What if, before they delete the entries, they sent anonymous/system messages that say "Your log on x is y, it will be deleted if it is not changed." Doesn't keep them from deleting meaningful things that they don't understand, but at least you'd know if they were messing with your stuff.

Some of my PL entries were deleted as well. I would explain them, but that just ruins the purpose.

That was a bug.

[quote name='Phantom Orchid' timestamp='1320451500' post='95285'] Who do I have to thank for such a blatant abuse of power...? [/quote] Perhaps somebody is extra picky about it and decided to make you wait until 16:29:58. That is the only reason I can think of, myself, but then that's what asking is for. My suggestion is to PM Grido asking for an unban.

You could also brew tea, buy tea, or buy lighthouse stones. You do bring up a valid point, though, should heads contest competitors be allowed to use memory stone casts of GoE?

[quote name='Sunfire' timestamp='1320251582' post='95143'] closest to equal 67.776382% vs 67.801508% [/quote] Actually that one goes to everyone who ever used GGG 0% vs 0%

[quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1320251051' post='95142'] Firstly Pip, Darigan was the only one to shout loud enough to attract the attention of people like you. You'd prolly understand the extent of spread of the humongous number of 'whiners' If you HAD spent one busy day in MDP. But oh wait. You NEVER EVER did that. Niether are you amongst those who want to train their stats. SO QUIT BEING A MEGA JERK who Clearly despises anyone and anything to do with Loreroot and stop pretending like you understand how hard it is to fight stat damage. [/quote] I've replied to some of other Eon complaining topics, it just so happens Darigan kept on complaining. Buy day in MDP? Has nothing to do with my role, why should I? I don't want to train my stats? Flat out lie. I despise Loreroot? No, if I really did, then I wouldn't have bothered offering to help Firs, which he seems to have ignored in favour of arguing with Rhaegar. I don't know anything about stat damage? On the contrary. Eon attacks me just like everybody else, other than those who he actively targets. [quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1320251051' post='95142'] How many times Has loreroot solved its problems without asking Mur? Lol... When Firs excommunicated Rhaegar out of loreroot for declaring himself as a rebel there was such a hue and cry. You, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR LIFE, supported Rhaegar after that. Following the Rhaegar episode, Loreroot has been stable. Peaceful. No matter what or who is responsible for that, credit partly goes to the King as well. I would say Loreroot solved its own problem without begging Mur. [/quote] Loreroot did not solve its own problems in the Rhaegar incident, Rhaegar didn't just walk to jail, Firs sent him with the brand new excommunication tool that he got while the argument was happening. And yeah, I supported Rhaegar, because I believed Firs was acting unfairly, is there something wrong with that? I also supported Seig in the dst thing, even though I rather dislike the guy. Are you going to tell me that I don't really care for justice, and that all I want is to make my "enemies" look bad? [quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1320251051' post='95142'] You havent seen a lorerootian disagree with Firs? Why Should we? And Why should we show YOU out of all people that we've had a disagreement? You are no one to loreroot. Or anyone who is not concerned as a matter of fact. [/quote] It's nice that you speak for all of Loreroot, but I assure you that I'm not No one. [quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1320251051' post='95142'] The Joke is... You made such a scene about the Grido issue... Wierd how you can change when it comes to Loreroot. [/quote] How have I changed since then? [quote name='Nimrodel' timestamp='1320251051' post='95142'] To summarise Pip in short: - Loud mouth. - Severely demented and narrow minded when it comes to anything associated with Loreroot/ Yrthilian. - Wants people to take him seriously for once in their lives. [/quote] And this is a perfect example of another reason I dislike Loreroot: you make everything personal, you can't just keep the arguments on topic. Oh well, I have thick skin.

[quote name='Sharazhad' timestamp='1320185087' post='95075'] [i][color=#008000]Ditto! Whenever someone brings up a point of contention, everyone goes down of them like bag of bricks. "Oh they are being irrational!" "Oh! They just need to man up!!" "She's just pmsing!" and my personal favourite "They just love to whine!" Does anyone listen to the message that was being conveyed or are we the players in the game, supposed to sit back and accept EVERYTHING that is dished out to us?! I tip my hat to those who have the balls to stand up and say: "Hey we have had enough of this! I want change" [/color][/i] [color=#008000][i]Things need to change and the roots of the problem needs to be addressed. Treating the symptom does not treat the cause! Perhaps the kings and queen, the council and the other powers that be (Mur? Akasha? Dst? Grido? chewett? dunno who ever you are) need to sit down over a few bottles whiskey or whatever and sort out these huge problems like bullying; because honestly an anti bullying coallition is going to have as much of an effect as the anti abortionists have protesting outside a an abortion clinic. Thats pretty much the same of any "protection" group formed within MD, its really useless without an authoritative stamp of approval or the tools to deal out punishment for that matter.[/i][/color] [/quote] So, first you say you support people who speak up for themselves, and then you say that it's useless to try to act. At least that's how I'm reading it. Perhaps you're trying to say that people who talk about problems should be commended for it, but people who act are wasting their time? I do agree that the anti-bullying thing probably won't amount to much, but that's not because they don't have the tools to punish people. They have the community. The only problem with community punishment is that the community has to agree with you: You need to be right, and hopefully, fair. If they fail, they have themselves to blame, nobody else. [quote name='Sharazhad' timestamp='1320185087' post='95075'] [i][color=#008000]Has no complaining and adaptation worked? NO! Instead Criminal activities are on the increase. [/color][/i][i][color=#008000]Is that what you want? to favour the malicious? [/color][/i][i][color=#008000] People want to feel like they are being heard!!! [/color][/i] [/quote] I don't know about you, but I feel heard. With the whole Grido case, even though the majority did not agree with me, I believe that I opened some eyes, and the future will tell if I changed Grido himself, and that's what it's about: believing in yourself. [quote name='Sharazhad' timestamp='1320185087' post='95075'] [i][color=#008000]I havent been much out to other lands, those who know me know why, so I cant really speak for other kings. I can tell you this however. Firs looks after Loreroot and does a lot for the land, and looks after it the best he can given the limitations. Why shouldn't he get the help he asked for?[/color][/i] [/quote] Limitations. Hm. I'll try and put it into perspective: Necrovion has no (proper) king, and they seem to be functioning just fine, don't you think? Tell me what Firs wants (in short, please) and I can probably tell you how to do it without Mur, or at least why Mur shouldn't do it. And finally, I saved the best one for last: [quote name='Sharazhad' timestamp='1320185087' post='95075'] [i][color=#008000]I still dont know why there is still so much animosity between some players and LR, all that shyte went down ages ago and I for one hate being called a tree-hugger or whiny Lorerootian just because the forest is the place that suits my character best! I ask you,[b] how is that different to racism or sexism[/b]?![/color][/i] [/quote] I can't speak for others, but personally, I have nothing against any of the Lorerootian citizens on your own, it's the way you act as a group that bothers me. The loudest voice is heard the most, and Loreroot is sure good at shouting. I'll give a few examples, first, an obvious one: Darigan vs. Eon. Darigan has been complaining non-stop about Eon for a while now, and there are plenty of people who sympathize with him (or rather, they dislike Eon), but did he actually try and do anything with that community support? No. I tracked him down and tried to explain, he still didn't do anything. Chewett blatantly told him what to do to fix the problem he had with GoE stones, and still, he just said "that'd be nice". Not "Ok, I'll get started" or "Can somebody help me make a list of who's got the spell?" Nothing. Now, look back into Loreroot history: how many times has there been talk about something, but never anything done? How many times has Loreroot solved its own problems, without even asking Mur? Example two happens to be from a personal conversation: It was during the 2010 festival (I believe), when Mur was handing out vet medals at DQ. You, Sharazhad, came up for a vote, and I voted no. A Lorerootian asked me "Why did you vote no? She's your friend. You could've just not voted at all." Is that sort of thing the way of Loreroot? If your opinion isn't the same as ours, don't say it? It honestly seems that way, because I don't recall any time I've seen a Lorerootian disagree with Firs since he became king. In very short: 1. Lots of talk but no action 2. Hivemind opinions, no diversity

I'd just like to reply to one comment in your conversation that particularly bothered me. [quote name='Darigan' timestamp='1320211590' post='95090'] 1. problem is community is useless when shes only after me [/quote] There are [b]lots[/b] of people who want to fight Eon's skilldamage. All you have to do is ask for help, take the initiative, and those people will follow. It doesn't even have to be you, I'm sure there are a couple people who would gladly organize such a thing with you: again, just take the initiative. Even now that Manda's taken that initiative, you haven't joined in with him. The community is a strong tool, you just need to try and use it. What do you have to lose by just asking for help?

Then do it <<

They may not fight, but that doesn't mean they can't do other things. Birds, for example, don't fight.

I am currently in possession of two absinthe bottles from the Tribunal pub, both of which are infinite. I won't say here how to do it (I'm 90% sure of how I did it >>), but yeah. Either a bug or a Halloween miracle. Drunk line _________________________________________________________________________ II am clutrenry in pseoosissn of two ansbithe boettls form the Tubanirl pbu, btoh of which are ietnniif. II won't say hree how to do it ('Im 90% srue of how II did ...hic ... it >>), ...hic ... but yahe. Eeithr aa bug ...hic ... or aa ...hic ... Haeollwen malrice.

I wasn't going to post here, but Firs, take a step back and look: You've posted two topics in the last couple days, one saying all of MD is at fault for harassment, and now this one saying that Mur does everything wrong, both of which are more than I, personally, care to read, so I've just skimmed VERY lightly through both of them, half because I'm lazy and half because I pretty much know what you're going to say anyways. Honestly though, whether I read thoroughly or not, the more you write on the forum, the more is open to interpretation by the reader. Perhaps you should keep that in mind next time you have a point to get across?

The most obvious precedent in my mind is the GGG: Mur said you were only allowed to have one account in the GGG at one time, even if you weren't attacking your alt, and it was only there for others to attack, or whatever.

You might get away with using your alt, but I wouldn't say it's allowed.

Tipu, Ledah isn't in jail, he's banned.

So then you've got a needle? Just wondering.

Teleporting spells aren't meant for your convenience. If they only worked when the target wanted them to, then why would someone bother buying the spell in a memory stone, or earning it from a higher power?

Treason against the king, yes. Not the land. Handy Pockets and Marind Bell are not the same thing, and the same is true for all monarchs. That's the whole reason the rebel system was introduced.

So what if everybody in the Marind Bell hiding place is part of the Seekers? Just wondering.

When you rebel, you're not rebelling against the land (I hope), because that's what the other lands are for. You're rebelling against the leadership within the land. Rebelling is meant for people who care for their land, but not for their monarch.

The need for Mur in all this is fine, but what have we done to deserve it? We don't necessarily need Mur to watch over the resources, we just need somebody standing there, keeping track of who comes and goes, and when the resources go down.

Then we should start keeping better track of who takes what, when, and post it here, on the forums. Perhaps some (the smart ones) might even stop before we get lists going.

During the meeting about research and connections, I believe, SilverBlades was teleported to GG by Mur. So yes, it would change things.
