[quote name='dst' post='33450' date='Jun 13 2009, 09:19 PM']As for suggestions: I like the riddle solving. Also we can make it with 2 directions: 1 week you provide the riddle and the next one the enemies come with a riddle.[/quote] This is their thing not mine....but I like this suggestion. Z

"Hmm....I will never trust enemies no matter whether they solve a riddle or not...however...I like this. I like that it causes another battle...a battle of mind....enemies brains against Guardian's brains. Do not expect me to participate. I am far too slow for such affairs. I will NEVER agree to let you harm Tree, whether you solve a riddle or not. You should know that by now.... ~Zleiphneir~ " I love this idea guys. Very nice. Z

[quote name='cryxus' post='33271' date='Jun 12 2009, 03:03 AM']i think i answered most of those problems in my post... and mine is definitely through tremendous arcane effort. As far as help i think people are overlooking someone... oh well, i s'pose technicly im not eligible, i just feel inclined to make sense of the use of principles in magic...[/quote] Sorry Cryx, your thought process on principles is interesting but I have to tell you, you haven't answered nearly half of what needs to be discussed. As per my having to ask a load more questions of everyone. So far, overall including information that isnt in this thread- the best, most thought through answers have come from ShadowSeeker. "Technically elidgible"....as I said right at the start: It really depends on how much you put in as to how much you get out. In honesty, this quest is more for people who like to analyse, and enjoy roleplay. It isn't designed for those who work on Carrot and Horse ideals. Perhaps this is where it falls down in general...disappointingly enough. Z

aldwin30: Bob i wish for you the gift of movement aldwin30: The only worthy and needed improvement aldwin30: Sight would certainly scar your visage and grace aldwin30: You would see the world living in disgrace.. aldwin30: Speech will denyof your ambience and solitude aldwin30: Which will certainly erase my will and fortitude.. aldwin30: Hearing shall give you nothing but pain and suffering aldwin30: It gives your a plethora of memories not worth remembering... aldwin30: With movement you could come with me to a better place.. aldwin30: A place away from this one...towards a kinder and gentler race...

Great idea with the time travel, but a little over-complicated perhaps in this instance. Lets veer off that one for the moment, maybe we can discuss that as a concept somewhere, make a new thread for it, seems like an interesting discussion topic - but I’m not on board with it as an action for this quest. Same thing with Philosopher’s stone – I like how you think outside the Box Eigger It looks like a lot of you feel that we should be burying the ashes in order for Bob to absorb them up again – is that what you all want to do? Or do you want to create this “paste”? or...both? If imagination is a key to the final shape and structure, then we need to have a unified ideal of the look of the branch, so I will need people to agree on the look please. Just a little comment for those who may understand it....something is always easier to imagine when it is right in front of you.... It also appears to be important we work out the “identity” both of Bob and of the damage. Comments please? If energy consumption is important and balance is important...how do you think we accommodate this in our actions? Now I never said it had to happen fast...so accelerating time is not necessarily important, Time exists and doesn’t anyway....but do we feel we want speed? If so that’s a whole new ball game and we need to have a discussion about the meaning of time and how to use and abuse it. Has it crossed anyone’s mind as to who we might have aide us? Who in the realm could offer us advice? And also...the fact that some people arn’t going to want to allow this to happen? Storm makes an interesting point in the use of Transposition.... And I will say this again as no one has mentioned it.... Consider the use of a person with an appropriate aura in relation to the element principle. Z

I dont usually comment on Bifday threads...but happy birthday Lightsage....not with a Y.... (Can anyone else who hates cookies and Y being added to the ends of people's names PM me...) Z

[quote name='Akasha' post='33200' date='Jun 11 2009, 06:27 AM']I know , back then was also a Steve name for him? Or that is another tree?[/quote] Originally Steve and Bob were the two names that people called him "live in realm" as it were....some people still call him Steve on rare occassions ^^ but I stick by what I said...Jonn came up with calling him Bob, if you want to know why you'll have to ask Jonn when he's around Z

SWORD SLASH Hand, grip tight, with all your might Spirit, hear my soul-fed plight Wrap around so stealthily For none could be what we can be You, an exten-sion of me LEADER SPIRIT: Come orange and black, engulf me May that sound rise, may that ocean become me One mind, one spirit, the voice of unity For my eyes are yours, yours to see SEDUCTION Charm of wide eyed child Stealth of hidden leaf Animated vision Pull that beggars belief Simplistic soft sensations Induced Hallucinations From wanted Fascinations Imbued to your elations To be more than was thought of To be more than a wish When they recall their Autumns To remember only bliss BLACK WATER Slide in and enter like silence Your fusion, the passion of violence A coating, so viscous and sticky in one Your own mind will make you what you will become PROTECTION Stalk and have me in your grasp Such a feeling meant to last I pull from you the fire you hold And send it back one hundred fold

[quote name='Chewett' post='33133' date='Jun 10 2009, 06:31 AM']Perhaps your sentence should say Bob was NOT named via a forum poll The poll actually came out that we should call him Sage.[/quote] heh heh heh.....ahem....ah yes...but when the "decision" was made (dubious ground this), Bob was the leader no? It is only subsequently that "Sage" pushed up over isn't it?...and I've heard all sorts of ridiculous things about Bob's name anyway....so I'm keeping it simple - forum Poll, and Jonn....or if we prefer, I'll just cite Jonn seeing as that's who named him Bob I prefer Jonn's story to the forum one anyway. Z

[quote name='adiomino' post='33125' date='Jun 10 2009, 12:31 AM']Who named bob? [color="purple"]Merged, please edit into your posts rather than making a new one - Grido[/color][/quote] Bob was named via a forum Poll, which you can still find if you seek it out. Although in honesty I credit Jonn with naming him Bob. Zleiphneir doesn't call him Bob though, he calls him Tree, but I call him Bob Where would your bugs live if there were no Trees Dst Z

Bob is the name that people have given to the Tree that stands on the path of Lonliness. People protect him for lots of different reasons, for each person, it is different...but our protection of him binds us. Some of us more than others. He is magnificent in every way. For Zleiphneir (my character) and for me, the reasons are long and complicated...and perhaps not even I understand myself....but I will quote my papers for you to make a start...its a long read....but you asked.... [center]When you enter the world, you usually at least have you mother, or doctors, or an adopted family. You have someone around, or it’s simple, you don’t survive. As an adult, you don’t have such luxuries as those. Unlike in the usual way...when we are born into THIS realm, the realm of MagicDuel, we are older than a baby and have nobody. Not a soul. We know no one and we know nothing. We are feeble, knowledgeless and often blind. We are, for want of a better word, a blank canvas. Alone, and unprotected. When I walked this realm I found someone else who was like that, surrounded, but still alone. Damaged, and never fixed. Offering, but never being accepted. That someone, was Bob. My affinity for Bob grew with each passing day, from the moment I saw him I loved him. He was my brother, my reflection, in fact, he was everyone’s reflection, perhaps they just didn’t realise that. I felt connected to Bob, and I would often stay with him a while here and there to just...be there. Words are all very well, but I always found the best thing someone can do when you are alone is sit beside you, and say nothing. Astonishingly it appeared there were people who disliked this Tree, people who, for some unknown reason meant to harm him, meant to destroy him. This enraged me. It boiled my blood to see the hatrid they had not only of something so fragile and beautiful, but of themselves. Bob is a respresentation of the life force of the very realm we inhabit, our first steps and our root. He is a mirror for each and every one of us, smashing a mirror in this instance won’t only bring you seven years bad luck, it destroys the image of you that stood within it. The feeling of sorrow for doing such a thing will haunt you forever, you may not even realise what that feeling is or why you feel that way. I will not allow Bob to be harmed and I will not allow others to harm themselves by harming him. Heed my words well, Bob is and will always be Guarded, whether it be by me or the many others who stand at my side for his cause. Zleiphneir[/center]

Nice one Renata! Z

[quote name='Burns' post='33081' date='Jun 9 2009, 08:21 AM']... you had that message twice, and i already wondered what that would be about XD and then, Akasha is being bitchy sometimes, but almost never without a reason, so i'd like to hear what the other messages you sent her sound like...[/quote] I also wondered about that myself, and I think Burns is correct; We are missing a lot of information and it seems very odd to me to post those messages on the forum. In addition to what Burns said about this particular thread of messages we are also missing other information, such as what has happened before with interactions. Also, saying you messaged her because she is an LHO seems a bit misleading to me when it's a personal question about a personal creature battle between yourself and Akasha, it isn't worded in an "Im asking an LHO a question" kind of way. I won't go on - the point is, something doesn't gel here. [quote name='Yrthilian' post='33083' date='Jun 9 2009, 09:03 AM']I would suggest if you are not happy with how something is handeled then go to the one in charge of the section. For this particular issue you should have reported this to Grido as this is i beleve now his responisablity.[/quote] Quite right. [quote name='Yrthilian' post='33083' date='Jun 9 2009, 09:03 AM']I have heard roumer that stuff like this is planed to get her into trouble. I can assure you of this if it is found to be true there will be big trouble.[/quote] I just thought that was worth repeating, I won't comment, for now. Z

[quote name='Jester' post='33063' date='Jun 8 2009, 10:25 PM']Hey, I'm still on the list? I did tell you I'd stop, but if you insist on me being an enemy of Bob I suppose I can oblige. Now to start plotting...[/quote] I dont think you remember quite what you told me....and i dont think you want me to post it here... Z

[quote name='Burns' post='33031' date='Jun 8 2009, 06:01 PM']and i'm missing, even though i always kill all guards when i pass by... oh well, Zlei wouldn't know as he's a constantly ally-less mp4 *hehe*[/quote] You havent ever directly gone for Bob that's why you arn't on THIS list. It doesnt mean you arnt on any other lists I may or may not have.... Z

Im' not telling Zleiphneir about that post Ledah...he will get very angry...he scares me when he's angry....he once told me if I didnt let him online to look after Bob he'd break my legs...and he likes me.... Z

"Quiet Ledah, or you will end up looking like that. Puppet" ~:Zleiphneir:~

[quote name='Deatznce0' post='32999' date='Jun 8 2009, 09:48 AM']How do you edit your own personal page? I've been to [spoiler]MDA[/spoiler] but I had no luck finding it, or perhaps I missed it?[/quote] You access it via the links on the left hand side of the page. So where you see the links for RPC list, Adventure log, Most popular, Webcam etc etc, you will find a link that says Personal Page. Fill that in and bada bing bada boom, you have yourself a cover up. Hope that helps. Z

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.
