1. Never let anyone tell you what you can or can't do. 2. If you find yourself at a barrier be it a person or thing, there is always a way around it or through it. 3. Learn how to talk to people, you would be surprised what a little ass kissing can get you. 4. Always be in control of any situation you are in, once you lose control, be it on the forum or inter-personal (to the point of losing your cool ect..) leave, MD will be here tomorrow. 5. Morality is what society makes it, learn this fact then use it to make your own morality. 6. The greatest asset in MD is the people, use them. 7. Power is not Stats, Spells or Abilities, Real power is charisma. 8. Make sure you read any and everything you can get your hands on, it might not be there tomorrow. 9. Never expect anything to be given, when it is be suspicious of peoples intentions (trust only what you make yourself) 10. Never forget its not about gaining power, or recognition, its about having an extension of yourself, if you can manage that you will succeed. Also Never trust a word I say...

[Rant] Ok so its time for a real post on this issue, lets focus on what the main subject matter of this is, the problem with MD? Well guess what its not Murs incomplete projects or the lack of shiney things or AL, history or whatever other BS reason you may have. It all simply boils down to the problem being you, You the players of MD who would rather rant whine and complain about lack of things rather than working with what you have. I swear its actually worse now than it was with the RPCs, which is scary that I find myself agreeing with Burns, although not in nearly the same regard, as it seems EVERYONE now is incapable of action because they seem to wait and demand that they need X to do this or Y I cant do this because of the lack of. When you all seem to be missing the most important aspect of what makes MD what it is. Its not the fucking lore or history or even the little stories, those are filler little distractions and praise, its all about the perceptions of how you see things how the hell do you think its possible to have something like the savelites otherwise? Savelfuser was not a god, yet there is an enitre church built around one character, hes not widely regarded as a god, but enough people saw him as such thus it was through thier perceptions that such a thing is made possible, Religion in md. Now you might be wonding where Im going with all of this well its quite simple most of you love to sit back and come up with great ideas and concepts for things but then NEVER do them you say oh lets stand togeather and fix this but when it comes down to it, people will look up to you as they already have and you fail them epically, how so? Just by making your self serving posts here in the forums youve failed them as that means you talking about fixing things rather then doing it. We have the tools already to do any of the given suggestions here and we dont need mur to code anything for it to happen. Yrth suggested a PAL well its really easy to set something like that up, hell Ive being doing my own personal one since ive started playing MD watching people and recoding their actions its usually how I end up choosing people to come and work on project with me to actually have something happen in md. For a PAL to work just get a few freaking people in on it and put it up on a RPC item and there you go! Oh I cant do this I cant do that, let me put it in very simple terms for all of you, Ive managed of all freaking people to cause and generate more things happening in md than some of the past would be RPCs for quite some time with little to NO TOOLS, if I can do it then anyone can. It is better to ask forgiveness than permission. [/Rant] P.S. - You all suck

Ive been asked to comment here, so here it is. Pecking Order If you do not understand the simplistic significance of these two words then perhaps you should simply stop what your doing and go find a dictionary then go drown in a fire. (PS: 10 points to everyone who misinterprets this )

In no particular order: Each person here I have greatly admired for their various qualities, I don't really care if you don't agree or think is me just trying to make fun of this but these are some of the people I have come to genuinely admire from MD.. Sostef Ailith Khalazdad MRD Jester There are many others I should mention, most of you know who you are, well except Grido, he just plain sucks

Just to clarify, the participants can use spells? And if so are they limited to only using them match per match basis or can they aid in a match they are not in so long as they are a valid non eliminated participant?

[b]The Spectral Shard Abilities: [/b]Whom ever posses this blade suffers -200 to Briskness, but will gain the capacity to inflict minor skill damage[b]. Corrorded Guantlet Abilities: [/b]Daily Event; Drains -1 to all stats on the owner of item, gives X amount for charges of givevital (renewable). [b] A Dusty Black Tome Abilities: [/b]Requires 3 "key items" (one use items that vanish after use) to be made of actual use to its owner. Upon being unlocked gives X charges of random spell to holder upon being unlocked (spell random pool to be based on personal principals of item holder) Every time item changes owner it must unlocked again. [i] Note: I commissioned and created the Corrorded Gauntlet knowing a purpose for it, although I currently do not hold it on my person.[/i] As for the Dusty Black Tome idea, this is just a basic for now I can go into more details of its full design if needed but if done here it would be a notoriously long winded post possibly lead to people creating alts geared to having specific principals only for the sake of min/maxing this system.

Clearly they all just simply need to get back in the kitchen, or perhaps get to knitting sweaters... Anyone else find it odd that only men are the ones crafting anything in MD? Or perhaps there needs to be prevalent RP sexism in MD for the sisterhood to really shine... Without friction there is no purpose, either you act to create it or react to others... Just my two cents... Or heres a suggestion given light of the recent restrictions to RP "affection" get in contact with one of the religious groups in MD and have they take a strong stance against anything remotely related to premarital action or whatever it may be you want them to Taboo, there really isnt much limitation to what can be done with this and then you could use the sexism aspect as they will only target women and then perhaps the sisterhood could have an actual purpose working in and out of alliances protecting these targeted and defending their rights and images.. There are no saints if there are no sinners..

I suggest you read this... http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/5031-seals-of-six/page__view__findpost__p__41138 But also, there have been many ideas in regards to this, if you wish to start something do not seek permission to do so, merely do it, do not ask for ideas, embrace your own and find others like minded to pursue such ideas or ideals as it were, but then again there are already too many groups in MD, with little variation to them all focused and geared towards empowerment of their particular group focused through singular entities. Decide first who you are and what you want before trying to get a group together of lost people, with no purpose or substance all that is left are stat grinders. And if all you want is comradery, then join one of the existing alliances. But thats just my opinion...

With his forces intact he will dispute the mastery of the Empire, and thus, without losing a man, his triumph will be complete. This is the method of attacking by stratagem.

I used all my free gifts last year but I got a shop reset, since then so I believe that might be why I now have the free gifts again... But then again I'm drunk

When theres a new Canadian player and you get over 7 people asking (accusing) if thats your alt

Nice move Lib, but now you will see what happens as a result, anything that can be done within the bounds of player is acceptable, prepare for the consequences. I play nice fitting with MD and keeping things running from behind the scenes never intentionally damaging things, I've always taken steps to ensure things are ok and acceptable before hand in preforming an action which could be potentially damaging to MD. Such an action is quite an admeriable feat, if it was done under interesting circumstances but it wasn't thus I am not amused. Enjoy what little you have left.
