  1. Feliz cumpleaños MD! y que cumplas muchos mas :D

    It might seem odd to you but just for fun I looked all over the web for a [b]tomatoe shaped piñata[/b] to celebrate Mur's birth creation. I found pretty weird and sometimes even obcene shapes of piñatas... no tomatoes thoug.
    All I could find is this weird monster tomatoe piñata (lets call it that way) which it seams kinda cool.

    When you hit a piñata you are blinded, you have no idea where to hit but you know you have to be persistent because piñatas are filled with cool surprises. You might only feel that when you are a kid... I was lucky to get the oportunity to feel that again. :D happy b-day MD

  2. You know what could be more helpful then a translation? [b]LHO button displayed in different languages[/b]. I told Grido al long time a go about this, perhaps he remembers.
    Live help in Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, German, etc that would be cool... and also posible

    @Totenkopf
    It is quite clear to me why translations are useful. Nevertheless since I started MD there has been no translating at all, that is why I respondeded to bfh with some guessings about the reason for this.

    Many people can help in translating, the thing is that many of them are not that kind of active in the game. I think being active is an important thing, because how can I really understand what I'm talking about, if I don't have any idea of it?


    If anyone needs help with Spanish translations ask me I can help with that.

    Spanish spoken players activity is not the problem bfh. I've been here for a while, and ofered help in many ocasions as Tenoch and Kriskah.
    It was odd to me at first, but then I asumed is because people has to at least understand a bit of English to interact ingame because online chat, quests, anouncements, etc will remain in English... so what´s the point?. Considering all this, perhaps partial translations wouldn't be so useful after all.
    Dont get me wrong, I am just guessing posible reasons for this lack of interest, that's all.

  5. Yes, I notice the email sender, that is one of many reasons I didn't answer it.
    Thank you all for helping me clear this out.

    The other branch of the "who" question is who is going to draw this up? You have proposed the idea, but I read your post three times and did not see any reference to who was going to implement it, nor did I see any call for others to assist you.

    Are you asking for help, or just throwing an idea out for someone to grab?

    Well I haven't thought about it.
    ok I am asking for help.

  7. MD History map

    Since I join this community the history of MD realms has been revealed to me by pieces. I’m aware this subject is tricky and it has generated several conflicts in the past.
    Nevertheless…

    It is often said that history tells us who we are, so I believe it should be one of the first thing newcomers glimpse when they arrive.
    The linear map from the Lord of the Rings (http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/?s=lord+of+the+rings) made me think about a way which we could make past (and present) more accessible and easy for newcomers to relate and get involved.

    A multi-lines map of MD can be really interesting and could open the curiosity not only of new people but for veterans too. Each land, each event could have clicking options so people can go forward on personal inquiring and access to MD Archives or interact with veteran’s characters from each land.

    I know most ideas die here but at least this is cool way to point some things which makes us wonder.

    Saludations,

    Ps. I haven’t been playing lately, too busy in RL. But an upcoming event will soon be announced. :P

  8. I received this message at least 4 times this month. I haven't answered but now must say Im starting to have doubts.
    Have any of you got this type of message? Seem stupid to me that they cannot solve this problem without asking people their passwords. I dont know, maybe I'm wrong.
    Please tell me what you think, I have many important supscriptions linked to this mail so it would be quite complicated for me to loose it.

    Saludations,
    K



    ps: Perhaps "saludations" is not a real word. I kinda like it thoug, and I might use it some times. ;)

  9. My advise to you is that if you cannot think of a specific roll for your character, start considering the needs of the realm.
    Allmost any type of profesion could be a good idea at this moment, even better if it is something nobody does. Consider something which can be original, not so hard to perform and which also can help you interact with the community.

    Saludos,

  10. I see [b]Lei[/b] an [b]Cubics[/b] are now to be consider. (Im sorry Dst I was hoping more names would appear at the forum). I will termporarilly suspend the voting hoping the drawing will give us a bit more inspiration :rolleyes:

    More details about the flea market and the coinage experiment will soon be given.

    Regards,

  11. [b]A Flea Market for MD[/b]

    The MCo-Op first flea market event will be squeduled pretty soon.
    This post is to inform the community the characteristics of this RP event and also to announce a RP market experiment which will be conducted same day.

    The Flea market will allow MD characters to sell or to exchange roll played items, which could be common items or character related. Items sold can (or maybe should) be old and should also tell a story about its former use. It is something a character might not longer use, nevertheless something pretty useful to somebody else.
    The main idea is to do something fun and different but also something that can be played as a community. A good example on how a market should be like.

    The experiment has to do with RP coinage
    During this event traders who whish to take part of the experiment will receive RP coinage: 100 nonameyets will be given to each one.
    100 nonameyets will be equivalent to 1 silver coin. (Which I will keep as banks do with gold to back up paper value)
    The nonameyets should be take as serious as any of your character belongings, and should be use for RP exchange only.
    More details will be given during the Flea market event.

    [b]RP coinage name[/b].
    I will describe this coinage so the community can help me name it before the Flea market takes place.
    These are round copper coins with a square hole in the middle, pretty similar to ancient Chinese coins.
    When we decide a name for them I will ask a Md artist to make a picture of it so anyone who is interested can have it in their papers.

    Names so far:
    [s]Magians[/s]
    [b]Lei[/b] (2 votes)
    [s]Drachs[/s]
    [b]Cubics[/b] (2 vote)
    [s]Rupees[/s]

    Please vote or make a suggestion.

    I just finished [i]The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay[/i] by Michael Chabon and I highly recommend it. It took me a while to finally begin it, and a while to actually finish it too, but it is so worth it.

    I didn't think a book about comics, Nazis, golems and Houdini could be so deeply moving! It also won a Pulitzer, for those of you that are in to accolades.

    Interesting... I hope i can find it here in Mexico

    I just finished World Without End by Ken Follet, awesome, couldnt stop reading same with The Pillars of the Earth.

    It's not as hard as you make it seem, to get raw items.

    [/quote]
    Hmmm... I don´t have too much time to play these days, but I been trying to get common and raw items for a week, I have offered cool creatures too, but still no luck.

    Anyways as a merchant I have a completly different aproach into items collecting, I just dont see the fun in merely carrying things arround...

  14. [b]The Market Co-opmmunity[/b]

    I think we all agree that the MD market needs a strong community willpower to work as it should (by this I mean: an inclusive, accessible market)
    Hoarding and overcharging for items is very common these days and I’m not completely sure if what I’m going to suggest is the solution, but I believe is worth the try.
    As simple as it might sound [b]The Market Co-opmunity will be a circle of market-friendly people who will not hoard or overcharge for an item.
    This circle of people will trade among them self with a different approach[/b] (leaving greed to RL) and will be constantly evaluating newcomers so the MCo-op grows day by day.
    [b]The MCo-op will have simple rules[/b]:
    [b]No hoarding[/b]
    - Only 2 will be the limited number of items for a character to hold (without counting the one made for is/her character)
    - Limited time to use the item might be useful to the purpose too* (2 months)
    [b]No Overcharging[/b]
    - This applies to raw and commonly used items (2-3 silver coins)
    [b]To give items a use[/b]*
    - Items should be on people’s inventory for a reason (Character’s reason, quest’s reason, etc) and the MCo-op should be informed of this in all times.[b]
    To have public stance against hoarding and overcharging for items on personal papers[/b]
    - It can be just a small sentence so newbes might understand what this is all about.
    [b]To support members with a pro-market initiatives (non selfish ones)[/b]
    - In this case to support the shop Firs is running is a good start
    [b]To help MCo-Op members find, -and purchasing if needed- raw items they require for his/her character [/b]
    Finally, this rule will be applied only when the community has at least 15 members:
    [b]To trade raw and common items exclusively inside the MCo-opmunnity[/b]
    [b]New addition[/b]: Colecting Items for trading is alloud, as long if it doesn't contradict prevews rules.
    Rembember this is not just a membership, it is also a responsability.

    Many people has PM with doubts about the rules, its pretty simple:
    [b]Items related to your character, or special items arent counted.
    Items used dayly on RP are somehow already justified.
    Only raw and common items will need to be justified and limited.
    The MCo-Op will operate only based on these two type of items.[/b]

    Regards,
    K

    PS: To be part of the MCo-op will have its advantages and I’m sure collectors will start to understand that it can be quite more interesting to trade then to hoard.

  15. Thank you

    Lots of new aftershocks have shaken Chile lately, and its hard to summarice structural damage, many people are still trapped or isolated. Death rises to more then 800

    Youtube has many new home made videos of this dissaster. I'll leave this link so you can have an idea how scary this earthquake sounded.

    The man is saying "Im here, calm down... Be careful with your feet (I asume it's because of the broken glasses on the floor).... Its stopping, its stoping, stay calm... Hurry and use the phone before the signal get lost... We are fine, we are ok" (It stroke at 3 am so it quite dark)

  16. Thank you for you kind words.

    Luckily my family is fine, I just received good news. We haven’t located a few more friends in Concepción yet so we are hoping to hear from them soon.
    Chile has experience earthquakes before, we have build our cities (except for the new and more fragile buildings) in order to prevent massive catastrophes like this one. Nevertheless this disaster leaves many cities with no terrestrial connections, no water, no electricity, and many homeless people,
    We will have to deal the reconstruction soon, for now all efforts are set in the rescue of trapped people under the buildings, isolated with no water etc.

  17. Thanks to the internet I was able to contact my family. Phones and electricity hasnt completly stabish yet. Im am too nerves at the moments so Ill just leave you some
