Happy birthday Neno Veliki! have a great time

people can now check when their accounts were made... if a certain person got suggested (like I plan to suggest Ravenstrider for that), who is above 100 AD but he was "created" in this year, it can easily be checked with a screenshot. I said it, but I guess nobody read it, so I'll repeat it, why taking only those that were made from the point of September (random guess) rather than from January, since it is Rookie of the Year, not Rookie of the Second Half Time.

[quote name='Muratus del Mur' timestamp='1289992449' post='72308'] Doesnt matter if you are active on forums or not. I asked a question than any of MB people could have informed you about, you should reply promptly to such random sweeps, it shows you still exist. I didnt asked you why you dont write on the forum or what is it that you do, i just asked to see a reply, meaning you are there if needed. [/quote] for the record, I haven't seen the topic, before Lifeline responded anyway, otherwise I would let him know. Probably cause the Forum Topic has a name "Question" that, usually, isn't interesting at all, so probably a lot of people skipped to read it edit: grammar issues... usually I was annoyed that people use "now" instead of "know" but it seems the curse hit me as well

about "Most effective protector" that Kyphis suggested... what is the difference of "Most Effective" and "Best" protector? Some people will actually vote differently if there are both of those categories?

I think, about rookies of the year, we should choose from those that made their account from point of 1st January this year, onwards, since we are voting for the whole year, and not last few months.

[quote name='Mya Celestia' timestamp='1289675002' post='72050'] [color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"] Why not once a week the system pop a screen between log in and the game with a +/- voter or a 1-5 scale of kingship satisfaction? The system could keep track of this and calculate it according to land. If it goes to a certain percentage or amount of dissatisfaction, a flag goes up letting Mur know.[/font][/color] [/quote] [quote name='Rhaegar Targaryen' timestamp='1289669458' post='72045'] if you implement citizen discontent via anonymous votes, it can always be abused by those that have hidden agendas, negative votes that do not represent the fault of a king, but the ambition of a citizen. [/quote] furthermore, if the vote isn't anonymous, then a citizen that gives a low remark will get his Christmas gifts accordingly

not at all. First, I see those very elections as a ridiculous thing. Mainlands' structures are supposed to be in some way of a competition with each other. That's the fun in most of games, competition, but allowing whole realm to vote for one mainland each is illogical to me, unless whole MD works like one organ, having several entities working their own job for something greater (which in that case, some things that inspire competition between lands would be pointless) What confuses me a lot, is that there ain't some concept rules of MD realm for us to build upon, axioms, those that are existent are needed to be found by ourselves deep within theories of theories, so the chances are likely that in some twisted case all this actually is normal. You can draw up some conclusions from the Adventure log, from the scenery, location poems... But in the end, they are theories, and you (as average player) can't present them as facts. For all I know, MD can actually represent the travel of our RL characters via computer into a mirrored world, rather than having a fictional world with role-player characters I don't "moan" about things cause they don't go on my advantage. I want things to be clear and fair, realistic, which isn't the case. (MD is great, but it can surely be better, and always can get better and better) Response to the first post: what you described, about the supported course of actions, is exactly lobbying. If an event requires your interference, and successful lobby (rather than the truth, that isn't spoiled by any positive or negative manner of it's participants), then, in my opinion, that shows that the case you're interfering into is going wrong. There will always be those minor details, but I'm not talking about them, kingdoms are a major detail on this realm. on topic response: if you implement citizen discontent via anonymous votes, it can always be abused by those that have hidden agendas, negative votes that do not represent the fault of a king, but the ambition of a citizen.

[quote name='Muratus del Mur' timestamp='1289646381' post='72015'] Kings are not presidents, You have no clue about kings it seems. If you expect me to create a confortable alternate version of rl world.. you are WRONG. MD world has its rules, its own rules, and maybe if you would try to adapt and fit to them you would learn something out of it. Afterall you have "monarchy" or "dictators" or stupid rules all around you, a lot more real than just a game. You find them in school, work, even in traffic. This things are embeded deep in how we are. My judgement flaws or slips, is what makes such rules challenging. It is also my judgement that has always kept things at the edge of "doable" , allowing both backdoors but also unforseen oportunity to most of the laws and rules I placed. If you took your time to read my latest show of force article you would understand that in a world where the rules are the same for all, its only your fault if you cant follow them, you "Mirror" your own ...whats the word...incompetence? or lack of adaptation ability. Humanity survived because it can adapt, any individual not ready to adapt is expandable for evolution. [/quote] Our schools, works, have their rules, but they are made by the humans, and they can be changed by humans. World itself doesn't have social rules, but social rules are created by people that can change them. In here MD has "natural" social rules. Equivalent of MD's King in reality would be a King of Spain (let's say) with God's immunity to do what he wants, until someone has pretty good reasons to complain to God (and prayers take time to be read) so the God would do something... perhaps even make new elections where, no matter what the King did, he could be re-elected. What I would find more realistic and certainly more interesting is that Kings represent people, with certain people being able to enforce their rule if they are strong enough to (or be crushed if they try and fail), rather than people representing Kings. Military option for the rebels is certainly welcomed in that realistic aspect, but you disliked the idea originally when stating possible options (could you be more detailed about it? so I don't make assumptions on what was meant there, for the kings) Rules most certainly are not the same for everyone. By the way, I didn't try to degrade you in any way, I was pointing out that suggestions and criticism is welcome if you want to 'perfect' features, rather than accepting everything as already perfect as it was more rudely said in deleted topics. I'm certain you said somewhere that the beauty of life is in watching (perhaps it was someone else, irrelevant who was it anyway). Feedbacks of people's actions is great, and that's one thing, but enforcing of social rules by the one who should be above them is another thing. That's my point. And you are limiting interferance of the group itself to choose their leader.

it is pretty simple and practical-enough. sure it would be cool to have some sort of a pergament background, but would that damage the reading in a way or not, I don't know. maybe if "tag system" would be introduced in future posts... (unless topic description below the headline is reserved for that?) when someone is searching some posts, you could have tags like "war; auction; art..."

srecan rodjendan matoriiiiii

I dislike that military take overs ain't possible. So called "diplomacy" falls down to having people that are relatively close to Mur that can lobby to force some kind of change, and so called "diplomacy" has nothing to do with the gameplay. Rebels are supposed to fill some kind of non-written requirements so their demands can be fulfilled... pfff. Please make some basic rules on what can be expected of the feature without divine intervention. I think that the possibility of a military take over should be possible, also it can be used in land wars (most probably and for the best as well is that all kings maintain some kind of status quo when its about territory issues, but it is pretty logical that in an RP world that tries to make realistic environment and feedback it should be allowed for some King to mark his new territory and kick all the rest who defy him if he's strong enough to) I just find this "king immunity" concept ridiculous... Kings of certain groups are chosen from those groups, and it is up to the people to follow the person... To overthrow (if have enough power to) or serve if they want... But the system favors the king rather than any other group. Those roles shouldn't be called Kings at least, but Moderators of Mainlands.

so what, he's supposed to max cap and stay like that forever? there are ways for people to get through the mp5, just look at Ravenstrider, how quickly he evolved. sure there will be losses, but what's the fun without them?

bump, one BP sold, one remains. will accept 1 gold for it on quick trading

works fine for me. I'm idling in Winds Sanctuary, just drop in and PM me and I'll send you the CTC

[attachment=2126:REPORT.JPG] [img]http://www.jasonchanart.com/gallery/2005/unicorn/swordsman_02.jpg[/img] Ravenstrider ran up on this... I have this avatar in my fault, and it seems pretty clear that it was copied by an MD artist from this site. Too bad, I kinda liked that old avatar.

manipulation doesn't mean you have a leader, that you become inferior to someone... it can be consist of telling what the other person wants to hear, to encourage her to make a wrong move or such... Pample is just a human (despite being female ), everyone makes mistakes, so don't think it was impossible

the feminists point is, she is just fine doing it all by herself it is funny really, Curios isn't debating was she plotting, but she was debating was she manipulated into it or not XD I'll mention, as Kafuuka did, that I'm not aware of all the details or who did what. I was just a bit annoyed with the picture I had in my mind of few girls being offended cause their idol image of a bad-ass woman is being disturbed (not much cause of the idol thing, but more of a 'sister-union' thing, which is quite often in MD).

Same thing happened to me while trying to regen on ERO. I confirm the problem

selling two BPs, max age

happy birthday Mr Mystery!

"the cream of the crop" dragon is a very nice one. My suggestion is for Rensak, the Renavoid's Wind Dragon to take it

Happy birthday Sparrhawk! may your heart and spirit never lose their strength

same error appeared when i tried to attack Tankfans... now I know why

Something similar was planned for Savelite summer festival. If it is without tokens, then those with high stats (like Mike ) naturally win. The best (in sense of no privileged ones) would be only lorerootian creatures (without the grassan) on 0% and no tokens at all, but the tournament should be announced about one month before so the players have an equal chance of raising those creatures and participating.

tournament with Lorerootian creatures... it's just that one rule, participants can use tokens, or stats influence?
