This has been fixed. It works fine now.

:) I remember you mentioning that you had plans for the billboard and something about a quest/s, after I mentioned in chat about something similar to what was posted above to something else you had said in chat. Hehehe...at this point trying to remember that conversation at the GoE escapes me. I did not realize exactly what you had in mind. This can be a clickie that people use until your plans are set. My coding in the clickie is probably not very aesthetically pleasing and crude. I worked with what I know so far which is not a whole lot. I plan to build upon it as I go and after making it up today I figured I had a good enough layout/foundation to build upon.

I have developed a clickie that will be used to store information about on going quests, contests, Market, Events, and other things. The idea behind this is to add a more in game feel to the quests, market, and so on. It would not get rid of the idea of the forums to keep track of who won a quest, scores, why, and what reward they were given. People wishing to add their quests, contests, and events would need to contact me with the Quest/Event Name, Who is the main creator, if it is a land or alliance based quest/contest, any requirements, time restrictions (like if it only lasts a set time frame), and rewards. And the introductory statement that you wish for the person to read to begin your quest or hook the person on starting it. For the market, this is mainly for sells/buy/trades that last over a week or are more permanent. Like if you are regularly buying certain creatures, selling the resources you often harvest, or something along those lines. Since on the forums people forget that a specific person is always selling wood or herbs or water, it is a good way to keep track of the ongoing trades wanted. Right now the clickie is the panel above the central stairs at the GoE. It is password protected for the moment until some people show interest posting a few things. -Assira the Black (edit: Posted this in the General Forum since it covers more than quests)

Have fun

Hmm... I forgot about this topic... I have two poems that I had written for something I drew. I might post the images later who knows. These poems/images were for a contest but I missed the deadline. I was going to pick one for submission. So I did not get to submit them. Chaos World of Dreams lost in me Winds of change are calling Within the broken darkness lies A light shining brightly Chaos beckons on the tattered pathless Shaping course an illusion of bliss A night to remember off the slope Round it takes one into hope Gem A drop falling low away from the world that be Into a lonely darkness that none want to see Harsh words and negativity holds These help to shape and mold Clinging to what is near Bringing in what is dear A gem emerges its shape shown true Its broken and shattered... crude But in a dream peace is found In the contrast and sound The gem is made whole Listening to the soul Seeing beauty beyond the walls The light bends as it grows tall Hope of acceptance is not far away Time of life is here today

Question... If it is a permanent quest is there a limited supply of wps? For example if over the course of a few months 20 different people submit entries and 12 fall into the wp range... (I know that it is unlikely that that many people would submit pictures within that time frame) I just want to point out that if it is player sponsored wps there might be difficulties later on keeping up with those that fall into the wp reward range.

Happy Birthday :D

Hmm... I thought it pimped a current one. Before I had tried to get a pimped grasan with out a regular grasan and it would not do it. That is if my memory it correct. I may be wrong. I am not certain on the age that a grasan would be pimped, if it is randomly selected or if it goes for the youngest.

I have not been a protector before because of adepts. I have been close to capping. As for whether I want to be a MP6 that would depend on its definition. If it is to mean to help and give at any moment. Then no. If the 'powers' or abilities of a protector is given without thought and is expected to do as much, then that limits them to being not much more than a useable item and I find to be disrespectful. I do not like being stagnant and seek to push things into motion, causing chaos or disorder. I would help but maybe not in the ways wished or expected. I like a challenge and like challenging others.

While losses may be 'easier' to gain and it is possible to gain experience/heat while losing a battle in the current system, I was thinking more a long the lines of what is gained from sacrificing the creature. Another influence upon the current system that determines the stats when sacrificing them. And after looking up in the forums, I have found one similar post that talks about including wins and losses in the creature data. I have not done extensive research in the forums. The word combination brought up many forum posts. http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/7866-creature-of-balance/?hl=%2Bcreature+%2Bwins+%2Blosses

This is just some thoughts and it may not fit in anywhere or be a pain to make changes too. There are sword, sword balances, sheath balance, and sheath. It is best at times for our profile to have a balance of wins and losses. But for creatures only wins are shown for upgrades. In life experience does not come solely from the battles won but also the battles lost. And in some cases it may make sense for certain creatures to be stronger from the amount of battles it lost rather than what it won. Or that certain skills from sacrificing the creatures would be stronger. After being knocked down in a fight time after time, a person may have a higher endurance or learn other ways to avoid attacks. So it could be assumed that their defense is higher than their attack. Or something along these lines.

Chose Buddhism, but I do not fit neatly under that category. I do not follow a god or goddess but I also could be clumped under Wiccian or counted as a Green Witch... since I grew up with some of that and currently looking to restart my path on that. Also grew up with Christianity and some Jewish back ground. I was Christian for a bit but that was mainly because of family and tradition. So now I follow a Buddhist-Wiccian combination. Another words, I am just me regardless of what label I put down.

Taint a concept of the mind and spirit. It can come in many forms but to describe it simply, imagine a white stone that mud has dropped upon. The contrast between the two is clear and it does not seem... natural. If the mud is accepted and stays there over time the stone changes color experiencing something new. The mud and the stone is indistinguishable and is one thing. But if the mud is washed off by rain it will stay white for a while. Though over time the stone will be eroded to pieces mixing with the soil around it becoming tainted by its own environment. Everything becomes tainted, whether it is a new idea taking root in the mind, an affliction upon the body, or life itself. So a way to embrace the NC taint is to enter a state of mind to accept all part of your mind, body, and soul. Regardless of what will stare you in the face. To do this, entering a trance will be beneficial. Gather the following items: Glass bowl, skull, or other container. Unidentified plants, toxic plants, tea leaves, aromatic herbs and nightshade. (the amounts used will vary from person to person) dagger, knife, or sharp implement Decorated Candle (preferably from sages keep, but other candles can be used) Incense with Incense burner Rock or small round object Cake Chalk water string Go to the House of Tainted Times. Draw a circle with the chalk large enough for you to sit down inside with all the items. Place the candle infront of you, the dagger to the left with the cake next to it, the bowl to the right of the candle with the rock beside it, the plant material just beyond the bowl, and the incense to the right of the bowl. Light the incense and what for its smell to surround you. With in the bowl place the unidentified plants, tea leaves, and toxic plants. Add a little bit of water to the bowl and let it set for 10 minutes. Tie the aromatic herbs and nightshade together. Lite the candle and wait until the wax starts running down it's side. Place the tip of the tied aromatic herbs and nightshade into the flame of the candle. Waff the burn herbs scent around you, breath in and out deeply. Take notice of the mingling of scents. Place the tied burning herbs into the bowl of water and plant materials. Take the knife and dip it into the bowl. Stir the bowl and then cut your palm with the knife. Allow your blood to drop into the bowl until the water turns dark. Stir the contents of the bowl with the tip of the knife again and set the knife down. Pick up the stone and dip it into the bowl. Then place the stone close to you, almost touching. Give the cake as offering to the shades or spirits to hopefully allow safe passage within your mind as the ritual takes hold. The stone acts as a connection between the realm of your mind/spirit and the physical realm that you are currently in. The ritual ends when you make your way back to the physical plain. Take the incense and extinguish it in the bowl. The pour some of the liquid from the bowl on to the candle, thus tainting the candle. Break the circle by wiping away the chalk. Walk to the way of cleansing to toss into the fire the cake and rest of the contents of the bowl. Keep the candle and lite it any time when you want to enter another trance. Though lighting the tainted candle would only have mild effects of the trance. To enter a trance fully the ritual would need to be repeated. -Assira the Black

Happy Birthday :D

Happy Birthday :)

Change: Link: http://i.imgur.com/LbbNhaf.jpg Link is easier to view but I pasted the image below as well [log=image] [/log] I am not great at drawing people... I dislike drawing feet and hands.

On the matter of subjectivity, any human of any role will have bias or act in accordance with their point of view. One thing that would help someone with this role would be transperancy with their actions, to either the judges/those in power or with the public. As for whether it is needed *shrugs* I do not know. I do not know how often those who are behind the scenes (actions/conflicts that the public does not know about) have to deal with this and if that by creating a warden it would make things easier for them or more complicated. And it depends on if anyone would want a role like that. This is a similar situation to the warrent role that was suggested. Some roles are better implemented if someone already has made it their own. In this case and in the warrent role it is dependent on others to create the tools necessary or make some other changes. I think it is a good idea in that I can see the possibilities of it increasing rp in jail related aspects. It maybe interesting to pair that with some of the a25 changes.

Happy Birthday :D

[log= Drawing] [/log] Materials: 20 water 2 Lumber 4 Branches 15 Unidentified plants 11 resin 3 memory stone 5 sand 3 colored paper The lumber is cut down to form two parts, one where the crutch rests under the arm and the second the foot guard. The largest branch that can be found is hollowed out. The unidentified plants are fermented and beaten. The fibers are extracted from the plant and weaved together to form string. Two large memory stones are set to the side and one crushed, three pebbles are selected from the crushed one. Three heated resin are applied to the colored paper and three sand sprinkled over the paper to make sand paper. Cut a single vertical slit in the branch at knee height and then another at ankle height. This is where the ball joints will be added too later. Be careful not to cause horizontal cracks. Then make two slits at the base of the hollow branch going up about 4 inches. Cut three holes all the way through into the two intact memory stones. Soak the branch in water over night and add more as needed. When the hollow branch is flexible slowly pull the first slit with out making the slit split the entire piece. When it is wide enough push one of the memory stones into the slit with the holes facing up and down but at a slight angle where the holes can be seen. Do the same to the slit at the ankle area. For the two slits at the base spread it apart to where it looks like a three pronged fork. Let the hollow branch and stones dry. The arm rest lumber piece is glued to the top of the hollow branch with some heated resin. On the side of the hollow branch at about hand height, it is sanded flat. Cut three straight lines and then add notches into the lines. Then cut the string into three long pieces. Cut one hole into each of the three memory stone pebbles. Tie one string to each pebble. The loose string slide, one through each of the groves. Remove the knee memory stone joint, use an item and the holes to pry it out. Take one string and match up its place on the grooved panel to the hole in the stone. Do that for all three. Do the same for the ankle joint. The string closest to the front is glued with resin to the front base split. The string the back is glued with resin to the back base split. The center string is glued into the center hole of the ankle joint. Then the lumber foot guard is glued to all three prongs at the base of the hollow branch. The front stone knob on the panel can be adjusted to make the toes of the foot lift. Pull too much and you could fall or just hop around on the heel of your foot. The back stone knob on the panel helps to balance the weight on the foot. The center stone knob on the panel pulls the leg up off the ground. Sliding the knob down on the panel will let the foot fall. Now... for how it is attached. Hmm.... I have a more permanent solution. With the remaining branches, spikes are cut and glued with resin to the side of the crutch. The spikes will hold the crutch... close to the body.... permanently. Or if you prefer the pain free method... make up some more string and tie yourself to the crutch. But if I make the crutch... I may not have enough string to secure the crutch to you with that method. -Assira the Black

All rewards have been given.

1) Mysticism or intrigue. A lite lantern can show what is hidden in the darkness, but a lantern that has been blown out leaves one wondering what is there. 2)Restlessness. Time always is going by but in the silence and calm, restless emerges. The need to do something 3) Thrill. Chaos or movement in a direction brings a sense of thrill for me. A single loose or missing screw and a whole thing could come falling apart 4) Longing. Connections made and expanded upon, means that there is something to lose. [log=Image] [/log] -Assira

I will try to get all items given out this weekend when I run into you all. Nim has given her three gold coins out. I have crossed through the gold coins for those people

Maybe this was created around the time of the rp item shop. I remember there were so issues with that. At the moment I can not remember the exact time frame that the rp items were added. I would look it up but my phone takes a bit of time to do things on the Internet.

Happy Birthday Burns.
