technically this is within bounds of the court as it is abuse.

If it can get me in as well as out then 1GC and 1 SC

[quote name='I am Bored' date='21 February 2010 - 10:06 AM' timestamp='1266768413' post='54906'] what you don't like my 14 pages of notebook paper worth of writing on my first day of md? [/quote] I liked it but the fact of the matter is it could be considered a spoiler thus it has been hidden in order to stop new players who don't want to read ahead accidentally do so. Edit: Ok im starting to get worried could those that plan to participate please post here for I know who is going to participate. I dont want to end up with just a few stories.

To all moderators I under stand this might be a _______ but its an entry so I would like it to remain visible. If you see fit you can put it as one of those drop down boxes but it must remain in this forum topic. Thanks for understanding. P.S. I'm guessing you can figer out what the blank is I just want to spare the new players what this could be.

[quote name='I am Bored' date='18 February 2010 - 04:40 PM' timestamp='1266532857' post='54708'] Well now i have a use for that 3,000 word story on my first day of MD [/quote] Well remember you have until the end of April in order to submit it so feel free to refine it in any way you may see fit.

[quote name='Jester' date='17 February 2010 - 05:18 PM' timestamp='1266448726' post='54652'] A player trying to revive MD is like trying to revive a person who is drowning by throwing a bucket of water at their face. EDIT: To expand on that, I didn't mean players shouldn't try to make the game more fun. I simply meant that MD wouldn't be MD without Mur, and only Mur could "revive" the game. [/quote] Technically you arnt supposed to critisize but screw it might as well be open. Yes I agree with this though with the removal of RPC's its time to make as many people as possible take action make an event. I simply want to be part of building things. This is a new era if you want to put it that way. Mur has opened a gate and shown how a community makes a game what it is. Though small and shrinking its time for those that have the ability to change things change it and those who dont (myself) make a move to make things change. Jester I am not vetoing your thoughts I am agreeing with you I just say that if MD is to be saved it needs not only mur and I think mur would agree with what I say here though I will not speak for him thats his choice to make.

OK this is the thing I was reading the posts when I came upon a very interesting post where Mur himself explained what was going on with MD and the major problems with where we where going and how he really needs to recharge and how the story became so erratic that he eventually had to shut it down. This is where I want to pick up the shambles... By pick up the shambles I mean you pick up the shambles. I want to see MD revived and im rather sure you want to too. So this is the deal. This has two rewards: 1) A Wish Point for the winner 2) 10 silver for the runner up The rules: Ok quick rundown. This will run until April 30th 00:00 server time so I want to see quality work no spelling or grammar errors or some shabby 30 word start of a story. *The story must be at least 1000 words long *The story must not show an end and must make you want to know what will happen next without giving it away. *The story must revolve around MD *The story must under all circumstances follow a mechanic of game play I don't want to see any spells being cast that make the world go back to the way things used to be. A problem arises must be solved but in a way MD can solve it not some half assed made up spell. You can use only spells in the wish shop and controlled by special characters and usable items that have been made. *The story must finally be based upon something that has happened in the MD world meaning that it must include only real character from MD and must have happened or is happening in the MD world. It cant be something pulled out of a hat it has to have arisen from a real event. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So that's the run down of it all. The stories will be posted in the forum at the end the best of the stories will be selected by myself and some peers that feel compelled to help. Please send me a PM if you are interested in reviewing in the form or if you really want to catch me in game. Keep in mind though if you are going to be judging you cant wright as you may vote or trade votes with other players to get a reward. Have fun and may the best writer win. Judges: Kamisha (Lead Judge) Master (Neutral) Phantom Orchid (Loreroot Representative) Edit: Opened up fourm to all comments as there seems to be alot of heated discussion about this idea. Removed adventure log target. Changed all the characters having to be real. Changed rewards to Tarquinus specifications added a judge panel list.

[quote name='dst' date='12 February 2010 - 09:23 PM' timestamp='1266031431' post='54393'] Peace is right: 1 visible adept counts as yourself. As for the number of the adepts on the right panel, well...that number is counted every day at a specific hour. So if your adept becomes active at let's say 12:00 am you'll still have the number from the last count(which was something early in the morning server time but I am not 100% sure at what time exactly). It should increment at the next count. So, the next day you should have the right number of adepts. That's why I asked for how long you had the adepts showing like this. In the past there were some issues with adepts' count but Mur solved them a long time ago. So I suspect that was your problem. Let me know how's the situation for you now since it should have changed...(if I am correct about the time of the count). [/quote] So wait your confusing me so I count my self as an adept so if I have two then it should mean that it should be displayed as three. OK ill just give you the numbers and let you sort it out. 2 active adepts excluding my self. 2 active shown on my right panel. Heres the jpg 2 days after the count. Aww you look at it and looks like im going to be down to 1 again or 2 maybe because I don't understand that's depressing.

Though I am not ready to become a true citizen of loreroot I like to consider my self one. I have to completely agree with Firsanthalas at any rate this is discrimination. Although I do believe it is cheating and I think it has been referred to once or twice in a few posts. However by any means I have found there is only one way to compete with people that use a flawed system to there advantage. To put things into perspective in the past and I mean like distant past such a biblical times (if you believe in that) there has been record of in wars that a rule was implied that you cant kill after dark. Continuing you cant even today attack a vehicle carrying injured soldiers that bare the red cross symbol. Obviously people go against this and do it anyway. That's why these rules are lifted from the battle fields of countries that are not represented in the embessy. I don't want to employ that the torch competition is anything like this but put into perspective this is a war between the nations. We are simply fighting back the way you fought us. Now here we are taking the blame because you guys didn't do your part this time. I mean really its about time somebody took the podium in the same style any of you did. Its simply our turn. I would like to put an end to this right now but untill rules of the contest are changed that is not a fact that any of us can make a reality. Not by any means do I see this as an honest victory because quite frankly it isn't. Though if by any thoughts this is only a fair return of your favor. That's all I have to say on this matter.

[quote name='dst' date='12 February 2010 - 05:45 PM' timestamp='1266018349' post='54377'] Did you have the 2 adepts showing for more then 1 day and the counter did not increase (aka show the correct number)? [/quote] no but I have had 1 adept displayed with no adepts active for over a year now .

My proposal is simple instead of removing the item owners list it would be better to replace it by simply replacing it with a refined system. This system would have the ability to search items by typing in a name of a item. The items would then pop up based on that key word search. The other option would be a drop down box that would show the items. When either of these options are used the owners of the considered item would be displayed below. This would limit the hording as being on the list would only occur when somebody is looking for a item that you possess as well as trading I suspect will actually improve as not only the high item holders are contacted but the people with the correct items are contacted. Seeing what is already in use on MD this doesn't seem particularly different to program. I would like anybody who does not find this as an except able approach to challenge it within reason and modify it in order to remove any problems.

OK I just recently decided to get adepts. This has actually taken place over a year ago but didnt decide to report it as it always displayed 1 adept and since all where inactive it was a plus. This is when it becomes a problem. When you have two active adepts and you only have one. I will post a screen shot of what I am experiencing. Please fix this as soon as possible. Kamisha ID:3860

The willows show isn't all that far fetched of an idea because as most players know that where around during the first festival of MD's anniversary the willows shop was the area to train. Thats where all the players got collectively together and fought it out. You can in fact see evidence of that in the first release of the newspaper when you look at big C's return article. It was after that that the GOE was the fighting area as everybody migrated and didn't move back. Then that was followed by the skill damage and the tokens which resulted in safe fighting zones with rules which we know as the DOJO and the GGG. If you want to revive willows shop you are actually going to have to set a date for everybody who wants to revive it to show up at once and then if everybody does it should be self sustaining because that will be the only place to fight where there are a large amount of profiles. You would have to do the reverse of what happened when it died. [color="#0000FF"]If a thread is dead for several months is no use reviving it: it means everything which was worth saying has been said. Us failing to close it doesn't mean we like zombie topics. Moreover if all you said was not new and has been discussed. Topic closed. Thank you for the understanding, DST[/color]

[quote name='Phantom Orchid' date='10 February 2010 - 04:57 PM' timestamp='1265842650' post='54248'] I have a few journal entries in my Book of Dreams that I would like to share: [b] Journal entry # 5-9-39a[/b] This morning when I awoke I noticed a strange presence in the temple. It feels like prana, but lighter in a way. This is only my second day of being in ritual here, but I am not perturbed considering the other oddities I have observed here. There is a peculiar behavior of light that dances within these venerable walls of breathtaking architecture - crafted by none less than the elite of such profession. I am honored for the clerical inter-alliance cooperation with the Savelites for providing such an opportunity to offer my mind, body, and soul to the Goddess of the Moon here. I observed the following: [i]: Muratus del Mur leaves his coat on the floor and places a small cube in front of him Muratus del Mur: Lets see if i can do this... i can't stand borders [/i] Though I have remained respite from the sun within these walls, my servant has told me that when he delivers food and water it now takes the effort of two hundred steps just to walk up the handful of them leading up and into the temple. The words of Mur are resonant within me... How I long for to travel to the other side [i]where there are no borders[/i]. [b]Journal entry # 5-9-39b[/b] My servant Dimian tells me of what he has heard from his travel here: The following words at wind's game: [i]: Muratus del Mur looks behind trying to spot unwanted followers[/i] This one at plains of liberty: : [i]Muratus del Mur picks a small rock and places it in his pocket | Muratus del Mur: That should do it ... [/i] Then, at the foundation: : [i]Muratus del Mur murmurs some words and draws a line on the ground just between the two pillars | Muratus del Mur: No need to get out at this time.. its safer for you ..go back[/i] In checkers hall: :[i] Muratus del Mur leaves a rock under the chair | Muratus del Mur: Forget! | Muratus del Mur leaves in a hurry[/i] [b]Journal entry # 5-9-40a[/b] I came back into this world during my ritual at the GoE. My head hurts and my creatures have been bruised from the journey, but I shall return to conclude my service at the Temple in the East. [b] Journal entry # 5-9-41a[/b] Again it happened! I returned to the temple, and resumed my ritual. It happened just as the Source was flowing through me... and I came back to what some call 'the present' outside the Lighthouse in Golemus. (And there were not even any falling houses or glittery red shoes to boot!) [Edit: Mods, not sure if this thread belongs here or in the Tribunal section of the forum] [/quote] Yes I noted that though when looking through it it seems to have some important facts that support it. If you have noticed that mur usually likes to pick up rocks when he is thinking about things such as the usable items one week before he announced them publicly I saw a few posts of him picking up rocks. It's a trend yet I understandably people are going to dismiss this as a trivial thing. I dont really care about my balance anyway. The rock under the chair still puzzles me although considering he does have the key to the sun room up the stairs it may have a small significance to that though I don't understand its total story if any. Some of these things maybe actually placed in order to delay people from finding the temple and besides mur enjoys toying with what is going to happen in the MD world next. The line in the sand finally I believe is important. I think it may be a domain with earthier shades as a new training system or a new place to get creatures now that I think it out in my head.Of course everything I say is a theory based on observation and on pure guessing in alot of the cases. Thats all I can make out at this point. If any changes are going to take place it will be a while yet considering that there are still some other factors to take place. I mean there was supposed to be a chapter three too the story and we now have a totally new coding going on with usable items. There is just too much going on to make a decisive answer.

[quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='09 February 2010 - 10:52 PM' timestamp='1265777575' post='54204'] Omfg. I am watching that episode as I read this. O.o Anyways, I am expecting some grands things for the Lands. [/quote] wow creepy man

[quote name='Orlando Gardiner' date='09 February 2010 - 12:33 PM' timestamp='1265740439' post='54164'] Did he just said : places a small cube in front of him Intresting:) [/quote] Ya the cube has been the source of mystery though I do have a theory and this supports it. At the beginning of the story there is the wooden box. Small as it might be it turns out that you can fit in it. You likely see where I am going with this. I believe that inside this box exists the entire MD universe. If you have ever seen Futurerama the episode considering the machine that can create alternate universes contained inside boxes you know what I am talking about. I just hope that mur takes good care of that box and doesn't feel inclined to shake it... too much .

If you have ever been to the temple hall it is time to take a second look and stay tuned. In the eastern lands the is a location as follows.: Territory: Lands Of The East Coord: 7_templehall_1. It used to be a lot easier to get there but things are getting difficult as to enter the temple from the entrance takes a grand total of 200 AP 100AP to walk up what is a seemingly small staircase and another 100AP to open what seems like well oiled though heavy double doors. Obviously something is going to change and the community members that have entered say the same. It seems like alot of AP to get into a location with no clickables and nothing to interact with and find a boarder. This is why I am posting this. At approximately 00:00 server time mur logged in and posted this as a announcement: [2010-02-09 00:09:50 - Alpha 9] During Torch Competition you can get very useful additional actionpoints by using the free credits links. Thats very convenient. Even if just clicking the links is enough to get you that actionpoint (and other bonuses), its not always enough for MD. Some of those links require you to enter a confirmation code or to click a voting button. Your votes help MD a lot, and since they are free and its not that hard to actualy vote, please do so and don't just click the links without voting. MD has a much lower rating on topsites that require a verification code and its realy a pitty to send them traffic without actualy getting something in return that will benefit our community. It only shows that other players from other games care more about their game than we do, and they actualy vote not just click links. Comments are also important, good, or bad, just not rubbish. I own some of the places you vote so i get to aprove and see your comments sometimes. Better don't write at all than to copy/paste text you find on the site or just repeat indefenetly same comment. Nobody cares a game is "cool cool cool", show some creativity, it helps a lot. Thank you, a lot. What most people dont know is there was a large trail showing mur earthier leaving or entering the eastern lands. Usually I like to see developments and some of his new toys (usable items) in action. I was almost there untill I hit the wall or the AP drainer as I will likely call it. So I had to wait but once I entered as the last person there I found it is worth the wait. However there are no changes as of yet I do have evidence of change to come. The chat below shows a plan in the future of this location and likely is going to be one of the newer installments. The chat follows: [i]Aerrin[/i]: Yup, it says this is my fifth visit here now. It was so much easier to enter this door yesterday, and the day before. I wonder what changed. The view is the same, nothing clickable still. [i]Famfrit Flamel[/i]: Worth it! [i]Famfrit Flamel[/i]: Im heading to the forums for a little till the regen hits. I'll check in from time to time if you want to talk. [i]Aerrin[/i]: Haha, I can't imagine why this was worth it to you. Is anything clickable for you? XD [i]Famfrit Flamel[/i]: Worth it for me to say I've been here. That is all. [i]Aerrin[/i]: Ah, well, I think I've explored every area I can without breaking through mazes. Chances are, whatever is supposed to be here isn't here yet. Probably should look again later. [i]Famfrit Flamel[/i]: Probably, but I think there was something here at one time. [i]Aerrin[/i]: I guess that's possible too. XD Do you see anything different than I do? [i]Famfrit Flamel[/i]: Nope. Nothing clickable for me. Just a bunch of pillars and a blank wall. [i]Aerrin[/i]: Well, I might as well leave here then. Very boring place. Not worth the extra 99 ap to enter. >.> [i]Aerrin[/i]: Until we meet again. [i]Famfrit Flamel[/i]: Meh. Peace man. [b]: Muratus del Mur leaves his coat on the floor and places a small cube in front of him [i]Muratus del Mur[/i]: Lets see if i can do this... i can't stand borders [/b] So that's why I'm posting this I want to see what you might think will happen in this area.

I guess ill take a shot at this its a bit hard to find pictures labeled other than white out in winnipeg weather but snow and minus 40 is a good combination as the snow crystallizes to cause a cristalic structure. I will let you be the judge of that anyway. I got 2 photos here. I only stopped because any longer and I would be using Voice recognition tech in order to make this message. I used photo bucket cause HD photos are huge in a word. Oh ya by the way the second one I would like to think of as bob after im done with him:P . [IMG]http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae298/Kamisha_02/MD/MD001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae298/Kamisha_02/MD/MD002.jpg[/IMG]

The biggest fight is that between MB and LR considering the fact that they are both the most accessable and populated lands. we can leave the MD archives out and the underground is also outed due to how few people actually fight for them.

I have to say that a player driving people from MD is not fair but with all due respect if somebody so easily is driven by simple frustration and a couple of insults or falling victim to some player from leaving a safe zone by all means if they choose to leave the game by all means go ahead. I mean I'm not the strongest player I've been victimized insulted repetitively when I was trying to run for king of lore root I've been labeled as a hater of bob chased to the end of the map turned into a ghost ran all the way the other way then end up running back the way I came. With complete respect I believe I have been victimized the most in the last few months than anybody at all though considering most of it was my doing. Also by the way you seem to be fighting for a position of a moderator a lot more than simply bad talking Dst. In my personal opinion I would suggest that this topic was actually raised in order to reopen you for to the possibility to become a moderator. It has however become apparent through multiple posts that there was a valid reason for your removal though there are some posts supporting it. At the very least if I where running the choices I would suspend you from editing posts and begin a investigation. You said you couldn't care less but you seem to be fighting for it pretty hard.

[quote name='Tarquinus' date='16 January 2010 - 07:02 PM' timestamp='1263690162' post='52846'] I carry torches from a sense of duty, as Tarquinus is loyal to the land of [s]Loreroot[/s] Narnia and feels obliged to do his part for [s]the alliance[/s] Aslan. The contest is [s]no fun for me whatsoever[/s] Sparta. [/quote] Very nice edit lol.

O.k. I don't post often but I think this might just have some interesting results. [b]Please answer the poll above before reading[/b] what I have to say because I want a clear result nothing I should to change it. In my personal opinion basically all lands well except maybe one and leading closely two have a aufull score. This is likely facilitated by the fact that people are asking players to sit just out side well they just feed them wins but still I think there are other difficulties. One of the most obvious difficulties I see with this is the idea of land. You move slow unless you are part of that land. Example: I am a neutral player I dont think I am ready to join a guild legion what ever you choose to call it so I run head long into a brick wall that has a limit of moving two scenes every 100 action points. So citizenship I think should be up and running. Second of all rewards are minuscule if even there. For example I have never heard anybody say wow I got a huge stats boost from the torch competition this week. It more is along the lines of I transported 3. So what happened then nothing its just something I can say I did. It lasts for maybe a week before it subsides and eventually dies off. Also the danger of being attacked increases because it seems only the top people like to carry torches and just run through a location like a &)*#(ing plow. Which then leads into the amount of people actually participating. You know last time I attempted this feat it took me a solid hour to get all the way to marnid bell then waited at the totem capital for a sold 20 minutes until well as I said my self and 2 others got hit by another quite simply named plow gathering 3 points for him and -3 for us. Sorry for having to suffer through my rant but basically anything that i have to talk about for more than I paragraph turns into this format. Though earthier way I want to see what you have to say. Don't double post by the way if you have anything more to say just edit your post that you did before writing this making sure if you specified something other and posted it that that part is untouched.

[quote name='Muratus del Mur' date='21 December 2009 - 08:39 AM' timestamp='1261406351' post='50731'] I don't think we can get enough preorders to reach that minimum order [/quote] Luckily I'm going to open the checking account so I can get paypal but I look and you are not certified so im out of luck. By the way 3d silver looks great and its rather cost efficient as well for what you are getting. The bronze looks nice but the color scheme with the shadows sort of takes away and what you get for the gold not as great also the 24K gold plating will rub off really easy.

I'm going to try my luck with 106.
