Lazarus

[Changed the scoring system]

Selfish for me is just pure selfishness to profit oneself and no one else. I will vote for the most selfish requests, because that's what the council asked. No bias or whatsoever either. These are the most selfish requests that I've seen so far and should be granted in my opinion. My top 10: 1. Tipu - Jail Key [color=#b22222][Score - 10][/color] 2. Leixer - Eleixer of Death [color=#b22222][Score - 9][/color] 3. No one - Traveler's shoes item [color=#b22222][Score - 8][/color] 4. Dragonrider - Token Melting spell [color=#b22222][Score - 7][/color] 5. Burns - Drach Melodic Charm [color=#b22222][Score - 6][/color] 6. Liberty - Seduction lvl 9 Spell Doc [color=#b22222][Score - 5][/color] 7. Grido - 1000 Land loyalty pts [color=#b22222][Score - 4][/color] 8. Tal - Ability to change the viscosity in LR to high amounts [color=#b22222][Score - 3][/color] 9. Seigheart - Ancient key to Mur's Dominion [color=#b22222][Score - 2][/color] 10. Phantasm - Access to Dominion [color=#b22222][Score - 1][/color] [color=#000000]This could be changed if there will be some changes.[/color] EDIT: Changed the voting system and removed unnecessary words.

I want to share this piece of music from the movie "Passion of the Christ." It is just so beautifully done that I have to share it to everyone. The beat of the drums, the angelic yet diabolic voice of the choir, the sequencing, pitch, tonality, everything comes from the heart, this is how it affects me.

This is merely a hybrid of update and a little rant. Due to the events that has happened to my old, and now, a recent transaction such as non-payment and non redeeming of my service from three players, I will be raising the price starting[color=#b22222] February 1st[/color] of this year to keep it from the wrong hands such as the ones that I have mentioned. It has happened on multiple occasions now. I am conducting a business here to raise funds on my upcoming quest this year, it will be my first one and I am looking for it to be a massive hit, but to accomplish this, [color=#ff0000]I expect to be paid for my service[/color]. Now, I understand if the timing isn't right sometimes, but atleast send me a lousy message via forum or in-game as I am active 24 hours even if I am at work to let me know the next step. Do not tell me your excuses as I gave all of you three (you know very well who you are) a deadline of sending me a notification about the payment. I made an affordable price for the majority of the players to get a hold of, but since it is being taken advantage of, I had a change of heart. I will increase the price from: [color=#daa520][b]2 Gold Coins[/b][/color] - to - [b][color=#daa520]4 Gold Coins[/color][/b] [b][color=#b22222]$15 Credits[/color][/b] - to - [b][color=#b22222]$40 Credits[/color][/b] And this time, [color=#b22222]payment first before I surrender to your demands[/color]. I do hope you all understand. It is my time that I am sacrificing here, I spend 2-3 hours of work for one_single_artwork, add to that the time I spend for changes / remodifications / waiting / re-doing of the artworks. I will let go of those incidents and will bury it as a part of my past, as I understand I have a very bad reputation from my time before and I will count it as my own personal karma, but know this, the next time this happens, not only will the MD court be involved, I will also have you be a subject of my own "personal involvement." And by the way, don't bother to ask for my services if you won't use your avatar in game, it just breaks my heart knowing that I spent my time on it, just to find out that you won't use it anyways. It's just saddening. That is all I have to share, my rantings and update ends now. Thank you for reading and for understanding. And ofcourse, happy duelling to all. [EDIT: This has absolutely nothing to do with the bidders, this is about a specific person not responding to my messages after I've done the artworks and not redeem it, the same happened to the other but in this case he got it, just didn't hear from him since. [color=#ff0000][b]This can now be locked[/b][/color].]

[color=#000000]Update:[/color][b][color=#ff0000] This avatar will no longer be available due to technical issues.[/color][/b] [s]However, the bidding will still continue until 00:00 server time today. To compensate for the loss, I will do a very fine quality of an avy of the winner's choosing. It will be available for preview 4 hours after the bidding has ended, should the bidders notify me to continue or cancel this offer. I will be waiting until 23:00 server time for the response by posting here or via forum PM. If I don't hear anything then I will just cancel it. I apologize for the disappointment.[/s] [color=#ff0000][b]EDIT : [/b][/color][color=#b22222]I've decided to do each of the bidders an avatar of their choosing for the price they have offered, if they are interested that is. Just PM me the complete details of the avatar you want me to make and I will work on it asap. And again, I apologize for the disappointment.[/color] [color=#000000]This thread can be closed now.[/color]

I will also offer to whoever wins this avatar a re-modification based on whatever their preferences are. This is roughly a standard sketching. If they want it to make a one-eyed Fiju-looking avatar, I can do that. It is editable.

I agree with Rhaegar, the procedure is rather inconvenient specially for me, because my reputation has been horrifically stained to the lowest level, but it would be great if we just shut up and do what the council says, they are the one who gave us this opportunity and it gave us a chance to wish / request that we want, we should be grateful they came up with this. As for me I have multiple requests/wishes. I will be most selfish about them as I really want to acquire these to be able to play my role well: 1. I wish for my item's name "[color=#b22222]Heart in a Jar[/color]" to be replaced with "[color=#b22222]Heart of Lazarus[/color]," its functionality will be to resurrect the deceased, as this will be the[color=#b22222] [u]most essential[/u] [/color]piece to my character's story and roleplay. 2. I wish for a killing item call it "[color=#808080]Black Liquid[/color]." It is a very poisonous substance that comes out of Lazarus' body with a very foul and unbearable smell. I don't know how to say this without spoiling my plot, but let's just say I need this for the latter time. [s]3. I wish for a reviving spell called "Kiss of Resurrection" to resurrect the deceased. My character's essence is resurrection, so it would be sensible for Lazarus to have this spell.[/s] 4. I wish for my own flag, just like Shadowseeker's, and it will be called "[color=#a52a2a]The Infernal Order[/color]," I will choose and hand out the invites to those characters who deserves them, ofcourse I have to see whether they have the qualities I am looking for or not. [s]5. I wish for my own place within the realm, I will provide the artworks if needed.[/s] 6. The sixth and final one: the return of my Bull creature that I've received from Christmas 2009 -or- the Necrovion creature on Zleiphneir's Bestiary page (the one he won from Kafuuka's quest about torturing devices). My reason is I want to collect all Necrovion creatures and it is ofcourse a part of my character's loyalty to Necrovion. I do realize that these are ridiculously insane, but these kinds of chances only goes once in our MD lifetime, so there they are. Also, it will strictly be for my character's story and roleplay, nothing else. EDIT: Forget the 5th one, that was too much. EDIT 2: Merged the 3rd with the Heart's functionality. Also, changed names.

I think the real issue here is not the statements, but a much deeper, a personal one, something that has to do with your mind. They see your statements as contradicting simply because they don't have the same understanding of things as you do. You may perceive one thing different than the others, and I believe you're crossing that very fine line between the borders of intelligence and insanity. We, as humans, are facing a lot of challenges in life, it greatly affects our way of thinking, stress, anxiety, happiness, grief, all these emotions comes into play, but it's not these emotions that fueled your mind to think about these complex ideas, it's the "momentum" which is influenced by new ideas and new knowledge. We form an idea and we want to share it to the world and we try to see if they do think the same as ourselves. Now, having said that, you had your momentum going, you formed a brand new idea or enlightenment and you put that on a sheet of paper for you to remember, then something happened, good or bad, the momentum is lost. One day you have it again, you formed a brand new idea and you tried to incorporate it to your previous idea that has the same context, but this one has a slightly different taste to it, the reason why is because when something happened to us after we formed the previous one, it left a trail of that feeling to our basic understanding of things, it affected our way of thinking but not in a grand scale, so the outcome is a bit different. We see it differently because of the way it is perceived in a totally separate time frames, thus when you had the clear picture of everything in your mind, you started writing on it, and thinks of some additional information/ideas, which often makes your mind jump to different ones and eventually to the ideas that has nothing to do with your current one, like when you're browsing some hits by Adele on youtube, then an hour later you couldn't even remember what leads you to watch a video of Fly porn on the National Geographic youtube channel. I think what I'm trying to say is that time affects ideas, ideas affects momentum, and momentum affects motivation, sometimes a "shortcut" goes in between the sequence so it leads to losing all of the core subject as to why the hell are we doing the things we do. So Mur, to me your fragments are not contradicting, it's just has that different taste, maybe because of the wordings. And you not crazy, you're just psychologically enchanted with batshit insane flying ideas in full color wandering at the speed of light in your surroundings. I apologize if it doesn't make any sense, the Lager made my head a little bit unbalanced tonight and it will surely affect my future, which is called "tomorrow" when I decide to clean up my place in an entropical way. Adieu!

M. To me it symbolizes power, integrity, proportionality and balance. Also, it's the first letter of my real name.

Perma-banned for using a banhammer.

Hmmm I like your concept of the creature being an infant, there is this dark feeling about it in a very subtle way. Do you mind me borrowing it? And also, I'd agree with the two posts above, it's pretty much overpowered, I suggest you lower the percentage of the auras and just focus on the damage or its basic abilities.

Greetings to everyone, It has been a long time since I got active in the realm, and back then I didn't have any clear role about my character, Lazarus, and my goals for him are very very ambitious. Now I think it is about time to officially announce and share to you all about my character's role in the realm. A brief history: Lazarus was the former leader of the Necrovion Sentinels during the war of King Jester, until it was dissolved. His participation in the war was minimal, but his dedication to Necrovion, and back then, to the Lands of the East, is beyond measure. He was one of the earliest members of the Seal of Six, with Granos as the leader, he supported my character very well so Lazarus will always be an Easternian as it was my original goal for him to be a citizen of that land, but this has changed overtime. He served the reigning leaders of the lands to the best of his abilities, whether it is wisdom, arts, or mere support in battles. He is usually seen in the Golden Globe Gazebo, training really hard and using it as his advantage to dominate his Mindpower level. He was one of the most powerful MP4's back then, but he could not beat some of the members of the other alliance for their strength and high principles. After the war, he continued to train and grind, but I did not see the fact that I was losing my character bit by bit, as he continues to train, his influence and roleplay decreased overtime. He then decided to quit training as I find his stats enough and I want to continue roleplaying with him, because only through it will I be able to mold my character to its maximum potential. Then the unexpected happened, I destroyed my character through my lack of sensitivity towards others, I was constantly being rude to other people in RL and always laughing at their misfortune, and this has greatly affected my characters. I had enemies, and they are among the most influential people in MD. With this, Lazarus was feeling dead, he walked towards the Deathmarrow to sacrifice himself to the wholeness of Necrovion and spoke his last words, then he disappeared... Two years later, the Demon of the East found his corpse in the depths of Necrovion. The Demon was conducting an experiment to his corpse, constantly running demonstrations, until a spark of life emanated from within the corpse of my character. Lazarus is reborn, revitalized, and resurrected. On the 317th day, a black haze materialized from the within the foul and rotting stench of the fortress of the Shades; the Stone of Twisted Souls, his body was found lying under the haze, unconscious. Lazarus regained a small amount of strength, his body still adjusting to its newly found life. His emotions and human qualities had disappeared, along with his heart, he is under constant physical pain, he is very very weak indeed, and his regenerating flesh falls off from time to time. To cover the undesirable appearance of his rotting flesh and to hide his foul stench, he put on what was left of his armor, a white cloth, and a white veil to cover his face. He wears the crown of thorns that seemed to be fused in his skull. He wanders off from Necrovion from time to time using a staff to help him walk, but he is being constantly called by the Shades back to the Stone for unknown reasons. Lazarus has risen, the purpose of his return is a secret that he will keep until the right time comes (I will reveal it for my upcoming quest in October 31st, 2013). He awaits to regain his full strength, and when that time comes, he will unleash his full glory. [i]"A new life, a new chapter of his dark purposes will rise,[/i] [i]An old dream, an exodus of events will materialize.[/i] [i]The Kingdom of Necrovion will prevail for all to see,[/i] [i]The fire of the Stone, the twisted souls will be set free.[/i]" Thank you to the citizens of Necrovion for making my character an official Necrovion citizen, and thank you for reading.

I won't be present here in MagicDuel anymore as I have lots of serious problems going on in my life now, one being of me getting into a really huge problem. I may or may not come back, but one thing will be for sure and I know most of you doesn't care about my issue at the moment because all of you hates me for what I did, and I don't care either, I just want to say the reason about me leaving MD. Tonight I left my character, Lazarus, to rest eternally on the Deathmarrow and he decided to give his soul into the wholeness of Necrovion. These are his last words: [color="#48D1CC"]: Lazarus takes his final walk into the Deathmarrow Lazarus: Although I will be gone, you and I will remain one Lazarus: Bound by dark soul, as hard as a steel Maul : Lazarus disappears[/color] To those few people who believes in me knows what I am talking about, and I really thank you all for all your help and understanding, for those who do not and those who can't let go of the past and still looks back on the previous things that I did, well I don't care about you guys and I am so glad that I pissed all of you off. I won't be missed and won't leave any memories and I'm happy about it. Good evening, farewell, and happy Dueling...

I sincerely hope that all goes well, good luck and hope to see you soon.

I would say no. In my opinion, infinity starts with nothing and ends with nothing but pure infinity. This is a very philosophical yet honest question to pondered about, to me, infinity does not deal with numbers, because if you would consider it as numbers, you won't have an honest and concrete answer. Let's think of it as an object: a Circle (represents the Hotel): we do not know as to where is its starting point nor the ending, but all we know is that it is an unknown and continuous line of endless mark, a Curve (represents a room): it is a part of the circle, that if when you cut a Circle by a number of times into very tiny pieces that makes an infinite number of curves, it will still remain a part of the infinity (do not think of an endless spiral because of the infinite rooms, it is a Circle and will remain as a Circle), and when you take one out, it will still remain an infinity, why? Because infinity is not numbers, it is more than numbers, it is a form of quantity where quantity transcends the boundaries of the known digits, it's really hard to explain though but I hope you get the point. By adding another curve to the circle, is just not possible, it will ruin the order of the infinity therefore bringing chaos to the shape and the Circle itself will not be a Circle anymore since you have added 1 piece of a curve, a lot of changes will be seen on the Circle and thus, unbalancing the infinity. However, by adapting a curve to another curve, that might be possible, just like if you lay a circle of cards, and put another card on top of the other, it might, but that card will not be counted as an addition, but more likely an imitation of that single card. I know this is a very complicated stuff, but I tried my best to explain my opinion. So, my conclusion is, you cannot find a vacant room on that Hotel that has infinite rooms, but there are a lot of different kinds of people in each of those rooms, and you can find an infinite quantity of people that are kind enough to share his/her room with you.

Fenrir Greycloth is a character that was supposed to be a Philosopher, so I was not surprised when I found out that he is against these things. A Philosopher indeed...

MD is alive, the realm is alive, the principles, morals, characters, are alive. However, the thing that makes you think that MD is dead is the absence of activities and by the majority of the population of MD are all long time players if not veterans, and have experienced fun over the months/years like the Festivals and whatsoever, but now what? Do you mean if there's no fun, no MD? If a festival is happening now, then tomorrow it's gonna be over, what do you think you will feel? Back to being bored I bet. That's the thing most of you feel. I find MD boring when I was a newbie back then because it is not very graphical like Perfect World or WoW, but the thing that keeps me active since I started playing is the secrets of this game, the philosophy, the real life adaptation, the players, the art, creature fights, the mystery, the very unique concept, and most of all annoying someone if not everyone, but I'm not making myself a nuisance to MD anymore as I have future plans being developed at the moment, and whether of not MD will get "revived" as you have said, I will stay, and I will stay as long as I am enjoying this unique phenomenon. Shallow minded people often value the absurd, they act and speak without thinking and without researching and not realizing the real life facts and issues as to why a certain thing is happening. So saying that MD is dead is terribly stupid. You just jump to conclusions and post such a stupid message and feel good about yourself thinking that you might have done a brilliant step to your self achievement but in fact you are being nothing more than being absurd and paranoid. Remember that it takes 42 muscles to frown, and only 3 muscles to pull the trigger of a Sniper Rifle. PS: I just realize that this is a separate thread, and I'm talking to everyone.
