Assira the Black

Assira the Black Tainted Leads the ones she has tainted (things has calmed down) Plans Watches Has held some events- performed a dance and has held a Deception talk. Participates in quests (Normally on at evenings my time during weekdays and on most of the day on weekends) StrongWilled Legna Child of Time (Not on as often as Assira, maybe once a week or more depending on mood but can go through periods of weeks with no activity) Plays pranks help with a few events Guardian of happiness :D

There are different ways to view such a role (and character types fit to fill them) 1)Someone Wise and fair 2) Strong sense of Justice 3)Vengeance/revenge These of course are not the only ways a role/character can go, just the first few types that come to mind. In most stories it is someone with a strong sense of Justice that hunts down killers to protect the people. Given the md twist to things Vengeance or revenge... the more vigilante approach I would find to be more interesting. My main point of this is that whom ever decides to step up for the role... does not necessarily have to fall under the typical archetypes of such a role.

I think the role could work out if planned out and if changes were made later to help balance it better. It makes sense that such a role would exist in MD to help bring balance. But to also make the roles of killing enter more of the mysterious/shadows. An act that is not as openly done but as mentioned above, takes creativity. It just might add another element or complexity to MD. In rl there has always been a counter to (social) crimes (consider killing in game more social and not an actual md game crime). It just take changes to a few things to make it a little more difficult to figure out who the killer is (like with Eon's Contracts that have to state the contractors name). As for who the role would suit... I am not sure.

The quest is now closed. Thank you Gljivoje for participating. Your song invokes thought and the music you chose suits it. You win the 3 silver coins. In the future I may hold another similar quest and have it run for a longer time period.

This will run for one more day and then will be closed.

*pouts* I like to sing... but I am not the best at it. I tried making a song and chose some music to go with. It would be really great if people added their songs that they created (has to be created by you) and add some music to it (can be from youtube, if a song with vocals is chosen... the vocal portion will not be counted just the instrumental music will be) . My song: Big plum Small plum Boy, I like to eat Fresh plum Rotten plum Ugh!I prefer the first one Purple plum Red plum It doesn't matter to me Sweet plum Sour plum Are good together One plum Two plum One for me and two for another Music to go with:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XocGuknk_M 1st Place: 3 Silver 2nd Place: 2 Silver 3rd Place: 1 Silver There is a catch, YOU HAVE to sing in front of at least three people who are awake in md. It can be other singers you sing in front of .... it can be me. Anybody as long as they are awake and listening. The only other exception is your or known alts, for example if Hiria, Assira, and I are gathered in one place they will not count as part of the three people who are awake...There would only be 1 witness. All three people do not have to be gathered at the same place, you can sing to them separately. Have fun! Legna By the way, I will be judging based on the song you write, music chosen to go with, and number of people that witness your song. Post on the topic if you sung in md, the music that went with it, and the witnesses.

I apologize, it was not my intention to join for just a badge. I wanted to be apart of md in some way and the CoE was an alliance that I liked to be a part of in the past. I forgot about the task given and had attempted to help out at the event where we guided people from scene to scene. I am not the best at those sort of events and it normally takes me time to prepare for them. I should have followed through on what I said I would do. As of late I have not been in the mood to enter MD as Legna and dropped the ball on anything Legna related for all things Assira related. Hiria went on the back burner long ago.

Disclaimer: The following post is made by the player behind the characters. This does not represent individual character views. It is a mixture and contains similar views to the characters. For the characters are an extension of myself that has been exaggerated and the characters allow me to experience things that I would otherwise not be able to experience. After reading through what people have said and what I have seen over time.... It is a bit disappointing. It will be a bit hard to explain this. I will try to walk through all my thoughts and ideas. I do not have problems with alliances being taken over and think that change/chaos can be the push for growth. However, I disagree with destroying an alliance. I do not know the personal history of what has happened in MD in my 3 1/2 year absence. Things have changed that took me by surprise. One of the things that took me most by surprise is not just the low population in md... but the missing spark. The living spark of those still popping in to md. People want to point fingers saying that this person is not doing enough to make the land active or alliance active. That is just shifting the responsibility of what is going on within md. Events have been held, quests made, rping is being done, battles between creatures... The participation in these are low... sometimes it is due to timezones, rl problems, or overall lack of interest. It is individuals that make md what it is. There are more features in md now than when I first started playing. I fell in love with MD not because of being able to cast spells, have items, battle with creatures, join an alliance, or because of the art work. (All big things that make MD unique, interesting, and fun. And nice features.). It was the community that drew me and captured me. The thought and hard work put into MD. The twists and turns that MD can take. Before I found md I played Battle Magica, it was a unique game. I watched that game die and are still one of the few that pop back in to just see if any of the other vets still visit. So once I find a community of people I like... I stick with them. I do not wish MagicDuel to follow in that path. To dismantle an alliance whos members log in, hold events, rp, and so on... Is taking another spark from MD. It may cause a wildfire or it may just send up a final puff of smoke. All the lands have alliances that are not very 'active' or do not appear to be 'active'. By holding this expectation solely the GotR is very bias. It is easy to destroy/break something, but harder to rebuild it. I do not think this will destroy the GotR and honestly as long as there is still unity among Lorerootians an alliance is not truely needed. But that goes for any land and alliance. I am not disappointed with the alliance takeover, but more with the reactions of others that I have seen. Easy to shift the blame to others for the failure of the alliance versus taking responsibility for our own roles in it. I am not active as Legna and so my participation in loyalty to Loreroot is low and I have not been of much help to keep up appearances of Loreroot being active. But the thing is... people should not have to put up the appearance of something. I have learned that just because you do not see it, does not mean it is not happening. If you want activity or something to change to what you envision it being. Then step up and do so. Change it by being what it is you want changed about it. If you want a land to be stronger, then be the backbone of that land. Be the energy force pushing it forward. Keep up communication with others from that land/alliance. One of the things I love most about MD, is that the meaning of the realm depends on everybody. The story constantly changes based on OUR decisions. If a land decides to go to war then they can make that choice. If a person wants to be a leader for a land they can strive for that goal. If a person just wants to go around picking flowers then they can do so. There are certain elements that is solid, principles that guide the game, and game mechanics that can limit certain things. But this is where the imagination and will can alter what happens. To sum all this up, I do not think the GotR should be dismantled. For to do so might break the foundational meaning of why alliances even exist in the first place. If you want activity then do something, if you want change be the change and do not expect others to do it for you. I admit there have been times that I too have blamed things on lack of activity or felt that something was not changing quick enough. Or thinking back to the old days and comparing it to present time. I have tried to let go of such thinking and move forward with the times presented to me now. Not to make it like times of the past but to create something new. To strive forward building on what was. I hope that I have not bored you all with my ramblings and if you survived to the end. Thank you for your patience. Regards, Angel The player behind Assira, Legna, and Hiria.

rping... sparing... planning... battling... learning... events... kind of burned out on quests. But normally I like doing quests as well.

You actually think that you can delete an email/text before the other person sees it. (That one has probably been said some where... but I am too lazy to go through it all to see). Wish that spicy pickles gives you enough energy (ap) to get through the day. (If a spicy pickle give ap in MD... I can only imagine what coffee or energy drinks would do if added to MD. Mmmm expresso)

Then welcome back, change plays a key role in growth and patience helps keeps the 'burn out' phase away.

I hope you get to feeling better.

Happy Birthday, Intrigue

When md seems like a black hole that you can never truly escape (in a good way) (Btw I have had dreams about md and woke up thinking what happened in the dream happened here... but then later found out that it didn't)
