I LOVE crafts! When I was little I would make clocks and books and knitted knee socks. But now I just make mosaics and jewelry, although sewing and gardening aren't really crafts, more like skills. I just made these really cool throw pillows out of vintage tablecloths and gave them to a friend for her birthday. I also made a lamp out of a blow torch and another one from a vintage camera! I want to do something with these old glass buoys I found in an antique shop at the beach, but I can't figure out what yet. I love the knitted bag, lepus!

The five MP6's we have currently in place are a responsible bunch (I'm including you, Grido). I don't see this issue as much of a problem, as I do not feel alts/adepts are being abused. I have some alts as adepts, but who doesn't? Alts are a part of life in MD, which is not to suggest that we just have to deal with them, but, to my knowledge, no one has exploited alts/adepts to reach MP6. If this was such an issue, wouldn't there be tons of MP6 protectors running around? I understand that just because something has not happened in the past does not mean it will not happen in the future, but this whole issue seems a bit nit-picky. It is very difficult to maintain MP6, although less difficult to attain. It takes constant vigilance to stay a Protector, as Grido proved: [quote name='Grido' date='12 July 2010 - 10:09 PM' timestamp='1278986948' post='63850'] -On a side note, i just lost MP6 myself due to not paying enough attention on getting actual adepts myself [/quote] This vigilance comes in the form of a sort of constant state of recruitment. I cannot speak for the other Protectors, but I am always on the lookout for people to help and mentor. This is something I enjoy, which is, I think the reason most of us are MP6. So while I may have alts as adepts, the vast, vast, vast majority of my adepts are people who are new to MD or people who are Necrovians. So while alts/adepts factor into my count, I don't think any of us rely on: [quote name='Grido' date='12 July 2010 - 11:34 PM' timestamp='1278992077' post='63853']asking some friends to log in their alts for the week. [/quote] MP6 is difficult; it requires dedication, perseverance and overall, a desire to put others before yourself. You are right, it is not for everyone, but I hold fast to the belief this issue you have pointed out is really much ado about nothing.

So you made a whole bunch of your alts the adepts of Granos to prove a point? Why don't you just come out and say what the point of your actions are rather than making a big show of it. You are clearly trying to force the powers that be to make a change to the rules, much like Granos did when he cheated whateverhisname was of a creature. What rules do you wish to see changed, then? Something about alts or something about adepts?

They look really great; you have an incredible eye for symmetry. I like the smirk on "Jester" and the way the Spartans fan out. These would make great avatars.

So you can't attack anyone at all, then? No MP6's or anyone else?

Apparently not. But I thought that once Mp6's were deemed attackable, that they were all up for attacks, not just the allied ones.

I activated my Necrovion Pass Papers about an hour before the crash and when MD was restored the trigger no longer showed and I had my armor back. However, there is still a cool down timer in the inventory. Attached is the screenshot of the trigger box and my inventory and armor. [attachment=1821:SS trigger box.tiff] [attachment=1820:ss inventory box.tiff] [b]Edit:[/b] Also, just noticed that as an Mp6 in an alliance, I cannot attack Mp6's who are not in an alliance. Not sure if this is a bug, but I didn't know where else to put this.

I have always thought of the tiny Angien as a totem. A sign of sorts, like "Abandon lightness all ye that enter" or "Please leave your conscience at with the coat check girl and don't forget a ticket" Most of you are theorizing that it has to do with balance, but I think of it more as a warning, a touchstone of sorts for those who enter to remember the small part of them that was lightness and goodness, and to either protect it or abandon it when passing through the Gates.

I would politely inform them of the rules first, if you have not done so already and then if they do not stop, report it to one of the staff members. I think Shadowseeker, Mya Celestia and Darigan are all fairly active there.

Are they attacking you while you are at the Sparring Grounds, or just roaming elsewhere?

I [i]love[/i] Pam from True Blood. She's so bitchy. And I've recently discovered Netflix instant queue, so I've been watching Buffy re-runs for a while. It's such a good show, the dialogue is so witty and clever.

[quote name='Firsanthalas' date='24 June 2010 - 06:47 AM' timestamp='1277376429' post='62564'] Lets face it. Muffins are much more fun, bigger and tasty. And you can put things in them, like whole cherries or big pieces of chocolate, or little pieces or soft centers. You can even cover them with icing! [/quote] I'll have you know I put things in my cupcakes, too. Like...a stick of butter and mini candy bars. If I am going to eat something unhealthy, it is going to be [b]really[/b] unhealthy. Muffins are just candy masquerading as health food. Cupcakes pull no punches. And so the debate rages on.

[b][center][color="#FF00FF"][size="7"]Happy Birthday![/size][/color][/center][/b]

Cupcakes are, by far, the superior confection. In fact, I don't even know if you could call a muffin "a confection" as they are dry, tasteless and boring, just like those that make them.

Happy Birthday, Thirsty Firsty.

Feedback: Cons: Confusing! I wasn't sure where to go or what to do. Kill Grido? Stalk and kill other teams? Stay and defend the gates? I would have liked a bit more direction. Also, was there supposed to be a specific outcome? Or just a crazy, fish-throwing, flute-stealing, mud covered free for all. Pros: Fun, despite having to fight with creatures I had recruited only moments before the fight. Looking forward to today.(Edit: Atlas pointed out that the 24th is a day of tranquility, so...how we gonna fight?)

Yoshi. Edited for spelling.

Pazur is a Tainted Warrior.

Caveat Emptor: The room is not soundproof. Earfocus and Acoustic Remains can be used to see within the walls. I never said I wanted the to be in charge of the keys, and as a matter of fact, I do not want that responsibility. I resent the implication that if I were to be granted such a responsibility, I would abuse it. Elthen was paid three silver, as per his rules, and has multiple messages waiting in his inbox from me inquiring to his whereabouts. I do not think Dst should hold the keys. Here are some suggestions off the top of my head: Assira the Black, Sephira, Adiomino, Kyphis, Awiiya, Pazur, Lightsage, Aysun Edit: Yes, Dusty, I think Yoshi is a good nomination as well.

I'm not going to argue semantics or deconstruct posts here, but I do wish to clarify just a few points that I believe might not be completely clear. [u]Dusty:[/u] Yes, I do believe there should be consequences. As I have stated previously, with action comes responsibility. As I have stated previously, I take responsibly. What does that mean? Well, nothing really. I can take responsibility all I want, but if there are no consequence it's just words. I think that items like this should come with a huge penalty for using them and you are all correct when you say that there are none (however this is a Mur scripted item, not a player scripted one). Tactics like the "murder" should have drastic outcomes and should not be taken lightly, and, again this is part of my point. [u]Firs:[/u] "Perhaps had you spoken to Jester about it beforehand, that could have been avoided." How do you know that I did not? The Knife cannot be transferred to anyone else, so there is no way "possible that it could end up in somebody elses hands." Also, I had no knowledge of a revive spell, or knowledge of anyone who might. I did know that on the 8th she would be resurrected, but I never willingly kept information about that a secret. "Regardless, the item is there and it seems that there are no consequences for using it. That, surely has to be a cause for concern?" YES! Be concerned, I was beginning to worry because everyone was so [b]unconcerned![/b] I look forward to what will happen.

I think "lackey" is an incorrect term. Without his efforts, this event would have fallen flat on its face, which perhaps is what some would have preferred. His energy, charisma, nerve and unshakable elegance are a consistent inspiration to me. I am no organizer, no planner; I just wing things most of the time. It was because of him that this was such an interesting event and dare I say, a success.

Everyone seems to think that this whole thing was scripted and planned out, play-by-play from the beginning. It wasn't. Mya was killed and then people reacted as they saw fit; the major planning was in the battles, not the actions and re-actions of other people. Some reactions were awesome (Lightsage) some, sort of disappointing. I was the one who chose Mya as the victim and I was the one who chose [b]not[/b] to ask for her permission. She was the most interesting person to have killed; she is not boring and flat, she is well loved, a prominent member of Loreroot and grown up and strong enough to deal with something of this nature. I never assumed she would be ok with it, it just happened to work out that she was gracious enough to play along, and for that I do thank her. I chose the moment on purpose, first because it was the wedding night and second, because it was close to the torch competition beginning. I knew she would be revived on the 8th, regardless of what happened. So, her death was [b]never[/b] permanent and I told her what she had to do to come alive again. [u]Z:[/u] Yes, the captivity was a farce, and I hoped for some more action, perhaps even a trip to jail. That, at least would have been sort of even. Death was forced on someone, so prison should be forced on the guilty ones. At least, that's the way it works in society, but we all know MD has its own set of mores. [u]Dusty:[/u] I was looking forward to some antics from you, but alas, no antics. You are not as much of an outsider as I think you would like to be, and I know that you are not easy "shut up". I hoped you would be a part of this, but instead you chose to pretend to be affected by some perceived negativity over your first post (I was happy to see a strong showing from you with that post) when we all know that if you wanted to, you would have been a major force. You cast yourself as a villain, but I know your dirty little secret, you are actually a nice person. [u]Firs:[/u] Again, she would have been revived on the 8th regardless of a "flaming forum war." It was not her willingness to play along that led to her being revived "at the earliest opportunity" and in fact, did you not have a hand in reviving her due to a suggestion that I made? [u]Moving away from the asking permission aspect of things:[/u] It is a slippery slope to argue that because I had Mya killed and did not ask for permission, that all of a sudden people will go around scripting items and killing willy-nilly or that an item will be created that can steal or kill a purchased creature. I know that there are people out there that would do those things, however, items like this should have a penalty and that was part of the point of this. This item was created and given out to someone deemed responsible enough to use it. To argue that in the future, incredibly powerful items will be given out to anyone to use without repercussion or consideration of abuse is just sort of silly. I am sure there will be safety measures put in place and that those examples you mention will be studiously avoided. (As far as I know, items are still in testing and some kinks are being worked out, although, I could be way off base) [u]On a sort of tangential side note:[/u] I don't know what it means to "RP" and hadn't ever played any kind of online game before MD (I was actually researching something for a paper when I stumbled on it and got hooked by the artwork and stayed because of the people.) Pample is me if I were stuck in some magic land without knowledge of things like Power Rangers or oil spills or lawn mowers. She responds to things the way I would and says the things I would say. I'm sure this violates some kind of RP rule or etiquette, but whatever. I say that because I have never understood the distinction between "playing MD" and "roleplaying MD."

WHAT?! What in the world are you trying to say. No one wants to have to decipher your post to figure out the meaning, so if you want people to listen to you, state a clear message that we can understand.

Yes, we were released after serving one night and one day in confinement. All three of us (Atlas, Keith Moon and myself) offered to fulfill our end of the bargain and serve our full sentence, as a matter of honor and as a gesture of goodwill. We were told we were too much of a headache. (Pity, I hadn't even started with the pots and pans yet.) I also made myself available for questioning but I was denied, citing too much double talk. We have made every gesture to be transparent and cooperative. I will answer some questions here, as another step towards uncovering the mystery. I gave the orders to Ivorak to murder Mya Celestia, he worked under my hand, and my hand alone. I had been plotting for some time, giving some of you clues along the way. I waited for the wedding night to give the order and Ivorak worked with deathly swiftness. I believe I have already spelled out my reasons, all you need to do is look at other parts of this topic. As for Mya's blood, the blood of an innocent, it shall be used in the future. (Although, I have been informed that her blood loses its properties after a few days, but that is not an issue for what I have planned for it.) I had every intention of serving my full sentence and was looking forward to some kind of interesting interrogation, torture, etc to get information from me. However, Loreroot was very hospitable and accommodating; we were not mistreated. Most of you who know me, know that I avoid and detest the forum, so if there are further questions on this in-game matter, well, find me in-game.
