I know you are scared of getting a reset , you would like it now, or later after few more posts?
Please look at your warnings...from today they start to mean something to a mod/admin and you could actually get a bad thing from them.

Moderator preview..well he made 7 posts in 5 minutes.. so yeah, a moderator will approve or disapprove his posts. Unfortunately he can't understand when to stop , and i personally had enough of the spam from the forum, that's why i started to take actions. Think that more the half of his posts are spam...and look at his warning and such..if he can't stop, we must stop him..i personally want to read a topic without posts wich are put in there just to increase the post counts.

The free of speech ...well he was free to post *cough* spam 658 posts ..so , i started to cook the spammers from this forums.

Well, DB got another warn and a moderator preview posts.

So.. who is next?

Lately i saw a lot of spam in all topics.

From now on i will delete the spam, count down the numbers of post counts you have, or depends on your warnings...reset your count posts.

First to go : Death Bell got his first reset to 0 posts today because of repeated spam .

Good luck to the rest



ps: rants in this topic will be counted as spam also

Yes, it is that time of year, with a lot of snow that makes me think of SNOWMAN

I want you all (that, of course have some snow in the garden, if not find a snow - replacement ) to make a MD snowman style and take some pictures of it/him/her and make it famous [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons//cool.gif[/img]

everyone that will participate will get something ; prizes are secret (if only this makes you participate, then consider there is none )


PS: post the picture with you near your snowman work, or if you don't want to be in the picture, make a BIG MD on the snowman or something that will show it is original and not a picture taken from the internet.


Thank you

LE : i will delete posts wuth questions after answered just to keep this topic clear.[/size]

Listen to this ...
i can make COINS, gold plated (24k), silver or bronze. I mean like REAL COINS with 3d engravings and writing, just like currency coins. Diameter of about 40mm (1.56'). Problem is that i need to do at least 100 or they wont create the dies, so i cant just do a few for those that want, i must do all or none.

I can cover a big part of the cost myself, but i wont do them without first checking if enough people are interested in this and also take preorders.


I have a few ideas, but remember, only one of them can be made real, i can't make one of each.

1) Matte or Shiny gold plated , marked with "1 Gold" or something similar, refering clearly to the gold coins in MD.
2) Silver with 1 Silver, refering to the Silver coins in MD. Silver looks better than gold it seems.

Advantages of making them currency coins with a value is that people could get more than just one.

3) Bronze or any of the other options, with something generaly valid for MD, like log on one side and "something" else on the other (i have to think about it and it good). Maybe a thematic coin of some sort. If i am planning to make these in 100 coins series, each time i do a new series it could have the same main design but with one side changed (like Euro is in each country).

Bad thing is that if its general , there is no reason to get more than one, and there won't be 100 individual buyers for sure.

Other "communist" ideas:
4)put a tax/donation/optional payment of 3-5 credits for all players and then give these as awards based on different reasons (but not to those making the credit payment).

5)Use these both as rewards and purchased items (it wont be fair!) until i can get a second type of coin just for one of these purposes.

Gold plating is more respectable, but in my opinion looks bad, contrast is low and if its matte its two faded (its also more expensive). Silver doesnt look like actual silver, its more like a grey (see pics) but keeps better contrast and resembles more actual coins that are in currency. Bronze is the cheapest material, and it has low symbolic value, but looks great and heavy, especialy the 3d one (thats almost as much as the flat gold one).

Costs:
I wished i could get these to you for free, but obviously i cant. I also have to make a price differentiation between those that preorder and those that will order later, or none will preorder at all. So i am thinking of this. The preorders will be priced at exactly the cost price. So whoever gets them with preorder will have the minimum price possible, but i can't guarantee a price because i have no idea what are transport and customs taxes exactly. So for preorder price will be a lot smaller, but might fluctuate a bit.

Estimate price, without shipping from Romania to international:
With preorder (actual coin cost from mint, plus shipping here, without any profit or taxes added by me) is about 7$ (+/- 1$) plus 1$ for gold matte plating (depending if thats the coin will be made or not).
Estimate price after, without preorder, 12-16$ (includes MD profit part, handling)

These are raw estimates, its first time i work with this provider and i have no clue what will be at the end.


Shipping:
They will have to be shipped here in Romania first, then i will send them to you. The shipping from me to you will be depending on location, i have no idea how much, but you can check out with your local shipping services to get an estimate quote. For more coins in same package the shipping will be almost null for the additional coins so you will get a much better price per coin if you get more. I am thinking maybe for people in same town you can join and get them all in one package to save shipping costs and then meet and get them in person.
(In Romania you can come and get them from me if you are in Bucharest or domestic shipping charges via Fancurier, Cargus, etc)


So, i am waiting for your opinions.
Because this topic might get very big very soon, please write only if you are realy planning to buy. I am sure most of you have good ideas about this, but those that will actualy buy them should have a heavier word than others.

Making philosophy out of simple arithmetic? Ha ha...


"You can not obtain the original number (10) by multiplying 3*3.3333 unless you have an infinite number of ...333... after the dot, but you can't have that without the helpof division!"

If we are going to be precise, then you need to put an infinite number of zeros after 10 and 3; otherwise the number implies a level of uncertainty of the last digit ("significant digits"). I.e. you need 10.000000... and 3.0000000... . Exactly contradicting the second part of the sentence.

I notice Observer has trouble with the concept of infinity... This "missing a 0.000...0001 somewhere" is postponed indefinitely, so it never occurs.


What makes you tie division to entropy anyway? Making a number smaller? Then multiply by 0.1 .


"Life creates matter out of information, out of nothing virtually."

Life REARRANGES matter based on information in DNA & RNA.

Thus, lowering entropy for the living organism. But, overall entropy still increases; this organism needs sustenance; it creates more entropy in its surroundings than it removes by its presence.
Interesting quotes from wikipedia:
"Current findings in statistical mechanics show that entropy is governed by probability, allowing for a decrease in disorder even in closed systems. Although possible, this event has a small probability, making it unlikely for a decrease to occur; if any were to occur, it would be a transient decrease that would affect a limited number of particles in the system."
"Entropy is the only quantity in the physical sciences that seems to imply a particular direction for time, sometimes called an arrow of time. As we go "forward" in time, the second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase or remain the same; it will not decrease. Hence, from one perspective, entropy measurement is thought of as a kind of clock."
"The question of the link between information entropy and thermodynamic entropy is a hotly debated topic. Some authors argue that there is a link between the two, while others will argue that they have absolutely nothing to do with each other."


"But there is more to life than just syntropy. Living beings are complete systems; this means that both syntropy and entropy should happen within same system. And they do. A part of one's life is syntropic, while the other part is entropic. The bridge between the two parts of our lives happens at around 25 years, but depends on the person."
(grammar fixed)

You mean that the [b]balance[/b] is tipped from syntropy to entropy at ~25 years of age.
Fun fact: the human brain finishes its development at ~25.
I believe that with thedevelopment of technology, this tipping point can be postponed indefinitely.


[b]Overall entropy always increases[/b]; this is why I chose the principle in story mode.

There was a joke, how long is the coast of England..answer was that it depends on the length of the ruler you measure it with. If you divide it in smaller chunks is longer, if thery are bigger chunks the coast appears smaller. Eventualy with an endlessly small ruler, it would be endlessly big
[/quote]
Incorrect. It would approach a finite limit; this is the real length.
Fun fact:
1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64 + ... = 1

It's kinda like that.

placing a wp at the start of the time frame is important. A new player will not be impressed by the idea that he will get somehting after ONE YEAR of playing, ...they are not sure if they will stay one day at first.

I am also talking about WP directly not WP codes, so transfers are not an issue.
I hope that in this way people will want more, and not consider wp as unreachable anyway. There are many that have none and stoped hoping for one.

Alt checks , if implemented, will be very strict. Only one of the tests for example could be extremely strict, the ip check. If you are in a school or campus, you will never be able to get this reward if someone else got it first. Also the full range of alt checking is quite paranoid, so you will probably not be able to get the reward in many cases when the system things you are in any way related to the other account.

Its big question, should alts be developed as separate characters (so yes get the wp) or should they be considered alts as they are? .. If there were not all these people that have alts to cheat or swarms of alts, this situation would be totaly different.

AGE, in md, is the strongest sign of loyalty towards MD. You could be the worst character around, if you have a lot of age and you are still around and not baned, it means you are loyal to MD. You might not be loyal to its people, thats an other thing, but you are here and that counts. At least thats how i always felt about active days.

Let me know what you think about having a type of achievement that will give you a wishpoint for active days, without any other requirement.

The implications are greater, it will cause a slight inflation of wp, especialy for the 50 days option that most fulfill.
Wp are ment to be achieved by special merits so to say, i think age shows something even if its not a quest or a puzzle.

What about farming alts for age , you get aged creatures and now also wishpoints, ideas, ways to avoid that? I am planning to add some very strict ways but it could be extreme.

This idea can be made real fast, its something i started to work on but i stoped now to create this poll to see what you think about it first. If its not gonna win, maybe there are alternatives, if not, i'll focus on something else.

Like Grido said. Also if thinks goout of control i will make a pm block feature, like ignore on messenger. Public logs is a different matter, more critical one because they are public.

..that reminds me i should start checking those

i have comissioned a cube puzzle to someone based on shadowseekers device. This will save me some time while it will still come out as i wish it to be. The work is in progress and looks good so far.

Storymode rewards will change to percentage rewards , but i have a dark thought to change profiles entirely , by removing attack, defence, and other skills and implement a much simpler and more intuitive way. Dont get scared yet. Once all the things come into place for these changes to happen i will do them realy fast.

I will try to do these changes without reseting anything dont wory. It will probably be an automated fix when you login, converting your current profile to the new one. I am not sure what to do about storymode, one option is to move ALL players to mp3 without resetting their stats at all, letting them get overpowered ... this might go well with skill caps on mp levels, an other change i am planning.

I am about to make a major change to how story mode goes.
Dont hurry with the opinions untill its done and you take a look at it (yeah i am encouraging alts for this test, but when its done)

Plan on short:
- when you receive the cube, you will actualy get a customized cube item, with your name on it.
- you exit story mode right there and go into free roam
- cube can be activated later, and you enter it and see the entire spooky marind story


Issues that slow me down:
- what happens on the long run, 50k players means 50k new items, cube (as trade item) infaltion will be hight.
- what happens at mp4, mp5, will get an other cube, of course not, then how will it go.
- what will be the rewuirements and tasks to activate the cube to continue story mode. I am thinking of making it a puzzle based on the awsome device shadowseeker sent me


Why?
- story mode is way to long for new players
- the cube story should have more focus on it, so placing it later avoids impatient players that just hit next.
- usage of the cube items might make more sense later. They already exist in rp but not as items, so why not make them real.
