Muratus del Mur

i am in both in panic and excitement..not knowing exactly what buttons chewy presses there :s :) good luck

if you get 3ms ping, you should look out on the window and see the server in your garden...lol over the next days if things do not improve, at least we will know if its about the network, hardware or software. Network should be fine, the amsterday node is one of the largest in the world, the hardware can be upgraded as needed without a problem, and software tweaked. Someone posted it loads fine in Hong Kong, if so, then it should eventually be fast in US too. Once everything is tweaked propper , we will move to the CDN and then things should also gain some improvement your feedback is essential for this optimization process

yeah geoip is the issue for the flags ..but chewey fixes everything eeeeeverything i break :) the delay till the page starts to load might still be related to the new dns because both the nameservers are new and the site had them changed. there is a cache that loads over time and will make creature pages, rituals, and other things faster day by day. The scenes load slower from before after the new clickables update. The scene is forced not to be cached so it can check for any potential new clickie.. if this becomes a problem i could disable this during the times when i know no new clickables are being added. The technical specs on the server are similar with the old one and are used in a very low proportion anyway so the speed difference is for now related to the network if you know how to ping, post also ping times (windows: start menu, search type cmd then hit enter, type ping magicduel.com, enter you will see a ms average number) IF YOU NOTICE ANY SPEED INCREASE OR DROP AT A CERTAIN POINT PLEASE POST HERE SO CHEW AND I CAN CORELATE IT WITH ANY CHANGE THAT WAS DONE AROUND THAT POINT. Thank you for your feedback

specify country please (edit your post to add) thank you

it is, i skipped those that were just dots or "k" or "yes" a and such

[attachment=4419:doom.jpg] Question was if you enjoyed md "Lets play a game of tomato!!" "For creativity! "So this game became unprofitable, right?" "It was funny... sometimes" "somewhat" "I do, it\'s a place I still can find inside my head. But I definitely preferred it when it was playable. C\'mon now please, bring it back!!! ... and the sea isn\'t green... ... and I love the queen... ... and what exactly is a dream? ... and what exactly is a joke? " "Yes,but i\'d like my things back" "I did enjoy MD and hope to return to its next iteration someday if possible. this version had better have drinkable cold tea. :P " "O: nuuu!!! md is gone!?" "I enjoyed it, pure awesomeness!" "I enjoyed MD, but it wasn't enough. So I want more :P" "I did enjoy Magic Duel. It is unfortunate that all of my creatures and such were removed, because I tried to make something of my self in this game. I haven\'t been very active lately and I guess this is the push I needed to stop playing." "Yes I do, if ever it doesn\'t come back I could choke a whore and hunt Mur and throw a tomato at him. A blue tomato." "All I get is a pigeon? I want my drachs back!!! It is all Grido`s fault!! There I said it." "Yes enjoyed....but where are my dragonzzzzzzz" "Yes!!! Red buttons can mean different things, so I hope this is for the better. MagicDuel is amazing." "Still love you toooooo. Don\'t panic Mur, that\'s not a shade trapped with you in the dungeon:P fly little bird *giggles* where the hell is Piss Piss!!!1" "I did enjoy MD yes for my first few years, but everything sort of started going down hill for me in the last few years. I hope MD returns in the future" "Well it愀 still the most amazing \"place\" we call game in virtual reality I ever visited in the last 15 years of my \"computer gaming life\". Since MD started for me I nearly dropped every other virtual activity and \"played\" Magic Duel. If it ends here I would be shocked and surprised because the end should have come in a different way. Somehow I know this is not happening. I love what you all are doing and even if this red button was not a failure it愀 something we all can learn from - nothing is permanent and we should always deal with this idea before the end is there. Thank you for everything MUR + MD staff." "realy the best game ever" "Yes, very much so. The question becomes, how long did the server stay up before it was switched off to prevent the tables being over written by logs......" "\"keep calm, breathe regularly\"? hah that explains my panic attacks last night.xD" "yes i enjoyed, now i know why i was leaving the game step by step all is gone now" "MD clearly enjoy. It was he who led me to try to develop my artistic talent" "Yes, bring it back. Please. Even as a fresh start." "YES!" "I\'m waiting. Give me my active day." "OK...so what\'s really going on here? I find it difficult to believe that a game which has endured for 8 years actually employed somebody who was clumsy enough to even be allowed anywhere NEAR an auto-destruct button. Even if true, I\'ll just go and make up another account because you allow me to do so(according to the rules) and if I run into my former character, I\'ll just enslave him and force him to give me his hot dates book(complete with phone numbers)." "miss it already..." "don\'t panic... i\'m watching you :D" "I love the coplexity of the puzzles. Im not a kryptic sort of mind" "It was one of the most unique \'games\' that I\'ve ever played. Does this mean that the forum can now afford an upgrade? :D" "eh... what\'s going on?" "I did - but what is this all about?" "Enough with the tough-love rehab and give me my fix." "I think the last ditch effort to get money to support site but we\'ll see what happensI\'ve seen weirder things from the site" "It\'s a shame, I had so much to discover and learn. Thanks Fang Archbane for giving me a reason to stay in the game. Thanks Syrian and Mallos for the company." "I found it an interesting and unique experience." "Yes! Rhaegar was awesome! He is so pretty, cool and smart! I am his biggest fan, if that is possible, since he is a subject of worship of many! Without his account MD is not the same! Down with the Bunny Empire!" "Somewhat although, not perfect it was enjoyable" "Yes, MD is mysteriously wonderful fun!" "Yes, we\'re ready for MP8" "Yes, I did enjoy MD. I played it for years - in a lot of ways he formed me in my time of most need. Thank you. My mind is bigger for it" "I can\'t believe its come to a close... Still expecting this to be a hoax... None the less, from my perspective I did not view MD as a Game, and as such it will never truly end. Unless you go out with a high powered rifle and hunt down all the people who played. That would do it. Please don\'t do that. That would be silly. (PS: Still expecting to come home and see this thing back up, if it is still down I will likely write a longer message)" "Good game, well played. Can we have a rematch?" "Sure .if i did not enjoy ,,why would i try to enter now?" "no" "aye, asquiffy did" "No!" "the last pigeon once brought an olive branch to the Noahs arche as a symbol of a new life. Maybe everything is not so bad. Cheer up...every end is the beginning somewhere. I the end our reality is only reflection of the reflection of the reflection...." "I hate the forum." "My mind will always fly on the breeze to the lands of MD. It became a real place, I\'ll just have to find it with a different medium. See you soon," "what....why....how.....Mur...." "I DO !" "I enjoy MD massively, there\'s always something new to discover and learn about, even after the years I\'ve been around! The people are also generally pretty cool, which helps a fair bit." "Yes, I did." "For Mur's sake - hell yeah!!!" "Really bad joke, Murry :P" "yeeeeeeeah!!!!! Mur give me back MD!" ]"I do hope this is another tortured psychological experiment to see what our reaction would be. This does not sound good." "It was worst game ever. I never had the chance to play a similar game before / since I started playing and I hope I never will find another game like this. Yes, worst game ever ... because I could never quit playing it." "no, someone keeps asking me to do work" "Yes I enjoy(ed) MD. Good luck :)" "I absolutely loved Magic Duel. I would have loved to play it again now that I am a better roleplayer. I\'m sorry to see the realm was destroyed." "Of course! Why do you think I keep logging in? I wanna ****** baaaack!" "Yes I have enjoyed MD and even though am sure this is a joke while MD is being switch to the other server I wouldn't be mad to lose anything I've gathered over the years because at the end of the days it's not about the creatures or WPs but rather the friends I have made from near and far. No matter how you view life something is for sure memories can only be faded but never absolutely forgotten." "love the "ed" in bracket, making it read like past or present tense. :D I love(d) MD, its been there for me for years.Im just sad I couldnt be more active.I love(d) you MD!Come back "soon"!!:)" "MD was wonderful and I regret I didn't have more to give to it. I hope this isn't the end...." "O_O *cries* Through the highs and lows MD has always offered something to me. I know Mur has a hard time resisting the shiny buttons. If we are all gone, this gives us the chance to start fresh with no history or baggage. Hugs and love to all," "life is weird..trees and such" "I do enjoy MD and I am confused as to what in the 9 realms is going on...I will miss all my friends..." "Yes I do" "Yes" "Used to enjoy it a lot, left, and now just checking in periodically, because it still feels good to log in somethimes and surprise people with a PM" "Aiaie loves this game, hope it comes back soon!! :'(" "Yeah!" "I am so confused" "Not sure what to think. I used to play all the time as *************.. then I got stuck in the Tribunal. Recentally I made *********** to at least play with until I got my other character.. unstuck. Well thanks Mur for messing up everything and thanks for all the fish.." "I will always remember my time on MD with fond memories" "Where can i sign in? What happens with the account of ****" "Yes I enjoy(ed) MD when playing it. Found some interesting people on it who I can ask random questions or play games that induce headaches with. Good times" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHH. Yes I liked Md. It was unique." "be free pigeon!" " ... wait...this means all my hard stolen creatures, items and spoilers r gone...wtf???" "I did. It was one of the truly original things I've encountered in my life, and flaws and all, it was worth the time I spent in it." "Well, yes, I do. Did? By the way, those Tiny Men? I want one. Because making homunculi is just too hard. Find me in the place between soft edges." "ofcourse MD is amazing :D" "Sorry was called away on an emergency and jad to leave immediately. That is why my account went idle and subsequently was not able to confirm at that time. How do I get back into the game?" "For my many years of playing, despite all of the difficulty I had with some of the players.. I did enjoy my time in the realm. I would have liked to have enjoyed it further and I would have liked to bring artwork into the realm again.. It is as it is, and I hope that this is certainly not the end of the game known as Magic Duel. I have hope.. that this is just the beginning." "Yes I enjoy MD. I think it has expanded my mind in a way I doubt I can consciously comprehend (or maybe that was the nightshade...). I've also met some of my favorite people here, people I often talk to more than the people I know in real life, as odd as that might seem. At any rate it's an interesting way to spend my time. And definitely different than any other game out there." "what happened?" "Yes I enjoy(ed) MD when playing it. Found some interesting people on it who I can ask random questions or play games that induce headaches with. Good times"] ""Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"" "I'm ********* and like the roleplay of the game. Except the fact that I have to wait very long for progression and believe the artwork can be a bit more creative." "Yes, I enjoy playing MD. I love it" "best game ever" "RIP" "It was awesome :)" "I hope this is a joke!" "YUSH!!! LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS!!! :D Hurry and bring it back! :(" "YES I LOVE MD!" "That.. entirely depends on what happened in MD >_<" "It's my addiction!!!! Without it I will dieeee!!! Bring back MD!!! Pretty please??!!! I will become a good girl. I almost swear" "MD is/was like a second home." "It was fun yeah, shame it had to end like that RIP MD :(" "Hell yes I enjoy(ed) MD! :D" "I loved it, and will continue to do so forever. Even after I'm gone, the pixels perish, and such. These ripples of how MD changed us, expand, interfere, and augment each other in ways I never intended. Thank you Mur. :P I love you too. (I also LOVE this error page!)"" MD will never die as long as you exist :D ps. i read all of it

zero is >attractive< :)))

I can't sleep thinking of all this, that water today changed something in me...i look at things and "remember" stuff i have the sensation i already discovered long ago. It might be just my memory recovering so if i am amazed discovering things any of you knows i did before (in private or on forum), please let me know, it would explain my sensation. here is a summary of the general context of my research and where randomness fits in: The universe is open but opens towards “nothing”. I imagined things as coils of ideas leading back to a single point ..i explain it to myself now, by imagining that point being both a crossing point and a dead end at the same time as it leads to the untangible “nothing”; Figure eight, facing mirrors, retrocausality as unhappened events that are drained from a stable system outside it and BACK to itself. The point of 'nothing' is a time mirror. It cuts reality in half and put each half in motion towards eachother. Each half experiences "time", it just flows in the opposite direction. Its how events already happend in the future and take grow roots in the past. Imperfection is part of perfection, in my opinion. A closed universe becomes opened by a point of “nothingness” then incorporates it in itself bocoming complete but suffering the consequences. These consequences are entropy and time, with a byproduct called randomness manifested in various forms. The stable universe is goverened by a 4-fold balance where 3 points determine the optional 4th. The tainted, unstable universe expands to 8-fold balance (the number 12 has a major role in the way i see all of this. Just think of a cube, it has 8 corners but 12 sides, you could observe the intersections or the ways so to speak, 8 and 12 are same thing from this point of view but so much more individually. -- I still think water holds the key to everything. When you say water you think of life, but i am convinced water just stepped in the way of life and not the opposite. I am thinking maybe my intuition sees life and water connected so much that it tries to say life is the key to everything, but replaces "life" with "water" ...or is that too wrong to possibly be true? You understand what i try to say here?

---- i was reading what i wrote several times because its 3am and i am a bit tired, and then i realized the possibility of something.. if it is a closed or open system could be determined by knowing if there is such a thing like true randomness or not (in theory)..does anyone understand why i say this? i feel i found the solution to a puzzle i never realized in the first place

its very interesting to read your replies I think there is a fundamental problem about randomness..if it exists, it means its either on the "free will" extreme of things, or on the "garbage bin of the universe" extreme... our nature prevents us to think even the remote possibility that these two could possibly be one and the same thing (!!!).. but from other experience i know that extreme sides touch each other. I say free will because random information raises serious questions about the source of the "randomly" generated information. I say garbage bin because if the randomly generated information is truly useless or meaningless, or simply changes nothing in the universe, is invisible to all observers, then it could exist as surplus. We name waves as a general sum, we use radioactive decay for its stability not its randomness, and even when doing that the random does not change much. In last case, where randomness could exist as the garbage bin of the universe, or ignorance area, "nothing" could turn into "everything" and instead of "silence" it could be "pure noise" of information. On the other hand if the randomness exists and could have an isolated theoretical source (i still exclude readioactivity..maybe i am wrong, idk)..then it means the universe is equally alive as we are. Regarding pi (or any irrational number) and randomness, ..well infinity should not be confused with randomness, but it raises a question, does infinity CAUSE true randomness? I guess there is no "true" infinity either, its always about now, tomorow and the "possibility" that there is a next one after the second. The more i dive into these waves , some roots remain stable: - water seems to me the key to randomness, intuition screams ..why water and not..oil..its also fluid..i have no clue, intuition makes no sense lol - randomness seems to lead to information about free will (religious implications..It could also indicate how similar we are in nature to the world we live in) and also help understand if we live in a closed or open system. is it garbage bin or source, closed or open. - infinity and randomness seem connected somehow..both are there yet they are not actually there..same like "everything" and "nothing". .. information coils connecting to the same center over and over again, so far all doors appeared closed..except..if the key is not to one door but opening more at the same time ..its what i am doing now.

Radioactive decay is the only "true" random source simply because its unexplainable..i wonder is there a theory to prove it? Or at least did any lab isolate one single lonely atom and observe this decay?, because otherwise how can we know its not actually comming out as random due to outside influences, thus, explainable in a larger context. I don't think true random is possible... (no i am not contradicting myself)

i thought to update this with how i see things now. as time passes certain circuits of my mind still comnect to continue thoughts started long ago. i believe entropy is indicating a gap that is draining a perfectly timeless and balanced -thing- back into its own future. This -thing- lets call it universe for now, but something still doesn't fit in that term, is basically like a coil entering and exiting this one gap. enough for now, this is a very slow motion thought i have, might take many years to evolve

we take things for granted and when we look for explanations we learn from others and look into past explorations of the unknown. This is good, it supports education..what can I say.. I don't think its healthy however. Looking at something obvious and wondering yoursef "why"..without googling it or looking it up in books, will possibly make you understand something more. It changes the perspective on things quite a bit. You will not find answers, but you will learn to educate your questions, and that is the most important step to a newborn mind. ...If you ever thought of yourself you are anything else than a newborn, then you are already one step in your grave ;) water i stare at a lake surface right now and i wonder why there are ripples. I try to clear my rational mind and ignore predefined answers in my head like "because of the wind"..and what else do I observe.. - if you put a square shape into the water, the ripples end up to be round anyway. water has attitude. - if you cause multiple ripple sources, eventually all generated ripples join in one big large wave - waves appear to be random..but wait..my rational mind screams from its virtual cell "everything has an explenation, all movement could be tracked and theoretically its connected to what caused it, back to the beginning of this world" ..and here system error occurs everything is mathematicaly explainable, every bit of randomness is not random because at some point something caused each part if it..assuming there is a "start". what if there was none. what if the ripples i stare at are actually truly random as my intuition fights to tell me against what reason "explains" me? it is in randomness i would search for the ultimate order and i keep staring at the waves...they are repeating..repeating randomness...and i realize i reached again a border i reached before. my questions are..what do you observe when you look at a (natural source) water surface. Someone I asked this had a very natural and shocking (for me) reaction..told me "everything is simple, it is alive" what am i missing? what else can you observe on water that is not tainted by knowledge. question the obvious

my point of view is a bit..cruel I build stuff in md, i develop new features and i imagine what could be done with them. From time to time, or better said _always_ there are people that already aim in that direction. What i do is to play with my toys, continue to develop md, and in this process i APPLY the features i build on the ideas that exist. In the first years i was naive enough to bind features to roles or individual characters, now i build them more generic. When i "support" the garden, i support the garden ideea applied in the way i will be able to implement it. I am grateful to Rumi for fighting for this concept and I am glad now there are tools to make it happen, but unfortunatly I do not see working on this feature as an enhancement to Rumi's role, but an enhancement to MD. If Rumi manages to keep this idea alive that is amazing, if not, the functionality will be designed to work regardless. Its "too nice to be true" to see people that bring cool ideas also fight for them and be responsable for them from now on. In general roles come and go, thats why whatever i build needs to be a little more independent from one specific person and be more community orientated. Whatever garden system i will build based on the recently released features, It will need fine tuning and lots of work from someone that actually cares to make it work...and who else if not the person that started the "movement" At least thats my view on things. I've been told and i know already that there are people out there that deserve a lot more attention than others ...its true, but I am not making favors here...i keep steady in the direction i go and from time to time it intersects with things i could solve on the way..so why not do so.

reason 1: "You were the one going on about keeping dreams sacred and you dont care." reason 2: "phantom just decided to dream a large amount of people." reason 3: In general, you should have ben more creative in manifesting your hate on dst, not dream in idle mode, and being idle is not a crime. Worse case, you should have been waiting for her to reply/react before any dream punishing. i guess any other investigation on this matter is useless, this is clearly an abuse. I was not online today, but if mass dreaming was indeed done, that means just one thing. Council, pls remove dream ability for Poe. Role powers should be used as they were supposed to, not to their full extent of their technical capabilities.

1) immaturity or not, dreams abuse is something i am and always was,totally against. 2) I expect a PUBLIC answer/version from Poe, in such way that it can be commented/judged not just by me, because I mustbe honest,i am not much around at all 3) "make the target dream indefinitely until she responds to the dream catcher" ... i thought thats more than obvious that is should be done.. punishing anyone without even hearing an answer back as a sign that that person is at least aware of the situation is in my view plain abuse

my part in this event was to sponsor and to deal a little damage (because some parts of this event couldn't be granted as tools). I will give my rewards to the people on the list i received, i am not a judge on this quest. I will give my rewards __in my own time__. The people i killed will remain dead,..its not as if death is temporary just during a quest. I will offer various ways for ANY dead people at the cemetary to be revived. I gave out a few one time reviving elixirs, more to same person (you can trade them). These elixirs need to be earned..the way you get revived its not part of this event, the way you get points/rewarded is not my business, i just provide the sponsorship, like i do with many other quests.

)))))))))))) good one chew

ITS ON 6TH !!!@#$R%$%# but thank you

I confirm this event will be sponsored with a spell doc. Additional undisclosed rewards might be given depending on how large the event will be.
