As one of the realm's foremost alliance disbandment experts, I very much approve of this idea for its capability to revive alliances. For resource-based guilds, as many have stated already, a skill requirement makes a lot of sense. For traditional, more roleplaying, alliances a land loyalty (again as many have stated) and roleplaying requirement seems to be a suitable. For example I could see someone earning SoE membership by writing an interesting research paper, or earning military-focused alliance (KoB, GG) membership by challenging a gauntlet of enemies to prove yourself, or earning TW or NS membership by eluding the Necrovion hunters for some days. The idea of a two-tiered system where earning membership by yourself is less valuable than just being invited seems very odd to me, as putting in the effort to do it yourself should ideally (in my estimation) be more difficult than just convincing somebody to invite you, and therefore offer more benefits, not less. That being said, I'm not sure I like the idea of a non-invite takeover or disbandment. Disbanding an alliance should be very difficult, and alliances should always remember to clean up their membership rosters (especially during critical moments like a conflict) lest they fall to disenchanted members who feel an alliance isn't meeting its intended purpose anymore. While I don't personally think one should be able to roleplay or gather their way into disbanding an alliance, I do think one could be able to perform a special group scattering ritual that is non-specific to any particular alliance, but that's an idea of its own and only tangentially related to this one.

As far as I understand no rewards were ever distributed for this quest, and in fact no secondary winners were chosen either.

Happy birthday

Happy birthday Arlia!

Leaders should be put out as targets, that's part of their job. Taking a leadership role opens you to criticisms as well as a more public profile which comes with other risks.

Could it be done with clickables?

As to 3 and 4 unless it's been removed (or maybe it was so long ago, it was only attached to those King of __ accounts), rulers should still have the ability to write a "laws of the land" type document viewable by fellow citizens but not the general public. As to the idea in general: Why?

It seems that Item Collecting (ie. where you can use ITCs) locations that are not Willow's Shop do not have the chat messages saying what was transferred and who received it, as Willow's Shop does. I have recently transferred items in both Necrovion and Loreroot, where there was no chat message. I would assume this to be the case, then, for every Item Collecting location other than Willow's Shop.

I would be very interested to see the results of such voting on scenes, though a big LIKE button would look weird in the interface. Creatures might be another interesting one, but again the question of "where" pops up. If you need to own the creature to vote on it, the results will be skewed by rarity. If you place it on recruitment pages, non-recruitable creatures are an issue. Any ideas on either front, or anyone want to see voting on other things?

Principles: Can be used for Inner Magic as well as the tokens you mentioned, though spell docs are in short supply, but anything's possible Combat: It was one of the most rewarding experiences in gaming for me to go from ready to sac all my creatures and quit combat to what is essentially, at least nowadays, a grinder (though a poor one who can easily be beaten). Granted a big help for that was tokens and I would likely have a more difficult time trying to do the same from where I was in the current environment with a slower economy and less people to train on, but it's hard to say whether or not it'd be impossible, I'd tend to think not given enough time. I enjoy the honour system for how simple it is Armour/Equipment: You've got a point in that case, there are four slots that aren't even used, though I think the sets missing a piece or two are intentionally so (maybe not though).It'd be nice if there was some more interesting stuff that could be done with equips but how long would the novelty of that last before becoming another "disjointed feature" that's part of the general landscape we all (mostly) know? In general you have to make your own fun, or progress, around here most of the time. Don't forget MD is "perpetual beta".

If it's your dream, you can work on creating (or hiring someone to create) a pseudo-MD in VR on your own if you like, though obviously there may be some copyright issues involved and I'm no expert in that. MD is the way it is for a reason, many reasons infact. A VR environment would indeed take away from certain very important elements of the game as it is. This is not a matter of opinion to be argued, it's a fact.

Litigious Actors Whining

Aia is correct, variances you've seen may have been due to tokens.

Good reminder, to anyone interested this is still open.

It would be in line with some other things to have a longer cooldown for self-made or more accessible items than special-made items. I wonder if the code is written in seconds or hours, that would solve whether it was a typo or not. It's harder to mistake for 151200 for 86400 than it is to mistake 42 for 24. Also this topic has a clickbait title, roughly double doesn't count as huge!

My assumption is that the stranger characteristics were meant to be represented by the coloured version of the Elu rather than uncoloured, or otherwise backstory or fiction or lore if you prefer. The only thing that stands out to me as odd is " They do however participate in fights out of curiosity."

Stone tablets are made by combining many memory stones. I've been told that their intended use is indeed making normal stones out of lower-cast spells. I do believe Blackshade has used them before, and could offer you more information, Chew.

Did you use the stolen heads to run your initial contest?

I think it would be rather fair if Mallos used his recently acquired heads control to give MRF the heads his alt stole back to MRF. I believe the total number was 34, though I may be incorrect in my memory of it. Personally I think MRF would deserve a few extra in interest as well, considering how long this issue has dragged without redress, but that's just my opinion. I think this would be an acceptable exception to the rule constraining his use of heads control, if he still has it that is:

Welcome back Aethon, I was worried your brightest candle had burnt out the fastest, glad to see we remained in the back of your mind

BFH :(( I wish we could've chatted again, sad to see you go, do be sure to think of us at least, if you won't pop in anymore! Best of luck with your pursuits!

Tree gifts do this too, do totems?

A log of the sacrifices of lashtal and I Thanks to lash for remembering to take it!

: You don't notice as a snake slithers up your leg. You recoil at first but then calm when you see it offering you YET ANOTHER note Discovery has changed our circumstances, the previous note is to be ignored. Write your name on this note if you wish to be taken to the Toiler, and be sure you are present or idle/logout outside the Howling Gates on the day of, before 9 server time You will have a day to make your sacrifices and take in the scenery. : You throw away that last note since your pockets are almost overflowing, and store this one, eager to find a writing implement and make your mark
