Muratus del Mur

I am glad you asked all those questions, because I wanted to answer them. 1) the number of tickets you have is exactly the number of transactions you see in your paypal account. I will use directly the paypal logs for the extraction. The winner will be selected based on a random number picked probably by one of you that will be online at that time, or something like that. There is no need to be paranoid, if i want to cheat such a tombola i can simply give the rewards directly, i can actually do that , remember? So stop being paranoid. 2) It is indeed a conflict of concept, but please do not mistaken these prizes with something you can purchase. You will never find WPs or these rare occasion creatures in the shop, otherwise they will not be rare but only "premium". I am careful about the values and their proportions in MD, but hard times require such measures. This is an event , not a shop... 3) The reason I placed one ticked per transaction is not to encourage small transactions but to give equal chances to those that pay 5$ and those that pay more. The tax is considerably higher but thats not a problem. 4) Md is sustained in high proportion by a small group of veteran players that are constantly supporting it regardless if they need the credits or not. I should have simply awarded them a few rare creatures directly, but i am not. I will treat both paying members and nonpayong the same always, remember that. You see when paying members get an opportunity like this but you don't see all the other things I do for members that cant or wont pay anything...what can i say. Again, and again, md is far from being a money machine. Because you complain, please listen and listen good. I am forced to put such things up, like a tombola or payed reward codes, because we are short of some money this month (I will detail the exact required payments to those concerned) , not to mention Rendril deserves a bonus and i am unable financially to give it to him. I have a few other things to use in emergency situations but I am running out of options fast. I am sick and tired of this, if you feel more confortable considering md a money hungry machine, do whatever you think. I used to tell you these things openly and discuss them, but i am sick of sounding like a crying granny and complain about md not having enough money to SURVIVE. This is probably the last time i will justify such a thing. Md costs are of about 1k$/month and without advertising (that costs a lot more than tha), its slowly going down, and its being on that path for a very very long time. The small number of loyal players that come daily is very limited and already supported md financially on -too many- occasions. The solution is to have more players, then things would be different... but we don't and i dont forsee better times. You are complaining about me destroying some concepts in md for the love of money..or something along that line... well think also that after years of building and maintaining MD maybe i could have used such money raising occasions to live out of it, myself i mean, it looks as if its a business afterall. Well i am not, money that comes in md is used for md. Considering that i am currently psychologically incapable of working anything anymore, I could have at least enjoyed a salary supported from my own business, WELL I AM NOT. The only luxury i enjoy from md financial part , right now, is the fact that there is a programmer that can take care of things, and that i sometimes can pay some periodic online thigns such as the countless domains i gathered over the years and never developed, a lot of them in connection with md. Excuse me for being angry, but if you think the tombola is abnormal, suggest a better way. ps. i will read your remarks again when i am less nervous, dont get me wrong, i really appreciate your feedback and it matters...just the situation makes me want to say fu and such.

I don't need the ip's anymore, i thought it was only for some connections that it didnt worked but i was wrong. Because i was somewhere with almost no internet i couldnt check more. Hosting sais they sent a warning email two month before this event announcing the datacenter migration but i somehow missed it. Everything should be fine now.

36) Your computer doesn't run MD, MD runs your computer. bbg (browser based game) is now gbb (game based browser) , welcome to the concept of mirrors, "resistance is futile"...ruM revo.

21. there are no secrets, but making noobs think there are keeps them curious. (read show of force topic if you start believing this to much lol)

14. this project belongs actually to the chinese army that is trying to keep americans and europeans busy while they take over the world. EVIDENCE: there is no chinese translation of MD 15. Mur is actually a pseudonym for a group of people taking turns on one character to screw with your mind and avoid profiling 16. Fyrd Argentus is an alt of Mur, ..you have a MD character too? then so are you. 17. There are so few people left in MD because the last level of the game is played outside the web interface, usually players never win that level.... 18. there is a cow creature and a milk resource but its invisible

i think we shall never know for sure if the tomato is among us anymore or not.... bitter incertitude i hate eggplants so much that i eat them all the time i see them.

relax, everything is fine! pfff...great news afterall... the tomato survived...the tomato is immune!! check out the latest confirmed evidence p.s. tz tz tz ..u're highly stressed. two minutes after the post, 12 people here already, and i was asked who died

no, its deadly serious, that tomato is for real!

We do have an alternate feed to this, but so far is unsure this is the same scene... it might be an other maniac torturing an other poor tomato somewhere in the world. I will update this as soon as confirmed info gets available... untill then this is what i have. Be prepared, it is painful to watch... paramedics say that regardless how fast we spot the location of this horror, they might not be able to help if these images are indeed true.

This is, unfortunatly, LIVE we do not know yet what happend to the Tomato, but police is raiding all possible locations where this footage might be filmed right now.

more pics coming probably tomorow. warning, shocking images parental supervision required. i;m afraid i don't have good news

I am deeply sorry to tell you this but reports talk about a terrible horror that happend. More details and pictures comming soon. i will update this post as soon as evidence get available. Thank you

i suggest to do an experiment, one or more vets should take a random noob (that actually talks or asks something first) and spoil everything for him, like for idiots, tell him everything he needs to know, step by step, where to go what to do , how and what to click to solve puzzles, everything he asks and when he is not asking let him know you can help him if he cant do it himself. lets see how this will influence his behaviour. unfortunatly its a marketing problem, ...now days "game" defines something disconnecting, relaxing, like looney toons. What i wanted here was an adventure, not as a game, but at all levels, mostly regarding human interaction. basically its not a game, and most expect a game. makes people lose patience fast. either we should change the way its presented, invitation only or such, or make it more game like by adding the classical skills branches and shit, to make people see they gather skill points or so...idk..i dont feel creative when it comes to change md into somehting more commercial sry. very useful topic anyway, might be needed to make it permanent and advertise it better to the noobs. or even make it periodic, like starting it over with a number, so that noobs wont get scared to read a 100 posts topic, or not to let them influenced by previous ideas.

u liked the 1st or the second? ..because the second just came out as i was trying to reply strange things happen around 6am ..again

this is the ALTERNATE romanian version, its not ment to be translated because its all about the language used, twisted sense of humor, soory i did this as a test..since all romanians here on this form know english already.someone share an opinion if its worth to alter content of poeam, even badly,if it keep similar if not identical info sring. a..ha. sunt fericit nu-i asa? ai vrea sa fie totul chiar asa e comic cum ne batem joc de tragic un truc ce schimba viata magic rasul tare acest mecanism de autoaparare invizibila separare intre ce e nostim si ce doare fericit?..fie ca intr-o sinistra parodie ei bine unde-i oare fericirea-n mine acum besi muta-ti copitele de pe presi hai valea moaca ta imi optureaza calea ... unfortunatly the mur is not fully upgraded yet so i am unable to test it in the first poem to compare

ah yeeey.. i am so ..happy.. as you say? oh pray, my feelings are indeed that way is comic how we joke about the tragic a trick that makes our life more magic laugh symbolism pure self defence mechanism invisible schism bending thoughts like a prism this comedy a self destructing parody you see? now where that happiness in me? now run! fear the madness behind fun hide hun i'm two seconds from my gun p.s u made me smile , yey..time to polish the jigsaw for a new beneficiary ..mmh..mhha..mhahahhaaa *paranoid twitch*

O.o ... I dream of ducks, thats what i dream of endless shapes, and abstract steam I dream of ducks, its my obsession of color rhymes and bit progression I dream of ducks, and happy clouds the song of trance and hypno sounds In case you wonder, nothing's wrong I dream of ducks, ...is just a song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM6hh-OlnMU I case you question why i write A poem of such pointless type I could explain, to try i could Why neurons have left the hood But better still, just enjoy The day insanity became my toy Muhahhahahahahaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. uck=rug ha..ha..Joke! laugh!...now :| why so serious pssst..i [b]see[/b] voices!..shht..DON'T LOOK now stop reading, comments are useless

about the items.. i have the option to release them automated on a temporary basis using the thing i tested on wasps totem. That means to have a stock of items and anyone to grab anything, first come first served, but for a limited period (time limit still to be added). That will keep them recycled and more dynamic, but will kill trading. IT will also keep them important for longer because there will be a lot more active items and less lost on inactive accounts over time. An other option is to gift them to people based on their role, that will place the items back in game but there is no warranty those that get them wont give them away to end up in the hands of hoarders. I could also organize an auction for them, where the "price" will consist of reasons. Whoever gives the best reason why to give a specific item to him/her will get it. (no actual cost). Reason has to be based on actual player activity so far, _established_ role, but also plans for future and so. Since i fear i wont be able to actually do this myself, i am just opening the discussion here to decide what is best to do, then probably someone of you will take care of the actuall changes, be it auction organizer, role hunting season or rendril to assign the items to the automated system. I think there are 100 items in total so far.

Suggestion 1: If fight ends in a cap for one of the players, the other will get minus 10% ve as penalty. cons: - suicidal attacks to lower ve of a player by capping alts on him. Its fine, he should move on. - hard to determine if fight will be such a fight or not, but it does happen only once, right? maybe this will keep vets more careful when atacking random noobs? - overall paranoia pros: - noobs attacking and capping an older account will not feel much of a 10% penalty because their vitality total is anyway low. But vets will suffer from 10% Suggestion 2: No Ve reward for saking creatures at mp lower than 4 cons: - limiting developing of character at mp3 - limits just one type of mp3 overpower pros: - adds something more to the mp4+ levels Suggestion 3: - Add a count of how many players someone capped. On a certain number penalize him somehow but not move him. pros: limits repetitive abuse cons: persistent players that want to do that will still do it penalty suggestion: apply one random action of these. the difference in severity is a risk to consider: destroy one random creature regardless of level rarity or age. Destroy one random item not marked rare(admin items). Lower ve by 30%. Lower all stats by 15%. Jail time one week. What and why not: - no forcing someone to next mp, its true some want to stay at mp3 as a role and holding the ability to move them is dengerous - no stats cap. I don't think any of you, or me, can decide what decent stats are or where to place this cap - no sak limit, can get annoying when you realised you got only aramors and want to sac them but you cant. Sac for free is also not good because it alters the concept of sacrificing and for a noob to see that is not good and makes no sense.

hmm, some of your ideas about lost are very useful for me. thank you.

Sa pierd nu m-ar durea deloc Pe lumea asta ce am strans I-as spune vietii ca-i un joc Si m-as opri din plans Un lucru doar e greu nespus Si nu-i gasesc scapare S-aud pe ce-i ce ma vad dus Cum sufletul ii doare As vrea sa uite toti ca sunt Sau sa ma stie bine A mea durere pot sa-nfrunt Dar nu si ce ma tine Mur

Why is there that someone can be lost? Its a philosophical question. Someone is lost because it doenst have a purpose anymore maybe? Or it has nothing to do with purpose? There are so many of us that do not aim for a purpose yet they are happy and not "lost". I am trying to determine and understand this feeling. I have purpos(es) lots, i do not miss them, lol, in fact they are too many and in too many directions. Why is it that i feel like this, that i feel like losing everything so that i wont feel lost .... yes you heard right, the words are placed in the correct order. I can't undersand it, nor explain it, the feeling itself i mean, not its reasons, cause or future consequences. I used to understand and disect feelings, to analyze them and to controll them, but this one escaped me. I had the chance of understanding it like 10 years ago, but back i was to young. Now i feel it the same and i feel i am still that kind that will break in front of this terrible feeling. How is it that the feeling of being lost is not opposite to the feeling of confort or happiness, in my head at least. I can be a normal man and at the same time lost, why, what is the counterfeeling that balances it if its not that? I thought 100 times before writing this public, but it seems my private life is no more of concern to anyone than it is when it becomes public ..so what the hell do i have to lose, a few gossips here and there, BUT maybe in return i get an answer, a smart and usefull one.

its very relaxing. and it seems it fills my need for "creating" without taking much/any effort. I still aim to draw (for last years lol) , but for now poetry , scares as it is and probably mediocre, does the job to keep the things inside from not breaking me ... so if you can, do it. i would love to read it.

well, ignoring all other possible meanings *cough* the one that inspires me most purity is the relation between man and his horse. The horse doesnt need to have wings to feel he has them... and appreciate the feeling ignore the words, they are just carriers. of course, replace horse with byke and it gets more sense on the "where we drop" part, since a horse will not hit a wall but a motorsycle will if you ride it driven by such feelings.

Oh yes you are right now i realise it, it was the Knatty that wrote it
