*coughs* I suggest assigning specific people to watch certain areas, making note of when and how the letters change. Then, when it is time, gather the information together, shake it up and see what pattern falls out. Being the little analysis geek I am, I could not help but make that suggestion.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke, "Profiles of The Future", 1961 (Clarke's third law)

I understand that punishing the many for the actions of a few, is often the reality of situations like this. However, this punishment will result in fewer players. That is a result no one wants. There must be a better way to stop bug abuse. Shrinking the legitimate player base is an unwise course of action, in my humble opinion.

I know most of the more experienced players probably have more sophisticated reasons for disliking the cooldown. But here's the n00b perspective: I'm weak. I need to fight to get stronger. Fighting uses AP. When I get killed/drained and out of AP, I can't move or re-charge. The only way to protect myself is to log off for a regen cycle so I can get AP for an escape. So you say "Ten minutes is one regeneration cycle. Why not just wait for two cycles and 20 minutes?" I say because, frankly, that's enough time for me to boot up Civ IV and get two cities going. Then I'm not coming back to MD till I've won a land war. LOL Perhaps we could compromise with Mur at ten minutes?

I am slowly developing my character's healing skills through RP. I am doing so by linking her abilities to the principles she is strongest in and her past knowledge. She makes mistakes because she doesn't know what she's doing (Marvolo glows green because of her. Poor guy). But it's helping me develop the character as well as develop relationships in the RP with other characters. I'm not doing this because I want to gain spells or anything. I'm just doing it because it seemed a logical place for my character to go. I think you will do ok. It's difficult at first to find your niche. But just keep talking to us all and something will click. *smiles* We n00bs gotta stick together. PS. Experimenting with alternates is what I did during story mode to keep myself from dying of boredom. Just remember, you can't delete an account (afaik), so those e-mail addresses are used up once you use them. Save the good addresses for good characters.

I remember [i]Ghost Busters[/i]. The Traveler was the means of destruction - The Destroyer. And The Destroyer's shape was determined by those it set out to destroy. In the case of the movie... "It's the Stay-Pufft marshmallow man." Something similar here perhaps? A link to Khalazdad's "destroyer" and The Traveler might exist. But then again, I'm just a n00b playing at a guessing game. *smiles*

Drunk men (preferably shirtless) and lots of chocolate. If there was nothing else good in the universe, I would still be a happy girl. Hello, Spellmaster. Welcome!

And here I thought I was so special getting that invite Hello, Vik! Nice to see another new face.

I'm new. However, I am also an editor (IRL) and would love to help polishing the lecture transcripts. What better way to get to know the community than to get involved up to my eyelids?

Thank you for the welcome. I look forward to drinking with, stealing from and eventually slaughtering many of you. *heads over to the University for some learnin'*

Hi! I'm doing the happy dance because I found the forum! It's the little things...
