent so that the original player will take credit for the rituals - replacement players will be selected on base of number of creatures required - the replacement player will be required to send a confirmation and if he has / will have those creatures - the replacement player will receive the ritual required just minutes before the fight Contest (fights) will start on August 1st ... so ... no more submissions will be allowed after that. Subscriptions and rituals will be awaited starting on 20 July using PMs on MD or on MD Forum. [b]Please specify the name and id of player for each PM .[/b] [b][color="#FF0000"]If any ritual is made public, even for example, will disqualify that player as contestant (please use PMs between yourself).[/color][/b] Further details will be elaborated later on. NOTE 1: I let about 8 days to discuss / improve the quest. I might accept some of your suggestions only until 20 July. NOTE 2: I will try to be found around Gazebo of Equilibrium / Berserker’s Way NOTE 3: I will require volunteers with maxed creatures (with no tokens). I will await their applications on same period using same method NOTE 4: please specify in subject as needed: volunteer replacement / require replacement / rituals / change ritual [i]damn this is a long post[/i]

For example the fenths should be kept locked away, or the places where creatures can be recruited from.

[/quote] 1. I hope you meant "move faster" 2. the contest's idea was to be able to sneak inside the enemy land to score and that means that you have to allow others to attack you (one one movement / turn) and to be able to protect yourself (more AP) 3. attack across MP is ... NOT recommended. You should know better what kind of abuses can arise from that.

I will discuss with both of them (not only about this) and I will post the result here (yes, even if mur states his opinion).

Excuse me, but ... I see no facts here. Really. I know what he wanted to do (win HC). I know that he didn't wanted to use his main char (just as many other alts won before). I know that he had a REALLY STRONG policy on not using his alts. But what I don't know is ... did he gave heads from his main char to the another ? Really , please explain me what are YOU arguing here ? What I really don't know is who was pissed on kask winning this HC ? We all know that above this "alt abuse" that we hear more and more , there is another kind of abuse : power (no quotes here). I know what I know, I know what you say, I know the guy and I play this game for quite a while. So, until I see some real evidence that he helped this kask char with his alt ... I consider him NOT guilty. PS: the only mistake I see here is that he tried to win HC on MP5 (and not MP3 as other alts). Anyway, LS, I am with you.
