[quote name='Luke27' timestamp='1293753754' post='76423'] Well I guess I can make a map but for personal use I guess. Another question: - Is there any other good places in the maze besides the entrance and the exit? - Is there a hidden something in there? - Is it worth it to make a map of the whole maze? [/quote] That would be a spoiler. Find it our yourself

[quote name='Kafuuka' timestamp='1293716238' post='76360'] @ Awiiya: the second idea might work with some tweaking. I think it wouldn't make sense if there isn't a minimum amount of votes before it checks the rate. There is the possibility of farming no's if you have a large amount of ips available though. [/quote] Give me a vote based on IP's and i shall show any result you want. Any king of voting should be based on similar ideas to kingship, because that removes most influence of alts

[quote name='Laphers' timestamp='1293672205' post='76328'] Perhaps, instead of "Nothing interesting here right now" it could randomly grab one of the hints that currently appear in the triggers box. Once someone inserts something into a clickable it disables the hint and shows the contents of the clickable instead. That would make every clickable contain something that pertains directly to MD and doesn't interfere with clickable use. [/quote] Not entirely sure that a rock should be giving me combat tips

Intresting different viewpoints i suppose. Im just tired of people putting random stuff in the clickables and when you are trying to do a quest where you use clickables and one of the main clickies you want to use is taken for something random, so you have to direct people to the specific clicky entry.

[quote name='Kyphis the Bard' timestamp='1293655035' post='76314'] A-i) "Oh, there is no point training this creature more since that's its level cap, lets train other devastating creatures now." [/quote] They will be merely restricted to creatures that normal people will more likely to have. [quote name='Kyphis the Bard' timestamp='1293655035' post='76314'] A-ii) "Well, I might not be able to get a level 4 Drachorn, but neither can anyone else, so I'll still train mine to level 3 since it is effectively the same." [/quote] Come come, Dont be foolish, You can clearly see that if Drachorns are only got by mp3's whome are alts. there are few/no real mp3's who have attained drachorns in this early age. Also, if they can only train it to a more limited level, they wil be weaker and more easily killed by normal creatures. It makes no difference to competeing alts BUT a large difference to the new mp3's. I TOTALLY diasagree with this point as it is a foolish point. [quote name='Kyphis the Bard' timestamp='1293655035' post='76314'] B) You are restricting ritual diversity, meaning that you are re-introducing the problem you complained about with MP3/4 not knowing how to fight in preparation for the next MP level. "Oh look, water Daimon/Knator/Elemental/Bird/Angien is almost useless like this, so I might as well sacc it and never train one again" [/quote] I disagree with this again. Normal mp3's who train are not able to get angiens, and birds are hard to obtain. If you train normally, mp3's will move on before leveling up too many creatuers, if the limits are put in effectively then a normal mp3 wont be effected

[quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1293645864' post='76301'] You are suggesting automation, but you've made it clear that an automated bump to mp5 is not the best of choices. There are people like you, Zleiphneir, and others that remain at mp4 and are a nuisance to nobody.So then there are two options to make this a human decided thing:1. Have a few people designated with the power to bump people up to mp5.2. Have a vote-like choice either on a player's details or after a battle with the player. Essentially, it will say, "Should this player be mp4/mp3" and if the ratio between yes and no is too high, that person moves up.AwiPS: my personal opinion is that the second would solve many things, especially if the vote came after being attacked by a player. This would allow people who never attack to stay at mp4 forever, since nobody could vote them yes or no. [/quote] I disagree with purposely pushing people up levels if they dont want to. If you limit certain things to the higher Mindpowers and make it so that you are more tempted towards mp5 then it would cause less frustration. Burns solution would be very good i feel.

[quote name='Asterdai' timestamp='1293640156' post='76291'] thanks for moving the topic. i didnt even know this section existed! 1000 dark, come on shadow whats the story behind That!? seriously... [/quote] If i remember correctly it came out of Murs auction.

I like the idea, sounds like a really good one. Anything to stop people massing crits at mp3 and slaughtering real mp3s

2 silver for each crit

1 - Finish my Robot I really want to finish my Autonomous Robot Why yes - it would be an achievement to finally fulfill it, Why no - i would probably become bored of it quickly, and i have had fun making it

[quote name='Kay Ingild' timestamp='1293508032' post='76172'] Could I ask roughly how many people have such editing rights? And could they be persuaded to "refresh" the items a bit more often?When I was a newly-joined player I tried to explore as much as I could, and discovering these "clickable" bits of the landscape was always exciting, until I realized that most of them were "Unusable". Not even flavour text Seemed like a wasted opportunity. [/quote] At a guess i would say between 20 and 30 people have access to editing them. But just writing random rubbish on them is discouraged because it makes it harder for when someone makes a quest or useful interface with them. As to refreshing them, im sure if you contacted someone with clicky editing NICELY they would refresh whatever you asked.

Forum rules have been clarified since there are many people who seem to not know this You CANNOT have multiple accounts on the forum. If you currently do pm me immediately. Any person using multiple accounts will have their warning level increased if they are found after a period of 2 (two) weeks. See above to see the clarified rule, it is in bold.

[quote name='Kay Ingild' timestamp='1293426640' post='76112'] "As with all clickables, it needs to be resubmitted every 14 days"Is that why so many items all over the MD world are usually "Unusable item - nothing interesting here right now"? [/quote] yes, people who have clickable editing rights can addd things to those objects to make them do different things.

[quote name='Asterdai' timestamp='1293360429' post='76069'] i live in the hope that i am in the border range of values considered as "inacvtive" or "unneligible" then, and do not have much hope for next year. And i feel i shouldnt be penalised in such a way. [/quote] The presents are free, you are not "missing" out on the game. Mur has this year decided that there should be only to people who have logged in enough. Dont be annoyed that you didnt get something, you had equal chance with everyone else. Be glad that mur even decided that they should be given out. This attitude really pisses me off because people consider them to be their right. If you didnt get them, shame. Perhaps next year.

Mur say the exact amount. If you do not meet the threshold values he has determined for an active player, then sadly you wont be getting your gifts this year. It does not have anything to do with alts. As Mur said at the time, it is not for you being active, but remembering about MD every day. Active days DOES NOT show activity, But more you remembered MD to log in and such.

Merry Christmas one and all.

[2010-12-24 23:25:09 - Stage 10] Chirstmas GIFTS...or not..or are they? hey who got the windy? Well, it seems this is already a well established Christmas Tradition in MD that for every single time with this occasion there was some sort of problem with the gifts, one way or the other. So don't get scared, its how things seem to work around here, regardless of me or others trying to make them right So, you should know that gifts were released a bit earlier, without the NEW restrictions. Today they were applied and you should know that now there is a activity requirement in order to get the gifts. IT IS NOT A BUG. Check you activity rating (total number of active days over max of your accoun, in profile page). This was done unannounced, in order to prevent alts from "harvesting" xmas gifts. You know i don't like such things. The only reason multiple accounts are allowed is to allow multiple characters that actually play different roles and personalities. Any alt abuse to gain advantages in such desperate and rude way will cause unpleasant actions towards your main.

Its not a bug! it even says so You do not meet the requirements for receiving a gift this year. There is no bug. You dont meet whatever requirements there are.
