No coding experiance is needed, the part about coding is that, you have access to me to do all coding related changes you want, within reason.

For complete clarification, All positions will be VOTED in, by the public. Mur however skipped over this bit becuase he didnt like the concept of public getting some rights... What are these lovable dictators and their illusions of power like eh? :P

Yeah... about that, you need to reply to my email about this...

project omega will involve making some of this easier. But for the moment things are way too tightly coupled to easily give out code for people to work with without fully trusting them.

This is the thread for those applying to be a member of the public council. [log='Announcement']Ann. 2703 - [2013-08-09 22:23:47 - Stage 12] Public Council There is going to be a new experiment lead by myself, Chewett. I will be forming a public council that will act like the MD council, making decisions and directing coding work as they see fit. There will be a number of stipulations on their work, and some of the items they are informed of will be asked to be kept private. I will give a slice of my coding time entirely to them to perform any code or administrative changes to the game. They will have the power to ask any questions or work of me, however some questions will not get full answers. As with the MD council, coders will have a veto power in any situation where the requested work is technically unfeasible or will cause unwanted consequences. The idea to trial a public council was discussed by Mur, the council and I. This is an experiment to see how the public reacts with having a public council and how the council members work. Provided that you keep secret everything told to you, labelled as secret, then you are a possible member as this is the only requirement. This council will be formed of 4 members. One below 1 year active days, one below two years, and two of any age. The forum voting system will be used to vote. If you wish to participate make a forum post on this topic stating your playername, ID, Active Days and Reasons why people should vote for you. Do not write pages of information, keep it brief and to the point. Once a week has passed voting shall commence. There will be various criteria for changing the council, i shall see how it progresses in its first months of inception and decide how it goes on from there. This is a chance to have a public council, doing what you, the public, wants. Lets see if it can work. ~Chewett[/log]

Not really. Md needs code more than anything at the moment and money buys random people, not ones trusted by Mur to code. I would quite people properly but on phone so hard to, sorry bierman: you are hired! I will pm you details when I get home. Quest board is good. I think I'm going to make that a clickable. Rophs: tutorials is in work. See autumn2050 Rik: I'm going to do the idea of permanent quests in md. it's good. I'm also working with Lho'S to try and improve their interactions (who by the way we want more people for, so contact Grido now!) and some other stuff people mentioned.

Tools get damaged from use if you are inexperienced. They also, in most cases will get damaged from use, basic wear, and accidents. The concept of wear fits in quite nicely. I wa thinking of making independent tools have some wookie magic against tarnish. But I won't have time for this until Iv at least started omega.

As a first and last warning, if you slander an idea on these type of topics, anywhere in the forum, aka not nicely. Then im going to close it, just because you quote it and make offensive comments in other places, im still going to close these threads. Ideas should be nourished and encouraged.

AUTUMN2050

as i said, i like the idea, i might simplify it and discuss it with you at a later date.

I like the point of view, of damaging the tool, im not so happy about the idea of depletion, thats a social thing and shouldnt really come into this.

The system is set up, as such, so that people can deplete and then harm the regeneration rate if they want. That isnt going to change because thats one of the "community" aspects. While it would remove much/all controversy around the gathering below the "good" maximum its not how it was meant/suggested to be. Actually i liked that idea, it opens a number of avenues to more social interaction, roles and similar.

Closed. Troll thread is trolling.

Again, another useful comment. That sounds good, in combination with the above idea. In collecting memories from a land it makes sense that there be different byproducts, as you "clense" it away to produce a pure memory stone.

Also if people can vote using reputation on the ideas, that would be good :) Thank you laphers for your comment, more stone type items would be good, but i dont think that memory stones will be changed in that regards, but it is something i shall consider and put forward in the coming discussions.

Since another recent topic on this has degraded once into into abuse hurled complaints, im going to open a new one, more generally, on something i would like to know. All the lands have given me their resource data now (i think) and therefore i will be going through it with Mur and others to balance it for AUTUMN2050 which requires certain conditions. If anyone wants to make nice, friendly comments about what resources should be rarer/more common/more easily available i would like some feedback, so it is welcome. If anyone wishs to start trolling, being offensive or whatever, then im going to lock the topic and do what mur does, change stuff without consulting people publicly. I like to talk to you publicly to find out general opinon rather than just doing it, but wont deal with all the rubbish that the forum is now full of. Your choice.

Cool, im not going to reply to this again. Whenever i make the mistaken of trying to point out things, MD forums prove again, MD is failing because of the people. Perhaps you should consult your diplomat RE: attacks on MB.

You sound like a stuck record sir. I guess i need to make a post about one of those points...

Nad freely gives out batches of 500 water to all MB citizens. Furthermore, if you wish to complain about monopolies, GG has tools that no other lands can get, full stop, and sells the use of them. I would question why nad is being looked at in this case.

The original thread specifically says no tokens.

We should make an "advertise MD" page ingame, with all of the banners we have.

Project Omega See the email im sending and ideally reply telling me which address im meant to email you with.

How would one obtain such item? And how does the spell work, tie in the with current "knowledge into memory stones" concept.

I would like to read these to see if there are any interesting ideas providing those that submit are happy me doing so. Consider that a sponsorship ;) The really good ones, i will seriously consider implementing.

Balance dictates you spread things around, not give all the "turn the table creatures" to one land. As a point of fact.
