What is your favorite type of confectionery? (aka, sweets, chocolate, muffins...)

[quote name='(Zl-eye-f)-nea' timestamp='1322832172' post='97046'] I agree with Kyphis. They are just pretty pictures otherwise as far as im concerned....which is fun but...yea. Z [/quote] Illusions also give you stats, creatures and spells, depending on how its set up. Loreroot Soldier gives you a variety effects, not just an avatar.

What is generally your job/function?

I might as well make it, since i guess none of the so called speakers did, and i also have the power [cquote]Ann. 2111 - [2011-12-02 01:05:25 - Stage 11] MD Question Time This month we shall be trying something new.

[quote name='Passant the Weak' timestamp='1322815432' post='97029'] - Democracy based on a council/government in Marind Bell by Handy Pocket. [/quote] You refer to the MB council that was set up by Lifeline and I before the first Kingship Voting? Handy Adopted the system, Rheagar and I improved it so it worked in the new age.

It would be intresting to see each land form their own group, but exceptionally problematic for Mur. Say he wants each land to do X or Y. Who does he turn to as the person or people in charge? What happens if a land is split, does he pick the biggest and totally ignore the others? There is a benifit for having one person at the top of a land, becuase then mur can just go to them and ask them things and do stuff. Wheras if you have multiple people organisation and planning things becomes a nightmare.

[quote name='Kyphis the Bard' timestamp='1322811318' post='97024'] Interesting, none of the times I have had access to Illusions have I ever seen those two, far as I can recall... Ah well, the fact that they are old doesn't really change that I think they should disguise that information as well. Although, that they might be implimented in a way other than Illusions does affect that. Same gist though. [/quote] They were hidden, so you couldnt see them unless you were a "higher" illusion level, or had some wookie magic.

[quote name='Kyphis the Bard' timestamp='1322781903' post='97005'] Mainly talking about the newer ones, such as Tainted Warrior and Loreroot Soldier, both of which are clearly meant to hide the players identity. And yes, Chewett, I have used Illusions. Several times. Not all illusions are for hiding (or even faintly related to it) but the newer ones do appear to be supposed to mask who the person is. [/quote] Tainted Warrior is one of the oldest illusions Loreroot Soldier is currently being worked on, with some rather large bugs atm, and again is one of the oldest illusions just having a facelift. And its not meant to entirely hide your identity, merely cloak it "mostly", because of how it will be used (when its eventually implemented ofc, which *spoiler* might not nesscarily be an illusion ) [quote name='Hedge Munos' timestamp='1322782223' post='97007'] Hm...I like this idea. Would it conflict with the 'open seats' in alliances? Hedge [/quote] Currently i believe it does, but said players are not supposed to be in the alliances permanently, merely during certain "times"

[quote name='ColdSteel566' timestamp='1322780982' post='97002'] That would be the point of the illusion, wouldn't it? To hide your self from others? [/quote] Not really, have you used the illusions? none of them are really to hide yourself.

What illusions are being tested? And, you feel illusions should totally hide a players identity?

Anyone participating in the BHC will also be able to take heads. It is a known issue with running BHC and HC around the same time. Intresting that it works.

Im currently having a look at some CSS fixes for said problem. Based on some tests it "might" be possible without changing lots of things lol And, if people are doing it, check and tell a LHO who will know who to report it to.

[quote name='Prince Marvolo' timestamp='1322591242' post='96816'] There is a reason that some creatures are only avaiable at the highest level at MP6, and thus they are not for everyone. Deal with it, that's the whole point. [/quote] It seems totally unreasonable to say that you are only allowed to fully level your creatures if you are a protector and from what i have seem, many protectors do not care about combat. Wheras there are a much larger group who do care. Mur himself said that MP6 is a stage EVERYONE will go to, even if its just for a couple days. Currently we are in limbo between his changes, and i dont see there is any point getting worked up about X or Y. MP6 at the moment is hard for protectors. If their adepts are so easily turned by some silver, then i question if they are really good enough protectors to their adepts. [quote name='Prince Marvolo' timestamp='1322591242' post='96816'] As for the MP6 changes to attain more stability: I do think there are changes needed. Maybe focus less on adepts but more on worshippers? Like some relationship between "adepts x worshies should be over a number" As in, to become MP6 you'd need 50 adepts (example), but for every worshipper you get, you'd need less adepts. but then poured into a fitting formula. Since worshippers are more stable, the more you get, the more stable you'd be. And if you have less worshippers, ans thus beeing a bad protector, you'd be a lot less stable. [/quote] Actually i think thats adverse to what it should be. Personally i see Worshippers as peolpe who help you, and you can help, but the adept count as a "view" of you as a protector. One person can leave your adeptship but if the majority still likes you, they are still stuck with you as protector. Wheras if you lose a large amount, you drop. Its a kind of public opinion. (this is assuming you have around 40 adepts, because personally i dont feel you can be a true or stable adept at the 30 level.

I disagree Master of controversy should be added. I personally dont think scandals and such should be awarded and it does overlap between best villein. To give some view, i would say Eon would win both prizes since he has been quite villein like this year, assuming he doesn't see the loophole in voting or doesnt want to take it. I agree with removing best quote i agree with merging "Best Artist" and "Paragon Papers" I feel best quote should be removed I disagree that MD Clown should be added this time around, perhaps next time if lots of people like said idea.

It depends what loyalties people have, Personally i wouldnt shift protectors since that requires losing a large chunk of loyalty. I would say 40 adepts is a good safety margin, but have not been a protector so i do not know how much these values change. Now, Have you considered if someone else wants to be a stable mp6? I myself have been considering going for MP6 becuase iv never done it and its something i would like to do. Not only for the creatures, but i feel that it will be much easier to help people if i have the ease of them being my adepts so i dont have to have a friends list a million players long, and as people want help i can specifically target and talk with them, wheras me talking them and going "im protector of X, i dont need your help" You will especially have problems if all the current protectors want to stay, i could for example gather a few adepts from each protector and get all of them falling down... Or do you just ignore any new people who want to be a stable mp6 for a couple months, and just pretend they dont exist and attempt to manage such a system ignoring their influence.

[quote name='Grido' timestamp='1322419492' post='96699'] Just as a note, Mur's on the exclusion list from winning - he'd probably win everything otherwise. [/quote] Not really, his combat is rubbish, along with the fact he doesnt cast spells or never completes quests. How is top techie judged? I brought the same point forward last year, No one is in an adequet position to judge, Since some of the things iv written personally will only ever be used by a few trusted people, Not to mention bugs that people like shadow ect find wont be published. Perhaps change this to best MDscripted event or script.

remove influential, Its too broad of a topic. And so many people would have so many different viewpoints on what is influential. Surely just mur should win every time since he is most influential.

remove superlative orator, i havent seen many debates, nor decent election speechs ect.

can lands vote for other land members? can people win the award again after a period of time?

game load time != laptop speed doesnt matter if you have an IBM Watson, if you have dialup you arent going to load it faster. as the others have said, Each time you visit a scene it tells the game you are active, if it gets too many of them within the same period, it shuts you off. give it a couple more seconds and you shouldnt get it come up

3 sold, 2 left

none of them will be being sold for less than 5 silver due to the age and ability to upgrade them almost immediately. If junior wants to complete the trade now he can pm me.

over the past month multiple forum leaders have come to me and asked me add people to the various forums. This is perfectly fine and part of my job. However, More specifically in the last month, people have been asking me to add people who already have access, claiming that they dont, cant view it, ect ect ect. The first time this happened i spent time working with the settings to try and find out why said user couldn't view the forum. What specific combination of forum settings was hiding it from him and other technical checks that i did. After spending a considerable amount of time dealing with this, Talking with the user and such. I asked if the direct link to the forum worked. It did. And when asked "can you see the forum here" providing a link, yes, yes they could. The whole problem? The forum leader had not told them where it was and/or what it was called. Now i didnt really mind the occurrence, It was a mistake and i was sure that said forum person wont make it again, But now its happened more times i just need to post this so everyone knows. [b]If you have a problem with one of your private forums, You need to talk to your forum leader first. Since all changes performed on those forums must be confirmed by them i will not be able to do anything. If they cannot help you, they will talk to me about it, and then i will most likely come and find you to help fix said problem.[/b] [b]To Forum Leaders: If someone cannot access the forum, try giving them the link to it, When getting someone added, tell them where the forum is so they can find it. Then if they still cant access using the link, talk to me.[/b] I dont mind if when adding a number of people i have forgotten to add someone, accidents happen so dont feel afraid to say "oh i dont think X has access, can you check" but i dont like it when i find out that its actually your fault because you havent told them where the forum is. thank you Chewett

I was under the impression you sold your duel creature, although Mur said you shouldnt [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10790-anniversary-aramorhollow-warrior/page__view__findpost__p__94215"]here[/url] is it still available?
