Granos has control over every mind in MD, we just do not know it yet.
 
(not sure if someone has mentioned something similar, I have read through this once but I became braindead about a page and a half through the forum topic... information overload, too many conspiracies)
 
The vet players never left, we just did not see them.
 
MD being stagnant is false, you just do not see what is being done. For inaction is an action.You have the choice.
 
I am Bored, has the greatest power in MD... He seems to be able to make people say... "I am bored". How do you do this?
 
If MD was in a box would it have 8, 12,16, or 24 courners? (think box vs. cube)
 
Thats all I can think of for now.

Today Pictures, the potato plants are dying back and I will cut them to the ground this weekend. Then will let them set. 

I pulled the rest of my radishes since it is too hot for them. I left my carrots there but will probably not get anything from them. 
 
In place of the radishes I have planted the basil that I had in small pots. They were looking sad and drying out too quickly in the heat while in the small pots.
 

Some of my tomato plants are on the right and they are going crazy. Since I did not have time to do much with them... they have gotten out of hand.

 
Below a lot of Zinnias are blooming and my roses are as well. There are a few patio tomato plants that have tomato fruit and you might spot the mint and sad basil.

 
Below is a new rose plant that my friend bought me for my birthday. It is not blooming yet and is just a tiny little thing.

You could have someone else intervene to stop or save the Master from becoming found out from the sisterhood. A person that seems to know what the elementals are doing and wishes for the on going conflict between the Bandit and the sisterhood. 

If I get no feedback then I will determine things to the best of my ability and will not listen to complaints later that just say, "This is unfair." Now if someone give constructive complaints, feedback, and suggestions a long with "This is unfair because..." I will listen. :P

Now should people get a few points for judging on quests?

I will be around some tomorrow to pass the items out at the GoE. I can be around some more here and there if someone lets me know the times that are good for them. 
forum pm is the best way to get a hold of me. 

ok, this was a terribly scaring task (I have arachnophobia) but from every leap of armadeira and my screams, between jumping and multiple photos, and the stench that locked my throat for a few minutes, all survived, all spiders captured were released in nature.
1-The Opiliones are an order of arachnids commonly known as harvestmen and they are popularly known in Brazil as Spider-stinking. The main feature of it is the presence of a couple of disgusting glands that exude a repulsive stench when they feel threatened...

2-The recluse spiders or brown spiders (genus Loxosceles), also known as fiddle-back, violin spiders  or reapers, are a genus of venomous spiders known for their bite, which sometimes produces a characteristic set of symptoms known as loxoscelism (necrosis).

 
3-Phoneutria, commonly known as Brazilian wandering spiders, armed spiders (armadeiras, as they are known in Brazilian Portuguese who comes from its invariable attitude of attack, with forepaws raised.), are a genus of aggressive and venomous spiders of potential medical significance to humans.[2] They are mainly found in tropical South America. The Brazilian wandering spiders appear in Guinness World Records from 2010 as the world's most venomous spider. Guinness World Records states that although the Brazilian wandering spider venom is the most toxic, an effective antivenom is available and few fatalities occur.

 

 
4-Tarantula (Lycosa erythrognatha) Spider-of-garden, also known as Spider-of-grass or wolf spider. Poison of the Spider-of-grass causes intense pain, with burning sensation and tingling, and may cause allergic reactions.

 
 

1-Opilião, aranha-fedorenta, how it is called in Brazil (Spider-stinking) if you can take a close look in it you see the strange legs fulled with spikes.

 
 
 

Ok,  since no one else has yet presented itself, I will cast my luck ...
I would first like to say that I never stitched before; the embroidery usually follows a detailed model; and this work was not done by my wife; after the first centerlines everything else was done as my imagination was drawing (something difficult for me and it took four whole hours to finish) would like to point out also that it would be much easier after the starting point simply pull the line straight, but I decided to do it this way to show that it was laborious. Regarding the use of different colors, it was a simple decision based to break the monotony of look that would be formed to embroider with a single color.
 

To add: to the my previous quote on changing things to change them.  Creating change is good especially if it brings activity for your self or others. An alliance could do this for you. Whether you join one or create it. 
 
But if some one wishes to chang things for the sake of changing it, the it will not be a lasting change. Then the motivation, energy, and heart are not behind it. 
 
So I emphasize the why you want the fusioneers And why not something else or create something else? What do the fusioneers offer for today's community but also the community in the future? How would the fusioneers fit with the land of the dead?
whoelse will be apart of the alliance?

Hey guys,
Its me again taking a hiatus. The last time I wanted to take a break was because some in game events upset me a lot. But this time its different. My RL is making it very difficult for me to dedicate even limited hours to MD. Final year of post graduation with night duties, surgeries and superspeciality entrance exams to prepare for is making me extremely busy. I have a number of Roles in MD that I must fulfill and a lot of promises that I've made to People. I was tryiing to avoid the whole "bye for now" thing mainly because I had a bleak hope that I could handle MD time too along with my daily activities.
I really wanted to make it to mp6 and stay there for a while. Apologies to all my adepts. Feel free to adept anyone you want to. I am really sorry for not being able to fulfill my promise to you guys.
Apologies to Zleiphnier and Mallos. I know I agreed to participate in your plans and help you out with them. But rather than giving you people False hopes, I'd rather prefer you had someone more active help you out.
Blackshade, I can't be a judge anymore. Apologies for that too.
Land Leaders of MDA and East, please PM me the details of whom you want the tools to be transfered to (If it works that way. I have no idea if it does. Someone please confirm from Mur/Chewett)
No i will not be giving away my stuff or lend my stuff to anyone while i am inactive. I have full intentions of coming back time to time. Just not now.
I will responding to all PMs in Forum. No promises for the ones in game.
Thank you folks. I will miss you

A few additional thoughts, blackshade you tend to be toxic towards those that do not agree with you. Which in a community as close knit as this, it will just cause you to have issues with all that you cross. It will make it difficult to get anything done. So far you have managed to upset or come across in a more negative light with some of the more active members.  
So far you have shown the initiative in wanting to start things, like with the hell hounds and now with the fusioneers. But you have also burned/damaged bridges with your approach to peoples in put. If you are open to others input and are not so harsh towards them if you do not agree... then things tend to go better. Who knows you may find that the input leads you down a new path.
 
On the topic of alliances, I do not think it should be applied to all alliances. So lets speak specifically about the fusionieers. I think it is good for people to have goals. With this alliance though, it seems you and perhaps Mallos's alternate character (sorry I can not remember your other character's name mallos) are wanting the alliance back. But you two are working on your own and does not seem to be working together. That is if I read Mallos's intentions correctly on the other forum post about the alliance. An alliance needs to show that it can stand on it's own with out all the bells and whistles. If it can not then, it is time to let it rest until there is the community support for it. 
A few questions...
Why are you interested in the fusioneers?
If part of reviving it is to change it to something else other than the fusioneers... then why revive an alliance? If it does not stay true to its foundation then it is not the fusioneers. 
"If you succeed and the guild is revived then its not the same. It will work differently. It will have no relations to any land other than what the guild is doing or with at the time. Also the guild wouldnt be based on fighting or saccing for loyalty. It would pick its leaders based on loyalty to the dead. "
 
 Also in that quote it defeats the purpose of an alliance, a lot of what you said goes against the point of there being an alliance. If you are looking towards loyalty towards the dead... is that loyalty points or someone who is loyal to the land and whomever dies? If it is true loyalty to a land and whomever dies, seems like you are wanting to create another caretaker type alliance. 
 
Perhaps you need to take a breather and really think about the role and goal you wish to have in md and why. If you are just trying to change things to change things, then you will just be spinning your wheels.

I'd like to ask the same questions as Dst, if you're not going to answer it when she asks.
Perhaps expand a bit more on what offerings? I mean, why would the SS be involved? Just because it's in a part of that land? Or because there's some meaning?
And it does seem this is merely a passive (though not as passive as it may have meant to be) way for you to get an alliance of your own. Not saying that it's wrong, just if you want something, no point hiding it behind false pretence.

You don't want my opinion? Though luck! I am giving it even if you want it or not.
What I believe: you chose the dead because it's just a cool new toy and you think you can be "special" (see the SS thingy, the stat damage). Also, if I remember correctly, none of the current lands want to have Fusioneers IF they are led by you. So win win situation (for you).
I don't like the idea because imo it means a LOT of coding and a lot of new rules just to humor one player. But it has been done before so it might be done again. I hope not. You don't really deserve it. At least not for the moment.
So good luck! And thank you for reading my blog but please stop because you understood nothing from what I said there.
 
 
 

Also @dst i dont need or want your input. So dont waste your time or breath with my topic as youve already done that on your word blog. I never wanted your support anyways to be honest

There is not much of a point in my opinion of reviving creatures. If someone sacrifices a windy. Then it should remain sacrificed. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of sacrificing it in the first place, if someone has accidentally sacrificed a windy. Then perhaps putting a lock on certain creatures to keep from anciently sacrificing it similar to what is there for the bestiary. 
As for reviving Alliances, I do not think there should be a set way to do that... since there were different ways/reasons it ended up that way. And if you are looking to revive an alliance... then it should be a way that is unique to yourself and the people who wish to do so. Otherwise it takes away from the importance of reviving that alliance.
Automating anything of importance like that takes away something. Sometimes it makes things easier, leaving time for other things. But sometimes it takes away the human element.

Now as for revival of concepts, ideas, or research.
PWR-Player with Role- or RPC - roleplaying character (I think) pretty much already being done in a way with the tag system but a different setting. Though that system is incomplete for now while other things are being worked on and thought about. PWR/RPC was a little different, at that time it gave a reward and some direction, it reinforced the role that person took on. That system had its flaws and some got upset. But the elimination of it, disrupted something in md society for the rpiers. At the moment most of us are vets and survived past that point. We know who we are and where we stand. So the current population does not need the PWR/RPC, for we do not need that reinforcement. But to give us something to do, to work towards, offical titles or goals can help. To revive this it would take the work of all of us. A discussion and the responsibility of us left to come up with something official. By offical, I mean recognize by md society. Not something that has to be made or created.
 
Council- it has had its problems and multiple deaths. There is also the Kings Council, but for the public that wants to be apart of something and do something. And for lands or groups that do not have the capabilities of attending the Kings council since it is for rulership. So if this was to be revived, perhaps it should be done with set representative outside of the leadership and that anyone is welcome to come to a meeting to discuss things.  There could be public and closed meetings for the council. The closed meetings would be the council deciding something or talking about things to do for the public. Like events. The public meetings would be discussions on current problems (social and not social), direction, ideas, or maybe you just did not get enough ranting done at the Soundbox. What would need to be decided is how structured the council would be and adjust it so that the flaws of before are not as harmful. I believe one of the problems was that who ever was chosen could not keep up with it. It was a popularity test. So perhaps people that are chosen for it now or in the future. Is decided by the land where they reach an agreement or as close to one for who will be on the council and then just the ruler ship will decide the representatives(2 people) so a total of three people from each land/organization if they do not have a land affiliation. The representatives would attend most public meetings to discuss things that affect the land. Council members make decisions, plans, and try to solve problems.
 
Meh. that is all I have on revival of concepts discussion. Most things that you want to revive requires effort and there should not be a set system. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 

Something that came up in today's soundscape was that Chewett needs organisers - both official ones and ones who just go for it without having to ask permission. Sunfire said one of the issues is coming up with ideas. I've heard this before so I thought I'd make this thread.
Have you got an idea that DOESNT NEED CODING and which you'd love to do if you had time, but don't have time to do? Or something similar? Why not stick your idea here, and maybe someone will pick it up and make it happen for you. Scared of making a big public statement? Send me or Mallos a PM (you can send a PM to Assira or Nimrodel too- but please explain why you're doing it as they weren't at today's meeting so might not know what it's about!)

Actually i already have my own ideas i talked to Mur about. Before i put my plans out there i want to/ need to see peoples opinions. However if this is how you feel chewett then im sorry but you are wrong
