It's RIDICULOUS that people expect newbs to be sheltered and protected. Yeah, the vets might seem "greedy" when it comes to the fighting system. Know why? Because some of them don't have much to do, while the fighting system is always there, and there have been a shortage of new MP5, because the MP4 are afraid of the vets, and they spread that message, and the newbs see the vets telling people to come to MP5, and the whole situation is cyclical and all based on [b]IGNORANT, UNGROUNDED FEAR[/b]. I'm tired of this BS being spread around by all of the MP4s who don't want to advance. You don't even know what MP5 is like, all you know is what the others tell you! Sorry, Zleip, for ranting in your topic, but I think it's something that needed to be said...or, if it isn't, then it's something I wanted to say. "...and remember, the head contest is UNFAIR "

What's to stop someone from writing some neat stories, joining your alliance, getting WP codes, and then leaving without making a quest? What I suggest is that if you do end up getting WP codes, either from a sponsor, or from Mur himself, that you only give them to people who have made a few quests already, and have convinced people to give them codes all on their own, so then you get people who are really dedicated, not just someone trying to bum some WP codes. Sidenote: Kyphis, the best way to have a role or position "made", as you state it, is to do that role. Do you think Khalazdad became king of Necrovion by just sitting and waiting for Mur, or someone else to notice? Of course, the position of Master Archivist already exists, there's just nobody who's doing that at the moment. If you want it, be brave and take it, and if the community doesn't like it, they'll tell you.

I like to use [url="http://magicduel.com/authentication.php?ln=&redir=/layout.php&rs=cof"]this[/url], as it takes you directly to the login page, no matter if you're playing at the time, or have just logged out, or whatever (at least in my experience)

[quote name='Sharpwind' date='27 July 2010 - 10:52 AM' timestamp='1280249561' post='64672'] I'm getting the same "Idle mode activated" sign frequently for no apparent reason too [/quote] Different problem; Zleip clicks "go idle" but still appears to be active, while I believe you get the "multiple interfaces active" window.

There are two types of abilities; indirect and direct. Indirect is based on power, and has some unique setback (ie. Steallife has a cap, martyrism damages self, etc.), while Direct abilities (attack-based) all have a common setback. Mur made Weaken Defense attack-based for a reason, don't you think?

Since personally, I've been at both ends (around -30 or -40 rep, if I remember correct, and now what I have currently), I can say one thing with near-certainty; Rep is almost as meaningless as a rock's opinion on politics. Almost. It does show what the community thinks of you, because if somebody sees -rep on a post that they don't think belongs, they may try to correct it.

[quote name='Ravenstrider' date='24 July 2010 - 05:17 PM' timestamp='1280013426' post='64558'] And I did something similar, but I didn't get a burst beforehand and I released some heat before fighting (not all of it) both the first and the second guard, and got around 750-800k exp... Note that I had around 300-400 heat, when fighting them, while you had at least 1k... [/quote] Bursts give 2k heat. Fighting also gives heat, so the first Lore guard would add a bit to that.

It's not very hard to give somebody EXP. It is quite well worth noting that the Loreroot Guards give quite a bit of it as well. If this were a bug, there would be multiple users complaining about it, or it would be recurring. Really, what I think happened here is that you either went idle or just closed the browser without logging out and somebody decided to give you lots of EXP, and unless you know who this was and have proof of it, then there's nothing to do about it. As an EXAMPLE: If I remember correctly, nadrolski has over 200k VE. All it takes is the right rit on your defense, and he could give you all of that. I'm not saying he would do this, it's only an example.

I'm ready right now, I think

Mur actually has the oldest creature on display in his Bestiary, I believe. Also, that creature is 7 days older than mine >>

Well, we've got a while to train up creatures, I assume...

Random rit has always picked six creatures for me If the ritual it chose did not cooperate with species limits, it would either work anyways, or wouldn't work at all, not something in-between. At least, that would make sense to me. As No one told me earlier, he's got 80 creatures, so I imagine he's got lots of variety to pick from >> Are we sure it was on random? *cough...cough* >>

Again, I'd say just common creatures because if you think about it, angiens will be pretty useless, as they will only get one hit in and then kill themselves for the rest of the battle, and Priests just damage themselves to help your enemy, because last I heard (long, long time ago) their aura didn't work. Just my opinion PS: Yes, Reins were available during Christmas in MDShop behind the Rusties.

Do you know what your character is?

dst, Aysun's post pertains to the posts that are above it. Stop trying so hard >>

That's quite the opposite of what I said Anyways, as Mur has said, I'm sure multiple times, his word is basically law in MD. What you're doing, IAB, is much like telling a math teacher that 2+2=4 doesn't apply because he only writes it on the chalkboard. Really, there's no logical basis in your statement that Marind is alive that I can see.

Personally, I say don't allow shop creatures, because this is meant to be strategic, not based on strength, and shop creatures are either stronger versions of ordinary creatures (ie. Imps), boosters for ordinary creatures (ie. Rusties, Reins) or both (ie. BloodPacts). However, if you weren't just going for strategic fights, then go ahead and allow shop creatures. Doesn't affect me either way, because I only have one or two on MRPip >>

As far as I know, the Sparring Grounds has reverted to it's original rules...so there's really no reason to debate it any longer.

I believe IAB was referring to the story mode ending in his post. Even so, it IS quite incorrect that Marind is alive, if you are to believe not only Mur, but story mode itself. However, you CAN say that she is alive in the sense that she still exists and can interact with you (perhaps other things, but it's unconfirmed as far as I know), but that isn't living, it's just existing.

Leaving a note suggests that anybody can see it, but it was a private system.

This topic is all spam, and it's ridiculous. Chewett - has Mur noticed this topic yet, or does it need more spam? Watcher - you continue to spam this topic in an almost malicious way, and there can be one of two reasons for it that I can see. Either you really don't want Blackwood to be in any trouble, or you're just a jerk who won't stop talking until everybody believes you. Considering that Blackwood has agreed with you already and yet you continue to argue, I'm inclined to believe that it's the latter.

When you're playing Zelda and you can't help but say grasan instead of goron >>

[quote name='Shnappie' date='17 July 2010 - 01:16 PM' timestamp='1279394168' post='64082'] i would say if you want to help them not becomming unballanced, help them if they are inballenced. >Perfect balance against off-balance newbie (less then xxx days): tokens of perfect balance work with 0% power, tokens of off-balance newbie work with 100% power yes that would realy max out the newbie indeed if he is using tokens, but it makes as much sence to me as what you proposed. [/quote] Look at Eon. Around 60 active days, if I remember correctly, and a fully tokened ritual with a GG, a Rusty and a Rein, and three pimped Grasans.

Alright, Chewett, let's just keep spamming this topic, then, so that Mur notices, instead of just pointing it out to him. (Also, the previous topic about this exact same thing was only one page long. Not massive.) In reply to Watcher's spew about copyright infringement, this is artwork from the game, and the only money being made is the money in the game. The court it would be handled in, if it were to go to court, would most likely be in the game. Blackwood does not claim to own the material that he uses, nor does he claim that they are official in any way.
