Necromancer Mortis

So, Dragual, what price do you ask for the pass papers? I am sure I don't have to convince you to sell them. My reasons for wanting them are obvious, I should think.

Dragual, you disappoint me! To think I even liked you and called you a friend! And I thought you sold the leash?

People outside of Necrovion couldn't use force even if they wanted to, because they have to give up their weapons upon entering (with pass papers).

And Katt, why did you go with him? You must have known nothing good would come from it. We all warned you yesterday. *shakes head*

Sorry but in my opinion none of the prices were high enough to be worth my time.

I am willing to bank syntropic dust, sand, sawdust, flowers and timeless dust.

I can of course only do one for each person and will continue to do so until either I wish to start collecting my own which is currently unlikely.

I will charge 1sc per 100 stored for this service.

Please pm or post on the forum if interested.

I have twice tried to cut down a tree using both a Woodcutter's and Apprentice axe. Each time I have recieved the branches but not the sawdust despite having no sawdust in my inventory.

I find it fascinating that we all have approached these submissions in our own unique way. When the contest was first announced I did enquire whether we were to do a classic newspaper article (who, what, where, why, why) or if subjective articles were acceptable. I think Fyrd’s openness to accepting either method shows a lot of flexibility.

It is hard to separate the persona of the avatar from the persona of the forum poster at times, but I did attempt to achieve that goal. My forte is in research, flavored with my own impressions of the avatar in-game that I write about. I admit it makes for subjective articles as dst points out but also contend I do try hard to show rather than tell about the person I write on. Sometimes that might “pretty” someone up more than others might like, but never to the point of making them unrecognizable.

Others have submitted purely factual articles that detail the who but not perhaps the why. They provide valuable nuggets of information and illuminate deeds that might otherwise be obscured by time.

Both methodologies are valid and leave it up to the reader to decide what portion of any article is relevant to themselves. Certainly critiques should not be based on the mechanical aspects of the presentations but rather on the dynamics of them.

As some in game know I rely on a screen reader to play this game. This is because my personal real life world is reliant on aural rather than visual input. It tends to flavor the way I react to others when their words are divorced from the nuances supplied by tonal changes. I have to be extra vigilant that I do not read into the cold equations of verbiage any unintended slights or slurs. I’ve been told this is not a problem unique to the visually challenged, that most people can misconstrue the written communications of others. I will try hard to express courtesy of other’s viewpoints and request the same in return.

For me this particular writing contest has proven to be as much an internal journey of exploration as it has been a method of reaching out and appreciating some of the others that share their time in game with me. I cannot thank Fyrd enough for offering that opportunity.

Marvolo is a veteran player in MD who is generally friendly to new players. He started out unrelated to lands or alliances and had no intention to be until he met Khalazdad and so entered Necrovion with a few other and became a key member of the Necrovion Sentinel, however Marvolo left soon after and joined Loreroot but quickly returned after Khalazdad adopted him and made him Prince of the Sand. Over a year after he left for Loreroot once more and joined the (now disbanded) Savelites and gained the power to change the Weather at a whim. After the Savelite were disbanded he joined the Children of the Eclipse, staying a Loreroot citizen and remains there to this day. He is now the Census of Loreroot and thus is responsible for dealing with players who wish for Loreroot Citizenship.

Mortis has been a familiar face in MD since 2008. Originally as green as it came when he started he hasn't changed much beyond Mind Power and has developed a standard anti-hero rp although he initially attempted to be something of a villain until he was reprimanded and threatened with banning. For a long time Mortis avoided alliances seeking to remain neutral despite invites to both Necrovion and Loreroot, despite this he later joined and became leader of the Woodcutter's Guild which he immediately converted to a socialist system which has since backfired due to a large number of it's members having either quit or spend most of their time idle. He is the current spokesperson and tool manager for the guild but spends most of his time rping. Nevertheless if asked hes is quite willing to get resources for a player - for a small fee of course...

The game mechanics have improved etc. But the RP has plummeted. I also joined mainly for the RP, these days where it used to be in almost overwhelmingly realistic in all the sanctuaries and a few other spots I can honestly only think of three places I would go to RP.

You're either being deliberately obtuse or missing the point entirely. Life is trivial, live with it. Most of life's joy comes from trivial things, why should this not be so with role-playing when it holds a mirror to so many aspects of life?

We obviously have different definitions of good RP, for me a good RPer is someone who starts of somewhere between rubbish and moderate skill wise then visibly develops over time.

I also fail to see how lands qualify as RPing groups in anything but the very loosest sense.

Windy's Pub used to be something of an RP group, an RP group is a group who congregate together for the purpose of RPing, this isn't the case with the lands.

That's rather the point, Xrieg. We're after suggestions, not putdowns.
