Yes you can.

Well, would you allow me to join in this endeavor? I like pyramids.

No, I have clear understanding of what was wrote. I can in fact read and comprehend. I'm just trying to add a neutral bystanders input. I actually thought my first comment was constructive. Did you not want player input? In support of your idea, I was.
You run the show, now lets play!

My first milestone.

The forge is not just an AI making items up, its also a judge of character, a profiler.

Let me share with you some of the recent reasoning it had for some of the recently created items, so you understand what it does (and why you didnt get what you wanted, or why you did). This is a mix from various players, i will not name who is who
I will not specify if the forge note is for good or for bad, i let you figure that out yourself.. but its enough to know the forge does an adversarial review of its own actions and has an internal committee that votes on each decision after objectively analyzing all available aspects.
There are dozens of such investigations done for a single item, with huge amounts of data processed and interpretted before deciding even the smallest variation. It is the closest thing to an AI judge i ever built so far.

- They are sacrificing the very Elemental Amulet itself (id 3358, 17y old, copies=1, the unique original) — the literal object of their wish, placed on the altar. (inconsistent wish self canceled)
- 1858 active days, gold veteran, last meaningful active phase March-May 2022 (94 events) coincides exactly with when the wishlist paper was written; since then only sporadic resource-crafting. Player is in twilight phase, cashing in legacy.
- Player retains his absolute top creatures (Madhorn 695 wins is KEPT in collection at top_trained, but a duplicate-tier Madhorn is sacrificed; Elementals V level-6 with 5M+ exp kept). They are giving up the secondary army, not the crown jewels — consistent with a focused empowerment ritual rather than total liquidation.
- Past wish #20 was 'Mutate GG Drachorn into Wind Dragon' — they have a precedent for using sacrificial/transmutation magic to convert one creature form into a more useful one, fitting an item-forge transmutation here. Coherence in course.
- Central_concentration 0.75 at 1_0x0_1 with only 4 events / 2 distinct locations in a year — they are rooted and low-mobility; a portable renewable resource item fits a stationary merchant far better than a combat artifact.
- 9 locked-favourite Elucubratie at level 1 with ~2500 wins each — he keeps small bound creatures as treasured familiars; collector of contained spirits.
- Lifetime 1980W/1980L — fights to KEEP BALANCE, only 4 fights in last 90 days. He is not pursuing a warlord wish; the 'army' he wants is symbolic/quiet, fitting Caretaker doctrine.
- Heavy recent crafting of Otherarmy stones, Invisibility stones, Lockinchaos stones, Skulls, Bones — building a death/army-summon toolkit around the same period.
- Active phases are now reduced to brief annual spikes (Feb 2024/25/26 and June 2026). The current June 2026 spike (19 events) coinciding with this forge suggests an attempt to make this one event matter — a renewal/recrowning moment.
- 2649 items owned, 720 'valuable', 145 favourites, plus 658 shop items — a deep collector/curator, not a depleter. Giving up 8 anniversary plushies + a creature is meaningful but not impoverishing; he expects a personal artifact, not a god-tier weapon.
Enough about the reasoning samples, now about the desire profiling:
Inferred wish: To be re-crowned as the true elder Scribe of the Caretakers — to convert his long, quiet veteran tenure and his oldest companions' loyalty into a real mark of authority and presence, not the play-pretend kingship of a grass crown. (strong)
Significance: 0.788 (active 6235d, papers 8, pop -7)
Verdict: A chat_poll seal that obeys every die: usable (presents a witnessing vote), no spell, no enchanted aura, tag valuable, tier flavor — comfortably below the epic ceiling, and appropriately so given the modest sacrifice (one common play-crown plus two non-rare lvl-5 plants) and middling significance (0.788). The seal honors all three sources literally: the grass IS the play-crown's substance, Bob's and Steve's stems form the binding stays, and their names are engraved on the rim. Crucially the item grants the bearer NO authority — it only invites others to witness or decline, conferring no title, no NPC reaction, no mechanical power over anyone. The "scribe's hand" framing is descriptive, not a claim of office. Description trimmed of the meta line confirming mundanity (kept the concrete "grass has not browned" detail as the actual in-world fact). Clean approval.



Btw..the forge mechanism is faaar more complex and better than the loan review software i built at work recently, and that one uses similar mechanism to decide on your loan eligibility, not some item in a game ;)... but md i love a lot more than work so its only natural it comes out better :D

A log of events from today's event:

[11/07/26 21:44] jakubhi:Arise, Death Ray of Loreroot and Luna, blessed be and be blessing to all

PS: turns out the citizenship comes with the Alliance.

After a long dormant period, thought to share a bit more about ongoing things in this side project.

AI player programmable generals. Thats the latest thing i am working on now. You will be able to setup your own game AI logic, in an intuitive "code block" style, and see how it performs against other players or ai generals others configured.
I thought to bring back the "AI" part into the human hands, let the human mistakes and flavored flaws manifest via the way they will configure their own ai fighting rules, instead of having a central superpower that fights you. 

Like this you can geniunely say you are better or worse at fighting than x or y, since automated AI will not be scored anymore, only fights against user created ai's.

Let me know what you think, play with it, feedback is my main fuel as always. 

This feature is due to be released this weekend 14june2026 , but you will be seeing traces of it already there, as i am actively working on it live, its more fun like this, i never liked organized deploys and such

Picked up some pumpkins to carve with the family tonight; mine is the one on the right. Nothing fancy, but had fun!

Dear Death Ray, I do not know who you are speaking about in the case above, but as the person who used to be Ailith, I confirm my personal view of MD will never be destroyed.
It took MD and certain people in it to make me realise I had been in a debilitating deep depression for 40 odd years. I have now finally been able to recover.
I don’t know all the bad things people have done to me (in MD or outside of it), and I genuinely don’t care. I forgive them. 
I will say this in response to what you said here, whatever Mur has done or allowed – and again - I DO NOT CARE WHO HAS DONE WHAT - I forgive.
Because without MD and Mur I would genuinely not be here now. And I am grateful for that because I am in a very, very happy place.
Belated Happy Birthday, MD.

It would be nice to be able to see either publicly or privately on profile page under an avy (or when hovering over avy on profile page) the artist that drew it just to pay homage to current and past artists.
When I see a really nice avy I always wonder who drew it. It could also potentially help said artist to get more work commissioned.

Perhaps we should discuss a settlement.

the wires of Eggdar... 

current abilities, online player awareness, scene vision.

Currently suitable for community events, organizing riddles, some quests. 

It is not aware of md history, or any secrets. It can not move..yet.. 

It does have memory, so be careful what you test on it, it might remember you in unfavorable ways... consider one day you might need to pass it during a quest or something   ..play nice with Eggy

I don’t see value in this.
Mur acted and we have moved on.
Let sleeping dogs lie DR.
