Muratus del Mur

fixed all, please check and if its still not fixed post again just cr id.

this topic is now closed, anyone that did not bothered even to write in this topic is clearly not interested enough to receive a gift. TK will contact those i selected and dispatch them their late gifts.

Currently i have no time to deal with this situation, so i ask council to step in and do something. While doing so please consider the following: - king items were not given on time so taking them away will be done with considerable delay too - kings are no longer kings, even if they do have the items. They don't have the right to decide, but they have the power to do. There is no restriction on how items are used once you have them. - when taking abilities and tools away from ex-king, it was in my intention , and i pass it as my personal wish to whoever will finish this update, to give them something like one more round of each of their ability to use as they please for a last time ANYTIME this happens. This for example can be achieved by cloning king items and set them to vanish after a set number of uses. Please keep a non-limited copy on my account (Muratus del Mur) to be ready for whatever leader will be later). Yrthilian is to keep his item creating ability and i am willing to grant Firs the right to keep one of his king abilities but only if it is perfectly fitted to his role from now on (to be discussed anytime, contact me in january when you can). The king crown will remain as a medal for all people that ever reached kingship. In case I removed it by mistake from an ex king, contact me to put it back. That being said, the remaining tools and abilities can now be removed

Oh NOW is simple for me to decide! all the listed scenes will get something, in addition to whatever other sponsorship i already gave to this event. It won't be of trade value, but more of personal value. The reason is plain and simple. seeing all these pics made happy, and kept making me happy each time i stumbled upon this post. Just seeing them made me feel a lot more of Christmas spirit than i had at home this year, so..if i keep refreshing this page a couple of times i might tripple my reward..just.because.i.can. Since i didnt get anything for christmas -ha, yeah, i was not so nice to santa it seems- now i am sorry i didnt asked santa for these pics, with author name on them, emailed in a nice packing ..bad santa. i should reprogram to read my mind too.

@nadrolsky: i am talking JUST about gifts handed out by santa manually not the gift boxes under the tree. So if you didnt get one yet from santa, and you were there, you can get it. @mr mystery: funny..funny...at least you admit it, yes you could have... IF you would have been there to take it., still can if its the case @luke: santa gave things away TWO DAYS . each year in same spot. If you missed that is not because you were far away but because you probably ignored or forget about it.

that is not a fixable issue, it has to do with the google translation engine and the way it treats our requests from time to time. Can anyone confirm same PERMANENT bug? otherwise i will consider it is happening just sometimes just to some. If the bottles cant be fixed they will be obviously removed.

Opening folder, secret mission codename "confused santa" [color=#ff0000]Assigned operatives: [/color] [b]*BFH Lightning*[/b] for having vast experience with event organizing in MD, [b]Seigheart [/b]for having experience as TK leader with reward giving and distribution of values in MD [color=#ff0000]Assets and tools:[/color] A list with CTCs for a very large selection of MD creatures belonging to all the creature breeds in MD. Santa account holds the unused treasury for many years Powerful tools to cast spells and manage abusers just in case. A vast set of assorted spells if needed to be used while i was away. [color=#ff0000]Implied rules:[/color] Normally when when i tell to a veteran or to someone that already knows how things work, "go wild, have fun" I know i can count on certain assumed/implied rules that I no longer need to mention. For example if a god account (not the case here, but similar) has a ban spell or ability to create items, "go wild" doesnt mean to "really" go wild. The assumed rules here are simple, whatever gifts you give try not to favor anyone in particular , try not to transfer them to backup accounts (steal them), try not to give away in large amounts creatures I consider very rare) [color=#ff0000]Internal rules for this mission:[/color] - one creature per account, not more. - priority have the people that were supposed to get things from the tree gifts but due to the alt check and activity filters did not - there were enough gifts for all, everyone should have received SOMETHING - check the creature id provided before giving a creature, obviously, to know what you give - have fun anyway else you desire (assumed rules apply), since santa account is "confused", he can play drunk, wild, whatever, its part of his role. [color=#ff0000]Organizing:[/color] [b]preparations: [/b]This mission was assigned ad-hoc, minutes before midnight. None of them, neither bfh or seigh knew about what will come, even if they might have hoped to play santa account previously, i never told any it will actually happen till the last moment. [b]communication:[/b] I contacted BFH and Seigh over YM, sadly that was [b]my[/b] first mistake. Since my conference feature on ym was broken/inactive due to reasons that are not relevant now, i told both of them what they need to do, but during a chat with each one. Some info i told to one some to the other, and i asked them to talk to eachother and get things organized and fast. [b]access to the tools and codes:[/b] Both had full access to the santa account and were allowed to speak on it simultaneosly if wanted, that fits with the 'confused' nature of the "confused santa" name. Rendril provided a list with CTC codes to all santa creatures. There was a misscommunication at first and this list had no creature type ids on it. In a couple of minutes that cid was there and I told seigh to use it to determine the creature types before giving them out. [b]ISSUE: [/b]Somehow, i have two ymsg accounts in my list for seigheart. One is the real seigheart while the other person is not him. When talking to who i thought it is seigheart i actually talked to that other person. That person had no idea i was thinking i am talking to seigheart, contacted bfh as instructed and carried on with the instructions. Same did the "true" seigheart but only with the half of the info he received after that first seigheart went inactive. So in short, information aimed for two prepared people was scattered due mainly to may fault, and a wrong contact in ym, to 3 people instead of 2. [color=#ff0000]Results:[/color] [b]BFH dispatched a total of 83 creatures, seigheart about 9, and i that other person (name won't be disclosed unless needed) i estimate he dispatched about 40 creatures. none of them knew they were supposed to check what creatures they are and probably thought any from that ctc list are rewards. In fact, that list contained both regular creatures (hold there for ageing) and low id, rare or unreleased creatures and similar. I had to take those back, (rider is now extinct btw). There is only one logical solution to fill the replaced gifts with equal value and minimize the damage. MORPHS. morphs are themed winter creatures, they were way to rare till now, they have a real value as a creature because when we talk about morphs we talk about 12 DIFFERENT creatures all as snowmans, with similar yet different stats and sometimes different ability power. Even if now morphs are more common, to really collect a morph you need to have all 12 variations. Also morphs are not tradeable once morphed, this makes them a lot safer on the market than any other creature. Morphs were the only creature that could have been used to flood the market and fix this ..mess. They are still valuable, as you will realise eventually, they are just more reachable. I placed just about under 50 morphs more, this means a lot less considering each morph can be one in 12 creatures. No other creature could have taken this "hit" while still remaining valuable as a creature in terms of rarity and market value.[/b] [b]EVERYONE should have gotten something..except of course the alts. Santa (controlled this time by 3 people thinking they are 2) , gave out a total of 130 creatures more or less... i saw at most 75 online people... Santa was on at various time intervals to cover for all timezones. If you didnt get your gift "in time" it doesnt mean you were not due to get one. Santa gave gifts also the second day and eventually covered all active.. ACTIVE... md population. I saw fossils come out now to pic their christmas gift, but otherwise they never come at all...thats not nice and that doesnt mean "active". If you received a worthless or bugged creature that is because as i already explained, the santa was so confused that he didnt knew he had to check the creature type ids first, communication error.[/b] [color=#008080]Edit: anyone that somehow still received nothing for christmas, and he is bery sure of that, not an alt, and not a fossil that came on just for christmas, pls post here and i will "fix" this asap. Something that was supposed to be a very happy event turned into a bad one for some, its still not to late to be fixed, especially that the error was not intentional[/color]

mp2 testing/experiment ended ages ago. ALL MP2 are to be locked on spot. not even jail , i mean account lock permanently. To allow a certain level of 'unexpected' this wasn't done by a mass db update but it to be done manually each time an mp2 is seen. Simple as that. nothing new. p.s. mp2 in gg, for those that have access over a bot account, thats something else, they should stay in gg, but wont get locked. From what i know there is just one such account so i bet its not the case.

All the accounts (regardless if they are still active or not) currently over the 1k credits count: Akasha BigC Shoeps MRG Eon Zleiphneir Ailith Mystic Kyphis Dayredeemer Handy Pockets *Shemhazaj* sasha lilias Yoshi Nava Azull Both current and spent credits were counted. Credits mean md credits not just payments. For example a subscription means a lot more credits than fixed payments. Free credits, gift credits, rewards, all count to the same amount too. The items in this shop will be emailed to all of these people one by one and based one. The list will also be made public. For the start there is a limit of one spent credits shop item per player. The value of such a ticket will be 100 or 200 credits (not decided yet). This means that if you have 1000 credits you have 10 or 5 tickets and you will be able to spend just one on this 'round'. If the ticket will be the equivalent of 100 credits , the items will be obviously less valuable than if it will be equivalent of 200 credits. Don't expect things to value 100 or 200$ , this is a SPENT CREDITS shop meaning you already got something for those credits in the regular shop, this is a bonus. It will be however a generous list i hope. (item list will be posted in a couple of days)

not sure if you are aware of the fact that stealing will be eventually possible through dedicated items and associated skills ... interesting to see how it can be done without those upcomming 'toos' disclaimer: even if i apparently encourage such activities, i am not. I am encouraging out of the box thinking and "walking on the edge" sort of things, but as Tipu said, its your own risk to do so..... eventually there will be a situation where there will be shared tools or interface provided features that will actually get you in jail if used and you get caught

ok it seems in the last minute you ppl decided to become more active, great.. I will name the winner for the level 3 & 4 santa now. Initially i wanted level 5 maybe but i think its enough. Z, your creature is perfect for something i wanted for this period too, but not for santa, contact me asap to discuss this. [b]THE WINNERS ARE:[/b] [b]dragonrider[/b] [b]duxie[/b] [b]Congratulations![/b] P.s. I summoned you in-game so we can discuss the details. Thank you all for participating, everyone that posted a drawing here will receive something for their effort You will be contacted by the TK soon.

I got the picture, poll can be closed now. Thank you

closed but never delete, i still intend to make it real one day

inteded wp rarity, to be achieved over time: 4wp easy achievable, 8-12wp most active, more than 12 the elite. The interface shows nicely just a part of these but that will be adjusted. Manda said something interesting, about pimping the morphs. What if I make the morphs b/w in the wish shop only, then in md-shop a 'color drop' that will turn to color one of the b/w morphs in your inventory. The b/w morphs will be unable to fight, the colored will be as they are now. The spent credits shop is still far from being ready. In this period i won't be able to do it anyway. Plus, the morphs are a winter creature, i don't want morphs to be available in summer or any other time. p.s. we need to change the use of the name morph, It refers to an ability not to a creature , these are basically all snowman and there will be other creatures to 'morph', just a remark.

on a second thought, i might make a new spell just for them to allow direct transfer of things easy (by id for example)...

contest ends today, if you have any more artworks, now is the time to post them

i intend to put morphs into mdshop, this period only, deepest item (before gold). They are colored creatures, their place is in shop afterall. Because there are so many variations (12) , i could splitt them up in two...but i am not sure if thats a good idea. opinions please (i will still do as i think best, but i need to see what you think its best)

nice.

its 'funny'..there i this grudge against the TK, and you are voting against the tk having spells, but you are forgetting that these spells are aimed to make YOUR life easier not the tk's. With a spell, (any) the time your reward reaches you depends on the tk (meaning you can blame them!), without a spell you will have to travel yourself to get your reward, camp there, etc... Based on this poll i will give, or won't give, a chase or summon spell to the tk. However, they need to have either headquarters or spells, can't deny them both because they need to function,regardless how much you hate the idea.

that is so amazing. 7 morphs to best seven artists (one each). p.s. this is not tk sponsorship its personal. morphs will be passed to organizer NOW. p.s2: why so much? because its something anyone can do, its fun, its THEMED to current period

i think you got something very wrong so let me clear this out a bit: [b]NO UNANNOUNCED QUESTS WILL GET SPONSORED.[/b] The sponsorship is for quests that already managed to get some sort of reward up. Is it more clear now? Part of making a quest relates to how you manage to reward it yourself or how others support it. TK's role is to come as a supplement NOT TO REPLACE player supported rewards. I thought i made that very clear in the announcement, apparently not. there are many reasons why so, but i let you figure the rest out on your own.

duxie, that one isnt indeed. but its ancient and i didnt changed it because of that. However i want new artworks to be full body like the majority of the creatures .

some are very very nice, keep posting i will eventually do more in batches when i will continue with this

tk stoc is at least one year old when it comes to christmas creatures. You are not buying the age here because[u] tk will not guarantee it[/u], but thats just a bonus, usualy the creatures given to tk are ancient. I say tk can't guarantee the age because in some cases if tk has just the codes and i made a mistake and the creature behind that code is from a new batch, than its bad luck because i don't take complains. Anyway, there is no recent batch, all are ancient. This auction is in gold coins only because as you already complained in other topics you want notes exchanged into coins , BUT there is not enough cash in the treasury, so seigh is actively trying to fill the treasury with gold... asked me about coins, i told him he knows what he can do , handle it, thats why. THEN, i remembered notes should have same value as coins, and its no excuse not to accept them, because that would make them less valuable then coins, SO.. asked him to take both coins and notes, and i will burn the notes, use just the coins. I will do everything possible not to "forge" coins or creatures, that way they keep they value. So as long as possible tk will replenish their gold stock back, notes will be taken off the market slowly, by being destroyed or kept in treasury for later use if needed. Same way, creatures are created in large stocks at certain times, then that stoc runs slwoly out. Just on very rare occasions creatures were mutated from aramors, but i try not to do that anymore. You should know that the coins have a serial, a year and other personalzied detailed embeded into them just not visible. Forging a coin would destroy the beauty of those things and at later times when there will be a role or a tool to investigate the details behind a tool, false coins will pop up, not very nice. thats why tk needs coins and i am not simply multiplying them in the db. Ofc i could make a script and eventually do it, but where would be the fun in avoinding false coins then? Now if you excuse me i have better things to do than babysit seigheart just because you have to comment on his every move.

i am not aware to what methods tk uses to make things more organized , like the form you are talking about. Reading requests is very time consuming and VERY deceiving. People , with their best intentions, have no clue of what to ask or what their quest value really is, neither does the tk, but they need to anticipate that value. The value of a quests means the level of fun and the right feeling it gives to the people attending it. i sponsor people, TK sponsors quests. It can't be anyway else, sadly. I cant ask anyone to sponsor people , that would be just wrong, thats something only me should do in md. I would sponsor you, because you show potential. ..and i did if i rememebr right for the "free glass distribution for Halloween". (well that was a gift because that wasn't a quest either) You do a lot of fuss for nothing , Passant the weak, for a "noob" quest maker i will worry if your arguing skills will grow proportionally with your questmaker skills. A quest maker gains reputation...its not a skill its not a series of points, its how others see you. If you keep doing interesting things, you will be more and more respected and your quests will be attended by more people with more enthusiasm. After i will talk with him regarding why "who killed eon" was not sponsored, i will know more. tk is still trying to find ways to adapt to my demands. forms, rules...anything to make it less subjective exaclty because everyone complains or stands at a queue to complain next. Its seigheart afterall, the ex convict, you must complain about something or you won't feel right. I guess with the kings doing nothing it was far better than with someone actually starting to do something..
