Blood Prince

I would like to participate BloodPrince ID: 39520

The long… long… race is a collection of five small inter-connected phases which requires to a certain task. This is not a first in first out quest so take your time think about it and find the answer. Each phase will run for a predefined period of time. There will be no clues distributed in person all the clues will appear in my Q doc under each phase once a certain portion of defined time has elapsed. There will be a point system in place and your standing will be published in the forum after each phase. The first 3 to have the highest points will win a WP each. No alts only main accounts. Before you start please PM me in game saying you intend to take part in the Long…Long…Race.

Since I had a lot of PM's asking for the solution of the quest I decided to post the solution here. [size="5"][b][u]Solution for Dreams of Mystery[/u][/b][/size] [b][color="#8B0000"] Phase I [/color][/b] I dont think most of you ppl got through this stage but all most all instead of a few required a clue. The series is a function of (n+1) ^ (n-2). The next number in the series is 2401. [color="#008000"][b]Phase II[/b][/color] You have to find four places in MD with the code word 2401 to get all the ciphers. The four places where [list=1] [*]Fish @ MD Roundabout [*]Gazebo of Equilibirum [*]Book @ Clash of Ages [*]Window Pane @ MDA East Wall [/list] Most of the ppl(even some veterens) found it difficult to find the fourth place. [color="#800080"][b]Phase III[/b][/color] This is where the real fun starts in the quest. The cipher words received at various locations are not in place. So you have to put them in order before you proceed. The order is given below (This was the first clue.) [quote] 1.) BRHR CZPRP JWOY 2.) QS RW SR 3.) QCMMFCY WERCRMMFKM MSPPMSQ 4.) LGESPCE MC FJQ Clue 1:- The words in this message is not in order so you have to put them in order. The order will be 1.1 3.1 2.1 1.2 1.3 4.1 4.2 2.2 4.3 3.2 2.3 3.3 1.1 mean 1st word of 1 [/quote] So now the ordering of the words would be changed to [b] BRHR QCMMFCY QS CZPRP JWOY LGESPCE MC RW FJQ WERCRMMFKM SR MSPPMSQ[/b] So after the ordering of the words you have to arrange it in such away that we can furthur decompose it by one more level. For that I gave the 2nd clue [quote]Think of the words as a stream of words without the spaces. Arrange the stream of words without the space in a 5 column x 11 row matrix and then you will see. Try to create the words with the same number of chars as in initial cipher. But remember this will only get you closer not the answer. Result is another cipher. [/quote] Most people though this will directly lead to the answer but it did not We have to arrange the stream of characters in 5 x 11 matrix to start reversing columnar transposition. The result after the 2nd clue would be [quote] 12345 1. BRHRQ 2. CMMFC 3. YQSCZ 4. PRPJW 5. OYLGE 6. SPCEM 7. CRWFJ 8. QWERC 9. RMMFK 10.MSRMS 11.PPMSQ [/quote] Now we have to reconstruct the string in accordance to the word formation of the above cipher now we should go in a column (We used the rows to create the above block). After rearranging like columns we get the following [quote][b]BCYP OSCQRMP RM QRYOR WMSP HMSPLCW EM RM RFC JGEFRFMSQC ZW EMJCKSQ[/b][/quote] Now this is a ceaser cipher with the RM = TO. Replacing accordingly will get you the correct message and the place you should next head which is the ivory lighthouse. The correct message is [quote][b]DEAR QUESTOR TO START YOUR JOURNEY GO TO THE LIGHTHOUSE BY GOLEMUS[/b][/quote] [color="#0000FF"][b]Phase IV[/b][/color] The code word for the ivory lighthouse is [b]'Its a series'[/b] which will get you to the hardest part of this quest. This part even held one of the best quest solvers (dst) in MD back. May be Mur should give me a medal for that The map and the dream connects at the first location raven hold and the war hold. From that point onwards we have to check the links of both the dream and the map and construct two cubes. Btw: Both the map and the dream form a perfect cube. Then its a matter of finding the corresponding location which means 5, 2 and 7 on the map cube to the dream cube and to find the corresponding location means Tempest from the Map cube. The final solution is [quote] [b]Map Cube -> Dream Cube [/b] 5 = Fountain of Dark Vibrations 7 = Gates of Ages 2 = Gazebo of Equilibrium [b] Dream Cube -> Map Cube [/b] Tempest = Hersey Lane [/quote] Its also known as graph isomorphism (one - one and on to graph) in graph theory. [color="#FF8C00"][b]Phase V[/b][/color] The code word for all four locations is 'Illusive beams' Only three people got to this stage. This is just a formality stage and will not last long. One final sentence describes a place to replace the GoA found in the earlier phase. This was actually a blemish on my part. Coz I thought that GoA would be programmable. I set the quest in motion and them only I got to know from Burnsy that it is not programmable. So that has to be changed with the brick at the Winds Game Once all the words have been gathered you have to put the message in order. There can be different messages depending on where you put certain words. Any message in the form given below will end the quest and result in a WP being awarded [quote] Dear questor, you have unraveled the mystery of my dream. You will get your just reward. [/quote] Note of Thanks [list=1] [*]To Burns for setting up the whole quest with clickes all over MD [/list] Any queries or arguments please post in the same thread Thank you

Thank you all for participating in my quest. 44 started and 3 got to the end. Congratz [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons//cool.gif[/img] to all ppl who won and to people who at least had a crack at phase IV. I agree phase IV was very difficult. Please post your comments in this thread regarding what you think of this quest as a whole. You don't have to finish it if you got to at least phase III then you have at least a very good idea of the total quest. So please comment as it is important to modify my future quests appropriately. BP @Miq I really appreciate your effort in this regard. Sorry for the fact you did not reach the end. For the thing regarding the Ivory Lighthouse at GG I don't think its unfair. Everybody know how to get to GG and if you don't know its just a matter of asking. I'm a member of the Guerrilla and I see myself as a citizen of GG. Therefore I think it is important to have GG as small part at least. GG is more accessible to MP3 and MP4 than Necro and sometimes Lore so I think my choice is also correct in this regard

I have been on MD all day and during the last 10 - 15 minutes I cannot access MD. Is it down?

[quote name='Burns' date='13 January 2010 - 10:35 PM' timestamp='1263400520' post='52661'] I know the answer!! Will i get a WP now? =P [/quote] Not you Burns...I have much harder one for you. Tks though for setting the whole scene up for me with the clickies. Oh yeah I got a quest for you what about increasing Briskness by 800 points in about 1hr

You can ask for 3 clues 1 for phase 1 and 2 for phase 3. No clues will be given for phase 2, 4 and 5. [b]To start the quest :-[/b] PM (BloodPrince) me (in Game) [b]Where can you find me:-[/b] GGG or GOE [b]Rewards[/b]:-[color="#00FF00"][b] 3 Wishpoints for first 3 places. [/b][/color] Any MP level can participate in this quest. Quest will go on up until 3 WP are given [b][color="#FF0000"]If you participate in this quest please do take a minute to comment about it after you have finished or given up [/color][/b] Good Luck

What MP level are you? 5 Are you in an alliance? Yes How long does a serious fight usually take you? 1 round with a serious attack rit How many rounds do you usually think is a "long duel"? 5 I would also agree with phantasm on the drachorn lords. They are pretty much unbeatable and it is the part of the reason that GoE gets deserted more often unless there is a HC or a festival. And as MP5 we usually avoid them and unfortunately they are the people that could be found online most of the time. The fighting system was just great before the tokens started screwing up the scene.

Well I liked your quest which has a certain number of questions one has to answer to get a WP. In that quest selection was possible. Up late its riddles all the way. The thing is i'm not a person who is really good in English or English Lit. so I usually let them go by. Nothing wrong with your quests its just something wrong with me. And I think most ppl who does not do you quest has the same problem with riddles. I like logic, Math related stuff. Words, language, writing and especially riddles is not my forte. I have up to now solved only 3 quests by garg, Alith and Burns. They did not have any language or related component. Again nothing wrong with ya quests it to do with me and riddles BP

[quote name='apophys' date='01 January 2010 - 03:02 PM' timestamp='1262336527' post='51577'] Doesn't Fenths Beach (GG) give darkness? [/quote] Yeah its 5 only I made a mistake But none of them give me darkness. Usually the eternal toiler gives darkness. The one in fenth's beach gives me only imagination. Other 4 gives combination of syntropy, entropy, imagination and cyclicity. No darkness BP

I have the following principles and I have access to all the 5 sacrifice alters in MD. [list] [*]Principle of Syntropy [*]Principle of Enthropy [*]Principle of Imagination [*]Principle of Cyclicity [*]Darkness Principle [/list] The problem I have is all of the sacrifice alters give me the first four principles in some combinations. But none give me the Darkenss principle. The alter in Necro used to give me the darkness principle sometime back but not anymore. Therefore I have no place to accumulate the darkness principle. Is this a bug? Any help is appreciated.

MD is a great game and it may well be the best one online I ever played. RL issues are troubling me for the past few months and I think the time is right to make a move so I get stuff back on track. I might be off for about 2 months or forever . Just want to say thank you for all the people who helped me when I was a newbie up to now. I may not be known for anything I did or achieved in MD in MD but I will never forget MD and the time I had with it. Goodbye

[quote name='Shadowseeker' date='16 August 2009 - 10:40 PM' timestamp='1250440856' post='39630'] You do realise this essentially kills combat? No more several rounds, unless you deal a 1hit kill or just use lifesteal that was it for the enemy. Which steers more into the direction of tokens..again... [/quote] well it kills combat if it has rituals such as you for example with 200k damage. But with this the player with less or no tokens can have some say in the batter unlike now unless you have about 100k vit(and still might not be enough in a case such as yourself) p no one can survive some attack rituals. And the bad part is nobody needs knowledge of binding rituals if brute force always work. So then we can just remove the other crits and have only crits with haotic damage and random damage so may the guy with highest Vit P win. That why I think creature like this would change the dynamic. So it will force brute forcer to think otherwise

[quote name='Shadowseeker' date='16 August 2009 - 10:28 PM' timestamp='1250440098' post='39627'] If that gets implemented.. Then random damage will rule again. [/quote] Hmm ya. I edited the spec of the crit so now it wont let random damage rule

[quote]so that only at high level in a rit against a damage attack is invincible? because that's not going to happen[/quote] Well it would be invincible in a brute force attack such as 6 chaos archers with 200k damage each. Thought a crit like this would be useful since too many brute force attacks taking place in MD now with the introduction of tokens. So people who use only brute force must be careful when they are doing so if this crit is in the opponents ritual.

Hi All, Considering some fights I recently had thought a creature with the following powers would be cool. Tell me what ya all think about it [b][color="#FF0000"]Creature lvl 1:- Little Crystal[/color][/b] Req for next level:- Age 10, won battles 30, exp 3000, vit p 500 , value p 500 Powers:- [color="#0000FF"][b]Weaken Attack[/b][/color] (blocks 10% of the attack damage of a random slot.

Only works for opponents having haotic strikes, damage.) target:- [color="#2E8B57"][b]All[/b][/color] [b]To alleviate the problem of random damage the lvl 4, 5 and lvl 6 crit should not be affected by incoming attack. Any incomming attack should be mirrored back so this crit would be invincible aginst random damage and haotic strickes from lvl 4 onwards[/b] The greatest weakness of the creature would be steal life and weaken defense.

Since we have a spell to disable armor in the wish shop why not have another spell to disable the tokens so it would make some god like players come back to earth

([color="#FF8C00"]The quest will lead you to the RPC who is giving the reward[/color])

Hello All, I have created my first quest in MD. Its in my hate page. Tell me what ya think of it and of course try to solve it [b]Reward [/b] * 1 wish point for the first solver * 5 spell docs for the next solvers [color="#FF8C00"] [b]* The quest will reveal the donor of the rewards[/b][/color] [b]Rules[/b] PM me in game the locations and the number of lights to receive the first word you can whisper? You only have one chance and no hints will be given. [b] ################## QUEST ##################### [/b] A dangerous magical mist has been secretively spilled from the laboratory of Golemus. It spreads through the MD lands bounded to…. [center][b] [color="#2E8B57"]From the beach of principles as to the loner in the bell… From the challenge which a few can enter…. To the related orb of might…. From the foyer of might… To the hole which is dark and may be wet .... From the grasses of serenity…. To the lodge it all began… Finally, to the spinning cube in the sky….. [/color][/b][/center] The mist creates an illusion so the area it covers will look flat. So adventurers would get knocked on the building and trees get wounded…fall from cliff edges…..and drown in water. To safely guide the adventures through the area sheltered by the mist you are to place some magical lights. These lights are very rare they cover vast area around them and can pierce through the structures but not through the boundaries. Your job is to find the least number of lights and their position which will get you closer to the researcher who spilled it.[color="#00FF00"][i][b] Within lies your reward. The magical lights should be able to see the other lights to unleash its full power otherwise the magic would fail. The lights should be in the area of the mist not its boundary. [/b] [/i][/color] Reason for Edit:- Clues made easier to understand and additional information about the light formations are given

I voted yes. He is a strong player but what he did was wrong. May be give him a stat punishment or thing like remove all tokens or crits.

Agree with MasterB and Burns. Its not fair for people who cannot access the net every other day like me. I'm mostly online in weekends. So I will have at most 8 active days in some months which will cost me my avatar. Burns Method is good. I think for players who are young to the game should not be permitted to by an avi until they prove their self say atleast 40 active days and MP4.

Since currency is in place in MD I thought comming up with a weird idea. I want all ya feedback on it. 1. The currency is accepted through out MD. So on issue with that. But what if we come up with currency for each of the lands and their exchange rates and stuff. So it would be intresting and all the currency will have an authenticity. Also this will help individual characters who are glued to their lands. 2. For the above one to work each player should be a permenant resident of a land and in that he should earn a place to live. So at first all land is owned by the government of the respective land and then the individual players is able to buy them from the government for competetive rates. This gives so many possibilities for jobs and way of income for the MD inhabitants and it spreads the wealth. 3. Government of each land should be elected as requested by the citizens of that land. This can be dictator, dynasty, democracy or anything they wish, So all governements report to a MD high council and they are elected by Mur or the people or both. So this is part of what I have in mind. Please give me feedback whether this thing will work. If so I will post the rest of the ideas i have. Anyway this promotes a citizen life in MD.
