Kyphis the Bard

[quote name='awiiya' date='07 May 2010 - 02:13 AM' timestamp='1273158786' post='59493'] I agree, especially with that it is a job for the legend speakers or the archivists in general. But... where are they? When I stopped the book, I asked for the next archivist who wanted to pick up the project please contact me. Nobody has. Not one. The only person who asked was Kyphis, and all he asked was if I had written it. He didn't mention anything about wanting to continue the project. I would be more than willing to turn it over to the next archivist, but I'm not about to let an important project fall to the wayside because no one is willing to do it. If someone wants to stand up and take the job from me, speak now, please. Awi [/quote] I would gladly take over the project, Awiiya. The reason I asked if you were the one who was maintaining it was because I was interested in seeing more work done on it. I only require one more wishpoint to be able to edit clickables, once that is done I was going to discuss turning the responsibility over to the Speakers. I was not aware that you had already wished to pass the project on, if I had known I would have been more open in my desire to see it continued.

I wish to purchase the hooded figure with the orb. 8 silver.

Really? I'd love to hear anyone who can accurately describe everything Mur has done within the realm

I'll post who won once the time has passed, then once the Judges have chosen their favourite from the remaining entrants I will post who they are and award the Silver

First off: There are two writers Guilds currently, The Archivist and the Legend Speakers. The Archivist are responsible for recording history and hunting down facts about the realm, while the Legend Speakers focus on useing story, poem, music and dance to teach lessons through allegory and symbolism. They share stories about the realm, but unlike the main Archivists, the actual events they describe rarely have happened, it is the ideas that are important. Both the Archivists and the Legend Speakers are teachers to the realm, the Archivists specialize in facts and knowledge while the Legend Speakers focus on morals and ethics. Secondly: While I am in the process of reviving the Legend Speakers, the Archivists are NOT dead. They may not be as active as other alliances, but they are still there working at their role. Point in fact, the Legend Speakers is actually a Guild of the Archivists Alliance, hence if one is active, they both are (at current, and this will only change if one disbands or Mur changes it) Lastly: It is very, VERY rare for Mur to create new alliances right now. If you want into a writers alliance, ask around and see what is available. Find out who the leader is, and contact them about joining. If you DO want to try and create a new alliance, it's a little pretentious to suggest yourself as the leader when you are so new to the game and don't know who else would take an interest. Just as a side note, this sort of topic (writer alliance related stuff and the like) should be posted in the MDA Forum, not General. When you don't know where a topic goes, it IS a good idea to put it in General or Offtopic, but it is an even better idea to see what forums the are from the index

I'm in. Yoshi is a good friend, gotta help him out when I can

Struck by grandeur, bathed in light, Moved to laugh or moved to fight, Clothed in metal, wielding might, Enjoying Life with great delight, You'll be! . We are the gate to the MDA, Champions fight or come to play, Seat of mystery, some would say, We'll hold the blight of shades at bay, You'll see! . But do not think us all a Saint For even Angiens have a taint Paradise for sure this ain't And rosey view I would not paint For Thee! . Now peace is fleeting like the frost By wars this land we did exhaust And murder foul came with high cost For Marind's soul now wanders lost Poor she! . And ruined does the city lie Perhaps to rise yet by and by, Now truth it is so hard to spy But don't despair and do not sigh, I plea! . We guardians of a lost city Find strength in our diversity Marind's Folk in league, you see, Champions of adversity We'll be. . The Winderwild on graceful wing, And Scout of Air, both news will bring, While many Birds of cheer all sing, Of winged tower and noble King, From tree! . Heretic Archers by our side Speak truth to all and never lied For truth to show and never hide Is what you'll seek if here abide With me! . Angiens flare beside the shrine And Elementals form a line Here by a lake of tears of brine This is the home that I'd call mine With thee![/quote] Blackwood Forest - Ruler of the sky [quote]Some time ago I found an egg, I took a look, without a scratch! Grabbed it from that open shrine, Whispered silent – now you are mine! . Kept you warm and safe as well, Days have passed upon your shell. Then one day, I heard you knock, You hatched out, and broke your lock. . Thiny little birdy mine, I will need to feed you fine. You should guide me well in fight, Some day maybe when you gain might. . For now you´re sitting on my shoulder, Freezer in battle, crit's get colder. Make them move none at all, Now I strike, they will all fall! . Now your aged, increased at size, Choosing you, back then was wise. Giant bird, supporting friend, By my side, until the end. . When I aid the wounds of mine, I let you fly until skyline. Proud ruler of the sky you are, Let my spirit with you soar! . But what do I see, another bird? Approaching there, it comes from the north. Now the battle will be even, If there wouldn't be the token between them .[/quote] Indyra Sirenias - Solitude [quote]In the barren heart of the desolated desert, Where the sand sheds his immortality, Somewhere in a concrete time and Universe, Where happiness, arise it's verse. . In the blue abyss of the eternal glaciers Where the wind sings his whispers Where the waters splash on hard rocks Where destiny was never present. . There is a desolate, deep, hidden place Where the wind eulogizes burials And tears sink it into crying sighs, There I am. A soul lost in one word.[/quote] addy - Shores of happiness [quote]Insanity grips me,as my mind begins to sway, It takes a path away from which I want to stay, Images of her face flow through my mind, Whenever this happens,a pain I do find, This pain I have fealt so many times before, Insanity grips me,and I lose my shore, Shore of happiness is from where I sway, To the land of misery,here to stay, Sometimes I wish things weren't like they are, Sometimes I wish joy and sadness were at a par, Till now I have been sunk in tides of sadness, The pain I experience driving me to madness, Sometimes I wish things didn't happen like they did, It seems as if from me happiness has gotten rid, If only the shore of happiness wasn't so far still.... If only my life wasn't crushed like hay in the mill.... If only I am not tormented whenever I think.... If only I didn't think about her whenever I blink.... If only this pain I didn't have to endeavour.... If only this pain wasn't with me forever.... If only things weren't like they are.... If only the shore of happiness wasn't so far.... [/quote] Lord Beta Wolfeyes - The Truth Behind The Eyes [quote]When you look, In to the Eyes, Of the people that you love. Do you see a Playful Devil there? Or the Angels high above? When you look, In to the Eyes, Of the people that you know. Do you see a Pit of Darkness there? Or the Innocence of Snow. When you look, In to the Eyes, Of the people on the streets. Do you feel all of their Bitterness? Or the Kicks of many feet? When you look, In to the Eyes, Of those about to die. Do you see a Bliss of Ignorance? Or the Fear within their Eyes? When you look, In to the Eyes, You see within the mirror. Do You wish to Know all of these things? Or do You even Care?[/quote] BFH LIGHTHING - Magic Duel Adventures in our Lives [quote]A game was created, for us to enjoy. Magic Duel Adventures has been named, by his creator in joy. . Fighting, sharing and socializing, makes us realize, the incredible features, this game provides. . Oh! Magic Duel Adventures, you are part of our lives. Many didn't realize, your position in our hearts. . We thank you, for the fun you provide, because without Magic Duel Adventures, we truly can't survive. . No other game, could be compared, with Magic Duel Adventures, the best of all games.[/quote] Grido - Unlucky [quote]One, Two, Three, Four, I open my arms, And head out the doors, Slap go my hands, On the narrow door-frame, Bang goes my head, On the low ceiling pane, I set out for the day, With bruises and sighs, Not knowing if it, Will get better or worse, Walk down the path, With a hop and a skip, Trip over a rock, And land on my hind, Now down the street, I go under a ladder, Step on a crack, And there goes my mother, Now into the shop, I sit down with a cry, It isn't my time, Not yet to die.[/quote] Allyce - Amalgam [quote]And I don't kill the deeps of darkness with my mind, Because of magic spells And other misterious things that I could find. Because of my traveller body Which meets a sparkle in a morning From the beginning of the life, till the end and beyond. But, in a few days you'll find your shadow, Your fairy and unpredictable soul, Which has nothing to hide. Isn't watched or kept by any guardian, It travels alone and it's always tired Without any doubt we'll catch it, In the place that we know. Only the sparkle remains after all this damn amalgam And it's sweet or maybe sour. It'll be my insomnia which you'll know. But leave my mind, come into my heart. We'll still make it trough We'll pass together the path of earth, sky or moon, And we'll take the first tought and leave this world.[/quote] Full chat log for the event (including other poems) here: [attachment=1644:Willows Bell Poetry Contest, Willows Walk 0001-0230 (3.5.10, Day 122).doc] [Asterdai's poem is not included, as he requested for it not to be]

I won't be awake until shortly before the event begins, so I wish all the lyricists who have yet to enter a good Muse and a fast mind. See you all tomorrow, ~Kyphis

If that one hasn't been purchased yet, I would like to buy it.

[quote name='Lord Beta Wolfeyes' date='30 April 2010 - 04:07 PM' timestamp='1272604023' post='58976'] Pazur shall be acting as my proxy also i give you permission to post it on the forums, however please do not use it for highschool poetry assingments,as i intend to one day publish a book of my poetry! [/quote] Don't worry, we frown on plagiarism

Please don't do this Mur >.< I LIKE not knowing the answers to the questions. The most important part of this game to me is the questions, not the answers. Just pelt the dissenters with Oranges until they are comatose, no one will miss them

(I won't post this one the signup page since I'm not signing up) Since anyone entering GG during the contest who isn't signed up will get sent to Jain, Perhaps you should either put a big warning at the entrance to the labyrinth telling the newbies not to enter right now, or simply remove the GG exit point until the contest ends >.> Also, I think that this contest would be a great function for the Champions Mines atop the Champions Stairs to be utilized, the idea I have in my head is like an underground version of the labyrinth. The place is for Champions, so why not a Champions event? You could even run the Boss Heads at the same time as the normal heads, and make it so that it was a different heads icon that only appeared inside the Champions Mines (as that is its scoring area) and to enter the mines, you have to have a medal from the original HC.

[quote name='Fyrd Argentus' date='25 April 2010 - 01:03 AM' timestamp='1272117791' post='58536'] Let me add that I can serve as proxy for people (Addy has asked), but I would like to be scheduled in the first hour or maybe two. I might not be able to commit 3 hours that day. [/quote] I'll bear that in mind when I schedule the performances for the day.

I'd just like to add to Chewetts 3A) answer that the story doesn't finsh at each chapter, some mind power levels have multiple chapters to their story before you advance. For example, MP3/4 both have two chapters (3 if you include the introduction)

Personally, while I like that idea, since they are the work of another artist I think it would be best if you simply re-drew your avatar from scratch, with the changes you wanted implemented. Changing someone elses artwork without their permission is incredibly rude, so I doubt it would get accepted without being re-done completely.

Slot 1 is the middle slot, slot two is the left slot, and slot three is the right on the top line. Slot four is the left, five is the middle, and six is the right on the bottom line. And yes, the regen timer is odd, I believe it is so because it is server side and hence doesn't sync properly.

[quote name='Grido' date='21 April 2010 - 08:22 PM' timestamp='1271841766' post='58336'] In game also has a finite limit, both are to prevent spamming, IaB can confirm the spam limit in game. [/quote] I know, but I'm fairly certain it is a higher limit. Also, the limit for sending PMs is irrelevant in this case. While the In-game PM folder is only a certain length, it does continue to grow, allowing me to simply save each poem as it comes in. Thankyou for your concern though, its good to hear you contributing your knowledge to help this event succeed
