    Your argument is based on the idea that this new account is actually a new player. That is not the case.

    This new "character," if it can even be called that, is simply another alternate for an established player. There will be no "deciding;" all the choices a new character would normally make were settled on long before this account was created.

    Your argument would make sense if this had been the actual child of two people. However, this is little more than yet another example of the extremely poor quality of role playing that has permeated MagicDuel. A character conceives a "child," but the player portrays this “child” as being nearly identical to the character who is supposed to be the parent.
    The tradition of starting "children alternates," used by the same players who are supposed to be the parents, was a trend I had hoped to see the demise of, yet this is just more ammunition to be used by those who believe that role playing has no place in this game.


    If this is what role playing is turning into, and it pains me to say this, then they are correct.

    Yes, Dariea is an alternate. However, she will be an character unto herself and will be not portrayed as the main player. Falen Angel is also my alternate character and at no time does she act like an extension of Sagewoman. Dariea is not a citizen of Loreroot nor will she be of any other land for that matter. The Dariea account has yet to interact with anyone else save my own self role play with her as an infant. That is coming to an abrupt halt as of now. The mp3 account will begin to play and develop on it's own. Battling it's own fights and collecting it's own friends and followings. Don't like it? Battle or walk away. There is always a choice.

    For other potential candidates who are interested in joining GOTR, it is good that the candidate is a strong individual.

    But joining GOTR means you will be part of the Guardians family.

    Caring what other GOTR says or thinks about you is important.

    GOTR does not require grovelling or apple polishing.

    We seek in individuals who can reflect the spirit of GOTR.

    We want individuals who can carry the principles of GOTR.

    We want an individual who is not afraid of being in a team.

    GOTR is not just an alliance, we are also a family who cares for each other.

    Oh nicely said, CrazyMike. That is so true.

    Seems that my application was never even looked at...I really am a shadow :)
    [/quote]


    It was a very long time ago when you put your application in to the GOTR. I don't remember you ever following up on it or talking to anyone of us about wanting to join. Then too, you seem to have left the realm of Magic Duel.

    If you are serious about wanting to join, you need to reapply stating why you want to be a member of the Guardians of the Root. King Firsanthalas will contact you then.

  5. Surprise! Surprise! I too, voted no in this poll. I am a role player, and while I can fight, I do not do so very well. However, I feel I must speak on behalf of the Fighters who do fight well.

    It seems to me that those battling to get Heads already utilize the Friend card and get their Heads quite easily. As others have stated before me, the Head Contest is about fighting and using your creatures strategically. While this is merely experimental in the Boss Head Contest, I see no reason why it should be brought to the main land if it proves successful. Just because something works does not mean it should be used. The Head Contest is Unfair. Let it also not become a joke to the general population of Magic Duel

    I have been looking to buy/create new musical items. I cannot seem to buy them nor the items required, so I have an offer.
    Who ever can gain me* [s]five musical items[/s] shall be awarded with a tokened drachorn. Only ONE person can win this prize so if you want it I would hurry!!
    This offer will only be up for one week, if no one is interested or comes to me with the items then I shall stop this "quest"

    If you have the items then please pm me via forum or game.

    Thankyou!

    ~Sasha Lilias~

    P.s If two people have five musical items then I will decides which ones I prefer. The person who owns the most I like will gain the drachorn.

    P.p.s I know that there may not be five musical items in MD, so whoever finds me the most will gain the drachorn.


    [size="1"]"Challenge of Dispair®" Disclaimer: "Challange of Dispair"® is a registered trademark of Wookie and Light inc."[/size] :D

    IMPORTANT UPDATE!

    I am changing the requirements to *2 musical items and 4 stones/gems.There must be at least two different types of gems/stones.

    Thankyou :)

    Uh..since when does a WP have a time limit?

    I even went and checked what you just said.

    [2009-11-10 16:58:10 - Alpha 9]
    Credit and Wishpoint codes do not have endless valability. You should use them eventualy or they might get used by someone else. Imagine i have like a pool of codes i give out from, if they do not get used they will eventualy popup in my list and they will be given to someone else. I am talking about a validity of a few days to a few weeks, but not endless. Once activated, wishpoint codes will enable you to reward that amount of wishpoints indefenetly, but as a code, they should not be kept for too long. As an example, i am not starting to reuse codes not activated during the festival.

    Essentially, the WP code expires. Once you used it the WPs on your account don't- simply because giving a WP because "I had no other reason as to why I should award someone" was to be prevented.

    Yes, yours to give away..but not simply because you had nobody else to give it to.
    [/quote]



    ...but as a code, they should not be kept for too long. To my way of thinking, this meant a time limit.
    I will not defend myself further. What was done in the past STAYS in the past. I am with Amoran on her suggestion that this topic be CLOSED.

    Well then let me be specific I'm looking for ways to get people interested in the different lands and i figure by having them find out different things from the rulers and perhaps the alliances later on then they can get a better grasp of what joining a land is all about but I am in need of information on things they could go looking for specifically please pm me here or in game if you have any suggestions

    edit: I'm also looking for ways to encourage communication between players

    You have an good start for an idea of a Quest. Listen to what Yrthillian has told you. The Kings are: Firsanthalas, Yrthillian, Lifeline and Jester. Use the Forum private messages if you cannot find them in the Realm. The Mood Panel is a great way to get someones attention as it a very popular place to post.However, with you being still to young, you will have to wait. Another idea is to incorporate the Forum profiles so that participants in the quest have to become familiar with it. Most information on the lands are there in the About sections.

    I wish you good luck. Research, interview and take your time in making your quest and it should be a good one.

    Well, I was around when Sage did that..and told her she shouldn't do it imo. She did it.

    Let's hear her response though.
    [/quote]


    It's very simple. Mur put a time limit on the WP. I never had a wish point to give out before and I am not creative when it comes to Quests. Kamisha impressed me with his tenacity and even though the odds were stacked against him he TRIED to do something. Nothing I could see around me at that time period was worthy of the WP and it would have been taken away when the time was up. The WP was MINE to give away. I will not be second guessed or derided for my choice. And if the decision is made to take it away from Kamisha, let it be from Mur. In my opinion, it is will be a injustice to take it away as it was given during a Festival and done in the spirit of the Time.

    [font="Franklin Gothic Medium"]About me, im a Therian[/font][/size][/font][font="Franklin Gothic Medium"][size="3"] - a progeny of the spirit of the forest and of man. my ancestral blood is as deep as the roots of the ancient forest. [/size][/font][font="Franklin Gothic Medium"][size="3"]since becoming a Guardian, i learned to quell the warrior's rage in me and dont mind if someone ruffles my fur, if not too often. ;)

    Aside from becoming a decorated christmas tree (an unwitting victim) during last Christmas, i dont know what other 'talents' i can showcase. if falling off Ravenhold and landing a hundred feet below unto unlucky branches with nothing more than scores of scars and walking it off can be considered talent. :P[/size][/font][font="Franklin Gothic Medium"][size="3"]
    I am currently, unlearning my old ways and learning new things in the art of shamanism. im in the process of trading my double axe with a root staff. (but just incase, i keep those sharp blades handy). i have no title to speak of except those old ones from my origin, however, i am working on a current title, that being [u]Grove Keeper[/u][sup]TM[/sup] of Loreroot (makes sense putting it here for the record just in case someone steals the idea :D)

    i am now training at ggg and working on my papers continually.[/size][/font][font="Franklin Gothic Medium"][size="3"] and looking forward to getting to know more of my brother Lorerootians and other furry kins![/size][/font]
    [/quote]


    I think Grove Keeper is a great title and role. Forests need to be culled of the dead wood. Otherwise trails become congested. You can also be the one who keeps the Inn's fireplace stocked with wood and the one to make bonfires for night gatherings. Keep your ax though. Your warrior tendencies will be needed at times of crisis.

    My name is Fenrir Greycloth, and I am an Archaeologist stuck in the body of a Wooden Golem.
    [/quote]


    Poor Fenrir. How did you get stuck in the Golems body anyway? Btw, you are not a Guardian of the Root. Please refrain from posting as one.

  12. [size="5"]As an Alliance, we have become mute here in the Forum as well in our own Alliance page and I wish to correct that.I also see only a handful of the same people in Loreroot. Have we forgotten that we are Citizens as well as Guardians?

    All members are requested to post here. Name, rank, and where do you go and what if any quest you are attempting. I will start off.


    My name is Sagewoman. I am Elder of Loreroot. I can be found performing as Hostess of the Root of the Matter Inn within the Defense Quarters and my duties as a Live Help Operator in the Paper Cabin. Since becoming Mp6 I have been actively seeking and assisting those who need Healing. GGG is no longer fruitful for me because I can only attack Mp5's who are in Alliances.I have been role playing being pregnant with Phantasm's child who is due to be "born" [i]Somewhere[/i] in June.[/size]

    I would like to consider myself out of the group of the few, please. If speaking up my mind and commenting something that others asked for opinions, then I will keep my mouth shut from now on and keep my thoughts and ideas to myself.

    Did I ever say that I do not want the AL to continue? Quote me and show it to me if I ever used those words. The AL can continue yes, not written by us yes. I do too want to see the end of this story but I would also like to remember to all those who forget what other stories took part while this chapter was on hold. That is all.

    And one more thing. I never considered the AL to be something rewarding. But it is something that influences others.

    My comment was not directed at you personally. I apologize if you think so. I merely was commenting the same as I talk in real life.

  14. My Fellow Live Help Operators....and Grido X D


    Please let players know who send you Help Requests the following:

    Do not go through the Maze in the MDA Lands to GG. It is closed from the inside. Those who have spells of transportation have limited casts and they are tired of rescuing players who do go there.

    It is my own opinion that if GG is closed then one of the following would make sense:

    a. Close the Exit at Mt Kelletha so at least the maze is still open.
    b. Give the LHO a 50 cast spell to get players out
    c. Close the Maze (last resort)
    d. Post a Warning that GG is closed at the Maze Exit and that if they go in, they are stuck and will be rescued in due time.

    Any other ideas I ask you to share here in this topic.

    Did you check your magic scroll? >>
    [/quote]


    The Scroll no longer shows that I need X amount of xp. As Grido reminded me, my count show me at 23 active adepts while I count 45 active Adepts. It still has not changed. Thank you Grido. Peace mentioned that once the adepts were counted, I would automatically become an Mp6, not have to click a tab.

    Any other ideas out there?

    Edit: It is now morning and my counter is still sitting at 23 adepts when I have over 40 active adepts. Would it be possible that the Head Contest is interferring with my leveling up? I am running out of ideas.

  16. Yesterday morning I got well over the required 28 mil xp and over the 35 adepts to become an Mp6. I was spoke to both Grido and Peace and got two different times when the adepts were to be counted. Both times have passed and I am still a Mp5. Is there a possible bug? Please advise. I had popcorn and boose ready to celebrate with and both are stale now. X D

  17. There is nothing I hate worse than picking up a book and reading it only to misplacing it. It would always be in the back of my mind, "What did Handy do?". Thats like reading a story only to find that someone tore out the last chapter so your stuck asking questions!

    Mur, I implore you not to let the few motivate you to do nothing when the majority of us want the AL to continue. I had FUN creating a sentence with the few characters you allowed as both Sage and Falen Angel. It was like the old summer fireside story time. Each person adds a line to a story making it different each time!

  18. I'll give it a try.

    "It's not the Ap that make your feet weary. It's the Remains of your opponents in your shoes." Me

    "I'll choose the lesser of two Evils." Me

    "You can't please anyone all the time. And sometimes you can please Everyone most of the time. But Noone can't please someone at all!" Me

    Real Life Quote Challenge: See if you can adapt this to Magic Duel.

    "A bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush."

  19. 1. Get a notebook with subject dividers.You can Lable each for things important to you. Like Rituals, Names and Flags, Lands, etc, etc.
    2. Once you learn something, write down the steps. For example, the Beserker Puzzle.Keep it to yourself. No spoilers! You will need that information. Trust me.
    3. Go to the Archives and get your About Me Scroll and Hate Scroll from the Librarian in the Index Room of Memories in the Archives. That would be the MDA Lands.
    4. Ask questions and use the Live Help Button for Accurate information.
    5. It doesn't matter if the character is a wolf, a vampire or an intellectual snob. They are still people behind the screen with feelings so becareful what you say in game or in Yahoo messenger or MSN.
    6. When you are wrong, admit your error.
    7. Learn who the mods are. Be nice but don't kiss ass. You don't know where it's been! X D
    8. Pay attention to names with Astricks, these are the Live Help Operators. For example: *Princ Rhaegar*, *Burns*, *Sagewoman*
    9. Learn to read your map and if you need to, get graft paper ande make your own map.

    and finally

    10. When Mur, the Creator of Magic Duel, makes those announcements in-game or in the [announcements] at the top of the screen. READ THEM!

    AFAIK, the one on the shop was the back entrance access (key_variable), I believe the spell mentioned is a different on (castable one).
    [/quote]


    I did not get this in the WP Shop. The first Festival is where Mur gave me the spell as a Gift that I asked for. I have Open-Lore and Close_Lore (this one I have never used ever).
    Like I said previously, anyone with me can enter after I cast the spell. I am the only one who can't enter. Would it be because of the symbols of Astricks in my name?

    I don't have to enter names when I use the spell. I just do the spell and the chimes go off and the gold dust appears *coughs* and then the path usually lights up to be clicked on. I have used the F5 key and it does not help.

    I hope this clears things up.

    Just curious, who's getting the silver? The lunchbox owners, or you?
    [/quote]

    The Sister who made the lunchs get the silver coins. However, in the interest of helping with Magic Duel events, each Sister will keep some of the Silver to donate to a worthy cause. At one time, coins could be donated to the MDN and the now defunct Artist Guild. Windy will be looking for causes that the Sisterhood can donate to.
