Happy birthday man! :D

Perhaps a coding a spell that only works on people from the HC top scores? x) Or I am complicating it too much?

Happy birthday Bulgar! :) I would congratulate you in game, but, well, you want to kill me... :D

Happy birthday! :)

OOC paragraphs are kind of a mood breaker. Can't you just let people believe you really hold a grudge against each other? :P

Dst has explained it well to you. As a man with affinity for research, it should be clear to you why we in Marind Bell value individuality and respect choices of others, not seeking to impose our own. Maebius' decision is a... Shady one. It had its consequences, because he isolated himself from the decisioning factor (on his own) of Marind Bell. But can we say he is a stranger to Marind Bell...? Heretic Archer is a creature from our homeland, ponder upon that. If you're so keen to strike, then strike. A conflict between Necrovion and Marind Bell is natural after all.

I agree with Soothing Sands. Some of these new unsuspected features really thrilled me, like public profile pages becoming impossible to hide anymore, but this one, although at first interesting, is I think a step in the wrong direction - or at the very list, in the opposite direction of where we were heading so far. The general philosophy of things not being served on a plate in MD is being contradicted with this list. Locate spell starts to lose its purpose, communication and overseeing everything becomes very easy... It takes away some flavor from our realm simply said. :) Didn't add anything new to what Soothing already said but wanted to say it anyway.

Happy birthday Chewbaca!

Well I did email you and the council few times... :P I was not responded - but no biggie, it is a spell just for fun anyway.

Princ Rhaegar 62639 Down with the bunny empire spell (making people shout stuff, like the dance spell). Can't find where it was said that I should get it, but here's the link about the spell details: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/13565-personal-request-month/?p=130213 Someone posted log of given wishes on the forums but can't find it.

Happy birthday muchaco!

Lot of the technicalities were already mentioned here, looking at the original torch competition (before Bob the tree's capitol introduction) it was very interesting, but it lacked reward system which made it pointless, and the scoring was very nontransparent and confusing. It was mentioned 'radar' feature will be implemented for the participants, so every player holding a torch will have his current location known by other people. That sounds pretty neat. I suggest at keeping it relatively simple like was the case at the start of it, rather than introducing many features that will just spam it. I'm not sure what is this illusion feature you guys are mentioning (in the other torch topic) that was planned to be implemented, it's making me uneasy. x)

Yes, I remember the topic, but this one has a different purpose: rather than brainstorming upon Torch's details, this topic wishes to rally support and receive green light from the admins for the Torch. Ideally, Torch would get a support and the admins would announce something along: "We hear you and wish to bring the competition back to life. We need to be carefull about X, X and X, yet we wish that this competition fulfills Y, Y and Y. After a public discussion on forums, for us to see community's opinion on how should this precisely work, we will implement it again."

There are too few of us, or at the very least, most of us are not doing anything particular. Let's build something happenings will revolve around. Torch competition with rewards system implemented (and not for them to stay on hold for years like the last time!) and simple mechanism for everyone to be able to give their part is one of the answers. It will stimulate mainland activity, people will start working together and will appreciate their lands more, this all stimulates realm's life itself. Perhaps Torch is not a fitting manifestation for the realm to revolve around in Mur's head, but we have been passive for several years. Let's change that. Who's with me? :P

Oooo, just noticed! Happy birthday (K)Ael! :) All the best!

Vice champion Lashtal had an interesting journey of his own. His group had some unpredictable fights. One included 5-round match of Lashtal against John Constantine. He won against MRAlyon in the semi finals: [log=Lashtal vs MRAlyon (Alyon's screenshots)] [/log]

And the winner is... Clock Master! Former leader of the Knights of the Bell and its Knight Commander, Clock Master represented Marind Bell through his champion journey, meeting Lashtal of Necrovion in the tourney finale. Here are some of his fight set ups: The Semi finals against No one: [log=First round against No one (draw)] [/log] [log=Second round against No one (draw)] [/log] [log=Third round against No one (Clock Master wins)] [/log] The finale against Lashtal: [log=First round against Lashtal (Clock Master wins)] [/log] (will add some more fights from others in the next post)

1 gc - Princ Rhaegar

If there is interest from No one and MRAlyon - yes, but it will not the trigger "3rd place reward" donated by the TKs because there weren't 16 participants. I can come up with something symbolic from my stash though.

Clock Master won against No one, so now we have Marind Bell versus Necrovion finale! :) Clock Master vs Lashtal Now we only need some introducing fanfare! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKB3DDaLswo&noredirect=1

Thanks for the kind words :) The second pair organized themselves fast, and Lashtal swam out as the winner. :) We are now waiting for the second finalist to earn the passage. Once the fights are over, I'll share few screenshots thanks to considerate participants.

The semi finals: Clock Master vs No one MRAlyon vs Lashtal

Group of people that care for you - family, group, etc. Spend time with them. Whatever is troubling you (and you can't really do anything about it), it is getting spammed by positive feelings in a company. Don't be too much alone with your thoughts.

The winner of Group 3 is Lashtal! :) I'll announce the setup and open the conversations by the end of the day. :)

The winner of Group 4 is MRAlyon! The winner of Group 1 is No one! Sorry for the delay, lots of people had problems with activity. Hopefully, soon we will have the winner of Group 3 as well.
