Aia del Mana

And how long will it stay there?

Why does the first day start on some day in April? And what is ST?

And for what purpose may it be used?

And how may I receive them more frequently?

I am unsure whether this were indeed a bug, or if it were related to the new interface. It appears that tokens will only take effect during combat; thus, there is no increase in the maximum vitality when the creature were not within combat.

A "nojump" scene can be determined by the presence of "nojump" in the Tags listed for the scene. The "nojump" tag means that one is unable to use particular teleportation methods either to or from the scene. These include spells such as the "send to paper cabin", or the "jump to alliance leader" function. Some, more powerful spells are able to bypass this requirement. These are usually spells owned only by monarchs and game masters.

I will also participate in this, if I may of service, although it very much appears that many with varied opinions have already offered theirs.

The limitations of mobile play are largely dependent on the method used to access MagicDuel on the mobile device, and the specifications and capabilities of the device itself. Those with a mobile device with significant hardware limitations may want to use the older mobile link - http://www.magicduel.com/mobile This particular interface will allow one to read and respond to the Chat in the scene one is currently placed in, check and reply to in-game messages, check the latest updates, check the mood-panel and create a mood-status, and logout. Other features are largely unavailable with this specific method, but performance is very fast compared to other mobile methods. Those with a more powerful mobile device will likely be able to access most game features. Currently, development is in progress to make interface interactions easier for mobile users. Some mobile devices will have the capability to use "Desktop Mode", which may further decrease the interface limitations, but may also drain the device's battery faster.

Historically, Principles were used to power Inner-Magic spells for use in realm-changing roleplay activity, such as that which occurred in the Adventure Log. Further development of MagicDuel led to the existence of creature-tokens. Some of these are able to give creature boosts depending on the attacker's and defender's principle values. It is not currently possible to change an existing principle that has already been chosen, unless one descends a Mind-Power (commonly, from MP7 to MP5, or MP6 to MP5). In this case, the last chosen principles will be removed. It is possible, however, to gain principle points in a principle already chosen, and these are usually gained from sacrificing creatures with heat-scars on them.

Fyrd has largely detailed the most accessible methods of being attacked, however, there are also other methods used to repel attackers. If one wishes not to participate in combat, then, having zero creatures which may participate in combat will prevent the occurrence of further battles. MagicDuel also has a feature known as the honor system - one gains honor from defeating other players with a greater excess of wins (or smaller excess of losses) than the attacker. Provided it is not an inter-alliance attack, players with a large excess of losses will cause others who attack them to lose larger values of honor. Once a player has reached a value of -500 honor, they will not be able to attack other players except for those who will grant positive honor.

At present, it is impossible to be added to the Adventure Log, as there will be no further updates to it.

Gilded avatars require the following: 1. That the Level 2 Avatar feature has been unlocked in the MD Shop 2. That the cost of gilding has been provided - most commonly, a Gilded Avatar Token 3. That the player possesses the monochrome version of the avatar in question (unless it is purchased as a gift for another, who possesses the monochrome version) 4. That the artwork can be gilded and uploaded. At present, I (Aia) am able to gild existing avatar artwork, but Mur or Chewett will need to upload them to replace the existing monochrome version.

Although it might not look like the player's head, it is a number of head trophies (commonly referred to merely as heads by the playerbase). These are gained or lost from fighting - most commonly, one would gain heads by attacking and defeating a player with some of these heads, and lose them by defending against and losing to another player. It is also possible to gain them from bounties, and rarely, other activities. In the past, contests were run where players would attempt to collect these and hold them in specific locations. While such contests have not occurred for some years, their functionality remains, and some players still choose to collect heads for fun, or for other purposes, which are left to the player to discover.

Whether a creature is granted a win in combat is determined by the following factors, in the following order; provided the creature in question survives all rounds of combat: 1. By percentage, the side which ended combat with the greater percentage gain/smaller percentage loss of vitality will win. 2. If by 1, the percentage change is equal (often: 0%/0%, or 100%/100%) then the creatures on the player who initiated the attack will win. Since it is possible to win with 0%/0% change in vitality, then, it is possible to gain a win with 0% heat gain. There are, of course, many ways to do this, but they will usually involve that the other player also sets something that will allow this to occur. Speak to other players to see if they can help with this!

While MagicDuel is a realm with its own systems in place, it has been many years since there has been a court-case, and those who have previously been on the Tribunal are largely absent now. There however remain a number of avenues to resolve issues that have failed simple discussion between the parties in question: 1. Speaking with the representative monarchs of both the plaintiff and defendant's land. As monarchs have some power over their citizens to provide punishments, it is possible that these issues can be resolved at this level. 2. If it is a game-bug or other abuse of a game mechanic, posting a report on the forum with screenshots can be very useful; this can often lead to reimbursement of that which was lost during the abuse in question when it is fixed, provided that one did not abuse it themselves. 3. Discussion with a game-master. Ideally, this is not the first avenue of resolution, as the game-masters are overburdened with requests, but it can be effective at doing so. As a Tribunal has previously existed, it is possible to form a new court system; ideally, players in high standing with the community, and known to be impartial and just, would be invited to be part of such a system. Maybe the reader of such a question could reform this system.

A25 is usually not something that is granted upon request, but through proving oneself first, and also showing that there would be significant benefit to MagicDuel by being granted the A25 Tools. Those with A25 Tools are usually those who have dedicated significant time to developing activities in MD for other players - often quests, contests, or treasure hunts, but sometimes other development in Magicduel; such as the conversion of scenes from Flash over a year ago. One with such an idea who wishes to make it real should first detail this out in a presentable manner to an A25 member, and then discuss with them how it may be made real. Although these tools are very useful, there are many functions which are not yet possible with them, and so the limitations of A25 can often make quest-making a challenge.

Although popular vote is by far the most common method to become a monarch, other methods are possible, such as becoming part of a bloodline or royal family. Particular game-masters have also become monarchs through design and development of particular domains, notably, Mur of the East and arguably Dark Demon of the Labyrinth. In all cases, it is important to note that acknowledgment of the role is usually more important than the role itself; as a wise being once did say: "He who must say 'I am the king' were not, indeed, the king."

There are many ways for a player to make their role public. This usually will involve some level of role-play as the character in question, but it is also useful to write a description of your character in your papers. Simply acting as your character in scenes with other players is a reasonable start. Note that role-play is not a one-way avenue - a role is significantly easier to recognise if other players also acknowledge this role. This means that it is often much harder (and usually less well advised) to create a character of great power; it is easier to have other players acknowledge your character if they are interesting to interact with, or have particular quirks about them. For detailed role descriptions, new players can receive their papers in the Indexed Room of Memories - speak to the Librarian at the desk, who will provide the ability to create and edit them without charge. It is possible to edit these as many times as is necessary, and this is usually advised as one's role grows and develops.

For the sake of auditability, I would suggest to order the contestants in a random order, and then to run a single simulation; it is quite impossible to audit one hundred such simulations. If a random order were not feasible, one could order the contestants by the time of their first submission, or final amendment to the same.

Ah - an additional honourable mention, and that which I did observe, and intend as a strategy prior to the release of this quest, but had only been discovered and used by a single being (also Ledah) - who used it to marvelous effect. At the Gazebo of Equilibrium, one may observe of five pillars; each of which will cast a spell upon she who would click upon them. One of these shall cast freezecreatures upon oneself; one who did wish to train a moss would find that such a method would trivialise combat, as the frozen moss cannot consume its allies. Despite extensive use in the public eye, and many a log of combat, no others to mine knowledge have used this to this effect; well done again to Ledah for this accidental discovery.

I have sent thee the CTC for the coloured elemental, Chewett. Jakubhi, we shall await thy choice of the remaining.

And with the end of the 16th Anniversary I shall declare this contest closed. Results are in as follows: 1. Most votes in a single original post + 3. Most Untouchable - Chewett, with the following post; which had a single reply, with ten votes and an additional point for scoring more than its reply: 2. Most votes in a single reply post + 4. Most Savage - jakubhi, with the following post, scoring four votes and outscoring the post it did reply to, for a total of five points: Please post, in this thread, in order (Chewett/jakubhi/Chewett/jakubhi) as to the choice of creatures thou wouldst like to receive; from the four listed: Coloured Elemental, Coloured Winderwild, Coloured Priest, 16th Anniversary Elucubratie Notable mentions to Aelis and Ledah, scoring nine points each for these original memes: To Demonic God for posting sixteen times in this thread (MaGoHi had the second largest number of posts at eleven).

Many thanks for this quest, Demo; I would like the lockinchaos spellstone, if it please thee.

As part of the conversion from Flash, all NPCs were returned, and must now be defeated anew to access that which they do guard. In regard to the Wishes - I believe at some point in the eight years hence, all story-mode keys were removed, such that one would require the use of a key to obtain access to these scenes.

I note that there are two players who had satisfied the requirements for a coloured elemental at the time of quest completion - @redneck and @Lazarus - but who I have not yet received of the CTCs from yet. As I note that the requirement was achieved prior to the end of the Anniversary, I am able to exchange these moss for the coloured elementals with thee for this quest if so desired. edit: redneck has also turned in a Withermoss, and I have provided the coloured elemental in exchange.
