  1. I can go through the AL and record which events fall on the days in each week...got nothing better to do
  2. 34) Your mother.
  3. Wishes are a way to get things normally only available from Mur (spells, access to special areas, special items/creatures, etc.). Mur has reset win/loss count globally once before. If you don't want to waste a WP on it, don't get it.
  4. Then what's the point of even having the win/loss balance in the first place? Have you ever known anything in this game worth getting to be easy to get, Blackwood?
  5. I dun agree wit dis cuz moar spoylurz plz? But seriously, if MP3s and MP4s still want to participate, then just disable the extra visiting privileges for them. If MP3s and MP4s still want spoilers, then they can suck it up, and the brand new players won't even know the difference. Yey.
  6. Only as long as the Potatoes permit it! >> <<
  7. Happy birthday
  8. Short answer: No. Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooo. (^5 goes to Ailith)
  9. Everybody figures it out eventually, and it's not the hugest deal for the first while anyways.
  10. [quote name='Mavac' timestamp='1285131418' post='68841'] Btw: What are the benefits for becoming an adept? [b]Well, there is no technical or system benefit for BEING an adept like there is for HAVING an adept, but if you pick the right person, they could easily help you out with stuff, or teach you, or whatever. Then again, lots of people do that anyways >>[/b] And why not have /me for emote command. Its *whatever* btw [b]Just our style, I guess. Why be like everybody else? [/b] And how do I heal monsters without using thoose newbie things? And can I heal dead creatures without thoose newbie things? [b]If your creatures are below max VE, then there should be a yellow button beneath them that gets more faded as the creature gets closer to max VE. Clicking the button gives your creatures a certain percent of your VE, depending on how many adepts you have; I believe with no adepts it's 8%[/b] Tips: Want to make a newbie experience better? Well, how about some "doable" quests at the start? At least 1 or 2 which are kinda hard to solve but made a way that makes em easy to solve. That way you get to know what is required to solve the quests. [b]It would be neat to see a new puzzle of some sort, but remember that most of the quests in this game are made by the players. Occasionally there will be a challenge that Mur gives to people, but those are rare.[/b] [/quote] My edits are in bold.
  11. I had -1 credits once, after getting the free avatar that came with unlocking the feature. Wasn't too sure if it was a common issue or not, but it was easily remedied through free credits, not that I can complain anyways, because I've never personally bought credits PS: It's highly improbably that someone can just get your ID number and give you negative credits, seeing as ID numbers are quite a public thing and can be easily seen by anybody through triggers box or PM.
  12. Happy birthday! ...what ever happened to Cryx anyways?
  13. Good luck, don't forget MD >>
  14. Happy birthday <3
  15. The spread is bland, sourcrout and boiled goose

  16. King/alliance leader picks 3 people who will do the events, without knowing the events that will be used, and can't change those people. Example, Marind Bell chooses Chewett, Handy Pockets and nadrolski to represent them, and can't choose those people for the next two competitions. If a land doesn't have enough players, people with no homeland or from another (not main) land can be subbed in. If, say, Rendril competes for a main land, MDA can only give players to that land, and cannot have their own team. Not a perfect system, but I think it'd work.
  17. This, that and everything else?

  18. [quote name='Firsanthalas' timestamp='1284194433' post='68182'] First up, Rhaegar was let into the alliance along with other people when Grido and Z tried to rebuild it. He did not rebuild it from nothing like Jazira is now attempting to do. [b]He changed it, and you cannot deny that. It doesn't matter if he rebuilt it or not.[/b] Secondly, Rhaegar himself seemed to change the direction and ideas for the Church on several occassions. At one point he started to take up residence in the Tribunal Temple and he spoke about using it as a base for the Savels. That seemed to just peter out after a while. Then he wanted the Savels to be historians in Loreroot, then he started the avatar shop. There is more, but they are the big ones I can think of right off the top of my head. [b]Oh no, he tried to do other things! His life didn't revolve around the Savels 100%! He tried to give the Savels a NEW ROLE? BLASPHEMY! Nobody else has ever given an alliance a new role![/b] Thirdly, he's a blockhead with as much subtlety as a bull in a china shop. He has zero tact and succeeded in royally getting up a lot of people's noses with his crap. He still does. He had an issue with me from day 1. Why? Because he listened to and believed venomous crap that was still boiling over from old wounds in Loreroot. No matter what happened, he never ever got past that. In short, he was a source of conflict within Loreroot and outside it too. [b]That doesn't change the fact that you ONLY "put up with him" and didn't try to establish friendly ties. (Simply taking the information from your post, I don't pretend to know about your personal issues)[/b] I put up with Rhaegar for as long as I did for one simple fact. I was trying to be fair. I did not want my personal feelings towards him to cloud my judgement and I wanted to give him a chance. Many people felt that I was too soft and I believe that Rhaegar himself started to believe that I was somehow weak and he could push me as much as he wanted. Wrong on that score. He's a control freak. He seemed incapable of delegating tasks and only seemed to want to work with people when he felt like it or if he wanted to. By and large he showed little interest in working with anyone outside the Savels. [b]Why should he work with anybody if he doesn't want to? As an example, I'm not overly friendly with redneck. Am I going to go to him and say "Hey, wanna help me with a quest?", even if we're in the same alliance? It's not hard to ignore someone or something. For most people, anyways.[/b] He openly fostered a belief in at least some of the Savels, that if they were in the alliance before the kingship elections, then they didn't have to recognise the king. For any leader of any group in Loreoot to do such a thing is unacceptable. I also found out that things I said concerning his members were either not passed on or twisted. And he insisted that he deal with his members, not me. [b]Who cares about his beliefs? Lay down the law, don't stand there and "put up with him". There's a PM system and chat for speaking to people, you don't need to go through him. That's plain lack of effort on your part, if you really wanted to speak to them.[/b] Activity of the Savels... Towards the end of his tenure, there was little or none. Most of the members seemed inactive and at least one member seemed to spend more time outside the alliance than actually in it (not a personal dig by the way, merely the way things seemed). [b]You want to talk about inactives? Grayhawk, White Reaper, Mysteria Blue (seemingly back, but still had a long absence), Siala Lone Wolf, Cross Swords and Mojomuppet (not 100% sure) in GotR, and I won't even mention the ones in CoE. This is not intended as a shot at GotR or CoE, just don't complain about inactives if you've got plenty under your command.[/b] When I booted him there was almost no reaction from them. Infact, some of them seemed completely oblivious to what had happened. Personally I was disappointed. I had expected more of a reaction, any reaction. When Marv took over he tried to contact the members and got almost no response until he kicked people. [b]Not everybody reads the forum, where it all happened, and as you said, many were inactive.[/b] Savelite items.... Rhaegar aggressively sought the items that he felt belonged to the church. He was very insistent (to put it mildly) that they belonged to the church. Where are they now? He refused to return the ones he had to Marvolo, when Marvolo took over. I guess that they only belong to the church if Rhaegar is running it. Maybe it should be called the church of Rhaegar? [b]Rhaegar bought the items with his own funds, I'm assuming. If another Muffin Man came along and replaced you without your permission, would you willingly give him your muffin-related items if you still considered muffins to be part of your role?[/b] Alliance location.. Rhaegar himself stated to me very clearly that the Savels belonged in Loreroot and would never leave. [b]Opinions change, get over it.[/b] Savelite memorial.... Yeah, I find this a mixture of funny and sickening really. For starters it is really a homage to himself and one or two others, as well as a two fingered salute to myself and the rest of Loreroot. He's missing at least one name of an older member from that list and he has included names of people that had long gone before his demise and also some people that were barely there or did anything at all. The Savels are also not dead, so having a 'memorial' is in poor taste in my opinion. [b]Marv's Savels were no better than what you seemingly believe Rhaegar's were, and Jazira's plans don't even look like the Savelite Church, they look like the Loreroot Church. Who really cares if he's missing a few names, or included some extra, just because? In the end, it's up to him who goes on, not you. If you disagree, talk to him about it, otherwise, keep your opinion of it to yourself.[/b] The ultimate irony though, is that the alliance should have a memorial, because it should be put to bed in my opinion. But it seems that people in MD have an inability to let go of the past and move on. If this new incarnation of the alliance does not make something of itself it will be going to alliance heaven. Make no mistakes about it. [b]Yey, threats to people who actually wish to see Savelites restored.[/b] As for a memorial, that should be something that is done by the MD community (or at the very least the land of the alliance), not by one or two people with an axe to grind. [b]So, instead of the former leader of the alliance in question, you'd rather either have everybody (most of the people in this group have never had anything to do with the alliance), or you (who has never been in the alliance) decide who goes on the list? Not to mention, of course, that NOBODY can dictate what who puts on clickables except Mur. You want something else for the memorial? Do it yourself.[/b] Rhaegar had his chance. He blew it royally, so stop this nonsense of saying he should have it back. It is time to give someone else a chance or put the alliance to bed once and for all. [b]Yeah, he blew it because of a personal issue between you and him. It was not because of all of that "abuse" you put up with, and it was not because he created an unofficial Lorerootian group without your permission. These things are easily ignored.[/b] [/quote] Now, I don't know about the rest of the community, but I'm tired of hearing you ***** and moan and try to justify yourself. I am also VERY tired of hearing Marv spout off every time Rhaegar and the Savels are mentioned in the same paragraph. Everybody knows both of your positions and opinions on the subject already, so the only reasons I can see for these posts are attempts at justification or just pure hatred, and either way, both reasons make you a "blockhead with as much subtlety as a bull in a china shop", in my opinion. My edits in bold. Sorry for longpost/rant.
  19. I got one that said UK...captchas are evil.

  20. -Angien eggs required no effort, just age. -Yes, they take up creature slots, but the slots can still be used, even though the creature occupying them can't be sacced for any great reward any more. -More time wouldn't have even helped most people unless you asked for an unreasonable amount. A reasonable amount to ask for is 1-2 weeks, not 1-2 months. This is basically asking for compensation for NOT doing work.
  21. I checked logs, WP shows up. [quote]Totenkopf Tarquinus 661 Wish 42 Yes Details 15/06/10 09:39:02[/quote] Details say it was used for Oak Tower.

      You should wear sunscreen for that...

  23. Or just start translating basic stuff, such as restrictions, known issues, help pages, etc. It's not a horrible thing to have something started if you do get the go-ahead, or whatever it is you need from Mur, and if you don't, then that's too bad, I guess? Don't see why Mur would say no to a translation, though.
  24. [quote name='Tipu' timestamp='1283645625' post='67692'] Solution Beating loreroot guards will gain access into LR - that not a spoiler use blah blah blah creature to defeat LR guards thats a spoiler. [b]This is how it is (or should be), not sure what you're saying.[/b] Lore root Guards The first set guards - an average player can defeat, but the second is way too hard to defeat them. The ritual has been changed there is no weakness in their strength. The old easy way of defeating the LR guards is now no more only brute force can take them down. Only players who have defeated them lately can understand what iam talking about. The Aimed Hit ability for LR archer have changed the Odds. [b]I can't be 100% sure, but I'm 80-90% sure that the old method is still a viable option, if you modify it just a tiny bit.[/b] my request is players should not get personal EXP for Lost battles against LR guards. This will make many player to try and find solution by themselves rather than asking some one. [b]This, I agree with, though it would probably be hard for Mur to do.[/b] Weapon sets : the above can solve this problem too. [b]Not sure what you're talking about here, explain a bit? But in any case, weapons/armour are not necessary for anything, really, but they do help.[/b] Tokens and MD shop creatures: I have no solution for this one. well i used to give them false rumors that they have negative side effects [b]While these things do give quite a bonus, it is quite possible to beat them with normal things, or even to get them without paying (free credits), and even if you don't beat them, it's only a few losses. By the way, it's never really a good idea to spread false rumours.[/b] [/quote] Good job for thinking up ideas, in any case. My edits are in bold.
