Muratus del Mur

yes i changed cost on some locations and also changed their land affiliation this way being part of a land will matter to enter it, gg was too accessible. mda changed too

People, in general, don't know to admit it when they do mistakes. In this case, both did, grido out of ignorance and the phantom counting on the presumed ignorance of any authority. The way people, in general, fight to defend their mistakes is similar. Those with authority show more authority or try to deviate the reasons because "they know better". Those without authority, try to move the masses in their favor, a bit of mercy here and there a bit of heroism and purpose achieved. The person of authority "wins" when "nothing changes", the person without the authority wins when others admit publicly that he/she is right, regardless of what comes next. I gave it a good thought , and the best way to analyze the matter is to put myself in Grido's place. I am sad to say that i would have acted the same. When _ANYONE_ does something bad, i oftenly punish without talking with that person first. It saves time, but most important it saves potential lies and potential hopes for a punishment that i know it will happen anyway. This apparent ignorance helps me be more strict, and in my eyes that means also fair. I am strongly biased here, I know my ways are not right and they are accepted just because its "my game". I don't know if Grido should have acted similar or not, but i do know he had the option to do so, i cant blame him for using that option, you however can. I do believe that he didn't anticipated the public reaction, and that should be a lesson for him. I also believe that Phantom did something unacceptable too, thats not in question. The hardest punishement i am capable of is public humiliation. That, for me, is part of a punishment, not a side effect i can ignore.

in my point of view, the job/role of the LHO inquisitor is meant to be measured through the effectiveness of the LHO as a group. That effectiveness can be achieved through various ways, by behaving nice, by being a cruel boss, by motivating the lho's, by scaring them, etc. It is only that effectiveness that can be linked to a potential question "is grido fit for his role?". The current poll, as a general discussion about "grido", makes more sense than a vote against his role. Not to mention that all this sounds to me as a personal grudge, probably both ways (i have no clue really, just saying how it looks like)

the medal remains

was not a punishment. he really 'asked' for it, but not a punishment. Might however hurt more than one

it is fixed

There is NOBODY currently checking your submissions. I need to put that team in place and do the necessary training to them. The spell docs ..well..i can't say where they will be but i can say they are far from being all distributed. They will be for lvl3,4, i don't think i will put any on lower levels, but i am uncertain at this moment anyway. Still plenty of clues to write, i will start however with the most interesting and fill the less interesting on the way.

When you go in a location first and cast the spell, assuming you are the only one doing so, it should work, if you cast it well (spell words followed by youtube code, preferably the method without a dash between them). However, i dont guarantee it will work a second time in the same spot , i believe it has some sort of abuse protection i thought back then, or it is simply a bug. Use it on its own risk so to say. It was initially thought for rp situations where a sound was fit to support a rp action in a way beyond what people expected. Imagine roleplaying a situation where suddenly you get your voice heard and not just the text chat, like behind an old station radio trying to "adjust the signal". Ofc that means a well prepared setup both for the soundfile to be placed on youtube and the spell cast at the suitable moment.

sweet, exactly how i wanted them

Post here if there is anything you would like me to write a research article about (clue). Coords are mandatory, but can be of any subject that fits with the place. If the subject cant be related to a location you still need to find a coord that suits it. I will use these as suggestions on what subject to address next, you wont see or receive the text if you suggested it, no reward for touching interesting points either, but the clue might get there. Don't write novels, be as short as possible please, there is no reason to write more than the coords and a couple of words with the potential clue title, from there i can handle it, if there is anything to write about that subject.

lvl3 and 4 should wait a bit longer till i add more lvl1 and 2 clues.

oh but this is just a start Right now there are so many things i intend to write, i basically set in motion the tools for my future hobby, to populate MD with such "clues". Writing things in things like a book is "bleah", there is no filter for who can read and who cant, like MD world offers, and there is no freedom for the used words of any sorts. One thing I discussed about the clues initially was to write enough that a 3y old player can see one per day, ..maybe there wont be thousands too soon, but a couple of hundreds there will still be. (some of them have nice sketches too )

yes the gender issue is hard to solve ..i hoped "him" refers to "player"..probably totally wrong.. "them" is not good either..maybe just "grab" but that sounds odd just so

should be all good now.i couldnt find an actual issue but fixed your accoutns for now. This bug will re-emerge i think

i'll try to solve this bug today, i am aware of it

You checked the PBC (Paybycash) methods? they have pretty many ways for "non-paypal" payments. Phone payments are really a killer

The title of this topic is false, should refer to the research and connections feature...why is it named about achievements..that's confusing

The nice thing about legislator items is that they have an effect also for lost cause fights not only for won fights. The lost fights will usualy weaken the target so that more won fights can be counted after. the needle is an exception actually because it has both effects as weakening. The won fights effect will usualy be a lot more serious for future items. Won and lost cause fights effects will work together. For example if people can't win against someone they could move lock him, but if they win they could push him along the future heat veins..and so on. Causes can be triggered by anyone with any fight. It is a group effort meant to show intention. It is a very communist item in a way

Lone wolf (my new item testing guinee pig) will pretty much be able to answer all your questions regarding new items. If anything uncertain he will ask me or i will answer directly.

This sikness of humanity to blame symbols for their actions is something i have no intention of dragging into MD virtual world. Avoiding the use of certain symbols because certain people understand them wrong, means perpetuating this sikness and further hiding and tainting the true meaning of things. As i hope you do realise by now, md has nothing to do with jews, arabs, nazis, christians, you name them, so that symbol in THIS context has nothing to do with any bombing or personal grudges whatsoever. You might find it disrespectful, and it would be, if it was outside MD borders, but its not. I respect symbols, its the only way to understand their meaning without freaking out and getting confused of fake meanings. Otherwise people think the pentagram is the sign of the devil, and such stupid things. I have no intention of 'educating' anyone regarding symbols, but dont consider it disrespectful that i dont bow to their ignorance and perpetuate it. Should jewish people freak out same out that the symbol on my book is basically the same in nature with the half moon? Want to hear a symbolic offence? check this out: [img]http://www.goroadachi.com/etemenanki/eg5-raelian-swastika.jpg[/img] yet , taken outside any cultural context, it has an other (strange) meaning. there is a difference between being blind and chosing to close your eyes. If you truly hate something, whatever it is, learn about it better that that thing knows about itself first. Maybe like that you will realise how pointless most grudges are.

none of the symbols used in md are used because of any of their cultural or religious meanings (in the sense _you_ understand "religious"). Symbols have value, that value was (ab)used over time. Religions or any culture in general didnt invent a symbol to suit their needs but united the meaning of a symbol with their ideology. Only later people saw things like a six pointed star as jewish and a cross as christian. The named symbol is however taken from a context, context that has nothing to do with MD but i picked it for its SYMBOLIC MEANING not for its cultural meaning. At that time it seemed appropriate, but i do intend to clean it up and make an original representation, to avoid unwanted connections. Symbols are symbols. How they are used depend on people, like weapons you know. The symbols i use, or accept to be used, in md, are there for their symbolic meaning and never ever for their cultural meaning in any way. Its true that sometimes i avoid using certain symbols because people will stop understanding and will simply freak out. On the anniversary aramor i wanted to put the swastika, not for its cultural/historic meaning but for its "clean" meaning as symbol related to the sun. Just imagine..just imagine... I used an other, more obscure symbol pointing at the same thing, its just less tainted so to say. Sadly one symbol i cant really replace, and thats the christian cross, so, when you will see things you think they have a religious meaning, remember what i said.

89) when i say i am away going on a trip or long way travel, i actually refer to a place deep inside md realm where the incomplete reality prevents me from communicating with the exterior. I never actually "go" away...what a stupid thought ..how could I..

I will take a decision on this incident when i return in one week

Aged creatures might become more valuable than they are now. If you plan to sac them now it might be a good idea to wait a bit longer and see what i mean. This is not an announcement because idk when or how exactly they will become more valuable, but its a 'tip'. The age of creatures needs to become more valuable in terms of its influence to other things in the realm, to balance certain other more recent developments. For those that enjoy seeing md in terms of a fine balance of interacting factors, i can give them a clue. Shared items do not require player age but give the power to handle resources, breaking any connection between a players age and its amount/value of his items....

I will be away 6-19 Sept. I might return sooner but i am not sure yet. I am sorry but any ongoing work (such as the shared items i left unfinished last week) or tests , will have to wait till my return. I might be online occasionaly, ofc to keep my active days I was planning to finish the shared tools i started till i go but other things came up.
