Chewett

A Decisive victory! Try pasting into a word processor and then into the forum?

CC @Muratus del Mur should I remove it?

Chewett had seen enough. If the depletion of the Realm's resources had been caused by the actions of its people, then perhaps its people could also be persuaded to prevent it. One voice complaining about empty lands could easily be ignored. A collection of voices, however, might become something considerably more troublesome. So Chewett began to write. Messages were dispatched across the Realm to old friends, familiar names, trusted figures, and those whose opinions carried weight. Some were asked what they had seen. Others were warned of what he feared was happening. A select few received a more direct question: would they help? Between letters, Chewett drafted the beginnings of something more permanent. Not merely a complaint, nor another temporary agreement destined to disappear when attention wandered elsewhere, but a coalition whose purpose could be stated plainly. CARD — the Coalition Against Resource Depletion. Its cause was simple. The natural resources of MagicDuel belonged to a living Realm, not merely to whoever happened to reach them first. Gathering would always have its place, but endless depletion could not be allowed to leave the land barren for everyone who followed. Those who joined CARD would be expected to do more than merely lend their names to the cause. Members would cease working with known depleters where they could, watch for the marks they left upon the Realm, record their actions, and make their disapproval known. Where they saw depletion taking place, they would challenge it, chastising those responsible as they saw fit and ensuring such behaviour did not pass unnoticed. The intention was not simply punishment. It was pressure. If depleting the Realm carried consequences — fewer willing allies, greater scrutiny, and the uncomfortable knowledge that someone was keeping note — then perhaps some would think twice before stripping a location bare. Whether anyone would actually join CARD remained another matter entirely. Chewett sealed the final letter, placed it alongside the others, and looked towards the small gathering beginning to form around him. At least, he thought, he would not have to find out alone.

@Muratus del Mur and I discussed it and agreed we would like to see more effort. My suggestion would be to try another submission but Mur may have some more choice words for you

Welcome back and it's nice to see you. Fang can Discord me and I can help him

Chewett slumbered. For how long, none could truly say. In dreams he wandered through the cast shadows of worlds past: places long changed, voices long quiet, and memories of a MagicDuel that existed now only in fragments. The old Realm moved around him like smoke, familiar yet unreachable, until at last the dream began to thin. When Chewett awoke, it was to a new MagicDuel. The air itself felt different. There was magic in it again - not the tired echo of what had once been, but something renewed and restless. The world had evolved while he slept. Strange possibilities seemed to gather at the edges of perception, and everywhere there was the sense that the Realm was once more capable of becoming something greater than it had been before. And yet, as he looked out across the land, that feeling of abundance was betrayed by what lay before him. The world seemed emptier. Places once rich with the natural bounty of the Realm stood strangely bare. Resources that had once been found in plenty were sparse, exhausted, or absent altogether. Chewett walked farther, expecting the familiar signs of plenty to return, but the pattern only became clearer. This was no natural drought. While he had slumbered, the people of the Realm had been gathering. Harvesting. Taking. Some carefully, some greedily, and some seemingly without thought for what might remain for those who followed. The magic of MagicDuel had renewed itself. But its resources had not. Chewett stood among the barren ground and surveyed what remained. Something, he decided, would have to be done.

Lovely to see more friends: https://forum.magicduel.com/topic/29107-joining-the-war-of-resources-on-the-side-of-card/#comment-206255

I love to see more activity ingame, awesome work

Ladies and gentlemen, adventurers and wanderers of the Realm, open up the latest edition of the MagicDuel Newspaper and read into a story of intrigue. For the next several days, we shall be bringing you a most extraordinary tale of intrigue, conspiracy, dwindling resources, unlikely alliances, and perhaps even the occasional entirely reasonable overreaction. A mystery whose roots reach deep into the very resources of MagicDuel. A mystery known only as... Our story follows Chewett, Grand Duke of the East, investigating the curious disappearance of the Realm's resources as they begin to uncover something far larger. Who is taking them? Why are they disappearing? Can anything be done before the lands of the Realm are tarnished forever? And, most importantly... Can the green CARD stop the forces of evil terrorising the land? With allies gathered, suspects questioned, evidence examined, and increasingly suspicious quantities of paperwork produced, Chewett sets about forming a coalition dedicated to confronting the spectre of resource depletion. But in MagicDuel, matters are rarely quite as simple as they first appear. Presented in the grand tradition of the old wireless detective mysteries, Chewett and the Green CARD will unfold as a serial drama, with a new instalment released each day (depending on Chewett's work schedule). Each episode will reveal another piece of the mystery. Another clue. Another suspect. Another step towards the truth. So adjust your wireless set, extinguish the lights, settle into your favourite chair, and listen carefully. For somewhere in the darkness of the Realm... the game is already afoot.

Hey, if you want to join CARD by blocking depleters I wrote a short guide!

To clarify as someone pinged me asking whether the grace period exists: The grace period is 1 week so that those who don't read the post can have some leeway. If after a week you still don't know, that's probably on you. The grace period does not apply to those who have read the post and continue to deplete, regardless of @Ledah claiming he didn't read it.

To block someone ingame you can to go to options by pressing the cog at the bottom of your page: From there you can select a number of names to block either in the mood panel or chat: Once this is done they will show up as blocked:

I want to block someone so I stop seeing their messages, how can I do that?

Nice! cool tool. We will monitor for this :)

Seigheart - 15 marks Ledah - 4 marks

As per the most recent evidence we have two depleters that CARD will now refuse to trade or work with: https://forum.magicduel.com/topic/29102-known-depeleter-evidence-log-card/ I have personally blocked their chat messages, mood panel, forum pm's, and will refuse to allow them to participate in any events/quests I run. @death ray please note the depleters above you should not deal with.

Ledah - 2 Marks Seigheart - 1 mark (Ledah only took it to the minimum) Seigheart - 1 mark Ledah - 2 marks Ledah - 1 mark Seigheart - 1 mark Ledah - 3 marks Seigheart - 1 mark Seigheart - 1 Mark Ledah - 1 Mark Seigheart - 3 marks Ledah - 6 marks Ledah - 4 marks Seigheart - 2 marks This brings the total Marks for this evidence to: Ledah - 19 Marks Seigheart - 10 Marks

This post should be posted to by members of CARD to track those depleting and so we have a record. Current Depleters (and their score) Ledah - 23 marks Seigheart - 25 marks

Added some more details :)

Sorry I don't know what you mean. I'm not aware of tools that do/don't deplete?

Death Ray, that looks like a great start, can you make it any more drachorn like? Maybe coloured flames?

Post it dude

I tried to give someone heads and it didn't seem to work. Announcement: https://magicduel.com/page/Announcement/view/1466 This worked outside of heads too, but doesn't seem to work anymore:
