Muratus del Mur

I got about 100 spells documented, i will continue next time. Kyphis contact me about these when you can, you need access to the docs, if you want to (i dont know if you want since you did not reply anything yet). If i hijacked your topic and you don't intend to help with it, its ok, just let me know. I realize it might be too much.

bringin and chase spells, and other admin spells will not be added to items , except if you have an item that is incredibly well suited to such a spell, via its name or description. As i promised long ago, and i keep to promises, items description equivalete reality, so whatever the item name or description said, if that functionality is available, it will do that. Items like "big red button" could be used for "emergency meeting" but this is just a possible use, the button could very well do other things, it is not bound to such a function, and since such a function is admin stuff, it will not do that. I will keep an open mind to allow it one time use of a massive summon spell or something, ..i am not sure if a one time use will be a problem or not. Other items like "secret ingredient" could have a better use as a wildcard item in cauldron mixers. Many items suggested here, like "super glue","Smoke grenade", etc , do not exist, so PLEASE only suggest items that do exist ONLY Going through the replies so far, i could pick only these possible enhancements: Blue Silk Boxer Shorts - boostbriskness

givevital spell updated, new functionality is this 20% from own vit per level, not divided to number of targets. Each target gets the amount you lose. I wasn't able to see anything wrong with it, so if its still not working let me know

barfight could be a good one for the alcohol bottles

@Kyphis the Bard here is the topic, i will spend my next many hours trying to document existing spells on the A25 forum, so you can all know how to use this topic.

DO NOT POST ON THIS TOPIC UNLESS YOU GOT CONFIRMATION FROM HERE THAT YOU CAN: What i am interested in, are EXISTING ITEMS that could be turned into magical items, based on spells that are already existing. Currently there are 165 different KINDS of spells (i will not code any new unless i find it interesting myself, not on request). Some of these kinds, are configurable into lots of other subversions, other spells are completely unique, but still there are more spell kinds than players. So if you have an item that looks as if made for a specific , existing, spell, discuss it on @Kyphis the Bard topic, then post it here in the requested format. Any item is accepted, regardless if its common, shop roleplay item, rare, tool, already functional, etc, any item goes. Shared items need a special treatment and suggestions involving shared items will be analyzed later. THE RULES I will keep turning normal items into magical items until i stop and get busy with something else. This is a one time event, probably a later role opportunity, or a major md feature, i don't know. Once i stop, you will notice, or i will close this thread. First people posting are more likely to get their items done. - If you post items that are based on spells that are non existing, or the spell exists but the item doesn't, or you provide the wrong format, or suggest new spells or functionality, they will be rejected and you will be blacklisted from this post (all future items posted by you here get ignored) - You may only post items that you currently have in your inventory. If i look for the item by item name and your id and can't find it, you get blacklisted from this topic. - Items will be granted a limited number of casts. The item remains "depleted magical" once consumed, this will not affect whatever the item functionality currently is, and still has a chance to benefit from later ways of recharging magical items later. - you will not be asked, and i will not reply to your post if anything does not fit or is unacceptable. Instead, i will mark your post as denied or approved and continue to the next one. Anything that is not clear or you wish to discuss, please post on Kyph topic for clarification, but be advised he does not know more than you do about the subject currently. I will reply there if needed, and update him accordingly. THE FORMAT Post only in this format, anything else you post, or any question you post, you get blacklisted. Use the other topic for this. Item name: Item ID: Your ID: Current functionality: Current functionality if the item is a tool or otherwise functional Spell: (ask for the correct spell name and available options on the other topic, Kyph will be able to help you identify it) Number of casts: Suggested minimal number of casts and why ("because its cool to have" is a valid answer too, but more sustained arguments can help creating an item with a higher number of casts) Casting words: These words will be required to be spoken in chat to cast the spell, and unlike spells you currently own, they can not be customized. If two people suggest same item, the one with better casting words (according to my own opinion), will be selected. Keep it clear, themed, nicely formulated, and without punctuation dependent meaning.

you read my mind i was about to post something similar. then i will focus on documenting the spells properly and build auxiliary tools for this feature, because there are plenty that are needed, and you can help filter the info in this topic. I will create an other topic where the results of this topic should be posted, like this i can skip reading too much, and i can make some items magical. I will post the link shortly

The domain magic.re was finally recovered, after such a long time. Considering the trouble i went through with it, and how uncertain things are with this extension , i am not confident enough to move forum back to it. Instead, magic.re redirects to the forum, in case anyone finds it easier to use it than the current one. I am not sure what plans i have with this domain on the long term, maybe sell it, or use it for other purpose, or keep it for the forum, i don't know. If i find a more trust worthy registrar for it i will try to move the forum to it again, but right now, no.

Is me being you still a theory? If so, this entire story sounds very trippy :)))

Oregano, as in the spice, maybe, a seed or something, but origami certainly not

Forgot one interestint fact, ..no other c4umbled piece of paper can ever get a wp :))) this was it, other interesing ways of receiving easy wp must be invented next

Ok ... this deserves a detailed answer, to clear things, for everyone, i hope. This reply is equally valuable to those receiving wps, but also to those giving wps... see it as something to learn from First impression when i heard this, was... "close the gates, hide the buttons, Fyrd has gone crazy"... but obviously its not so. But..there is zero indication of recklessness in his decision, he was entitled to give wp for whatever he considered fit (in the hope he will follow my guidelines regarding this), and it was nothing suspicious or hidden in his actions. In this case, we need to think things more and at least try to understand the reasons. When someone gets the ability to give wishpoints..it is EARNED. This also means that I trust that person's judgement to use wishpoints to shape activity in md, but also shape the value system overall. What is the ultimate purpose of wishpoints in md? It is to unlock the most powerful things. They are the most potent attractors, but also a way of confirming ones involvement and overall achievement in MD. Wishpoints and medals are probably the highest form of acknowledgement, its MD's way of telling "you are awesome". Because of this, they need to be treated wisely. It is not good and absolutely not healthy to the community to keep wps just something given for impossibly difficult tasks, but also we must not give them for trivial zero difficulty activities. It takes time to understand where wp place is in MD's balance, but an easy way to see it is this "Wishpoints need to be special". Let me present you this situation from a different perspective too... lets put things in a balance: The good - This wp managed to put things in motion, get people active on a dead topic, and revive a one year old quest. Of course a wp would have revived anything an anyone, anytime, its their side effect, but doing this without falling in the pitfalls of favoritism or risking to be lame, its difficult. This particular use was bordering the symbolic, not the abuse, at least in my view. - I am happy that he remembered what i said about balancing easy wp vs difficult wp. There is a tendency to make a mix and keep things 'moderate', or even to forget to give an easy wp once a year or so, instead doing just difficult wp quests. I think about 25% of wps should be easy to get, but still SPECIAL, not trivial. To balance those wp's i give a a lifetime of hard work, just one symbolic wp.... its a balance The bad: - Giving a wp for crumbling a piece of paper, is certainly NOT what i had in mind when thinking of this wp system. Old players would turn in their abandoned accounts if hearing a wp was given for this. I think Fyrd failed at presenting his decision the way it deserved to be presented, but then again, maybe he considered he is not supposed to offer such explaining. - The really bad is that this filled up the need for super easy wp for the entire year, but offered a wp to someone that could have earned a difficult one instead, missing to give an easy wp to someone with less potential, to solidify the community better. and the ugly: - It looks to me that the winner of the wp did not participate to actually win it, so the wp reward was kind of a stretch to conclude the quest. I am not sure if this is good or bad yet, but it is ugly. I can't think of an other way to do this to avoid it being ugly, so i might have done the same. - we, those that can reward wp or code a wp reward in a25, must find it easier to decide when to leave a wp quest without a wp reward. Having no one left to reward does not mean that person should get it all, at least not when it comes to wp...other rewards maybe. Wishpoints should be given for a wide a range of opportunities. Its important to avoid giving wp just for the most elaborate and difficult to solve puzzles, same as it is important not to give wp just for too trivial things such as this one. There is room for these extremes however. I think Fyrd managed to play with fire successfully and give a wp that was so absurdly trivial that it was special. By doing this he completed the balance of "easy to get" vs "impossible to get" wishpoints. I am sure he will not follow this by an other easy wp, and that giving a wp for the 'crumbled piece of paper' was a premeditated and well planned act. That being said, this wp will not be confiscated (in case anyone wished that). One thing i would like to remark about this, is that next time one gives an easy wp to someone, should make it less possible to achieve it fast, and less out of desperate need of finding a winner no matter what.

I learned that people have behaviour patterns, that lead to situations they can never get out, or are doomed to repeat over and over. These patterns are rooted deep in their past, sometimes its not even them that caused the reason for their patters, but it was their anchesters. I discovered this about others, just to realize my patters later. Its very hard to see something about your own self, because you have to face a truth you can't admit. It is much easier to see it on others. The challenge was to be able to think truthfully enough about myself, to notice these patters and admit them, understand them. Its one thing to realize them once, and an other thing to live with the awareness of them constantly. If you think fast about something that might be a pattern in your existance, its easy to come up with several answers, but thats just the internal defence telling you things you can accept thinking, its not always the truth. Its easy to think of your flaws like "I am too good to people that hurt me"...or this kind of miss europa kind of shit, but its really really hard to think of yourself as "i am too chicken to change my partner, so i imagine that i like him/her"..or "i'm just plain ugly, not a special kind of beauty" kind of things, without imediately finding justification for the bad things. I won't detail my 'things', ofc these are personal, but they are there, like in anybody else... and most of the time its a constant challenge to be honest with yourself. What i could tell others about this, is that you should consider this a constant journey. You build something, in yourself, and every time you are honest with yourself you add an other brick. The real challange is that most of the time you realize that this construction started long ago, before you decided to be honest with yourself, and now you have to deal with design elements you can no longer change. From this point forward, its a lot one could say..but its offtopic here

Too tired to make more sense now, but i was super excitrd to write about this i will announce it properly when i check tomorrow if runs

Dev edition - will probably be reset later when complete This is how it is supposed to work: Santa in slot 6 gets attack based on how healthy the caster is and how many kills the santa has. Santa has obviously no kills, and also has nothing to do with the attack as it can not attack.. but the attack bonus will become meaningful when an other shard will really piss off Santa and make him viciously attack. Targeting slot 6 makes it possible to use all other crits to place enhancements and modify behaviour of this slot. Using slot 6 because if crits attack in order, 6 will be last, but you can use any slot when creating shards. Of course, the caster crit gets marked as Sinner for a number of fights, and sinners might later be exceptionally vulnerable to certain crits. I plan for several Santa related abilities in a series, to have the first set of shard abilities meant to be used as a sort of set. The plan is to add countering effects for every powerful shard created. Using sinner mark might be a good way to mark overpowered or not so natural abilities like making a healer do damage. Later on i can do overpowered abilities to affect sinner marks, to balance all the things that cause the mark to be set. Known issues: log is confusing, sinner mark is not yet set, the code only once, probably the shards are currently completely broken. Note: Problem with the formula calculations if using npctalk vars (not needed here), because when not set the noctalk vars are just empty fields, not zero. Let me know what you think, if you tested it, anything

Initially i wrote an answer here, but due to obvious reasons i decided to pm it to the quest creator inststead Ps: I'm not the anonymous judge, just a silent observer interested in this subject.

I must say the print in this picture is nothing compared to the details on the 3d model, really really well done. We made a deal me and Seigheart, he gets to print and sell the models of the md world he creates (i understand there are more to come), and MD gets to use these models in any way we need. I am thinking how many people in this community have access to a 3d printer, or at least how many would be motivated by a quest that involves learning 3d editing and/or printing. Over the years many people learned stuff due to MD that helped them later in life, why not 3d skills. ..I have to think about this well, my response will be proportional to Seigh's involvement, its up to him if this remains just with this awesome drach model, or expands into something else. I will be open to future collaboration. If someone can bring a skill he has in RL and use it in MD, i will always support it. This quest was about getting you to DO something, and make you understand that this rare creature can be obtained if YOU create it, with your own efforts, and in your own way, because in life, only your own way is important and you must learn that the things you do and put passion into, have power and create your reality. I am seriously thinking of extending this "build yourself" quest to a majority of things in md, but i will think about it some more. Opinions about this from all of you are welcome, send me PM, lets not flood this topic.

Now this is something impressive! Reward fully deserved. I'll send it shortly. Share the .stl or whatever format it has, i would like o try to print it too.

I am thinking maybe you find A25 update not interesting, so here is a poll about this

looking forward to see an original 3d printed drach, its always useful to learn new stuff

While i appreciate anyone doing this quest, and i also know its not an easy task to make a 3d printer work (took me a while first time), i don't think that just printing a dragon you found somewhere, means that you built it. If you come up with your own design, regardless how horrible it comes out, and you print that, or at least considerably modify an existing model and personalize it, then print it properly, then i can consider this a valid entry, otherwise, not.

How about the most extreme option, i do a score from all sorts of factors such as active days, consecutive, wishpoints, credits, medals, etc, and calculate a voting power based on that? Question is, should less evolved characters be able to count significantly in this popularity score? Or older players will always have the strongest vote?

I was thinking to change vote power based on consecutive days in the past 30 days. Someone with 15 consec, will vite with 100% poser, someone with 30 days or more will vote with 200% power and someone with 3 days will vote with 20% power. An alternative...with different implications, would be to consider fight based honor score for voting power. Other ideeas are welcome, what would make a player more important than an other when it comes to vote this? How about a vote based on wishpoints obtained in the last 6mo? @I am Bored for now voting is mandatory. Maybe later i will add additional checks to prevent alts voting.

What we can see here, is that the top 3 positions are far above the rest, Fang reached the last position, and Ledah is a very controversial character, as he has a lot of votes but his overall score does not go to much above or below zero. Iashtal and Lazarus are in a similar situation, i wonder is it a coincidence that all these 3 are somehow "dark" roles? Fyrd lost the perfect score just this last round, he had 18/18 not too long ago, i am impressed that someone managed to get so many positive votes, i guess the garden was very popular Half of the people voted for Chew, one way or an other, so he wins the top position for most received votes of any kind followed by Fyrd (obviously) ...and..Ledah (3rd most voted person) Your comments on all this are most welcome.

Laaadiiiess and gentlemen , the results of the votes so far:
