[quote name='Phantom Orchid' date='17 January 2010 - 03:01 AM' timestamp='1263718892' post='52863'] I echo these remarks. Furthermore, as non-citizens of each land can obtain torches, I'm afraid this 'contest' does not reflect each land as it might. And finally, how can this contest be so heavily weighed when it is so easily, and effectually, exploitable? [/quote] I carried a torch for Loreroot out of duty for Firsanthalas, as I am a Full moon knight. I do not enjoy this contest, I do not see a point in it in all honestly.

Create a character, work on developing the character's persona. Gather creatures and build up your profile based on the character you play, then try to find an alliance to join. Make plenty of friends along the way and gather as much info about the game as you can, many things will aid you including your creatures.

I do not claim to like Dst's view on this or the way she handles things, nor do I claim to particularly care for how she "hunts people" in the game. (Pardon me, but that isn't playing a role.) So far, all I see is Dst trying to drive people she personally dislikes out of the game. Especially people she openly dislikes. I will not argue that she has done good things for the game [i]before[/i] but I am tired of these kinds of things happening and I'm even more tired of not being able to enjoy a game because of certain people that are sad enough to hunt others who want nothing, absolutely [b]nothing[/b] to do with them. We were polite when she walked in on us, we cleared the chat and asked if there was anything we could do for her, and for whatever reason that gave her the incentive to invade our privacy by pulling the log of what was cleared in the chat and then, not only that, but making rude comments in the mood panel about it? That is immature and childish on more levels than I can express. What did she continue to do? She continued to return to the Tower and pull the logs, even logs of cleared chat that had nothing but innocent mushy junk in them. What do we get when we express dislike over this sort of treatment? We get told, "If you don't like it, leave." To tell another person to leave the game because of harassment is wrong on more levels than you know, and in most games the person DOING the harassment would have been banned a long time ago. As I have said before, she is a woman with a grudge who is more than a little openly selfish and I want nothing to do with a person with such obviously skewed morals. I play the game for only one reason now, and that reason is not nor will ever be for Dst.

bump.

Thank you Ailith. I have noticed something about the Torch Competition, its incredibly stale due to the lack of participation, not to mention.. What do the weaker players of the lands get to do during it? Sit by and stare while everyone else goes out and attempts to gain points? Maybe it should be more involved so players who are not quite so good at fighting aren't left out.

I am looking to buy a Rustgold Drachorn for silver/gold. No age or tokens required, it could even be a newly bought Rustgold. Comment here or PM me in game/on the forums if you are selling.

Congrats RJ!! I'm really happy for you!

I like it so far, I hope no one finds some kind of crazy bug!

Asterdai's first draft - XD You made me giggle because you were giggling. Totenkopf - "Those...ball thingies." xD I liked yours, the lyrics were creative and funny. Sagewoman and Windy - ....golden bursts. *cough* >.> I am Bored - Now, at first you sound like you should be hosting a Christmas special and the singing was fun! Dante Falcon - It isn't so bad! Besides, I bet you secretly had fun with the project. MasterB - AAAHHH! Its going to eat me! Yoshi - Smile! Dang it, smile! SMMMIIIILLLEE. Shadowseeker - I liked the accent.

I personally like the idea of a new creature or a new aura set on a creature. It could be creative for roleplay purposes as well.. Think "Drachorn Hunter". Rituals with multiple creatures tend to be quite powerful too, I do know that a regular blood pact ritual with one archer at it's head can do about 18-20,000 damage each hit. It doesn't measure up to a drachorn ritual which I have seen do 50,000 damage per hit even without tokens... but I do believe there are some ways to beat drachorn rituals, though I also agree that they are quite over powered and do not have a specific weakness to them. I have beaten a drachorn ritual before, only to have the person attack me and hit the same ritual I attacked them with and receive a sheath balance. *shrug*

Because I was not able to record the Service while it was going on, here are the words spoken during the service. Thank you, Tarquinus for helping me with this and thank you again to everyone who was able to attend. [b]Spoken by Priestess Amoran:[/b] "The axis has shifted." "The world is returned unto balance." "Look to the skies." "Give thanks for Her return." "Great Goddess, the Children of the Eclipse welcome thee." [b]Spoken by Lucius Tarquinus:[/b] "Friends, moon-worshippers, seekers, welcome. This is a "red" worship service of the Children of the Eclipse in honor of our tripartite Goddess. As in the days of old, we offer blood to Her: but in the realm of MagicDuel, we offer not the blood of animals, but of ourselves. Dueling - battle - is not only permitted at this service but encouraged. If you seek a peaceful form of worship, go elsewhere! Yet all are welcome among us, faithful and unfaithful alike. We ask only that fighting be conducted in silence, and personal communication handled through the passing of personal messages, while the service lasts." [b]Spoken by Priestess Amoran:[/b] "O friend and companion of night, Thou who rejoicest in the baying of dogs and spilt blood, Who wand'rest in the midst of shades among the tombs, Who longest for blood and bringest terror to mortals, Gorgo, Mormo, thousand-faced moon, look favorably on our sacrifices!" [b]Spoken by fellow Eclipse members/ Lucius Tarquinus:[/b] "Amen" [b]Spoken by Lucius Tarquinus:[/b] "Hear now the words of Amoran Kalamanira Kol, Twilight Nymph of the Oak Fort and the Accursed Growth:" [b]Spoken by Priestess Amoran:[/b] "Who does not know the cycle of the moon? We carve the year by her life and death. Woman bleeds at the beckoning of the Lady of Night. Life gives blood; blood gives life; life dies, and like the moon, in death is life renewed. Who will shout of the death of this Realm? Who will herald the end of times? Heed my words: the end of one age proclaims the beginning of another. Do not mourn the passage of life. Honor it. Live fiercely, and die without fear. Pay no heed to those who say, the Realm is not what it once was. Is a woman what she was as a child? She is not, and though age must scar her, it will first confer upon her beauty even the gods will envy and pursue. Is a crone what she was as a maid? She is not, but wisdom is hers, and with her resides knowledge of the laws of time and the gods. It is she who whispers to the babe she dandles on her knee, she who teaches of pain and joy, of light and darkness, of the hunter and the hunted. As the moon draws the tide, the Realm has drawn us hence. Do you weep for the ebb of the tide? Listen, then, for the roar of its return. Draw strength from those around you, for strength you will need when the flame of war screams anew through this world. Kneel at the feet of crones and heed their words, for their wisdom can make you powerful. Join the hunt, but honor your prey, keeping in mind the time when you shall be the hunted. Learn from the crone's loss and the maid's joy. Be fierce, noble, and proud, for without you this world is lifeless and empty out of season. And remember even lifeless worlds may once again burst into Spring. A circle neither ends nor begins. Take your place on the holy cycle, and if you must look away from this moment, see the one ahead as clearly as you see the one behind." [b]Spoken by Priestess Amoran:[/b] "Hail, Huntress Moon, stalker of the night sky! As it was, is, and shall be, That you live, we die. That we live, so dies our quarry. In the spilling of blood, we honor life to us given. Draw us to our prey, Huntress Moon, And guide us to give him a noble death And teach us to honor him." [b]Spoken by those present/Lucius Tarquinus:[/b] "Hail, Huntress Moon" [b]Spoken by Priestess Amoran:[/b] "Children of the Eclipse and people of the Realm: the Goddess has heard your prayers. Go now in ferocity and cunning, in stealth and in silence, and find victory."

Happy Birthday Nelya! You are greatly missed!

Come with an open mind and an ear ready to listen.

I will most certainly attend, Pample.

Glad to know that we have our resident dwarf back.

There will be a [color="#8B0000"][size="3"][u]Red Service[/u][/size][/color] held tomorrow at [b]22:00 server time[/b] at [color="#006400"][size="3"][b]Maple Road[/b][/size][/color]. Another will be held at [b]5:00 server time[/b] for those who cannot attend the first. [i][The location of the second service may be moved to another location, different than the first. We shall see how the first plays out.][/i] Come prepared to give blood in honor of the Moon. Set defenses and attack savagely. Destruction of rituals is encouraged!

Happy Birthday Blackwood!

Happy Birthday chick! I hope your havin' a good one.

I just figured that someone should make this topic. Happy Birthday Glor! Though your probably not around to catch this, I hope things are well!

I'm glad the issue has been resolved, thanks Mya.

Redneck, I am to understand that you as a player are very young. I recall you having issues with your scanner but that being the case, you should not have accepted such a task of producing the artwork that was requested nor payment for it. I do not think you are entirely a bad person, but I am aware that everyone tries to get away with something at some point in their lives. If you had been paid in an item and found that you could not do the artwork that was requested because of varying circumstances, you should have spoken to Sparrhawk about it sooner rather than remaining silent about it until I offered Sparrhawk and Mya to do some of the artwork. I most certainly do not mind doing the art for the Lorerootian trophies, but given your past history in the Artisans and had I realized that you were the person Sparrhawk had hired, I would have warned him against it sooner. The very least you should do is try to find Lazarus and speak to him about the item, or compensate in another way because whether it is intended or not the drachorn scales that were traded away are at this point considered stolen. Sadly I do not know what the value of drachorn scales are, but I would imagine that they are considered a rare item.

Happy Birthday DeathRay! and for humor's sake.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc9diTL9RZU[/media] The song is called, "Happy Birthday Death Day" Note: This is entirely for humor's sake, not to offend.
