maybe climate change is finally upon us, just with slightly changed forecasts... instead of turning europe into a desert, it will turn UK into an even wetter place LOL

i guess you would, actually... nobody would know what to do against the snow LOL as i live in the middle of the alps, we are used to snow... but this week we had over 3 feet in the valleys, more than 8 feet in the mountains =) that almost beats the record of 1968, wehn my dad left his house not through the door, but through the window in first floor xD it's sorta strange to go out of your house to see a white wall where the road used to be yesterday O_o

ailith had 8000 something when the final stage was over... then there was light with 8000 and a bit, and the rest of the winners had a lot less points... i think logan made it with less than 1500 points to place 4 O_o

i share awii's point here, the quests should have something for the fighters as reward, as it's part of the game mechanics, really... i wouldn't be here if it was just combat, i can get that sensation anywhere, but this place offers some brain activity next to combat strategy, and i love that =) if the quests were just for the role players, like some/most of the new quests people make in order to get a PWR/RPC promotion in next festival, that would be a real loss for people like me =( and make no mistake, peepz, even though i can't solve your quests because i have no idea whom to talk to, i still like them, and actually think about learning something about the roleplayers here in order to solve your quests xD maybe there could be a difference between wishpoints and 'rolepoints'... you can get wishpoints for the 'fighters part' of the shop by solving quests that are about fighting, like smartalek's head hunt for the drachorn necklace back then (i'm sure some will remember), and rolepoints for the 'roleplayers part' of the shop, like 'get custom tag and description' from roleplayers quests, like 'talk to the vampire lady and bring her the werewolves head (whatever, i'm not that deep into the roles here =P)', and of course you could earn different points for those quests that need some common thinking or knowledge, like bootes actual quest or simply's last one, the RPC would just have to choose which point to give away (or even ask the player which point s/he'd like better, that's a matter between the RPC and the quest-solver then) that way it would be rather easy to make a difference between different styles of playing and the different items you can buy in the shop... and it wouldn't be that hard, becasue as far as i know, the WP is just a entry in the RPC log on each player, ain't it? so it would be no problem to write WP or RP in there^^

if your heads were away afterwards, you lost them, and that explains why you didn't get the score ;-) and you don't have to be online to get points, you also score when idle, all you have to do is be in a place where you can be attacked (meaning not in a sanc^^) obviously, you can't score when offline =) EDIT: damn, once more too slow...

Grido: started reaching toward a conviniently placed antidote... Garg: Which, unbeknown to Grido was in actuality full of... Burns: nothing but pure fountain water. Yet, he swallowed it all in one gulp and...

Metal Bunny: Grido woke up next to Hannah who... MRWander: Turns and says "Honey Jonn was looking for you... Cryxus: as she traces her finger across his chest... Metal Bunny: while whispering that Jonn and his gophers are here to.. Grido: say hi, and ask how you're doing, have a cookie then leave without anything odd happening." Cryxus: but Grido knew better... Metal Bunny: Grido knew that both he and Jonn desired to ... Grido: help the new players in Magic Duel, as best as they could Blaze: but instead, they were going to give into temptation and. MRWander: and eat the WHOLE bag of oreos without sharing them. Cryxus: "this is going to go straight to my thighs" they joked and laughed... Metal Bunny: ,but Jonn, you know your thighs always look fabulous, said Grido and... dst:took another sip of the wine.What... Burns: he didn't know was that the wine had been poisoned by...

I'd not only say that fighting is not a negative thing, i'd even go as far as claiming that duelling and roleplaying are completely unlinked at this point in time. There may have been a time, long ago, when roleplaying and fighting were deeply bound together, like GGs who kill Necros and vice-versa, and Lores who don't attack if they are not attacked, but imo, that time has long since faded. Today, we roleplay, chat and have fun at willows, and still attack anything alive there... it's even common to attack exactly the person you are talking to, and i like it that way =) Of course there are other places for RPing where fighting is prohibited, like windy's pub in the sanctuary, where those who are down and don't need more losses gather to have some fun time, too, but i have to give in that that's just not my world in there... strange things are going on there :/ There is no real link between RP and duels in my eyes, not even when people have a dicussion and the argument gets to a point at which a old-fashioned fist-fight has to take place, people rather do it like *punches on xxx's nose* *stumbles, wipes the blood away and deals a kidney-punch to yyy* *bends over, but recovers after a few moments and goes straight for xxx's stomach* instead of really dueling each other... I have to give in that i neither like nor understand the meaning of that treaty anymore, but i still decide to rather leave the poor little Lores alone and only attack those who think on the same lines as i do, which are mostly the stronger players like Raven and Shadow^^ But, on the other hand, i have chosen to mainly fight at willow's and leave the other players alone... the best combat partners are at willow's anyway =D

obviously, i've made a mistake there... the official title of the song is 'Brain Damage', but the last line of the chorus says 'I'll see you on the dark side of the moon', that's why it got the subtitle 'dark side of the moon'^^ [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmBiORtHqTs&feature=related"]Brain Damage / Dark side of the Moon[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wVRZI-aJsU"]Girl on the Moon[/url] i love them both =)

nobody knows the game developments before manu releases them, so how should that work? i guess you could do some kind of a historical point fo view on those things, but the old announcements are public anyway, so i don't really see the point in that...

how about those: Girl on the moon - foreigner man on the moon - REM and my personal favorite: dark side of the moon - pink floyd

ok, i have no idea what changed, but i can log in again now so please close / delete, ty for your attention^^

I have just tried to log into my acc after going idle, and i didn't get in =( yes, i have tried the normal things liek using e-mail address, using playername, clear cache and cookies, restart and reconnect^^ anybody else here having such troubles, or is it me doing something wrong? :/

as i have very little time atm, i'd like to work on the gossips, strategy compendium and maybe a bit of history section^^ i think i could also handle some pieces about general events and AL events once my exams are over and i have some sparetime again =)

have you ever thought that there might be just nothing to add? xD people normally only say something when something is missing/going wrong, and keep their heads down as long as everything seems fine... i can observe that everytime when writing exams ('everyone has their sheets?' answer A :'NOOOO, i haven't got one' answer B: *silence, with everybody thinking 'i have mine, but there might be someone... so i better keep quiet') i have read your post, and i have found nothing to add evan after reading the newspaper for two days... there's everything in that list, it's straight out perfect^^

what about The Ninjunny? i haven't seen you playing with that acc in ages, you could use it once again for a bit of fun in marind bell, couldn't you? xD

actually, the motion of the moon and the sun (in RL) are not connected at all (unless you count that the moon runs on a circle-like way around the black hole in the middle of our galaxy along with all other stars in the galaxy... everything is relative^^) so, why should we assume that the MD lands have a geo-centric star movement instead of a helio-centric? It doesn't make any sense to say that we will see the moon again once the sun moves again, you can also see the moon at bright daylight half of the month in RL... I'd rather suggest that the pillars only influence the movement of our world around it's own axis, not the movement of the moon or (given the geo-centric point of view) the sun. If that is true, the moon should turn on it's normal way around the MD world, and we should be able to see it from time to time. IF it didn't turn, it would fall down due to gravity. So, considering both arguments to be true (i'm not that sure, never listened that closely in physics), that leaves two options: A) the moon doesn't exist, or it existed, but was stopped on it's way when the pillars broke down and fell down to the world on the 'night side', and our planet is huge enough we didn't notice B)Our moon runs so far away from our world that it needs exactly one year for one round around the planet, and the breaking of the pillars didn't stop the world from turning, but slowed it down so much that now a day (turn around it's own axis) is as long as one year (one turn around the sun), making sun always shine on one side of our world (which would then be the side the MD lands are on) and the moon run in a geo-static orbit on the other side of the world. To clarify, that would mean that the sun, the world and the moon are always in a row, with us being dots on the world that are on the side that is turned towards the sun, and therefore we couldn't see the moon ever (except if we found a way to travel halfway around the world). now, b2t, what can nelya and bootes do: assuming that the pillars didn't influence the turning of the world, but were influenced by it, they could have broken from the same cause that slowed the world down (i think that argument has already been here), because, being teleportation devices, the pillars have to work with the curve and the turning of the planet, else they would send you somewhere they aren't supposed to. So i would suggest that bootes and nelya don't try to fix the pillars and see what happens, but rather try to speed the world up again, maybe with the inner magic 'cure' lady nelya posesses and a huge amount of transposition-principle... strange idea, yes, but the only one i can think of :/

i already guessed that Amo and Kala are roughly the same 'size' (stats, creatures, knowledge...) as they are the same person (more or less^^), but whenever two people of the same strenght come to fight each other, none of them comes out of it unharmed... so i'd still say that running and calling ren and his spaceship to help would be the best chance for amoran to get both characters out of it unharmed, as ren can keep Kala at distance without crushing her for sure =)

I'd like to bring in a new idea: Amoran could flee and wait for KK to calm down a bit, and ask for some help on that matter. I don't think that fighting is a good solution, as some posts have already elaborated, but convincing KK might end bad, too, simply because KK seems to think that she is WAY stronger than Amoran and won't listen to her, but turn her reasons down as a weaklings struggle for surviving and kill her anyway to show that she is right and Amoran is wrong. So i'd suggest that Amoran flees her sister and gets help from someone really strong, maybe ren, who helped her in AL up to now, who can fend off KK for some time so Amoran has a chance to talk to KK without the constant fear of being stabbed^^ Facing your dark side is a heroic and cool thing to do (anybody here knowing the Legend of Zelda? ), but it ends bad if you are not strong enough to kick your shadow's butt... I don't suggest that Kala is dark and Amoran bright, of course, but Kala is the one who seeks combat, while Amoran avoids it at most times, so, together with the assumption that Kala brought them to the Accursed Growth (which must not necessarily be true, maybe Amoran went there, dizzy as she was, she might well have mistaken necro and lore and just dreamed to be in loreroot while she actually went through outer Necrovion...), i think we can call kala the 'darker side' for the time being^^ I'd further suggest that Amoran should not only talk about how sad Kala would be if she killed her, but also tell Kala that she is a part of her and that she might become a mindless battle machine if she got rid of Amoran by slaying her, like back then with Khalazdad, who needed his bright side to become the Balanced, so she might have a good chance if she told her sister that it would be against all her selfish reasons to kill a part of her I hope that makes sense and helps people to come out of this unharmed^^

Happy new year!! and there's 364 days, 23 hours and 6 mins left of 2009 for me right now =) have fun, and hopefully you survive the hangover^^

your parents eat the cookies, and an angel brings the gifts and lights the candles, i thought everyone knew that... i wonder if anybody here knows that tale, watching the x-mas movies, i get the strange feeling that the fat red guy is more common than the christmas angel in most countries ... PS: kiddies, don't drink coke, you see how fat you grow when you do it!! :lol:

is there a school for that sort of sarcasm? i want to have some^^ seriously, wander, you get all sorts of advertisements more than once, think only of the stupid protector PM's, those few extra from Glai won't hurt you xD oh, and while i'm here, i'd still like to be in the staff of the paper, i like little work and long deadlines, and i know about some of the things going on ingame, as i'm online for training quite a lot =)

MD land wars is a bit different from San Andreas Wars, i guess xD and it wouldn't make sense if dst and no one competed (sorry guys, you know i like you both, but you just play unfair =P) in the land wars... remember the last disaster? -.- i like the idea of GTA wars, though... maybe that could be fun, if the original state is brought back once the contest is over, and the winning ally gets a small bonus until the next war starts (not permanently, there are not enough allies to give away perm boni for winning such a war...) on the other hand, if the war lasts to long, people who die in the first hours will get bored, and if it was too short, some allies wouldn't have a realistic chance (like if most strong members from one ally come from US, and the war starts at 10 am server time and ends after 3 hours, that wouldn't be very fair...) plus, land wars are either boring or even annoying to non-allie players, and that number is rather large and should therefore be considered... if they can die in the war, but not kill, the fun is totally spoiled for them... and excluding them seems unfair LOL all in all, i don't think that such wars would be a good idea, but i still like the idea =)

panem et circenses, right? xD it makes sense that players who already won a contest can't compete anymore, but it was kinda funny =( and even though i liked the contest very much, i also like that i'm once and for all out of it, nobody can ask me for favors anymore, and i don't have to deny most of them anymore^^ plus, i think we can find ways to entertain ourselves without HC, best example: the loreroot battle tournament =) just find some players who like to battle (with monsters, mind or any other means you can imagine), set a few rules and enjoy the fun =D

i wonder what's going to happen with head-hiding-accs, now that dst is able to shu them to the gazebo xD imagine they sign in and stand at the gazebo, where the hungry mob is waiting for blood *hehe* and another thing about the differences between mps: surely you will have freshmen and experienced players in every mp, but the difference is much greater in mp3 than in mp5... i remember my very first hc, i had just registered on 25th and then tried to compete with two aramor warrior , a lvl 2 grasan and two heretic archer 2 LOL you will also have pacts, organized teams and backstabbing in every mp, just think of the MRs, they alone are in every mp, and once gathered 15k heads for their group... they gave up their plan on 1st, else they could have done whatever they wanted to the head contest, right liberty? =P also, i think that it will be a LOT harder to win the contest by teaming up if head-hiders will actually be shu-ed (remeber, there are no rules on what people can and can't do with that spell), which gives a huge advantage to mp3 with good critters, and brings a bit more balance in the mp4 contest, even if one has a superb rit, they don't have the stats to survive 3 good attacks in a row, given the stat damage the heads do... that doesn't apply to the mp3 grasans, because heads don't give neg stats, as far as i know, and NO mp3 has the stats to kill 6 grasans with anything less than 5 grasans/chaos archers xD and it'll get even more fun with the new spells-system, now it will maybe get a contest without spells for real^^
