Token boost is 80% still, i assume. So, for example, 1*1,8 is 1,8, assuming that the possible resource fractions are only .25, .5 and .75, that'd round down to 1,75. Feel free to do the maths to find out how many ways exist to get to 10,25. That you can't explain how to get somewhere usually doesn't mean that there's no way to get there, even more so when it IS there already.

All accounts are history in MD, deleting one of them is like deleting a bit of history. That's why you can't swipe them away just like that.

[quote]Ann. 1977 - [2011-08-15 18:01:49 - Stage 10] In relation to this trial of Princ Rhaegar against Junior, it has been decided by the council that Junior suffer a 1 month trading ban. This ban will affect both directions of trade with creatures - he will neither be able to get additional creatures from trade, nor trade his own away. This action is effective from the time of this announcement.[/quote] I'd even say it only affects creatures. And Lib, you could find all that by searching the announcements yourself

Quite obviously such developments are necessary, because people get rich and strong very fast and forget to do anything for the community on the way. Undoubtedly you consider yourself very active, with all that being online and grinding away the day. But how many quests have you created? How many events managed? How often did you do something to move the realm? Some people spend a lot of time with MD and create something interesting and worthwhile, not just their own stats. These should get rewarded for their continued effort, and not just the people who spend a whole lot of time with their stats and alts. And beyond doubt, rewarding age promotes this cause very well. For example, Metal Bunny has done the most exquisite quests you could find, Awii writes brilliant stories, Tarquinus does poems and event management. A whole lot of time the server can't track because they are not even online when working for MD. People spend weeks with hardly any online time, and still do a lot more than all the grinders together. These get their share of the pie with age rewards.

Only snowballs are tradeable, the fullgrown snowboys and -girls are not.

This tournament will be a little more difficult than the former competitions. Generally, everything except for spells is allowed this time. Any shop creatures and tokens are allowed, as are tokens, combo and all that. However, and here's the fun bit, tokens that are used can change the behavior of your opponent greatly. As usual, it'll be a 1 on 1 tournament, and you win against an opponent by winning the outgoing as well as the incoming fight against them. The defender uses a ritual with 0% influence and announces a token count to the attacker. The defender obviously mustn't use more than the announced count, but he has the strategic freedom to announce a higher count than what he actually uses (aka, put the attacker on a wrong trace). For every token in this announced count, the attacker can use either 5k combo OR 1 token OR 5% pray power, mixtures possible, in the attacking ritual. As examples: The defender announces 0 tokens. In this case, the attacker has to fight with 0%, 0 combo and 0 tokens as well. The defender announces 20 tokens. In this case, the attacker could use 20 tokens, or 100% influence, or 100k combo, or a mixed strategy of, for example, 6 tokens, 50k combo, and 20% influence. Just like the defender can play with announcing a higher count, the attacker doesn't have to use up all the points they could. If there were 5 tokens announced, the attacker could as well play with 4 tokens, no combo and no influence and let the last available point open. If one of the two fighters goes over the announced count, the fight counts as won by the other party. In this game, such a failure doesn't lead to disqualification because it really could happen easily. Don't sign up if you have problems with maths <.< 'Useless' tokens count for the token count, of course! Rewards depend on the level of participation, as usual. Sign up for the event until Friday, 9th of September, please include the MP level you will play in, as usual.

Indeed, Restrictions are outdated in many places by now. As are quite a few other pages you'll stumble over. But, why did i actually post: [quote]This does not mean that everyone else does though, and no, this does not make it right, but would you send every criminal to jail for a crime as minor as this one?[/quote] I was personally involved in an incident when Mur found a couple making out in the Archives east wing and sent one of them to jail without further comment, took me 2 hours of sleep together with Grido to figure the whole situation and tell them why, how, and when they'll be 'united' again. So, i guess we DO take people to prison for that. Btw, sentence was 1 week minimum, he got back out after 10 days.

That archive article is indeed exactly the same as the forum post from 2007 in MDA historic docs which i requested hidden content wise. I've asked Mur if he'd allow the addition of a similar warning as the archives have, but he told me that he doesn't want then edited, but rather hidden until their fate is decided.

xrieg's team wins 14:12. That's so close that i decide to be generous and give both teams a share of reward, but xrieg gets the better ones, obviously Find your captains to claim rewards, what you get from the pot is up to their discretion.

The whole article is pulled from the forums. Just the warning is added

You can't find them due to me. Mur agreed that they could be hidden until he had found a solution for them, i've requested them to be hidden after a newbie came to me and told me my quest was wrong because Gabe Wind was the first king of MB, not Life.

Heavens, i've never been on a forum where mod tools were so easy before... Merged they are

Are you sure that just so happens, or did you log out and play another char in between? If you do that, you always get this ban-warning instead of the normal cooldown message.

My condolences, and my best wishes.

I've just been told that i'll probably have to work tomorrow, there might be up to an hour delay to my competition. I'll try to make it on time, but i can't promise that i will.

This would only serve to make grinders invincible in Heads. As it is, you can play heads without being strong, if you have smarts, connections and activity. If the only thing counting was mere strength, we might as well compare our stats and creatures and decide for a winner on that, no contest needed. If you have a problem with sleep and work, i've taken 4 days off to play the only HC i was in and bought 3 packs of coffee to make sure i don't run out. For the few days that count, it works fairly well. You should have 1 day spare to sleep before going back to work, though, specially if you are to handle heavy machines...

You can't enchant a stone if you have less than 5 casts of the spell yourself. And the stone gets 3 casts when you have all casts left, not 4.

Maybe a sun in eclipse (a bright ring around a dark orb) with drops of dust dripping from the orb. These could loosely from the edges of a symbol, obviously, maybe paired with little shiny stars over the eclipse. Combination of light and dark edges to veil the matrix even more, if you like.

The air was hot with spells, and the bloodshed great as Amoran managed to win two times accidentally. xrieg won round 2 with an overwhelming 7:1, which brings him into lead with 10:8 points. Captains, please arrange a time for round 3. If you don't manage, i'll be doing it again <.< Preferably NOT saturday evening, i'd like for people who don't have saturday evening to have a chance, too.

Fine, i'll go for halfway between saturday and sunday then. Tonight at 22:00 server it shall be, little different time than the first to give other people opportunity to join. If neither you nor your lieutenants can attend, please let me know of the replacement on time, i don't want complaints about how somebody else ruined your chances without your consent.

You shouldn't tell people that bothering you repeatedly might actually move something, they could take it literally Thanks a lot, i'll be doing my best as usual.

Guys, you annoy me. -.- If you two don't manage to arrange a time until tomorrow morning (MY morning, that's 9 hours from now) I'll pick the time that suits me best instead.

Sunday would be okay, but then it'd have to be later. Maybe around 21:00. I'm not having any problems with doing it on short notice during the evening hours usually, but i might also be forced to leave on short notice (meaning cancel event).

On the persona page, you'll find a link to the avatar uploader. To use it, you also need to have the avatar feature unlocked (MDShop, Extra features). For technical matters, you might find [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/9102-avatar-tutorial-for-windows/page__hl__avatar__fromsearch__1"]this[/url], [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/6979-avatar-editing-tutorial-for-photoshop/page__hl__avatar__fromsearch__1"]this[/url] or [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/7521-avatar-tutorial-adobe-fireworks-cs4/page__hl__avatar__fromsearch__1"]this[/url] topic helpful, there are quite a few things you need to look out for from a technical perspective (size, alpha, shading, etc.) As advice for your artist friend, he shouldn't use colors at all, and you should keep the picture after scanning it, you might be asked to send a high-res scan. If you friend plays MD himself, it'd be better if he uploaded it with his own account and then sent it to you, to keep track of the actual creator in case there are problems.

Advice: It's your event. Don't go and ask for a time and date. Announce them, some will come, some won't. There's way less trouble when you just make a schedule, i've had experience with that.
