A lot of moralism in your post, Sasha, when the action of resource depletion is simply another part of the game. I find it hard to see how right and wrong plays a part in this issue (at least here on the forum).
That said, I look forward to seeing some creative "punishments" enacted.

Mur, resent the doc I had organizing the email thread with Eagle Eye.
The awards for this quest were listed as follows, but I think some of the descriptions need to be fixed. I'm especially unsure of what AmberRune's book is titled/about... Perhaps the winners could chime in with their IDs and if anything needs to be fixed with their book's title/description.[spoiler]
- Lashtal (ID: TODO) - Unnamed book
- Description: A book with black letter covers. Has 153 blank white pages.
- AmberRune (ID: 202358) - Tracing spells guidebook by Golemus hunters on Loreroot heads
- Description: A book full of practical solutions on how to track Lorerootian troublemakers and spies. Has a cold and contemptuous tone in its narration. The book has hard covers and is in very good shape. Contains sketches.
- Eara Meraia (ID: TODO) - Cult of the Damned
- Description: A book about various magic rituals and dark contemplations on the meaning of life. Dusty and old with black covers.
- Soothing Sands (ID: TODO) - Loreroot Flora
- Description: A book about various plants found in Loreroot with their uses and effects. Green covers with wreathe decorations.
- TheRichMerchant (ID: TODO) - Of Knights and Voyeurs
- Description: A book about various events that happened in the Marind Bell streets and its parks. Be careful, voyeur section has a few sticky pages. Book covers missing.

I'll insert an s after my offer as if I'm still a bit confused by the format, and then when it comes time to pay up I'll say the pipe means "or" and give you the second silver amount but not the first.
But really, I don't think this is something that needs to be standardized. Leads to more confusion, not less.

I like the general concept, but if I was, say, the King of ______, I might refuse to ratify this law, and perhaps even offer asylum to assassins in exchange for their future services. It's therefore important that a treaty precedes the implementation of such a role.

Phantasm, I'm not sure why I'd be on your black list, but could you at least make the list public? Otherwise it seems like your just playing games and cluttering the forum in the process.

If you're on this list you need to fill out the form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XPZYFMI2S9srxTrsZA3g9C5KAlBcnry46d9tTI1fe4o/viewform). Exception being if you've given your address to Mur already (but if that's the case, please shoot me a PM to let me know that's been arranged).
Two things.
1. Your address will be shared with myself (Ivorak), Mur, and your granting/confirming authorities (one of these players will be sending you your title after they've both signed it). You can see who these players are here: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/15883-title-docs-lot-1/.
2. If your mail needs your name with it to reach you, please include that in the address section of the form.
Thanks!

Kyphis got me, so we're even. :P

If social issues cannot be resolved by social means (and that doesn't just mean asking nicely, blacklists and player inflicted punishments are just as welcome in my book), there's another option if you don't want your quest tampered with: design your quest so that it can't be tampered with. Quite simple, though this rules out most races and such. Oh well.
If using teleport spells on someone involved in a quest is outlawed, I'm done here. I say this as someone who doesn't have any teleport spells. Interactions are at the heart of MD and I don't think they need to be consensual if they are intentionally enabled by code. "Intentionally" because bug abuses are another matter and "enabled by code" because RP Reality Requirements and more importantly the rules against obscene language are necessarily governed by laws instead of mechanics. But we allow for emergence, because that's more or less the point of unscripted interaction.
To clarify, some examples:
I. Got a knife? Feel free to stab someone in the back. The only consequences you have to worry about are what other players do in return. Upset about being dead? Find a way to get revived. And better yet, get revenge. Or maybe you just want justice? Get your land leader to pass laws regarding killings and use land funds to secure means to enforce these laws. Seek treaties with other lands and groups to strengthen these deterrents.II. Want to prevent resource depletion. Post an armed guard.
III. Afraid someone's gonna mess with your quest? Silvertongue them repeatedly for the duration. Or pay someone else to distract them. Or hold a signup for your event in advance, so you can message the participants the start time privately and hold the event in secret. Or plan the event for when they're usually offline.
If you start to bifurcate the realm based upon the idea that interference is bad, then we might as well all have an instance of MD to ourselves. And that would be lame. A singleplayer PvP, wat?
Addendums:
I. I'm afraid my examples aren't too great, but you've got me riled.
II. I think the divide here might be differences of thought about roleplaying. I consider myself a roleplayer, but I rely upon ideas and mechanics, rather than make believe. You should too. It would make me happy. -
I edited the names in the first post with a strike through for those who have responded. Everyone else, please do. (If you've sent it directly to Mur, that's fine, but a post here saying that's what you've done would make my job easier.)
-
I added a page to the wiki about Rainbow Candies and listed the effects of some of the candies.
Good work, Rophs! I added a brief intro and tagged it with the resources category. I made a list of all the resources at http://magicduel.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Resources, if you click a link for which there is no page it will prompt you to create one. Zyrxae's Resources of the Realm spreadsheet is a good starting point https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhfiqLPs3vohdGxwNURkN2dqVzIxZjNUOEZaVUJyWXc#gid=1
If I have the time Saturday, thinking about sitting Ivorak down somewhere in MD while I edit the wiki. Anyone want to join me? -

I don't use the wiki much because it rarely contains the information I'm looking for. And it's not easy to browse.
I want to (and as an Archivist, really should) edit the wiki more, but I can't get past my thoughts that Wikia has taken MediaWiki and crippled it by removing or hiding many of its features. For instance, why does only two results?
Okay, so Wikia's MediaWiki installation is a bit quirky but it's not as crippled as I thought. Those links on http://magicduel.wikia.com/wiki/Special:AllPages are to index pages! And http://magicduel.wikia.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?days=365&limit=500 will give you all the changes in the past year. Not many, are there?
Let's change that. -
Actually, I would agree with "Throughout time past, even with the promise of fame and status, his dedication did not waver."
Non-essential clauses should always be set apart with a pair of commas. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_clause#English_punctuation.
-
I think he's been judge for a while, will try to confirm.
Okay, so how about a final call for fixes? I'm gonna go through the list (https://titanpad.com/A2GfPvEanN) a few hours and put it in order for Mur.
-
Didnt Mur want a title freeze? as in no more added?
Not that I'm aware of, unless you're talking about the awarding of new titles. This first round is intended to go out to people who had corresponding tags prior to the announcement of title docs, but I think everyone on that list meets that requirement. If not, let me know.
-
Thanks, added Eagle Eye. There's just the one judge, right?
Expiration Times - Various Items
in Questions and Answers
Posted
Perhaps you could add what happens when each item expires.
Are there other items that expire besides those listed here? Am I correct in my recollection that memory stones expire?
