Mya Celestia

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]One of the most often questions I get has been referenced above: It says I get x number of action points in the story boost, but I didn't get them. I get that question more than "What is heat?"[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Just for reference, I didn't know ahead of time that Mya was going to get killed.[/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]A question because I'm not sure: how many needles are there?[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]It's adorable! Be sure to give it lots of hugs and candy [/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]I agree. A random chance of failure makes it more "real". People generally aren't perfect at something the first time. Failure should be an option. Bring on random acts of oops! [/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]When does combat become abusive? Are we saying that you can beat a person the entire time they are in game practically every time you can for days on end making you the only target is not abusive? Verbal attacks are abusive, but not other attacks because they are "combat"? [/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]We can't use certain words because they are offensive some. We can't do certain actions because they are offensive to some. We [u]can[/u] beat the tar out of someone because it actually is a silent abuse. I don't see that as fair. Go ahead and tell me MD isn't fair. I already know that, but when did MD decide it wanted to allow cruelty as well?[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Let's pull back from this for a moment and think about it. A big kid beats up a little kid and steals his lunch money every day. Little kid goes to an adult about it and it [u]should[/u] be taken care of. Adults get bullied and harassed they go to the law. Practically every situation does not tolerate bullying. I find it sad that this realm seems to praise it. [/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Survival of the fittest? Personally I'm not an animal. I don't kill those weaker than myself to prove I'm strong. Might shouldn't make right. Might should be tempered with wisdom. Not to sound cliche, but with power comes responsibility. [/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Yes, MD has a harassment rule. It doesn't appear to be applied often. Just look at the harassment on the forum over some posts. Instead of offering support, people are bashed for whining or whatever. How is that justice? How is that fair play? (I'm speaking in general here) The little kid that loses his lunch money every day who gets no response from an adult are the ones we hear about that end up doing something drastic. Adults do drastic things when bullied, too. It's not about manning up or growing a thicker hide. It's about wanting things balanced. [/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]I generally don't do things like this, but it sort of goes along with the recent review. This a message I received from what appears to be an aggravated newbie. I've changed nothing in it. It is pasted exactly as I received it.[/font][/color] "HELLO...SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR GAME 'GUIDELINES' ON PROPER FIGHTING, BALANCE...WHAT THIS SITE NEEDS IS SOMEONE TO CAPTURE SCREEN SHOTS OF YOUR RULES, REGULATIONS, PLUS THE EMAIL FROM YOUR SITE STATING THAT 'ACCOUNT CAN NOT BE DELETED' AND POST IT ON YOU TUBE..NOT RECOMMENDING YOUR ONLINE GAME." [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]My response message has gone unopened. Most likely because the player will not be returning. Deleting an account is something I'm asked about more often than I'd like to admit. I would venture to say that the question comes at least once a week. My suggestions would be:[/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]1. make deleting an account available[/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]2. remove the comments in the tutorial fights about needing to win/lose. (I hear about those a lot, too)[/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]3. make the [Restrictions] at the top of the page a different color to draw attention to it.[/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]4. pull the FAQ information from the LHO to a separate choice at the top of the screen with the restrictions and announcements.[/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Even if the above player was an alt, they present valid points.[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]It was suggested once that Eon's ability be adjusted so it worked similar to stat gaining. When we fight, we don't get addition to all stats; however, Eon is able to take stats across the board. It seems a bit unbalanced that we can't gain in all yet Eon can take in all. I'm more for balancing.[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]I'd be happy to enchant stones for people. We'll have to have a good old-fashioned snowball fight when December gets here and the "snow" starts falling[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Something I've noticed throughout all these threads is that people expect Grido to be able to fix things. He has a great deal of power--yes. He has access to Mur--yes. Does this mean he can snap his fingers and make Mur do things? Not in the least. How many times have any of us said or thought that we didn't want to deal with something regardless of how great or how small. Mur is likely to have days like that as well. When it comes down to it, Grido can't make Mur do anything. He can't make the council do anything either. If the identity of the offender is revealed, we all may understand why Grido went to Mur and why things may be delayed.[/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]As for the whole thing about contacting the council, check the bottom of the actual MD screen. Just like practically every other website out there the contact information is under [contact] at the bottom. Mur's email is there as well. [/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]I wish things were handled with more tact. The bluntness that many use comes across as quite harsh. It isn't necessary.[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]I'm going to be blunt. The information I got was from a FORUM thread. The link used above is not where I got the information. You can wave that flag all you want, but it's not where I got the information. It was a forum thread started by Mur that was from something like '08. [/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]If anybody has access to the hidden threads that Burns mentions, please make a copy of the post I'm referencing. [/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]It wasn't in ancient lore. It was in work in progress. I only mentioned Chaos Woods in reference to the post not in the mini quests. This was just a question. Please don't make it about ancient lore. I was extremely careful when making these.[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]There was an old thread in the forum that Mur wrote that I referred them to. In it he calls them White Lake and Green Lake. I don't even begin to look at ancient lore. That's been a no no for a long time. If a newbie makes any sort of reference to it in my mini quests, I steer them right away from it.[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]There used to be a thread that was really old. It was started by Mur and mentioned the lake in the north was White Lake and the lake in the north west was Green Lake. It also mentioned Chaos woods. Is it gone with the update?[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]*hugs tight* May your sadness be comforted by the thought that her suffering has ended and she's in a far better place. Thoughts and prayer to you and your family, my dear friend.[/font][/color]

[color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]I'm not convinced giving extra access would be appropriate for a pass paper. Making the paper teleport just to the other side of the gate or where it originally put the player seems like the right thing to do.[/font][/color] [color=#008080][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]The simplest change without removing them would be the quickest to get done. I don't know enough about programming to know what is the easiest solution. Teleportation could be a simple copy/paste of coding with subtle changes to make it work.[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]All the monarchs plus Z are dead. If whoever is doing is killing land leaders or perceived land leaders, there are 3 lands left.[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]Maybe there's something more sinister afoot. [/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]Maybe a soft glow on the paths in the map. Something light that doesn't distract from the dots. Might be better to put the glow where the viscosity is positive. Then there may not be as much color on the map. [/font][/color]
