It won't work out. Why? I have to cheat to keep MP6 even now, without 'sharing' adepts at all. Some change to somebody else, some don't log in every week, some leave. To have any chance to keep MP6, i have to poke people outside of MD means to log in just so they count for my adept count. Since adepts need 100 active days, competition got a lot rougher, by the time you can recruit an adept they don't need immidate help anymore.

Happy B-Day

Happy birthday!

Since the needle overwrites the old effect with a new one, i think we can assume that only the most recent use affects the stats at all. Using the needle 6 times with 3 causes will result in a lot less damage than once with 18 causes, as i see it. Otherwise you could just make a team of 3 people and re-use the needle every cooldown interval and get to way negative stats that way. Which would be too easy for my taste.

Happy Birthday! Soon you'll be too old for the pot, then you don't need to fear the evil soup queen anymore!

Several posts moved to the general Eon topic (http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10966-teamwork-controversy-with-a-little-eon-around-the-corners/), please try to keep the discussion on KINGS and THEIR tools/abilities/ideas here for easier reading and answering.

1: the artwork of grasan lvl 2 still looks as it always did, unlike announcement Ann. 2085 - [2011-11-15 07:02:18 - Stage 11] claimed. Tested with the Constipated, leaking and exfoliating version. 2: the text snippet under the upgrade button on grasan lvl 1 is halfway hidden, end in the middle of the word 'influenced'. 3: it would be great if the productive grasans had a different description to show that they are productive. 4: It would also be awesome if you integrated the variations on the upgrade screen of lvl 1, sure, we all know right now, but what about the new newbies in 6 months? They won't read 2100 announcements properly.

Split, further discussion about teamwork and Eon to be found here: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10966-teamwork-controversy-with-a-little-eon-around-the-corners Please try to stay on topic now.

[quote] Ann. 1687 - [2010-12-01 12:47:15 - Stage 10] Wish Point codes have been reset. Kings are asked to send an e-mail to [contact email] to receive new codes. [/quote] That'd be on the safe side, since it's the last announcement concerning WP-codes that was made. At least i wouldn't know a better definition for the last period.

If you could stop Eon in the blink of an eye, that'd be imbalanced, wouldn't it? Attacking people is a vital part of the game, should it be that simple to turn that ability off? Just because you wish to? Ask yourself, would you like it a lot if people could stop you from playing just like that? 2 people don't like you, and suddenly you're in solitary confinement jail for the next 3 hours. Is that fair? And hooray for negative rep, i really want some: Shrinking population generally doesn't seem like a bad thing to me. In fact, I don't think that the people who quit because they don#t always get what they want were a big asset to MD in the first place. PS: If we get more into the Eon-corner again, as it seems right now, i'll split again. That's not an invitation to go wild, but i don't see the need to stop a discussion just because it doesn't fit with the topic title

10 people are easily enough to do all the team things that can be done. If there are, say, 30 real players in game, you can easily get 10 together with a little coordination. The newbies don't need any of the teaming things in the first few weeks, and the people who are unable to do teamwork either have to invest a lot of time or money, or they are lost. I can assure you that the time i spend in MD is a lot more enjoyable with less people, because less uncooperative people means more things that go to good players. Maybe there'll soon come the time when we can undo restrictions again because the people they were made for left.

[quote]Ann. 1997 - [2011-08-23 04:43:50 - Stage 11] Shared items will regroup at their original location on every Tuesday, 04:15 on odd dates and 16:15 on even dates of the month (servertime). Try to avoid loading cauldron type items or jars close before that time as they will be taken away automatically even if they are loaded or in use. [b]Do not hoard shared tool[/b] and do not use alts to store multiple tools of dame type. [b]These items are meant to be used by as many people as possible so if you don't plan on using them let them there for others to try.[/b] You shouldn't sell the items but you can sell services related to them such as heat jar loading or whatever else. UPDATE: now runs on odd and even dates so it covers more timezones.[/quote] Quite obviously you did miss it. People weren't jailed for alt abuse, but for shared tool abuses. You can hold tools away from public without going through alts, but as you see, it gets you punished just as well.

Happy Birthday Ren!

Uh... Pip was just bashing on Pirate for a few days, the shared item abuses go back some months now. Eon was most likely doing actual work to track things and sent it to the proper people for weeks. Public attention is not what it takes to find abusers.

If you come across a page that doesn't contain all the information it could, like the creature pages, please sit down for 3 minutes and consider if they were written that way because of spoiler issues. The wiki is supposed to give an overview and some basics, not replace the game experience of finding something.

Eros is the greek god of love, not sure if that goes under playername used in scene-subtitle. I'd rather worry about quoting alice, copyright etc.

Kings get penalty points for abusing king tools, which Yrth didn't.

Why so complicated? Give every account a permanent teleport_papercabin at 2 casts and set the heat cost to 0. You can't do any freaky stuff with 2 casts each 2 weeks, and it works well enough to get people out of a tight place every once in a while. Additionally, write a short tutorial page on how to cast a spell and include a charge booster that sets the temporary count to 4 in the tutorial, i'd suggest at the point where you get stuck at the road of battles and have to activate the map for the first time. This would be sufficient to let everybody get out of the occasional trouble, and it'd be a fine intro into magic.

I like how you quote me as if my word was the law Just don't forget that i could be wrong as well. Maybe Mur wants it to be that way, who knows

Hooray, with that, the Halloween Competition is finished. Sunfire, come and meet me in the park some time to discuss your reward, i don't know which stones you'd prefer. Thanks for your participation, people, see you next time

When an LHO-profile is used in chat, it doesn't work because it links to the profile 'font color...' a href="http://magicduel.com/players/ <font color=" #305681'="" If you ever happen to have a few minutes sparetime, that'd be a great fix to do

[quote name='nadrolski' timestamp='1320286594' post='95178'] and i find one of the item shop very helpful and [i]worth it to spend[/i] on my journey, as it saves my time here in MD, and gives me more time in doing my other obligations in real life. or wasting MD credits is part of the risk? [/quote] That's the same as saying i've spent credits to get the message labels and people don't use them correctly, therefor each of them steals that credit from me. You didn't pay credits to be on Golemus, but to have a faster regeneration, and that you got. If somebody else doesn't want you to go where you want to go or not makes no difference to the fact that you got what you bought.

Very well, then the final for MP4 is Tipu Vs. Sunfire again. Maybe Sun learned a trick or two? Good luck

If we consider Mur as our ingame god/hero/overlord, which is not all that far fetched considering his powers, i simply can't resist to reverse your argument: Why would god do what you don't want to? God told Noah to build an arch, and gave him instructions, tools, skills and resources needed, but he didn't build it. He had Noah build it. Why did he do that? He could have snipped his fingers and the arch would've been there, right? God helps them who help themselves, Aesop knew that 500 BC and wrote it in 'Hercules and the Wagoneer'. The more problems Mur takes care of for us, the less we will handle ourselves. Undoubtedly you remember all the events around Bob and Awii. When people make changes, not just write about them or consider them, but do everything they can with all the options they have, Mur steps down and helps them. There are so many little things that just happen because people did their very best to help themselves. There was a pub before the beercask, for example. If you consider Mur as just another player who felt bothered by Eon, your point is valid, but if you don't... praying doesn't help that often. I can't comment about the things you wrote about Mur's style in personal relations, as i just don't have that much contact with him. As mod i have to add that Mur said that none of his posts were to be altered, i'm not content with his language myself -.-
