Kyphis the Bard

And Fyrd Argentus has also contacted me and received the 9th Anniversary Aramor. Sorry, Chewett, it just wasn't meant to be I guess 🤷‍♂️

Else has messaged me first and chosen the 6th Anniversary Aramor. This still leaves a 9th Anniversary Aramor for either Chewett or Fyrd Argentus to claim.

Final upvote tallies from the community voting: Kyphis: 1 Else: 1 Chewett: 1 Ledah: 0 Valoryn: 0 Fyrd Argentus: 1 So we have a four way tie. Since we have a tie, the first two winners to message me on the forum asking for their prize will be the final winners (fastest gets first pick) (Effectively this is just between Fyrd Argentus and Else since I doubt Chewett is going to ask for a reward, and I'm not going to message myself. But hey, Chewett might want a rare creature so I'm not going to exclude him! Sorry Ledah/Valoryn, you didn't manage to score any points in voting)

As well as the above, anyone who wasn't able to make the event is now welcome to post their own entries to this thread. And.... no, the challenge for the Boning Knife is not still open. I'll be keeping this for now. At the end of day 15, upvotes will be tallied and recorded in this thread, after which winners will be contacted to organize rewards.

Valoryn's fondest memory:

Ledah's fondest memory (with a little bit of prelude for context):

As advised, please find below the posts for each person's shared memory. Please remember that only upvote reactions will be counted when determining the winner.

For those who couldn't attend, here is the log from the event.

Day 9 - Friday 22nd - Kyphis - Day of Restoration A day to renew and rediscover the lost and broken. 13:30 - 17:00 "Faded memories - Ask a retired archivist for half remembered stories of the realm's history" Day 12 - Monday 25th - Kyphis - Day of Creations A day to try something new and celebrate the milestones of your past. 11:30 - 15:00 "Revived Memories - Recount your personal favourite memory of your time in the Realm" Day 15 - Thursday 28th Voting closes for the Revived Memories quest

On the 12th day of the Anniversary I will be hosting the Revived Memories event at the Great Hall of the Sun, from 11:30 to 15:00 game time. Players will be invited to share their fondest memories of their time in the realm. Understanding people have other commitments and can't be on MD all the time, you can ask a proxy to recount your story. At the conclusion of the event the log will be taken and posted in this thread. Individual stories will be posted as separate replies to this topic and the community will be invited to vote on which stories they feel are the best (Only upvotes will be counted). At the end of Day 15 the votes will be counted and recorded. On top of any prizes provided to participants as an Anniversary event, I will personally be providing a 6th Anniversary Aramor and a 9th Anniversary Aramor, and if there are a sufficient number of high quality stories this may expand upto at maximum three 6th Anniversary Aramours and two 9th Anniversary Aramours. Users with the highest voted stories will be allowed to chose which type of Aramor they would like, starting with the highest voted and descending until I run out of Aramors I'm willing to part with.

I'd personally like to see an extra option in the sacrifice menu that instead of gaining stats you could forgo whatever that stat gain would have been for the stat multiplier to instead be applied to the heat loss value. Manages the cost and reduction rate in one go. I also wouldn't let MP3 access it.

On top of the above rewards, if we receive 6 or more quality entries my personal favourite will receive something very rare for me to release - A year 6 anniversary Aramor. The possibility of more bonus rewards also exists - the Archives are, after all, very important to me.

Thankyou Yeah, first thing I tried but no effect. It's weird, I could post in it not too long ago (about three weeks). FF has had an update since then, so it's probably just my browser being silly.

Every time I click on Set your status > it loads as [object Object] instead of an interactive field. In other news, I'm a dad as of last Sunday. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. (that's what I wanted to post in the mood panel)

Hello People and Denizens of MagicDuel. It has been an interesting three years as one of the two leaders of the MagicDuel Archive Land. A lot had happened since 2014 within the realm, and I am glad to have been a part of it all - the expansion of existing lands and introduction of the A2050 tools, the arrival of many brand new inhabitants as well as older ones returning to build new legends, and the many, many quests and festivals that we see each year. While some periods in MagicDuel's history have been fraught with controversy, I have been happy to see the last few years lack such antics, although it is a shame that this may be due in a large part to the reduced number of new arrivals in the realm to bring fresh ideas, as well as the departure of some of our more... I shall say passionate players from being regularly active. In the last few years I have worked hard with darkraptor and many others to try and revive aspects of the MagicDuel Archive's as well as the broader realm. Both Aethon and Chewett have worked to revive the external MD Archive website, and it has been good to see new content on there. I have worked with a small team to revive the MD Paper, which unfortunately while we have most of the raw content due to significant delays at the start none of us have been able to find the time to finish editing. With many of your assistance we even managed to increase the ranks of the Archivist Alliance itself and begin laying the groundwork to reintroduce the Legend Speakers alliance, although again unfortunately enthusiasm for this has waned as other projects have arisen. Outside of our land, there has been much activity with exciting new resources and creatures being introduced, the total revamping of Necrovion, death, and other staples of the MD world, the attempts to revive the Torch Contest and create a new format for that contest, and even just today the opening of a brand new land! As excited as I am and have been by all these developments, I find myself now an observer, not a participant. My time in MD has, after nine long years, finally come to it's end. I do not mean that I will not be in the realm, as I intend to visit, and visit often, but I will be an observer, not an active participant. While I may help those who come to me for assistance with projects like writing stories for quests, no longer will I be running, organizing, or participating in such quests and events. The other realm calls to me too loud and too often. I've just received a promotion at work, my wife and I are starting up a business of our own on top of my existing work, and we are expecting a baby in July. So I think you can all appreciate that the next few years - and hell, the rest of my life even once things do settle down - is going to be a lot less focused on this realm. As such, and as discussed a few months ago with darkraptor and Chewett, I hearby abdicate from my position as Chancellor and MDA Land Leader. I wish you all the best of luck in the new year, and I look forward to having new and unexpected things to see each time I come to visit. Who knows - In a few years I may just return again to introduce a fresh mind to MD. ~Kyphis, Bard of the Path

It's a shame to see you go, but you were a good friend and colleague while it lasted. Many blessings on where ever your journey leads you next.

Sooooo.... what is the critter :?

Results are now posted into the first post. It was a fun event, and a big thanks to the players who turned up to allow it to run, as well as Assira for posting a jumplink. Log from the event below:

Due to lack of players this is now being run as classic trivia with individuals against one another.

That's the one, yes
