    10 Peace
    Scimitar of Destruction' currently owned by Aysun (inactive account)
    to be returned to me and have its name changed to 'Tainted' and with
    the description of 'By putting all seven shards together, Peace
    reforged Khalazdad's sword with Shadowseeker's guidance at Berserker's
    Way. It emits a vile aura and whenever used against someone, the

    wielder gets hurt as well.'


    9 Rumi
    an independent rainwater harvest tool


    8 Esmaralda
    spell to bring back the night and let the Moon rise. It doesn't have
    to be a spell. It can be an item that "summons" the lady moon (like a
    moon shard so it can be passed to someone else) and thus brings night
    into the realm for a period of time


    7 Eagle Eye
    Silvan Watch Spell or Silvan Spell ( If you deplete the resources you
    can't harvest in 5 days and if you collect and harvest bellow the
    amount of resources you can't harvest in 3 days and the cool effects
    is to lock move 5 minutes in every scene after depleting and
    harvesting bellow the amount)


    6 Lazarus
    my own flag, just like Shadowseeker's, and it will be called "The
    Infernal Order," the complete opposite and I will be the only one who
    can invite players in it


    5 Tal
    an item to give or remove the sylvan watch tag to people


    4 Lashtal
    A Skull shovel, able to collect skull resource (obvious description:
    "this tool can be used to collect skulls or dig for them underground")


    3 Udgard
    upgrade to my item creation ability, to allow me to create usable
    items, and in extension items that can create other items



    2 Hedge Munos
    guitar item. It would be able to change/add location music for a short amount of time by my inserting a link.



    1 Tankfans
    Fix the bridge at the Oak Fort, I can provide lumbers and branches if
    needed. This helps a lot when going to and fro from Oak Fort and GoE.
    Since this is a selfish wish, I hope the it will require at least 200
    AP to move through that bridge.

    Today, I am going to log out, forever.
    Aka, I’m leaving MD

    I have been here for a while, and I have the feeling it’s been enough.
    5 years is quite an accomplishment I think, And I feel good about it.
    I have learned a lot here, but that time is past now.
    I need my time for college now, and art, and other important things out there in the world.
    I’m working to get myself away from the computer more, and go out into nature. Do things that matter, you know ;)



    For those who are interested; I have hidden all my items, alla cross the realm
    Search them if you want to ;)
    It's the last quest I'm making, enjoy it :)



    (ps; you can still find me on YM or Skype, you should find them on my profile)

  5. Regarding the CoE badge being in the wrong hands

    in Children of the Eclipse

    Posted

    First of all, an Alliance takeover is, in my opinion, something that has a rather different scale than posting something in the mood panel.



    Now, you offer us no chance to do anything to take back our alliance.
    You offer us no terms or conditions
    We tried many things to get it back, and we failed. This option now, is somewhat our last option.

    We, Tarquinus including, DO care about this.
    We have worked for it, even if you may not have seen it, or don't want to see. And some of us have lives that come before MagicDuel. We need to take care of things that are more important than a game.
    And we are very sorry for that.




    Why did you take CoE?
    Humiliate us? For fun? To stroke your Ego?
    None of the reasons that I can think of are reasonable. And you never took the time to state one reasonable thing.



    What do you expect us to do?

    Lines get broken when they are too light, so the lighter parts are seen as a background.
    As Shadowseeker said, using darker/continious lines helps a lot

    For the shading: sometimes the transparency stops when the shading begins, because the program sees that as a darker spot, and not as background. I used to be able to fix it with Photoshop using Ctrl+1 or Ctrl+2 (Photoshop CS3) - Then, the program sees it as 'taking all white, and make that transparent' as opposed to 'the background stops at that line'
    I havn't been able to do that with Gimp though.
    I also tried to use the tool 'set transparent color' in Microsoft Publisher, but that doesn't work very well either.

    So for me, Photoshop was the best program to make an image gradually transparent without ruining the image too much.

    My initial thought would be drawing something that mirrored, but a plain mirror would be difficult, and raises the question "what does it reflect?"
    So I ended up with the ribbles of water, removing the problem of th mirror, because it's blurred and does not need to be a clear image.

    Apart from the 5 stones that Duxie returned, there are now 3 stones unfound, and 2 stones found yet not returned. (those two stones are held by seperate people)

    I have the feeling that the three stones that are left, may be a bit difficult to find.
    Therefor, I will give a couple of hints again.


    Anagrams, this time!

  19. Shattered Illusions takeover - reasoning

    in Underground

    Posted

    [quote]It took me a looong time to decide weather or not this thread deserves an answer. It doesn't but on the other hand maybe it's time to clear some things and enlighten you a bit once and for all.

    Let's start with a bit of history: Shattered was created for me. I didn't "work/plan/etc" to have it. To me it was "perfectly perpendicular" (as we say in RO aka it didn't matter) if I had an ally or not. My goals were different by the time I got SI. So, because Si was created for me I became Role Leader. I guess you all know what that means. If not then maybe you should check the announcements (hint: look for DS and simplyzero). --fail no 1 for former CoE members[/quote]

    I know what a Role Leader is.

    [quote]SI is a bug testers/game mechanics alliance. I know things that few know and I dare to say I am very good at doing my job. You underestimated my intelligence and my potential. --fail no 2 for former CoE members[/quote]

    Indeed, I underestimated you.

    [quote]You are willing to trade SI for CoE. And you were "kind" enough to give me a hint on how to achieve that. The answer to this needs to be elaborated a bit.
    First: you underestimated my friendship and loyalty. I would have NEVER EVER asked Eon to give SoS back to pipstickz so I can get SI back and you can trade for CoE. I would have simply moved to SoS and waited for your next move about SI. When I would have gotten bored by SoS see my first paragraph and you will understand what I would have done.
    Second: I would never ever help Loreroot even if that means that I will lose some things especially if it comes in the form of a blackmail. NEVER EVER try to blackmail me because it will never work. NEVER EVER try to squeeze my hand like that. --fail no. 3 for former CoE members[/quote]


    Concerning CoE: I see it as a crossroad, with a couple of paths I could have taken. And all paths are covered in mist.
    I chose one, it was a grab in the dark, and I knew it was a risky thing to do.
    Sitting idly though, wouldn’t have helped more.


    [quote]I showed you what I am made of. I am not a whiner and a beggar. I took the matter into my own hands and ALONE I handled it (ok, not completely alone since Eon morally supported me all the way and I have to thank him for that). I got my ally back through my own powers. I didn't make forum posts complaining about the issue. I never came to any of you asking/demanding/begging for my ally back.
    And with all the above, you all screamed bug abuse and other **** like that. You should be ashamed. You're like the young dog that barks at the passing cars showing how brave it is but when it gets hit by one it starts crying[/quote]

    .
    Yes, you indeed showed me what you are made of.
    I never started shouting ‘bug abuse’ and other *** like that.
    Of course it popped up in my mind, and I discussed it with some people. But this was because we had no idea how this all was happening. We were only trying to find out what happened, for one can not know everything.
    Others may have called you names, but I was merely trying to find out what happened.

    [quote]If you were noble and moral as you pretend, instead of whining and screaming and probably go to Mur/Council (to report me that I used bugs) you could have simply talked to me and asked me. You preferred to go to 3rd sources. I was the most reliable sources but I guess you are not brave enough to face me. Strength and Honor? I say BS. You have no idea what strength and honor are. You're weak and you are cowards. So don't come to be telling you know more about it then I do.[/quote]


    I asked Mur if he returned your alliance, because we did not know what happened, and because I know you are a role leader. Council? No. I also never said to Mur that you used bugs. I explained what happened, and I got my reply.
    I did not ask you directly, for I thought you were going to respond in a not so nice way. You would indeed be the best source to go to, but I thought you wouldn’t have liked talking to me then. A misjudge maybe, but mistakes happen.
    And when did I tell you I know more about it than you - I know that, and even more so now.



    There happened things, that I thought were not a good thing, and I started a topic to explain my thought about it, is that forbidden?
    There is a difference between voicing an opinion and whining, although it may seem like a thin line.
    I always try to understand others when facing a disagreement, and I ask others to try to understand my reasoning too.



    I’m not a wall to talk to. Nor am I perfect.
    I misjudged and I made mistakes. Afterwards, I tried to voice my opinion upon a matter that bothered me.

  22. Illusions and Alliance status

    I want to explain my thoughts about this, in a manner that I hope will make sense.


    I see the illusions, as a dam that broke, water is flooding out, and we are on the wrong side of the dam.
    People on the right side of the dam, tell us to swim up towards the dam, through the rushing water, and get to dry land. Telling us it’s possible to get up there.

    Swimming makes you survive, yes. And swimming up a river is doable, and will teach you things.
    But swimming up a flood, is insanity.
    And when you almost reach that dam, someone will just open another little hole, to make us flush away back to where we started.


    While some people tell us to swim, for it is a way to beat water, I would suggest fixing the dam.
    I think that is the more constructive way to deal with the problem.



    I know I will always have people disagreeing with this. There will always be people upon that dam.
    But illusions should be a cloak, not a tank to make you practically invulnerable.

    yeah thats true, but you are forgetting the part where she is only one, while they are 4, why they didnt continue gaining loyalty, if they did she wouldnt be able to catch up, thing in here is that they are complaining becoz they werent aware of possibility to get back into ally which they should have been, it was known before about ally and illusion cmon how much times ya seen grido in gotr, i seen him twice and i dont even play that much, [/quote]

    We didn't spend too much time getting loyalty because we did not expect this to happen
    Grido in GotR, No I have never seen that.


    [quote name='Liberty4life' timestamp='1327147939' post='101605']so... since they werent aware of it they werent preparing for it, anyway they did it at opportune time, it was night in europe, dst has to go to sleep ya know and she is sick atm and doesnt have that much time to play anyway, so hell yeah they had awesome chances, if they kept it up she wouldnt be able to catch up and all she could do would be to stay frozen in illusion with chances to do anything else since they would be in front in terms of loyalty and since they are 4 and they spread in different timezones, its easy to keep watch[/quote]

    I'm also in Europe, I also had to sleep, and I'm in the middle of college exams.

    [quote name='Liberty4life' timestamp='1327147939' post='101605']
    so stop complaining about not having chances, ya had best chance ever and you went to chill out thinking there is nothing she could do, instead of running around md and showing off your new badge ya could have farmed loyalty but ya didnt

    if ya want to take over ally ya need to think very well and plan it before not during, and get fully informed and prepared which ya wasnt, ya only got nice idea, awesome opportunity and ofc turncoat, ya didnt had all it takes for making such a bold move

    edit: yes at first she didnt remembered illusion thingy until she ended it, then she knew what to do
    [/quote]

    Making a statement about why something happened is not showing off. It's called explaining.
    How was I supposed to know that it was possible? I don't know anything about illusions.





    Now, I made this to discuss the alliance/illusion matter, and wether or not it should be possible, and not on how well we were informed.
    If you want to continue to discuss the takeover itself, you can always find me somewhere in game.
