Funny enough, the photo does the drawings more justice than the scan.
Good job. -
Here's a list of what I'm looking for:
3 barren souls ID under [color=#999999]600245[/color]
3 grassans aged to max post transfer ID preferably under [color=#999999]779546[/color]
Still looking for santas and nutcrackers as well. -
Most likely scenario (in my opinion): You never had them. Did you check your creature inventory for them or did you only 'recruit' them?

I guess perhaps you could 'leave' a heat stone at a scene (would also raise the cost a bit, to avoid random spells). The heat in the stone decreases with time if it runs out before anyone triggers it, the spell vanishes.

Under the current circumstances I believe to be in a position to guarantee first placein MP5 HC.
The conditions you'll have to meet are as follows:
1. Be online/idle 24/7 during the HC (a little less could be up for discussion)
2. General willingness to follow directions (eg. accept a creature for transfer, change def rit etc.)
Offers may be made by forum PM, this is not an auction. If I accept an over no further negotiations will take place. -
I've got enough gold from shop to buy a 'permanent' one. Do you think the difference is that big?
-
No comment, I refer to my previous post.

Requirements: Untokened
Price for Santa increases with age. For Nutcracker age is irrelevant.
If you have any you're willing to part with, send me a forum PM with what you have (including ID) and how much you want for it in gold/silver.
As a twist: you'll only have ONE shot at deciding your pricing point, I'll only accept or decline. The same creature may not be offered again.
Messages that do not have creature ID in them will not be replied to.

I was in the process of writing an email to the council with the shock of: I went from 8500 attack to 1000000 in no time at all.
Yes, combat system needs to be changed.
No, solutions cannot be discussed on forum.
Why not? Because the likely scenario (in fact already on going) is that a proposal is made that wouldn’t work due to some combat mechanic. Changing the stats has impications on the rest of the fighting system. It’d require altering that too. Current combat mechanics themselves (on 0% for example) are flawed as well. To rebut proposals, I’d have to post spoilers on inner game/combat mechanics on the forum.
Alterations would be preferable if they are to be made the real question is: Who’ll design them?
There are few people who have an understanding required. Most of them have been around for a while and are not as active as they were. Most people these days copy tactics (The Monkey Banana and Water Spray Experiment). And don’t actually know why that is what works. In addition to this the essence of creatures would have to be maintained.
I think Rendril would be capable of doing this. However, he already has too much work on his hands. And make no mistake: ‘Balancing’ everything would be a LOT of work. By balancing I mean making sure several tactics are viable and that there’s a higher diversity of creatures that have their uses. As well as making stats less significant.
I’d suggest that if the council actually wants the combat system/application of stats to be altered they assign a group of people whom have actual understanding to ‘redesign’ it.
EDIT: Wrote it in a text editor and accidentally pasted it twice. -

There are several threads concerning BHC currently on these forums. They have some overlap and to make some points in these threads I’m tempted to argument things that’d make them go off topic. In an attempt to avoid this, I have written the following here:
The general consensus appears to be that BHC Is a contest for the ‘elite fighters’ as a display of skill and strength. I’d assume the aim of participants ought to be to win. As a side note I like to think it’s supposed to be fun.
Let’s first have a look at the fighting part. Back in the day having to get a victory was introduced to make it more challenging (Ann. 395). Through time the challenge has become smaller and smaller, angiens, unholy priests and tokens have resulted in the stronger players simply being able to crush the weaker ones and get a victory out of it. The ritual I personally use I’d also be likely to use in a tournament or torch contest in outgoing fights for the best chance at beating my opponent. Those that are weaker than the one they’re attacking generally use mirrorritual which enables an easy victory. Frankly through, there’s not a lot of fighting going on.
So what does happen? Well other than the spells being thrown about making people unable to attack or attack the way they intend there’s a lot of movement. Back when I participated in the normal HC what you’d do if someone took your heads is either hit them back right away or wait. There wasn’t that many places they could go and if you waited you might be able to take the more efficient path. They’d never get that far as AP counts were low as well as other people going for the heads. Now, it’s different though. Because of certain items and high max AP counts, people don’t run out easily. Assuming two players click at the same rate, you’ll need to chase to the end of the map to have a shot at catching up. This is not a huge problem with people hiding in Golemus or Loreroot as they are essentially a circle and you could catch up from either side with multiple contestants. Necrovion is a bit harder but manageable.
The edge of the map is a long way with the current size of it. Most of the new scenes available are located in the tribunal. They have high AP cost and it takes a long time to get through the tribunal even if you use all the consumables you can produce. There is one exception to this: People with tribunal land loyalty. With enough of this they can go all over with barely any AP limitations. This makes it near impossible to catch someone who does have plenty of land loyalty there. The difference in AP cost is just too big even if you were to chase with several people.
As for the rewards, personally I’m not really willing to put in effort for the difference between first and second place. Don’t get me wrong I’d love to have a BHC medal and an extra morph for the collection does look fancy. However, I considered skilldamage a downside to winning first place, a price you have to pay. Second place offers a tainted, which is worth roughly the same as a morph according to recent sales, is a lot less effort and the BHC medal versus the skilldamage is a close call. In addition to this I don’t really find BHC in its current setup enjoyable.
Why don’t I have fun in this contest? It’s boring. There’s hardly any action, head balls get picked up and shipped off to remote locations, if you approach the location the people there have an advantage and are gone before you get there. When you get the heads, all you can do is sit somewhere and wait for people to come for you. You can’t hunt heads because you’d enter territory with high viscosity making you run out of AP and turning you into a sitting duck. I don’t find it enjoyable to merely be able to refresh my screen every 15 seconds or so to see rather someone is moving towards me. The contest is way too long to be able to maintain that as well. It will take a long time before anyone hits 400k. On top of the value difference between first and second place in my opinion is so small, I’m rather content to just pick up second. Currently, I appear to be able to do this while hanging about MDP.
BHC has become a test of endurance; most people can’t compete because they lack the creatures or spells. Amongst the remaining there’s hardly anyone finding it enjoyable and for the time required to be invested should it really be a competition the rewards are lacklustre. BHC is currently merely grinding higher return than your investment. A test of endurance. It should, however, not be mistaken for a contest of strength or skill.
[color=#808080][size=2]I’d appreciate people out to discuss certain specific points in detail to open a new topic and avoid derailing this one.
Should you have need for clarification on what I’m trying to say, a PM would be preferable to a post as it avoids cluttering the topic and makes it easier to read. If needed I will edit the clarification into this post.[/size][/color]- Espartano, Azull, Handy Pockets and 8 others

I know. But piling up tea won't help. Eon does the same and you'll still take 40x or so as long as him to move about the East.
If you're suggesting we kill him, that'd be rather bad sportsmanship.
EDIT (@Pip): Nobody is trying because it's no fun. -
Conditionally through, sponsors want advertising. City wants advertising too (and tourism).

You know stage II starts at 400k score and there probably won't be many head balls arround as they'll be taken offline, right? As well as that, even if Eon had 0 stats in all during stage I, it'd be impossible to stop him from taking heads due to spells and there isn't anyone who can chase him in tribunals.
As I said: It's not the stats. -
I don't think you understand... It's not the stats.

Well Lib there's a pretty big flaw in your argument:
With football clubs etc. organizing a tournament there's no third party giving them a reward for the tournament unconditionally. -

They are tokens. Telling you what they do exactly would be considered a spoiler.
