If those cards get accepted, they'll be probably the strongest reason for me to start unlocking the items. New obsession for collectors :D

MD spirits are fueled by solar energy :P Lucky for us, no night as of yet :))

Happy birthday guys!

Concept of sacrifice is not unknown to me, but whom do we present our offerings to grant us power over death and revival, and why gold? My question is more of a call for the official connection to be announced partially - not leave it like that "1gc cost of activation", rather than listing plausible interpretations. It should be better presented eventually, for it to be a proper part of MD culture. Eara stated the most of what I wanted to say now: The bolded part explains why the ritualistic part of the kill or revival is damaged, and in the world of symbols, ritual should remain strong. The myth that Chewie linked can be proper, if we link it with existing MD aspects, while in this case I think they await their creation?

Although it seems to me as a good idea that the kill/revive items get their requirements, I'm interested in the (lack of?) symbolical connection. You have an item that wants to swallow your gold before making a kill/resurrection?

(edit: adding player ID as requested) 62639 Uh, if only this was not requested during an exam period and in rush... :P Old Pergament - Abandoned "Military ways and beliefs" papers of an unknown magic duelist, too damaged and therefore uncomprehensible. Peculiar Ash Fractions - Remnants of dstized magic duelists. Glass fragments - Fragments of used up local voayeur's spy glass. Dusty Savelite cult icon - Old artefact from the past, depicting Savelfuser in one of his benevolent moments, probably thrown away during their prosecution. Wooden bowl - Lorerootian craft of simple design, used to feed young pet knators. Lots of teeth carvings remained as a testament of their ferocity. Mechanical sphere puzzle - Thrown away by a Golemus youngling, this sphere's quality of design is pure art, however the puzzle can frustrate an uneasy mind. Vial of tranquiling water - Extract from Marind's Roundabout fountain, told to calm even the most unsettled mind. Vial of arousing liquid - Extract from the fountain of dark vibrations. Angien feather relic - Some ignorant souls would say this is an angien feather, plucked while their holder was asleep, but this beautiful item is man-made. Vial of heretic blood - Collected by admirers of the rage and thurst for revenge of heretic archers, to use in their dark rituals. Mur: mostly unusable due to too high value. some are ok

The check for inactive clickable entry is also an effort made by a different player, and previous undeleted clickable entries do leave a trace that you need to look carefully...? Like the fact that you can access clickie entries with a password regardless if they went inactive or not. Just saying in case you need an excuse to make the feature available :P

One more thing to consider is the status of a worshipper. Let's say the protector role gets more powers (which I think it should), and one of his worshippers gets into real trouble. Protector has no interest to defend him, if the enemy is someone dangerous, not getting heat from somebody anymore is a small sacrifice not to disturbe the monotonous today. If we could accent the bond between the protector and the worshipper somehow... One extra thing I deem important: (I've put it in the spoiler box not to detter people from reading my long posts :P) [spoiler]Also, consider that requirements for an mp6 are pretty huge, especially in the world of today. If we could put an accent on the role of being an adept of somebody (and allow not being an adept of somebody along the way), in that way so that people appreciate the fact that player A is an adept of player B (not sure in which way it can be done, but let's have it as a goal for a start), then we could decrease the number of adepts required for one to become mp6. Several faction-based protectors, rather than a few world-wide protectors that have to be politicaly correct to everybody so they can maintain their status as a protector, but political correctness is not that much compatible with protection. [/spoiler]

Eh, sorry I couldn't make it, kind of ironic considering this is the first one I miss, and at the same time first time that I was voted as a category winner. A big thanks for the votes and the nomination, I hope I will provide with more quests and fun challenges in the next year. Now, my books-loving people... *raises an imaginary trophy while waiting for Grido's shipment* This is for you!! (here's the speech Kyphis)

I have decided not to prolong my term as MB king (few years ago before Chewy became the king, we made a protocol to check the kingship every 6 months and organize a new vote if necessary, based on previous experiences). A process that lasted a few months (candidacy, method of voting, voting, contacting admins, etc.) is finally ended and we have a new king after succesful elections! Nadrolski was the only candidate, in an election that had option to support Nadrolski's candidacy and an option "none of the above" practically against Nadrolski's candidacy. There was 1 null vote. 100% of regular votes were in favor of Nadrolski, so we have a new king. Long live King Nadrolski!

What's more fun is 25 000 wins and losses you got there, you've been really careful to set your perma balance :P

Who voted on the matter? Why didn't he get a temporary revival for Christmas, like all the prisoners get released (previous years anyway) to participate, etc.? Obviously some stuff happened behind the scene, but on the surface, it seems very weird for you to quit now, Dark Demon. You've been killed before, but you're in better position to manifest your vision of your gameplay now that you were before, why now?

I'm very glad you guys like the books, I hope they will enrichen your MD adventures in some form or another. :) I'll also thank Mur once again for allowing this set of rewards I requested, because it is not a standard thing at all, it brings me much joy to see those books in the realm.

The rewards have been given out, every participant received something - please post here if you haven't found your little something :)

Hypothetical situation of Azull becoming dissatisfied with skull digging process, and decides to whack the whole Necrovian excavation site staff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZrNDBkXIeg

Just want to add that it happens on a different computer I haven't used for MD as well (Chrome, not my profile :P), so it might be related to some specifics of MD accounts? Not sure does it help at this point, since Chewy recreated the situation, but just in case.

Merry Christmas people, Срећан Божић! :)

Each to his tastes, as far as I've noticed Heroes3 has the highest cult level, but the fact that you can use heroes as units in Heroes4 while having various options for leveling skills, makes it the top spot for me.

There are several authors working on books for Warcraft universe, which is a first reason why I don't want to go into such stuff. The story after Warcraft3 rapidly losses quality, the one used in WoW and such. Usually those books cover the scenes already told by previous Warcraft iterations, made after the products release or before? If it's after, then it's a bigger no-no from me. Of course, these are superficial thoughts developed via small clues, since you seem to like those Wacraft books, I would appreciate your experience share from the whole matter. In regards to Heroes4, I was indeed impatient, but that depended on numerous factors. I was originally introduced to heroes4 via skirmishes, rather than campaign, playing with some friends. Like I said, the ambient was nice indeed, and I did read lots of stuff there in my singleplayer (which was 99% of my gaming with Heroes), but in disconnected parts. The fact that someone made the story so "aside the road" makes me think they didn't give enough effort to it, normal initial reaction, I also had a feel the story didn't have continuity but that it was made up for the background/ambient reason depending of the circumstances - that may or may not be true, just remembering a feel. I was reading the plot for the scenarios, but it didn't play a big part in my gameplay, I was choosing scenarios with balanced play, where the computer would challenge, and where I would have the opportunity to develop my hero and army to see lots of fancy abilities and artifacts, etc. The combat gameplay was really rich for me. Story I was making up in my head, rather than enjoying the scenario plot line, seemed generic to feel good about it. Eventually, I found out Emerald Arcanix loves Heroes4 too, so we played in multiplayer a dozen games maybe, was quite a fun ride. And lastly, Heroes online lacks a lot of stuff, but it's fun in its own way. Still testing it, since there is a lot of people there, good opportunity for some non-computer battles, once I spend some time in PvP I will make some final conclusions about it. Not a serious game yet, but can be fun. @Rophs: I remember Emerald talking highly about Baldur's Gate, was on the edge of giving it a try myself :P

New universe, I've been playing Heroes online a bit... :D From the franchise, my favourite part is Heroes 4, that part has the best music too, even though the game is regarded as a failure by most of Heroes fans. Campaign was nice there, ambient was good, but I don't really remember the story, was not that imposing for some reason, maybe because your gameplay isn't that dependent of it, like in Warcraft3 for example where you have cutscenes all the time. Anyhows, custom game is what Heroes was all about for me.

Yeeey for reminder, I actually wanted to open up a similar topic again (forgot about this one). Some people promised to put up a list, but forgot to edit their lists later on... *cough* Peace *cough* Regarding lands, if any of you played Heroes of Might and Magic, I think you'll have an easy time comparing MD mainlands with Might and Magic factions (the story isn't that quality, but the gameplay is pretty nice, and has some common grounds with MD mechanics I guess, in combat especially, except that it's not a simulation, it's a turn-based strategy) It's a game of stereotypes, not that genuine, but might help us improve some areas by looking at similar things. :)

Tried safe mode (incognito?) - doesn't work. Tried resetting - doesn't work (although, both resetting and deleting cache just stops the wait/loading circle, like something broke the operation, so ultimately I have to close the Chrome - the aftermath is that it did some of the stuff the action was supposed to, like reset the homepage, etc., but the fact that I had to close the window makes me uneasy about how well the problem was solved indeed :P what I'm saying is, it doesn't work, but maybe it should work) Tried reinstalling - doesn't work (saves my old settings too, so it's like I didn't reinstall it) Any recommendations for fast minimal browers (need it only for MD, using Chrome for other stuff)? :P

Happy birthday Polish hussar!

And the mouse represents someone in particular or the general concept of Dst's prey...? :P Beautiful and yet scary place, if only you would apply such visualizations in the game itself, getting molested by you would be found much more fun by many, I bet :D I like it, too bad you didn't post it when the quest started, if there are more entries from other people, I will initiate the quest again.
