Fascinating, I wasn't aware of this... To continue with the original purpose I planned for this thread so long ago, here is the full declassified "Secret Directive to SoS" with some redactions. Suppose I'll let the pieces fall where they may. For anyone wondering, this document is what this post is referring to. Anyone who wishes to know my opinion on this matter at the present time, I refer you first to the text of my Hate List: and ask that you come to me in-game for a discussion if that doesn't satisfy you.

Nya-nya na boo-boo! I posted fir-rst!

Did I say I thought Sunfire should be removed from consideration? Nice strawman, fool. We're all hypocrites here, Azull, welcome to the family. Come with a better argument if you'd like to refute his point.

I opened this topic before Sunfire was even in consideration, which is just another reason his claim is so spectacularly weak. But yes I agree these unwashed fools (spam) should leave my topic.

As a note, They also submitted an entry just after the deadline. They also was rewarded one bone and one fine sand for this entry. Of all the answers I'd say the answer to "How many are there?"is the most interesting. With that settled, this topic can probably be closed.

I always saw it as - DoT only happens during night (or night applicable times?) but night doesn't always happen during DoT - but the fact that Mur added combat effects to nightmode suggest to me that perhaps he changed his mind somewhere down the road? (https://magicduel.com/page/Announcement/view/2612) - not sure Weren't you the legacy project for night mode? I thought Mur did that so we wouldn't lose/forget these details in the papers on his desk But maybe I'm wrong too!

I believe I had the most separate types of land loyalty before this change happened, and I believe I still do after it!

I loved the prompts for this quest, a fun thought exercise, interesting to be pushed in different ways to write into the questions And I love your unabashed self judging Keep it up good sir!

If it helps at all, I thought the masks looked good for their purpose, perhaps if they were more complicated I'd be too overwhelmed to even try to decode them! Cool, creative quest, was fun to try out at least, if only those ladies didn't beat me to it so fast

In an entirely RLme way for a moment...where's the fun in a (barely, since Sunfire's still piggybacking on someone else's claim[<---this part's in character]) binary choice where everyone's already made up their mind? Where's the magic in that? Just a thought

"You are one step away from the reality you know" says the man. "Your actions and your blind fury turned you into a shade long time before you realised it. " Try me.

An addendum; Lord Pip killed Necrovion before it was cool. That's all.

Isaland I thought about Islaand, but it didn't feel right. Reasoning should be fairly self-evident. Edit: Heck maybe if you're feeling saucy you could go with Isalanda!

For posterity's sake on this most momentous day (why momentous? Figure out yourself!) For those who are still confused after these years...how do they call it, retrocausality? Scanning through this topic...did anybody have the courage to say, in these or similar words, "No Pip, you are not king!"...closest anyone came was No one, repeating his same old song, too bad it's outdated:

Aaaaand time's up with zero entries. Thanks to Azull for offering to judge and Nimrodel for your sponsorship!

I'd be ok if the attack sound was removed altogether. The yellow icon and chat message (with its own sound) should be enough to notify one, no? But maybe some people like it

I see combat as a necessary component to MD, same way Day of Tranquility is a necessary component to MD. If you don't fight/train, you're missing out. If you don't have Days of Tranquility, you're missing out.

Procrastinators beware, about a week left until the deadline!

After 0700 ST (tonight for me) or later would be good for me, or tomorrow at a similar time, with a few hours in the morning (19-23 or so)

Permanently or temporarily? If Temporarily, it's a Dendrite that targets oneself, which is kind of interesting. If Permanent, there's nothing else like that out there to my knowledge. This could help people who want negative stats and could possibly provide a way for people with no creatures and tons of negative stats to return to balance. Maybe...he could have an influence that causes gained stats from a battle he's involved in to be multiplied by -1. So you get -0.08 attack for winning, for example. Personally I can't see myself using it, but I'd collect it if keeping it didn't mess my stats up! Sorry to burst your bubble, I know you wanted criticism/bashing...

Is this what you meant, Nim?

Can I enter as an alt? Seeing as Pip is on a tropical vacation... If so, MRPip, MP5. If not, that's ok too

In a utopian MD with more activity, perhaps the chained quests concept could fit nicely with this; imagine tiered quests, starting with one a newb could complete that rewards land-specific resources, leads to a more complicated quest that requires or suggests you to pay a toll to access a certain place the price of which is a resource gained by the first quest, leads to a more complicated quest that could end in citizenship? Also - perhaps as a player gains more cartography, tolls lower naturally? Or maybe volition? I'm not sure...maybe even land loyalty, though presumably citizens get through free, I dunno. But that could help prevent full closure of any location. Dang it, foiled again! Good thing I didn't put 100%! I almost did

Sure, if implemented a certain way, things like you suggest could possibly happen. If implemented another way, they won't. Aside from that, Kings have in the past been given authority to affect AP cost on their gates (Ann. 1949, 1950) and the AP cost of all scenes in the Tribunal were raised under similar but separate authority (Ann, 1884) So, while this isn't exactly your extreme example, it comes close and it's already happened historically.
