Re-do the stats and tokens system from scratch and set tight limits on stats. Because i feel that we've gone too far from 'good strategy beats high stats', and i want that back.

I also say it's spam, but if you really feel the urge to do something like that, put them in the calendar as ranged events, not tons of single day events.

Not really a question. Moved to Local Legends in Archives in honor of Awii's status. Also, we can't uproot him, he's too big already

it's simple, roar at the machine, then you get a human. roar at the first two humans, too, then you get a capable human.

Noel is a girls name to you? Noelle, if at all, Noel is male

I think we have a different understanding of secret santa... We use to write our names on pieces of paper, throw them in a hat and pull one each. On the last day of work before christmas, everybody gets a little gift from their secret santa, and gives one to somebody else. I think you're thinking of something along the lines of gifts to the poor <.<

You cans end him a message through that system, so no need to stalk There are several scenes that have no name assigned to them, still. Not a bug, moved to Q&A.

It should be a combination of days and percentage, Mur didn't disclose the details to avoid abuses. So, everybody who could tell for certain won't, and we're just guessing around. And no, you get presents exactly once, you can just choose when you go to pick them up. You'll know how and where when you see it, don't want to spoil the surprise just yet

[quote] Ann. 1711 - [2010-12-24 23:25:09 - Stage 10] Chirstmas GIFTS...or not..or are they? hey who got the windy? Well, it seems this is already a well established Christmas Tradition in MD that for every single time with this occasion there was some sort of problem with the gifts, one way or the other. So don't get scared, its how things seem to work around here, regardless of me or others trying to make them right So, you should know that gifts were released a bit earlier, without the NEW restrictions. Today they were applied and you should know that now there is a activity requirement in order to get the gifts. IT IS NOT A BUG. Check you activity rating (total number of active days over max of your accoun, in profile page). This was done unannounced, in order to prevent alts from "harvesting" xmas gifts. You know i don't like such things. The only reason multiple accounts are allowed is to allow multiple characters that actually play different roles and personalities. Any alt abuse to gain advantages in such desperate and rude way will cause unpleasant actions towards your main.[/quote] I don't think either of you has enough activity days to get presents this year. Just try and see what happens, if the system says you're alts, at least one of you won't get anything.

Your wish is my command. Moved to TK section, too.

[color=#0000cd]I've split several posts to [/color][url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/13294-discuss-the-voting-arguments-here"][color=#0000cd]a new thread[/color][/url][color=#0000cd].[/color] [color=#0000cd]Each of you gets to vote once, so put your arguments into exactly one post. Use links, quotes, whatever you like, and edit as often as you need to, but any posts except the one you voted in will end up in that thread.[/color]

Lightsage. Because he is one of the better questers i've seen around here, and one with the most extensive knowledge of the technical stuff he needs to keep up with. He's organized and hates all of us enough to be unbiased. He's also amongst the few who i see fit to handle the treasury in a way so all quests get a fair reward, not only certain kinds and not only at certain times. He works quickly and tidy enough to ensure that nobody has to wait for things they earned, and i'm certain that he'll handle the things entrusted to him in an appropriate way. He can handle pressure much better than the others on this list, and i definitely want a new style in the TKs, which i think Lightsage can bring that more easily than the people picked by the old leaders.

It's be a bit weird to have a popularity contest about the person hated most, ain't it? That's a bit like 'Choose the best worst character' to me Alas, dst was quicker on this one. I'd say, instead of most hated or best villian, we could just call it worst player, like the golden raspberry. Nobody wants it, but somebody will get humiliated. Of course, the winner doesn't have to come and pick it up.

They don't count to landscore, apparently. So, we'll probably successfully remove the first of them in a few days, if you vote for it

You'll not be able to fight each other or trade with each other, if you're counted as alts.

Actually more of a bug, but matches here: [quote] Vote to remove | AgmaluchXII to your land. Ends day 329 [/quote] That one should read remove from, i think. Remove to seems wrong. Clarification: I'm talking about the town crier leaflet, the vote page itself is fine.

To me that's just the spirit of it, negative votes are supposed to play a massive role against the vote that's up. That is the point since Mur introduced the balloon votes, one vote against you mirrored in two lost points. If you have a reason to be in favor of something, you vote for it and create a point for the thing. If you have no reason to vote, that's actually a little point against the thing, and if you have a reason against it, it's a big point against the thing.

I assume that's happy birthday, but we're still going with english Happy birthday

[b]If i am part of a land and wish to make a poll in another one, for example to join a different land or have someone kicked from there, can i put such a vote up?[/b] Crash Test Dummy: indeed Crash Test Dummy: but Crash Test Dummy: only to ask to join the land Crash Test Dummy: the system doesnt prevent you attemping to join another, but you will lose your citizenship and alliance if you suceed in gaining access to the other land [b]But is it possible to see who started the vote for a kick from an alliance? (if so, I'd be interested to hear the reasoning why)[/b] Crash Test Dummy: not currently Crash Test Dummy: for now, it wont be shown Crash Test Dummy: but for a kick to work, they will surely have to get people to vote for the kick, since 60% is a high number [b]Is there a difference between actively clicking abstain and not voting at all?[/b] Crash Test Dummy: yes Crash Test Dummy: see the formulae Crash Test Dummy: but, for an example Crash Test Dummy: positve: 100, negative 20, total landscore 200 Crash Test Dummy: in total your score is 80 Orvid: I would suspect that is to prevent those who have left the realm from effecting the outcome? Crash Test Dummy: (100 - 20) = 80 Crash Test Dummy: here this would be 40% approval rate Crash Test Dummy: however if you were kicking someone, this would fail Crash Test Dummy: if someone abstained with 50 power Crash Test Dummy: your percentage is actually (80 / 150) Crash Test Dummy: which is 53% approval Crash Test Dummy: meaning that abstaining completely removes your influence Crash Test Dummy: wheras not voting is a "minor" negaative Crash Test Dummy: whereas voting against is a major negative Crash Test Dummy: the not voting being negative essentially translates to "you didnt bother to get this person involve to vote" Crash Test Dummy: post it please i'm still trying to grasp it, i must say. Crash Test Dummy: say you have 1000 total landscore *Burns*: In your example, with active score 200 and 80 not voting... Crash Test Dummy: you therefore need 400 for approval, yes? Crash Test Dummy: at a rate of 40% *Burns*: I'd effectively create a better outcome by abstaining than with not voting, right? Crash Test Dummy: indeed Orvid: That means that eventually people who have left MD will need to be removed from the lands, correct? *Burns*: active landscore, orvid, i take it people inactive for the whole week count not at all? Crash Test Dummy: indeed Crash Test Dummy: burns [b]Will people know if they've been put forward to be kicked o.o ?[/b] *Burns*: right, that's a good question. Crash Test Dummy: The town crier will state there is a vote going on in the land that will end on day X Crash Test Dummy: if you click the information you will be able to see who is being voted on Crash Test Dummy: the person will not be informed as they should care about what votes are going on in their land Crash Test Dummy: its a week, so its not a quick event Seeker white: o.o I see I see Crash Test Dummy: again, these are just how it currently works, feel free to suggest ways to improve it Crash Test Dummy: i would suggest you pay attention to votes going on in the land Crash Test Dummy: spoiler: it might be important for you to vote all the time Crash Test Dummy: or at least, vote in every one, rather than not bothering and ignoring it [b]Orvid: Would the thing that your alluding to there have any effect on those with no homeland, and thus, nothing to vote on? *Burns*: So, example, if laylah dislikes me and puts me up for a kick vote, i can see that i have been put up for a kick vote and actively gather people to not kick me, but obviously not vote in favor of mysel *Burns*: f?[/b] Crash Test Dummy: yes orvid Crash Test Dummy: you can get people to vote against the kick vote, and you can vote against it also Crash Test Dummy: i would expect you to work against someone trying to kick you Crash Test Dummy: @orvid: it would be souly affect land related things, no additional bonuses for non allied people Crash Test Dummy: not landed people [b]Does a kick vote lock you out from a land for a while?[/b] *Burns*: Example, if somebody kicks Grido, i invite him back into the ally, and don't care what the rest of the land thinks. *Burns*: Politically not smart, granted, but technically destroys the purpose Crash Test Dummy: Currently it blocks you from applying to the land, but doesnt stop you entering an alliance Crash Test Dummy: if there is a point where issues like that occur i might consider adding that in, but i want to see something like that occur first [b]is there a time limit to the block?[/b] Crash Test Dummy: I couldnt imagine a situtaion where 60+% of a land said kick Crash Test Dummy: 1 month i believe Crash Test Dummy: for all failed votes/kicked out votes [b]I'm rather suprised nobody asked if the player kicked still loses 50% of loyalty and such things[/b] Crash Test Dummy: not currently Crash Test Dummy: again, if a case arises where someone abuses the system to utilize this fact, i would change it Crash Test Dummy: the idea is not to lock everything down, and let people have some freedom

Happy birthday! I hope you have time for a few dancing parties, too

I can only speak for myself, but everytime you asked for it to be closed, i scrolled down and found another reply from you, indicating that you actually did want to keep talking about it But, because three is the magic number, i'll close it this time on creator's request, and if you indeed want further replies, you know where to find a mod. If somebody else feels like talking more, make a new thread, i'll make sure to place a link in this thread if that happens, or even merge them if they fit together. We're getting away from the original topic anyway. http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/13201-in-game-dreams

With those points you can learn about the history and background of certain things. You might have notice that there's a link that says 'Research and connections' under all the scene titles, if you click it, you can see the clues stored in this particular location (they are still mostly empty, you'll find some scene with clues around the aramory, for example). After you have activated your ability to read those clues, you can spend your points on them. To get that ability, you need to find and fulfill some achievements. [Shh, i hear there are some in the east lands, but that's a secret, okay? ;)]

Partially solved, according to announcements, but you still can't get full glow if you have any morphs, they are not counted as maxed, still.
