Thats enough Spoilers Look at the fight log and look what your creatures can do. Its pretty simple if you have a look at those two things. Closed

[quote name='apophys' date='16 February 2010 - 05:09 AM' timestamp='1266296947' post='54583'] This is a major GGG violation and should be treated so. However, I doubt the perpetrator can be found and identified with certainty. [/quote] That is the main problem and the reason i said Redd should just forget it. Even if you can find someone that also got attacked that day, and has a print screen of the attack, and it was the same style of ritual, you still cant prove it was them because you dont know if they attacked you Redd. The only way to prove it would be to see the log, But since that went there would be no way to prove it.

Buying 2 gold coins for 14 silver each.

And the fact that if you do kill the NPC's and Mur uses them for something, you wont be able to attack them again, Which could screw up any new feature mur decides to do with them...

Redd, Honestly it just looks like something happened that wasnt according to your plan, so you want special treatment so you can get yourself back on "the plan" Firstly the exp will not be removed from you By Mur. You will have to accept that just move up a mindpower and forget about it. Secondarily what are you trying to achieve? If you gained personal exp that means that someone lost against you. And if you really wanted to stick to your plan perhaps you should have been more careful. The problem i have with this topic is that you have no idea if someone purposely did this or if it was your fault. And this would effect how you should behave massively. There is nothing you can do or anyone can do to stop something like this, it is perfectly within the rules so i dont see anything wrong with this. You just gained a bit of exp and that wasn't according to your plan. So suddenly you think that they are "out to get you" If you look at all the other MP3 grinders i see none of them complaining so it isn't likely someone targeting everyone... Plans dont always go to plan, but if you cant take it when one little thing goes wrong, i cant see how you will survive the rest of MD...

[quote name='LadyDawn' date='15 February 2010 - 04:44 AM' timestamp='1266209055' post='54496'] When I joined MD, that would be exactly 60 days ago (yes, a jungling in this world) I have seen a great game offering different sort of challenges to overcome and such, meet some realy nice people etc. It was "fun" in all regards. [/quote] This issue is much older than you mention. This issue has always been here, But perhaps we are just more open to fight about it now. There has always been abuse, cheating, scamming and exceedingly bad rudeness. I would say that if a player just played MD and didnt read the forums they could probably blissfully ignore most of the abuse. I agree that today we have reached a pinnacle of what is happening. But with the fact that some people cant forget issues and move one (ref [quote]As for Prince Rhaelgar.../sarcasm on well, congrats to those of you who picked him out for your crusade, you seemed to study history of crusades well and know how to pick your victim. /sarcasm off[/quote] one example in this very thread) then this community will fail. Becuase we are small we cannot hold grudges against people. We need to learn to accept what people have done and move on. If this doesnt change, and change soon then Magicduel will fail. Less and Less people will come and more and more will leave. Before i recommended a lot of friends to play, Nowadays i have explicitly told them not to play again. This is not something one person can do now. It is something that everyone needs to think about and do something about in how they play.

Whoever did this is likely a similar temperment to Fenrir and really hates MP3 stat grinders for whatever reason But the truth is you wont be able to find out who did it, Nor will you be able to remove that exp unless you can get a wp. So just forget it and move on. As Burns said its not a challenge to sit in GGG farming angien wins, Thats just pointless grinding like you said "stat grinding isn't worth it" Its win grinding same principle, same amount of unworthiness

[quote name='aaront222' date='14 February 2010 - 12:41 PM' timestamp='1266151290' post='54465'] Hint- If you are 20 or older you have almost zero chances of completing this quest based upon the source of the proper knowledge to complete this quest. Even 16 year olds will usually lack proper knowledge. [/quote] Sounds Like a hideous Quest, I know only a few that would satify the first critira, and even fewer who would satify the second, and out of them even less actually quest If you make a quest where only a few will be able to answer then its a pointless really bad quest. Perhaps if you changed it so it would be more open ended so you could look at their reasons for their answers and not just the answer... So, Here is my opinion of your quest. It Stinks. Make a that EVERYONE will be able to do, then you might be able to get a few of the real Questers in the game to do it.

If this is quest related then we cannot tell you, and If it is then i will close this topic as it would be a spoiler.

Are you Suggesting MD should have ... Colour? Such as the scenes and whatnot?

Have a Great Birthday Rhaegar!

[quote name='cutler121' date='07 February 2010 - 08:48 AM' timestamp='1265532486' post='53963'] We can also easily provide access to the Golemus Astral Plane which can be used to set up and run interactive quests. No need to deal with the troublesome entrance/exit into GG. Currently only GG citizens and people in GG Alliances can enter the GG astral plane, but if and when a quest starts it will be possible to open the gates to those participating.Cutler [/quote] Will all these Quests use the Astral Plane? Because i prefer running around with tons of clickables and such rather than standing at GOE place getting beat up...

[quote][quote]And on topic: I highly doubt that someone would quit the game because they can't beat the guards at MP3, especially if they know that they'll probably be able to do it later.[/quote] <----- Whoa! Wrong! Heaps of lpayers left the game on MP3, remember when mur made the account cleanup? If i remember correct, you have to have... 6 months of not logging in, and Unconfirmed mail, whith this, he deleted a five (i think, if i rmbr correct, it mb was 6) digit number of accounts.[/quote] <----- Whoa! Wrong! Firstly, you have quoted and mentioned two entirely different issues. The issue you quoted was that most people who cannot access Loreroot would not likely leave. From my experiance what he said is entirely true. It is relatively hard to get into Loreroot if you dont pay attention, But since there is so much help i dont see why people would leave for that one thing. You are talking about how lots of MP3's Generally leave. This is another entirely different issue. I would say most MP3's leave because they dont understand the game, dont like the battle system or just cant work out what you are meant to do. So Please dont confuse two entirely different issues and pretending to be the "smart one" like you said you wouldnt.

Row 8 Column 15 Windy, you picked one already taken!

This sounds a little fishy to me, Sounds like you cant buy angiens on your main, so you are getting someone to buy them onto an alt, when you will then sell them once they have age...

[quote name='gremlin' date='10 February 2010 - 05:39 AM' timestamp='1265780379' post='54205'] Chewy yes you can do that IF the creature is donated for the creature auction and as I said before IF anyone donates items or creatures please send a PM with the CTC/item. [/quote] No i didnt ask that, Nor would i want to donate something to the auction where the rewards of that crit are going to somewhere i dont want it to go. When i sell something on ebay, do i give it to them, they sell it and give me some money for selling it? No they sell it for me, and then the winner pays me, then i pay ebay a commision. For that is an auction, i dont see why this wasnt done initially, since previously it was just one person who got the creatures for free. This is what i asked intially, Will i be able to do that, because i wont want to be donating something that i dont agree with. I want to know if the auction to work like an auction...

[quote name='Burns' date='10 February 2010 - 06:11 PM' timestamp='1265825477' post='54231'] Not everything, Fenrir... Chewie deals with what moderators do in their moderator-positions for 'anything anybody says', you have a variety of moderators on the forum, and LH-slaves in game, and in case you have a problem with one of us, there's always Grido to talk to... so i think there's not a lot of things people could say that goes to Chewie, really :/ [/quote] Hmm, is that my job eh? iv been wanting to know what i actually do. Many things that if you are unsure about could go to any moderator, But in Fenrir's case he can speak directly with me as we have sorted out. Most of the advantages of going to another mod first is that i actually work (shock! horror!) wheras most of the other mods have internet access a lot more than me (apprently MD ruins my workrate!, hence they blocked it) But since im just another mod, im just another person you could ask. Really anything can go to me that would go to a normal mod, I just might take a little longer to answer.

@Fenrir, When i personally asked Mur last time, he made it clear. If you have a problem with something a mod does, talk to me, If you have a problem with something i do, Talk to the mods who can then take it further if they want. [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='10 February 2010 - 07:11 AM' timestamp='1265785898' post='54208'] Players can't provoke Mods, but Mods can provoke players? I call Double Standards. [/quote] Things like this get me really angry. If you have a problem with something a mod has said. Tell me or someone else then and there. Dont just wait until they do something to you so you have "something on them" All it says to me now that you didnt care about it then, but have trawled back to find something to blame. If she has done something bad, then why did you not tell me about it before? It just says to me that you are just pulling up old questionable things to blame her. [quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='10 February 2010 - 07:11 AM' timestamp='1265785898' post='54208'] I thought that the Rep System was supposed to be anonymous? Guess not. Yes, I neg repped her. For every time she abused her powers. [/quote] Nop, I'v never said its anonymous Nor do i know where you got this from, since you have previously asked me to tell you who -repped you (which i didnt do). It takes a lot of work to look at who you have neg repped. And only i and Akasha can do it. So i take that as pretty anonymous since i only look when someone is accused of rep spamming. And no please dont lie Fenrir, i spent a good amount of time looking for the posts that she "abused" her power. Most of them are just lots of recent posts. No abuse there. [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/5398-who-is-right/"]example[/url] - As you can see, she is abusing her power a lot here Overall Fenrir, if you are really that annoyed about your "unfair warn" we can change your it to "rep spamming" since i did previously say the next person to do it will get a 1 week ban (which to you humorously posted there is no point as only "pathetic losers who dont deserve to use the forum" rep spam) But i decided that since you were already warned and your rep spamming was the result of something you have already been warned for, i was going to ignore it. To Everyone: If you have something wrong with a post or something a mod does. Come to me when you find said post/action. I can then deal with it. If you have something wrong with what iv done, Go to a mod, Since they then can talk to me or take it to Mur. I will say what else i want to say in a pm to you fenrir.

If someone complains about someones post or a mood status i would remove it. Then it if was continually posted i would then issue a warn. This is what happened. Dst just skipped the middle man and did it herself, not without telling the mods about it, With her evidence of what she did. So there is nothing wrong there. And fyi Fenrir if you think that is childish, what about rep spamming dst?, That is definitely childish. The increased warn level is fair. And i agree with it.

As shadow said, you can literally just replace my above post with "organisers" I cant see what needs to be organised that would take so much work and again your words are vauge. Set a definite value, and see how the community likes it. and a question, Will i be able to ask you to "auction" a crit, then once it has been sold, conduct the deal with the winner myself?

[quote name='gremlin' date='08 February 2010 - 06:35 PM' timestamp='1265654136' post='54093'] ok here are my plans jsut to clear everything up for everyone. during the bidding I will accept creatures and coins which in turn will be used to give out as rewards for those that manage to obtain an award, 25% of the coin income will be givin to the people volunteering, 25% will be givin to those that help organize the event, I [u][b]MAY[/b] [/u]keep 25% for myself and the other 25% will be givin out as rewards as well same principal with the items. Now as far as creatures goes as far as awards are concerned I am using those for the same ordeal as with the coins I am currently working out a [u][b]FAIR[/b][/u] price range for all the creatures that are available thus far and I [u][b]MAY[/b][/u] keep [u][b]CERTAIN[/b][/u] creatures for my collective purposes and not for making profits off of. Dont get me wrong it would be nice to make a profit for myself but I feel that MOST if not ALL the profits should go to those who abtain the awards and help make this event possable. [/quote] As watcher has said you have cleared NOTHING up. I really like you Gremlin, [b]But to me this is just another scam[/b]. This is not for the community, This is for you. If you want to run it for the community. Ask people to tell you what they want to sell, you sell their item/creature, and then charge them one silver per gold they get. That seems much fairer than keeping 25%! You sell the crit then they can trade themselves between the person who won, That means there is no age loss. Prettymuch people arnt donating for the auction, [b]They are donating into your and others pockets.[/b] Do it this way if you want, dont worry, you will recieve the same outrage when people relise that you are keeping all the crits and money you want. Prove to us you arnt doing this for money, dont take any or a fraction of the cost, because currently, i[b]ts one of the biggest scams that the community is just letting happen.[/b]

[quote name='Assurancetourix' date='08 February 2010 - 01:06 PM' timestamp='1265634400' post='54077'] MPirate, I don't know if it makes you feel any better... but you're not alone... I'm stuck too... for a long time now... I'm sure Mur is working on the problem... [/quote] Heh, i wouldnt be sure that he is working on it. There are some crucial problems with it currently. And he has been "working" on it for AGES

As said before, if you take a cut of the profit, then people will complain about what you will do with it, previously, it was not accounced that any of the crits used for payment were going directly to him, and however good intentioned it was, Everyone didnt like the profiteering of the event. You are going to have to work out either selling other peoples creatures so you dont get ANY money or a definate plan of what they will be spent on. I like the idea that several people put forward their quests to be sponsored by the auction, and then all the money will go into the prizes (hopefully) of that quest. It will mean there is no profit from you doing the auction.

So how do you tax trades? unless you revamp the system, how would you make people pay these taxes? unless you work it from every X coins traded you have to pay some, it wont work since how does the system know every time you "trade"?
