Or, just turn off the notifications. As for "days later" really? Iv never encounteded the problem, a simple refresh stopped any recurring notifications for me. The more intresting point, can it be done as you said? turning off sound notifications to me seems easier.

[quote name='ZenTao' timestamp='1321936271' post='96366'] Would it be so terrible for others to win quests? Of course the people who always win become much stronger, so againsed a less experienced person it doesn't take long to figure out who will win. What if someone who does not have godly stats, a great writting gift and does not hold knowledge in the history of MD, what if they have given all they could to try and contribute only to be passed over time and time again. Deemed not the "best"- How can anyone really judge who deserves what? All those contests which speak of old people who played and left the game log ago, what newer player knows how to answer that? Here's a solution- make contests which need no vote, ones that you can either win or loose, make them fair and ballanced for all people participating, by not basing them off things only a vet would know, if that is not possible divide the newer from the older players and have seperate contests, all the voting starts to become a popularity contest. [/quote] Isnt it already a popularity contest? Why do you think grido is suggesting that you cant vote for someone in your land, its to reduce the effect of voting for your friends. As for the MD award ceremony, you cant win or lose it, it needs to be something where one person wins, and has been held annually each year, i dont really see any other way to hold it other than a vote.

[quote name='Chengmingz' timestamp='1321881467' post='96339'] The contest has not started. That is why there are no votes. [/quote] no, but already on the leader-board there is a first... and you can vote for ones on the leaderboard easier... so they are predisposed to get more votes

Once you have placed a bid, you should be honor bound to make it. Retracting it after making the price go up lots is both rude and plain wrong. BloodPrince you should keep the bid as it is, Or, shadow has the chance to take his bid down to what you took before. You should honor your bids, what you did is untrustworthy and sneaky.

[quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1321843658' post='96307'] 1. I think that the organizers should not be able to be voted for. It seems to have caused some uncertainties in the past - and certainly since we see precisely who people vote for, there may be some influence to vote towards the people who see whether or not you're being loyal. This, to me, causes a skew in the votes away from the actual winners. I, as an organizer last year and a hopeful organizer for this year, think that we/they should be disqualified from winning. [/quote] I would disagree, But i have seen some people's cowardly nature recently, who frankly i was surprised at, and guess it might actually make a difference. [quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1321843658' post='96307'] 2. I think the uniform number per category should be 4 or 5. Why? If it's any more than 4 or 5, I think the voting becomes too divided to accurately portray who most people would agree is the best winner for that category. If it's as many as 7, likely people will choose the candidate they know best, and not the one they think would be best. I would even, if possible, limit it to 3 or 4, but I recognize that people want to at least see the people they feel strongly should win nominated, and MD is divided enough in these days that more than 3 or 4 distinct groups exist. I.e. lands, as Grido brought up earlier. [/quote] I agree with this, makes it much fairer and much more diverse mix, but does all in voting to skew it more. [quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1321843658' post='96307'] 3. I think this year we shouldn't use the votepower that we used last year. It gave some depth to the voting, but still again introduced unnecessary skew. I think the best formula would give you power equal to the number of days out of the last year you were active. Aka: if a person logs on for 365 days out of 365 they get 365/365 = 1. If they log on for 100 days they get 100/365 vote power. Since this ceremony is supposed to award based on the last year of activity, it doesn't make sense to award those who have been active for two or more years. [/quote] And how do you tell how many days they logged on last year? I would be intrested in your methods to calculate this. [quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1321843658' post='96307'] 4. I think that there can be repeat winners, same as last year. To me, it would be the case that a truly deserving winner is awarded twice more times that it would be the case that a non-deserving winner is awarded twice based off of familiarity. My intuition points me in the direction that familiarity should maybe even be considered a part of what helps people win, and not a disqualifying element. [/quote] some awards lend themselves to be given to the same person each year, and it seems a tad unfair, but you and eon bring up a good point that it should not be given to someone just because everyone else couldnt be voted for. [quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1321843658' post='96307'] 5. Not sure about the Land votes... Always people vote disproportionately for the more familiar name, but again... that may do more good than harm in discerning who is truly influential. [/quote] In voting always occurs, more in specific lands than others. Is it fair? No. Can you stop it? without blankly forcing them, which seems unfair, no you cant.

[quote name='Udgard' timestamp='1321714819' post='96194'] How much stats does Eon take away in each attack, by the way? Unless things changed from a while ago when I trained more (with Eon and skilldamage attacking me each cooldown), the stats that he reduce is far outweighed by the stats gained from fighting with max heat. I was training with around 3-4 unallied targets available and another 3-4 allied targets, and I was gaining stats without any problem. Am I missing something here? (I haven't been training much lately, so I wouldn't know if there's any change to Eon's stats damage since I last got hit by it). [/quote] I also have found that as an allied target, if eon is to attack me each and every time the stats i lose from him are far outweigheded by the amount i lose.

Did any king ever use the spell? I know that in MB we got to a point where the MB council were discussing its use, and then it was completely forgotten and never mentioned again by handy.

once the lag is fixed i shall be actively co ordinating times with the names i have already collected in regards to training partners. If anyone else wants to add their name to the contact list pm me

[quote name='DarkRaptor' timestamp='1321542007' post='96033'] May i ask what MD player was rewarded with the bounty? Was it Eno or Eon ? [/quote] It was Eon. Its in the announcements.

me!... if i could login atm lol

[quote name='duxie' timestamp='1321480948' post='95980'] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]sorry, Burns, with a huge respect to you - this is delusional... you're the second one to tell me this, and the first one was another elder... well, one thing is to make a group of ~20 people for some exciting celebration/contest without any chance to lose anything or even get prizes, once a month (year?); another thing is to make at least 10 semi-constant people group daily to push Eon away from training grounds, with a chance to earn his wrath, lose skills, simply waste your time trying to catch him, etc. out of 30 online people at least 10 are friends with Eon, at least 20 doesn't care or even can't attack him (not guilded mp3/mp4, others who are not attacked by him), at least 20 are idle, at least 10 are afraid of him, at least 30 are doing something more interesting and have no time to waste on this, at least 20 doesn't even know what's going on, etc., etc., etc., and that's out of 30... also, the group must fulfill some requirements to do the job - at the very least you need the needle and some powers/spells... whenever i'll have at least few days of free time, i promise - i'll try to do this. but now, let me guess for how long Eon would be afraid of such a group if we could make one? for a day? two? three? oh, well... i admit - i don't know how the needle works, but anyways he can hit anyone at any time without any effort (i'm not neglecting that he made a huge one to achieve this), and to prevent this - you'll need a lot of time/organization each time. as a result that would be fun for him and a pain for defenders. well... you can achieve this once or twice just for the matter of fun or to prove something, but on daily basis this would be just a needle in a heap of hay.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]as i said - i don't care about his stat dmg, i can avoid it or deal with it. i would gladly make some fun from the fact that he exists, but i can't understand how some of you don't see that population as it is now is too small for such task and is getting even smaller just because the same fact that you don't see this, heh.[/font][/size] [/quote] Who was the other person? Because they are most definately right about this, as is burns. I will bet money i can get a training ground together working and working well within a week. PM me.

Everyone is having issues, its a server issue, not anything with your browser. If anyone hears anything offical aka from mur as to the reason then please post it, otherwise there is no point peolpe saying "oh i have this issue" when its serverwide, thanks

its unplayable for me for these reasons, hopefully they can be resolved so regular MD'in can resume.

[quote name='ChildOfTheSoul' timestamp='1321393055' post='95920'] Cheeeewwwweeeet. What do you suggest? Any training groups will have the same problem. We could always dig into tribunal as a group. [/quote] Make a group, someone i can farm you Seriously, you just need organisation. planning, and some movelock, attacklock, needles and GOE spells

[color=#0000ff]Split from http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10933-taking-shared-tools/[/color] [color=#0000ff]-Burns[/color] [quote name='Blood Prince' timestamp='1321369829' post='95888'] Let me conclude with the following lines "There was a thing called DOJO. Everybody supported it at the start then it became too power hungry and enforcing. Tested their power of spells a step too far and at the end of it DOJO was not existent." It's high time we start doing something about this.... [/quote] Actually in the End the Dojo turned into the Sparring ground, which is losely held together by people who still abide by its rules.

[quote name='phantasm' timestamp='1321370063' post='95891'] this topic is not about the rules that will be set, but the idea itself. Please stay on topic. I wish for discussion on the ideal of a training ground for the new grasans. If there is enough of a positive outlook on the idea, the rules and enforcing will be discussed and decided later [/quote] I like the idea, a nice grouping of easy people to farm! +1

Ann. 2089 - [2011-11-15 07:46:14 - Stage 11] The Farting Grasan produces Toxic gas A farting grasan (thx Mya) will fart excessively. These ..products..of his ability *cough* can be collected for later use, whatever those uses might be. Toxic gas together with toxic herbs and other similar things to come, will be usable as primary source to extract deadly poisons or power up items with effects such as paralyze or intoxicate. Ann. 2088 - [2011-11-15 07:35:20 - Stage 11] The Exfoliating Grasan produces Skin An other exclusive grasan ability is to produce skin..of course after inhaling Wiiya gas. Consider it an allergic reaction. Remember, all you need to do to activate a creature ability to produce resources (or process them into items) is to name it properly at the right level, provide it the right things to consume/eat/use and wait for the creature to start manifesting its ability. Ann. 2087 - [2011-11-15 07:14:26 - Stage 11] The Leaking Grasan produces Fat Similar to the constipated grasan, a leaking grasan has a predestined ability. His pores will leak fat drops slowly. This fat can be collected from time to time, or it can build up into large quantities. When you upgrade a grasan to level 2, name it "Leaking Grasan" in order to activate this (disturbing) ability. Ann. 2086 - [2011-11-15 07:11:15 - Stage 11] The Constipated Grasan produces Grasan Ferment A grasan that inhales Wiiya gas repeatedly becomes constipated.. poor creature. After a while, the food eaten by the constipated grasan starts to ferment. Grasan ferment can be extracted afterwards and stored for later use. Some find this highly disgusting liquid quite entertaining for its ..side-effects. When you upgrade a grasan to level 2, name it "Constipated Grasan" in order to activate this ability. Similar 'name triggered' functionality will be available for other creatures over time, sometimes announced, sometimes secret. Ann. 2085 - [2011-11-15 07:02:18 - Stage 11] The Grasan was saved! Some time ago a copyright issue was spotted on our dear ol' time Grasan. A contest was organized to save the Grasan from extinction. The winner of this contest is VonUngernSternberg! Congratulations, the grasan is saved and level 2 of this creature will have the new original artworks created by you. To celebrate this, a series of Grasan exclusive abilities are about to be released (currently done and in testing). They will be announced next.

why not tie in the "jump to location" new feature with this, mur can specify an event and also whether it is to be protected by sanctuary.

[quote name='Brulant' timestamp='1321237454' post='95761'] I'm going to bump this. I recently talked to Mur about the fate of the Necrovion and Golemus Pass Papers, stating that it was rather silly to have Pass Papers that don't do anything, especially when Loreroot's still serve a purpose. I had forgotten that this topic existed at the time, but this seems the right place to place this. If the Necro/GG Papers are changed to serve that function, I think the Loreroot Pass Papers should as well. They may still work right now, but all three items should do the same thing I think. [/quote] Not to mention that fact that MB should get some pass papers. When they were initially intended to open locations MB never got any, if they are being changed to teleport MB should get some otherwise mur breaks his own rule of "treating all lands fairly"
