Safe travels to you Tipu. O Sao Paulo é lindo maravilhoso! Best of luck with the girls over there.

Spectacular! I hope it's a success - I simply adore Ellen.

As much as I hated being tossed around with tele spells when I competed in HC, I do think they have a valid place. However, if Eon's ability to interfere (gain heads) will continue to stand, why not just let Eon name the winners and not even bother with a competition?

Thank you for the summation! FYI - there were additional Children at the battle, including myself, though some were not seen.

A pleasure to see you back! I'm game.

Mur, you may be interested in a book - it's called "The Introvert's Advantage." It's really a self-help book, and a little over-sensationalized, but it details quite nicely in layman's terms how personality development affects individuals - specifically on the introvert/extrovert spectrum. For instance, introverts have more complex analytic skills (multitasking ability), creativity, and flexibility - they see patterns as more right-brained thinkers. However, they are a bit 'slower' - especially considering how the industrial world is catered towards extroverts - and they conduction pathways (neurons) in their brains are actually longer than their extrovert counterparts. They are like a rechargeable battery and need to stop and rest to recharge. On the other hand, extroverts are more like solar panels - they need the sun to recharge. I speak of archetypes, of course. In reality we each lie somewhere along the spectrum. And yes, we are born with these traits. Just like everything else, a blend of genetics and environmental influence, but personality is definitely hard wired. As with any trait, it can always be influenced / manipulated to affect positive change in one's life.

Yes. But those who know are not willing to share with the likes of you.

It has been 9 days... Pease contact the TKs personally, and continuously, until you receive your awards. Let me know if you do not receive them soon.

[center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center][size=5][b]Dream Quest - Act II Results[/b][/size] [/center][/center] [left][left][size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]This quest is over, but for some, the journey has merely begun. For others, it continues, and for one in particular, and I speak of [color=#000000]93[/color], a path to the stars awaits. He did not offer a submission, but rather detailed to me exactly what I was looking for! I consider him the true 'winner' (though everyone who participated is one, in actuality). He will be rewarded a rare gift.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]As some are figuring out, the quests I offer (formal or not) branch like a tree. As even fewer are discovering, dedication, perseverance, and an open heart confer certain benefits, benefits which are often rewarded unannounced.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]But, of course, the 'structure' of Act II of this dream quest mandates that I award the 'best' submissions.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]I must say that I am proud of each submission, regardless of how I am bound to qualify them. I view them each as a spark, a spark capable of igniting a flame - a flame of creativity, reflection, and growth.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]With that said... a true sigil is something very personal, very meaningful. It's creation demands that one first meditate upon what one desires, then, with concerted effort, its construction may then commence. [/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Once it is created, one should then try to 'forget' about it, for conscious thoughts will muddle its performance. Afterwards, once it has done its duty (and for those who are dedicated, I am willing to help make your sigil 'work'), it should be promptly destroyed.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Oh, and by the way, one should never share their personal sigil - for one never knows who may come along and redirect/steal its power? *evil grin*[/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]With that aside, I will announce the winners![/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]1st place - [color=#282828]Maitreyi Devi. The story, the dream, the intention, and will. Demonstrated beautifully by her sigil and explanation. Maitreyi will also receive access to Loreroot, if not yet achieved.[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#282828]2nd place - [/color][color=#282828]Rumi[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#282828]3rd place - Princ Rhaeger[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#282828]Another place - Zleiphneir. To be rewarded with a dream joker.[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#282828]Yet another place... - JadenDew. To be rewarded with use of the apple branch, an in-game item.[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]Another and yet another place? Yes, when dishing out rewards I take into consideration in-game roleplay and participation in current and previous quests (announced or not). [/font][/size] [/left][/left]

I am available to help quest makers who want to incorporate esoteric elements, item crafting, personal exploration and/or psychology (MD based or not) into their quests. I will also offer to put up quest related texts into clickables, but I do not know script and can only copy/paste. Thanks for spearheading this Burns!

I too wish that such a position be given to somebody who a) does not have a track record of abuse of power b) has been involved in creating quests and is knowledgeable about what fair reward distributions should look like c) is fair. I am specifically thinking about the quest Fenrir posited several months ago where he 'charged' silver coins for entrance and then abandoned the quest and kept the coins. I am also thinking about how he plays favorites in reward distribution in his TK position.

But then I ask and my quest gets sponsored by the TKs... There was never an issue of "I would reject this immediately on the grounds that I do not want people asking me to sponsor their quests." In fact, it was the opposite. Mine was sponsored, no statements or questions asked. So tell us Seig, why the discrepancy?

Regarding research submissions... Kyphis mentioned that player submissions could be compared with the research titles already in place, and the clue would be 'rewarded' if the research was correct, without having to spend research points. But what about research submitted in scenes without research titles already in place? I submitted research in a scene without any research title clues under the assumption that any 'original' research would be incorporated /possibly made into clues for that scene. Also, I wasn't sure whether to separate my submission into various levels (1,2,3,etc.), so I just put everything that I knew into it. Along with Cutler, I would really like to help with this feature if there is a way to plug-in. It has added depth to the game, and has the potential to add so much more.

Since there is no real interest, I am closing auction. PM me if interested in future sales/trades.
