Because this isnt a quest, This is a simple game mechanic, that im looking for some input before it gets changed since we have new better tools. Its not intended to be complicated, its just resetting of items, something that every player should be able to get relatively easily. Which is espically important for upcoming autumnal quests. Its not going to be based on DNA.

Anything can be changed. The question is should it :)

As i said, working on items. Should be fixed?

As i said, working on items. Should be fixed?

Or, we can alternate, between one week knowing when it is, and one week not. so its even fairer? Then one week people generally have a good chance, then the other it can be group effort trying to get it.

Make a Decent quest Get participents Apply to use the new Quest rating system Get good rating Win WP ... PROFIT ------------- Have fun :) FAQ: Apply to use rating system - contact me with quest name, your ID and i shall provide a link. ideally via bugs at md email account

When i implemented the rain system i added a way of running any event, at any time. This means that a number of events that were stuck at specific times of the day, now could be random. This means we could, if we wanted to change the item regroup to be totally random. Pros of Totally random Makes it fairer generally stops groups of people hoarding tools Pros of distinct times Allows co-operation of gathering tools may be unfair to those whose times are bad. Changes we could make are: Random time, dont tell anyone when it is Random time, announce it in the previous weeks, so people know when Keep the current system What do people think?

Ideally, I dont do anything, and it all is fine, But i know im going to need to test it a couple times, so its going to mess things up. A seems like a drastic solution to really "stop" MD how MD is, to me B is less drastic, and will give some people chance to grab tools they might not have got.

A has no intention in letting them regen, thats a side affect Why?

Im going to be working on improving the item trading/movement system, another backend that needs some work. This means im going to be need to testing all methods of moving items, including shared regroup. I can either A) have no shared regroup this week, let me test it all and no one has shared items or B) You are lucky, and get a shared regroup every single time i run and test the script, meaning that you might hold an item for a day, to have it regroup. My working hours are going to be 20:00 to 24:00 and resets would occur during this period of time. Please provide opinions, im probably going to be doing B unless people really really want A for some reason.

I have removed my list of names and i no longer care for reasons. please remove it from your main list mur since i will respect your request for no moderation to be performed.

Thanks Pip, i shall contact both of you tonight after work.

I am always honest, and will not dance around with words with you. It seems only fair that you are also the same. So as iv told you before, be brutal, speak your mind. Again, we have had problems communicating before, and it shall continue. I post that list as an accuarate representation of what i would like to know. Its a long list yes, and personally i think this topic is a waste of time. But if you are going to offer real reasons for doing so, then why should i not ask questions? The worst you can do is say "im not going to answer". If you are going to offer, im going to see what i can learn. Furthermore, your comment on "some reasons on that list you know for certain". None of those on that list i know for certain. Not once have we ever had a discussion specifically asking why X got Y. I think i know some of the reasons on that list, from what we have discussed and talked before. As an example, rophs. You pulled him into one of our chats for autumn2050 i believe? Now, we never discussed why, and from what i saw it seemed pretty random, but i dont know for certain, and would like to know the reasoning. Yes, At one time period of another you gave everyone on this list chances and powers you havent given to others. Why them? There are a large majority of people that dont deal with you, and are not on this list. Im sure some will agree that they have got powers/things by directly talking to you, and if they hadnt, they wouldnt have done so. The sheer fact is, that people who associate with you, and such, get more powers. You could deny this, but i think its pretty clear. So i want know on what basis you are thinking these people are deserving. Example: When i told you i could code PHP, and would be willing to help out with some things, Why did you give me some projects? If i hadnt talked to you, and the conversation not came around, would i still be coding for MD? Undoubtly not. So to sum it up, no, this list is not "all of MD" this is merely a list of those you know in MD. Which is most definately not all of MD.

So im going to post a list, people will be offended, im not trying to offend you. So if you are offended. Meh. have a nice day and drink some tea. If you are easily offended, dont like me, whatever. Please dont click the spoiler button. Otherwise, i accept no liability... blah blah blah removed PS: please also do not be offended if i havent offfended you, or left you off the list :)

I have found more:

Is the forum death quest trolling as much as the day of fear? We shall see, When ackshan returns in "Lets delay the quest more without telling people"

Is Ls on holiday or something? Or properly gone because I really need to talk to the leader rather than random members.

This is resolved.

I need to talk to a leader, or representative of the TK's but found i dont know whats happening with them, nor do i know who they are. If someone could point me in the direction of their leader or someone i can talk to who has power, i need to discuss some treasury related things, and a couple of implementation things related to new features im working on. I would just send a PM to lighty, but i havent seen him for a while, and would prefer if i could try rolling this out sooner, so i ask the community for news.

PHPDoc :) items are very hacky, most of them are good examples of copy and paste coding :P Although i did find a nice if/elseif/else statement in confirm strategy, that had the same comment, in romanian saying along the lines of they in an immunity zone, no attacks. For every single if statement, because you copied it and never removed/made the comment correct :P

I see no issues with a non strictly typed language :D I like it. Just some of PHP's quirks catches people unaware if they dont know what they are doing :D

yeah you can have too many comments. No the paragraph style you comment isnt bad, its very useful when used properly If you are explaining the basics of the language in a comment, you are giving the code to too new people, unless you are teaching them

[20/07/13 20:08] Chewett:lolnope [20/07/13 20:08] Eon:. [20/07/13 20:08] Chewett:My time is much better spent sleeping. [20/07/13 20:08] Seigheart:And mine elsewhere. [20/07/13 20:08] Chewett:Later then :) [20/07/13 20:08] Seigheart:So, doesn't look like they will get rewarded. [20/07/13 20:08] Chewett:Thats pretty disguisting [20/07/13 20:08] :JadenDew sighs [20/07/13 20:08] Seigheart:Oh well. No one will get rewards, Sieg does not care.

As dst said, its not the community if one player donated 99% of the resources...
