[quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344199143' post='119350'] are they STILL players? if so then I misunderstood, but since it was Mur's announcement interpreted by chewy... well then, it would be an honest mistake plus, if they still ARE players, then what's to make sure that they don't 'help themselves' I know that's stupid, I didn't really mean it, I know they wouldn't, but that's the logical thinking pattern I followed to reach the conclusion that they're not current players. [/quote] Dont bring me into your misunderstanding, i havent spoken to you before... show me where i was interpreting please [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344199143' post='119350'] true. I can't judge this since I just showed up. Before, Mur was in charge. I'll have to wait and see. [/quote] All this sounds like is "Iv come back, something has changed and i do not like it, i shall complain" quite honestly without actually spending some time to see the "new" [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344199143' post='119350'] unfortunately I just missed your summer festival quest... I really got pissed... but my point was that a lot of quests can only be solved by vets. some, I agree, are good for all, poems, pictures, etc... but some, are targeted at higher level players. And usually that's where most of the 'good' prizes are located I'm not saying some don't exist for other types, but that the majority are for this. [/quote] You clearly did not even spend a minute looking at the summer festival, nor many of the recent quests, summer festival had quests where ANYONE could participate, please dont look misinformed in your statements... [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344199143' post='119350'] b/w every other thing in this thread, and a lot has been said, this is my main point... there aren't many mp3s out there... this will solve many, many, MANY things... [/quote] Go on then, you go and fix it [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344199143' post='119350'] it's not that I'm being offensive, but that's not my point... actually, we're on the same side here... change will happen, it should, but I'm not talking about the place i'm talking about the lack of MP3s... sparring grounds is where they are usually located, their lack there is their lack almost everywhere... that's what I meant. and at that time, that was the most populated scene by MP3s in the realm... I'm sorry if I seemed offensive or such Sasha... [/quote] Quite frankly, you seem misinformed and offensive towards people, you seem to have got an idea into your head "that there are lacking MP3's" and have wandered around as many points as you can think of blaming them. Quests, Council, Eon, Awiiya, Heads Contest... the list goes on

Have you considered that Mur specifically didnt implement trading multiple items over at once, so that people would have to trade coins one at a time? I cannot repeat his reasoning for this, for i cannot remember it, but this would go against that reasoning.

[quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344180147' post='119322'] okay, I maybe way over my head here, but, is it really difficult to change him/her? I've done my research, and I know what I'm saying, it's not as absurd as it first sounds. the new player will be an RPC, hence he has to be trustworthy and not abuse his powers, he also has to prove himself, and the council has to approve him etc... but in my point of view, almost any reliable person will do a better job than an almost always inactive one. I read somewhere in the forums that there was a new guy who is drachorn master, but he was too inactive to do the job well... and now chewy just confirmed this... maybe they don't want to switch so easily to a 'temperory' person, maybe they want to find the perfect one directly? or maybe they think that's not as big a change as what they're implementing... again, I might be saying something that's totally absurd to some of you vets, for I've never seen the process of picking new RPCs, but... 5 weeks till the new citizenship feature, won't getting a new master be faster? forget faster, simpler? and it'll also have an impact, many people (believe me you) would rush to try to solve the quest, he/she puts in store. even if not for the prize. If this sounds absurd, I'm sorry I mentioned it. [/quote] Said person lost their alliance once, it was given back and they have done nothing, Essentially their role had faded into the background of inactivity. As for randomly giving a role out, yeah lets just randomly give everyone roles... Since they were given the alliance back, they clearly were in favour to request and get the alliance back. I would doubt they would get it back a second time if they were to request it back, but then i questioned why they got it back in the first place because they were inactive before they lost it. [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344180147' post='119322'] (offtopic) re-opening... I wonder how people would react to that... [/quote] MD has been a lot more inactive than this, and its "activity" changes, at one point "active" was lots of people grinding at GGG.

[quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344177075' post='119320'] but did he give the council authority over all matters MD? I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I don't know if it is or isn't, but it's one of those changes that actually changes nothing, but changes a lot. [/quote] yes he did. It changes thigns quite a lot... Your contradiction is plain wrong. [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344177075' post='119320'] burns, chew, dst, you've all been here for some time, and I don't think you'll leave anytime soon, but tell me, change is inevitable, I know, and we all agree here, that almost all changes Mur makes are for the best of MD, even if we don't see it that way, but I'm somewhat having a hard time understanding some of them, eventhought it might not be my right to 'question the system' [/quote] No, those who idolize Mur and put him on a pedestal will claim that all his actions he does are perfect and great. They arnt. Mur is a human like anyone else and he makes mistakes like anyone else. However he has the right to say that he wants the game to move in X direction, even if people disagree with it. [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344177075' post='119320'] for example, I know that smartAlekRJ used to be drachorn master, and he used to reward drachorns for quests... right now, they cost a fortune to get one, 16 gold and up. [/quote] I would point out that there is a player that has the ability to give these items out, but they are exceptionally inactive and i havent seen them in a while. [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344177075' post='119320'] angiens, eventhough less rare, are a dream for most MP3s... and the annoying this about it is this : they cost a lot of AP to level up and become useful.. that was good! it taught people patience! right now, almost all angiens are old enough to be directly upgraded, but here's the catch, not anyone can get them, oh no... you have to buy them I say angiens are less rare because I've seen many people give them out for quests, Maebius for instance, buys all the ones he can find and gives them all out, sponsoring them, but is there no way a person can get them himself anymore? [/quote] Yes you can get them, see below. [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344177075' post='119320'] the closing of the angien's shrine, I might agree with (eventhough I don't know why), and I will agree with. (maybe it was abused? I trust Mur) but the drach lair is closed only because no master appeared or since the old one didn't leave the key, or or or... [/quote] Angiens shrine was closed by petition of the MB people. One person has access and has the ability to take people there. Again, its not impossible to get them, in addition to drachorns as i have mentioned. You can get both creatures if you try. However for the drachs i feel a new guardian needs to be chosen since the current is hideously inactive. [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344177075' post='119320'] the idea that it's summer , well I agree with that. less traffic, but as far as demographics go if the mortality rate is higher than the birth rate, the country is in some trouble (well, in most cases, China excluded for example) also, and this troubles me a little, a lot of MP3s are no longer doing anything alone! ie, a burst? they directly get the answer, without trying and guessing. beating the guards? people lend a hand and provide a spell... I asked for a cast a few days ago from a friend. he said no, and he was right, I shouldn't get into LR like that, after all, how will I learn anything about it? I was just jealous that those who probably knew less than me about rituals went in faster... spoilers spoil the fun, they don't seem to get it though [/quote] I see the game in its current state as very much "beta" you could prettymuch close MD and work on it getting it into a more "workable" state, and re-open it again. You are all testers for the first stage. Many things need a lot of work to bring it up to a properly playable game. Combat has went through numerous stages and still hasnt reached one with the initial idea of "anyone can beat anyone" [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344177075' post='119320'] amd Rumi, I also knew Marvolo, and I also miss him, no one should leave MD due to 'boredom' or such, MD's just too enthralling... I wonder what happened.... [/quote] Thats a tad foolish, people get bored of stuff, they move on. I find MD immensively interesting from a point of view that few others will share, people get different things from MD.

in addition to what dst says, i could name numerous people you would have never heard of that naturally left the game.

[quote name='tankfans' timestamp='1340990372' post='116264'] AUCTION CLOSED. #8 and #14 goes to apophys for 0 SC. IF anyone need creatures as prizes, [b]feel free to PM me with the lot#.[/b] Lot #s 1-7 and 11-13 are availalbe for grab as quest prizes. [/quote] [quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344022977' post='119163'] I know that the auction is closed, but is there a chance I can still buy any of the creatures? I mean it's been a month, so it can't be 'reopening a dead post, right?' [/quote] its been closed, make a private inquiry. If you are unsure, ask a mod and dont post.

[quote name='The MoM' timestamp='1344021030' post='119157'] for some reason, I'm sure my good-intended actions will be precieved as otherwise, but : I'm guessing this topic was kept open until the bidders pay up... well, I got excited, and then, not... so I suppose this topic should be closed? [/quote] dont bump threads like this a year after they have last been posted on, closed

"it" being, awiiya resigning? If so can you link the post you made

Surely you have a scolarly role and such, don't you do more than just hand out wiiya?

delegation is an important part of running a team. You cant and shouldnt do everything, if you gave everyone in the TK's some WPRC's and such, then all you need to do is ask X to give reward Y out which doesnt take long at all. If you personally give all the rewards out, then TK's become much more pointless and a one man band.

[quote name='Shemhazaj' timestamp='1343828312' post='118905'] [color=#808080][i]-GotR leadership is quite clear. Mya and me are co-leaders. We both can make decisions, if we'd happen to disagree on something we resolve it before presenting a common decision/reply.[/i][/color] [/quote] Its interesting that you feel this way, i was under the impression that Mya was the sole leader. In addition, i would have said GoTR and GG alliances are both largely hidden in their organisation, i would have said their structure is the same, confusing. To me, in both alliances i see a leader (mya, burns, which is apparently incorrect already ) with various members dotted around. Said member are only differentiated by me in terms of how "powerful" they are. I couldn't name any one person that would most likely suceed the current leaders because i dont know more about the structure

Never click the portal if you don't know where it leads. Failing that, ask friendly Lho'S for help

Its BFH's fault lol

once you next login it will break

Clear bug, geoip is broked no need to confirm.

If you doublepress the login button, you will attempt to login twice, This means that the "second time" you just logged in and therefore you need to wait 14 minutes. If you visit magicduel.com/layout.php you will probably be able to play if you experience this problem.

Not if the armour pins you down and makes you much weaker, harder to move and easier to kill because you are practically immobile

[quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1343288993' post='118215'] Also can someone get me back to my spot? Stuck at the GoE. Awi [/quote] Send a pm to Bfh, he has a shedload of spells

forward dating weather seems rather pointless as then when that time comes and no weather did occur, you cant really tell if it was a real report, or someone forward dated it for a laugh. being able to add weather for the past 24hrs might be good

didnt understand battle system - include more battling in the storyline, it needs a change didnt understand what i was supposed to do - have you recently done the tutorial? the first "new" page is a good one mur started to redo, i would propose this is continued

We are still very close to the limits, i encourage everyone to go through and delete any images that they do not need. Scanning the forum there are a number of massive files that look like avatar scans, please dont send them through the forum and delete them, send them to the artist people or via email or upload on other websites. I dont want to have to block all galleries and limit upload space massively, but if people dont remove useless images i will have to.

[quote name='Tom Pouce' timestamp='1342820171' post='117840'] I would suggest, that another time those concern be notify of the rules ... keeping me in dark had made me react to the apparences and its include Fyrd to have keept me in dark ... Note: Its not my fault if i stand for my team mates and friends as for my way of acting [/quote] You cant be told everything, dont expect to ever be told everything... just next time, before taking a cause, actually see if you need to... There is no point telling everyone everything, then it becomes a boring scripted event... let things play out as they do.

A word of advice, as Rheagar points out, ask the person actually involved instead of taking up a cause they dont want someone to take up.

[quote name='Maebius' timestamp='1342687741' post='117751'] But that's less "automatic" and prone to fall into idleness at times. Hmm.... [/quote] See Dojo -> Sparring Grounds If peolpe dont want it, then it wont be sustained, as is MagicDuel. If it does not have public opinion and voice working for it, it wont live.

[quote name='Rumi' timestamp='1342664121' post='117741'] Second idea, we need a social structure that gives 24 hour attention to weather logs. This seems like a daunting task. The only group I can think of that has guaranteed 24 hour availability is LHO. I wonder if LHO could record the weather for us and post a log on a clickie in the Paper Cabin as part of their duties. Community Garden can pay for this service from our treasury. Grido, you asked what garden treasury would be used for. Would LHO be willing to take an additional task? Would you be willing to negotiate a contract on behalf of LHO team outlining services and payment? Any other ideas? I can record the weather when I change it, but I'm not really online all that much. We need logs of all weather events. [/quote] You are the gardeners, why dont you organise your group to do it yourselves... Its not hard work but all you need is a large group of people to send in weather reports... its not exactly a hard job, so just ask lots of people to do it. LHO doing it? lol no, i doubt grido will agree to this. They shouldnt have to worry about paying attention to something as minor as the weather. As for scripting it... possible, will it trigger you to be banned immediately, possibly, i havent tried the trigger box.
