This is a discussion point for those doing this quest. Any others can join in, give their thoughts etc, but only the following people are eligible for the stated reward as these are the people who have responded to me (NB: At my sole discretion, others may receive a reward of some kind, also in the unlikely event that you messaged me and I’ve missed you, send me a PM): Eigger, Phantom Orchid, Shadowseeker, I am Bored, Kafuuka, Arturius Drachorn, Domonic The following is a summary of given theories and speculations as to what we need to do in the matter of restoring Bob’s branch. Please comment and elaborate on what you feel is good/bad etc. Adapt, construct and think about / post here the sequence of actions you feel we need to take. Light: Feeds the elements as a catalyst. Can heal- as per its stated description. Use as a guide to show the way. Time: Because all things take time. Use this to accelerate the process. Turn back time to the point of when Bob got injured. Use to keep things from going too fast and as a result fold in on themselves. Syntrophy: Life force entering the ashes and creating a re-formation. A counter to the effects of entrophy that have occurred. Use fertiliser to aide in this. Cyclicity: Life and death, the constant circle of life continues. Deals in opposites, and so could cause an opposite reaction if use with time being turned back. Living things are thought to have come from dust, then go back and reform again, this is cyclicity, so in this sense it is a major force of life and of this situation. Imagination: Use to mould the branch into the original branch and not a random one. Will aide the principle of light. Element: Bob is made of elements. Experiment with combining different elements and study well to see which works best. Transposition: Identify and understand elemental sources and use them to regenerate Bob’s parts. Use to reverse the situation. Balance: 1 mistake may be fatal so we need to work with balance to ensure things remain going the way we want them to go. Use this to first understand what happened, to understand the opposing effects. Spells: Cures- Cures works via an energetic fingerprint. As Priestess Aia for aide with principles of light and syntrophy, use amoran for the energy required as she is a dryad and as such has a connection to Trees. Tweak this energy to make the pattern resemble Bob’s. Apply the ashes as a paste and channel the energy of cures to it. *Make an salve from the ashes, apply the salve to the spot the branch was removed from. Salve will be made from various plants and herbs found in MD* Notes from Z: “Remember that light is not light itself it is the PRINCIPLE of light. This is not the same thing. A small notation that may be useful though: Modify or nullify balance for short periods, so help with protection, healing or even invincibility. Consider the use of a person with an appropriate aura in relation to the element principle. A note on Transposition: Total understanding of identity is to take into account all stages of time for that objects existence into one continuous thought is this of any use to us? Also bear in mind… Hard to use balance to your favour, more art of chance and presumption.” (NB: before anyone says it, there is loads and I mean loads an enemy can do on this quest if they think about it. For example - give a full analysis of the system of degradation of the branch. So it's open for all to participate in that sense, and the quest will become role play once it hits a point, enemies can then revolt in response and still gain recognition for it. Think outside the box ) Z

So when these two left i made them a little ode...they came back but basically if an enemy or Kith/Kin leaves the game (whether they come back later or not)...an Ode is due: Dst, Bob's greatest enemy you called him every name you could think of A great arch nemesis to me and all of those who guard Bob You said he should be termite ridden you said he should have died you had support from those well hidden and those who always lied To DST, the (wo!)man of the hour The one who made us fight Be well my greatest enemy we move on to our latest plight! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tzaroth was a man of respect and carried with him intellect that drove him to the places where of his talents we became aware Swiftly his reputation grew the divide inside not one of us knew and then it erupted for all to see but we stood fast and did not flee by Khalazdad's aide he felt complete and slumbering at the plains of deciet his aura there will always be I pay my dues respectfully.

[quote name='Kriskah Arcanu' post='32939' date='Jun 7 2009, 08:21 PM']I trully like the first drawing of Z but I would add diferent "marks" surrounding Bob, in representation of each one of his protectors. K[/quote] Great idea! Z

[quote name='Grim Angel' post='32943' date='Jun 7 2009, 08:45 PM']Boo Bob boo BURN Bob boo [/quote] I also expect Guardians to kill Ledah...LOL Z edit: yes my appologies DST, I also expect you to Kill Dst...or at the very least give Dst to verbal abuse like...Dst you are such a big meanie im gunna stomp on you so there

[center]As is obvious anyone is capable of Guarding Bob, but that does not mean anyone is accepted as the group of family I call the Guardians. This group is split into various sections depending on your dedication and loyalty to your fellows, but i wont go into that here. Here is a basic outline of what I expect to see from fundamental dedicated Guardians - who know who they are. This post is mostly for everyone else...as Guards should already know this...[/center] [color="#696969"] - The Guardians of Bob are a family. We are tied by one common interest that stands above all others. We protect Bob. It doesn't matter your alliance, your personality nor your reputation so long as you display the right characteristics.[/color] [color="#C0C0C0"]- Because we protect Bob, we also protect each other. Damaging a Guardian of Bob is a damage to Bob himself as it leaves him less well protected.[/color] [color="#696969"]- Our duty is therefore to Bob, and to those who truely protect him. [/color] [color="#C0C0C0"] - I do not expect Guardians to be flamboyant about what they do.[/color] [color="#696969"]- I expect Guardians to have for want of a better word a "faith" in Bob, and in those who are their family. I expect Guardians to just "know" that Bob is a wonder, without a need for anything special. THAT is what makes US special. We recognise something about Bob....what it is, we each individually know, and when we speak and we listen to one another, we can see it, that each of us know what the other does, without actually having had to have said a word.[/color] [color="#C0C0C0"]- Guardians do not hand out secrets about Bob whatever they may be. Nor about one another.[/color] [color="#696969"] - If someone asks about Bob I expect a Guardian to answer in the appropriate way. [/color] [color="#C0C0C0"]- I do not expect Guardians to attack each other when they stand at Bob's side, because when you stand with Bob, you are "on duty" so to speak. Now you SHOULD be on duty all the time. Eyes and ears open, no attacking other Guardians unless you are training, but I know from most of you, that is too much to ask, so I don't bother to, however, the first part remains true. At Bob, we do not attack each other - but you can attack ANYONE who passes, and if they complain, they have both me and your entire family to deal with.[/color] [color="#696969"] - Finally....Bob is your priority, if you doubt that, if you can't cope with that, if you don't agree with that- then we need to have a talk, because you arn't a Guardian in my eyes for nothing. [/color] Something else that might be of interest to you... - If it turns out I made a bad decision about you, that you don't truely protect Bob, I WILL turn on you. Make no mistake. I will ensure this family knows every detail of why and how you betrayed us and I will not forgive you. You betray my trust but once.

Here is what has already been said on the matter, I've already stated i was going to transfer everything so if anyone wants their words removed tell me ASAP [b]Artelan:[/b] Tree lead me to meet Z and more people and for that i protect tree [b]Aldwin30:[/b] i protect bob because i want to protect life itself or..where it came from nature!! and bob is the ultimate sign of that !! but that's not my main reason Bob is a friend and he listens to all that i say He leads me to the right way He protects me from the eyes of society With his divine grace and piety So now i'm on a quest to save his soul as he saved mine he was there when i needed him so i need to be there when he needs me to pay him back for all the things that he did [b]Ailith:[/b] I remember what it's like to feel lonely, I like protect those who need it, Bob makes me laugh, Bob attracts people I want to be friends with, His presence calms me, and also.... Whenever I am sad, angry etc I always seem to end up going to sit by Bob and it makes me feel better! He is a Prince among trees! [b]Granos:[/b] Black mailed into it... [b]Aurora Borealis:[/b] Bob is a constant, he is always there ... for a wandering soul, a constant is like coming home ... Homes need to be protected. [b]Prince Lewas:[/b] In my eye, Bob symbolizes the nature itself... The nature is the source of life and life must be protected. Without any reasonable reason, justifiable vengefulness and anything else nobody should require the death of an innocent one. Since Bob does harm to nobody. Anyway, the company of Bob is superb and odd. He always listens to me, cheers me up and radiates calmness what everybody needs - so do I, one of the archivists... I gladly help to protect him as I can... just name the ones who bear malice to you, Bob By the way, Bob, I wish you a long rainfall and a very nice day!!! [b]FumaKilla:[/b] To promote "Planet Green" campaign on MD World! [b]Tzaroth747:[/b] In all things of nature, infinity lies Life breathing deep within it's heart Never an absence of light, out there--- Here come we, the thinking ones Bringing definition to the meaningless As we mark and label all that we see. Without us Bob is a tree, without a name, One amongst many, altho alone is he Silent standing sentinel of loneliness Within our heart, within our mind, We have the desire to grow, and share The love and laughter along our way. Fate's left hand is black as night, And marks poor souls with terrible plight As loss and misfortune fill their path Upon burdened shoulders pain is heaped Full of woe and misery and sadness 'Till nothing is left of their light--- Twisted now, screaming now, raging now, They stalk thru the land with a sole goal To infect the world with their hate. With their flaming and embittered eyes They stare at Bob with dark intent And gleefully plan his utter demise But we, full of the beauty of the world, Stand righteous in front of the Tree To protect his life, and all that he stands for. [b]Phantasm:[/b] A tough question to ask. I never intended to protect Bob or even cared. Z was a smart man to talk to and I enjoyed having long conversations and talkin philosophy with him. As Z became a close friend, I noticed Bob more and more. Now I protect Bob not only as Z's friend but also as his. [b]Intrigue:[/b] I can't explain why I do what I do for Tree... or even why I address him as I do... but.. take a walk with me sometime, see Tree through my eyes... maybe you'll understand.... [b]Blackwoodforest:[/b] He is the root of all even this world. He is giving me a place called home and a point to find inner freedom and meditation. His guardian is my friend, so shall he.

For you my blood will shed.. Because you have cared for me everyday.. And always listened to what i have to say.. [b]Intrigue:[/b] Lonely Tree, Lonely Tree, Are ye still alone as I sit by Thee? Watch those who pass along the road, Naught of thought of you or me. [b]Kouros:[/b] Ancient Tree both tall and broad, Full of leaf, flower and fruit, Cool shade and refreshing dew, What wisdom did you hold? Secrets of power ripe for plucking Withered now and twisted of limb Barren and blighted by power unknown, What will it take to renew your vigour? Daily we care for you begging and pleading Show leaf, show flower, show any sign at all That one day you’ll be green again Proud, and straight, and tall. [b]Khalazdad:[/b] Tree, tree of life, Loreroot’s avatar and sigil, Survivor of droughted strife, Standing such a lonely vigil. Guarded by these mortal men, Sleeping, smoking, telling stories, Of distant woodsmen, Kith and Kin, Harkening to faded glories. Sleep well, sapling of old mother, Slumber in peaceful contemplation, In this, the age of Sister and Brother, Safe from evil and isolation. Guarded by these mortal men, Harkening to faded glories. [b] Kouros and Tzaroth747:[/b] Bob, noble Tree, lonely but not alone, You stand as a silent sentinel, and gather about you strange creatures of beauty, A mix, each on their own of a different make, But all sharing a similar love, a common purpose, You, most worthy, to you we devote our affection, our kindness, our protection, Water, and nuts, and hugs, and fertiliser, And other nice things, all of these we shower upon you, As we both walk along with busy plans, Or stop to stand and admire your quiet beauty, Friends, you have, friends enough to make the enemies keep their distance, Ever aware of our staunch vigilance, Fear not, great Tree, For your protectors are watching. [b] Ledah:[/b] Burn, Bob,burn! I really wanna watch Zlei yearn, As he realises tis all for naught, And you’re your ashes in an Urn. Purple, green or orange fire, I’ll make you into a Sacred Pyre! I really wanna burn you, Bob, Burn, burn, burn =D [b] Z:[/b] Bobby is my favorite Tree By his side I love to be and when he blooms excitedly I often faint with pure glee! Some thought that tree was surely dead From it's protectors they often fled Protectors shot them in the head Hide the bodies...garden shed... Oh Bob the Tree you are divine you have a new friend in Aqune who'll help us conquer Dst now wouldn't that be lov-el-y

Like it Burns, if Im thinking about what you are saying right that is lol. So...if you can trade *just* the token? is that what you mean? and the token would then (obviously, otherwise you might as well just be able to put the token where you wanted it in the first place) get randomly assigned among the person who bought it's creatures? Z

Well I could argue also there is a very good reason why you do not have a delete button option if that is your point of view on the matter. I could, if I were to play devils advocate on such a point of view, say that by having that delete button you are in effect removing the part of the purpose of the tokens among other arguments that could be made. As my point of view is not the same as yours, I just thought I would level the playing field a little on the topic, because obviously people will say yes to the suggestion if they follow that line of thought. Any additional feature that can only have a positive effect (such as the choice to delete a token or leave it) will obviously gain a positive response - but that doesn't mean it's the best course of action for an issue at hand. Bugs fixed? Excellent. Z

I have to say I agree the random thing is a little silly. If it were random for any creature that it would beneficially effect- that would be alright, but like this it's just naff really. Especially when you consider that if you use an alt you can just put it on the creature you want it on anyway by cheating, so in a sense it promotes cheating. That in addition to the bugs and what lifeline has just pointed out AND the fact that in my opinion once you get multiple tokens on your creature the artwork is ruined with excessive splodges, well...lets just say i'm not feeling the love for the tokens right now. Z

[quote name='SageWoman' post='32771' date='Jun 4 2009, 11:22 PM']That takes 30 minutes? So what...you disrobe and FOLD your clothes and speak slowly stretching out the words? I think this prayer/ritual needs more thought. [/quote] "Shh...they disrobe for 30 minutes...." ~: Zleiphneir :~

If im not mistaken, that's basically a major part of the Archivist's job.....to Archive events. That's how it always should be, yet when I look at the archives it doesnt look like that is happening and the only archivist I see checking whats going on all about the place and asking questions is Awiiya. So; nice one for bringing it up Pample. Z

You can find an example from the sandman online if you google the oldest game. I think it's about the imaginitive way in which you use whatever you have chosen. So, correct me if I'm wrong, but it would depend on how they had worded the desert and how you worded the water response...I think... So my examples would be: I am the desert, arid and dry, cracker of skins, heat propegating evaporator of fluids so just water wouldnt do here in my opinion....unless you use your imagination...so perhaps....if correctly worded...a Tsunami or a flood. In proportion you know? Or maybe an oasis, or something more abstract.... but i believe you have to start small and build it up as the point of the exercise. Im sure Than here can elaborate far better than I in any event, but i'm so up for this. Z

Well now this looks interesting.....very interesting indeed.... Z

[quote name='LunarGoddess' post='31278' date='May 16 2009, 11:59 PM']I agree, there is nothing to fight about. The damage has already been done.[/quote] My point was more there was no point in arguing the matter with him in the first place. It is his alliance to do with as he chooses, he has said categorically on many ocassions that he is Neutral no matter his land tag. I find it asinine anyone would be arguing with him over this. Z

If Kragel and his alliance hasn't agreed to anything, he and it arn't bound to anything. Plain and simple. No point in arguing about it. Z

Yea just a little bit off topic LOL No question marks for Granos and Dragoonus. Two fantastic players. Two of my all time favorites in fact.
