I also agree that the Council's decisions should be transparent in a way, not themselves. But that brings a problem with personal letters people want to keep private when they're mailing them, will that be brought to that hypothetical forum as well?

Since this is a subject of no material gain, I doubt anyone would operate significant number of alts to influence the vote (other than the Council itself to get a better image, but I doubt that too). Admins can check who specifically voted, right? If most of the voters are active older accounts, then we can safely (more than before) assume that it is a legit vote.

Fresh Rusty - minimum bid: 3gc Fresh Soulweaver - minimum bid: 2gc Has no deadline, once a legit bid is made, others have 1 day to make a higher bid. If none, the creature is sold.

Okay Ignnus, we are settled We'll exchange codes via forum PM or something. This topic can be closed

You saying Dst's forum avatar is a lolcat? On top of her in game avatar being a clown? I think Dst's reaction will come out something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E84VqqCPI7w

Happy birthday

Eons dots manifest a certain depth that has given us many nights of ponder upon the cognition of their full extent. Certainly "." is an unmatched quote of the year.

Torch competition?

Seems only Loreroot and Necrovion are able to bring successful votes so far.

Rusty is acceptable (as far as I know it is more valuable than a soulweaver on the market). I will leave the period for people to try to outbid Ignnus until 22nd of December (would do sooner, but due to some exams I find this date appropriate), if you Ignnus don't have problems with it.

Happy birthday Witch Doctor!

Regarding coins... Hmm... I will have to set the minimum price to be considered at all would be 2 gold coins, because regular items have a "value" of 1 gold coin, when a miracle happens that the owner wants to sell his item. This one is usable, has a function. Minimum price to be considered means that I would rather look for a better offer, but that eventually I may be broken and accept it, or even refuse it. Minimum price that I will surely accept goes from 3 gold coins.

I don't mind the chattering, but yeah, I guess leaving room for actual bidding would make sense. To solve this issue at least in short term sense, I am not interested in those screenshots because, as Tom guessed good, I've already visited those locations number of times. Nor really any other location. Would trade information for information, rather than something material for information.

Hmmmm... Well services do sound interesting... On temporary basis. As long as you are doing your side of the bargain, the papers are in your possession with verbal insurance from me that I won't go annoying on requests (something simple once a month) or wanting to cancel the agreement just because I don't feel like it anymore or see profits elsewhere. You (in general) give me the ITC code of the item in case you go inactive (where I would return them to you once you become active again). That would be some kind of insurance for both sides, that the agreement will be respected. Now, the services I would find interesting... They can be very simple. As Ackshan brought up, perhaps another perception on a matter related to me, or someone who would inform me of average day happenings in Magic Duel since I am usually idling whole day, or something similar as that that could benefit on both directions due to often interaction. After a while, we can pre-determine that, the papers would become your full property and I will stop 'annoying' you This sort of an agreement will most probably be the case with this trade, because I doubt anyone will drop in drachorns or anything like that I would also be willing to help someone out with a quest project if I weigh it good. (this I can do with my second LR papers too, tho it would be a true temporary agreement, not something permanent)

I have two independent Loreroot pass papers (not shared items, they are permanently "yours"), and I wish to sell one, but I won't go for something ridiculous. If the offer is not attractive to me, I will not sell it. This will last indefinitely unless someone offers something interesting in exchange, when I will announce a period of few days when others have an opportunity to outbid the bidder before I seal the trade. Most of you with money of course don't need Loreroot Pass papers, this is a more of a... Tool to help younger people, to create quests for them and such. Would do it myself but I am not that good with available time, besides, I have two of 'em. I realize I haven't stated what I deem interesting but... Surprise me.

Sadly, I can't nominate Chewie for Top Techie because he is of Marind Bell, you added me in the main post tho. Just to avoid complications in the future. Why is my name in red, when I nominated Nimrodel for adventuring reward? Random error?

Kill all MD characters. Let them register one more time. Kill them again.

Actually, lot of languages use that double negation, where the result is just a negation in difference to logic where false of false is true. In Serbian it is the case, not sure with English and Romanian, so it's not that of a mistake at all. (Example sentence in Serbian would be: Nobody did not study, which in our language it is used as all the people avoided to study rather than the logic result: nobody avoided to study, so naturally everybody studied.)

Will try not to double the suggestions... Anyway, this year was very weak, there aren't much competition in some categories. [b]Adventuring Award[/b] Nimrodel [b][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Best Beautification[/font][/color][/b] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Neno Veliki [/font][/color] [b][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Helper of the Year[/font][/color][/b] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Maebius[/font][/color] [b][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Outstanding Service to MD[/font][/color][/b] BFH [b][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pre-eminent Role Player[/font][/color][/b] Phantom Orchid [b]Techie[/b] Chewett (not sure did he win it before) [b]Most addicted[/b] Nadrolski (in a positive way, of course! ) Will enter some other categories in a day or so probably.

Happy birthday DD

I understood it as mocking of my post (the evil part), which is your right I guess, but wanted to point out that it wasn't properly mocked because I didn't base my argument on "Dst will corrupt Lightsage" but that Lightsage is someone who is "evil" (let's put it your way ) and that due to friendly environment all over the top, he'll be free to be himself much more than some others. Some believe in Lightsage, I don't, simply put.

Because I don't see how it relates to MD (I'm not sure of other nation specific dates, will need to check), it is something political, not symbolical or mythology based as it should for it to be in MD calendar.

Why does MD calendar have Barbados independence day marked? (noticed it today by chance, so I guess our friendly Barbados is not the only case)

Ah, so they can manage to keep their positions when the time comes for them to start ignoring their work? Yes, it requires a bit of political wit and strings, Grido. That's why it's better for the candidate not to have them so we can replace them as soon as work efforts and results go down. We've had experiences with such cases all over MD history. To answer some people that quoted my words in these two voting topics: - I pointed out Dst since she is the one that mainly deals with reporting abuses of known players. Grido doesn't have such a role, neither does Chewett, nor Burns... No where did I mention that Dst is evil, that I supposedly dislike her, or whatever bad except that she might go easy on her friend, which was interpreted very offensively by some people, some that even voted "loyalty" as the most important quality in people (here I guess) in some other discussions, yet regard it as an insult in this subject. Hypocritical, it might seem to some. - I wasn't putting Seigheart in bad light either, No One, if someone isn't liked it doesn't mean that he is wrong in any way. Please do not pull my words out of context... Which goes to the general public as well. I distanced myself from some points in the original post, I would prefer if people would not put words in my mouth and twist the existing ones, I made some disclaimers here which in combination with the ones in the original post, I hope are enough for normal readers not to misinterpret me radically. A horde of people treating a presumption as truth doesn't make the presumption true. - I am not aware of their numerous so called abuses, No One, nor I am quite sure how does it relate with my post, unless you wish indirectly to state that ZenTao will make abuses too as her predecessors? Why don't you present some proofs of your claims in another topic, so they can be processed, or we all have to hold you to your word for these serious accusations? (Granted, there were several incidents where TK leaders wanted to initiate some events, which all were on public forums and received a quick "no" or "yes" from the Council. I reckon the term 'abuses' refers usually to illegal operations done in hidden)

I know Lightsage is capable, no matter my negative opinion on his general behavior and system of values, but [b]I will vote for ZenTao.[/b] My reason? ZenTao is nice as far as I know her, bunch of people mentioned interesting things, but my main reason is that I am voting against Lightsage. Why against Lightsage? From my experience with him and his acts, he is not trustworthy, not loyal (other than to himself), and he is too ambitious. All that could pass on its own, but there's another huge reason - monopoly of power. Who are his best friends? One of them is Dst. So if you choose Lightsage, you have a person that controls how the major rewards are distributed, and you have a person that has ran most of the log-checks on who cheated the system as one of his best friends. (not that I want to question Dst's professionalism, but I would still prefer not to put her into that conflict of interests. I don't think Dst will try to manipulate this, as I don't think she wants much in game stuff, but I am afraid she will not do her best to stop Lightsage) Even that could pass for me (barely) if Mur were active and all the TKs had to do was to watch carefully whom he is rewarding, but in the modern days of MD, we've seen that TKs have a large independent part, full of self-initiated ideas. For administrative functions to succeed you need to have neutral people who don't have 'best' friends, and a load of people who are monitoring those on administrative functions which by all means shouldn't be good friends with those they are observing. Yes, that is pretty hard under these conditions where you only have some 100 active people. For the sake of balance of MD powers, pick someone other than Lightsage, otherwise, whenever you would like something to get done you would have to go to a certain faction of players. Players should have very limited and balanced grasp on admin seats. Remember what Mur said about people not liking Seigheart? That it is a positive attribute for his TK reign, because he is not supposed to be liked. I'm sorry for sounding offensive towards mentioned people, this was not meant as a flame, I just wanted to honestly portray my opinion on a subject I weigh important for MD.
