Randomness and order can easily be seen in radiation. A radioactive source decaying is a random event, you cannot predict when an atom will decay and release radiatition, its entirely random. But take a group of a trillion atoms, and you know that within one half life, half of those atoms will have decayed. Its such as perfect measure that atomic clocks use this predictable pattern of decay to count time. So perfect in fact that these atomic clocks need to be adjusted to fit the inperfect rotation of the earth around the sun. If you look at single elements, without considering their outside interactions, things can appear random. However if you look at the greater picture then it becomes much more predictable.

Over the past weeks the new Marind Bell government structure has been planned and implemented. We are now having elections to elect a monarch so i thought it was time to inform not just those who have access to our private forum how Marind Bell works. This new governmental structure was initially planned by myself, reviewed by Rheagar and then discussed on our private forum by any citizens that wished to discuss it. The government is for MB, so MB shall decide how it functions. The primary govermental position is a monarch, This person will have all the tools and be able to delegate these powers as they feel fit. The monarch is voted in every 6 months by all the citizens of Marind Bell. Any MB citizen can be a Monarch no matter how long or short they have been in the land. Nominations last a week and then voting lasts another week. The monarch is aided by a council formed of 4 members, 3 alliance leaders and a forth important member, elected/chosen by the Marind Bell People. These council are people that you can go to, to discuss important matters of MB, and they have power over their respective alliance. This council represents the voices of the people, and if there is any issues you can go to the King or Monarch. If you have any comments or questions please feel free to ask them. I have detailed a number of questions that Dan asked me today (thanks to Dan for asking me them) FAQ: Q: How can you elect a monarch? A: Because the Marind Bell people decided you can. Q: Why are you telling this, isnt it secret? A: No, We believe that many people are too secretive to the detriment of many people. Marind Bell is the open land.. We do not wish to hide problems with our system, and we would much rather find and resolve them. If another land wishs to use a part of our system in their government then they should feel free. Q: What happens when a council member goes for kingship? A: Nothing, the council stays as it is. Q: Does land loyalty factor into voting? A: No, the land should not be run by those with large land loyalty score. Those that have been in the land longer already have the massive bonus of being in the land a long period, and therefore are well known in the land. Adding on Land loyalty to a vote makes it even more unfair. Each member of Marind Bell has one vote.

Happy Birthday

Currently if you press "view status" (or something) they will break the chat and you will get error messages until the text is moved off the chat. If someone could replicate the bug today, send me links of the co-ordinates i can pull the details out the DB and look at fixing it today. If this occurs to you, clearing the scene of text will fix the issue, But thats not ideal so im going to try and fix it today.

KoB shall run this quest if Rheagar cannot, The rewards shall remain the same as far as possible if this occurs. Its definitely on, Prepare.

I have major spelling issues, I have told you this before, but please lets humiliate me in front of everyone also.

Im going on holiday today for a month or so, not sure how long, Any moderator queries send to any mods, anything that _really_ needs my attention can be pmed/emailed to me, But i wont really be doing much MD stuff during it.

lets ignore the other PM then :) "Sent Today, 02:19 PM Good to see you like manipulating and lying still." "Refuse to do what?! Just because I don't check the forums every couple hours does not mean I "refuse" to do anything. MD is JUST a game. Stop taking it so damn seriously." This is what you get when you treat people like dirt, they dont want to help you out. I apologise for everyone who will now not be able to get their rewards quickly, I refuse to deal with this man in any regards.

I have been trying to get the list from seigheart, his response was rude, and eventually said he didnt want to talk to me about fixing it. Good luck everyone with getting the rewards.

User Registrations have been disabled for today while i configure the system so the spammers cant do anything.

He did post on this thread saying it wasnt on, but he was offensive so removed. But he has ignored the warning and such i sent. He appears to be ignoring anything and everything.

This has been finished, you should be able to access the site again.

Its probably going to be down until 22:00 while backups are taken

This is currently in progress.

This shall occur in 10 minutes.

This will occur tonight at 21:00

I have contacted siegheart and he still has not responded. If you see him or want your rewards, contact him and ask for them. This may give him some incentive if you want to see your rewards before you die.

Someone like a moderator to delete all the spam. Bother them intake til someone removes it. And if you find shadowseeker tell him he isn't allowed to waste his time on ackshans quest.

This has been cancelled as I still have no Internet... So much for then assuring me it would be up...

Have you got multiple tabs open with the login page? Are you using the MagicDuel Toolbar?

Odd... should be removed from calendar then, Mya? Thanks for telling me

Ann. 2581 - [2013-05-14 12:39:37 - Stage 11] There is important planned maintenance on the database tonight at 21:00. This may be rescheduled for a later date if i don’t have internet by then. The entirety of the game will be inaccessible for the period of the work which is planned to take 15-20 minutes. Anyone that requires the game to be online during this period should contact me ASAP on bugs@magicduel.com . All information will be posted on the forum. =================================================== As Mur would say "just do it live, we dont need backups" but since we want to ensure no data is lost there will be a backup and modification of data. I haven’t seen what this months "Day of Fear" is, can someone confirm that its not going to be messing with it or if i should delay the work?

No indication when it will be up, please direction all moderation to other moderators until I reply stating I have Internet.

My Internet is down and the moderator whose time one it would have been to resolve t is doing the forum death so please direct all complaints to dan. I am still not impressed by his quest as it is directly affecting the forum and the game as we will lose lots of seo in terms of google searches. I hope he is happy.

I still have not had the required information from seigheart so am unable to proceed.
