Please note that its NOT the magic wand that you should use!

Do like this:

Set background to that creme color in the sample. Select the black/white artwork then apply what is called in Fireworks (Adobe) "Convert to alpha" filter, or equivalent in your program. This will turn all white into transparency without cutting it. Magio wand won't work because it will cut the drawing very ugly and will not make transparent the interior white spots.

With convert to alpha applied, export as transparent gif with the creme bg set as transparent color.

This should generate the perfect export
I saw some tried cutting the white spots, its not working and looks very ugly.

Hope it helps.

Now...*hic*..how sho.ld i ..explain..hic..
drink after me: yooo..hic..ga....

just a thought:
what if members can donate from their loyalty to the leader, except alt. That way the ally can support its leader in case its needed, or maybe as a condition set by the ruler to join.

I make a clear distinction between Christianity and Church, one is a inner path one is a cruel scam.
The only thing i respect about the "church" regardless of its name, are the people, its not their fault fake answers were feeded on a plate for them just to keep them docile slaves. I know a lot more than you try to believe, but it might be in a tottaly different direction than you think.

Your ego kind of steps on my nerves, and your bad jokes, like the one in the sotis post are an insult. It was a time when i thought "atheist" are more open minded than "believers"..this forum here proved me quite wrong.

The worse things possible are those that get close to a truth but alter the final result in their favor...thats what church does, thats my problem with them. Honestly, i don't care of your opinion anymore. It requires a certain level of decency and respect to talk to some people (yeah me), not just initiative and brain (you don't lack those, but you lack the first badly).

I am not a modest man, but i consider myself fair so in case you want to know, i had no "blacklist" for the sotis recruitment, not _anyone_, so you kind of gave yourself a permanent bad vote from now on on such events.. don't participate anymore in them, post your jokes on separate threads.

[quote]I do not see the benefit of taking away past or already spent wish points that were used say[/quote]

There is no pleasure for me in punishing people, or removing things from them, nevertheless it is important that abuse is punished if i am unable to prevent it.

With wishpoints getting increasingly important for game dynamics, such things are important to be checked in order to prevent them from happening again. My option is clear, mercy-less removal of any doubtfull wishpoints. There are plenty of wp given for fake quests and/or third person intermediary, removing those without a reason is just the nice part of this cleanup.

This time there won't be any punishments to those giving or having such wp. This is a cleanup. But like with any significant value, expect verification to be more strict. Afterall if i will value a wp to 40$ equivalent or even 20$, abusing them is worse than fake payments or alt bonus abuse tehnically speaking.

Of course i won't let you go back and fix reasons you missed, thats the point, you should care about such things when you do them not only when you get caught. I don't remember to receive any pm or email from any of you requesting a wp reason edit because you missed one..now you suddenly want to fix this? "ha..ha.. "


How used wp will be handeled is up to the council, i just care that something will be done about random wp gifts.
Like i said the next thing to investigate is 3rd party "wp laundry" , you know very well what i mean, when your quests starts and end with just the people you needed to reward..without being any real chance for anyone else to participate or win at all. My rules were simple, give a documented reason, be honest about why you give a wp and give it for a "reasonable" reason. The meaning of reasonable is subjective enough, you could have given them for things honestly put, but should have never faked quests to pretend there is a reason for your wp trades.


I am still thinking if to ask council to handle the second wave of cleanups or to allow myself the pleasure to decide in a very subjective way what i consider a valid wp and what not. It seems not only exagerated, but you continued to do so even after there were signs it might get ugly.

In the future this will be handled in a different way, sadly i can't allow this freedom on how to award wishpoints anymore.
I am not yet sure how this will be but you will find out. I am thinking to discuss this with everybody that I consider to have managed wp awarding decently according to the moral rules i expected.

Ok, here is a list of people i will reward. [b]Each gets one WishPoint[/b] but i am not sure right now who should get the reindrach. I will open the topic again and I will ask the ones i name below to tell me what do THEY think it was the one wish that convinced me to reward them. Don't invent new wishes, just name the one from what you already wrote. Write it again don't just say a number please. Based on that i will decide who gets the Reiny.

Awiiya
Indyra
dst
Marvolo
Lintara
Chewett


Those that wonder why they didn't won.. first of all it was a question about what you CAN do but you don't. I eliminated all that made wishes that didn't depend on them. The ones selected got selected because one particular wish i liked, not all. This is a very subjective decision , and it should be one. Afterall it is my own private quest so i can be as subjective as i wish to be


Someone will contact you about the rewards, or assign them directly. might be Curiose (hired her on temporary time, see forum topic about it), or it might be someone from the new tribunal treasure keepers i am trying to assamble.

Thank you all for participating, regardless how i considered your wishes it was very interesting to see what other people could wish for.

just a thought:
what if members can donate from their loyalty to the leader, except alt. That way the ally can support its leader in case its needed, or maybe as a condition set by the ruler to join.

I need some people that are very active on the forums. They will have first of all to become citizens of Tribunal Lands and that means i will have to see them as such. Thats why i will pick from those offering their service here in a very subjective and unrevealed way.

These people can join any of the existing alliances that receives them, if they receive them in their ranks. If they don't want to or can't, i can give them citizenship or even create a separate alliance for them (if i find enough)

Your task would be to manage my wealth. I am some times giving rewards on forums, or in game, not only to tribunal citizens but maybe sometimes to people you argue or disagree with. Or sometimes to quests you didn't got rewarded. I need you to be able to give the awards in my place and not let personal interests interfere with that. It will also require you to hunt down all my posts on forum, mood panel and announcements, so you will find the people that need to be rewarded as fast as possible and assign them the reward i named with highest priority.

Your advantages are obvious. you get a very interesting reputation a tag related to this role, if you don't have an other already, and you will share some of the surplus rewards on a regular basis. I might even happen that i have things from time to time that you will have to auction on the forum and exchange to a lower range of more prizes so you will have "change". My rewards are usualy only big, i don't bother to handle the small ones, but i oftenly need those. I can't always reward a drach or a fulltokend tainted you know


You will not be allowed to assume authority over others. Your loyalty and role is only to me, [b]IT IS NOT A MD OFFICIAL POSITION[/b]
I am posting this on tribunal forum because thats what it is , a land role goverened by its leader, me. You will only dispatch rewards or reward yourself on my command, the rewards i name or the situations i name. Other kings its their own business how they handle their lands.


Post playername, active days, current citizenship and current tag if any, and a short description of why i should pick you from all the rest.

CITIZENS OF OTHER LANDS READ THIS:
If you are selected, i will require a note from your king saying you are allowed to abandone your land for this one. WIthout an aproval from your current king i wont accept you. If you run away from your land for this, kings have at most a week to notify me and i WILL kick you out for it. I appreciate loyalty, both for me but also for others.

Although this might mean the loss of one of my wp which are as follows:
*Sagewoman*on 22/10/09
For having the guts and ball to apply and campaign for Kingship and to gracefully withdrawn knowing the odds were against him.
Blackwood Foreston 11/05/10
UTOB second place winner entry reward

I have to agree to this clean up. With WP for days coming in there are a lot of undeserved wish points out there. Add that together with the extras and you have WP totally devalued. Then there are people dishing out the dollar values for people to reward them. If i am undeserving so be it just so long as everybody else who is undeserving takes there hit.

Pipstickz, 789 active days, Tribunal (Seal of Six), Supporter tag

I believe you should pick me because:
A) I am already a citizen of the Tribunal
B) I check the forums every day, multiple times per day
C) I have a few standing grudges, but I have no problem paying people what they're owed
D) I'm a vet and well known by the community
E) To be quite frank, Ailith isn't active any more, and I'd enjoy having something to do rather than waiting for something that may not happen

[b] selected, standby for details [/b]

Each quest maker can do his own quest and decide how to give his rewards, or decide whom not to let to participate. This sort of permission is thought to support questers in trusting their own judgement and not be afraid of reactions or complains.(side note: However this kind of rule is not to allow quest makers to abuse and trade or transfer rewards under false pretext of a quest.)

Because your quest involves later implications of what people will consider as necrovion core concepts, i can not allow you to risk spreading possibly false information. I don't mean you have a false view on these concepts, i mean i have no clue what your view is at all.

Therefore you are entitled to limit your participants as you wish but i can not allow you to decide in a public way what necrovion core concepts are without a backup check by me or jester (representing necrovion official)

Your options are (one of the following):
- discuss your opinion with jester before naming a winner, to be sure that the selected view on necrovion concepts is not containing false information
- discuss your final options with me , i wont have time to check all of them, but i can tell you if what you selected is right or wrong
- discuss with me or jester your view on nc concepts so your view is accurate.
- rename quest to be about what YOUR view is, disclaiming from rewarding a generaly correct opinion.

I was planning to do this directly, but by making it a council request I allow it a second thought and maybe a variation of the rules its based on. Council can change it or deny it, as it thinks fit. Players can share their opinion here, maybe detailing points of view i missed.

I am requesting Council to consider [b]removing all wishpoints given without a declared reason[/b], on all periods. Whoever doesn't care to write at least a formal reason for wp reason doesn't deserve to waste our time in checking validity of that wp.

It should count as missing wishpoint anything too general like:
- blank
- filling spaces or characters
- things like "quest" or "nice" or "see pm" etc

Valid reasons are those that contain a trackable reference to a quest, like quest name, or rewarded action

If the wp reason is correct should not be judged, yet, i am only concerned if there is a reason or not.

After cleaning up garbage i intend to do a more detailed reason check.

Wp could also be marked as used so that their association with their owner and giver remains in db for further checking in the second cleanup wave.

Hired

but consider any other job offerings you will receive. My tasks won't take much of your time, so consider it a part time job.

Now i have to figure out what to give you to do, i dont really have anything but i loved the idea enough to create a job opening just for this

Thank you for your opinions, this is my current prefered variant, keep telling what you think.

- List with "100" hidden items. 
This list will fluctuate based on how i add prizes to it and number of buyers. Sometimes it can be that  the list is almost empty, other times to have 200 items, etc. Over half of the items will be overpowered in current sense. The features provided will however become common in the future through this shop/tombola or ingame abilities (like magic ctc)

- spent and unspent credits will count in 100$ increments as a ticket to pick something from the list. The list being hidden, it means people wont always get what they wished for. It also means people will see what the shop had before but not what it has now, allowing some suspanse.
 Or 200$ ?? 

- wishpoints will count as 40$ spent credits. Or 10$ ..Or 20$?
both spent and unspent count the same


- list with numbers and players will be always public but only once a month it will be revealed to show winnings. event at goe or automated, depends on month mood and time.

- no limit of choices one could select per list. This is important for old players that currently have lots of credits and wp. It means a 100 items list will run out very fast.

- In future, tickets to this thing will be tradeable items so they can be awarded and traded.


did i missed something?
