Muratus del Mur

I am sponsoring this contest with 3 awards , one for the funniest representation, one to the best looking aramor coloring, and one for the best original aramor drawing. I am just sponsoring this contest, not giving the awards myself. The sponsorship is of course, 3 aramors. Good luck. ss, please let me know once the 3 winners are decided so i will send them the ctc for their creature. Anyone else wishing to sponsor this contest please specify also what exactly should your award be awarded for (like i explained above).

its a nice idea but not original (was done in md before and its in general not an original idea). but again, it is however a nice topic, not original enough to win the aramor award, but quite nice. Looking forward to see more pics

good part: hilarious, nice joke, makes one reflect..literally bad part: what would some people do just to seem "original" for the right reward..tz tz..

Rendril will look into it when he will be able to. Until then i advise you create a new account since you just started anyway, and keep access to both so that in case this can't be fixed we will replace the playernames on those accounts and use the new one and abandon the bugged one. If you see such an error it means a lot more is probably messed up with that account. Some accounts (rare) don't save right when they are created, for some strange reason i don't know.

yup ...=)))))))

yes

i checked it also and it works fine, its probably dns issue indeed. Do other sites cause the same? Might be that the hosting provider blocks that specific hosting.

maybe it wasn't clear enough , there are no other tehnical changes done with this name change at this point. A concept change means however that certain things cant remain the same because they are now based on something else. It is good that so far i saw xp in a different way and now this is just a name change because other things , like losing "xp" are already in place. This concept change also reveals a lot more about so many things in md, that without "heat" made no sense in connection with the rest of the world. The most beautiful example is liquid dust seen as counterbalance of heat. It explains the four fold balance in md quite nice. player - heat - liquid dust - shades, become now more clearly connected and poles of the same balance model.

And here it is, it happend

eventually oil will run out muahhahahahaha

Well..lets put it this way. My country (more exactly our supreme military council) decided we should stick our nose too in this war. I have no idea what makes us capable of deciding an other nations fate especially that other nato countries did not want to get involved (so its possible). I am totally against such actions, when a country attacks an other country without actually having a personal reason to do so. I find it lame and i am ashamed i have to say this about my country, but its the way i see it. It is typically American to bomb an other country for a pretended reason and then pretend to help them, sadly i see everybody else is following the "American example" now. if you consider my post racist or out of place you can delete it, but THIS is my opinion about the matter.

First of all, stopping such a thing means technically shifting it towards a black market not actually stopping it..lets be realistic. Plus from my point of view its far better to be credits than cash between players. I totally disagree that people with money should be able to buy off their achievements and thats why certain things will never become trade-able. Also think of this in this way, the people that are selling this stuff get the credits to spend, they kind of deserve it. Those buying a rare drach of completing their morph collection or whatever, wont be able to do that too much and i don.t believe they are a real threat. I am open to suggestions anyway, but keep in mind i will not put a rule against something that cant be proved and that is not actualy cheating. You will have to be creative about this. One idea I can think of are alternate ways to increase achievement value, one example would be "initial owner" and "creature devotament" sort of features... tehnicaly there are ways to demoralize buyers from buying their way up, but i have doubts if their way is aimed to be up and if this is a smart thing to do at all.

when you watch a sculpture a second time, is it identical? Of course it is , you just discover more details and see things you might have ignored. With complex messages is even more so, but the basic structure is there always.

I just want to confirm there is not hidden change, all items cost 1$, its all how it was , in fact show wasn't touched in ages so ... anyway, if you can pinpoint the exact issue if it is one, Rendril will fix it asap, but till you know what caused it its too hard to guess randomly what should be fixed.

i wonder... if next time i keep to the advertised 3 winners method and period. Would everyone be happier? Because now i gave prizes to absolutely everybody participating in the tombola and somehow it seems to me you are still...'unsatisfied'. Maybe its because after 20hours of work i get a little angry , or maybe i am right, idk, but for now i think this 100% winning rate wont happen again. Anyway, I couls't read all of this (sorry about that) but i will answer to the few passages i did read. - tombola per payment method is fair because some people have no way of participating to the tombola even if they can support md through an other payment method. Shifting around from paypal to paybycash to whatever will be next, not only gives a chance to everyone but also changes the odds of the tombola. Some payment methods are rearely used, so those have a huge win chance. If i mix all together it will be always the same big amount of people that could get a ticket, again, and again. Ok, lets not call it fair.. i am kind of bored to justify why i think something is fair or not in md, take it as it is, you will defenetly enjoy it more if you do. Probably then you will understand what my point was. I was thinking to make fixed clear and written rules for the next tombola, but wait...who is forgetting how things work here? me or you or both of us? You will have to trust me, because my honest intention is to keep things ...interesting (lets not say fair). I am basically uncoruptible and just to be sure i added the "highest payer" category to avoid any possible temptation that someone says one day, "here is 1000$ give me a wining spot". I gave random prizes to those that didnt win anything, granulated the remaining ones and put in other extractions and other and other and then in the end i called them "consolation prizes". Its actually totaly unfair, but if i hear one of you complaining why an other one won while he won also i will ripp his head off. Envy on a festive event simply doesn't fit in my notion of morality.

u are not on the wrong track. the void is the forth gate, the purpose, etc. there SO MANY ways to define the forth gate. "gate" is a term i use because of many reasons, but don't see just as a entrance/exit, thats something else. [ascii art removed, i will make a proper image her] its actually not the north its the "east" (for reasons that hold the key) but heh..some might have a heart attack if i say everything on a forum )) now..i go get wasted, the opposite of Zen kind of way )

*bows* thank you everybody

words are so incomplete to describe something i could normaly decribe in one second face2face, but its a good exercise for me to try put it in writing, helps me map the mechanics of it. think of fractals... each repeats same symbol over and over again, inside its shape, neverending. But notice something... each subshape, or how you call it, has one entrance to it, where the line comes in and where it exists so it can continue its purpose and create more sub shapes....that is the fourth gate! yey, i said it quite well i think, i should take notes haha ok so, in a fractal, only one has the gate closed, the outer shape where it all started from. Closing a subshape within a fractal causes an independent system with its own outershape. dont get confuse, outer shape and inner sun are basicaly the same thing symbolically speaking once you get the concept. fractals are a good example , both 2d and 3d... but its actualy the best when time kicks in ..4d shapes..sadly i can see them mentally but i cant yet describe them in words. a 4d shape consists of two perspective , both opposing eachother, end unites with beginning and beginni g with end, its sort of a gradient of feelings. this will get offroad if i go into 4d shapes at this point so lets get back to symbols...fractals, best example of the fourth gate without using the perfection of the circle in the equation.

note: i must add, if mp6 will end up reflecting sotis ideology , sotis will be disbanded to avoid conflict because mp6 might end up to be sotis ..in a way . my intention is to bring md to my initial "dream" .now that i know how. recruitment is delayed for good reasons. i have the answers ready to post but holding them a bit longer. thanks to curioise that helped me centralize all the data i will answer everyone in one big doc, commenting each drawing submitted. dont worry, i wont destroy or mix a guild with a mp level. its more complicated than that

luke, remove the questionmark and you got your answer right there. --- awi, brulant - rumi answered about the 3 points in a way , here is an other if you base the circle on two points, the third will be unavoidably its middle...but the middle is not a point, it is a place. By just two points you define a circle but an other circle could be drawn going through those two pointa as well.. when you have three points, only one circle can touch them all in one. there are 4 in fact because : "walk" on a circle, you will find 2 points diametrally opposed, and two points perpendicular direction, all these 4 directions are unique and in a way they are all opposed to each other. north and south are opposed but yet the same axis, west and east are opposed yet the same axis, north vs east are like apples and ..bricks... even more different, nothing in common, same for the other combinations. In essence the cross symbol, symbol that is ofently combined with a circle btw. This is short and fast explenation, i could detail, in case why four points on a circle is not clear enough... from these 4, only 3 are needed. any 3, because in our terms "nothing" else is needed to define the circle, a plane, a system, etc. but in other words what this means is exactly what it sais, the fourth point is no longer needed, if you have the other 3, its the void. symbolically is this a Cross cancels the circle. a T cancels the 3 points and an other circle cancels the void on top, creates chain reaction (nested is the name?) Ankh symbol excuse my english at 5am on a subject i am not sure i know anymore what to say ajd what to shutup about. while typing on phone..lol. if you get the meanigs, good, if not , even better.

mp6 change won.t come too soon. making mp6 more accessible doesnt mean at all to lower adept requrements, that will only lower its quality. The ideas i have however, are so drastic that they cant be made partial and finished later, they need to be done all in one fast and big update. clues: 6 = 7 7 = 5 = 7 , illusion vs protector highly dependent on xp concept change, that one needs to be done first not open for debate yet.. just hope my memory will not give fatal error till then, or i will forget the awsome things i have in mind for the "rare" mp levels now

its a valid question however. the 3 points of balance in md plus the point of void. Now think of the land balance, 3 elements to forge the missing 4th.anyway long story. "The Sun" is the center source of energy proportional to the point of void that got closed and also relevant to whatever the system is made of. Maybe not the best words but i will work on that later. Lets give an example tottaly out of the ordinary...creativity. Creativity's SUN so to say is amplified directly proportional to the point of void, which is dependent on the medium/holder/"operating system"/i cant find the right word here. In humans is pain, suffering, it amplifies creativity. Well being and luxury kills it (unless the luxury hides emotional pain or some other sort of frustrations/drama). In design, graphic design, same principles apply. In programming, well here its harder to explain because by definition programs have to follow a purpose, well defined purpose. As soon as you create the point of void, the creation will drag its structure towards that purpose and create the central source, its "sun". In a material word, its what we call a star in cosmic sense, like our sun. There are so many things that derive from that, so..many..

yes, here you should discuss just this particular answer. about the gate yes ....and no...its kind of a secret however gates, in all meanings, change spontaneously always, not progressive btw, the gate closes when we die too, but death is not igniting the star i am talking about so, why , how .etc..these are things hard to discuss over a forum considering the most part of the "dictionary" of terms is not existant in same way for each person

Each member of SOTIS will be asked to provide his own answer to this neverneding question. Here is mine, it is a personal view and not the "correct" or "wanted" answer. I post it here so you can comment it, but for answering "Why the sun?" and sharing YOUR answer to this, please use the dedicated topic NOT THIS ONE. (no exceptions) [b]Each system hold a point of void, a gap in the circle that symbolises it. The error, the "nothing" is part of each system, regardless if the system we talk about is a logic system in programming, or life, or a mechanical system, or planetary, etc. Each circle has 4 gates, 4 points on its line. Three of them are "plus" and one is "minus/zero", in a logical sense not a mathematical one. You need just 3 points to define a circle in space, just 2 to create "a circle" but each circle holds a forth point, the gate outside the system. When this gate closes, the "minus" rebalances to "plus" the infinite void turns into infinite energy. (Don't argue about notion of infinity, in this case i refer to highest source of something, the SUN is the source) I missed several explenations but i left enough for those that can undersand the message. Afterall this will be a secret SOTIS text. A star can be ignited in nature, but most of all, a star can be ignited inside of each system. Humans are individual systems, there is a "inner sun" ..if you know what i mean. Soldiers of the Inner Sun is all about the "star" inside of each one of us.[/b] [i]Private/personal answer to "Why the sun?", part of Soldiers Of The Inner Sun guild documents. -- Mur[/i]

[b]I will post my version of the answer in a separate topic. It is not "correct" answer or the "best" or the one i am expecting or whatever such thing. As I said, sotis members will be asked to provide their OWN answer to this question and this answer defines them, its hold their personality and views. Feel free to continue the discussion here, and use the other topic just to comment that particular answer, not the question itself. I hope I made myself clear.[/b]
