[quote name='Windy' date='22 January 2010 - 05:21 AM' timestamp='1264166484' post='53230'] Tabled for next Meeting: Valentines Day Sisterhood Activities Suggestions: Box Lunch Social Auction and a Kissing Booth [/quote] Sister Priestess Orchid here... I have been deep in the wilds of Loreroot for religious services as of late, but perhaps if I can make a Sisterhood meeting I can teach a workshop and demonstrate knife-throwing - a fine skill for Sisters. Maybe I can even teach how to turn common objects such as rocks, potatoes, pencils and dust into deadly weapons.

[quote]- homing pigeons, owls ... You could give them to someone then when used they would return to you and their description would have a text written by the one that set them free. Of course there is no practical purpose because we have pms ..but maybe for a quest or something...[/quote] This sounds wonderful! I roleplay with an owl all the time, and perhaps if he could physically do something (transfer items from different location, spy on scenes in different lands, etc.) it would make life in MD more exciting. I notice that a number of players have pets and perhaps were they to actually exist our characters would become more versatile.

*waves* Hi pipz... What, no fries?

I thank you all, sincerely. Despite the cantankerous amount of interpersonal drama in MD (and not even good RP to boot), I am thankful for the friends I have made here. Perhaps I will become more available if/when the bickering abates. We'll see... More roleplay, less drama!

[quote name='Tarquinus' date='16 January 2010 - 05:02 PM' timestamp='1263690162' post='52846'] I carry torches from a sense of duty, as Tarquinus is loyal to the land of Loreroot and feels obliged to do his part for the alliance. The contest is no fun for me whatsoever. [/quote] I echo these remarks. Furthermore, as non-citizens of each land can obtain torches, I'm afraid this 'contest' does not reflect each land as it might. And finally, how can this contest be so heavily weighed when it is so easily, and effectually, exploitable?

You cannot shrug this matter off to assuage what happened. I have requested several times that the coin be returned - and now you play as if all I had to do was ask to get it back? I will comment on this no more..

I will not encourage others to trade with Fenrir, as he had me give him a silver as part of his quest... which subsequently was put on 'hold' for the past few months - and he refuses to return my coin. The coin I do not fret over - his unwillingness to work things out with me, I do.

Shadowseeker, Though I am but a fellow quest doer in search of the chalice, I can say with confidence that this quest is indeed still running per a recent announcement issued by its leader Karak. May the power of the Goddess guide you, Priestess Orchid

I am selling off many of my creatures to raise coin for a big purchase. Numbers on the left are quantity of creatures; Numbers on right (in parentheses) are respective age(s) of critters. Accepting offers for any or all, though better deals will be had through large purchases. Besides coin I am interested in trading for BP Archers.

[quote name='Orlando Gardiner' date='09 December 2009 - 02:16 PM' timestamp='1260397003' post='49530'] Than don't come up with names beyond:P [/quote] What happened to the books in MD Archives? They were so great and then they disappeared. I'm guessing it has to do with the 14-day script policy, or something like that.

Thank you Fenrir for your reassuring response.

Hello, I have a long-standing request that this log be deleted from my PL: ---- [b]noxid[/b] you give fags a bad name ------ noxid is one of Death Ray's alts. Discriminating remarks should not be tolerated, as outlined in the terms of service.

Happy Birthday Tara! *hugs*

Firsanthalas, My spirit lives within the Oak of Loreroot, and the arch of my arrows will forever fly true in its defense. I humbly request citizenship to our fair land. May it remain forever true and proud, and may its majestic landscape forever inspire us all. Yours, Priestess Orchid Knight of the Full Moon - CoE

Irene, I do believe 'taking a break' implies that you will be back You will be missed.

Thank you Grido, Peace, Z, Pamplemousse, Ailith, Lucius and others. I have a renowned respect for each of you. And thank you Death Ray, for being such a j***. For without you, we would have never had this discussion. I'm fine with closing this thread if everyone else is.

If you believe discrimination in MD based on race/gender/sexual orientation is *not* ok, please discuss below what might be done about it. edit: This poll stems from a homophobic remark in my PL. As a person who has been the victim of hate crimes in RL, I find this unacceptable. If this behavior is tolerated in MD, then I will probably choose to not play. This is a game, after all, and I don't need this kind of BS to affect me here as well.

[quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='23 November 2009 - 07:50 PM' timestamp='1259034611' post='48297'] Umm, the words have meaning to those who give them those meanings. Why care if the word ni!!!! was used for slaves. They arnt slaves any more, nor are there any slaves anymore. Forget what the word meant and focus on what the word now means.

[quote name='Shadowseeker' date='22 November 2009 - 09:16 AM' timestamp='1258910219' post='48087'] Why did he write that in the first place? I mean, the PL is supposed to be about the personal opinion, be it good or bad. [/quote] he crossed a line... if this kind of behavior is tolerated, i will find a new game to play.

Noxid, Death Rays alt, posted this comment in my PL: noxid you give fags a bad name It is offensive, discriminatory and rude, and I would like it taken off.

Kriskah! Welcome back. Your return is such a blessing. Do let me know if there's anyway I can help your efforts. Priestess Orchid CoE

Asterdai, Thank you for organizing such a quest. It was an honor to partake in it. ------------------------------------- Such a thing I do not see as competition, but a journey, a path. When our eyes are narrowed by its end we lose sight of the beauty of the trail, the joy of the hunt. [i]It would be as if one were to look at my finger when I point at the moon. [/i] When I hunt in the woods of Loreroot it is not just for to eat, but for to commune with the ancient rhythm of life/death dancing on feet never tired. While rewards are a blessing, this quest allowed us to reconnect with dreams and hallowed memories -- a gift greater than 10,000 WPs Thank you, Priestess Orchid Children of the Eclipse

[center] [b]A Memory Against Forgetting[/b] He gave me his hand, this old tree blooming between forked branches, leafless and fruitless. His hand that unbound, while it wrote, the weave of a destiny: the days and the months and the years. Time scribbled in his face, wayward, meager, as if to dispose all of the lines and signs of his birth, until, little by little, the air would construct what it saw and establish it there. Long lines where the depths were, complementing chapters for the years of his face, dazzling symbols, and equivocal fables, asterisks- whatever the shadows forgot in the old isolation of spirit, or dropped from the sky and the stars, was scored in his face. Olden and bardic, with pen never fixed on the river that spills through our life or the nameless ones who attended his verses. Now on his cheekbones the whole of the mystery charted in cold revelations: the little unvarying slights of the forgotten, cut hard on the page of his forehead; and starved as the beak of the majestic winderwild, journeys and waters had shored on the dearth of his nose their shadowed calligraphy. If only I I could summon the blaze in the cinder, a flower in the hands of a poet. Now his clothing forsook him, he lived in the void of his clothes. All the bones of his body drew close to his skin and vaulted him upwards: a bone man displayed, a bony procurement, a lessening tree gone to bone, in the end, a poet put out by the scrawl of rain in the unquenchable downpour of time. I left him there, nimble with dying, walking toward death as one who awaited the presence stripped to the bone, like herself, in a darkening path; each by the other, they moved toward a crazy girl's dishevelment, toward the sleep we shall sleep out together, whosoever we are: a woman with a withering flower in her hand, fallen to dust.[/center]
