    I was wondering about clay for for MB too, interesting!

    Pipstickz reacted to Nep in Unique Land Resources   
    I was thinking, maybe we could make actual bricks...
    MB: Clay -> Brick.
    Tool: Some kind of shovel
    Processor: Furnace
    The reasoning behind this is that clay is most commonly found in/near riverbeds and lakes, which MB has plenty of. Molding that into the shape of a brick then burning it at the right temperature should yield some solid bricks we can use. 
    Ah, Fyrd beat me to it with the clay idea, oh well

    Fine grades of clay harvested from the banks of the river
    Pottery shaping tools for roofing tiles, sewer pipes, pots, cups, and dishes.
    A kiln to fire any of the above.

    Pipstickz reacted to Fyrd Argentus in New Screen should start at top   
    This is particularly an issue when scrolling down through 6 feet (2 meters ) of inventory stuff, then you go back to the navigation screen.  You find yourself at the bottom of 6 feet of blank space, and need to scroll back to the top again.
    You could fix this by automatically starting new screens/refreshes at the top of the window, instead of preserving previous position.

    Pipstickz got a reaction from jakubhi in What are all the stats?   
    Regeneration is a combat stat. It heals your creatures after you fight with them. Some creatures have it naturally, others may need to borrow yours via influence.
    Energetic immunity is a stat that buffers against the negative effects of walking. In particular the higher your EI the less VE you lose by walking in places other than your homeland (doesn't work for No Man's Land citizens).
    Trade sense is a stat that buffers against shop prices. The higher your trade sense, the less WI you need to buy armour.
    Briskness will increase the amount of heat you can harvest with your Erolin Device.
    Initiative is a combat stat. It determines which creature will move first in a battle.
    Defence & Attack are interlinked combat stats. If my creature has 10 attack and yours has 2 defence, my creature will do 8 damage to yours (if it uses the "damage" ability).
    Power is both a combat and non-combat stat. Mostly it's used to influence creature abilities such as heal, lifesteal, martyrism. Outside of combat it can also influence some spells.
    Luck is both a combat and non-combat stat. In combat it will randomly affect your creature's performance, usually helping in an unpredictable way. Outside combat it can give you little surprises sometimes just for walking along.
    Volition is gained simply by walking. Gaining more of it has no direct effect as of yet, though it's a good way to compare who has moved around more in the past.
    Cartography lowers the AP cost of moving between scenes. If a scene costs 50 and you've got 40 cartography you'll still need at least 50 AP to move there, but it will only cost 10.
    The following are stats related to resource gathering, or some to crafting. As far as I'm aware they all do the same thing but for different resources. The more of a particular resource-related skill you have, the more efficiently you can use the tool that lets you gather that resource. Some are easier to guess what they're for than others, but I'll leave it to you to figure out which is for what. Some stats cover multiple tools or activities.
     
    All information is based on my own incomplete knowledge, so feel free to correct me.

    Pipstickz reacted to Fyrd Argentus in Creature Marks should be Marind Bell   
    a) Winderwild mark is current GG, but they are only found in Marind Bell.
    b) The mark for Marind Bell, for archers, is "MarindsBell" with an S.  Yes, I often add the S but I think I'm wrong -- the map has no S.

    Pipstickz reacted to lashtal in [Quest] Time to take a bath?   
    Summer is coming, the sun is up in the sky and so is morale...
    For this quest you have to create a bathing suit for one of your creatures. Not draw, mind you, create.
    You can use whatever material and technique you wish, the more it is related to the creature you picked the better.
    One piece, two pieces... Three? Your call. Don't worry, you don't have to wear it, although... ????
     
    Like all creative quests, the picture you take should include a visible MD sign and your name.
    Please send your submissions to me and Fyrd Argentus via forum PM, the deadline is June 20, 19 server time.
    On that evening we'll have a nice parade and the best suit will be chosen (public vote + 'passion for fashion' jury).
     
    The rewards depend on the number of submissions.
    Base reward (less than 5 submissions): 10 gold coins for the 1st place, 30 silver note for the 2nd place, 10 silver note for the 3rd place.
    5 or more submissions: Additional prizes for all, including a WP for the 1st place.

    Pipstickz reacted to Ungod in Word houses for word smiths   
    I have been told I own some items that are far too delicious to not stir envy; therefore, I have decided to get rid of them, because of my fear of the evil eye. This contest has as rewards only common and uncommon RP items, your choice.
    The aim of this game is to create a structure made of words, with your name at its base; words can be written horizontally or vertically. However, in case they are laid horizontally on 'pillars' of different heights, they may fall diagonally or even in arcs - use this for enhanced effects. There should be no repeated words, save for unavoidable necessity and clever use; there should be no space between the words either, for extra durability.
    The idea behind the structure is that you create a ward of words, so it has to be strong and protect you. That doesn't mean it can't be fancy, and so bonus points will be given for various clever ideas, such as: only architecture related words, MD player names only, only words that start with a letter, structures that mimic a colisseum or a cathedral etc etc. However, the most important thing is that the outer shell/walls of this building is acting as a magnet to words that are similar. For example, if there is 'constable' in your outer wall, it will attract 'stability' to it and that means extra points. If it attracts 'corrosion', it means less points. More points, more items to win.
    Of course, the more positive boons, the more points, so you'll have to make a large structure (because words can bind only to outer walls). The positive boon list is: syntropy, stability, durability, intricacy, protection, cement, density, maintenance, design, defence, ward. The negative boon list is: entropy, corrosion, collision, humidity, ultrasonic, abrasion, attack, wind, rust, mould, weapon. These attach to syllables, so mnemonic will attract ultrasonic. 
    You only get to design one structure UNLESS you get three upvotes (because it will be posted in this thread). 3 upvotes mean you get to design another one, if you wish to; it doesn't mean I will give you more points, though (also, how you get those votes is not something i care about). This will run for at least one week, but will be extended if there is extra interest. Although I've written a wall of text, I'm sure I left some questions unanswered, so feel free to get more details.
    (very silly examples in the image below; also, list of boons is 'wrong')

    Pipstickz reacted to Ledah in Sacrifice Values   
    Big caveat that I am a pleb and assuming it is abilities and targets that give/influence stats when saccing crits, can't 100% remember.
    So - giving all abilities and targets sacrifice values for stats.
    Add in auras too, or maybe some other bonus for auras to further encourage raising creatures to higher levels. Then give the moss every aura
    Anyhow, for the first one, I'd suggest energyburn giving briskness.

    I'm trying to develop this scene (Coord: 3_3x-3_1) as a meeting place for role players, and a help-spot for newbies. 
    I am currently operating a lost-and-found/free table/prop box using the hanging mug rack clickie on the tree.  You could use this art, especially if there was an option to still use it as a clickie, or create a new bit of art (Aia did a good job activating as much as she could here for me).  I am at this moment the only user of this clickie and can recreate the info thereon as needed.
    I would like to automate this process using a "Treasury".  Title should be something like "Hung on Tree (Props / Lost & Found / Free Stuff)
    I'd also move the "job needed" advertisement for young creatures that no veteran wants here, and some consumables.
    Storage size 500/50 would be ample.  This would be for Legend Speakers business, of course.
    I consider this a semi-altruistic way to help the realm, so am asking if a single silver a week could keep it open.  Free would be better.

    If this location is chosen, do let me know, so that I may create the clicky as desired.

    There is at least one other location which may be of use in this regard. Mayhap, the Weaponsmith's could offer his hut for such a purpose?

    What group/land you represent in your request: No Man's Land
    Amount of Storage wanted (items): 500
    Amount of Storage wanted (creatures): 50
    How much you would pay (weekly) for this: Consumption of some of the resources stored in there, up to 50 units of resource per week. If less than 20 units of resource are consumed in a given week, treasury only accepts deposits, not withdrawals. The treasury could "choose" which resources to consume from a list of weighted preferences of which fenths should be at or near the top.
    Location you would put your treasury: 1_1x-3_1 House of Liquid Dust. Hopefully in the cracked ground to the left of the House, where it looks like two rectangles are meeting. (I've long thought that looked more like an artificial installation than a natural crack in the ground.
    Compet-erative (competitive/cooperative) treasury only available to non-homelanders.

    What group/land you represent in your request: Loreroot
    Amount of Storage wanted (items): 1000
    Amount of Storage wanted (creatures): 100
    How much you would pay for this: A one-time payment of beautification of Marind Bell, or another land of the Grand Duke's choice. This will involve removal of as many arrows and arrow-signs as possible, and replacement with larger path clickies.
    (This had previously been commenced in Marind Bell, but I was advised by Ungod, it's treasurer, that the Marind Bell treasury could not render fees for such services.)

    Location you would put your treasury: Within one of the dwellings in the boughs of Raven Hold (where there do exist some unused building-clickies).

    Location you would put your treasury: 1_2x-3_2, Within the Accursed Growth, "a damp cocoon" clicky.
