Muratus del Mur

Its not fair what i do now, but i am writing this article as a conclusion of my own, so you have a base for what to "attack" http://md-archives.com/articles/161/1/Signs-of-entropy/Page1.html Please use this forum thread for argumenting/debating. Like i say there, the discussion is still open, i hope you can bring me proof and arguments to change my mind and prove me wrong...only in this way i can perfect it. (this is the exact text i currently plan to use in the book so some things might sound related to text that are not in that article)

regardless of system/base, division can be used to obtain a "flawlessly represented" and infinite in that way, number, while multiplication cant. I still wait a proof where it can. Laws of physics say many things, if you compare quantum physics with normal one, you will see they fight a lot, while both being right in their way. Actualy what i say relies on the balance in an indirect way...to put it in other words: if something is capable of vanishing , (example, energy into endless universe) then something, according to the same balance, should be capable of appearing out of nothing. Its only natural that in an entropic system, "rules" will favor the destruction and not the creation. Even if in theory you should use same energy to build as you use to destroy, in reality, is never like that. And i mean never. The universe is at an entropic stage and that is visible without any theories or telescopes. The law of conservation applies on ideal systems that are not affected by entropy. Its simple to imagine actualy, think of this: Consider the universe as you say, balanced, law of conservation works just fine, division is same with multiplication, etc ... now, on this sistem apply a force that is driving everything down, makes everything consume more, degrade instead of assamble ..ENTROPY..is will affect all these rules. They will still remain ideal in theory, but if you look deeper, discrepancies will appear. I consider, and its a personal view only, that the universe might still be perfectly balanced if we consider also time. A system can be under influence of entropy one period of time, while under influence of syntropy the other period, and like that balanced. But without time in the equation, you will only see a part of the system rules, and obviosly seeing just a part, they will be incomplete and unbalanced.

creature was sent by you to that other id, anyway you two talk and try to find an agreement. if its impossible, ask for an investigation ..but be aware i will investigate both sides.

placing a wp at the start of the time frame is important. A new player will not be impressed by the idea that he will get somehting after ONE YEAR of playing, ...they are not sure if they will stay one day at first. I am also talking about WP directly not WP codes, so transfers are not an issue. I hope that in this way people will want more, and not consider wp as unreachable anyway. There are many that have none and stoped hoping for one. Alt checks , if implemented, will be very strict. Only one of the tests for example could be extremely strict, the ip check. If you are in a school or campus, you will never be able to get this reward if someone else got it first. Also the full range of alt checking is quite paranoid, so you will probably not be able to get the reward in many cases when the system things you are in any way related to the other account. Its big question, should alts be developed as separate characters (so yes get the wp) or should they be considered alts as they are? .. If there were not all these people that have alts to cheat or swarms of alts, this situation would be totaly different. AGE, in md, is the strongest sign of loyalty towards MD. You could be the worst character around, if you have a lot of age and you are still around and not baned, it means you are loyal to MD. You might not be loyal to its people, thats an other thing, but you are here and that counts. At least thats how i always felt about active days.

@Grido the "results" of the discussion are now in the book, a chapter about entropy and its importance to energy to information translation. It will be called "Signs of entropy". I am still trying to figure a way to put things so that some remain open , because in this discussion there were many things that opened alternatives, but eventualy there are 1000 of right and wrong ways, putting one on paper is enough to cause people to put the questions and thats what matters .. nobody can be fully right, (regardless of public polls *cough*) I will probably put the text also on the archives. Please, if you have any objections or new proof in relation to the theories discussed, tell me. Most interesting ideas come from confruntations, i admit i never thought about division being more important than multiplication before this talk. I did my homeworks after this and i think i was right indeed. Without you provoking, this chapter would be missing

anyone that i still owe something from the festival , please email me. I hope there are none that i forgot, but who knows :S I still have the feeling i forgot someone

I did not read the replies yet, i am waiting to have time to actualy use them , then i will all and "process" the results..oh and send you your reward for helping out Thnx

the creature in discussion is now in my posession, whoever claims it ..i am waiting for you to start a trial and present your version of the story to see who is right and who is lieing. (Note: The creature was on id 178002 not on the id indicated by you)

Let me know what you think about having a type of achievement that will give you a wishpoint for active days, without any other requirement. The implications are greater, it will cause a slight inflation of wp, especialy for the 50 days option that most fulfill. Wp are ment to be achieved by special merits so to say, i think age shows something even if its not a quest or a puzzle. What about farming alts for age , you get aged creatures and now also wishpoints, ideas, ways to avoid that? I am planning to add some very strict ways but it could be extreme. This idea can be made real fast, its something i started to work on but i stoped now to create this poll to see what you think about it first. If its not gonna win, maybe there are alternatives, if not, i'll focus on something else.

part of the role of a cheater/thief is the risk of him getting cought. ofc something can be done about it, not always, but from time to time, to give examples. Remember the announcement about trials and judges? read it.

ummm, it was a ..joke...you know, like when you make those sounds "HA HA HA". jeez.

who is always right? ME? )))

i picked all of you that offered to help, in the order you posted: 0-3000 Observer 3000-6000 Chewett 6000-9000 dst 9000-12000 cutler121 12000-15000 Fenrir Greycloth 15000-18000 grido 18000 - 21000 czez 21000 - 23000 pipstickz you received details on pm. Thank you!

using MP2 is clearly alt abuse by definition. MP2 are no longer in play. Unless we are talking about an MP2 that is known and managed to create a 'name', its alt abuse.

hey, you are going offtopic, we are not talking about how to do this in the future, but how to clean the current 20k records. Limiting latest 10 is irrelevant for current task. i will start sending lists to those that offered their help. Thank you

so how you want to do this, i give the full list to one of you and that person gives to the rest and receives back the results? I looked over them a bit and it goes fast because you look over 10 at a time, you dont have to read them just look they are not bad and most are ok.

I was so full of fresh forces preparing to check the public logs..i opened db...and all my fresh forces vanished. 22384 logs to check Now...i think i need some help. Task will be to look over a list with such logs and make a list with those that are - offending, extreamly rude - containing scripts or html - spam, (Kill Da Rabbit i suppose its a quest?) - random filling text, like asdfgasdfg Also at the end a "top" should be made, those that "win" first positions get baned. I give you all time to not get into this situation, including with this post now. I think one person is not enough, but might be, so anyone offers to help?

penalty is based on nr of heads .. if i remember right ...so more heads , means harder to keep them, faster score increase ..what is to be balanced about that? sanctuary... i guess hc was always a nightmare for people staying in sanctuary, it will probably always be, but who knows what will change next hc.

Like Grido said. Also if thinks goout of control i will make a pm block feature, like ignore on messenger. Public logs is a different matter, more critical one because they are public. ..that reminds me i should start checking those

La Multi Ani!

Thnks now makes more sense.

And it was just a suggestion, if you realy dont want to , dont do it, idea is to feel good about it. The probability that someone in lets say filipine will spend thousands of dollars to come to your door to beat you to death is much more remote than a truck running over you inside your home. The address you give yourself, its not public, you can pick only people from far far away places and that you know in game for a long time. But again, its your choice and if you dont feel good about it, then simply dont do it, its much better you dont than to have nightmares after you did. My address is public for 10 years and i placed myself into lots of troubles but so far i never got to use the flamethrower i keep next to my door. only trouble i had was from people i already knew, in same town and country...

you never know. Even if address is something that can be found out quite easy if you want to, i don;t want anyone to get in trouble or receive any requests to ban anyone later. I already receive phonecalls from paranoid parents that think MD is affecting their kid education or so and want me to prevent them from playing, so, ask permission if you are not legaly allowed to do it .... If other reasons prevent you from sharing cards, i realy wish to find a way to help. Long range cards could cost a lot its true, but local post is quite cheap even for a kid. If you have money to buy a cola you can do that too, if you dont have money to buy a cola, you could send a handwritten piece of simple paper, if you get my point....

Its a good point indeed. .... anonimous post box? ...send by owl or pigeon? ...damn there must be a way..send to a friend?

Why you cant iab? (age, money ?) I am sure it can be solved somehow.
