Not very, you require flash to play MD for the most part, But removing flash is a mammoth task that could take 2-3 people at least half a year to do. The issue is that every single scene uses flash, so we would need a HTML5 backend and all the scene images moved over to a new format. There is a mobile site but thats quite limited in functionality.

As a piece of information, we are currently looking into reducing server costs and hopefully this shall be done soon.

This isnt an issue.

Wut? EDIT: to expand: What benefits should they get? What benefits do artists and coders get currently? Why is this being raised on a discussion about fundraising?

I have clarified what a "disposable razor" is above.

MD needs a disposable razor. EDIT: which apparently Americans dont understand the concept of. The idea off a disposable razor is that you buy a handle + blades. After time the blades become blunt and you need to throw them away and purchase more blades. The handle is normally a one off purchase and for the majority of companies its a loss leader (meaning they sell it for cheaper than they buy it for). The blades are the item that the user keeps coming back to buy. The item isnt needed, you can easily get by without shaving your face, but most people do. Its also a futile attempt, since hair grows and you will need to shave again. The idea of having a disposable razor is a product that the consumer keeps coming back and buying, because they feel they need to, without it actually doing anything useful in the long run at all. Items in the temporary shop do this some way but from discussions i have had most people dont use them/only use one to get to the other items in that branch.

Not at all, Its just that they havent been published. Only an oversight that they havent been :) Fang, Magistra and myself are going for MD Monarchy, i have suggested to them they write a forum topic detailing a bit about them but as yet this has not occurred.

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.
