    Shantu reacted to Fang Archbane in a fragment of my broken mind   
    I just let my fate be decided by my raw instinct.

    I find that when i think too much (or at least, my broken version of thinking) I tend to pick "wrong".

    Wheras when i let my fate be decided by my gut, ive yet to "fail" to this day.

    So im probably not the most qualified to help you answer your question.

    But what my gut tells me is that maybe you should try to stop thinking.

    Maybe option C is the best one for now.

    Just let the wind guide you Murmur.

    Lets see where it leads.

    Shantu reacted to dst in Fairy Princess - my decided role   
    So I have decided I want to become a Fairy Princess. MD has dwarves, elves, idiotic people. Why not have a Fairy Princess.
    I also want to change my name to Piss Piss. And I will run around MD and sprinkle fairy dust on everybody. The fairy dust will itch so everybody will scratch like crazy.

    I will also have a familiar called Pumpkin. He'll be a twocorn (a mutated unicorn) and he'll have all the colors of the rainbow.

    He'll have golden horseshoes and a fluffy tail. And I will tie ribbons to his twocorns.

    Please help me become the Fairy Piss Piss.

    Helpful comments will be appreciated.

    Yours truly soon to be,
    Piss Piss

    And for this action, you lost the last of any respect i had for you.

    People are bidding for 1 use of the item. Then it will either be entirely useless or reset.

    Don't buy it, it's a con. I hope you are happy with yourself Fang.

    Shantu got a reaction from lashtal in MD Tutorial Reconstruction   
    Maybe it's just me, but it was the story and all the beautiful art that intrigued me in this game. However, I agree that a newbie (with other games in mind) will always choose the highest number like biermann said. I honestly don't remember how bad the waiting was, but it might have had its magic. Patience is a virtue and all that. I agree however that making it faster is probably a good idea. You still shouldn't be able to breeze through the story in 10 minutes.

    As for the fighting part.. it seems to be a good idea to tutor the players on it, but please don't make the story mode optional. It just seems to go against everything the game is built on.

    As I've told a few already I feel I should make it so it's not gossip or "secretive".

    Some of you may have noticed my absence from the game for a while, reappearing every so often. The reason behind this is because my Partner and I have been busy with other aspects of life.

    Just under two months ago we found out our tries had succeeded and that I am expecting. We have since been planning for the child and, get ready for it, our wedding. Yes, I am now a mother and bride to be.

    Due to these I will be online more over the coming months, as I draw closer to my maternity leave, but shall be busy sorting things out. That means I will be here, but may not answer so quickly!!

    The child is due around the 6th of April 2013, so only 8 months to go!

    As MD is considered one big family, I thought it would be nice to let you all know.

    (Any advice from mums and dads is very much appreciated by the way!! )

    ~Sasha

    Edit: Realised I put "Yes I am [b]not[/b] a mother and bride to be" :L

    Going back to my original question, and reason this topic started;

    Define a reasonable price for revival.
    [/quote]

    Here's another approach: your compensation for using your tool, for which you worked hard, freely on others, is the ability to revive anyone, gratefulness of players, and why not ability to befriend anyone, including enemies (or you could make them grovel before you ), etc. Isn't that worth more than 20 bloody coins, or any "price"? The most valuable things in MD are not material … I think.

    I`m gonna be direct here, i utterly detest the sound of someone attacking me! It plays a very important part for me as to why i spend most of my time at fenths press, where there is a sanctuary and i don't have to hear that irritating, disgusting, repulsive, loathsome sound.

    Its not at the level of annoying or uncomfortable anymore. I cant stand that sound, i simply cant, it pains me to hear.

    Especially after going idle in a non-sanctuary place, that sound as if tormenting me keeps on repeating because of that eternal bug.

    Its gotten to the point that i mute all sounds from my computer when i spend my time in non-sanctuary places, and i usually very much like to hear music when i play.

    I like this game, and i also like some of the ideas from the development focus. But this idea, for me at least, represents a very big improvement in game play and as stated above i would really like to see it happen.

    [quote]sorry DST, but facts remain the same. Duxie won the quest, through much hard effort and work. You tried to win the quest the first day it became active with no work. Quest was mine, and run MY way. You are just upset because YOUR way didn't work, due to there were more variables in the quest. All part of a quest don't have to be listed, especially ones that reveal spoilers, like saying you have to "convince the thief" before there was even known to eb a "thief". You could not have even know the grail was not at the site, because you never visited it. The first person to visit it was after all these "pm evidence" you have. If you don't like it, sorry you don't always get your way. This matter is closed, as the winner has been announced, and the quest has ended. You were never disqualified, you simply didn't complete the quest. If you have such an issue with it you are more then welcome to not compete in my "unfair" quests.[/quote]

    Let's start with this:
    [quote]you are more then welcome to not compete in my "unfair" quests[/quote]
    I never said your quest was not fair. I said YOU are not fair. That's a huge difference.

    [quote]Quest was mine, and run MY way.[/quote]
    So now I have to guessyour thoughts? Because again, you stated NOWHERE that you wish the quest to be solved in a certain way.

    [quote]You are just upset because YOUR way didn't work,[/quote]
    No, I am upset that you are unfair and you try to find loopwholes to avoid admitting I solved your quest in the first day (as you have said).


    I said I do not want the WP or the gold. I still don't want them. But I want that nobody gets them either. I was the first one that found samon and the grail. Not duxie. Not anyone else.

    LE: I just saw that you already gave the wp. This is your second ofence of giving WPs without a good reason.
    First one is giving WP as a gift to mcvities some years ago (in case you have forgotten).

    I am concerned. Not only because 2 of them, I consider my brothers (Maebius and Guillak I miss you). But also because this is a very bad trend. Death leading to more death. Will we allow that ? Can we just look at the murders and say "C'est la vie" (sic)?
    No. No. NO.

    [b]I, Passant the weak, Glass expert, declare war to death.[/b] And I invite all the people who believe that we, people, are stronger than death,[b] I invite all of you to join the cause[/b]. I know it may sound silly and pretentious. Because I am nothing and Death is stronger than anything. And yet I invite you to join te cause. I don't care if I look silly or pretentious. I care about trying something.

    [b]I invite you, Marind Bell citizens[/b] to join the cause. 3 of your citizens are dead already. Will you allow more to fall?

    [b]I invite you, No Man's land citizens[/b] to join the cause. If you don't care about the dead ones, sure you care about their corpse decomposition. Have you smelled it? It stinks in GoE! Don't allow that, it is YOUR territory.

    [b]I invite you, Loreroot citizens[/b] to join the cause. Forget you current issues, with your alliance stolen, with that Ma****** person getting you in trouble. How important will be those problems when more death arise?

    [b]I invite you, Golemus citizens[/b] to join the cause. Put a hold on your research for a bit. Forget those stones and those sand castles. Do you believe they will resist the wave of Death when it comes to strike you?

    [b]I invite you, Necrovion citizens to join the cause.[/b] I know, 3 of those dead are Marind Bell's... So what? Do you remember Khalazdad the white[url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/3162-khalazdads-vigil/page__hl__khalazdad__fromsearch__1"] calling for support[/url] when he was dead and yet acting in the tunnel of war? The community showed superb support and helped him fulfill his mission. Please show that the power of Khalazdad is in your veins, in your soul, and join the cause.

    [b]I invite you, citizens of the East to join the cause.[/b] One of your citizens has fallen yet. More will come. Whatever your feelings towards that citizen are, will you fall so down, that you will acccept death without a fight?

    [b]I invite you, citizens of the Underground[/b] to join the cause. I know some of you have a problem with one of the defunts. But can you accept your actions bring innocents down to death? Join the cause! And if your ennemy gets revived in the process, consider that as a collateral damage!

    And of course [b]I invite you, my fellow MDA citizens to join the cause[/b]. This is good happening for us all, archivists, quest makers, gossips expert, wise tress. I feel good stuff there!

    So, ok what now? How do you join the cause?

    I don't have a magical ritual.
    I don't have a magical item
    [b]I have much more than that, I have faith[/b].

    [i]I don't believe in God[/i]
    [i]I don't believe in Demi Gods[/i]
    [i]I don't believe in superman[/i]
    [i]I just believe in YOU[/i]
    [i]You and your power.[/i]
    [i]You all together that make US[/i]
    [i]The dream is over. Death is here? Let's chase her and scare her.[/i]

    Show your power please. [b]Start by stating that you refuse Death[/b]. Say it in all medias you want. Wherever you are.

    [i][b]We want them back[/b][/i]
    [i][b]WE WANT THEM BACK[/b][/i]
    That will be our motto.

    That will be the first step of our vigil, our ritual our pray our.... how ever you call it. I prefer to call it our war. Our first weapon is our voice that express our will.

    [i]I hope some day you'll join us[/i]
    [i]And the world will live as one[/i]

    Raise your voice while we prepair the next step. Your voice is our energy. We need that energy to start acting. We need to feel that our actions are supported by the community.

    [b]Next step will involve the dead themselves, showing that they care[/b]. Showing that they want to revive. [b]Showing that when the will of one joins the power of many, then anything may happen.[/b]

    Feel free to spam that topic with a simple "I join the cause". That is more energy to the cause.

    Take all the screenshots you want of my alts walking around. Can you prove their specific goal is to stalk you for my main? That's the thing here, you can't unless I specifically tell you. For all you know Eno may feels a strong connection to the MDA and enjoys walking around the area from time to time. The same goes for anyone's accounts. You have no idea why we use them for the way we do unless we specifically say so.

    If were going to start punishing people for moving around on alts, I'll send the council multiple emails daily and start trials against every single alt I see in MD. If someone has an alt online then it is without a doubt up to something fishy apparently.

    I guess soon we'll get to see if the council would punish someone solely based upon assumptions.

    [quote name='Kiley' timestamp='1325465447' post='99324']
    Upon accepting the position as guild leader I was given full power over how the guild should be run and have acted accordingly. I do not have to go to the "land leaders" in regard to the decisions I make. I would also point out that at no time did any "land leaders" approach me about my choice to bring Azull into the guild. I woke to find him jailed and not even a pm in my box. The truly sad part behind all of this lies in the fact that Azull and I have worked many months to develop a level of trust and cooperation between lands traditionally divided. Months of work that has been washed down the drain by a rash act that lacked diplomacy and tact. I am more than disappointed in how this has been handled and would have hoped that yrth would have spoken with ME personally before jailing Azull.
    [/quote]

    First Kiley as a GG leader you of all players should know the land rules and know that a necrovian citizen is NOT allowed in Golemus.
    as a land leader you are also expected to know better and should have know your action had a much bigger issue that you say.
    It is very disappointing you decided by your self you know better how a land should accept a player into a land.

    The same could have been said that you should have contacted me or the other land leaders before letting a necrovian into Golemus
    you say land leader did not approach you and same in reverse.

    [quote name='Passant the Weak' timestamp='1325479029' post='99338']
    Going slightly offtopic: I agree with Paracelcus. Beyond the retired king thingy, there is a very strange behaviour of Golemus as a land: they jail someone, because he was invited in a GG guild.... That attitude, puts a negative light to GG in my eyes. If they had an issue with him joining that guild.... well, couldn't they have him off the guild?
    [/quote]

    He was told by a citizen of Golemus that he may get jailed. ALL it take is to read the land rules to know that he was not acceptable as a citizen of Golemus
    So far only 1 player has been jailed that is not accepted as a citizen so your argument of the strange behaviour is mute as this is a single case of this happening.


    [quote name='lashtal' timestamp='1325503329' post='99366']
    Since Yrthilian's position is somehow border-line, since the decision to jail Azull was taken accordingly to the "land leaders", since neither Yrth nor the "land leaders" spoke with Kiley (who is the Fusioneers leader)...

    I'd ask the "land leaders" to state clearly:

    1 - who they are;
    2 - why should other Golemians acknowledge their leadership (are they elected, chosen by the king, self-declared?);
    3 - how do they relate with the king and the guild leaders;

    and most of all: how would they explain this lack of diplomacy towards the Fusioneers leader.
    [/quote]

    First how little you know before asking such questions tut tut tut
    it again is kiley is just as guilty for lack of diplomacy as you say.
    As a land leader you have the right to run your alliance as you wish but when it come to matter of the LAND you don't have the right to decided by yourself.
    it is that simple.

    answer to the above
    1. read the forums and you would know who the leader are it has been mentioned many times by me and the others. stop being lazy
    2. LOL again lazyness has failed you here too. read of the past and you will have your answers.
    3. wow really you should actually read the forums. your lack of information is what blinds you to the happening of a land.

    the same as the lack of diplomacy from the Fusioneers leader.

    Look it is like this.

    Keily has the right to bring in members she feel FIT with the alliance.
    But it is also expect that she will not bring in someone into the land that is a know hostile
    it is also expect as a land leader and leader of the Guild that she will abide by the rules of the land (in this she has broken them)
    My action that i took was not as a king but as a player with the power and requested to do so.

    Yes there was a big breakdown in communication and from my point of view and from what i seen
    action was needed to be taken quickly. The jailing is just part of what the tool does.
    This is more an issue between Necrovian and Golemus from a diplomatic point of view.
    The issue of king.ex king is also mute. as per murs response.

    You know this whole issue would never have happened if one player had read and abide by the land rules.

    I am posting here before I read so as I post JUST my views.

    Yrthilian is [b]no longer king[/b]. Therefore he has no higher authority other Golemus than that of Quas over the Undergrounds. He may be seen as a spiritual leader still, but he [b]does not [/b]have the authority to say who is allowed in or out of an alliance in Golemus. He has that right, but he declined it. As far as this matter goes you have done nothing more than abuse your powers and made your retirement nothing more than a simple lie.
    As far as I see it, you have retired, that does not mean that you still must hold the fort and throne whilst a new king is elected.

    You abandoned your land as their leader, and now you decide to dictate who they may have in their alliances? Ridiculous.

    I am [b]fully[/b] on Azull's side here.

    Shantu reacted to Yrthilian in Retired King abusing power he no longer should have   
    well looks like someone is trying to cause issues beyond what they are AGAIN.

    So lets get down to it.

    1. I announced i was stepping down but this would not happen until a replacement was in place.
    2. My actions where taken not just of me making the decision.
    3. The leader (be it ex or not) decided they would join Golemus WITH OUT checking with land leaders first. Just because i am not king does not mean i am not a land leader.
    4. As you can see Azull was warned of possible jailing and still choose to stay in the alliance and still didn't communicate with land leaders.
    5. I will admit i missed the announcement from mur on the use of the items.
    6. a week went by for very good reason before taking action i was away on holidays
    7. A week went by and Azull still choose to stay in the land without permission from ALL land leaders
    8. Alliance leader Keily does not have over all say as to whom can become a land citizen and should have communicated to land leaders (this is a matter for the land leaders)

    I find it both annoying and frustrating that that so many assumptions are being made in this matter.
    As mentioned i took the actions after making sure land leaders where ok with this.
    I should not be explaining this to anyone out side of Golemus.
    The ones starting this sort of forum attack (yet again are making this personal)
    Know this. Be i a king or land leader or just a citizen i will take every action i can that i have the power to
    use and will stop necrovian citizens becoming a Golemus citizen. You made your choice.

    I have and always will be agents necrovian gaining Citizenship of the land i love and protect.
    this has always been how i am. I have on occasion let and even help necrovian around the land
    but because of recent activities and yes Peace you are one of them i will do everything to be sure
    Necrovians will be thrown out of Golemus. I know i cant do it 24/7 but i will do it when i am online.

    I though we had started to gain trust between the land and i was starting to allow necrovian citizens into
    Golemus but this action and the even it is part of show that trust is not something that can be had between Golemus
    and Necrovian if this is how they intend to do business between our lands.

    In regards to the kingship items. The are still in my possession while i type this reply
    As acting king until FINAL decision is made i will keep holding them. There is a way for Azull to get out of jail
    if the necrovian citizens choose to find it and use it so be it. AT lest then it is the land showing defence for their people
    something that is lacking a lot thies days.

    Now i am loosing track of the argument ans tire of this so read on and do as you wish.
    If MUR or the Council decide i should be punished AGAIN for defending my land so be it
    but i will keep defending it in every way i can.

    edit:

    just yo add i speak personally of the blocking of necrovians from Golemus
    If the land leader back me on this all the better i do not and will not speak on their behalf.
