phantasm

part of the end is the path to. To learn how to play the game is the real joy of the game. As many people, I pushed too fast to MP5 only to realize how much of a joy MP3 and MP4 was. It is why some of the older players have alts that they run around on so much. Z for example has, i think, been an MP4 since there was such a thing:P. There are multiple people who can help teach you the ways of things without spoiling all the good stuff. That document was yet another example of "I don't want to learn to play a game, I want to be the best at it right out the gates." Noobs are the best part of games. The experienced people would be bored if it wasn't for noobs. People take that word as a derogitory word. Back when I first started MMOs it was nothing more then a new player.

yes I am quite curious as to where the treasury/capital will be. Will I be able to have imput or chose the place I think would best represent the lands or has it already been prechosen?

I say its all premeditated and with such actions people tend to never change. If I had a ban button I would deffinatly hit it on this case. Lets not forget he also caused a well loved, and wonderful player (Jazzy) to quit the game. Hacking because you were curious about being an MP5? Not only is that about the only form of cheating in this game, but it shows your lack of gamership. This is exactly the reason why most all MMORPGs suck now a days. The true gamer is a minority, and you are left with whiney non-gamers who only want to be the best and will pay, cheat, lie, and steal to find the fastest way to the top. *shakes his head* I feel dirty just having pictures that you drew on my papers.

OK this is a rough outline for my idea of a contest. Keeping in line with the festival of pain of course. 3 Legged Race: This is strictly an RP contest. Like all 3 legged races 3 legs are required. Since you only have two you must aquire a 3rd. You must find someone and convince them to let you CHOP their leg off. You must then have me sow the leg to your waist. That is the starting point of the race. Then you must pick up and carry the person who's leg you cut off to 4 designated area's and take screenshots with the rp of you carrying, dragging, or any shape hauling the person along. Remember you have to convince this person to go along with all this, even fi they don't like it. All places designated for screenshots will be reachable by all MP classes. The race will take you all over the lands of MD, so be prepared to spend alot of AP and time getting to these places. Finally after all the places have been reached and you hold the screenshots in your hand, it is time to come back and get that leg back on your new found buddy. You must convince a designated "surgeon" to take the leg off you and put it back on its rightful owner. Considering the loss of blood this "patient" may have had by then, it may be necissary to give some of your own in order for the surgery to be a sucess. After everything is done and everyone has confirmed your sucess you must present me with your screenshots. The first person to finish will be the victor!! But wait theres more!! There will be a 2 hour time limit to this event. So use your AP well, and make sure your hoppin buddy does as well. Think that sounds easy? ITS NOT *evil laugh*. At the end of the time limit, even though you crossed first place you may not get first!! Why do you ask would I be so evil? RP people RP. The better the RP the more points you get. Whoever gets the most points wins! Points list as follows: Finishing first= 20 points Finishing second= 15 points Finishing third= 10 points Role Play of convincing the player to let you cut off the leg= 5 to 10 points Role Play of cutting off the leg= 5 to 10 points Interesting way of carrying the one missing a leg= 1 to 5 points Interesting way of walking with your third leg= 1 to 5 points Screenshots of the player in agony at the positions while you carry/drag them along= 1 to 10 points Role Play with the surgeon *based upon surgeon's liking of your RP*= 1 to 20 points For a possible total of 80 points. It will all start and end at the bar in the Eastern Lands. Contestants must be on time. RP of cutting off the leg will be restircted to 2 partners at a time to keep confusion down. The race will start once all players have completed and had their legs sown on. TO be done on either a wednesday or a Sunday (only large amount of free time in the evnings) Rewards will be given to the first 3 places. The rewards will depend on what/if Mur decides to donate twards the contest. *edit about rewards*

can this topic please be wiped. Full of nothing but spam. If you wish to have a topic, on topic, about creatures in the land, please do so in a proper fashion.

As Leader of the Caretakers, and Master Chief, I open a hand to the Church and would gladly talk with you in detail about your plans Rhaegar. Please message me in the forum, or you can find me In the East or at The Inn in LR generally

im interested

One Foot in the Grave

Fine I COnfess!! I AM THE LINBURG BABY!!

thank you everyone for your support. I hope to prove my leadership with as much enthusiam as you all have shown in the trust of my leadership.

*under construction* As Master Chief it is my promise to make and maintin this alliance all that it can be. Those chosen will be chosen very specifically for their roles, based on their rp, and will have very damanding roles. Noone in this alliance will be idle while the rest are working. All alliance members will have acess to my YIM and personal email adress. I may have work during the week, but I will always try to make myself available daily.

The Caretakers Purpose of the Caretakers-- The underlying purpose I think should be about death. Just as a caretaker would tend to the gravestones and prepare the dead for their travels, that should be the role. As I think the Tribunal will be about monuments and pieces of great people in MD gone by, they will tend to the research and care of these illustrious names, and keeping a good care over the lands and the actions that hold within. Role of the Caretakers--- To preserve and glorify names of the most memorable people of MD’s past, and to an extent, present. To all great sick and twisted caretakers, life wouldn't be complete without a little death and mayhem. Darkness would be their cloak. Death would be their sword. Fate would be their mind. Sometimes it is needed to hasten the process in which things happen. Caretakers have a love for the end of things. Sometimes the end of things do not come as fast as they would like, so they….hasten things. I think the alliance would be classified not as good or evil but as Chaotic. To walk through the lands with a shovel in their hand. The self proclaimed judge and jury of whatever they feel to be the judge of. Is it any more evil to see who should be judged anymore than a knight would judge who is wrong or right? Is it any more wrong to bury the not-so-dead for a little pay than to burn your enemies alive for the sake of religion? “Grave digger…when you dig my grave…please make it shallow…so that I can feel the rain” Structure of Alliance Master Chief- The Leader. The man with the master plan. Responsible for leading activities and making sure the alliance itself runs smooth. Approves or Denies Plans set forth by the Grave Diggers Grave Digger- Right and Left hand seats. Those deemed worthy by the Master Chief to carry out plans approved for action. Usually carries out secret plans that are only known between the upper management. Runs activities set forth in the land and keeps watch over the lower levels of the alliance Scribe- Responsible for keeping logs of meetings. Also keeps a record of festivities, duties carried out by the alliance, and a secret log of the things carried out that no one knows. Concotionist- The thinker. Thinks up ideas for activities and festivities. Is not aware of the more secret of workings though may be an unknowing participant in its actions. An active role in anything and everything within the alliance, with the exception of certain plans held privilege to the top 3 of the alliance. Caretakers- The grunts. The 5 general population members of the alliance. Carries out all propaganda and general actions of the Alliance. Those of the position to care after the land and the things concerning the alliance outside the land. All around fun people and held accountable for the smooth running of the land.

aye he did me also today blackwood...he seems to have no respect for GGG and is making it a place unable to do any training. His summoned army is 2 drachs and some viny thing and no def so far has been able to stop it. I think that whenever Ledah enters the GGG everyone should attack him with their strongest offensive rituals. A good deterrant I say. The MRs just put him somewhere...he comes right back...its time the people took a stand and ran this worthless fighter off! *edit added rally*

Ledah has been a norotious problem at the GGG latly..for almost a full week now Ledah has been coming in and breaks all idle MP5s rits and then leaving. It has come to a place where MP5s can no longer train because every other person they attack demolishes their rit. Something must be done

happy birthday..i hope your drunk somehwere with a cheap hooker

i think we are getting a little derailed form the topic at hand (grabs the train track switch and pulls it)

i think raven's idea sounds like basic loreroot alliances and sentinal alliance thrown together in a mesh. While a good idea in theory, it doesn't seem like a fresh idea in a fresh land. Just old alliances combined. I think we should also keep in mind that Raven is the same RPC who has had negative influences and been reprimanded for his shady actions more than once. One's not needed discussed or brought up. Just stating even I've seen it, much less veterans who have been around for a long time. Makes a high probability for corruption in the alliance, IMO of course. *edit spelling*

I think alot of us are jumping to conclusions. There is only one way to know if someone is a good leader. Have to put them in and give them a try. I think Mur is looking more for an idealogy as much as a leader. Leaders can be changed, idealogy is much harder to do so. With the alliance Granos has formed, it seems that the Caretakers will be the more headstone and seen alliance. Granos will be busy in the background doing his thing:D. You hear two ways of things usually..leaders are born not made and leaders are made not born. I think it is a combination of the two. Some people are born with the strive to help others in their life's journey. Some are born with the adaptivity to follow and learn. Either can be leaders, but as to who the better leader is all depends. Someone who is born to lead may learn horrid things and become an evil person corrupted by greed and outside forces, while the person born to follow and learn, learns that sometimes they must lead. Of course I could go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, but then you all would fall asleep. My point is that noone really knows for sure who will be the best leader for the job. We can only hope that the overall best will be for the alliance moreso than any one persons ambition, or desires. *edit spelling*

woot happy birthday!

[quote name='Chewett' date='14 September 2009 - 05:16 PM' timestamp='1252963009' post='41746'] well i would give you my opinion but it seems that some would prefere to insult me for it and not respect my views... everyone has one, some are braver to say their true feelings than others, however wrong people see them [/quote] bah chewy let it out. Trust me you will not affect me nor will i have any less respect for you. I value your words as much as any other adn if you have ideas to improve upon or ideas in genreal i fear neither

[quote name='Chewett' date='14 September 2009 - 01:27 PM' timestamp='1252949222' post='41738'] Perhaps, but apparently i also have "nazistic behavior", it is merely my opinion. We are all free to say what we wish, I just feel that you leu, nor fenrir has very much experiance of what i call "real Rp" for example like Tarq's Roleplaying. And Guy i dont really know you but assumed the same. So i would take it back about you generally, as i dont really know enought about guy yet i dont feel you (leu) or fenrir has enough real experiance. Please flame me and report me to mur but it is merely my opinon. And i felt that Mur was asking for everyones opinion. I am merely one of many others, probably the only one who feels you might not do a great job, but it is my opinion nonetheless [/quote] What about me chewy??!! As far as experience I have shown fairly extensive amounts and could go into alot more detail, but I see no need for it. I'm sure my RP style is much different than others and I will in no way compare myself to Lucius RP. I slip out of RP same as alot of others, but I feel my role is very well defined in who I am I think this allinace will be the next "big thing", which is of course why there is so much controversy and debate. I do not however think that this alliance has any right to "govern" or "judge" other alliances as fenrir suggested. Sure it may have some underhanded dealings that effect other alliances and the blance, but it wil not be directly involved. I see this alliance more as the undertone. It is a big part of the new land of the East, but in every other land it is more a lurker of the shadows and stabber of backs then outright judging or affecting something in the open. While it will be a "nuetral" guild I think it will have alot of sway not only for alliances as a whole but for individuals. It is a big responsability to be in charge of careing for the dead along with influencing the living. It is also a role that can easly be taken to ones head and swelled into an abusive role. Thre is a thin line between brilliant covert assasing, and crazy evil mad scientists. Who is to say...perhaps the leader needs to be able to jump back and forth over the line like a jump rope *evil grin*

[quote name='Chewett' date='13 September 2009 - 01:24 PM' timestamp='1252862657' post='41691'] Age matters nothing, Experiance does. I consider some people with Less Active days much more experianced than others, For example look at Unbelievable Power, He started the game and quickly learnt how to play it. He for example was much more experianced in his first month than redneck is now with 300 odd days I may be older than everyone, yet i am much less experianced than most, and have been told recently by redneck that he knows much more than me. So obviously his 300 days is greater than my... 685 or something [/quote] Thats because your gonna be an old man like me in 5 days:P Seriously though I agree and am glad that most think time on the game isn't a requirement as much as other things. I have had unbelievable support from many people and hope that if I am chosen, I can make a mark that they are glad to be backing. I sometimes am not as elequant with words, or spell them right for that matter, but most people usually get my point. I grew up in farm town USA with probally less education then alot. I always was good at leading though, from farming, to boyscouts, to biker gangs, ect. More than anything though I want to see this alliance started on the right foot. No matter how it goes down, I want to see this guild build and grow to its full potential. Of course I am a little one sided thinking my idea is the best:D

I know there are some people who have issued with my "youth" to MD. Several have expressed it and I'm sure there are many more who have not. Yes I am 188 days old and started around February of this year. I have, however, been playing MMORPGs for about 18 years. I am older than probally most of the players in MD. A few things in the past.... The Realm started around 1991 Leader of the Assassin's Guild- The Realm circa 1991 Officer of Legion of Hades-The Realm circa 1993 Switched to Ultima Online-Great Lakes server 1994 Co-Leader of Legion of Hades-Ultima Online circa 1994 Switched to Everquest server Povar-2001 Switched to World of Warcraft-Server Doomhammer2004 Officer and Raid leader of Urban Achievers-circa 2004 Switched to Vanguard (forget wich server)-2007 Officer and Lead Raid Tank Switched to Warhammer-Sylvania Server-2008 Officer of Shadow's of Sylvania-circa 2009 Does all that mean I will make a good leader? Hard to say because every game is Unique and different to the needs of their leaders. I just want to see this alliance set off in the right direction. I took the name of the alliance, the basic idea of what I see a Caretaker as, and ran with it. There is deffinatly alot more that the alliance needs to be about than my writeup. It is a general makeup of what could be a very big addition to the Alliances of all lands as a whole

happy belated birthday

But we still played. [/quote] The closest actual MMORPG was around 18 years ago called The Realm. A game a few guys i knew created and then later sold to Sierra. Before that there were only MUDs
