Yeah, basically you are not buying the wishpoint (which is against the rules), but the item (which is not at all against the rules). The only difference is that instead of getting an item close to what you want, you get exactly what you want.

10 silver.

I hope you can get some more role-players to come out of the wood works (I assume WTT in this case means Want to Try, rather than Want to Trade? )

Sent you the data for Most of Marind Bell, No Mans Land, MDA, GG, Tribunal, Underground, and Labyrinth.

The problem with the analogy of it being like a book comes up here. With a book, once you read the information it is stored in your brain. You can re-access it and study it further, but if your memory is good enough you could remember and use the information for the rest of your life. The memory stones, on the other hand, do not do this. When you enchant a memory stone, the stone stores the information required to cast the spells. When you activate the stone, however, it does not transfer this knowledge to you. The knowledge remains on the stone, all you have is the knowledge of how to activate the stone. The stone requires any materials that are consumed still, such as Heat or VE, and you pay those costs, but the stone is what performs the spell, not you. Think of it like an automated manufacturing line making say, a shoe. Assuming the factory line was made by a single person for simplification reasons, the person who made the manufacturing line would also need to know how to make a shoe, otherwise the manufacturing line would not work correctly. You on the other hand, as the operator, do not need to know how to make a shoe. You only need to know what materials the machine needs, and what buttons to push to make the machines do the work for you.

I don't think it would make much sense for Demo to be MP5, since combat between MP3 and MP5 is so different. It would be confusing to see the MP5 combat, get interested, and then start and find out the combat is completely different >.> Since Demo accounts experience and combat progress is frozen, saccing is probably not the way to go (you would not be able to get any wins or experience on creatures)

I just ran a quick combat test on the Demo Account creatures, of its 31 creatures only 6 are combat capable. Three of them are Barren Souls, and another one is a Hollow Warrior, leaving only two combat creatures usable, an Imperial and a Joker. Since there is no indication of what will work in combat before it is picked, anyone not familiar with MD will be frustrated by the lack of ability to actually test the combat engine, or understand that it isn't the normal way combat works (ie you learn what happens at the later stage as you reach it, rather than skipping the learning stage and being in the deep end with no instructions) Since part of the point of this account seems to be to test out the combat engine this game offers, I think something should be done to fix this situation. The best two solutions would be to either reset the creatures advancement levels (while retaining their wins, experience, and age) so that they can be re-advanced to the highest level that MP3 allows, or to remove all the creatures entirely and give it custom picked ones. Another option would be to remove the MP level restrictions on the guest account, since combat with it doesn't count, anyway. Not being a coder I don't know how easy any of this would be, but I think it is obvious that as it stands the Guest account isn't fulfilling its intended function.

Today, a family of which I am very good friends had one of their cats pass away. This is the third pet in six weeks, and these people love their pets dearly. This cat has been with them for many years, longer than I have known them, and the young boy was very attached to him. I would like if anyone who is inclined towards prayer would pray for the three of them (mother, daughter and son), and their many remaining pets (Several chickens, some lizards, a dog, a rabbit, guinea pigs, some fish, and a lot of cats). Thankyou.

Its just a reference ID. Helps with special requests and bugs. Generally, you can ignore it.

What Archivists there are generally have specialized roles. Myself, for example, am working hard to gather information on characters of important impact on the MD community so that if someone who deserves entry into the book of legends departs forever, they will not be forgotten. Events such as this get my interest, but with the way people operate now (via YIM, etc) it is almost impossible to find all the facts. There are too many "whys" to write anything more than conjecture without being on the inside. Which is a shame, because this is the exact sort of thing that would get someone into the history books. Second king of Necrovion, Second Rebellion (first with interface), pushing the limits of what kings can do, First land disbanded, wars, the early events in the Archives, the chase of Pamplemousse... a Longer story, but the latest chapters are going to take a long time to unravel. Just because you don't See the fruits of labour does not mean one is not Labouring.

You have got some good ones, to be fair.

Congratulations. And Burns best is a pretty good best

Water isn't supposed to be a high value resource, anyway.

It would be VERY interesting if the Passpapers allowed you to ignore the negative effects of Viscosity on a land...

A very interesting idea! I feel I meet the criteria and would like to volunteer to represent the MDA (although we lack a ruler and hence land laws) That said, I personally think that it would be best if being an LHO was a pre-requesite, as this allows for a forum in which to assess a candidates behavior in the sort of situation they would need to perform this role (This criteria would, of course, exclude me) EDIT: If you do decide on having a representative from each land, and don't enforce a strict LHO criteria, I think it would be a good idea to have the king/queen of Loreroot, Necrovion, Golemus Golemicarum, and Marind Bell choose their own representative from their ranks, since they have the tools to do so.

I believe you use the land that your role is affiliated with, regardless of whether you have yet gained citizenship of that land. Although, I would be confused to see someone posting their role in a land that wasn't theirs if they already had a citizenship for a different land >.> Also, don't forget about [Labyrinth] and [Dominion of Mur] lands.

I'm sorry, I don't see anywhere in that screenshot where it says dst sewed your mouth shut? It only says that your mouth was sewed shut. Are you sure that you uploaded the right file? (Just to clarify, I'm not disputing that it happened, since dst essentially confirmed it herself when she made her post. Just alerting you that your screenshot doesn't seem to provide any further data, other than the obviouse fact that you are seigheart >.>) Oh, and the relevant trigger reads: UID 182140: Item chatban

Have fun on your break.

I would thus suggest that the trigger for Stage 11 be the introduction of the Spent Credits Shop.

Happy late birthday wishes!

Just as a note on the silver, there was a discussion about that somewhere on the forums where Mur said that you Can transfer silver around on your alts and mains, so long as it wasn't gained for free (that was a big part of the issue with the free credits thing). He also stipulated coins gifted by other players didn't count as free, and that getting coins via useing the "free credits" was also earning them as you had to do all the voting work. I can't recall the location of the post and would suggest someone link to it so that we can be completely certain of what it says, I believe it was in a topic by mcvitie asking whether she could sell creatures from her alts and move the silver to her main.

Purely cosmetic, the arrow tip that appears over the arrow from Fenths beach to Bridges of Ages says it goes to Gates of Ages, which is the other side.

[quote name=Ann. 1890 - (2011-07-06 04:46:33 - Stage 10)] Clarification of concept regarding Magic The following article is a "must read" if you care about how magic as a concept is presented in MD, how spells, spelldocs, abilities triggered by chat words function and will be further developed. This is an essential announcement to describe the direction the originality of MD will go when it comes to overused concepts related to "magic". [Link to article] [/quote] The event has not happened yet, but is the re-integration of spell docs. Until then, I don't think stage 10 has ended.

Sheer Brilliance!
