There are already methods to reset your VP.
If you haven't experienced the negative 2-5million VP then you experienced anything in MD and you haven't tried to find a solution nor you worked for it. A clickie is a begger's choice, don't go there. We already have those lame shoes.
Cross MP fights ... yea, like that will be fair.
How would you consider a fair fight between a new born baby (aka noob, aka MP3) and and a bull (aka less then average MP5) ? like : "please don't" or "may I touch you?" or ...
...wth ? are you crazy ? there is a reason why there are MP levels in place : to filter players to their own level (of skill and /or stats). It is for their own protection or the players around them.
More fair then a cross MP fight would be a clickie that you can push once every 5 minutes and you get random skills. That would be more fair.
Skill damage for 1000+ loses ... well, I think you all avoid a spoiler when you omit the real reason for wanting to stay at that many loses:
the skills you get by winning ANY fight even a non-damage one. nobody is crazy enough to attach you once you are that far below, they'd get negative honor in no time So ... skill damage there is mandatory, otherwise ppl would just wander way too far down.
Unfortunately there is nothing to force a player to move out of the "red" zone like : having 900+ extra loses would give you a daily bonus of ever increasing negative stat. That way you either die at 0 stats or you fight to get out.

And I write this separately as it needs special attention: there is/was one other precedence for this cross MP fight(er) and if you don't know it ... you should research for it (pointing at Fang).
Being as he is, Fang, in his way is asking for just this : free stats.
If you (Fang) want to teach players in other MPs to fight (like anyone would believe you know how), you should create new characters (YES ALTS) and teach them.
If you want spar with some friends of yours in low MPs (meaning MP4), push them to an alliance. But then ... good luck finding an alliance to trust you in.
TLDR: there are other ways for an MP3/4 to learn to fight or to grow other then you begging for them.

skilldam stat
i wouldnt call skilldamage stat like Eon has the biggest problem currently, since you (Eon) are pretty much the only one left with it and your days of training are mostly left behind you i've seen. (unless you'd decide to return to your old habits since i dont see an actual BHC taking place any time soon)
fair fights against lower MPs:
MP3:
i believe this would be the answer to the risk discussed before (VP and VE) however i dont believe letting the mp3s fight at 100% of their stats even would give them a fair chance due to creature limitations and the low amount of stats on mp3 (with an exception of players like MRF but those are very rare) so people with bad intentions can always do harm, what you'd need is some common sense, however that is hard to code
MP4:
MP4 can join alliances and in doing so they can be freely attacked by allied mp5s, if we were to impose a fair fight system to mp4 it would create an inequality between the allied mp4s and the unallieds which i would argue is not how things are supposed to be, so i'd say no to the fair fight system against MP4. you could argue to also add the fair fight system to the allied mp4s but in my eyes that would go against the idea of an alliance
statdamage from 1k losses
i think this was a necessary fix to give some bottom of the losses but experienced fighters will make sure they wont make that number of losses if they use the excess losses system.  
arena
i can live with the arena scenes since then the young onse know the risk if they go there. however i would only accept it if said area was not monitored or controlled by some rules like fang wants to do with his MB training spot. it would positively affect player interaction since they'd need to agree on a training method (while leaving the option for having a role that doesnt go by any rules for instance) and will encourage them to experiment more and not just do some rubber duck training getting "free stats" while knowing nothing about how the combat system works (you can still see that with some fossils from the old GGG days).

I will make my opinion very clear: Allow fighting across mind power levels

Ivoraks suggestion just reminds me of the glory days of the GGG. But in all seriousness, as long as these "Arenas" are placed directly next to a Sanctuary scene, im all for it. Unless Stat Damage does get removed, in which case, we could just implement Arena on its own.

And as for Eons handicap comment, he and the rest of MD know all too well that simply having a large creature roster, and access to secret cross crit buffs (Like most veterans do) is more than enough to sway a fight in their favor vs literally anyone thats not a seasoned veteran. So please, Eon, in the name of all that is logical, try to think about what youre asking for. You want to be able to go 100% all you, when you know full well you dont need that to win, that if we were to simply activate Fair Fights across MP, you are still more than capable of beating anyone with your default 3 colored drachs + 1 black and white drach + 2 morph combo. Saying you need to be able to go full force... im sorry, thats a want, and nowhere near a need.

That would absolutely defeat the purpose of skilldamage in the first place. It was put in to slow the growth of monsters like me, this was Mur's specific reason for it which he told me multiple times. It did slow the growth tremendously, but whats it matter when I already had such high stats to begin with anyways. The numbers were already broken.
 
Temporary skilldamage would be worse than no skilldamage at all, since temporary skilldamage would just be a pathetic illusion.

I don't like the idea of these having to be "fair" fights. I get the desire to want to be able to have more people to train on/train with, but it makes no sense to handicap strong players so you and your buddies get to train without any downside. If you are bothered by higher MP's attacking, form a group and go somewhere. Try to get something created that makes it difficult for people like me to beat on your training groups. "Fair" fights for cross MP training look like a lazy and unimaginative way to deal with a possible "issue" in game.
 
My opinion on what should happen: Remove skill damage from the game entirely, then you shouldn't have to worry about anything. Getting smashed without skill damage really isn't a big deal these days (training groups, spells to give ve, certain creatures. People should be able to train just fine). Skilldamage is the only thing anyone should be complaining about since I've got my skill damage stat so high. Skilldamage has become so ingrained in my character that I do feel like I'd be losing out greatly if it was removed, but in my opinion it shouldn't have been put into the game to begin with and has been the single most devastating thing to happen to this game. Deal with the real problem and be done with it.

>Still waiting for Mallos to get a Wiiya Collector since hes the Guardian of Tools, and we do not have access to one to teach the New Players about Wiiya.
Wiiya isn't something we are currently considering putting in shared items.

You took about 7 minutes to find him, when you know where one Begins on the island.
Your reply to my PM was to the degree, you made it sound as if you werent looking. on purpose.
And do yourself a favor, put that cursed pride aside for all of 5 seconds, we might be able to make miracles.
That being a failed attempt, as i know it will be, remember you were the one to make me an enemy.
And again, youre letting your emotions get in the way.
Youre saying a little rough language breaks you?
That is beyond words Azull, as an Ex King i expected better from you.
Truly, i am disappointed, yet you made your bed, so lay in it.

If you are not a Guardian, then get off the Island, thats a place for Guardians, as i was told when i was kicked.
If you are a Guardian, then do your civic duty, and help those that i send your way.
If you cant do that because you either
1) Cant get along with me and im the main recruiter atm or
2) Cant take orders and requests from the public because, again, that damn pride of yours impedes you
Then my dear Ex King, and emphasis on Ex, you have picked the wrong "hobby", as youve made it quite clear

When you read the harshness of my words, remember i am a Mirror.
Evil for Evil.
Good for Good.
Balance for Neutrality.
You layed a deep seed, and now your reap what you sowed.
Enjoy what youve earned, as you definitely deserve it.

Cause you will have even less reaaons to come back to MD.

I would really like to be notified why my wine  / diamond are completed and need to be picked up.
 

In other words: my Chaos Archer (661437) is a real Chaos Archer which was in this ritual since lower levels thus "random" for target.
After updating the Archer to Chaos this "random" was replaced by "All".
So, my Chaos Archer ... is ... remembering some skills   ... meaning that the current battle system is not validating current skills & targets of the creatures vs skills & targets of the ritual.
The ritual is quite old so ... I don't know when this change occured.

As requested to be pointed out, this fits really good on : "looks really bad, or its annoying"

Lately (meaning the past few years) I have become a collector. More spell docs? Bring them on! At this point I kind of lost hope for any old work beeing finished so I will take what I can no matter what the process of getting that (automatic or with human intervention). 

Hi all,
I'm writing this post to gather positive reputation, that's the only reason, I swear!
 
I think it's a great idea for more spelldocs to be added. I read the samples on the frontpage of MD now and then, and the more the better...I don't know if they will be used, though. But you can still write a bit, Mur, it won't hurt.
 
 

Too complicate to invest time and energy only to be "validated" by forum rep.

Exactly: can help. But in the end, unless it's a brilliant post, and even then, the entry of a less popular person will NOT win no matter how you count the votes. Especially if people know their vote can help someone earn something, they will not give the vote that easily. Human egotistical nature.

For the Mark of the beast. Hope this is satisfactory enough

Here in Canada, there are various such things in the schooling system. On the extreme end, some "special needs" students are paired with an adult who helps them through school. On the more light side, kids were often encouraged to join extracurricular activities (granting different social / physical / mental / creative opportunities) which I saw take students from failing to above average and some struggling students were given a supervised work period rather than one of the 6 "open slots" for spare period or extra classes (it surprised me how many were in this, people I considered at least average) where it's a classroom where many students work on different things and the teacher just tries to engage them and make sure they're doing alright, much less structured than regular classes were, for a focused enough student it was the same as a library work period.
As for transferring students, I never saw anything like that happen. Children were, however, placed in either standard, modified, or advanced classes (normal, easy, hard respectively) probably depending on how their primary schooling went and how they do in grade 9, where none of your classes are worth credits.
As for trying to "force" reason into these people, I think an authority figure like a teacher is there to do exactly that. What's the closest parallel to a teacher in MD? Adeptors! But also players in official-seeming (to a young player) roles. If you can't name any such players, maybe it's time to make an alt and try to see MD through MP3 eyes again.
So yeah, you're (you the average MD citizen, not you No one) free to ignore them or to do as some do and chase them out or force advancement (I think Nadrolski and Fang are both such cases of forced advancement, but I could be wrong) on them, but just realize you could be actively damaging MagicDuel as you do. Teaching/Coaching is a difficult and nuanced job though and not everybody is cut out for it, so there's no shame in some such things, but it's important to be cognizant (sort of the root word to "recognize" for non-English speakers and Americans ) of how your actions affect other players at least when they're young.
Edit2: tl;dr I think there`s more we can do, and I think there`s more we are doing, to help new players, but our structure is weak compared to other games
 
Edit:
Also I don`t understand this part but that`s fine, it seems unimportant anyways, but thanks for saying I`m good I guess.

Unrelated to the bug apparently.
Looks like some elu's have been modified recently, or something is breaking their config. As a note I have set every elu to have coloredpaper as their usetype. If I find any now without this set then something is definately wrong.

MP6 had a helper role in the past, when there was more than one so they had to work to stand out. Calyx of Isis started the MD University and the dojo to help new players. The MR Frat started GGG to help themselves but were eventually forced to go public so they ended up helping tons of new players (I know because I'm one of them, for you whippersnappers or those who forget). Back when alliances would actively recruit, new players were a wellspring of untapped potential.
Also perhaps you forget, this is MD. It is certainly not unprecedented for players who play their role well to be rewarded with abilities to support that role, and current LHOs have a big head-start on anyone else looking to fill a helper role.
If it proves impossible to continue the tradition of the live help button, it's still possible as a regular player to be contactable by noobs 24/7, but you might have to get creative.
In summary: I strongly disagree. Whatever Mur has planned, MD can adapt to right itself.

Even if you're not a guardian or LHO you can still be known as a helpful player. If some newbie is buggering me about something I don't feel like explaining chances are I'd tell them to go ask EE or Syrian. The title may give a sense of duty but without the title you have something to prove.
 
What will happen to the LHO achievement?
 
When there were announcements about new guardians of the West I imagined a revival of rawquist and kraubanis (spelling?).

I love how dst bought a fight that was not hers, it was obvious that the admission was ironic, only I realized it?

Ave,

As dst said, mur is not in a habit to take stuff that has already been given. So that settles the question of should or should not they have had the Alliance. They had it and that's it. 
Why they can not access the island is purely for them or mur to say. 
For anyone who cares or needs to know my option on the ally.  Then it's that i will actively refuse to join it (or any other).

Since this is the official forum and not my playground I will state my reasons clear and short:
I consider that the 2 members of the alliance do not fit it.
I think that the ally would be in better hands if it were to be passed to the real helpers that are now stuck in Gateland to try and help the new comers.
