[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"][quote]The climax of the forest is not the final stage of the cycle, but rather a peak before a long plateau. During the plateau, the strongest trees of the forest continue to grow and reproduce, ultimately dominating the ecology, leading to the forest's eventual decline due to lack of diversity. The lack of diversity makes the forest prone to fire, blight, disease, insects or other predators, etc. which will bring death to the forest and start the cycle again with new pioneer species.[/quote] I was thinking about that at my last post and couldn't quite find the words to say what I wanted. I've been struggling with the words through this whole topic that I wanted to make a point with. Many see the scenes in MD as meaning things much deeper. Windows to the creator's mind as it were. There will be those that see something and say "Why is that there?" Rumi's response has brought forth what I was thinking. While there are things that are there, doesn't the lack of something speak volumes as well? [/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]Actually having all deciduous trees means that the forests are all climax forests thus meaning they contain old growth. They are at the final stage of the forest cycle. The lack of pines and many of the faster growing trees means they contain no younger growth. [/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]Hope all goes well for you *hugs*[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]I was raised around the lumbering industry. My town is a "mill" town. I notice this sort of thing. Granted the absence of a particular type of tree may not be as important as other things, it still is something. Sometimes what's missing is significant, too.[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]I've looked off and on during the 2 years I've been here, and I'm wondering if I'm just blind. There are [b]no[/b] Pine (needle) trees in MD. I started thinking there maybe a reason. Anybody have any thoughts or ideas on this?[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]Let's give them time to do their job. Other memorials may be planned. Let's not tear them apart for their choice, when more may be on the way. [/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]People used to complain that the Caretakers didn't do their job. Now they're complaining because they are doing their job. If you don't want to say good-bye to Renavoid, fine. Make your own thread about the comings and goings of veterans. Don't berate the Caretakers for doing what they're supposed to be doing.[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]*sings* Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Mikey! Happy Birthday to you! May you have an awesome day always feel young (because you'll always be a year older than me )[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]*sings* Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Bunbun! Happy Birthday to you! May you have a carrot cake filled day and your metal polish never run out [/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]*hugs* Take care, Roland. My thoughts and prayers are with you.[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]I have trouble with the font of the letters especially S and 8. I've had to refresh it several times to get ones that I can read. Even then I get the message that Cutler did, which forces to repeat the process. Funny thing is ky does eventually come up and works [/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]*sings* Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Adi! Happy Birthday to you! Have a rockin' good day and a year of easy A's and fun times[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]I hesitated responding because I didn't want to appear as a Mur groupie. I like the painting. It is a combination of beauty and darkness that makes me curious about the inner thoughts of the artist (no matter the artist). Offtopic: Maybe what we need is a subforum for the arts be it poems, drawings, paintings, etc. I realize we have an offtopic forum, but often the arts get lost.[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]Happy New Year one and all! (Cutler he's adorable!!)[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]*sings* Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Ren! Happy Birthday to you! May your year be happily successful in all ways and my the Rensak, Stormy, and Ancally have lots of rabbit snacks (if things done work, you can always squish little people on the ipad )[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]My concern is more about protecting the real newbies that get blasted by those who see their "role" as being the biggest, baddest MP3 around. What if there could be an if/then/else statement? Something like if age is less than 30 and attack less than 100, then no fight, else fight. I'm no programmer and my numbers are merely suggestions. As I said, I'm more concerned about protecting the newbies.[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]I miss the longer timer as well. I'm not sure the timer is even 12 hours. Seems like it's much shorter than that. It would be nice if it was restored to the 48 hours like it says.[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]I'm not convinced 'broken' is the right word. MD is unique in that it doesn't function like any other game out there. We don't have to do something if we don't want to. While I feel that it could be potentially harmful to MD as a whole for a player to linger at MP3 and pound on others, people aren't forced to hit the button to move to the next level. They are left to choose for themselves. Those who wish to stay at a particular level do so for their own reasons. If it breaks the few rules we have, then it should be taken care of. We could go into the big fish in a little pond mentality, but that would just take the thread off topic.[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]If you use one of your accounts to benefit another of your accounts, it's alt abuse. Doesn't matter if it's the "main" account or not. You're still abusing the system to benefit.[/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]I'm with Bunny about repeat winners. Once you've won, you shouldn't be able to win again in the same category. Instead of asking categories, the awards committee should offer well-defined categories. [/font][/color]

[color="#8B0000"][font="Palatino Linotype"]These Mini Quests are continual. All you have to do is meet the requirements in the initial post and message me of your interest [/font][/color]
