Muratus del Mur

"sort of" - to both of the above posts. that man was throwing himself, i just put a plank under his feet to make it integrated with the landscape

About legend speakers: I might have gone to hard on the legendspeakers. I dont argue their individual activity in different areas as players, but their activity to the purpose of the guild..and here is not the topic for this. About my made up rules: Yes I probably do rules as we go, if you like to see it this way. I like to see it that i follow a path and sometimes rules need to be added or ignored to keep to that path..but the path never changes. To lead means to be able to do that, otherwise you are just a good follower of rules, not a leader. MD is a ship and i am its captain. You learn to steer a ship according to rules to get from point A to point B, but in action you sometimes need to bend the rules or the rules change independently of you as you go and you need to adapt otherwise your path changes even if you followed the rules perfectly. Nature forces are what cause rule bending for a ship, player actions are what cause it in MD. About council agreeing or not: If i remember right I think they wished for elections as this was the normal thing to do. However they know that the odd decisions belong to me and this was not a very normal situation either. I am fully responsible for what and why happened.

one initial idea was two masks one while (contour) and one black (filled) intercalated one into an other..like a theatre symbol..but thats the problem, too much similar to a theatre...and that is not the point or a mask with 3 faces , would be highly accurate to the concept of shades, and quite dark, but..but i saw this once in a movie and i cant stand to copy others. It was an alien race very very much necrovion-like. Or a mirror mask,..but impossible to draw as a symbol keep thinking, your ideas are putting my brain in motion

I wasn't even refering to the legend speakers, lately thats just a reason for a nice logo in my opinion, not much more. There is inno that tries hard to do things now and then, and the others that keep the ally as a trophy of times long gone. I was refering to the citizens that not very long ago cryied about whats going on with their land and now i haven't seen a damn reaction. The only involvement i saw was from a couple of people before the events...people involved directly with the events. Azull for example, he was recommended by jester as the next king, i told jester he cant name the next king directly, but if he was aiming for the kingship i would have expected him to react somehow for nc citizens..like for example ask that their citizenship is maintained..anyone could have asked that (before i announced it will) but him most of all should have asked that...thats just an example. You like to stay and watch and wonder what would happen to you next but dont move a finger. I dont refer to all of you but i cant give names about who was actively involved in this, trying to actually keep necrovions integrity despite what was going on, but i know. From my point of view it was a test in a way, a test to prove "rebel" means basically nothing more than a personal grudge and not a real concern for the land.

- a shade, well, they have no shape - a mirror...you draw that as a SYMBOL i have no idea how - @SS ..yeah..but you see..that symbol you refer at isn't quite familiar in md, and looks very much alike some satanic symbols that have nothing to do with necrovion, it will cause confusion and bring nc meaning further away from its path.

I might be strongly biased on this matter (because of personal reasons and what nc means from my point of view) and it seems i can't reach a conclusion about what should be Necrovions coat of arms, symbol. This is an open request for suggestions, either graphical or in words, but keep it simple and clear, don't write novels to explain. Maybe one of you will see something i missed or suggest a symbol or meaning that i can develop upon and create a suitable logo integrated with the other lands.

as i see nobody from necrovion, with or without a king, bothered to document the recent major events involving necrovion in necrovions historic documents section. If the fall of a land is not historic enough for you..no comment, as i thought. dont pretend later you still want to be nc citizens or that you are interested in what happens with it.

its normal to be this way. you should not be able to see individual coin description clearly but also not impossible if you really want to. Coins same as in rl represent same value but might be different editions or even collectable. It will be possible at a later time to develop tools to determine a coins rarity or "evaluate" an antique based on this info. Consider it a potential role opportunity for later.

as alway, i am bidding just once, just so you know im out 101 is bigger that 100

Drach lair was closed and forbidden from entering there, it was specifically said so. Necrovion is "closed" meaning its _almost_ impossible to enter, i never said you are not allowed to enter. When you are not allowed to enter it means you are not allowed to enter even if gate is wide open with a big sign "we have cookies". It is not the case here. Closed means the door is closed, or apartially closed as you noticed, i will however consider it closed from a political point of view, there wont be events there, there wont be any rescue missions there, you enter on your own risk and i will continue to do "partially effective" efforts to keep people out without ruling them out. If you suddenly get kicked out from there to a distant land or crushed by a 1000% skilldamage shade with 1min attacks , its your own problem, i wouldnt be able to take any complains about that since its CLOSED anyway. 666 was jesters wish while he was still operative so to say...so 666 is it. I would have put maybe more, maybe less, but still ap lock not closed gate.

100 silver

yes i did so, as soon as it was properly announced. The items suffered several changes so i had to reset them to their place. Now they should "stay" as they are

yeah the pass papers need to be either removed or changed. An immediate change would be to make them teleport from in front the gate to inside gg making them ignore land viscosity its beyond the functionality of an item and i will probably not do it for now. i am open to other suggestions too

the way shared tools will work cant be predicted accurately unless enough time passes. At this point my opinion is this.. if resources will keep to remain depleted over large periods of time, it means people can cooperate and they should "suffer" by not having the resources they try to get (because they are depleted). There is the possibility that certain people will try to keep resources depleted to increase their market price, also fine, afterall its their right to use the tools as they wish to. However even if tools wont be limited by "words/law" in any way , as i said already on different occasions, they will be indirectly limited by the ..situation. Think of it, there are large amounts of resources for the resources i intend to be more common. Gathering them ALL would mean, except depleting them , also a large movement and activity on the map. Regenerable things such as resources and the periodically available shared tools mean in a way "consumable activity" . REGARDLESS how they will be used, they will either cause no problems or cause a great deal of activity that would balance the caused problems. seen from a player perspective , there could be problems. Seen from a more global (cubical in md case) perspective, things will be well integrated, or so i will make them be. Also you are forgetting one detail. MD's capacity to bring new tools and activities is greater than its number of players. The chance that any given group of players could takeover a certain area of activity, like create a "tea monopoly" for example, would only turn into a role, not into a problem, as many many more activities and resources will become available.

as i said ..i changed the recipe quite a lot, specify the changes you made, just the changes, so i can make them in my new version of the recipe. thnx

new line added to the recipe format in $instr['step_replies'] "ingredients_ready" => 'We are currently ready to prepare %s. Ingredients provided: %s)',

yea ss is kind of right, but more steps is always better . the tea recipe changed tonight, i will post the new one later if its still unfinished or announce it if its ready you can suggest modifications if needed after that

then claim your right and make this recipe right, avoid tea to be brewed like an abomination by some unexperienced tea drinker (no offence in any way to the original creator of the recipe)

in the tea market , Tribunal lands, you can get teapots and tea recipes (!) the problem is the recipe is or might be wrong. i adapted one submited that was using rainwater and was slighlty different here is the code, feel free to review it and make it better for this purpose. tea shpoulf comsumr water and tea leaves to create 3 cups of tea, tea will be consumable with temporary boost [code] <?php //adapted to md world $instr['title'] = "Aromatic Tea"; //the description will be the only thing to describe the needed steps to the ones that try to help you prepare the recipe //be sure you include all steps in it but tell it so that they wont be identical words with the steps defined below $instr['description'] = " Firstly, put in the leaves, covering the teapot's base with them.

if you can somehow change ip and md still looks down , then is a gov issue indeed, happend before, some sites are labeled dangerous ...uuuuu,,, if you can tchange ip ti might be ip is baned due to unusual activity, email me your ip at manu@md and i will look into it.

how the resources are managed for optimal performance, or to whom or how they are sold, thats something that has nothing to do with that announcement. I simply asked kings to avoid putting rules on who gets what tools. For example, LR might be tempted to put a rule like "only lr citizens can get tools from the capital" or "woodcutting should be done only by...etc" Because shared tools are supposed to be used by anyone that gets them, land rules cant possibly apply the same way to everyone and it would be a political mistake to issue land rules regarding them, when only citizens are punishable. I hope that makes things more clear

its how it already works ss, think of the sand to glass process, the more you have the more you waste

true, but you should get out of there without drachs .. anyone with a send to gazebo spell can bring you out or if indy gets out and you jump to her is also possbile. reporting it publicly saves you of any trouble, you just saw a rare place , hoped you like it. now run

herbs done. you can share opinions on this topic and discuss current herbs classification if needed. It is possible to add as many types as needed but please check previous posts about what was already discussed before you post something about that. Changing current herb types is not something i will do so adding yes, removing no.

status update cauldron tests are fully functional and ready for bug testing. The test recipe that works is the stuffed eyeballs one, has just 2 steps for the test, its set to use the test resources OR the fenths. The 3 people i gave the cauldrons for testing can start testing it. PEace, you got the file for the elixir recipe, that works too, share with the rest. I will be busy with some things till you have some results on the test, then i will start fixing what needs to be fixed at the cauldron (what bugs you might find) and add more recipes. I will start making usable cauldron items already, with recipes based on existing materials first.
