And it's not just every now and then, either, it fails always.

The land holds the power, not Yrthilian as person. Yrth just does the stuff. Just wanted to make that clear, Yrth didn't decide how to deal with that on his own, and never wanted to because he [b]doesn't take the decisions alone anymore[/b]. As long as the items stay in our possession, they need to be held by somebody, if that's Yrth or somebody else we trust doesn't matter the slightest bit at this point. If the land items get confiscated for some reason or other, we'll have to deal with things in different ways, obviously. Until then, we can use them just fine.

bumpitybump, the flasks are all broken, still.

There are a lot of rules that never apply to anybody, yet exist. What's the point of cluttering the rules page with even more special rules, like MP2 rules, when it's impossible to become an MP2? For the few cases of MP2 appearing again, people do what they were told, and sometimes talk about different approaches and see if something should be done in a different way in the future.

If Mur rules apply to this auction, i suggest that you go with the Mur rule: [quote]because you can bid without having the coins first, thinking that you might have ways to get them in the 3days after the auction, i must add the following clause. If winner is unable to pay, a tax of 20% of his bid will be charged forcefully on him and the next winning bid will be selected.[/quote] http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/7650-1st-auction-resumed/

The internet is never anonymous, if things look fishy admins can check who did what when from which ip.

MP2 rules are a mess. They weren't allowed out of GG for a long while, then they were, then they weren't again. Some unforeseen issues arose with those accounts here and there. For the moment, nobody wants them, at all. They shouldn't turn up outside of Golemus, but we don't want them inside, either My last information was that Yrth, back then in his role as king, was granted a key to mp3-spell again to turn every mp2 into 3 on sight, then treat them like any other player. MP2 aren't supposed to exist.

And as last option, you can also log in with your ID, which is my preferred option because it's the shortest of them all. Solved, closed, moved.

[quote name='Soothing Sands' timestamp='1324568208' post='98339'] Hmmm well i'll look for one that doesn't have ads, if that even exists. I didn't know it would do that... And to Burns, the music player (start/stop button) is still there, so i guess the target video just needs to be changed. [/quote] That's exactly what i was saying, Mur didn't take the video out, youtube did. I'm curious if you'll find one that's not an infringement, though.

Technical detail, it wasn't taken out by Mur, but reported and shut down on youtube. Strangely enough, Mur is not all that strict with copyright issues when it's not hosted on his server

Taking an alliance includes taking the archives of that alliance, regardless if it's peaceful heritage or hostile takeover. If the old guys don't manage to burn their books in time, they go to the new guys, that's the risk you run when you write stuff down and don't protect it properly.

When the first thing you do with your new modem is surfing MD on good speed

http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8745-md-anual-awards-feedback/ I wonder why nobody thought it was stupid all year long... In fact, it seemed that nobody had any point FOR in-group nominations, but Chewie and Bun Bun got a nice load of rep for talking AGAINST it.

It's not limited to greek, and not limited to Head Contest time. Apparently the flasks are completely broken now

are you sure you only sent 10 today? I'm certain that 10 wouldn't be enough to reach the limit... Maybe there's a spam limit nowadays, try sending a message in 10 minutes?

Sand is a byproduct from stone detecting. Water is available at a lot of places across the realm, just take a look under the chat, there's a box that tells you what resources are in which scene (if any).

Since there are so many people who wish to set quests, at least according to Seig's information, but have certain problems to work their ideas out, i think there's a need to help those people to make sure MD doesn't miss out on the interesting ideas newbie bring forth. For this purpose, we've created a group dedicated to help people with their quests. If you have an idea for a quest, but don't know how to run it, please contact us to profit of our knowledge and networks. If you are uncertain where your idea might lead to, send me a note and we'll see what we can make of it. Otherwise, feel free to contact one of our specialists directly, in most cases they'll be able to help you, and otherwise they'll know whom to ask Tarquinus will be able to help you with quests and contests revolving around poems and other lyrical works and lore of the realm. Phantom Orchid can handle all your issues with quests that lead to the depths of esoterics, dreams and psychology. Shadowseeker might help with the creation of quests that requires tracking people and their progress through your story. Chewett, the local coding expert, will almost always be able to make things we all consider impossible possible. Fyrd Argentus is the specialist for all quests that pertain the history of the realm and our legends. Kyphis will help with quests and contests that require the coordination of gatherings. Yrthilian is known to lose his interest in things once they work, but if you have a very innovative idea, he will know how to make it work. Marvolo will work with you when you want to set a quest or contest that works with arts and musics. Amoran K Kol can help you when your quests require direct contact between different players. Metal Bunny will take care of the most extreme quests in game, at least on weekends. At last, contact me when you wish to host a battle contest, when you are uncertain who of us might be suited best for your ideas, or when you have problems to contact the helper of your choice. [size=2]The more the merrier, of course, if you want to help newbie questmakers, contact me to be added to my list[/size][size=2] [/size]

Brulant and me drank of a flask of liquid greek, and now chat locks in 'translating, click compass if it locks', which obviously doesn't help us anymore. Regular chache and cookie things didn't help. I think it might be Head Contest related, maybe the effects of those flasks are under the restricted spells. If this is the case, please clear us up on it

Seriously Mur, you should reconsider that approach of the grumpy treasure guarding dragon. You only have so many oldies who have stuff to pay a big quest, we need new questmakers with new ideas and things to give as reward. I can only speak for my own halloween competition ([url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10769-halloween-competition/"]http://magicduel.inv...en-competition/[/url]), which was announced in the time when halloween quest extra sponsoring was announced in game, for which i received sponsorship 4 weeks after announcing, 1 week after finishing the quest. To me, that's no biggie, because i have my own stock to draw rewards from, if that was a quest made from a newbie, the quest would've been aborted because of lacking rewards. Specially new quest creators don't have the strength to kick a grumpy dragons rear (edit: Meaning to say, convince Seig to sponsor before announcing), or wait until the dragon is bored enough to move away (edit: Meaning to say, wait two-three weeks after announcing) and let them get some treasures. They also can't just take a nice reward from their own stuff, as they have nothing. How would that look if they announce a big quest, and then there's no reward? Does that get you a reputation as good quest creator, as you implied [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/11111-what-is-going-on/page__view__findpost__p__97422"]here[/url]? A quest is only as good as the players, and few players do their best if they get lousy rewards out of it, we all know that by now. If nobody plays a quest, it's easy to say that it was a lousy quest, no matter how amazing the quest could've been with the right competition. People need to have certainty about their quests BEFORE announcing them, otherwise they never get played. A grumpy dragon who guards the treasure might not be the best way to make a newbie try a second time. I've never been a friend of your RPC concept, either, but you can't deny that a whole lot of people made a whole lot of quests during that time, everything in the long range from lousy to brilliant, guided and sponsored by the RPCs. TKs don't grant guidance, and only grant sponsoring to brilliant quests. This definitely increases the quality of quests, but the finest quests are also reserved to be solved by the finest people, which will hardly ever be a newbie. Dare i say it? MD without low quality quests is less fun for newcomers, and a major turndown for the new quest makers, as i don't think that any of us can say that our first attempt was so good that Seig would've sponsored it. Back then, when we were nobodys and had nothing, not even experience.

Adventuring Award For the person most dedicated, or who perseveres most at quests. Not necessarily for completing, or winning the most. Maebius Best Beautification For the person thought to be the most contributing to the appearance of the realm. Be it papers, artworks, or anything else- whatever is pleasant to the senses. [someone please "tidy" this description] Shape Shifter Best Spell Caster For the person most enthusiastic or creative with casting spells - by which it is meant the use itself of them, the words used or another method by which the voter deems appropriate. Eon Fossil of the year For the player who has been around so long they have turned into a fossil. The player must be visibly active over the past year, and on the veterans list in game. Awiiya The Golden Protector For the player who is viewed as performing the best in the role of protector(MP6) during the past year. The player does not have to currently be a protector. The voter should take into account the actions of the other protectors in the realm, rather than automatically voting for their own. Best can mean how helpful the protector has been, to how effective they have been in recruiting worshippers, this is at the voters discretion. Amoran Most Addicted For the player who just can't leave MD for more than a minute without needing a fix. Chewett Outstanding Service to MD For the player thought to have done the most to contribute to MD over the year. This can be in any field. Rendril Pre-eminent Role Player For the player deemed to Role Play the best. The player does not have to stay in character all the time to win this award (though it may help), rather when they do role play it is to the highest standard - this does usually go in hand with remaining in character. Zleiphneir Prime Quest For the player seen as creating the best quest over the past year. Just because a voter did not manage to complete the quest, does not mean it was a bad quest necessarily, the voter is asked to take this into account when voting. Fyrd Argentus Top Techie For the person credited as creating the best MD-scripted event or script. Chewett

That is entirely incorrect, unfortunately. Democracy, Autocracy (and Plutocracy) are definitions about where the power comes from, Republic and Monarchy are state forms. The first 3 are almost entirely compatible with the latter 2, for example there are many democratic monarchies in Europe. Republics don't have to have several leaders, there can also be one, not all monarchs base their power on higher powers, and few democracies have just one leading figure.

Followup bug: You successfully made them mix into Grasan Ferment (2), but when i give away my single ferment i still appear to have 2 Grasan Ferment. They also still show as different items in my detailed inventory, i can pick if i want to give away the single or the double flask. Also, 1+2 should be 3, not two, the Grasan consumed wiiya to make another flask after all

Grasan Ferments have a little mixing problem. When you leave the constipated grasan with one completed fermentation, it'll consume another wiiya and produce another ferment. When you take the ferment, it'll make '2 Grasan Ferment' appear in your inventory, which are different from 'Grasan Ferment (2)'. Then the solitary ferments you have disappear from your inventory and only the 2 Grasan Ferments stay visible. I was able to pass the single ferment to Chewett and get it passed back without it mixing with the 2 ferments, when i gave the solitary ferment to Shem, it mixed properly with his solitary ferment, but when he returned it, it still didn't mix with mine. I assume that the '2 Grasan ferment' is one useable item, in difference to the 'Grasan ferment (2)', which are in fact two useable items. I'm uncertain if this could cause other issues with trading, resources seem to stack up properly, but the object grasan ferment behaving that way might cause troubles in the long run. For example, 10 grasan ferments which are actually only one. The difference between ' 10 Grasan ferment' and 'Grasan ferment (10)' is not that obvious to everybody.
