[quote name='Maebius' timestamp='1357211095' post='129581'] ditto. if anyone needs to see my pic, they can ask. [/quote] many thanks again. The more people that wipe galleries of random non-md related stuff the easier it is

[quote name='phantasm' timestamp='1357210067' post='129579'] wiped my whole gallery, hope that helps some [/quote] Thanks phantasm

[quote name='Liberty4life' timestamp='1357188198' post='129547'] nop, they dont [/quote] Thats because they arnt coded properly. If you read it i think they should. [quote]Restrictions - no illegal files, no porn, [b]files expire after 3 month[/b][/quote]

please actually check to see if your suggestion has already been implemented so you don't look foolish and clog the topic up. I will remove multiple posts here that have already been done later.

please move as many pictures offsite as possible when uploading as we are having big issues now.

All people who are the main contact for any forums should contact me stating the forum name, id, a secondary contact and what they use the forum for. All forums need some editing which is going to take me hours. In a week all forums that have no owners will be hidden. I would suggest you pm your leaders and remind them so your forum doesnt get hidden.

And thus, the topic is slowly degrading into another rant against the council. One thing i can guarantee is that they wont listen to a rant. Wonderful.

[quote name='Mallos' timestamp='1357024903' post='129395'] Why I dislike the the "strongly" options is because it skews the results. Its basically the same if you just look at them as only agree or disagree options as well, but I could guess there might be willingness to choose the strongly option just to help support the effort more (like the outspoken people) rather than because you actually do strongly agree. But i guess its kind of the same thing. I still dont like it though. [/quote] The voting is based on a 5 point likert scale (whether awiiya knew this or not) which is the standard measure for many forms of questionnaire. It may suffer from extreme response bias and various other forms but it is still a pretty good measure even if you are using it for arbitrary things like popularity.

[quote name='Mallos' timestamp='1356976012' post='129376'] if you say that them having names will cause trouble then thats something they should have to deal with as part of their jobs. [/quote] Im not entirely sure why this is always put to council. Mur choose them not to have names, i was talking to him about council recently and he is adamant that he is not going to reveal who is in council ever. Unless someone can persuade him otherwise (LOL) i doubt that he is going to go back on what he has said whether council want to or not. If they did and he didnt want to im sure he wouldnt be very happy (read: angry).

[quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1356972881' post='129370'] Actually Maebius, I'm not sure that's a fair assessment. I think that you could make an equally convincing argument for it being skewed in the opposite direction: because the people who approve of the Council notice a trend for those with a negative opinion to speak up strongly, they are more likely to vote, and vote strongly. And if you look at the board, you and SkyArmy were the only two to comment on the voting with an opinion - both of you spoke positively of the Council (despite my explicit request not to post your opinion). You, in fact, felt the need to encourage people to vote positively, in a thinly veiled statement which you probably shouldn't have posted. There's of course the possibility of skew in every poll - but it's a lot more holistic of a picture than attempting to read through forum posts and ascertain public opinion. In a forum, the strong opinions, both positive and negative, are more likely to manifest, masking the less opinionated in the group. I don't think that the poll represents a more negative picture of public opinion. I think, to be honest, it's rather fair - and because of the outspokenness of Council disapprovers, it may in fact be skewed positive. Awi [/quote] And i dont think thats a fair assement. Its all rubbish. The entire idea of a poll is skewed. All you guys are doing is offering random opinions with nothing really to back it up, its useless commenting really, as useless as the data itself. Espically when the aim of the poll is for some specific outcome. There are three types of lies; Lies, damn lies and statistics.

[quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1356947118' post='129344'] What I meant was atleast reply the person with a "your mail has been read. We will work on it shortly" or something like that saying yes the mail was read not not just deleted or left. [/quote] Sounds like a good idea but have you tried attaching a read receipt to your mails? thats what i do when i want to know if they have read it? Again something we can do lol

[quote name='Azull' timestamp='1356917926' post='129317'] Personally I'd prefer a "single king of the realm" However, to my mind, the only one really capable of having this role or function is Mur. So this option appears not to be a viable one. [/quote] This was tried last time, it didnt work, see Shoeps [quote name='Seigheart' timestamp='1356924804' post='129326'] I want to see the decision making process between them, and how they came to such conclusions. It seems ridiculous that this anonymous group is making all these incredibly important decisions for the rest of us. [b]Who voted them into power? Mur? I don't think that is a decision Mur should have made. It IS his game, but it goes against all that MD was.[/b] [/quote] Im sorry sieg, but this is absolutely hilarious. If a new player had said this i might encourage them to look, quote some Mur. but really you? Firstly you have the audacity to attempt to say that Mur has no right to decide how his game, something that he has worked on for years, is run. Try go telling him that, im sure he will reply with gusto Then you mention "it goes against all the MD was"... Im not sure where you have been, but mur has repeatedly said MD is no a democracy. Saying that an undemocratic body running things isnt MD is funny, because thats how we have always had authority in MD. [quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1356931480' post='129329'] 7. I suggest the council reply to all the pms they get. Within 48 hours. That would sort out a lot of issues. If they fl they are understaffed, they might as wel get more people. [/quote] Personally some decisions that council have to ponder should not be taken "as fast as possible" unless you want big issues. I see MP7 as an example of this occuring. Someone has begged mur so much that he has decided to grant them something which breaks multiple established game concepts... [quote name='DARK DEMON' timestamp='1356937968' post='129336'] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]On every single major announcement, open up a thread in the forum for discussions about it.[/color][/font] [/quote] Why dont you do this? Council has not gone "WE FORBID YOU TO TALK ABOUT ANY NEW FEATURES" so this is certainly in our power no? ------ havent got an opinion yet, and not the time to properly read everything, just picking out a few funnier points.

In relation to: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/13456-council-approval-rating/ Some people clearly think the current iteration of the council is bad. So whats the suggestions of a better thing? Keeping in mind we still need people to decide what gets coded, who gets what tags/items and manage important things like payments of bills and other rubbish?

[quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1356906082' post='129299'] I would agree BFH. I'd be more wary if there was a seriously skewed picture - for instance 10 or 20 person lead in the results. Awi [/quote] Who says it isnt a seriously skewed picture? it might actually be massively in one or tother favour but the "massive skew" might make it neutral? Food for thought.

As a reminder for all people please start using the name snowman instead of morph as mur has previously stated that there will be more morph creatures and snowman is the correct name. Thanks

[quote name='Tom Pouce' timestamp='1356823202' post='129220'] note to val , if your post is for my bid, when i bid for me the day 28 was not done yet ... (Posted Yesterday, 10:52 PM) and yur bid (Posted Yesterday, 04:59 PM) [/quote] He posted 11:59 Servertime, which after that the bid was finished. However the tactic used is generally unfair and i always suggest running auction for a certain period of days then 1 day after last bid to stop such tactics.

[quote name='DARK DEMON' timestamp='1356777874' post='129177'] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Who did that? Giving someone's password is insane...[/color][/font] [/quote] The point of the post is to inform and not blame those attempting to scam others.

I have recently heard of the latest massive scam that is going around MD. According to some people you need to give them your password before they can give you credits. This is a complete lie. When you buy credits, you can detail which player account you would like to get them. The payment information will not be sent to the player you will be buying the credits for, and the only difference is that they get the credits instead of you. Do not trust someone if they tell you they HAVE to have your account password to give you credits. Report them.

[quote name='Change' timestamp='1356043526' post='128612'] But you're right. This alliance isn't like the Dimensional Shifters, because the Dimensional Shifters is and comes across as genuine and intelligent (and the only real connection between the two is an emphasis on exploring) while this comes off as...
