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.

[quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1313137551' post='90053'] I would say that many of the vets do give guidance about things being allowed, I have a group of people who will come if i think X or Y is alright, and i would guess that many others have friends that will come to them to ask questions regarding the laws. To me, you are trying to set something up, which in effect has already been set up because social norms already has it. You have groups of friends that you trust and ask if things are correct. [/quote] That's exactly what happened with Ailith, too. She already was doing the work she was tagged for before she was tagged for it (neutral mediator), yet her word counted more after she was officially recognized. If you ask people about loopholes these days, it's just an informal, personal opinion, and more often than not we just gamble around the edges of 'He hasn't done anything about it yet, it'll probably slip through unnoticed'. With people who are doing official statements on such matters, you have more... call it security. Mur mentioned that the advisor idea could evolve into a legal insurance, even, if the people at it are versed enough. It might be something we're doing already, but when people are doing it with Mur-ish backup, it gets a lot more weight. Just like the asterikses for LHOs, the content stays the same, but the authority behind it changes.

That's a great idea, i love it! Why would you need a guild with an odd number of members to do that? This is not intended as judging panel as i read it, but more as advocats, people that help clear something up for people preemptively, and not punish them after they have done wrong. If each single of the law advisors is to know about every rule etc., there is no reason why they would need to stick their heads together over everything before answering to some newbies. And it's designed as ingame feature, not a forum mods, so there's no need for a forum branch imo. The advisors are to be accessible for newbies, and at least read the forums to see when something comes up, but if at all, the best section for that stuff is Q&A. As i understand it, this feature can start right away, no further modifications needed, just Mur's word that he actually means it. And of course i'm in for it

I know you're fed up with reading my opinions by now (), but doing WP-inflation on the lower end and still keeping elite feature elite is exactly what's not happening now. The wishes are still at the same spent points requirements, which means that there's no actual inflation yet, but only more money printed which still buys things at the same price. For example, access to writing things on items, one of the most influential things you can get in that shop, is now very easily achievable. When you really give out 10 WPs in ways that are, call it easy instead of cheatable, but don't adjust the spent wishes requirement for big things, anybody will buy k-doc collection, anybody will edit items, and anybody can write scene subtitles. Inflation [u]yes[/u], printing more money without real inflation [u]no[/u].

[quote]Ann. 1324 - [2010-03-07 02:19:12 - Alpha 9] Not so long ago i issued a warning regarding alt abuse for taking advantage of the 5 credit promotion. Some of you ignored you. First to go is Ledah. 59 alts baned, main account imprisoned for undefined time. He can get out on special occasions or if someone with unban power decides so. Escaping the prison by other ways will increse punishment severely. For gathering silver from alts, all his items (2) and 98 silver got confiscated. For doing the crime so soon after a public warning (or during) not to do so he also receives a secondary punishment: attack reduced from 900+ to 1, defence reduced from 300+ to 1, power reduced from 200+ to 1. Kicked from alliance with 25% loyalty penalty.[/quote] [quote]Ann. 1605 - [2010-08-23 17:04:22 - Stage 10] Please take note that it is not permitted to use avatars as a way of transfering credits. Starting from tomorrow, transfer of avatars between alts will be restricted.[/quote] [quote]Ann. 1711 - [2010-12-24 23:25:09 - Stage 10] 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.[/quote] Beyond any doubt, the transfer of silver, avatars and other gifts between alts is not allowed. That some folks weren't punished yet doesn't mean that they have done right, as you see even silver is too much to shove around, therefore unique items are even more so. Including Enchanted Stones, yes, big brother IS watching. Mur never bothers for a few abusing something, but when it gets too far, there'll be severe punishments. [Edit: As Kafuuka linked while i was searching announcements]

Happy birthday, Darky! *smooch*

After round 1, Udgard's team is in the lead with 7-3 points. Looking forward to the second round

That happens to me at times because of connection issues. You log in, the request gets sent, and then you lose connection and return to the log in screen when you refresh. (Yeah, my internet is weird enough for that to actually happen to me regularly <.<) If that happens, you should be logged already, and can work around the log in procedure and the cooldown that comes with it by entering magicduel(dot)com/layout(dot)php as URL.

Happy birthday

Pardon me, but i fear you're the one not getting it. The gates used to be completely locked from both ends, it's a very recent development that you could walk out through them, and a relatively anti-intentional one, too. That bridge isn't just there to keep things out, but also to keep things in. Not so long ago, there was no way to leave Golemus at all, not even the maze. Take the backdoor if you don't like the front, you really have enough opportunities to get out these days...

Ann. 1446 - [2010-04-23 17:03:19 - Alpha 9] Low quality avatars will be from now on sent to personal vault when accepted, without a credit reward. You can discard them so they turn up in the shop in exchange for 1 credit. This is so because low quality avatars affect MD image but at the same time if you want to use your own art for an avy you should do so. Only good quality avatars will be accepted in exchange for the 3credits shop price.

The gates are forever open, but only for the chosen. If you're unhappy with the ap cost, you can always get out through the backdoor. If that wasn't there, i'd agree that it's too much, but since it is... nothing to worry about. I'm rather curious how Necro will be done, these gates could really turn into a trap.

Happy b-day

Captains, please name a second in command for your team, seems there's a need for that. I'd like the first round to take place soon after the heads contests are over, like friday or saturday next week, please arrange a time with your people.

Saturday is okay, no later than 4:30, though. 4 if you want a proper explanation round. You simply took too long, now my own schedule gets in the way, we have some festivities to prepare for August 15th

I think we're not quite there yet, to me the big bang to introduce 11 would be the new MP6.

Happy b-day
