Great idea.
It seams weird to me that is hasn't been implemented yet. -
Meet the judges!!
Intrigue
WillemRedbeard
Awiiya
Kafuuka
They will be incharge of the contest now. I step a side.
Stormrunner, Marvolo, Cryxus and others will be helping them with a bit of publicity since this completly unknow they will need all the community to get involved.

hmm...
I still believe it is confusing.
Maybe is just me but... what are gold and silver coins if not a type of currency=money for the realm?
If no update is needed at leat a market reference does

Please an update is needed so new players don't get confused

[quote name='Watcher' post='32536' date='Jun 1 2009, 02:11 PM']To lower the probability of alternates, lower the value of the prizes given. Do not give out creatures. Do not give out large amounts of silver. Make the awards of value only to those who are new and who would appreciate some kind of recognition.
Is there a completely flawless way to eliminate the introduction of alternates into any kind of contest here? Of course not. That will not be a reality. However, if one were to make the rewards less appealing to those who have been here for a long time, then the likelihood of alternates being entered lowers.
Also, with the contribution/activity aspect as part of the criterion, there will be a benefit to the world as a whole, just as Kafuuka has stated. If someone who has been here for a long time really wishes to win this contest just for the meager prizes, then there is little to stop them. Yet, with as much time as effort as it would take to do well, then it is possible they will learn something in the process, as well.[/quote]
10 coins and a pimped grassan will enocourage an older player to create an alter to enter the contest? I really don't think so, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I trust the judges to be carefull enough to detect cheaters.
We'll see if people are interested first, because we'll need the judges to commit on reading many papers and be objective critics. They will be the ones in charge of the contest (which also means to create and follow some evaluation parameters)
I will start to pm a few to see if they can take that responsability.
Then we may start promoting the contest and find the right candidats for the competition.

[quote name='Chewett' post='32529' date='Jun 1 2009, 12:46 PM']BTW: if you are trying to work out my alts i use proxies. Most of them are from the US but at least one is from romania
[/quote]
Chewett you sound so proud of your self :lol:
Thanks for your comments. :good:
Indeed Watcher, I was considering asking non RCPs to be judges too. I don't know if this contest can be repeted, we have to see how it works first. Maybe Chewett will win all the prizes and crush our system.
I think your criteria and Kafuuka's are well thought. I am going to start sending a few PMs as soon as I get out of storymode. Then we'll see if people is interested or not.
I believe this should be carry out via forum so we all learn about this evaluation. I do consider my self quite an ignorant on the roll playing and personal papers thingy.
K
ps. We can also add a few extra medals: humor, complexity and... hmm originality?... this medals will have nothing to do with the judge evaluation, they can be just a chance for everyone to vote for them, to get the community involved. -
[quote name='dst' post='32524' date='Jun 1 2009, 11:30 AM']There is already an award for best papers. The annual award. It would be quite redundant if you ask me.[/quote]
Redundant? maybe it is... I wouldn't know, I am kinda newbee too.
This is a mostly an idea to get newbees interested on developing a character and also to get the community a bit more involved on their firsts steps on the Realm. If this event has taken place it had to be before I arrived to MD.

[quote name='Chewett' post='32508' date='Jun 1 2009, 05:19 AM']Isnt this just a step in between pwr and Rpc?
not that that is a bad thing.
Several problems i see. Quality of english will be key in addition to how you play your role. Also what do you propose to do about alts? It would be very easy to create an alt and ship the reward back to my main. Also how do you propose to judge this? is it in addition to the rpc's that Mur makes and the rewards that he gives out?
This isnt a criticizm but some ideas for you to consider[/quote]
Yes, ideed alts are an issue, English too. Anyway that will be a task for the judges, they have to be very carefull about that.
Other thing, the vote must be public so veterans don't vote for their adepts, the contest shouldnt be a way to gaing adepts either.
Does Mur follow parameters to give rewards?
The idea is to create just a few so the new players can prepare their papers.
I don't know you tell me.... these are just a few thoughts.
To evaluate personal papers (Each level between 1-5 points) :
1. Character story (origins)
2. Character developement (projections)
3. Character relation within the MD worls and its inhabitants
Didnt think too much about this, the judges should build the parameters not me
cryxus, stormrunner, marv would you like to be judges?
K -
Ok, first of all: [b]this is just an idea[/b]. I know it needs a lot of work.
Since RPCs and many other veterans frequently encourage new players to write about them selves on their papers, I was considering we might reward new players who have devoted some time to develop an interesting roll playing character.
I don’t know yet what parameters we should use. I don’t consider myself a good judge on that, but I know this could be a motivating contest for newcomers to the Realm.
So, first I would like to know if you consider this to be a good idea.
In case you do:
1. we might need a few parameters so we can evaluate them and
2. we will definitely need a few judges too.
I was thinking the newcomers have to be at least 15 days old and no more then 90 days old.
The prizes I would offer are from the Market funds
First Place: A pimped grassan + 10 MDS
Second Place: 10 MDS
Third Place: 5 MDS
K -
I think that is a good idea.
From what I've seen this is mostly a grown up kinda game, and game sites are not the best (and only) kind of promotion MD needs right now.
Searchengines are a great idea but I would also use a few flash banner ads on key sites. I am not an online player fan, so I never visited game sites, the first game I played online was because I clicked an add banner on my mail, so it is possible to atrack people whom never played before with that type of publicity.

A long list of commun and special items is now on Mur's hands. We hope items will soon start appearing randomly.
Soon I will start recolecting them for our next market item-auction.
When I get 6-7 I will squedule an auction. Please be patient, I wont sell until then.
(I am accepting 1 Gold coin = 15 silver coins)
For now I will ask those with 5 or more items let others get the chance to aquire items during auctions.
Regards,
K
PS. For items prices I will take under consideration the results of Kafuuka's poll. So please those who haven't answered yet, here is the link:

[quote name='Rhaegar Targaryen' post='32157' date='May 24 2009, 08:48 AM']i have an idea of drawing pictures representing events from player's history in MD... i would draw them myself, but cause i have lack of talent for drawing, i want to propose this to the artisans
for example: creating the Savelites Church, Raven's leave to the sentinels, apearing of angiens... etc.
it would be really nice to see art history page[/quote]
I really like the idea. But it will mean a lot of work from the artisans.

[quote name='Kafuuka' post='32022' date='May 22 2009, 12:17 PM']So far there has been a lot of discussion about what the MDS is worth, whether or not the currency actually has value, is stable etc. I thought it'd be a good thing to have a survey about prices, so I made one.[/quote]
Thanks so much Kafuuka. I really apreciate the effort you put in this.
I trust the value of the MDS coin is in our hands (MD community) only. So it is for us to decide.
I hope we can soon see the results.

[quote name='pamplemousse' post='31922' date='May 21 2009, 05:07 PM']I LOVE IT! Arf Arf!
Viva la waggley tail![/quote]
hahaha :lol: Todos a mover la colita! :yahoo:
Nahh, the song its anoying after a while. -
I asked Akasha to turn it off a few weeks ago, she told me she was goin to ask Mur. That is all I could do
-
Please, there is a thread to discuss topics like currency issues and creatures/items auctions. (Market forum). I blame my self, I should have stopt posting.
Mur is taking care of the funds situation that created the conflict so I believe we can close this topic so the discussion may continue where it belongs.
Thank you. -
Felicidades Shadowseeker!

[quote name='Guybrush Threepwood' post='31737' date='May 20 2009, 06:30 PM']Here is my current understanding of the market. People give Kriskah money for things, or Kragel, or whatever. Kriskah or Kragel then gives money to people for quest whatnots. These people then use the money for what? Trading critters and what else? I hear RP interaction a lot, but how many people would trade a coin for a RP interaction if they thought they could get a drachorn if they saved enough coins? I'm curious to know how many people would actually trade coins for things like "muffins" or "surgery", and so far I have only got an answer from about five people saying that, "of course everyone would". It really doesn't seem so obvious to me, maybe I'm just being silly.[/quote]
Guy. You got to be kidding me... you just leave me with no words. Where you in the same meeting we all did? :lol:
I am sorry, but it is a bit funny after all we have talk and talk you come with this type of questions. I prefer to take it with hummor rather then think we really said those confussing things. I dont really understand what are you saying, I will try to explain this to you again.
The public funds where divided into:
People with Quests so they may give coins as rewards.
buying items
As a merchant I will be buyin and selling Items. The main market purpusse is everyone can buy items (and creats), everyone should be able to participate on the market. That is why we need coins to spread. Hopely Items will do the same.
(In other topics I remarked jobs rewards will have to be revaluated so people dont abuse of it. You will find more about the market in other threads)

[quote name='Watcher' post='31729' date='May 20 2009, 05:41 PM']As noted in other places, there are those who view the silver coin as completely worthless. To them, it has no value and is an extra something given to them when they make a purchase of an "item" they believe that has real value (ex. increases in attack, defense or other values.)
Creatures, on the other hand, are much more concrete in their value. Everyone has them. Given enough time and battles, these creatures can give an interesting return to those who invest in them.
I am sure there are more questions to ask, but this is enough to get a dialogue on the subject started and, if not here, on another thread.[/quote]
I find on Watcher's words quite important material of discussion. We have been talking about this for a while and I believe we will continue.
After all the discussion I have reacently read, I find md coins currency more "symbolic" then real. And I value the simplicity of that in a transaccion. But I recognize people will expect the market to become more then just an rp simulation. Mur will have an important roll in this matter.
There are a few ideas on how to make silver coins gain value on diferent post, as I recall most of them agreed MDSilvers have to become more rare.

[quote name='Nex' post='31720' date='May 20 2009, 03:37 PM']just a minor grammatical thing, more of a pun, but i guess its better to point it out before people start splitting hairs in the "she said in her post that she wants to keep it all herself"- kind of way
double negative. [i]not[/i] wish to keep [i]none[/i] means you [b]do[/b] wish to keep some, or all.
same with do not not enjoy having a bag of coins[/quote]
Thanks Nex.
No matter how many times I edit I allways leave some grammar mistakes
You should all learn to speak Spanish -
I am trully concerned about this auction-market conflict. It really worries me that something that originally was intended to build community by creating an entire new way of RP relations, can easily turn into the complete opposite.
The hole idea of a market for MD was suposed to be simple and plain fun roll playing, there is no other intention on my behalf.
Never intended to be in charge of MD Market, I trully hope I am not. What I have is a project but it involves the MD community, so it is for you to determine if the market thingy can work, not me.
The MD Market has to be something we all want, but we have to know the purpuses of the market are much bigger then the market it self, I am not sure if people understands that... we will see.
Ps. All coins (except those for rewards we allready talked about), and all creatures from the market fund are going to be used to trade for items (which is what I been trying to do from the start), I do not wish to keep them. I do not enjoy having a bag of coins, and I am also not the fighting kind of player, so I will hoard only if people do the same with items. Nevertheless I will not pay for expensive items because I want to be able to sell them in a accesive price, want every player to have a chance to participate.

This all means I have the hardest job on the Realm, a merchant in a Land where money does not exist
