[quote name='I am Bored' date='05 December 2009 - 01:07 AM' timestamp='1259975271' post='49166'] if you still need help i am available. [/quote] Suddenly a reward is mentioned, and people want to help

[quote name='I am Bored' date='04 December 2009 - 10:01 PM' timestamp='1259964089' post='49153'] wait we need a lowest stats award! because currently i have negative stats from having way to many losses, but spells, and equiptment shouldn't count. [/quote] when will the voting start? and who do we "vote" to? Generally who is organising this?

Its quite intresting how many people have just ticked 4 per year and allow alts just to get more wishpoints if i look at my accounts if my alts could get them i would have... 30+ wishpoints Now that would screw the system up slightly.

[quote name='Burns' date='04 December 2009 - 07:34 AM' timestamp='1259912074' post='49074'] this looks like you wanted a neverending rewards source like spell-docs so you can give people a reward for all kinds of bs, like... 'oh, you wrote a nice ally-page, have a cook... eh... spell', 'you recruited 3 new members, here's your spell'... [/quote] Im going to be cynical and agree with Burns It seems like you just want more spells when you can get spells easily Mur gives Kings wishpoints Wishpoints get given out for rewards or to reward people they spend the wishpoints any way they like which can get them spells This works fine, so why should alliances be able to give out spells? to me this who idea sounds like you just want more spells and dont want to work for them The only flaw in the link is that you need to work for spells, Which is someone that if you were in an alliance who could give them, wouldnt necessarily be the case. My main question is, whats wrong with the current spell distrobution? you get what you work for, So some will work for it and get spells and some wont.

Closed. Im right.

[/quote] Damn, so you actually have to read posts? Iv been getting it wrong all this time! [quote name='Yoshi' date='03 December 2009 - 12:16 PM' timestamp='1259842592' post='49021'] Uh... wouldn't best Knight of the Bell/CoE/seeker of enlightenment be highly similar to that of best Guardian of Bob? And best Clown would be tailored to one person I think... [/quote] I think we need a "Best Chewett" award [quote name='Gargant' date='03 December 2009 - 12:37 PM' timestamp='1259843839' post='49027'] How about best progressor, i.e. the person who has made the mos progress over the last year, it can be quite an open category as it's open to interpretation. Some people may see progression as combat progression others as RP, it doesn't matter. Either way I think it'd be a good category. Garg. [/quote] It seems a little too open for my liking, i dont think there will be enought definition to get a clear winner, and then people will just need to ask for people to vote for them, and they will win

[quote name='Yoshi' date='03 December 2009 - 01:55 PM' timestamp='1259848550' post='49032'] I actually like the idea of this creature. It's not like its 4 wp's per creature, it would be 1 per unique creature and 3 to unlock upgrading tiers (One time use). [/quote] Actually he was proposing that the creature would cost 4 wishpoints. and not just one and have used 3.

[quote name='Observer' date='02 December 2009 - 09:54 PM' timestamp='1259790883' post='48978'] If you want chewy, we can add a category "Best veteran (age 700+)"But I'm afraid mur would wipe the floor with you... [/quote] i just feel that most annoying player and worst alt whatever are awards specifically designed for them, which seems a little counter productive to the whole award process, but it seems no one else thinks that so ignore me

[quote name='Udgard' date='03 December 2009 - 06:11 AM' timestamp='1259820665' post='49002'] The creature is actually designed to be "stronger" when the enemy is strong, and weaker when facing weaker enemies. Just like how an elemental/water daimon is very strong against high VE enemies and weak otherwise. It's true though, that the problem is on setting the limit of the strength. Life steal has a 20% cap now (used to be 20 something IIRC), the strength adjustment I'm referring to is mostly similar to setting this % cap. - The creature will be untradable. (or at least, that's the plan. No CTC for the craeture) - 1 WP is required to recruit the creature, and 3 WP to upgrade it to the max. Subsequent creatures only need 1 WP to recruit, but upgrading it no longer takes a WP. The 3 Wp is just to unlock the upgrading option and is shared across all creatures of that player. - A large fraction of the creature's strength is based on the enemy's strength (%based just like lifesteal), and strength adjustments will mostly affect the %cap (although there are some non-% abilities as well). [/quote] So this is a creature you have made? If so perhaps you should tell us more about it before we decide, you are telling us pieces of infomation and to me it seems an overpowered creature already.

I find it hilarously funny that everyone agreeing is on the border of the award so they can get a prize and i have issues with the worst alt and most annoying player, as its too specific i believe... But if everyone else is ok, meh

[quote name='Akasha' date='02 December 2009 - 08:15 PM' timestamp='1259784909' post='48956'] Who can update and approve the articles- site managers (alphabetical, how i find them in the admin interface ) : Me , Chew, Inno , Mur, Rendril, Tarquinus, [/quote] And im taking backups of the site every month so we have copies should the worst happen.

[quote name='Malaikat Maut' date='02 December 2009 - 06:35 PM' timestamp='1259778906' post='48934'] I have 3 with little over 100 active days, and I haven't completed the Broken Pattern Puzzle. [/quote] [quote name='dst' date='02 December 2009 - 06:49 PM' timestamp='1259779775' post='48940'] @Malaikat Maut: and I have 24 with almost 600 active days. So my ratio is better. But that is not the point. If I am not mistaken you got the WPs by solving essay related quests. Few people actually do that. Cause imo they suck big time. So you are one of the lucky ones that do what they love: writing essays. But for others, to get just 1 WP is really tough. So 4 WPs for a crit is really too much. Sometimes you need to work maybe 1 or 2 months to get just 1. And there is the other issue:if the stakes are high enough WPs might be trade/sold/etc. I don't want to see that. [/quote] 1 wish point with 700+ active days! i win!

Iv just sent the list of anything i think should be removed based on the criteria he gave he can then decide and add them up

To be fair Garg, you are pretty busy and i dont think you will have time to run the archivests, What are you doing for the archivists at the moment? The newspaper is behind most months, and Grido is doing a lot of work on that, So im not entirely sure where you will find the time to run the archivests and the paper. I think one of the younger members of the archivests should have a chance.

[quote name='Udgard' date='02 December 2009 - 05:11 PM' timestamp='1259773899' post='48915'] For consideration, we already have a creature that costs somewhere near 4 WP, the wind dragon. Obtaining one requires the sacrifice of a GG drachorn, which some people will gladly trade one or two WP for one egg, plus doing some quests that could be viewed as a 1 WP quest. So we already have a creature theoretically near that cost, but in reality getting winds doesn't involve any WP at all. What would you think of a creature that does cost 4 WP to obtain and max? [/quote] Windy is theoritcally near that cost, but its not really, since it can be obtained with none. so really although its the most expensive creature, its not worth 4 WP, you just need to trade around for a GG then do a quest

[quote name='Observer' date='01 December 2009 - 07:45 PM' timestamp='1259696749' post='48854'] Wait... Wouldn't all those that are marked spam etc. just be removed? So what exactly is the point in checking again? Mur'll have final say on rather it really is unapproved of anyway. [/quote] well if you have approved, unapproved, flagged then mur can check the ones that have been flagged. That will allow mur to check what is being flagged also an optional extra could be "approved by x" so that he can then pm the respective person if he needs to tell them something

Wouldnt it be easier to generate a page from the database, add a field as "approved" and just limit it by 10, then unapprove it when someone changes it, it would make it easier if you wanted to check it again

[quote name='cutler121' date='01 December 2009 - 06:37 PM' timestamp='1259692636' post='48833'] Sure I will help with some. Probably at least a thousand of those are my script logs for putting together the last two MDscripted quests. Does it make a log ever time there is an error? If so maybe more like 5000 of those logs are mine. Cutler [/quote] He is refering to the public logs, The L on people that you can comment on...

I will gladly help

[quote name='Tipu' date='01 December 2009 - 01:33 PM' timestamp='1259674439' post='48811'] 1)Ok speaking of Advertisements i was clicking all those Free credits and i was laughing to myself hahaha. Mur u r just wasting ur money on making a golden member on those online list hehehe. Believe me iam playing MMORPG for more than 10 Years. And we don't get attracted by those Golden color on ur MD ADD hehehe. All we see is A-the Ranking B-INs and OUTs figure c-And a those description of the game. [/quote] that is the generic add used with actual adverstising, and if it looks pretty, thats a bonus [quote name='Tipu' date='01 December 2009 - 01:33 PM' timestamp='1259674439' post='48811'] 3)Always remember a true Online mmog player will Go through the game forums so i think if we put some ADDS in famous game forums we might find those unique hardcore gamer. I can give some like " Tribals wars" " Atlantis mmog" " battle dawn" " Immperial Online " and many more just try to find RPG which is played by most people and try to get a space in their forums, which will bring many player in. [/quote] Tribal wars? a game for the brain dead, little stragity, merely whoever pays more, personally i dont think that its the type of game "great" people will come from, i played it for a while, but the futility wore me down. [quote name='Tipu' date='01 December 2009 - 01:33 PM' timestamp='1259674439' post='48811'] 4)Most important is Google : Yes thats correct Plz put ur adds in Google. There is way to get ur Wb address in the first place by just changing the Title and description. Plz consult a Google specialist. I mean lets say i type " FREE RPG ONLINE game " and when i click search ur web side should atleast fall in the Top 10 List. Actually we can do this if we understood how the google search engine works. [/quote] Thats called SEO(Search Engine Optimisation) and Mur has and is doing that as he goes on (he works as a web devolper so knows a thing or two) and there are limits on what you can do to make you appear higher up.

[quote name='Kafuuka' date='30 November 2009 - 11:22 PM' timestamp='1259623349' post='48779'] mp3 flaw: what if an mp3 buys or wins a joker? [/quote] Perhaps you should create an alt and see mp3 for yourself, There are not just jokers, iv also seen a nearly fully level dracorn with tokens, an angien and about every Mdshop crit on mp3. [quote name='Udgard' date='01 December 2009 - 04:36 AM' timestamp='1259642177' post='48793'] And I'm over 500 days and weaker than Pip. So it makes two people, and I'm sure there are more "vets" wwho doesn't stat grind everyday (I think chewy is also aroudn the same strength as I do, and a lot older). If time basis comes out, it's forever bye2 combat for us =( [/quote] So im over 700 days and the same strength as Udgard, So if you base strength on age, techincally i should be one of the strongest, The fact is, i cant really kill anyone in mp5. So anything that will stop me attacking weaker people will just make me want to play less. As it is i try and keep my crit vital low so i dont have to fight.

[quote name='North' date='30 November 2009 - 10:20 AM' timestamp='1259576459' post='48752'] But since story mode is essential [/quote] its not essential, Mur has even voiced thoughts of removing it entirely it as it "doesnt fit in with the current md" I think it should be left because there is a LOT to be done about it, and i would prefere many things to be fixed up before the story is done

You do realise that any decent Mp3 non alt can easily get most of those creatures you have named before hitting the exp cap! But i agree that the cap should probably be lowered

[quote name='Grido' date='30 November 2009 - 01:09 PM' timestamp='1259586545' post='48755'] what about attacking in sanctuaries? 7+ heads youcna get attacked, asking for it to be increased? [/quote] I think this is a good idea, since you will get more heads, and it will mean people who are just sitting in the sanctuary it will mean you are attackable much quicker

Here is my opinion on each of the previous rewards Firstly i think these rewards should stay, as they seem Best Back Story Best Role Play Best Personal Papers Best Villain Best Techie Best LHO - seems an ok reward Outstanding Service to MD Rookie of the Year Best Protector Best Protector Best PWR - I think should be removed so we dont just have a best Pwr and we have more larger catagories that would fit into this, like Roleplay, Papers and Back story Best RPC - obviously should be removed Most Addicted, Best Quote- there have been few quotes added, so i feel this should also be removed Best Dojo Staff - There has been no real "SG" movement like the dojo was, it seems to have failed a bit more than the dojo did, due to Shadows lack of time, This is why i think the reward will only bring out people who want to try and win it And finally, Guess who will complain about these rewards Most Annoying, Least Convincing Alts - I do not see these are real rewards, it merely encourages something that i personally dont want to see, alts and annoying people. And also, these rewards are not likely to change over time, which means there will be continual rewards for these people. It was funny seeing people get them, but it seems pointless to have them again. They just seem to mock the other worthwhile rewards So please, Iab and Lib come to defend those "rewards" i can see from your posts you only want to keep them, and i dont think they are real rewards in comparision and therefore should be removed. Why create an award wherin you win all the time? It makes the entire rewards a laugh
