Happy Birthday Tara! I hope you had a good one.

Speaker of the Forest, I come to you in honor of Loreroot to request citizenship. My heart and life source are of the Lorerootian lands and always shall be, may the arrows of my bow aid you well.

You have an adorable child.
Congrats!
Your time away will be missed and with hope, you will return.
Be well! -
While I have always believed that it is not okay to use racism as an excuse to do whatever the heck you want, just as I do not believe in using a character role to do as you please in any role play setting... I do not think discrimination of any kind should be tolerated but in truth there is not a lot that can be done about it. If someone offends you, use what you can to punish them and let them know it has offended you.
This is a major part of the reason I ask in my hate pages to 'watch what you say to other people' as the smallest thing could set another person off or offend them.
As Lucius said brilliantly, it falls down to a matter of courtesy towards other people and those who lack the intelligence to respect another person's race, social choice, or life choice should not be tolerated.
Edit: Read the recent announcement. -
I most certainly will keep in touch.
If I've got you on YIM, I'll be talkin' to ya. -
I have recently become quite involved with my home situation and I am currently working towards getting into college.
Real life has pulled me away from the game to an extent that all I do is idle anyway, thus I feel I should announce for those who wish to know that I may be leaving Magic Duel for a while very soon.
When I enter into college it will surely suck up a huge amount of my time, and I have an apartment change coming up that will require my attention (I will know the results of how long we have to pack tomorrow).
At this point, my leaving entirely depends on what happens in real life.
I may return, I may not, but you will find me idle every now and again.
When life calls for it, you move on lest you end up in a standstill. -
I took the liberty to record the events and happenings of the Service. Here they are.
Thank you Orchid for this wonderful service.
Phantom Orchid: Goddess of the Moon , Queen of the night; Keeper of mysteries, Mistress of the tides. You who are ever-changing and yet always constant. Guide me with your wisdom, help me grow with your knowledge,
Phantom Orchid: and hold me in your arms.
: Phantom Orchid lights a white Moon-shaped candle on the south end of the table and reflects upon recent events.
: [Spell] Lunar Introspect
: Phantom Orchid begins to stare into a bowl of water with a lump of salt beside it resting on the west end of the table. In the bowl of water are two winderwild feathers floating, slightly submerged.
Phantom Orchid: *holds the bowl of water to the sky* The moon is the symbol of the mother, watching over us each day and every night. She brings the changing tide and the shifting night, the flow that changes
Phantom Orchid: women's bodies and the passion of lovers to their beloved.
Phantom Orchid: Her wisdom is great and all-knowing / and we honor her might.
Phantom Orchid: Keep your watchful eyes upon us, great mother / until the cycle returns once more,
Phantom Orchid: And bring us to the next full moon / in your love and light.
Phantom Orchid: *picks up and places the dagger's tip in the water* I cleanse thee, O water, and bless thee in the name of the Goddess of the Moon.
Phantom Orchid: *places dagger's tip in the salt* Blessings be upon this salt, in the name of our Lady.
Phantom Orchid: *pours salt into the water and, with the dagger, stirs it around nine times. She then lowers her stone dagger into the bowl of salt-water* Let the blade join the cup in endless blessedness.
: Phantom Orchid picks up the Moon-shaped candle and uses it to ignite a candelabra
: Phantom Orchid walks over to the eastern point of the circle and begins to notice an arc of strong light emanating from the candle on the altar and attaching to the candles in her hand.
Phantom Orchid: Guardians of the East, Beholders of Air, I invite you to join me and bear witness. Welcome!
Phantom Orchid: *Kisses her Fire Orchid Pendant, then places it over her heart.* Sweet Goddess, the gentle breeze is the touch of your loving hand, the wind of storm a reminder of your strength.
Phantom Orchid: The sound of the trees in the wind is your voice, and the fragrance of flowers borne on the wind is your gift of beauty.
Phantom Orchid: *walks to the southern part of the circle* Guardians of the South, Beholders of Fire: Most loved Lady, the light of the candle is a guide along our path leading to you; its warmth the reassurance of
Phantom Orchid: your presence and your love. The light is the knowledge you impart to us, which can survive only in darkness
Phantom Orchid: *walks over to the west* Guardians of the West, Beholders of Water: Lovely One, the quiet pool is the serenity of your being. The vast sea is the sea of your being whence all life came; its waves are
Phantom Orchid: the ebb and flow of the world you rule.
Phantom Orchid: *continues on to the north* Guardians of the North, Beholders of Earth: Goddess of all, the fertility of the earth is a sign of your fertility, whence all life rose. The solidity and permanence of it
Phantom Orchid: are still less than yours. The Earth's fertility feeds our bodies, and your fertility feeds our souls.
Phantom Orchid: *kisses the dagger blade, then holds it over her heart.* Blessed Lady of the Moon, powerful Lord, I invite you to witness these rites which we hold in your honor.
: Phantom Orchid Feels the Goddess energy being drawn into herself as she slowly lowers her arms and returns the dagger to the table.
: Phantom Orchid inhales deeply the poignant fragrance of frankincense and myrrh
Phantom Orchid: *lifts her arms again, holding them out and upwards* Lady of the Moon Puller of seas. We greet your celestial jewel at the waxing of its power, with a ritual in your honor. Lady, you who are known
Phantom Orchid: many names: Aphrodite, Hecate, Diana, Isis and more.
Phantom Orchid: With your servants by your side we give you due honor and invite you to join with us here, your special time.
: Phantom Orchid picks up the dagger and points it towards the bowl on the altar, then notices the energy collecting within herself, flowing through the blade into the bowl.
Phantom Orchid: Great Goddess / Who shines for all / Who flows through all
Phantom Orchid: Light of the world which is yourself / Maiden, Mother and Crone
Phantom Orchid: We invite you to our circle / Touch us, change us, and make us whole.
Phantom Orchid: *passes her hand over the altar bowl, making circles around it - after the ninth circle, says:* I call upon thee, Great Mother of us all, bringer of all fruitfulness, by seed and root, by leaf and
Phantom Orchid: flower and fruit, in the fullness of the Moon do I invoke thee to descend upon the bodies of thy servants and priestesses.
: Phantom Orchid watches as steam begins to magically arise from the bowl; breathes deeply of the steam, then slowly exhales and sends this energy, or prana, outwards
: Phantom Orchid stands before the altar, holding a mirror facing the candles so that it reflects their flames. Keeping the mirror facing the candles, she moves clockwise, slowly, around the alter - watching the reflection bounce off her surroundings.
: Phantom Orchid Gradually increasing her gait, she invokes the Goddess
: Phantom Orchid moving faster and faster, she watches the light shattering the air, cleansing and burning away any and all dis-ease
: Phantom Orchid kneels before the altar, head bowed down. She begins to part her hair at the base of the skull.
Phantom Orchid: takes hold of a silver mirror and holds it from behind so that the Moon candle's light reflects upon the base of her skull*
: Phantom Orchid notices the Goddess emerging from behind, into her own form
: Phantom Orchid walks slowly to the center of the ritual site, near the altar. Looks out upon the crowd, envisioning moonlight blessing each and every being gathered.
: Phantom Orchid begins to breathe slowly and evenly, deep breaths that penetrate her entire body. Moonlight begins to surround her, engulfing her completely. With each exhalation of her breath, some of the essence
: Phantom Orchid of herself leaves her body, and with each inhalation, the light enters her.
Phantom Orchid: * is being filled ever so gently with this beautiful light. This light, which is the presence, the being of the Goddess, is within her as well as without. With each breath, she is no less herself and
Phantom Orchid: more the Goddess. When she is filled with light, filled with the Goddess, the shell of her body fades away.*
Phantom Orchid: * has no body; there is nothing to separate her from the entire being of the Goddess of the Moon. Nothing exists but the being of which she is apart. She has ceased to be a separate entity. She is not
Phantom Orchid: . She is nothing and everything. All that was, that is, and all that will be, she is.*
: Phantom Orchid feels the outer shell of her physical body slowly reforming, becoming solid again. It is being built out of the realm of which she is a part.
: Phantom Orchid Continues with her deep breathing, she sees the moonlight flowing out of her body, as gently and slowly as it entered. As it flows out, there is a difference.
Phantom Orchid: *has become one with the Goddess of the Moon -- her being has changed.As the moonlight flows out of her body, it takes with it a part of that which was herself, now part of the Goddess, and leaves
Phantom Orchid: behind a part of the Goddess, forever now part of her. She becomes herself again, solid, but changed. She is surrounded by the presence of the Goddess of the Moon, which now contains a part of her.*
Phantom Orchid: Great Goddess of the Lunar Light / and Mistress of the Seas
Phantom Orchid: Great Goddess of the Mystic Night / and of the Mysteries
Phantom Orchid: Within this place of candles bright / and with your mirror right
Phantom Orchid: Protect me with your awesome might!
: [Spell] Lunar Protection
: [Spell] Thurisaz gebo, gift of the hunt. - Phantom Orchid
: Phantom Orchid Begins the closing ritual by pinching out the candles one by one, starting with the east
Phantom Orchid: *Faces East, saying:* Guardians of the East, creatures of Air - I do thank you for attending these rites; Hail and farewell.
: Phantom Orchid Draws a banishing pentagram, then kisses the dagger.
: Phantom Orchid Holds dagger in front of her heart
Phantom Orchid: *repeats herself in the south end of the ritual space for the Guardians of Fire, in the west for Guardians of Water, and in the north for the Guardians of the Earth.
: Dark Mystic shifts uneasily
: Dark Mystic shifts uneasily
Phantom Orchid: *finishes, and says:* Lovely Lady, I thank you for attending these rites... All Hail!
Tarquinus: All hail.
: humble suspects Dark Mystic needs to pee
Phantom Orchid: Lady of the Night, I thank you for your presence, now and always. My love and devotion are yours. Blessings. All spirits who have joined may now depart, with my love, and return to your proper places
: Amoran K Kol smiles warmly at Orchid, her skin glowing with pale fire- illuminating the area.
Amoran K Kol: All hail.
Phantom Orchid: The circle is open, yet unbroken.
Phantom Orchid: *reaches into her robes and pulls out a sealed letter* Captain Karak has given this for me to read, it says as follows:
Phantom Orchid: The Moon has long been served by the dedicated and devout. In this realm her place is largely forgotten and many newlings walk the realm without memory of her touching our realm.
Phantom Orchid: A quest has been set forth for all knights of valour and honour to find that which has been hidden from the Sybil, the Goddess's earthly connection, the Moon Chalice.
Phantom Orchid: For the Sybil and her priestesses this chalice holds the key to greater communion with the Goddess.
Phantom Orchid: A short while ago a small portion of wine passed my lips and the Goddess took her avenue to instill in me a vision that continues to haunt me to this day.
Phantom Orchid:There was a crescent moon, a blood-soaked cloth, a dripping blade, an open grave and a stairway. And a command burned into my soul: "Find the key my faithful servant."
: Phantom Orchid looks up at the crowd, then continues
Phantom Orchid: I had begun research and found that a trail leads amongst various figures of the realm and that they are sworn to secrecy unless a particular word is spoken to them by the one fated to find the Chalice
Phantom Orchid: In a fit of the Goddess-knows-what I misplaced my initial notes in the archives and believe a current or former archivist may have scooped them up and held on to them for safe keeping.
Phantom Orchid: . I had labeled the notes: Moon Chalice and they should mention this to the holder to begin.
Phantom Orchid: Strength and honour, Karak
Phantom Orchid: Those who wish to assist us in finding the Moon Chalice, either bow or nod in front of me
: asryn nods
: Mysteria Blue nods
: Kitteh puuurs
: humble nods
Azrael Dark: sounds like a worthy venture *nods*
: Rhah de la Rey bows
: Iskra bows
: Phantom Orchid walks over and once touches the faces of each questor
asryn: May I ask...is it your intention that we all work together in pursuit of the chalice? Or that we each venture out on our own to follow where your words lead us?
Phantom Orchid: May the Goddess forever guide and protect you. You are blessed
: Kitteh leans into the touch
: Gremlin smiles warmly
: Iskra closes her eyes respectfully at the blessing
: Mysteria Blue smiles at the blessing
: Rhah de la Rey looks shaken
: Azrael Dark accepts the blessing carefully
Phantom Orchid: *bows before Dark Mystic* O Holy Sibyl, I thank thee for your presence
Dark Mystic: I thank you for your faithful service Orchid
Dark Mystic: I am honored to have you as a priestess
Phantom Orchid: We are blessed, indeed.
Gremlin: *nods and smiles warmly to Orchid* wounderful service priestess...twas quite moving
: [Spell] Days beneath a shaded willow under a clouded sky, time moves in circles.
: Phantom Orchid looks upwards as the rain falls upon her face
: Amoran K Kol smiles and closes her eyes, raising her face to the sky as the rain drenches the land.
: Iskra smiles and watches the earth soak up the tear of the sky and drench its thirst
: Kitteh tries to dodge the raindrops
: asryn watches the water soaking into the land and smiles
: Dark Mystic bows her head as the rain soaks her
: Iskra props up her Amaror's sheild for Ketteh to hide under
: Gremlin looks up to the sky deep in thought as the rain floods his body
: Azrael Dark pays no heed to the rain
: Kitteh gladly takes shelter under the shield and puurs happiliy
: Mysteria Blue relaxes in the rain -

[*][b]Tarquinus[/b]
[/list]
Though he is not applying for kingship, he has the persona and the voice of a king and thus would be my first choice were he to apply. It is sad in a way, but I understand and respect his reasons for not doing so.
[list]
[*][b]Firsanthalas[/b]
[/list]
I believe Firsanthalas has a set plan in mind for Loreroot and deeply cares about the land and those who claim the land as 'home'. I do think he would be a fair and honest king, I have read over his plan and agree with how he wishes to shape Loreroot, as well as how he wishes to create a sort of 'court' system so every person within Loreroot can be heard. It is very similar to what we tried to do with the council, but there are some definite changes.
[list]
[*][b]Princ Rhaegar [/b]
[/list]
Rhaegar has always been a part of Loreroot and wishes for Loreroot to keep to its old tradition of having a council. I know he cares about the land and it's inhabitants and believe that he would also be a good choice for king. He can be a bit harsh sometimes, but in truth- I only see that as interesting. I deeply respect the way he took charge and shaped the Savelite alliance into what it was meant and supposed to be.
There is now a strong Savelite order in Loreroot thanks to the efforts Zleiphneir, Grido, and Rhaegar.
[list]
[*][b]Gremlin[/b]
[/list]
Gremlin is a very strong spirited and passionate individual, I believe that he does want the chance to prove himself and the chance to lead and be known. But this is a very large milestone. I wish him luck.
[list]
[*][b]Sagewoman[/b]
[/list]
Again, another very passionate individual who wishes for a chance to prove themselves. She is an experienced player, a very old player but she would not be my first choice for king/queenship. I wish her luck as well.
[list]
[*][b]Kamisha[/b]
[/list]
I saw in the Defensive Quarters that Kamisha seemed to be genuine about becoming Loreroot's king. But this is a very large step from burning trees and threatening the lonely tree near the Howling Gates. Even if this one does not make it as king, I hope he or she has a chance to prove that they are sincere about caring for the Lorerootian lands.
(Edit: >.< Forgot to comment on one of the players.) -

I would like to take a moment to thank the ex-members of the Artisans Guild for their efforts, though your time in the Guild was short lived - both myself and surely Glor greatly appreciate the effort of trying to keep the guild alive.
I give a special thanks to Poppi Chulloz for sending in a batch of avatars this month alongside Glor and I am sad to say this, but I apologize to Glume as she never got the chance to send in any artwork. -
Your maturity level as well as your brain function seems to have decreased recently.
If you recall, Fenrir Greycloth was caught with stolen artwork and thus was immediately kicked from the guild.
As for the "many" artists you claim we never got to on the forum?
I approached several, none wished to join. Perhaps then that the fault of that can be left on your shoulders and your poor way of managing the game in general.
So what else do you intend to lie to your members about? First the incident with the Shades and now the management of the Artisans Guild.
So go on, make a list. What else?
What of the members of the guild such as Poppi Chulloz and Glume who are both very talented artists?
What do they get for choosing to involve themselves in drawing for your game?
If you think you can manage the guild better, go for it but so far you've just wasted a whole lot of talent away. -
Take care Fenrir and be well. Somewhere in there, despite what you let others see, I am sure you are a good guy.
-
Not too sure if it'd make a difference for me to post my horrible death up lol. And yes, Liberty killed me.

[i][font="Palatino Linotype"][size="3"]Clearly, you do not see the side of Peace or Jester or the Sentinels, nor you do understand what they really want to feed into your pity little mind.
The key in every war that is won is to see and understand the side of the opponent and their tactics/plans. You threatened them with slavery if they did not respond to your demands. You held their land as a hostage only to satisfy you thirst for power and pride, and you said you just did a lightning response, but a response for what? I did not see the Sentinels take actions yet, all they, or Jester's did is to declare war, nothing more from there. You did held the Prince of Necrovion as a hostage with no respect even if he is not one of the Sentinels anymore. You took advantage for their preparation (?) and sent your little puppies wiggling their tails on their land and even built a roof for them.
Now you are telling us that you DO understand?
It is [b]their[/b] lands and not yours, they have the right to protect it and interfere if necessary. Your highly unethical actions clearly defines the word "Warmongering" perfectly, not the Sentinels.
Respect the family and the dynasty, for even a true enemy can show [b]respect[/b], and I think you are not one of them...[/size][/font][/i]

Respect of anyone has been lost for a very long, long time. -

Fight! Fight away my tiny fire ball, stick sword wielding friend!
Hunt those wolves! -
Talking to you to see who's side you were on? You can be on your own damn side dst, I don't really care. I was stuck in the maze and needed help, and you threw a bunch of crap at me so I dealt with it. If you call that 'judging sides' then fine, I will not ask you for a simple favor ever again.
As for how I took you for a fool? Enlighten me, because seriously- you've lost me. I consider or.. did consider you to be a well spoken intelligent person, now I am not so sure.
I took you as a friend, dst. Pardon my mistake. -
Farewell Adio, you were one of the ones I unfortunately did not get to know as well as I had liked.
Be well, friend and visit sometime! -

It's fine, Manu. We understand your frustration, but trying to help her when she does not want to be helped does not help. If shencontinues on this path deal with her in a way that you feel suitable.
And I can't wait to see what you write;)
(and thanks haha)
[/quote]
Yes Fenrir, this coming from someone who tried to sucker money out of Manu and MD by sending in artwork that was not yours.
Ah yes, of course what I did was far far worse indeed. At least I drew real and physical artwork for what little "money" I earned, if you can all credits "money".
One thing is extremely clear, I am not the child in this situation and I am sick of being screwed with. -
Manu, you are pathetic. I'm going to sleep- my heath is much, much more important than you.

No Manu, because you put this up here in public to start a fight. I don't want to fight, I want things settled.

Would you like to know what I continue to encounter on this site? People who don't know what the term OOC is, or the term IC.
It means In Character and Out Of Character.
What does this tell me? It tells me that very few people on MD actually know what Roleplay is.
It is not a term to disguise manipulative BS or politics. Its a term that means to 'play a role' to 'create a character unlike yourself'.
As for your opinions on the subject, I can respect them as I can see and understand your side of the subject.
I've been role playing since I was 9 years of age and I do understand the frustrations of it and the urge to want to see original characters.
We Saw Harrasment In Pl, Now How About In Pm? Is It Okay?
