There is a clear issue with prisonguarddesk because the perspective makes the door to the new area linked with a wrong older area. I think we can fix that by moving the scene arrow.
I am not sure i follow.. the exit door is in a room that is not really a room, the door is visible from the corridor, so when you click the left arror in your first screen , you should go to the corridor (screen below). So the door in screen 2, is NOT taking you to the prison guard desk, that room is inside the prison, not outside. Both scenes in the screens you presented are on the same side of the door... makes more sense?
Its not very clear if in your map, this is so or you put the prison guard desk scene on the other side of the door. -
🤩Its an escape plan!

Yes because the map is not final, does not contain all the exists, and is nothing intricate that can't be easily replicated with a few consecutive days. I will use it later as a base to do the final one, that will be visible already when entering this realm ...so it will be very public anyway

Welcome back

at the time of creating md, 20 years ago .. creating apps was not in my skill set. Even now, i specialize on web apps, so even if someone could lets say transfer the complexity of md into some sort of huge app, i would not be able to maintain it and develop it...so there is no hope in this direction.
Also, creating an app would pretty much mean to simplify MD experience overall, and it will end up to something similar if not identical to the current mobile interface, that is usable as a phone app btw, try it.
Its not because we dont have an app, that md is so empty, but because generations change, marketing changes, audiences change, everyone adapts to profit. I did not build md to do that, and, as i see it slowly but steadily dies out, i can only continue to do what i can do, for those that are still here and appreciate the efforts.
Indeed there are lots of potential players out there , especially from the types Sir Blut mentioned, that would absolutely love md, but i suck terribly at advertising. If you put a 10y old to do advertising, he will do it better than i would. I do what i do best, and i am good at what i do, but what i can not do, i stopped struggling. Anyone willing to help in this direction, you are welcome. -
the wires of Eggdar...
current abilities, online player awareness, scene vision.
Currently suitable for community events, organizing riddles, some quests.
It is not aware of md history, or any secrets. It can not move..yet..
It does have memory, so be careful what you test on it, it might remember you in unfavorable ways... consider one day you might need to pass it during a quest or something ..play nice with Eggy

This .."case" , was posted after i already decided on this matter, a day earlier. I see no names where used, so i assume its because of waiting for Aia's call on this.
Announced or not, i believe justice has been served.
I did not see him as a tyrant of any sort, i guess he changed dramatically since i las updated my view on the subject.. indeed my mistake.

here are my plans for recipes for a next depth of items.
The 'ingredients' are based on the most abundant items in the realm, sign that their use is either missing or not balanced.
Creating these items will consume existing items, and create more complex and functional items, or precursors to even more complex items.
I hope to be able to slowly create a path from resource, to more advanced items, and the most advanced items to be consumables requiring several levels of processing, with limited use but extreme power.
Your feedback is welcome and appreciated.
Functionality and actual mixing amounts are still open to debate.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid getting stuck in where to place the combiners and mixers for these items, i decided to create a central location for all this mixing. I don't have a place set yet, suggestions are welcome. Basically all mixing of next depth item such as these, will be do-able in one place. The next level after this (complexity 6-7), will be done in an other place, not the same.

ah..right .. no that flash thing is long time obsolete.. so i guess its been years since anyone used it.. so in a way, problem solved? :))) almost
-
oh and.. I don't like the title "Love, appreciation and support!" .. makes this sound about me, and that would void its effect. Don't worry, i get all the appreciation i need if such a thing gets to happen. Lets change it along the 'reversed carnival' idea.
-
that could work .. Christmas time sounds a bit better than md birthday in terms of free time..or not? Planning it for later is good because gives everyone time to decide.
maybe i could prepare some signup thing, so we are sure we can count on a number of people.
Its funny if you think of it, as if the person is the mask for the player character, not the other way around. We should find a way to present it as such , like a reversed masked carnival party.. not sure if i am clear enough, i'm very tired rn.

check the screenshot, its so funny.. It was supposed to know just what was written in the book (both!) and yet it gives a nice answer about something unrelated..that fits because obviously both the book and md have a coherent thought behind them, that fit in certain aspects.
Let me know what you think

Thank you for the kind words
Its certainly something when someone goes from 20 to 40 while still loyal and present in a community. We are like completely different people at those ages.
I dont know how a get together could function, since everyone is from a different country... you mean like discord, or zoom or such?

After seeing what came out with the AI for my book,
(btw.. that is shocking...i couldn't be more amazed really..it manages to reach areas of the logic in the book that i didnt write yet , but because they make sense, the AI connects them and reveals new things that are even novelty for myself as the author of that text)
I decided that A25 docs could be made INTERACTIVE, meaning that you would explain in your own basic words what quest you want to achive, and the AI would research what tools to use, what code to write, what path to follow etc... imagine that.
Its years of data gathered, and all these need to be formatted in a certain way. I am talking about all the content on the A25 docs forum section (most of you dont have access to that, but you will if you will participate in this).
I need help formatting these, basically a lot of copy paste work, with some editing where needed. Some comments need to be rephrased, or at least extracted and put in the correct context.
This is a big project, but i am 100% sure i can do my part with the AI and code, but i am also sure i can not handle and readh that much text , and i need help.
Anyone interested?

DISCLAIMER
Many of the records in this archive are ancient, some of the concepts presented here i perfected, fine-tuned over the years, others are not even things i agree with. I kept the views of who wrote the posts as they where, as they are valuable research.
Many things found in the archvies are common knowledge in MD now, but please keep in mind that at the time of their writing, these where secrets.
These archives are a journey into the past.

The Kelle'tha Order archives have been locked ages ago, with some posts dating back 15+years ago.
They represent bits and pieces of debates and first-hand information , from the young ages of MagicDuel, many things inspired from documents prepared before MD, as part of its design concepts.
Its been so many years since these archive closed, and i decided its a pity to lose all this valuable information, so i am unlocking access to these records, for research purposes, but also historic purposes. I moved all records from the "Kelle'tha Records" section to one of the locked sections, many had duplicates, posted about same time (not sure why). I wanted to preserve the records as they where so i did not combine the informations under same topics, instead you will find them all as they where, including the duplicate (or almost duplicate) records.
Each subforum is protected by a password, and you will be able to reach that password through a quest created by Aelis (under my supervision).
This access is about knowledge , and so will be the path leading to it.
Obtaining the password to all subforums does not entitle you to any rights regarding the Kelle'tha in-game Guild, currently locked. If this guild will ever be unlocked and usable, and in what way, it will depend mostly on overall MD activity, and the opinion of former order members, if they are reachable.
I enabled posting and replying to members of Border Research and A25 group, so they can complete the archive with valuable information, if they want to. They will still need to discover the access password to these forums, so not everyone in these groups may respond, but anyone obtaining the password can view the records.
Aelis will followup with details about the quest when it will be ready.

This one is an other song with my lyrics, in romanian this time.. its weird and fun to bring old texts to life using AI

In addition to this, i want to say something about mentoring new players when they are in fact undercover vets, as this happened to me many times and i admit its frustrating.
It is frustrating, but if you think about it better, an "OK" alt, should be allowed to go through this process to. In many cases there are fossilized vets, that suddenly realize they lost connection with how md works, and want to experience it allover again, including how to it is to be a noob and work their way from the ground up..and this is fully allowed. Maybe one day you will want to experience this yourself, and you will understand why i support this kind of thing.
-
While an altcheck will never happen out of public curiousity, it can certainly happen out of abuse concerns, but even so, the outcome of the check might not be publicly disclosed (maybe only if it ends up with a sort of punishment for the involved parties)
Alternate identities to play alternate roles, is a sacred concept here in md, and any alt abuse should be regarded through this perspective also.
I will conduct a search when and if i consider needed. If you find additional abuse proof please publish here or send to me, but for now this only looks to me like you grabbed onto a minor thing to try to confirm a suspicion, and i can't help you about that.

Yeah it was supposed to be the same side of tbe same door, sadly some inconsistencies are present
...But do you think they are obvious enough?
First of all the ceiling is not inconsistent, its just different as the area the door takes you to gets closer the the bedrock cave style dungeon entrance, while the corridor is built with stone slabs.
The floor tiling is indeed inconsistent, but come on, its barely noticeable that the tiles are perfectly aligned in one and shifted in the other..i could fix that.
These are both sides of the same room, because on the other sode of the door its something else
