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.

Harpy birdday

[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!

Happy Birthday, smelly goat!

I've done Winderwild, Aramour, and Mur >.> They actually googled Mur

Happy Birthday, MacMushroom Priestess!

*wonders if items with spells on them can imbue their spells upon memory stones* (not likely due to the minimal casts thing though)

I see nothing wrong at all with making this topic, nor the initial post. This event occurred quite some time ago, and clearly most people are still wondering what is going on from the responses to this topic. That said, I do agree with Granos, the best way to handle this is to simple talk to him to see if he is willing to tell you why he did it. Knowing Jester, I doubt most of you will get a response, but also, knowing Jester, and Granos, there is probably a pretty good reason for this to be happening. Again, that said, this topic, to me, seems more about the general question "should kings/queens be able to join alliances of other lands", and useing Jester as a case study, rather than trying to nitpick and say Jester is being a bad king for doing that, blahblahblah. In my opinion, it is perfectly acceptable for kings/queens to join any of the other NON-main lands. If they have not told their citizens why, or the citizens don't trust their leaders decision to do so, they run the risk of rebellion. But that is only their citizens choice to make, and, honestly, they don't owe anyone else other than Mur an explanation. That said, while I think it is, and should be, acceptable, I don't like it and it doesn't sit right with me.

Happy B-Day

Another factor that seems to impact it is that if your VE/VP is ALREADY at max, it will fairly commonly not got over. I have been getting that for years, I find the easiest way to fix it (if that is your issue) is to just push your VP higher (walk around a little) and your VE lower (have a fight), as it only occurs if that are AT max, not over or above.

I'm just surprised that we don't have birthday topics every day of the year yet

I had the issue, but cleared cache and everything was fine (Firefox, most recent version)

[quote name=Announcements] Ann. 1896 - [2011-07-09 03:33:48 - Stage 10] Memory stones functionality is done. They work in the following way: If you have a memory stone, and a spell, you can use all the casts of that spell at once to "memorize" that spell into the stone, enchanting it. The memory stone will then transform into an enchanted stone, named after the stored spell. This is a usable, tradeable item. When someone uses it, it will grant that person a limited number of casts from the stored spell, till the casts get consumed or for a period of 6 month. When casts run out or 6 month pass, the spell will vanish from that persons spells. Memory stones are a resource type of item and its gathering will be possible soon.[/quote] [quote name=Announcements] Ann. 1899 - [2011-07-09 07:38:06 - Stage 10] Acquiring memory stones Aranna and Lone Wolf were granted the stone detector item to be able to gather the memory stone resource and make it avaiable on the market (at prices or requirements they decide). This is not a guild, it is a freelance activity and a temporary way to make memory stones available and analyse market evolution and use. The tools can be taken away from them at any time but their trade benefits and/or gathered stones will remain as their reward. Aranna and Lone Wolf are supposed to be competing traders of the Memory stone resource so be sure you check both their offers when you wish to aquire a memory stone from them. This is experimental, discuss it on forum.[/quote] Firstly, I would like to point out that at current there is not a Guild for the gathering of Memory Stones. This post is just about discussing which land it should be allied with should a formal guild ever be established for this purpose. To this end, I would like people to respond to the above poll. I think it would be a good idea if a representative from each interested land would post an argument for why it should be in their land. Remember of course that this is just getting your opinion, Mur as always has the final say and may have already decided a land for this guild, should he ever make it a guild. I believe this guild would be most suited to the Archives. The Archives are a neutral land, and we already have a treasury for supporting our projects. Most of our members are also adept spell casters, allowing for spells to be added to memory stones in the same place they are purchased. As we are required to remain Neutral, wars and other political developments should not impact our probability of selling wares to any person, nor should we have much difficulty harvesting the memory stones when required. I would also like to see this guild located in the Archives, as I believe that it will help to promote interest in the MDA. Because a lot of the duties that the Archivists and Legend Speakers perform are not widely publicized, a lot of people ignore the Archives. [[i]The following is purely my own reasons, and not representative of the archives in any way beyond myself[/i]] I do not believe that the Guild, if created, should be associated with Marind Bell, as they now have the Water Gatherers. As a main land, it would also make situations complex in the event of war, even if the guild is itself neutral. I do not believe that the Guild, if created, should be associated with Loreroot, as they already have the Woodcutters. Again, they also have complications in the event of war, however in the past we have seen that Lorerootian Alliances tend to be more liberal, so this is less of a concern. I do not believe that the Guild, if created, should be associated with Necrovion, because their land already contains many, many secrets and natural resources. I also believe they would be the most likely to close borders in the event of war or other political instability. [color="#C0C0C0"]Note to the Mods: If the King/Queen of one of the four lands requests that one of their subjects posts be removed from this topic, I'm not going to mind (ie, you have free reign to edit this topic without discussing/notifying me). Primarily this is in relation to the idea it be a leader chosen representative who presents the argument for that land.[/color]
