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 -.-

Well, apparently Mur forgot to make the announcement i was waiting for. The show must go on. After much consideration, i've decided to take Eon to the semifinals despite losing the battles against dst an lone, because eon showed the most dedication to the competition of all the players with 1 win. The rest was quite clear anyway. Please get the semifinals through as soon as possible, we all know that halloween and all hallows approaches, there might be people who are not around during those days. Once the Semis are finished, finals will start [quote name='Burns' timestamp='1319181353' post='94390'] [b]Semifinals:[/b] MP4 Passant - Sunfire: Sunfire WINS! Passant - Tipu: Tipu WINS!

I may be outnumbered, but never outgunned. [attachment=3273:moodshocker.png]

Very well, it's your petition, so closed on request. If somebody wishes for some of the post to be split out to start an anti-eon methods discussion, just ask. Or use the multi-quote function

No, those will hopefully find a nice date in the party. Somehow. <.< If any MP5 manage to not have 0 fights by then. >.>

-pokepoke- People, no fights at all? That really can't be it... Maybe the post was just too long. Do the group fights BEFORE 28th if possible, just the final rounds are scheduled AFTER 28th!

Newbies... Click the Live Help button and pick your question, people spent countless hours on that, including your all time favorite 'How do i play'-question.

http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/7621-newbies-what-upsetscare-you-all That one? Or are you thinking of another?

A spell learned with a stone is your own, and counts as that. Somebody else's spell is a spell that is used by a different person, like your protector, or whoever else you could possibly find to help you.

Very well, signing time is over, so let's disclose the rules I've already told you that winning isn't the most important thing. But i think none of you figured that you're heading for a party so far There are several ways to earn some points, and also a bunch of ways to lose some. [b]Diversity:[/b] We don't want to end up on a Halloween party with 4 flashes and 3 leagues of justice, so there is a bunch of points for unique costumes. - [color=#00ff00]+5 per colored unique[/color]: If you have a creature on the field that only appears once at the party, you score 5 points. (different CID=different creature) - [color=#00ff00]+2 per colored not unique[/color]: If your costume appears twice or more, you still get 2 points. - [color=#ff0000]-10 per not colored[/color]: If there's a creature in your rit that forgot to dress up, that's -10 for your scoreboard. [i]Sum of the diversity ranking over this line can't be lower than 0.[/i] - [color=#ff0000]-30 double drach[/color]: As special rating for diversity, you additionally lose 30 points if you have more than one drach or morph or one of each in your own rit. A morph or drach on the other side doesn't trigger this effect. [b]Strength:[/b] We all know how such parties turn out, people drink, people talk trash about each others costume, sooner or later we have a fight at the party. At that time it'd be helpful to be on the winning side of the party, so there's a strength score. - [color=#00ff00]+20 winning the combat[/color] - [color=#ff0000]-30 using influence, tokens, or combo[/color] [i]Sum of the strength ranking over this line can't be lower than -10.[/i] [b]Magic:[/b] Everybody loves party magic. So, obviously, there's a ranking for magic, too. - [color=#00ff00]+50 fighting with altered ritual[/color]: If you dare to go to the party with a ritual you couldn't pick on your own, you get just as much score as if you had the best diversity score possible, plus 20 daring points. - [color=#00ff00]+3 per spell cast (max 9 points)[/color]: The daring magicians can get a little score boost for fiddling with the party population. Only spells that directly influence combat grant this score, spells that alter the skills don't. (example: no multi, freeze, guardianarmy, mirrorritual would count, weaken, silvertongue, curse would not.) - [color=#ff0000]-20 for outside help[/color]: A true trickster works with his own magic. If you get somebody else to cast a spell for you, you don't get spell points, but instead a hefty negative rating for hiding behind somebody else's ability. Every party takes 2 rounds, one attacking and one defending. The winner of the round is the person with the higher score, and each round starts at 0. The party isn't over until one group wins 2 consecutive rounds, one attacking and one defending. Very well, now that the rules are edged out, here's the tournament plan. As usual, the first round should be finished within the week, the semi-finals and finals will take place during the official halloween party-time. MP4 don't have enough people for a first round, so they only fight in the semi-finals. MP5 has 10 fighters, so there'll be 2 groups of 5, the first two of each group go to the semi-finals. Please finish the group fights before the halloween party starts on 28th. [b]Group A:[/b] Clockmaster - dst: Clockmaster - Eon: Clockmaster WINS! Clockmaster - Ivorak: Clockmaster WINS! Clockmaster - Lone wolf: Clockmaster WINS! dst - Eon: dst WINS! dst - Ivorak: dst - Lone wolf: Eon - Ivorak: Eon WINS! Eon - Lone wolf: Lone wolf WINS! Ivorak - Lone wolf: [b]Group B:[/b] MRAlyon - Nimrodel: MRAlyon - Shadowseeker: Shadowseeker WINS! MRAlyon - Soothing Sands: MRAlyon WINS! MRAlyon - Von Ungern: MRAlyon WINS! Nimrodel - Shadowseeker: Nimrodel - Soothing Sands: Nimrodel - Von Ungern: Shadowseeker - Soothing Sands: Shadowseeker WINS! Shadowseeker - Von Ungern: Shadowseeker WINS! Soothing Sands - Von Ungern: Von Ungern WINS! [b]Semifinals:[/b] MP4 Passant - Sunfire: Sunfire WINS! Passant - Tipu: Tipu WINS! Sunfire - Tipu: Tipu WINS! MP5 Clockmaster - MRAlyon: Clockmaster WINS! Shadowseeker - Eon: Shadowseeker WINS! [b]Finals:[/b] MP4 Tipu - Sunfire: Sunfire wins a bunch of enchanted stones! MP5 Clockmaster - Shadowseeker: Clockmaster wins a WP! And as always, your top concern are the rewards. The MP4 winner will most likely get a heated creature and an enchanted stone, MP5 participation will likely be high enough for a WP. In case i can't reward the winner with a WP anymore, we'll find a different solution. PS: as usual, post your results here. I'll update the list as often as possible, seeing the big groups we have this time.

The power to decide for music lies with Mur, the game-creator. Some of the music was chosen based on player proposals, other was picked by himself. It's reserved for the most important scenes, though, not all places (should) have music. Other than that, here is a spell that allows temporary background music on a scene, and people with script access can put music into items. Those pieces are chosen by the spellcaster and the scripter of that item.

Could we possibly have that with a little more quality? It's not like i'd understand the riddle, but i guess it's even harder when you can't see things on it exactly I mean, might be my eyes...but... I hope they are good enough for that <.<

Obviously, MD keeps track of how many different scenes we've seen already, as it's currently in use for the research depth (explorer) achievement. I'd like to have a small system-line on the profile, just like the active day counter, that tells you just how many scene you have seen already, and also what percentage of the whole game that is. I know we're not much into ladder quests etc., but i think that little thing would be sufficient to hook a few more people onto MD, just for the sake of seeing more scenes, and would give the vets something nice to brag with.

EI influences the damage you get from walking enemy territory, that's all. The downside of applying it to spells would be that you would get practically impenetrable after a while, and the strong would get even stronger because you can't bewitch them anymore.

All spells, yeah. I haven't told you about the objective yet, have i? Just so much: Winning fights won't be the only thing.

In this event of the Sparring Ground Championships, only the scariest of all creatures are allowed: Colorful ones! Only colored creatures may be used, tokens, influence and combo are not allowed. Of course, in the spirit of halloween, tricks are allowed, so use all the magic you can get your hands on Due to the power certain colored creatures have, i've got to limit rituals a little. You may only use one drachorn or one snowman. The variety of rituals may be limited, but the magics make up for that. We'll have the finals during the party time, therefor the sign up ends on 20th. Since we had issues last time, MP6 aren't allowed to participate this time. As usual, sign up with your MP-level.

We'll try to give tools to different people every week, not always to the same. Sooner or later, each gets a turn. You just need to ask

Poll added. Otherwise, i'm against that idea. It summarizes to the same thing as AP bonus for active days, which we already have. It'd be very bad if you could move freely everywhere after a while, while newbies cannot. It'd also invite people to use more scripts and spend even less time with actual playing.

It probably was the music from Willow's Shop, Calabria. You can turn music you don't like off with the 'stop' button right under the chat, but that'll stop the music from all other scene's, too, so hit play again before leaving if you want the music from your new scene to load.
