My only question here is thus (Although i do agree with this, it sounds fun, if nothing else), what do people that have no higher authority do? If, for example, i wanted a Title, who would i go to? I belong to no land, and im perfectly happy as such. What options do Aimless Wanderers have?
I will present step by step ..something.. that will start to take shape slowly and will be a major shift in how the social structure, tags and roles will be acknowledged as official. This is intended as a major thing in MD, but one that i am hoping to complete how things are functioning now and not change them too much.
Roles/tags are earned through your constant activity and sometimes awarded on special occasions.
Currently there is nothing except the tag and description and occasionally an announcement that makes the role official...what else could it be..my, or councils "word" is enough. Well...here is where things will updated a bit.
At some point in MD history, the Council operated by requireing just two votes of its members. In case no other member objected to the voted matter. Keep this in mind for now.
I want to delegate council/my authority of giving roles/tags to people such as land leaders (Kings and Queens) and maybe to people that hold well known roles for a very long time. It is difficult to explain what i want to do, but the concept is simple. I will try to detail it slowly, by answering your questions and soon i will provide more detailed info.
Tags/Roles will be called Titles from now on. A Title can be granted by a higher authority, such as your King, plus one additional authority, for a start that will be myself.
Remember the "MD Diploma / Fancy Legacy Box" topic i posted recently, where i wanted to create fancy documents to send out to people and prepare seals and all the associated materials? It received a negative vote from the community (at least in my opinion), mainly because there are other more important things to do and because there are no funds to do such a "crazyness" at this point. However I will do it, in an adapted way.
For now we will discuss this as if they will be VIRTUAL, its simpler that way for now.
Lets try to see if you understand the "layout/structure" of how titles will be granted:
Me, Muratus del Mur, -> insert fancy titles here <- will create a limited number of pre-signed blank documents that represent my authority as one of the leaders of the lands in MD. I will give these documents to other high authority characters in MD, for example the kings or other important roles. Now...that means i am blindly trusting the person i am giving such a document to, that they will use it wisely. Lets say a King holds such a blank title document. This king will be able to fill in details about a title he wants to give, only under the scope of his own authority (only matters that involve his own land). LHO leader holding such a blank title document, could fill it only with a title under his own authority...and so on.
So far this is clear? makes sense for you? questions?
These titles once signed by both me (already) and the second authority (king,important role,etc) will be given to a player, granting him that title FOREVER. My intention is that these titles will be created in such a way that they will never "expire". This is same concept as the King crown medal. Once you become king, you receive that crown, and it will remain yours forever regardless if you are still a king or not. In the same way, these titles will remain yours forever, without an expiry date. What will happen if two people have two conflicting titles? ...here is a big change... BOTH are valid, but the person with highest active days/activity percentage (or other factors maybe?) will have higher power, controlling the grated role/title.
Ok..don't panic, this involves a lot of things, i am aware of the majority of them...and i am aware things will change, but i see this change as a complementary thing to how my vision about md is. Activity defines your influence...dead and forgotten people should not be able to actively USE titles, but should still hold them forever because at some point they earned them.
THIS WILL APPLY ONLY FROM NOW ON....this is totally unfair, i know, but giving titles backwards it will be a total mess. However..any ancient role that becomes active again might receive his "Title" document. I might do an exception to king roles because they are very important and very few..maybe one or two other roles, but thats it.
I said to consider these docs "virtual" .. maybe i will make items for them for now...but i want you to know that i am planning to make them actual printed documents (signed, fancy paper, gold finish and all the bells and whisles), and have them ready before this new concept will be fully integrated.
This subject is open for debate, i will listen to both pro and contra opinions, but i will "fight" for this to happen, even if it requires significant sacrifices. I am however prepared to change my mind if somehow there are aspects of this that will prove to be to stupid or unrealistic...so feel free to challenge this matter if you don't agree to it...but also state your support if you like it. (Hearing positive opinions will make me do things faster and better :P )
gamesites200 site is down (or at least has been since probably 10pmCST last night. Left the tab open to try again this morning in case it was just a small maintenance thing, but I'm still getting the error that the website is offline (error 522). Going to try it again this evening to double check, again.
http://imgur.com/6gb3uQv -link to image of error
http://imgur.com/rB41XBf -still down this morning (1/14).
update: Still down 1/15.
*edit summary: fixed typo's & added link to error image, daily edits to update status.
There has, and always will be a distinction between offical roles. Just because a player can do something, doesn't mean they are allowed to do so.
As a player I offered someone a morph for free. They didn't reply to me for a number of days, I believed they had left game so I gave this item to someone else.
After a number of days they came back and requested the morph. I told them that I had already given it away and wished them good will. They then asked me for "PERMANENT clicky coding access and to ask Mur to give me a quester pack" (spellings corrected, content static)
The Morph was from my personal collection, While I can create as many morphs as possible I do not do this as that would be an abuse of power. Both of the secondary items items are not something I would ever do as its an abuse of power. I suggested to this player that the coding access can be obtained freely by requesting it and proving its good use (after 3 months if it isnt used well it will be removed).
After this they spent some time demanding rewards for various accomplishments they had performed ingame and being offensive as I wouldnt give them coding access or anything they asked for.
----
What people dont realise something is, Just because I have the power to do something, doesnt mean im allowed to. Any times when I have freely given away things is because I myself has earnt that and have the right to give it away. I cant give you coding access "Just because" or because you insult me, You need to earn these.
This applies to all offical roles, Grido cant ban people becuase he doesn't like them, he has to have a valid reason. When people request things you need to think of a valid reason for that person doing it, that fits with their limits of their powers.

[12/01/14 21:09] *Chewett*:No matter how much you hate them, you cannot argue they have done well.
[12/01/14 21:10] *Chewett*:Sadly Mur stopped pushing MD a long time ago, and its only because they have kept it going is that its still here.
[12/01/14 21:10] *Chewett*:Every single offical event in the past couple years has been majorly organised by them.
[12/01/14 21:10] *Chewett*:Since i became a coder i have had the pleasure to work with them.
[12/01/14 21:10] *Chewett*:They are without a doubt the only reason MD is alive today. And these people deserve this award, not me.

Winners received medals and will soon receive trophies.
Turning Free Credits link at the top into red and make it say how many active links are still to be voted on, just like Announcement link when there are new announcements. This could remind people to vote more often and help turn non-voters into voters which would help MD get higher position on voting sites and bring more new people. After all nobody can resist to click red link.
Personally, I think it's a really cool idea, and even cooler to be able to have something physical related to MD.
Financially, I have to say no.
The "find the middle-ground" part of me says... start small. I don't know if or what current land leaders have in their real-life possession to represent MD, but there are some ideas that can be taken from the big idea and built around, such as the wax stamp. That's the one that really would be something special to me. For little to nothing (if you know how to work wood and/or have access to anything to carve out the stamp part) you could make these yourself and send them out, only real price would be the shipping involved. Also, if the king ended up keeping it, instead of passing it on, then you wouldn't be out the expense of purchase, just the time it took you to make and whatever shipping is. The wax... well, that'd be between you and the ruler to decide who purchases that I think. Some players are well funded, where as others are not. MD/You could help out who couldn't afford to purchase the wax themselves, but encouraging them to make that purchase allows for them to personalize that part of their kingly stamping/sealing documents ability.
So far as the King specific stamp, for regular ink, i know those can be purchased US for maybe 5 dollars. Unsure of the cost of UV specific stuff, as I've never dealt with it.
I also like the idea of the papers but for now, I can't think of a cost-effective way to do this, other than building a sharable document, and they can print them off as needed on whatever type of stationary/paper they choose.
All in all though, I really do like the idea, but with as small as MD is right now, i'm just having a very hard time justifying the expense. If none else, it might be best to keep it in the "when we get big again" pile.
**edit, I was typing this as Mur posted and didn't see the post til after i posted this. sorry.

[05/01/14 04:08] :Intrigue raises a brow and thinks for a moment [05/01/14 04:10] Intrigue:One day.... there was a happy little frog [05/01/14 04:10] Intrigue:he hopped along merrily, ribbiting all the way around the the reeds in the pond he called home. [05/01/14 04:11] Intrigue:One day, while he was hunting for some food, there rang out a ginormous boom! [05/01/14 04:12] Intrigue:the little froggy was scared out of his mosquito sized brain and took off hopping like mad in several directions all at once. [05/01/14 04:12] Intrigue:Now, normally, when a little froggy hops away, they hop in one direction... forward. [05/01/14 04:13] Intrigue:This poor little froggy though, he was hopping left and right and to and fro, and unknown to him, he just wasn't going anywhere at all. [05/01/14 04:13] Intrigue:Of course, all this hopping, and not getting anywhere, just made him all the more obvious to a strange little girl who liked to scoop up froggies and take them home. [05/01/14 04:14] Intrigue:That was the beginning of this poor little froggy's unluck streak. [05/01/14 04:14] Intrigue:not only did the little girl take the poor little froggy home, but she kept him there in a box that smelled of old rotten socks. [05/01/14 04:15] Intrigue:All night, the little froggy wriggled around in this box, looking for a way out. [05/01/14 04:15] Intrigue:Eventually, he grew tired, and fell asleep. [05/01/14 04:16] Intrigue:While he was sleeping, the little girl opened the box, and thinking the frog had died, she took it outside and dumped it out. [05/01/14 04:16] Intrigue:Well, little froggy was so exhausted, he just laid there. [05/01/14 04:17] Intrigue:Then... it began to rain. But not just regular rain. Big huge drops the size of buckets! [05/01/14 04:18] Intrigue:The poor little frog was swept away by the flood of rain into a feild. [05/01/14 04:19] Intrigue:Just as quickly as it started, the rain stopped, and the little frog looked around, wondering how far he was from home. Unfortunately, froggy's are very short, so... all he could see was grass. [05/01/14 04:19] Intrigue:He hopped and hopped and hopped, but alas, he was just plain lost. [05/01/14 04:19] Intrigue:Then... he hopped right into what he thought was a very furry tree. [05/01/14 04:20] Intrigue:It turned out to be a cow. The cow didn't care for being hopped into, and SPLAT! dropped a cowpie right on the little froggy. The end. [05/01/14 04:20] Rophs: *frowns* Poor little frogy. [05/01/14 04:20] Rophs:I'll tell one now, give me a topic! [05/01/14 04:21] Intrigue:he had a bad case of unluck *shrugs* [05/01/14 04:21] Intrigue: *thinks for a moment* Grass.

[05/01/14 04:23] Rophs:We are giant, the tiny men are normal, and the real tiny men are simply too small to be seen. [05/01/14 04:23] Rophs:To a miniman a blade of grass is taller than deathmarrow. [05/01/14 04:24] Rophs:With every footstep one might crush up to a hundred minimen. [05/01/14 04:24] Rophs:Some people think that we grew from these minimen. [05/01/14 04:25] Rophs:The legend tells that a miniman once stood on top of a blade of grass and hung off in such a way that his arms streched to be very long. [05/01/14 04:25] Rophs:He streched his legs in the same way [05/01/14 04:26] Rophs:Then his body [05/01/14 04:26] Rophs:Then his neck [05/01/14 04:26] Rophs:Thus, the first tiny man was born [05/01/14 04:26] Rophs:We're not sure what tiny men streched on to become normal men though [05/01/14 04:27] Rophs:But we're pretty sure that [05/01/14 04:27] Rophs:hmm.... [05/01/14 04:27] Rophs:We don't think we can grow much more. [05/01/14 04:27] :Rophs nods [05/01/14 04:27] Rophs:That is how I might exist. [05/01/14 04:27] Rophs:Any others?

[05/01/14 04:36] Change:He was watching the grey clouds in the sky, wondering why they never moved. [05/01/14 04:36] Change:As he was watching, someone else walked towards him and sat down beside him. [05/01/14 04:37] Change:This someone looked at the man, and wondered about what the man was thinking about. [05/01/14 04:38] Change:After trying to figure it out for awhile, the person looked at the clouds and began to wonder why they were gray. [05/01/14 04:39] Change:This went on for several hours, with new people sitting down beside the man and wondering about things like the clouds, the tree, the grass. [05/01/14 04:40] Change:Then, the man got up. [05/01/14 04:40] Change:"I'm hungry", he said. [05/01/14 04:40] Change:Everybody sitting by the tree groaned. [05/01/14 04:40] Change:The end [05/01/14 04:41] :Rophs chuckles [05/01/14 04:41] Rophs:On to the Maple then? [05/01/14 04:41] Intrigue: *smiles and nods* That story made me hungry...

Great :D That is why I do not really care if the mistakes are being corrected. After all, the hidden purpouse of this game is to get people learn romanian language. ^^
Wow.... That's all i can think of. I hope I'm reading this wrong and it's some other reason that you're leaving, not because of a murmas present you didn't get. I sat there all morning at the GoE and watched confused santa hand out gifts to people, and yes, it's my own fault I didn't get one (because I'm not a "me next" kinda person), but I was more than happy to be amused at just sitting and watch others scramble and clamor to be "next". Yeah, sure, it may be a bit of a disadvantage in a way, because i don't have the coolest or neatest or most powerful stuff, but i'll get mine my own way in due time.
Good luck to where ever you chose to go from here Tom.
How about... Marbles! Now that i've thought of that, it's gonna be stuck in my head. Marind Bell folks, don't be surprised /offended if I call you a marble, i loves marbles :)

I'm sorry to hear about your departure. If this is over Christmas, are you sure you've got the right spirit for the holiday? It's a time of giving...of love and kindness...-not- getting.
I didn't see Santa this year. Am I sad about it? Yes, but not because I didn't get something. Because I get joy out of watching him give things to others.
Is there a lot of greed and selfishness in MD? Yes, but not from Chewett or the others that spend hours working on MD. They really have a thankless job.
[quote name="Tom Pouce" post="148330" timestamp="1388542471"]
one give in is ownway, but is said to be greedy and selfish ... to not be content when the good dont come back around[/quote]Tom, Your numerous PM's complaining to me why you didnt get a creature, that you deserved one, and that its not fair did lead me to say you were selfish. Many people didnt get a creature from confused santa, As I told you I didnt either and I was there when he was giving them out, I didnt ask for one as I dislike begging.
If you are leaving because you didnt get a creature from confused santa, Then thats sad. I get quite cross when BFH, the council and I put so much effort into making Christmas fun and a couple of people complain that they didnt get what they wanted.
I am sorry to call you selfish, but those people who just complain that they didnt get a creature really infuriate me. We spent a lot of time and it boils down to you not getting your creature. Thats exceptionally ungrateful and yes, selfish and greedy. If thats your opinion then in my view, you dont deserve a christmas creature.
To sum it off, Yes, I was the mean person who called you selfish. I am sorry but your ungrateful nature and complete disregard for all the work we put it, to complain to me about not getting the creature made me upset and angry. I wish you the best and hope you reconsider leaving but am still annoyed that you complained so much about a free gift without thanking anyone for all the work they have put into making Christmas fun.

I dont make this post to demean or insult, I make it because quite honestly a large proportion of MD apparently doesn't give a damn that there are people working really hard behind the scenes to produce all these events and keep them running. And this is not to get thanks either, all I would like people to do is have a little think before they complain about something rather than thinking entirely about themselves. Santa wasn't online 24x7. We are sorry, But did you know that santa was there quite a large chunk of time and he was, SPOILER, only played by two people this year(No, not me). Maybe after you have thought a little bit about the work that has went into getting this all ready you may start to see my viewpoint, Or maybe im just a bastard who hates everyone. Good Day MD, you never cease to amaze me.
clickable items that are currently in the scene and are not used, won't be part of this system. This system can only work with new clickables added from now on. The "old clickies can be programmed only in the old way, either by md coder or made into a public clicky and allow md script on it.
There won't be a problem to flood a scene with too many clickies because i am counting on the good intentions and common sense of the people that will have access to such tools. When we are talking about such tools we are talking about people that really want to achive something nice, not to destroy or abuse things. This is a very rare breed of players other "games" don't know about :P
Turning an existing part of the scene into a clickable is possible by adding an identical drawing over the exact same spot..its a bit of a hack, but works just fine.
The way i see this work is that a group of people will do artworks, an other group will do the clicky coding and placement, and these two groups will work together with quest makers to build really cool quests. I might sound utopic..but i think this will actually work. Of course it is possible just for one person to do all of these , like both drawing the clickies, placing them in the scene, and designing a nice quest..but there are very few that could do that.
Also, these clickies can be limited to show just for the people that start a certain quest, so they could be set so that they won't all show up by default. This is how i made autumn2050 clickies, they only show up for those that work on that quest and later will only show up for those that participate in it.
