[quote name='phantasm' timestamp='1287976557' post='70910'] Day 297 Year 5 (WARNING: REMARKS MADE HERE ARE PART OF THE QUEST NOT TO HAVE ANY INFLUENCE ON OTHER QUESTS OR RPS. PLEASE ONLY USE THIS AS HISTORY TO KEEP IN TIME WITH THE QUEST) After being asked to leave the Tribunal, Phantasm strikes the Chain of Mercy into the ground outside the temple door. He once again draws the circle and the symbols again appear and fly off into the Tribunal lands. He cuffs himself to the Chain of Mercy and begins to reflect on days gone by. Friends and family of the lands spread across this great land. He recollects his early days, struggling for a foothold and talking in long lengths with Zeiphenier. Running about like some mad man triyng to find a place to call his own. Finding friends like Kragel, Peace, Marvolo, Sagewoman, Windy, and many many more. Heroes and legends all in their own right. He smiles as he remembers the first time he set foot on the grounds of the Tribunal and found at last a place to rest his weary feet. To travel no more and spend his days out with those who are left to call him friend. The lull of his own thoughts slowly fade him off to sleep, as Yoshi stands close by, watching the strange cloaked man shackled to the ground. [/quote] I'm somebody now! I've been mentioned in an Archive! Yay me!

As of today, I am resigning my post from the GOTR.

Being lost or the feeling of being lost means different things to many people. Sometimes we lose our selves in doing everything for others. In giving to others or trying to please everyone we love or work with, we forget sometimes to remember who and what we are. If you look in the mirror and don't feel connected to that image, then to me, that means you've forgotten to take care of #1, YOU. It is time to delegate more work to others and take sometime for yourself. Go back to the beginning and review what your original goals and dreams were. It is time to be true to yourself. I've had this feeling about you for sometime, Mur. You have so much going on that you do not know if you are coming or going...God forbid if you bump into yourself. Stand back at the image looking back at you from the mirror. Do you like that person? Do you love that person? Do you remember who that person is? Food for thought, darling.

After reading all the limericks I have made a decision. Three of them made me laugh. Kudos for doing that. But after a lot of lip biting, I have decided that Apop is the winner. Congratulations and thanks to all for participating!

I am sad to see you go. You were there when I first started my pub and you were a lot of fun to role play with. I made you my little brother. However, you my dear, got lost along the way. You tried so very hard to get things moving that you quit being someone I could turn to and create mischief and mayhem. I mean where do you get off? You are such a hypocrite! I agree that MD has changed and not for the better. But you can't blame everything on that. When you became reclusive, that is when things changed. You are a link on our chain, and you broke your link from the chain. Look back to when we had so much fun, role playing together. You will see that what I say is true. I love you Granos, and I will sorely miss you.

Very good replies. Please for the love of Mur! Don't change the original limerick! You are only required to add the last line.

I will miss you, darling. Will we still see you on Face Book?

I think that non-speaking communication in role playing can be fun and challenging too. It is fun to watch everyone try to figure out what Ludwig is trying to "say". If at all else fails, speak back to him in "clackish". He may have created an entirely new language!

I got caught up in a limerick game recently and it got into my blood. So I propose a fun contest. I will start out with a limerick about a character near and dear to me, and then someone has to continue it. Here are some basic rules for creating a limerick: [list=1][*]5 lines.[*]Rhyme structure is AABBA (lines 1,2 and 5 rhyme, and 3 & 4 rhyme with each other. Their "beat" is di di dum di di dum di di dum[*]Lines 1, 2, and 5 generally have seven to ten syllables, while lines 3 and 4 have only five to seven syllables. Their beat is di di dum di di di dum...[*]Ideally, it should be about a humorous or clever story/observation/statement, with the last line carrying the real "zinger" that makes it truly funny.[/list] Keep it CLEAN AND FUN! Cut and paste my limerick into your response and then add your ending. The one with the best ending will get a Gold Imperial Aramor. So here goes. [i][b]I did indeed, mess up the meter of the limerick. Thanks to Lucius, I have fixed my limerick to suit the contest. I pray that those of you who haven't yet fixed their limerick, will do so ASAP. [/b][/i] THE CONTEST IS NOW OVER. THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR ENTRIES. JUDGING WILL COMMENCE AT ONCE AND WINNER ANNOUNCED AT A LATER TIME.

[quote name='Tarquinus' date='27 May 2010 - 08:49 AM' timestamp='1274968153' post='60449'] I could not disagree more. Someone is plotting to assassinate a king: that is interesting. Someone is pretending to have magic powers that are not supported by the system: that is all too often uninteresting, and it undercuts the magic powers that [u]are[/u] part of the system. I have seen someone get indignant that her magic "powers" failed to heal someone else's roleplayed injury. That is why we have a system. It establishes what can be done, and by whom. Without the system, all roleplay occurs with the consent of the other players. It is not impolite, it is damned rude to impose your personal roleplaying vision on everyone around you by dictating the terms of the shared reality. That is precisely what distinguishes a strong roleplayer from a weak one: boundaries. I have heard someone say of roleplaying, "anything is possible!" For a weak roleplayer, perhaps. A strong roleplayer sets limitations for her character and uses them to define the character. Sherlock Holmes is addicted to cocaine. Achilles is vulnerable at the heel. Even Superman, a godlike character if ever there was one, is vulnerable to kryptonite. A character's weaknesses -- limitations -- are intriguing, and for the purpose of a strong story, necessary. [/quote] I see what you are saying. These things can get ridiculous very quickly.

I agree to a certain extent that role-played children is a tiring occurrence, as my alt, Leucretia, found out. If you all recall, this game is an experiment created by Mur and his staff. He told us this up front. We have also been told, that fighting and quests are not the only thing to do in MD. Role-playing is a vital part as well. If a player chooses to role-play mundane things not related to the game, who cares? As long as it is not vulgar or against the rules set for us, no harm done. It amazes me how many players get bent out of shape over this issue. Before I joined MD, there were no bars, or pubs, or Inns. It had no purpose in the game and as such was objected to at first; but now it is a common place role-played entity, which has grown and been adopted by many players. My point is this. Why set boundaries for other players? Why set boundaries for yourselves? There is so much that can be accomplished in this game. We can shape and mold this reality to suit our needs with our imaginations! If Mur objects to any of this, he will let us know and frequently does, that I am sure of. If he does not object, then I do not see what business it is of anyone else to object and make a fuss over something that has nothing to do with them. You can either role-play along or you can walk away and do your own thing. I am sure that there is a quote out there about people with opinions...but of course, it escapes me. When we let our egos, feelings, and other "real life" issues, become part of the game, then we are setting ourselves up for failure and a world of hurt. We have lost a lot of good players because of this same issue. Let us drop our egos, our personal feelings and let MD evolve like is it suppose to and let her people grow and evolve as well. Thank You.

Luckily, my cat loves to sit on my hip, lap, or knees. Now that my left leg is lame, she perches on it more than the other. She knows something is wrong. She has sniffed, my walker, my crutches, and my wheel chair and even deems to sit on the wheel chair as well. LOL[img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif[/img] I do love big dogs though. You can wrestle with them and pin them to the floor. Little dogs irritate me because of their constant yapping. And you can't be too rough with them.
