Assira the Black

The sandals in the md shop is fine, as well as the flying shoes at scenes that give ap.

Changes made to original post. @Azrafar, Is that the correct profile link for your character that will be participating in this contest? (In the original post)

Only limited to stat boosters. Increased regeneration is fine through md shop and items like tea. Methods of increasing ap through items is fine as well (candy, cake, flying shoes or pickles). The main things is that I want people moving through the realm, not standing in one spot using items or md shop to increase the volition.

I think it would add a new... depth or twist to illusions/tags. I am not very familiar with illusions in md. An illusionist can become a master at deception or become so enthralled with the illusion that it does not differ from reality. It would be an interesting role-play element.

Start Date: 12/20 Start Time:20:00MDST Location: Gazebo of Equilibrium End Date: 12/27 End Time: 20:00MDST Rewards: To Be Determined This is a race of volition. Who ever gets the highest percent increase of volition in that time frame get first place. All the way to 3rd. Rules: Arrive 10 minutes before start time. Do not leave the scene. This allows me (Assira) and another judge/s to look at your profile to record your volition. (Update: idling at the GoE or being completely logged off is fine. We just need to be able to get an accurate reading of the volition) Do not use items/mdshop to increase volition stat. Volition should only be gained through the normal means. EDIT: Increasing Regeneration and ap (pickles, candy, cake, and flying shoes) is allowed. Must register in advance and please post your true profile link. Arrive on time or idle at the GoE at the End Time. If you are logged off then that is fine. The reasoning for this is that you need to be 'still' while I record peoples end volition. So being at the GoE in person, idling at the GoE, or being logged off at 20:00MDST allows me to record the volition from profile link. The profile link updates quickly and I will record those numbers before the start time and after the end time. If you wish to be a judge please pm me. Judges will be anonymous until after the contest ends. Example 1: Starting volition 177.99 which on profile link shows up as 177 Ending volition 178 178-177=1 1/177=.0056 .0056x100=.56% Example 2: Starting volition 40 Ending volition 100 100-40=60 60/40=1.5 1.5x100=150% Example 3: Starting Volition 1000 Ending Volition 1200 1200-1000=200 200/1000=.2 .2x100=20% So it will be harder for people with high volition to win. But easier for newer players to win. Comments, Suggestions, questions, and etc. are welcome. (This is not a MotM sponsored event, this way people in the MotM can participate if they wish. Judges will not be able to take part in the race.)

Where does the voting take place? (is it in game or on the forums?)

Happy Birthday :)

Happy birthday

So to make a tag the "main" role would you select the small circle or the big circle?

I am interested... I just may not have the time to do it...

Heat veins concept I find intriguing. It was on my list of things that I want to investigate. -Assira

I think people agree that a min is okay. But to have no limit on the max.

4532x4 I have a reason for choosing those numbers.

Happy Birthday

Clarification: The Masks of the Mist guild will not become an alliance. It is open to people of any land or alliance. Its purpose is to bring in different skills to provide entertainment.

Trapped within this cage I am a lone. It is through the painful sensations that I learn what it means to live within this cage. The light shining from the outside is blinding and I find comfort within the dark depths of this world. This cage is not meant to confine me but keep something out. To keep something from tainting my world. I do what I need to take of it. Only a whisper ever escapes my lips but that is all that needs to be heard.

Somethings I can see in myself... others not so much http://colorquiz.com/results.php?code=f,2,5,1,6,0,7,4,3,7,5,1,2,6,0,7,4,3,7&p=full

I agree with them.

In each hand he carries a scimitar Kyphis slowly lowers himself down until he is sitting with his knees straight in front and his head leaning back, both his arms spread and the tips of the scimitars just meeting behind his back waiting Assira the Black steps lightly into the circle her barefeet hitting the ground, wearing a cruel Vipers head mask that pushes her brown hair back away from her face Assira the Black has zig-zag lines racing down her extremities that shift and shimmer in the light, and a small daggers in each hand Assira the Black kneels opposite of Kyphis with her head lowered and her dagger poised in front of her with the tips of the blades barely touching as if poised to strike Kyphis springs up into the air like the hawk taking flight, swinging the scimitars first forward and then to the left, using their momentum to go into a spin Assira the Black dives under and past Kyphis, swiftly moving her daggers forward and then to the right, propelling herself into a spin like how a viper would twin around their prey Kyphis lands on his feet and continues the spin until he faces Assira again, half kneeling with the left scimitar held up behind his head and the right across his body watching the vipers every movement Assira the Black stops spinning with one leg extended straight behind her, then moves into a kneeling position with her right dagger behind her head and the left dagger across her body keeping her eyes on the hawk Kyphis steps forward and up toward Assira, reversing the position of the swords, then pauses for a half second calculating this vipers every move Assira the Black steps up toward Kyphis, matching his movements with her daggers as a viper would taunt a mouse Kyphis circles out toward his right, away from Assira, swinging both swords down and out in front of him in a threatening manner Assira the Black raises her daggers crossing them in front of her face protectively and then sweeps them down and out away from her body to her sides Kyphis pauses when the swords are in front of him, then spins back toward Assira, bringing both scimitars straight up in front of him poised to strike the viper Assira the Black fluidly moves the daggers from her sides upward and in, towards Kyphis scimitars stopping short of touching them defending herself from the claws of this hawk Kyphis turns first to the right, swinging the right sword out and behind him, then to the left so that both swords are behind him, like a hawk getting ready to strike from the sky Assira the Black spins the daggers in her hands reversing the grip that she has on them and spreads them apart so that the hilts point to Kyphis's swords and the blades point out Kyphis suddenly steps rapidly forward between her open arms, almost on top of Assira, bringing both swords up under her arms to meet behind her head in a deadly embrace Assira the Black stands steadily in front of Kyphis, swiftly crossing her daggers behind his head, tips pointed at the base of his spin Kyphis slowly lowers the scimitars, crossing them over as they go down Assira's back, until the blades are just touching at the tips, behind Assira's knees warning of the dangers of facing a hawk Assira the Black runs the edge of the daggers lightly down Kyphis's back Assira the Black uncrosses them to bring them around his waist acknowledging the dangers, rotating her wrists so the tips point down again and remind the hawk of the dangers of a vipers fangs Kyphis slowly drags the flat edge of the scimitars over Assira's thighs as he uncrosses the swords, acknowledging his own danger, bringing them behind his back once more Kyphis steps back Assira the Black also steps back Kyphis bows from the waist Assira the Black returns the bow, then turns and exits the circle Kyphis turns and exist the circle where he entered : Mya Celestia applauds .Peace.: *applauds and nods pleased* Spectacular.

I believe that is it for tonight *smiles* [/log] The fonts and layout of that may be choppy... The ability to pull logs was not available at the time. So I copied and pasted it all as the event went on. As for how it will be judged. Cleanliness ( not a blurry scan or pic) Representation (whether it portrays the ideas behind the guild) Creativity (being outside of what people would normally draw for a logo) The logo will be something that will represent the guild so I wish for it to portray the guild well and have some depth to it.

College of Darkness- Deception For the next month I wish to talk with people on their views of how deception is used. Whether a group of people get together to talk amongst themselves or cross my path and wish to talk about it, then that is perfectly fine. I just ask that if you meet in a small group then you send me a log of it and I will answer any questions that I can. This way discussions are not limited to my time zone. After I accumulate 'discussion' logs, I will combine it into main points and post here with the names of the people who said it (unless you say that you do not want your name written down). The purpose of this is to get people thinking and it is a homework of sorts. I could give another talk but I think this will be more involved and let others join in when I am not around. If you do not want to join a group discussion then you can PM me with your thoughts. *repeats* The main topic is: Ways deception is used. -Assira the Black

When you see a shadowy creature get killed/vanquished in a tv show and your roommate says, "No it is not the tainted ones." When you dress up as your character. I actually wore a belly dancing outfit to the Renascence Festival. When you worry about MD stuff more than rl stuff. When a friend you have not seen in a while asks "How is life doing?" and then asks, "How the game is going?" When friends and family try getting you addicted to other games but fail. When your desk is cluttered with MD related things. When some people at work even know about md.
