[quote name='Muratus del Mur' date='28 September 2009 - 04:28 AM' timestamp='1254072535' post='42961'] Public opinion is a powerful jury. Here in MD votes will not count as number but as value, so if you plan on doing a voting thing, then you will have to send them to me, with _strong_ reasons, and your personal reputation will count as the vote weight. [/quote] [quote name='awiiya' date='01 October 2009 - 06:37 AM' timestamp='1254339422' post='43268'] Also, why is Kingship going to a vote? Votes are for appointed leaders of democracy, where everyone's opinion is equal. This should be determined by a fight, because the King is the strongest person in a land, not the one that everybody likes the most. True, death means very little in Magic Duel, which is the source of a lot of problems, including this one. If Yrthilian could just kill Grido, rather than exiling him, this whole business would be avoided, and he would be even more of a leader. Unfortunately that is not so. But in the spirit of the Kingship, and what that means, I think Yrthilian is perfectly in his power. King's powers derive from the Gods, not from his subjects, at least that is the way it was set up in the past. You dare question someone who is appointed by God(s)? In short, Yrthilian's power should not end because he angered his subjects, and they hold a silly vote. No! It should end when there is a coup, a show of military strength that Yrthilian is NOT the strongest person in the world, and NOT appointed by God. [/quote] This vote is serving as the stand in for military action, because as you say death hasn't got that much meaning in the realm. The vote is essentially the coup. As Mur said, the decision is going to be made based on both our reason AND our reputation. If the vote had all the strongest members of GG supporting Yrthilian, and twice as many against him, I doubt he would be kicked from rulership as in a war of succession he would easily win. HOWEVER, if it came to that, he'd no longer be a King, but a true Tyrant/Dictator, and I doubt that that is what Yrthilian would want. Then again, if the strongest member all voted against Yrthilian but the majority was at least or more than twice as many against him, I wouldn't be surprised to see every single one of the people who voted against him kicked from Golemus >.> Remember what was said when Raven wanted to be King? "If you fail, there will be consequences"... I think this sort of action is would have far more impacting repercussions for failure than Raven's simple election, and the threat from that was Imprisonment. Think long and hard about what your reason is and who you really support before you vote on this... ----- Off Topic: Who keeps voting negatively for Yrthilian's posts? Those last ones were very good, and didn't deserve the negative reputation. Voting purely because you don't like the person is a bit petty, show some maturity.

*laughs* The HC always makes things interesting >.>

[quote name='DarkPriestess' date='28 September 2009 - 11:20 AM' timestamp='1254097208' post='43048'] I also would like to say that both Yrthilian and Mur were informed that I was going to do it. I did not ask for permission from them, I merely informed that I would do it. And so I did. Now, can we please go back on topic? [/quote] Fair enough That is an RPC issue now, and not this topics... well, topic.

Good to hear that it's proving a positive result so far, lets just hope we can keep it going

Good to hear your support, Whitewater And congratulations on joining the Forum community

I'm more hoping to create an area where people can train for experience, similar to how there is the GGG to train without experience. The Sparring Grounds is an area that you can train for experience, but because you can only do it off of idlers who are after losses, the gains aren't that good. I know that there are going to be big challenges to this, but I am hoping that with the attitude of fighters I have seen at the Sparring Grounds, this will get a positive reaction.

That's what I'm doing I'm going to be spending a lot of time there trying to encourage people to fight there.

[quote name='dst' date='27 September 2009 - 11:34 PM' timestamp='1254054864' post='42876'] Why higher levels? Mp3s and mp4s can get tokens. It may have a good start but I think soon it will degenerate. Why do you think GGG and SG have all those rules? [/quote] I'm more interested in getting it off the ground, as far as figuring out how to get it to work I'm leaving that up to people with more influence. Hence why the topic name is "Help". I'm asking for help in this. And It's more of an issue at higher levels because people at higher levels are more likely to have been playing longer, and hence gained more credit to spend on tokens.

[quote name='dst' date='27 September 2009 - 11:14 PM' timestamp='1254053665' post='42874'] Free battling area? Are you kidding me? Sure, I would love one but be serious! That cannot happen due to the tokens. Players with tokens will always (or ok..98% of the time) win. That will be a slaughter house and soon everybody that is not strong enough will leave. Think about it. [/quote] Fair point. But how people deal with that is something they will need to consider themselves, and that is usually more of an issue for the higher MP Levels only.

Yes, it's essentialy a free-for-all area. And the GoE doesn't have the same history as Willows

In response to a point raised by .Shadowseeker.: I am aware that the Willows Shop training area used to be primarily used by MP5, however this doesn't mean other MP levels shouldn't come here to practice fighting as well. I also think that MP5's would be able to benefit from a training area devoted to experience fighting as a counter balance for the Golden Globe Gazebo, an area also used by all MP levels.

I am putting the word out to help Revive Willows Shop as a place for serious fighting. If you support the idea, show it by coming to Willows Shop in Marind's Bell and fighting.

[quote name='Jester' date='25 September 2009 - 12:21 PM' timestamp='1253841674' post='42616'] Its my first week as an alliance leader and one of the oldest alliances in the realm is disbanded and one of the strongest just got beaten by what used to be one of the weakest. I think I've done enough for the first week, thanks. Don't worry though, I'm just getting started. [/quote] I'm glad to hear it

[quote name='Pipstickz' date='25 September 2009 - 11:44 AM' timestamp='1253839498' post='42607'] He may have already carried it out, who knows? Well I'm sure a bunch of people know, but anyways...xD [/quote] I refer not to his attempt to destroy Khazaldad's soul, which he has already carried out, but his mad attempts to regain what is lost to him.

Yrthilian, stop this madness...

I wonder if you will make an Alliance that interests me more than they who have spoken for me...

Oh yes, this should be interesting...

The Achievements page is up, but even though I have the achievements conditions it doesn't unlock... any possibility we could get an example of how to "Unlock" an achievement?

Surprised these haven't been suggested yet... "For the Bunny Empire!" "Down with the Bunny Empire!" Edit: Just thought of these: "I activated the Loreroot Land Weapon and all I got was this Gaping Head-wound!" "I attacked the GGG and all I got was this smelly corpse! ... wait..." "I invaded Necrovion and all I got has this Soul Stealing Monster! Huh, that was probably worth it"

Combination of only just finding out, not having that many Maxed Citters, and unclear rewards. Also, another exploit: Burst

[quote name='Thomas Riddle' date='31 August 2009 - 02:31 PM' timestamp='1251689490' post='40505'] ...Canadians eh? We should kill not only werewolves, but the un-MD entities lurking around the realm, like vampires etc, if, however they commit an unethical behaviour... Vampires in MD? *OMGWTFROFLOLOLOL* XD [/quote] Clearly someone needs to pay more atention to the Unholy Priests, Tormented Souls, and other similar creatures...

Ah, okay. So it's more like X360 sort of thing... That said, it doesn't exclude my suggestion for HC achievements...

Some suggestions about the HC medal (because I hate people waiting around at MP3 just to get it) Different, better looking Medal for each MP and placing (ie MP5 first place looks better than say MP3 third place). Perhaps make the heads more aggressive looking? How about a medal for getting first place AFTER you have an HC medal? And another one for being in the last spot on the leader board ("Fallen Hunter/Rising Star", depending on whether they have placed before or not, but only one of the two) And what about a medal for the BPG puzzle? >Edit: Here's one that people won't want to get... Trade a first, second, or third generation avatar back to the shop ("Wandering Ancestor") > >Could also have one for trading multiple avatars, say "Shape shifter" for 10, and "Master shape-changer" for 25. > >Hehe... why not "Body-snatcher" for someone who trades 50 avatars back to the shop? > >These ones would be murder to get your hands on...

[quote name='aero' date='17 August 2009 - 03:16 PM' timestamp='1250482594' post='39669'] I'm fairly certain my logic is sound jester. It may not be the way you would like to think but it is true. I would like you to try and name any instance where anyone has done anything that was not intended to gain something. [/quote] Your logic IS sound, but not for anything like the reasons you think it is... But as you requested, I will PM you why I disagree with your opinion...
