  1. I've never written a limerick - so here are some broken attempts:

    There once was Peace, a Necrovian
    Who finding the ocean dove she in
    But being part shade
    It became her true grave
    And as she died, the moral she cried, don't mistake oneself for avian

    (I don't think this is a limerack. The ending line was way too many foots. Alternatively, it really wants to be a morphed limerick:

    There once was Peace, a Necrovian
    Who finding the ocean dove she in
    But being part shade
    It became her true grave
    And as she died,
    The moral she cried,
    Don't mistake oneself for avian)

    An alternate:

    Have you met the poor man Grido?
    He thought he could sing just any note,
    So walking along
    He sang a song,
    And made, more than Eon, a thousand foe.

    Or another:

    I could tell you a tale of a man named Mur,
    Who made a kingdom that many prefer,
    So much they did love,
    In opinion held him above,
    And decided that to him their souls would transfer.

    Why not:


    A man once grew named Awiiya
    He lived in intellect, peace, and awe
    Until a non-poetic man
    Tired of his wordy tin can
    Cut him down quick with a tree saw.

    And a final, real limerick, (with help from a one Tarquinus):


    There was a kind Queen, Handy Pockets,
    Who kept secret loves in a locket.
    Once when broken unlocked,
    Everyone was quite shocked,
    To see pictures of fire bombs and rockets

  2. I would like to buy an image for my Bubble Weaver. I imagine it to draw inspiration from a Dream Catcher, but you may take of course some artistic license with that.

    You'll also have to name your price, since I haven't the faintest idea what the prices are these days. If it involves creatures or coins, I may have to contact friends, so expect some delays if that's the case.

    Awi

  3. I think these questions are actually all on-topic. You posted a flyer, which is the purpose of this topic, and we are asking questions about that flyer.

    Also - you say that you hope to understand "the powers he was using." Sasha, I can't be the only one finding this all incredibly vague. His powers were by and large technical - he used spells to teleport himself and others around. There wasn't, if my memory serves me, much discussion of the implications of the shifting. No papers written about the theoretical underpinnings of his travel, no deep metaphorical connections. I'm not sure there are many teachings to learn from.

    Did you ever meet simplyzero? I forget who was around when.

    As an afterthought: You mention again that Simply worked for his spells. But again, if I remember correctly, he was awarded his spells in an era where some were given things without much work.

    Awi

  4. "It is once more time to follow the teachings of Simplyzero. To understand how to travel, to and from far and distant lands, by means that many do not.

    Dimensional shifting and the use of magic are the means I speak of"

    A question: in the announcement Mur mentioned that you do not have any of the spells or technical abilities of SimplyZero. So what... exactly... do you mean when you say "Dimensional shifting and the use of magic." What magic precisely?

  5. Seigheart, I've been watching carefully, and it seems to me that in response to every complaint brought against you, you respond with cussing and something that amounts to, "I told you all what I was going to do in another forum board somewhere." Then you link to a forum board, which often doesn't include the aforementioned notification. Or it includes a line that goes directly against how you later acted.

    I will pick two bones.

    1. Stop cussing. It cheapens your language and makes you look like a poorly behaved brat. Fight with long words and complex insults, because then even if you end up saying what amounts to the same thing, you at least say it prettily. My advice: if you can't insult somewhat cleverly, you shouldn't be doing it all. It colors you as a tragically immature man who can't control his temper.

    2. Lay out PRECISELY what you will do BEFORE someone finds issue with your actions. Read, reread, rereread, whatever it takes you to ensure that when you post it WILL be correct and no one can fault you later for what you said up front. Sound tedious? Don't like the scrutiny? If you answered yes to either of those, maybe you've chosen the wrong role.

    If a Treasure Keeper seems dishonest, people stop investing, stop buying, stop trusting. You're only hurting yourself.

  6. Just wondering, I'm no GGan- when has a constitution this extensive been written for a group of... 10 or so active people?

    I would imagine that some form of organization really is helpful. But this? I question it. Does it really take this many words to organize such a small collection?

    I would, I think, form something far more loose and dynamic.

    Awi

  7. As someone who HAS given up creatures, movement, alliances, and limited items and spells for upwards of a year and a half, it's a bit difficult to remain itemless. People just give them to you.

    And as for the free feeling... you might not feel it at first. In fact you'll probably feel bored. And you might never feel it.

    If anybody would LIKE to participate in this, you're more than welcome to join me up north. I'm around sometimes, too, and we can talk if that interests you. If you want to give up movement and sit still with me, that's welcome too.

    Awi

    And as an added note, if you feel that Ensetym is doing this to confiscate your items, I'll take them. I'm not going anywhere, and we all know that I care very very very little for any material things. I'll certainly not steal them.

    But I won't take your creatures.

  8. Really? That's too complicated. I have a hard enough time trying to remember who joined in the last year, let alone forcing myself to remember only what someone did in the further away part of the year. For fairness, that would be ideal, but practically.... it can't be done.

    Sure, it gives rookies who joined in the early months an edge, because they have longer. I'm fine with that. Also - I strongly believe that a player can make a huge impact in a small amount of time, and if someone was active in January/February and died out by the time the awards rolled around, that would act against, rather than for them.

    I would say leave as is.

    Awi

  9. I feel comfortable on the state level, but again, that's a personal preference.

    Also, as an aside, I'm never going to meet anyone in person. No matter how close you live.

  11. This is a fairly simple quest.

    Write a short bio of a player you are well acquainted with, post it here. Up-rep the ones you approve of.

    Each bio earns you one bubble. This quest has no foreseeable end. It'll go until I get bored, or until you get bored, or until a particularly noxious combination of apathy overwhelms us all and there's nothing to salvage our lives except the end of this quest.

    Also, if it's good enough, I reserve the right to add your bio to the player wiki. ([url="http://magicduel.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Player"]http://magicduel.wik...Category:Player[/url]), that is, unless you do it before I can. And I also reserve the right to edit your words, or add a whole other section, etc. Just be aware. By posting on this board, you essentially give me your words to do with as I please.

    There's possibly a wishpoint or two for particularly prolific or skilled writers.

    And I can enter my own quest. Need to earn some bubbles for myself.

    EDIT: There has been some confusion. I wish the bio to be about the player's deeds and character IN GAME. Do not write about real life things.

  12. I'll go out on a limb and be a curmudgeon here:

    Gift. Noun. Definition: Something given voluntarily without payment in return, as to show favor toward someone, honor an occasion, or make a gesture of assistance; present.

    A keyword to note: voluntary. This board is full of people who have an air of being cheated out of something, but by the very nature of gifts, you're entitled to.... nothing. This isn't a reward or a medal of achievement or even a prize. These are christmas gifts.

    You may of course take my own words with a grain of salt. I received both the automated presents and the manual (albeit confused) gift of a darkling (not for sale, watch out for a quest in the new year). But really? Your disdain is as if Mur stole creatures from you for being inactive.

  13. Additionally, in the event that your username changes without your knowing, you can log in using the email that your username is linked to.

    Simply use "youremail@email.com" (example) instead of your username, and type in your password and the security letters as normal.
