Windy

[quote name='Chewett' date='14 September 2009 - 12:26 AM' timestamp='1252906010' post='41716'] I like this idea but do not think anyone here who has volunteered for leader is right to lead an alliance yet, Everyone seems a little experianceless at the moment. [/quote] How very pompous, arrogant, and narrow minded of you.

[quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='13 September 2009 - 04:50 PM' timestamp='1252878640' post='41700'] I had an idea earlier today while I was making connections with different parts in md. The one connection I made was the connection between the tribunal and the caretakers names. I thought of the different meanings of tribunal and caretaker. A tribunal is a group of people whose purpose is to judge and A caretaker can be connected to a caretaker government. A caretaker govrrntmwnts purpose is to hold the seats of power until the real holders come back from a sick leave or someone new is chosen. I would like to propose this idea as well as my other. I propose that the caretakers become a caretaker government of the tribunals(the land of the east). They would behave like a normal government but the additional duty of finding the true leader of the lands or until a new leader has been chosen. Please tell me if this idea sounds reasonable or not, or just plain stupid. The connection makes sense to me, but I dunno if it does to others. [/quote] Neat idea, Fenrir. Brings to mind, Judge Dredd. XD

[quote name='Sharpwind' date='11 September 2009 - 10:15 AM' timestamp='1252682121' post='41527'] Well I think I like phanatsms idea more I like thinking of the caretakers as undertakers and followers of a death cult (perhaps following a goddess like Kali), shady and overall a death loving sort perhaps even assasins in the process of taking care of things I would also suggest the crypt (opposite of the statue) as their gathering place and perhaps the sewers (when they are made) for their dark endevours So yeah I vote for phantasm too (not that it makes any difference) [/quote] OMDM! I totally forgot about the Sewers! Sewer Rat Quests!!!! I can see it now! Leggs can have her Sewer Rat Army now!

[quote name='Guybrush Threepwood' date='10 September 2009 - 03:13 PM' timestamp='1252613607' post='41448']Not just the name, but mostly. Also by the suggested role. Yeah, it's a suggestion, but if a person has an idea they should go with the one that seems closest to the suggestions. Which, again, may just be me. But there's a few applications for this, just one for seal of six. Also, mine was partly combative as well. And yes, I understand it's a neutral alliance, but I'd like to think of that as a suggestion, and rather, try unbiased.[/quote] You just contradicted yourself there, Doc. I think that one alliance dealing with "dark things" is enough! Why does everything have to do with death? What about life? It is fun to create battles and chaos and stuff, but holy crappers! Let's do something fun and exciting..not all that depressing stuff! I like Fenrir's ideals about culture and the arts..but then again...I AM a woman. [color="#0000FF"]Use EDIT!!! dst[/color]

[quote name='Liberty4life' date='09 September 2009 - 03:02 PM' timestamp='1252526534' post='41356'] as i said its same as you claiming wind sanct for pub anyone objected? ofc didnt [/quote] Actually, I did get a lot of flack for that...at first. But then the pub became so popular that it became an entity unto itself. I see your point.

I do not believe anyone should lay claim to anything in the Tribunal yet. Publicly announcing a claim like Allarion did, I feel was rude and cocky to say the least. To take the words of someone recently, that is like putting the Cart before the horse.

[quote name='Udgard' date='08 September 2009 - 10:00 PM' timestamp='1252465214' post='41288'] It's not necessarily related, IMHO. Leadership claims are for the [i]alliance[/i]. People are are claiming part of the [i]land[/i]. [/quote] Gotcha. But that would be like people going into Necrovion or Loreroot and claiming land too. Would those allaince leaders put up with that?

[quote name='Jester' date='08 September 2009 - 06:22 PM' timestamp='1252452149' post='41271'] That ability is from WP shop. Also, I have 2 screens in the East, jestersdoor and Jesters Streets. Mine are different than the other peoples in that mine are actually official... [/quote] I've noticed. Shameless self promotion! [quote name='Liberty4life' date='08 September 2009 - 01:42 PM' timestamp='1252435360' post='41236'] just a short respons to leucretia, in addition to Z, if ya have 10 seats then that means leader takes one so 9 remains [/quote] I was not counting the Leader as a seat. I don't think Mur meant that to be a seat. But I took the last one off, just in case.

It amazes me to see people laying claim to parts of the Lands of the East! Let's see... 1. I Am Bored laid claim to the pub. Others have also, so I've heard. 2. dst lays claim to the bedroom. 3. Some guy (All-something)who claims to have Princ Raygar's voice, claimed the last building in the quad for the Savelite Church! Now what is the point of having applications for leadership if people are laying claims? I wonder what Mur has to say about that? It would please me to see people keep mum until this all works itself out. [quote name='Jester' date='08 September 2009 - 04:53 PM' timestamp='1252446834' post='41257'] Change location subtitle Allows you to change a subtitle on a given location. The new title will remain forever untill someone else changes it and for at least 4 days. With this you can mark locations to support your role, such as pubs, markets, themed gathering places, mark historic locations to remember an important event for all future players, organise group activities, support role play situations, etc. [u][b]You are not allow to write playernames in this subtitle.[/b][/u] Abusing this by writing ofences, advertising or similar will be penalised. [/quote] Who has that ability? Is that for admins to use and abuse or is that something from the wishshop?

[quote name='(Zl-eye-f)-nea' date='08 September 2009 - 11:59 AM' timestamp='1252429140' post='41227'] Thats a much better offering Leu. However, you have 10 seats ...and it looks as if this alliance is more like...a collaboration of the heads of a town council and all it's various facets - do you see what I mean? Almost like...an alliance comprised of the heads of a series of small guilds. Some of the ideas there are quite nice though individually imo. Z [/quote] I know what you mean. I was trying to avoid that, but as I brainstormed, it just became bigger than me. This is just a rough draft after all and as such can be reworked at any time.

[left][/left][b][b]The Caretakers of The Tribunal Lands of The East[/b][/b] [u][b]What This Alliance Means To Me[/b][/u]: This alliance means a great deal to me. It is the chance for new ideas and fresh faces to come together and make her great! The Tribunal lands need leaders who have are void of egos and have no stomach for politics. Having said that, I am no way ignorant of the fact that politics are part of this whole process. It is a chance for something new, different, and exciting! [b]Purpose and Goals of the Caretakers[/b] The Tribal Lands are yet an unknown entity. The Caretaker's purpose is to preserve the lands from those who wish to exploit it. The structures within the lands are ancient, delicate, and elegant in their architecture and will be preserved as Historical Land Marks. The Caretakers will keep the lands documented as more areas are uncovered. [b]Role of The Caretakers[/b] A caretaker's primary concern is the well being of the Tribunal lands, structures, and future inhabitants. They will be highly visible through out the lands to keep an eye on the activity of inhabitants and guests alike. [b][left]The First Six Seats[/left][/b] (1) [b]Tribunal Leader [/b]- Leadership of any alliance is a heavy burden and must be assumed with great reverence, dignity, and fairness. This role is one that deals with all aspects of Tribunal preservation. This role must not be taken likely as they must deal with all walks of life in a fair and diplomatic fashion; a cool and level head is a must. (2) [b]Captain of The Keepers[/b]- The Captain's role is to maintain the chats so there are no spoilers, offensive language, or inappropriate behavior that are better off left to private conversations in pms. (3) [b]Chief of Grievances[/b]- The Chief's role is to ensure settlement of disputes among residents and nonresidents so everyone has an enjoyable experience within the Tribunal Lands. (4) [b]Head Ranger[/b]- The Head Ranger's role is ensure the preservation and the integrity of undeveloped land and to document unknown and known animals that reside there. This role is also to document any mineral deposits that are discovered. (5) [b]High Trader [/b]- The High Trader's role is to ensure documentation, registration, and functionality of all traders or merchants who wish to set up shop. He/She is also responsible to take care of any grievances that might accur between merchants and traders and customers. He/she will also be in charge of setting up markets in the square. (6) [b]Chief of Stuctures[/b] - The Chief's role is ensure the maintance and protection of all statuary from vandalism and abuse. He is also in charge of the set up and collection of marble so that new statuary can be created or repaired. (7) [b]Master Blacksmith [/b]- This seat is responsible for the research, design, and documentation of all armor and weapons created in or brought forth into the lands. This person will also create a stable for horses to be brought forth into rping. He will make sure that they are borded and well kept. Branding will be the utmost repsonsibility. We need to keep these horses well documented. (8) [b]Chancelor of Holistic Virtue[/b]- This Chancelor's role is the organization of healers to care for injuries and maladies that occur inside the borders of the land. He must ensure that all healers are documented and active throughout the Eastern Lands. (9) [b]Divine Muse [/b]- No good leader can exist without great self arrogance unless he/she has the greatest mind to advise him/her. The Divine Muse will gather the best minds in all aspects of governing, planning, and so forth to guide the Leadership of The Tribunal Lands. (10) [b]Major General of The Shadow Walkers[/b](Temporary) - The Major General's role is to dispatch his Shadow Walkers to police within The Tribunal borders. They will be hardened and skilled warriors from all walks of life.

[quote name='Chewett' date='07 September 2009 - 01:57 PM' timestamp='1252349845' post='41113'] So, thought up anything apart from those two lines? im sure mur wants a little more Background infomation, A plan and more stuff than what you have produced. Who will you accommodate What will you do What will be your short term goals What will be your long term goals Where will you be placed in the Tribunals [/quote] That takes time. I will come up with something soon and let you know. XD I do hope others will put their ideas up on the board. Maybe I can get ideas from them. Who knows?

[quote name='Chewett' date='07 September 2009 - 01:33 PM' timestamp='1252348389' post='41107'] You just keep mentioning it would be somewhere for oddball people... Wheras i dont think you would fill it with people who would help and such... im not convinced your primary objective would be for the alliance... [/quote] It amazes me how you pick something out of what someone says and just "chew" it to bits. XD Luckily, Mur is the one who chooses the leaders and not you. Anyway, that is where I am going with this.

[quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' date='07 September 2009 - 12:46 PM' timestamp='1252345611' post='41101'] What do you plan on doing with this alliance? [/quote] I am so glad that you asked that question as I failed to put my plans in my earlier post. I don't have everything fleshed out as of yet. My intention is to create a place for werewolf, vampire, and oddball kind. As Mur has suggested, we would fill those roles that most characters haven't thought of. [quote name='SageWoman' date='07 September 2009 - 12:55 PM' timestamp='1252346120' post='41103'] _____________________________________________________ I have been looking for awhile now for something to keep me separate from my alt, Windy. I would like to apply for the available alliance leadership role of the Caretakers, because I believe in the new lands. The Tribal Lands is a new adventure and I would enjoy bringing traffic to that area. Werewolves, wolves, odd creatures, and vampires seem to be the outcasts of MD and I would like to find a home for our characters. Being a leader of the dark side would be a wonderful opportunity to start a different community. Thank you. Usually werewolves and vampires are the CAUSE of crime scenes, not the cleaning crews. What experience do you have in this regard. Could you perhaps expand on what you want to do with the CareTakers as Leader? Mission Statement, requirement of members and so on. [/quote] How very stereotypical of you SageWoman. I expect better from you. [quote name='Chewett' date='07 September 2009 - 01:10 PM' timestamp='1252347031' post='41105'] They were previously called the Darkside, Theya re nothing to do with them anymore. The alliance you want is something that isnt being offered. The Caretakers clean up things and such... not host vampires and werewolves [/quote] I am intersted in fulfilling those roles. Not an alliance for werewolves and vampires. You misunderstood me. But since we are on that subject, why can't we fill those roles?

[quote name='Burns' date='07 September 2009 - 12:40 PM' timestamp='1252345234' post='41099'] yeah, gather all the wolves... the faster the better *chuckles* oh, i could as well post something on topic... do you think you can handle to lead an ally with an alt? it's somewhat of a full time job to have a good alliance... and i have the feeling that the purpose of the caretakers is a slightly different one, though i guess that's still open for debate... [/quote] I don't want any part of your war plans Burns. Give it a rest. LOL There are 7 days in a week...Of course I can handle the load of two alts. I am interested in learning more about those roles when Mur makes them available. XD

As Windy I see the pros and cons of the back entrance. Personally, I think access to the back entrance should be for Lorerootians and COE only and for one good reason. It is a shorter route to GGG and saves a whole lot of AP. Especially now when we are all trying to get 100 Bursts! XD

Odd. I never even noticed the artistic styles! But then again, I am not familiar with all the artists that create MD. Glor is the only one and I rarely see him in game. 8D

Personally, I think the back entrance should have guardians blocking it like the front entrance. If the back exit is easily entered, why bother? Let people work for it.

[quote name='I am Bored' date='30 August 2009 - 05:41 PM' timestamp='1251672086' post='40486'] Well if we modeled a game after md (which btw is possible).....although a reasonable number of players might be 32, and the maximum being something like 96..... think that is big enough? although then we still are missing the point of md, and that is the role play.... you could make the fights, creatures, equiptment, lands, locations, AP, EP, titles, and description, and well.... it might be possible to fit the role play in there.... that could be how you win..... being the last one standing as the dust settles after the RP....... eliminate players from the game through it.... [/quote] What would really be neat is creating Magicduel like the game, Risk! XD

On behalf of my alt, Windy. I accept your apology. It takes a big man to come out and apologize in public like that. Let us start with a clean slate and and let by gones be by gones. Do come to the pub more often. I know Windy would like that.

I have not drawn in a long time. Many have seen my depiction of Windy. I would like to get the old juices flowing again. Where does one send the artwork? To your pm directly or put them on the forum? [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons//cool.gif[/img]

How about using PWR? Get new customers interested in interesting players? For example: (note I am not using me)Advertise the Sparring Grounds or The New Lands yet to be discovered? My personal favorite after one of my favorite movies,"WHAT ABOUT BOB?" A tree grows in MD, find out what all the fuss is?

How many adults have done this? After you make love to your husband or wife and they fall asleep, you go back to the computer to finish where you left off?

I think SageWoman has a point. Reputations are important to one's psychy. Anyone who thinks they don't have an ego, must think again. We all have egos that need to be stroked...it is human nature. "Power corrupts. Absolute power, corrupts absolutely." I do not know if this is a cultural difference in what one perceives as an ego. One person thrives on negativity, the other does not. What other people think of us does indeed matter, no matter what we say to the contrary. Some egos bruise easily, others are not bruised as easily as others. Just some food for thought.
