Seigheart bids 5Gold for Balance Profile, meaning fights lost and won will be set equal (to one of the two at your choice)

Seigheart bids 5gc for Bone Resource Collector (note that such an item might be eventually available as shared tool. Resource collecting items will also be offered "probably" to the spentcredits player list. This is not certain on when or if it will involve this specific one but don't say i didnt mention it. Item will be given as personal item and not shared one, OF COURSE.)

i sent an intial email but apparently not all of you have an updated address, some of you are long gone so its understandable, however if you fail to receive these emails i will not allow you to backorder the items so to speak. You have till tomorow to check your spam folder or update your email in order to receive the next one that will describe the first item in exchange for your first ticket. below i will post a copy paste of the email i just sent: =========== Hello, Mur here, (this is my private email, pls use it only for this matter for any other md related matter use the md email, thnx) I am contacting you because you are in the top spenders list (all times) and as I detailed on the following forum topic you will be the first to benefit from the spent-credits shop tickets. [url="../11209-spent-credits-shop-list"]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/11209-spent-credits-shop-list[/url] How this works: I will email all of you a couple of times (if you wish to be removed from this list let me know pls) Each time i will tell you what item is available for a "ticket" , if you want it, reply telling your *playername and id and the name of the item *(to avoid confusion). Each ticket is equal to *200$ in spent credits* (you pay [img]https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif[/img] nothing, its based on what you already paid). The total spent credits are the amount of used credits in game regardless if you have them from rewards, bonuses, or plain payments. You won't be able to spend all your tickets yet, this is just the first step to start giving out these free items as promised. If more of you reply to a single item all of them will get that item. if you have questions please post them on the FORUM so i can answer once for all of you. A next round of emails will be sent ONLY after all of those replying will receive their items. Once a new item is posted, you won't be able to take a previously offered item. I will allow at least a day or two between "rounds" , however you can easily expect timespans of many days at first till this get going faster. Again, the items are free, you are entitled to receive one (any) for each 200$ increment in your credits total. Thank you for supporting MD and HAVE FUN! Mur

Zleiphneir bids 5 Gold for an item that when used will cause similar effects like the Gross Ritual of Self Oblivion from the md shop.

Seigheart bids 10Gold for having his avatar gold.

i don't want to go into extreme examples, but typing something (that makes sense independently) while talking something completely different with someone else, IS multitasking. cooking while thinking how to deal with a totally unrelated matter is multitasking thinking too, in my opinion. I also believe that thinking ahead, while doing something, is sort of a multitasking process because you think on a different, but related, matter. Focus shifts indeed from one to an other but the mental processes is parallel and semi-conscious

(warning - lack of psychology diploma ahead) I just made a discovery and i am curious for any feedback. Maybe someone of you with knowledge on such matters could tell me if it is something known or wrong or what. I believe that personality starts to form when we start to be able to consciously think multitasking. I also believe that multitasking thinking influences the way personality develop. People with jobs or activities requiering highly distributive attention develop a more flexible personality and are more capable of assuming different roles. People with jobs or activities that require less multitasking thinking, such as fixed repetitive activities, have a tendency to stick to a fixed and less flexible personality. Multitasking thinking gives our mind a glance at how we are, as if observing itself, and because of that process personality starts to form. Personality is a broad term, i refer to all its meanings, no need to detail it here. Again, this is my own undocumented theory based on things i learned through my own methods, do not take it as fact. I am looking for feedback to polish this theory and fill in certain gaps.

MagicDuel, the game, [b]started as a forum[/b] with MY mind games. ..a FORUM.. I could take you apart bit by bit and nullify each of your arguments but the thing is..why? You made up your mind and i have no intention to fight you in any way, i am just sad of this unexpected reaction. Even if you don't see it so, i value you as a player, you and all that passed a certain point in my mad invisible mind labyrinth. Your "rights" allow you to close the window and quit....how could an uneducated punk like me, without a diploma, possibly deny your precious rights. Anyway, if you want to stay and amaze yourself of my suspicious and evil experiments, remember i am not the type to hold grudges against anyone for speaking up their mind...i am just tired to fight your particular type of mentality. That was offending, in case i was to subtle. Blame it on the drinks i had today. OMG you realise that your fragile mind is probed by someone that drinks? its like performing brain surgery on someone after having some late saturday night fun..oomg, i am such a monster, please excuse me.or not.

Eon offers 30GOLD for an item that can bring someone back from the dead (reverse of the kill spell/item)

Eon offers 30GOLD for two extra shop resets. bidding open.

as i said i iwll post public all unusual bids for gold i consider valid. If nobody bids more the requested will be granted at the offered price ofc. Ledah offers 1gc for an xp reset, auction started

@Yrth good you cleared that up. @Sharazhad i find your reaction most amuzing since you were never targeted by such tests, yet you cry about rights and such. Anyway, your 'human rights' have nothing to do with your character rights...otherwise you might want to sue me for jailing people or turn them into frogs .... Excuse me for not having a degree in ..anything at all actually, lol. According to that social standard I am a mediocre imbecile you find everywhere. Am i really? Last time i checked i was not writing any medical prescriptions or giving any psychology advice and such. Do I need a degree for scouting the human mind in my own way for my own wisdom? My actions go no further from the characters you play and that character is as you pointed out a fraction of your true self. The really sad thing is that from all this it is you that have to learn the most, by 'you' i mean those 'tested'. I learned what i learned, but did you? Failing dramatically or experiencing unexpected turn of events in an online game is the perfect sandbox to learn something about yourself ad the people around you. If you prefer to shut yourself down and point the finger at my crazy experiments..i really wondered why and how you survived md so far. Rights do not protect you from your own mind..sadly enough. You like to generalize and fit all this in the "crazy scientist" making experiments on "humans" category? Sounds so cool, thank you, but if you really want to understand what I said don't lose yourself in preconceptions.

yes email,or pm, and tell your playername, the thing you wish and the gold amount you want to start your bid with. I WILL MAKE THE REQUEST PUBLIC IF I ACCEPT IT AS SELL-ABLE and anyone else can bid more if they wish it. as soon as the gold ammount needed is reached i will stop this and even void ongoing auctions if any (nobody loses anything ofc)

Yrth, you wanted proof as if it was a public contest and i cheated it. thats the attitude i refer to. You said what i did is bullshit, covered up. Lets not fight here, This medal was not made to mock former kings in any way don't drag it in that direction. I take pride in being my own judge and analyzing and reanalyzing my own mistakes and deeds over and over again. There is one single thing i consider incomplete and maybe wrong in what i did. I wish I could have told each person I tested over the time what it was that i found out. I don't think i ever did that. I did things to make them realize their flaws, indirectly, but i consider it outrageous and offending for me to tell them where they failed in a test they never accepted to take. I will not discussed individual cases because i still want to avoid pointing the finger at one or the other king. As they are now, all have an excuse they can use for avoiding to be individually targeted by this announcement. Resignation, my direct punishment, lack of tools, you name it. Naming one or the other character how they "failed", would be a punishment I didnt intended.

@chew: Summon by tag: Marind Bell - Wookie Army @seigh: this needs clarification indeed, tribunal and archives too, if needed

@yrth: "[i]otherwise it look to be a load of BULL to reward players for nothing.[/i]" so damn CUTE. what else can i say I can and will reward anything i consider worth rewarding from good to bad things, organized effort is rewardable. The decision to give this medal is solely mine. Ofc you can ask why, I never mind that, however i do mind the sort of attitude you have on this one. "Whom they took down and proof of this." I gave the medals so late, because I didn't wanted them to sound as a motivation as if i would say "good boy this is the way to get medals, kill your neighbor". Obviously I will not detail the secrets of a secret mission. I assumed this is clear from the start. I will not mention who slayed who, out of[b] respect [/b]for the involved people (those 'slayed'). Imagine how it would be for me to say "haha, dst mentally slaughtered , lets say, seigheart" ..or such things. The medal is well deserved but just that. @Sharazhad, the breaking points are only in relation to the persons role. I constantly push and test CHARACTERS in key positions, in such ways that they will never notice or know it and hopefully when they less expect it. It has nothing to do with the person behind the character. [b]My role in the realm is one of a demon and i play it fully.[/b] You think i crossed the line? I only redirected certain forces to certain purposes, things IN REALM against things IN REALM. Why was it not "public"? First of all you have no idea what it is you are talking about that it was. Secondly it was not public because if the involved person would pass the test, the only possible reward for that person would be its own success. Thirdly, if you know you are tested you would not behave as you are and the 'test; would be influenced. Come on people, this is so obvious. @seigheart, last time i checked i didn't hired you as lawyer

That's exactly my intention (item related to tag) however I need to solve an other issue...how to restore the original tag .. I have the solution I just need to do it, and it will be a surprise

yes, true, really sorry about this. it was delayed, my fault, I will send it shortly

@peace, citizenship without ally is something that concerns all lands not just necrovion. As i already said there will be ways to be citizen without being part of an ally (keeping the ally importance within a land) @dragul, the reason why the spell will function only on all of the tagged players at once is to avoid using this spell for fast traveling of just a couple of the people in the group. Being forced to summon all will make you think twice before using it just for the selfish benefit of one or two. A way to change tags will be provided , indirectly, you will see soon what i mean. So no 'grab feature' intentionally. [b]UPDATE[/b] [b]the spell will be available through an item functionality. I just finished testing on a Death Guard Horn, and it works. This way the spell will be transferable.[/b] [b]My intention is to make it a shared item BUT make special shared items that can be grabed only based on land loyalty and return to the dispatcher once a month. Its not a final decision, i am still considering other options.[/b]

i am not sure if the era of kings is over or not, but i will dramatically reduce the number of potential candidates through what in time will become an almost automated system for hierarchy. Roles in a land is one step, this creates a hierarchy because one person has power over more, but my intention is to add several levels to this hierarchy or as many the actual number of citizens will permit. If the top of the pyramid will be stable enough, kingship might become an automatically gained role and not a voted position. This would allow anyone to climb his way up, it will give new meaning to the rebel thing, and the people ending up being leaders of that land will know better what they want and what they can do. Electing kings doesn't go well. Someone might have good intentions and think he can act as a king but KING is not PRESIDENT, and electing is more for a "president" role. Climbing your way up will filter the right attitude for such a role too. I want a more "pack leader" orientated king role this time. Because such a thing is right now to abstract to be defined, i will leave the king position unoccupied and we shall see on the way where this internal hierarchy of each land will lead us to. Maybe it won't be a king and it will be a leading council..who knows. tag will not grant citizenship, but tag will be applicable only on citizens. At this moment there is a need of "citizenship without alliance/guild", and like with all new features, it will cause changes and new needs. I shall deal with these on the way. As i said this spell is just a first step towards..whatever will be.

at this moment all lands are requested to submit this info, including necrovion

I intend to use all needed methods to exchange the notes of those that want them in cash. I mention this again ...coins will not be cloned. Consider it my fixation, but i want this issue solved from a MD point of view not from a technical point of view. For this, first step is of course to use my own coins, and second step is to put up for sale several things that are not usualy for sale. I like to view this as an opportunity for traders and not as "MD is for sale" type of things. First of all, these things are not for sale for money, but for coins. Coins you can acquire through trade, rewards, gifts and free credits not only through actual payments. In fact some of the richest players in the realm never paid for those coins. So don't even think to start with comments in that direction because i thought of this well before going this way Several things will be put up for auction, the tk will continue the creature auctions and i will do something unprecedented. I accept coin/notes "offers" for various things that are usualy not for sale. You name your price, i will decide if that thing you ask for is for sale or not, and i will post it public if i think it could be 'sold' for anyone to see and anyone to bid more. [b]I am accepting both coins and notes![/b] but only of one sort. This means that if the sale starts with silver, your bid must be in silver. any questions write here. I will post the "unusual bids" in separate threads. One example of what i mean for such a thing is "ownership of a location in md" , or "a usable item that can define a role" ..things like that, things that are not for sale, exactly because this is a very unusual situation and it should be an opportunity of some sort, like any unusual situation.

I saw you already started talks on the matter and i saw some nice ideas , some terrible ones too. I will clarify here some things on this matter. The summon by tag spell will be given in a transferable form. I am not sure how at the moment, might be something similar to stones , maybe a reusable item, i don't know. What i know is that binding it to a single player will mean to allow it to die with that player and i don't intend to do that. The "right" to use it will be transferable, and in time it will be bound to the land loyalty. [b]Once I agree to a tag it will be final.[/b] This is what i need to grant this ability to someone: - the name of the tag - this is most important. - the declared purpose of the group (or call it as you wish) - A list with names of the players that agree to receive the tag and by that to be subjects of this spell when used by whoever it will be used - The name of the initial caster that will use the spell till it will be transferable (in case i won't be able to make it transferable from the start). The fastest way is to give it as a spell with limited casts but it will be transferable hopefully till all of the lands decide on something It would be preferable that each land agrees to one tag and one person to master this spell, but in case there will be any dispute, each group is welcome to send me their list as described above .and i will pick one that i consider most suited. Most obvious question that comes to my mind now is[b] "how will the players receive their tag and is it transferable too?"[/b] . My intention is to make allow a way to change tags for this purpose, so at first no. but "soon" yes. As usual , i do not know when "soon" is. I might go on a development frenzy and finish it all today or it might take a year. Manual changing of these tags will be an option, and i will change them, till an other more automated method will be implemented. (in fact while writing this a briliant idea came into my mind and i think i might go on and do it sooner as expected ..but dont count on it please ) HOW TO SEND THE INFO ..now, as strict as it might sound, please follow this exact way or i will [b]ignore[/b] your messages and the submission entirely. It is not so hard to write a [b]clear subject line[/b], so DO IT. Once you have a list with people , the "leader" of the group who will be able to cast the spell at first, the tag and a clear description of the groups purpose, [b]EMAIL this to manu@md[/b] with the follwoing subject line (replace the keywords with the actual "values": [size=5]Summon by tag: {[color=#ff0000]Land name[/color]} - {[color=#ff0000]tag name[/color]}[/size] (if you are unable to understand what 'exact' means, use copy paste, just don't send me variations of this) Any questions i will answer here As soon as i have at least one request from each land, i will go on with granting the tags and spell. This spell is the first step of a more hierarchical and king-independent realm.

First of all, admittance into SotIS is not some greater purpose or ultimate acomplishment in MD, please stop thinking that. Nothing happens in SotIS, really, and eventually I might leave it when I will consider i built it up as i wanted it to be. It is just the personal ally of the crazy me. It has a meaning, of course, but a personal one. I just play my 'role', one I am bound to, but SotIS is just a symbol, no authority or extra benefits come with it. I consider SotIS ..CLOSED. more like a unbreakable safe.... in a way. But i have a weakness, like every system does. I keep always a secret path to the safest places. The most guarded secrets have a way to them...you know why? Because if you would somehow manage to "close" a secret fully it will simply vanish and re emerge with an other 'owner' and an other form. It is the secrecy and safety of the way in that gards them, but without a way in, they die. Admittance into sotis has many forms. One was the symbol quest, seems however guba vanished afterwards because his last challenge was one consisting of something i consider he was missing. Anyway, each time i keep a door open, but it will never be the front door. I made the symbol quest, that was one door, once it ended (and the waiting time was part of the quest), that door is closed. It follows a time of 'tranquility' but shorter than a month i am preparing an other door, till someone gets closer to it. Brulant just happend to find such a door, realise that it is his ticket in to the sotis, and asked to be admited based on that reasoning. It took him a single pm to get into sotis and quite fast. Ofcourse to reach that point it took him his entire lifetime here in md and maybe more In more details: After closing the symbol quest, that door into sotis got permanently shut (or at least for a while), and i designed the second. I left clues, leading intuitively to the other door. All i was expecting was a certain explenation about 'why the sun'. In addition it was needed that that someone would specifically ask for admitance into sotis based on that alone. Brulant sees it maybe as a coincidence, i dont know, but i know there are no such things as coincidences, there are only event collisions. I bet he doesnt realise himself why he wanted or why he is in. As shadowseeker just told me, his role might be clear for me but unclear for him, yet he asked for it. Now thats a research puzzle Nothing new! what Brulant did is nothing new as I saw others get so close to this secret door into sotis yet never try to actually open it. Doubts , lack of initiative, you name it, they passed by saying oh how beautiful this thing looks, it might be a door, but never walked in. I can recall people like Menhir or others that sparked my knowledge with very very interesting posts, i thank them, yet none realised they were admiring a door that only needed pushed to be opened, it was already unlocked at some point, indirectly, through the clues i left behind. Other people like awiiya discussed with me the very essence of the question, but this is about admitance into sotis not about how intuitively smart you can be. Admitance into sotis is not a mark of your knowledge, i have people right now in md that i would be honored to have in sotis, yet i dont, so i will never 'drag' them in just because i can do that with a word or two. The perfect candidate had to know what he wanted, to know the key, to know when to use it, and most important to know how. Even the start of the pm reminding me who he is, brulant, without assuming he is already a legend,lol, mattered. I told Awi a while back that symbolically speaking it is a great danger to allow anyone into SotIS, ever. Yet i follow my own principles and fall into my own traps if it happens. My logic is flawless and denying it when i dont like it it would mean to lie to myself. There was a door only i knew, it was used, Brulant is in. That is what gives my quest power and reality, not my name.

this actually is valid, if whenever i will open that ally admin and see guilds/aliances with two members or less i WILL click the disband button without warning. Consider this a warning.
