its back, Closed Remember to wait at least half an hour before reporting things like this.

[quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1296229098' post='78145'] This Princess is NOT Marind herself... though it is fun to hint and misdirect. But here I am claiming there was once some OTHER princess in MB... [/quote] Misdirection is wrong. You should not be claiming anything, Nor have anything which would be adding to, or changing what is fact and known about MB. Making up history is an intresting one, Im prettymuch against it because we have quite a lot of background to base most things on, Im still waiting for someone to make some nice quests based on the shade wars that many players havent heard about. Espically if you are "misdirecting" people, like you say, because that merely confuses the issue and means that the real lore is merely hidden by people making up rubbish.

[quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1296226040' post='78143'] Am I correct that we are allowed ONE and only one variable to be universally stored and accessible through a clickie regardless of which player accesses it(using store and retrieve functions)? But that one variable can be an array? [/quote] Never heard you are only allowed to have one aoau (all object, all user) var. Iv got a tonn for several different things. It can be an array. [quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1296226040' post='78143'] In the punch-card days, an Array was a numbered list of finite pre-defined length. In MD script it is of variable length, theoretically unlimited, the index number the computer might use is hidden, and an entry is 2-part consisting of "tag" and "data". Tag is text, data is anything. Correct? [/quote] arrays in mdscript can be undefined length, Allowing for adding in items randomly. the index doesnt really matter, all that matters is the name and what is stored example $test = array(); $test[1] = "hello world"; $test[] = "hello"; $test['testing'] = "boo!"; Are all valid (probably, not sure about middle, but im pretty sure it will give the index one higher than previous one given, aka 2) [quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1296226040' post='78143'] A variable not previously filled is "null" not zero? [/quote] Yup [quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1296226040' post='78143'] Is there a practical limit to the size of the array we can store? When does it start impacting server cost or whatever? [/quote] Not sure about Server Cost, But when you get a larger variables it will end up causing a memory allocation limit, and the script wont run. Happens when you are dealing with larger amounts of data

Not entirely sure what you mean by "spoilers" I dont really see anything wrong with the first post.

[quote name='phantasm' timestamp='1296090425' post='78063'] speaking of posting the memorial. It would have been done some days ago, but Chewett felt that my locked post for it in the CT section needed to be poofed or watever the hell you did with it.. Now my forum shows as there is an unread topic on it, but it isn't there. Would be be kind enough to put it back where it belongs so that I can. I spoke to DST prior to making the two posts if that is the reason you felt the need to mess with it. It was meant for the official stuff while the one in the General Forum was for comments. Soon as it's back and the CT forum is fixed, I will post the complete unedited log, including the ludicrous bit at the end with seighart and curios. [/quote] Im not entirely sure why you are angry with me, Probably because you didnt like what i wrote, Meh. No clue what topic you are talking about, i havent dont anything with that area recently. You do relise there are "other" mods on the forum that can do exactly the same as me? I have no recollection of doing something in that area. So please dont start accusing me of things that i havent done, you just look foolish in doing so, because there are others with my powers. If you had wanted to know what has happened, you could have contacted me or any of the mods to look into it. Pm normally is best. But as usual, Just accuse anyone you like here with no proof whatsoever. Its always my fault

That quest is player run, and spoilers to help complete it are not allowed on the forum. This will be closed. if you need help, contact the quest creator

I would say that "Vet" is come to mean anyone who has made a mark on MD, and has spent a significant time in it, There are some people just at a year i might call a "Vet" who are pretty new, Wheras there are several older people who i wouldnt really refere to as vets as they come and go, not really playing much. "Ancient" to me would be to talk about the real old people like MB, the ones who have been here a long long time. Choose who you want to remember, Make memorials, But i agree with MB in the fact it needs to be based on their great achievements and not bring up some of the more controversial things. Perhaps by asking some of the public who they think should have a memorial. Keeping facts are ofc a must, There are many who will "Remember" people, But many people who "remember" will have never met said person, having heard stories from more people who have never met them. Good Luck, Do what you think But PLEASE dont make memorials based on incorrect information and such

<OOC> are people just making up what they believe and calling it fact, and then others are making up what they believe and saying the other facts are wrong?

[quote name='Sephirah Caelum' timestamp='1295908373' post='77990'] Let us get this straight. You mean besides the Ancient Lore, is the AL a myth as well, at least the part Ren's wrote (and this part is ... ?!) ? And that was only exposed after our Memorial Service? So the AL, the part that should be one of the most reliable sources of information about MD, where I should base my questions and discover "secrets" is false?It means that if none of this had happened I would continue to appreciate what is written and think about them and how them happened, while the fossils and otheres that know the facts better remain quiet, silent and dumb. Saying for some questions I ask that the answer is secret while others questions are politely ignored?And while the quest was going on because no one argued the action was wrong act, and remained silent until now? Why did not try to correct the mistake while it was in process? Are you on a pedestal so high that it can not bend and steer the others that are in the wrong way? [/quote] If you didnt know, Mur has said many many times that some of the AL is complete Rubbish, And im sure you also know that he has said storymode was made up by someone who knew less about MD's lore than Mur would have liked. The Continual focus is on things that have happened now, The recent lore that happened to us, Not the things that were made up before MD. And you have lost me, What "Quest" are you refereing to?

Which of the advertisers? I doubt BFH would have said so Mur himself said if we get first, it will be time for prizes,

[quote name='cutler121' timestamp='1295795826' post='77919'] Here is a series of numbers with Murs two numbers as the second and eleventh elements. I will just list the first few in the series and leave the "rules" as an exercise so I don't ruin it.1248 2481 <-- Murs first number48168163 163232646412128225655121 1024 <-- Murs second number2048409681921638327665531310Cutler [/quote] arnt murs Numbers 2481 and 1028? Thusly The series doesnt include 1028 as you have highlighted 1024

[quote name='Rhaegar Targaryen' timestamp='1295779956' post='77905'] The behavior of some of MD's people that are considered extended hand of Mur are really disturbing, in this case, where Leixer claims he and ansouinc are different persons and (from the point of the announcements) never logged in on the same computer, he isn't treated with respect or either with just compassion, but is just buzzed off with people presuming Leixer is either lieing or he is mistaken - in any case, they won't be troubled by him. [/quote] My My, It seems i am obviously at fault. If anyone else have not been effected then something has happened to have been triggered it thinking they are alts. He himself have admitted that previously they would have been counted as alts. Logically Something has happened to make them count as alts, And therefore it would be only their fault. On a side note, If you consider myself a "hand of Mur" then you are severely mistaken. I have no direction, Nor regular communication with Mur like the rest of you, I will make my own mistakes and learn from them.

[quote name='Leixer' timestamp='1295756527' post='77902'] we were able to attack each other last week [/quote] So if there are no other people claming a similar "bug" this will be closed because you just did something to make them alts. Its not like you are different countries and you have said that you did previously use/abuse/logon at the same places the other account, so its not entirely surprising that you have done something to make it an alt.

[quote name='Curiose' timestamp='1295732916' post='77875'] This used to be a seal of six, legend speaker event. However, TGW is no longer active. He originally started this. Fyrd and I are the only remaining people of LS. I do not need people to thank me. What i want is for people to show that they care enough and enjoy story night enough for it to continue. Before it seemed i had to mother people to get things done. Now the issue is having to work on advertise. Before i had to do all the hard work myself. I am upset because i want this to be a community event of which people enjoy. I apologize for not being clear. [/quote] like all things, If the community cares then they will come and do things, you might need to give people a little poke every now and then, But it will survive. If you are shouting at people to do things, then people will be less inclined to do it and help, And if indeed you are forcing it to stay alive, surely that shows that the community doesnt really care? The key problem i see currently is that i have never seen any adverts for it, Previously i attended most of them because it was regular, they announced it frequently and was close to the main thoroughfare.

I would think that because he is from the same country, and same general area it is pretty likely he has somehow got linked. No one else has reported anything akin to this recently, so logically if nothing has changed then you HAVE been caught and linked together. Eitherway, i doubt anyone will change anything if its just you. Since you have openly admitted you did use the same points/were/are alts.

Go into the html tab then in the section where you have typed your infomation. Wherever you want a new line type <br /> and if you want a double new line type <p /> Example: Text Text Text <br /> Text Text Text Comes out as Text Text Text Text Text Text

use the tag [html]<br />[/html] for single new lines and [html]<p />[/html] for a double new line

[quote name='Curiose' timestamp='1295593299' post='77799'] Sorry. I'm kind of like a bug that's been hit by a car on the windshield-- all over the place. I was thinking of having a small box with a list of events and their date to the side of the forum, beneath where the calender is that is to the right of all the threads. I vaguely remember a forum or two having that implemented, unless it's just a personal feature, I don't know, but, by clicking it, you would be able to see all the events with a description of them and such. As for having a new forum section dedicated to it, wouldn't it kind of be another: "Oh, I have to go diving into the forums to find a specific event."? [/quote] Using a Forum - If it was well organised, and someone wanted to keep an eye on that forum then you can have each topic be closed and moved once they have done, meaning that only upcoming topics would be there, this would mean that there is much less chance of two events being schedualed on the same time, And would allow a central place for people to find the topics. Espically if the threads are all laid out in a similar manor "[time][day] - [name]" then they wouldnt even need to look in the topics, i cant imagine many events are on at once so i would only think at max 10 topics, but most of the time there would only be a few ones there Using the Calender - Iv been looking at a calender recent events hook (something that shows the recent events on the front page) and the only one i have found is one that will severly lag the forum up, so will not be installing it Using the calender would allow easy viewing of the events and such, because if you put them in the calender ([url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/index.php?app=calendar&module=calendar&cal_id=2&m=&y="]Lectures, Debates and Meetings[/url]) then you can see it easier at a glance. again it would require the user to look for it, Which i agree with more than having it pop up and such, because then it makes it easier to spam people with events and you have to do some work to advertise.

[quote name='Kyphis the Bard' timestamp='1295554880' post='77782'] And how would you determine who had access to editing this document?I would suggest the best option is to organize with someone who has clickies access to put up and maintain a calender in a public place, such as the GoE or MDP. Its simpler, and doesn't require Mur or the other coders to take time from other projects. [/quote] I agree with this idea, It would be pretty simple to have a clicky that would allow people to add events and such, or one that someone updats based on who sends them pms. I dont really think this is an issue that needs to bother mur or rendril. Because its merely another thing to be "lazy" I personally feel quests and events should be advertised by the person, so that they have to do some extra work. Not have a list where they are all avalible, It gives it a little more reward as you have worked for the people visiting. It doesnt take too much to post on mood panel and contact people. [quote name='Curiose' timestamp='1295585519' post='77795'] I do not think that using the forum calendar would be a good idea for advertising, and therefore, easily stating when something will happen. Of course, it will state the DAY OF when the event will happen, however, how many people actually bother looking at the actual calendar in the forum? My suggestion, would probably be to have a little side panel with: "Upcoming events" which, if clicked, will give a page to the calendar with all the necessary information. But this is stepping into wookie territory, and it all depends on what he thinks on that.Edit:I just looked at the forum lay out, and this could be placed beneath the calendar that is above the "Recently added topics" thingy. [/quote] I have absoletly no idea what you are talking about by "placying it beneath the calendar that is above Recently added topics" The forum works in a specific way which im not entirely sure you are familar of. Please be a little more clear. What do you want placed below the current calender? or a forum section might help? I want suggestions for the forum so you are always welcome to give them, even if they cant be implemented

So basicly you are trying to give someone a position over all archives to distribute Wishpoints, Just like a king... I wouldnt say there is any clear candidate apart from Innocence, Or someone who is trustworthy and most "influential" in the Archives, i would have thought the previous system would have worked better... Considering there is no ruler of archives, nor is there ever likely to be.

I third Dst and Kyphis, I have no clue when story night is, I had thought it was regular like it was before, but from this topic i can see its not.

[quote name='Curiose' timestamp='1295500556' post='77740'] Okay. So what I was thinking, since Rhaegar's idea is a bit more concrete, I still think that having an overall newspaper of which highlights ideas/events/happenings of what is going on in MD is a great way to help with the advertising. My idea would be this:Newspaper:[Content][content][Content][Advertising information][Advertising information]Etc. Stuff like that, basically. The thought is, to have maybe pictures, enticing information that would draw in the people's thoughts. Also, remember: LAYOUTS are also a HUUUUUGE part of how you advertise, and not just the way you say things or what you put on there. Anywho. My suggestion, is possibly send it out like a newsletter... but not like spam. More like... if people are interested, they can see more, almost like a written trailer. Or, what you could do, is on [if you decided to] an 'official' page, have the newsletter in a specific section and have it catalogued with dates and such. Kind of like the AL but more reporterish style. Offtopic: If you decide you are doing an advertising ad, make it short, clean, easy to read, and lastly but most importantly, to the point. I ran some stuff and organized it, and advertised it before on my own in real life, and I learned this stuff pretty quickly. People don't want to read gobs and gobs of information that won't get them the right information that they want to see. Let me know if you need/want any help. : 3 I would be happy to. [/quote] Even from MD, something emailing me every month or so without me clicking a button explicitly asking for it, i would consider it spam. Considering you cant change your email address on MD, i dont think emailing it out would be a great idea. And if you are merely refereing to something ingame, The MDNP died, and no one has tried to pick it back up. If it were to be revived it would need to be smaller.

To be devils advocate shouldnt your continual event be cancelled for the more important one time event. Considering you have picked a time when many people can attend, it makes only sense to use that time for something more imporant such as, what you are refereing to, Renavoids Memorial. In the past such events were previously done on storynight, and it was cancelled for a week. It allowed the next weeks SN to have more planning and such. Isnt it discourteous for you to try and "take" one of the best times in the week for yourself? [b]<note this is merely the other view, i havent really decided my opinion on this yet>[/b]

Oh i didnt know you were that young when he left, Assuming that you were a normal mp4 and not some of the ones who wait there for years. It seems i have conveyed myself wrong, My annoyance is that, he has partaken in some Al which has lead people lately to applaud him or whatnot, Wheras all the much greater work he did before is prettymuch unkown by a large majority. I welcome the momorial, but i disagree with it being momentus, considering he has left before and hopefully will come back to leave again (if you get what i mean) Most wouldnt know he helped found an alliance, I just dislike that you have overblown it as quite a lot of vets have left before, Raven, BigC/Wodin, MRD, Sheops, and there will be many many more.

The forum is not a place for roleplay, Please keep it in the game. Otherwise welcome to the different side of MD
