Burns

Lies! Burns isn't talkative! Thanks for considering me interesting, though.

Cheerleader teams would be awesome, of course that's allowed!

Whilst i personally think that the ICC must send him to prison for ever and then a bit longer, it's also fact that he managed to keep the rivaling tribes in Lybia in a more or less peaceful balance, even when it happened by means of corruption and autocracy. Democracy is probably not the best idea for all nations of the world. Free elections and politics approved of by the majority lead to Cosa Nostra take over in Sicily and Italy in the late 19th and early 20th century, in a very similar setting of forces. I doubt not that the fall of Muammar al-Gadaffi will lead to either a massive civil war, or a de facto aristocracy of the leader of the richer tribes. Including oppression of the less fortunate, and probably a lot more violent than what was needed up to now.

Actually, that's wrong, Kyphis. You can get roughly infinite VP by fighting, easiest by a burst, but other means would do, too. Name any number under 5.000.000, I'll get you a screenie of me having it (+/- 50k) as VP

I actually have played CS 1.6 online for a while, been ages since i last dropped in there, though.

I am deeply convinced that, if Mur sets the shop to only have one creature of that kind, you shouldn't be able to buy another one with money at all. And things that are not in the shop even less. To me, there is a point to them being where they are and in what quantity they are there. And when they are NOT in the shop, they aren't supposed to be for sale. At all.

[quote name='Esmerelda' timestamp='1300731925' post='81009'] 3. Also, if i buy a reindrach from xyz For 30 creds, the game's getting 50 + 30 creds or more not just 30 creds becoz someone must already have spent 50creds to get it from the shop. [/quote] But if you bought the drach for the usual 50 creds, that'd be 20 more for the game. The one bought by the potential seller already exists anyway, those 50 are spent and gone. If the new owner gets the old one for 30, that's 20 less than if he got a new one himself.

A basic question for almost all online games: To what extent can you replace time and effort with money? Most games don't allow trading their goods at all, those that do don't allow trades for money. Why is that? Requirements, such as levels and experience, usually have a point to them, to make them unavailable to players that are still within regions newcomers play in, but also to make sure people have to invest either time or money to get to the place where they can get them. In my opinion, trading stuff for credits is a way to get around those requirements, and picking up on Kyphis' arguments, if you can buy a reindrach either from Mur for 55 or from THO for 30, it's only sensible from a hosts point of view to not allow such, because he doesn't really win the 30 that were paid, but rather loses the 25 that weren't. On the other hand, there's hardly anything that stops it from happening. I don't approve of such, but there's no end to it unless there are severe changes to trading in general.

Udgard, I seriously wonder how a burst would help you when influence is not allowed. Please enlighten me xD

Indeed, magic might have been misleading there. Replaced it with spells. Also, about rewards... As edited, depends on the number of participants. MP5 already has a good bunch, and i'll probably see if i can get a WP for it, whereas MP3 has just one so far, which might at best end in a silver coin for the effort of signing up, and 4 two, maybe enough for a lame shop creature, or one with some xp on it. We'll see how things turn out.

1. 1 silver 2. 2x unaged pimps 3. 2x unaged pimps 4. 1x unaged pimp 5. 1 aged imp infused with enough exp to max 6. 1 aged pimp infused with enough exp to max 7. 1 water daimon with 4.2 million exp on it. 8. 1 aged joker with 1.2 million exp on it

Sparring Ground Championships (SGC) proudly presents the Black and White Competition! In this event, nothing of any color is allowed. This means: [color=#FF0000]No tokens, combat influence/pray power, spells, combo, shop creatures, and other shop features whatsoever[/color]. As added handicap, the defending player MUST tell the attacking player half of the creatures they use, in case of odd numbers rounded up. Which creatures they give away before combat is up to their own choice. Due to this obvious advantage of the attacker, each round of battle consists of 2 fights, one as attacker, one as defender. Should a round end as tie, another round needs to take place, until one person wins both the attacking and defending fight of a round. I'll decide for a tournament mode next Saturday, that's 26th, around midnight. You have until then to sign up if you wish to participate. Please include your MP-level, 6 will have to fight in the same class as 5. SGC wishes all participants good luck and clean fights.

If there's just 2 participants, there'll be no prizes. You can either play, or not. Should i happen to give out 20 wishpoints in the end, and you didn't sign up til saturday, you lost your chance.

It could also be a token issue. My osirisbelt archer sits in my inventory with 4420/3400 after fighting, too.

It's early, but still, read properly, it's a 2 day thingie Also, can we do ad-hoc teams, depending on who shows up?

Thanks for your attention, close, please.

Trade good: Imperial Aramor, ID 641830, Age 297, 2,5m xp, not transferred before. Want: Bloodpact Archer.

It's late and St. Patrick's, yeah, but don't dare to think my mind is jumpy like that already, no! The places where sentences don't seem to connect are more or less altered versions of the ones i wanted to use because somebody asked something in between... That's totally unrelated to the green beer... <.<

General issue that might get attention now: Freeze and Antifreeze was kind of broken all along. Now it occurs that a creature that is frozen due to mp-restriction can be unfrozen, and that way used in combat. E.g. rusties, antifreeze token, etc. Proposal as following: Instead of the current state of art, meaning a switch frozen-not frozen, creatures get a freeze counter on them, with each freeze adding a point, and each anti-freeze reducing a point. That way, anti-freeze auras that go off before freeze do something useful for a change, and creatures that get frozen 2-3 times don't get unfrozen by one anti-freeze hitting them. And creatures that are frozen due to MP-requirement get 20 points by default. Don't know about the coding effort, but definitely worth a shot imo.

It's also important to use the correct playername. A non-existant name triggers the spell (turns yellow), but doesn't get you any result. Plus, a bunch of people can't be made target of locate, though those would give you a result... even if it's a pointless one

Happy Birthday =D

Picking up on an old topic and changing it is hardly creative, is blasphemic. There are so many niches in MD you can base creative stories and quests on, and nobody will oppose them because nobody knows more about it than the one who just found it. But if you take a topic that has been there before, there already is a story about it, and simply disregarding that story and changing it as long as it fits you, is not creative, but stupid. The big researchers, who wrote a lot of stories about life, the universe and everything, didn't take up on something that has been done before. They did something that has NOT been done before, and did figured stuff about that specific issue out by searching for clues, making theories, testing their theories in discussion with other people... Taking their findings and bending them until they fit your purposes has nothing to do with story, quests, or research. It's just spitting on their graves.

Then again, all MP4 can attack each other, be it the one soon going to MP5 or the one just coming from MP3. If the fighting was the same from MP4 and MP5, we could as well undo MP4 completely and send people from MP3 to MP5, huh? I find it highly sensible to have a stage 'in between', to train a bunch of creatures to higher levels than available on newbie stage, and still be protected from the really big features like hit all and freeze. They can try and toy with different creatures and rituals, and sacrifice them if they think they don't do them any good to get full xp refund. And when they think they found a good set of creatures, they can move on to MP5, upgrade them some more, and experience a new level of fighting, instead of seeing the rituals that killed them on MP4 again, just with more stats.

Happy B-Day, favorite fairy of MD

Credit for this idea goes to my brother. It would be great if the free credits section featured a button to open all links at once instead of clicking through them one at a time. Sometimes it's helpful to have them one by one, at other times, I prefer to take all at once. Then it's really a lot of pointless waiting for reload. So, such a button would really be awesome. =)

Happy Birthday =)
