[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.

I hope you enjoy it here [/font][/color] [/quote] Welcome to MD. The only stupid question is the one not asked. Burns is correct in saying that you must read everything of importance on this forum, then if you have any questions, to ask. But you can bug me anytime.

[quote name='dst' date='23 May 2010 - 03:15 PM' timestamp='1274645745' post='60283'] Cats FTW!!! Dogs...are too obedient. I want something with personality. [/quote] I couldn't agree with you more! 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.

I am so happy the baby is finally here![img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif[/img]

Greetings! I don't think we've had the pleasure of meeting. I am Windy, Owner of The Wind & Rain Pub and Mistress of THE SISTERHOOD. I look forward to meeting you and I pray that the new things in MD does not intimidate you. I pray that we meet soon.

[quote name='Burns' date='23 May 2010 - 10:25 AM' timestamp='1274628335' post='60262'] litter... box...? You mean, you take an animal and imprison it in a house? Yuck! Shame on you! Cats and dogs need trees and grass and sand and everything, if you force them to live on hard ground and sofas, they are not cats anymore... then they're moving teddy bears at best, just sleeping, eating, and occassionally purring when you scratch their ears -.- [/quote] She is my baby! Animals have a habit of being run over or disappearing in my town. Kenji is mixed up anyway as she likes to play fetch like dog!

[quote name='Burns' date='23 May 2010 - 08:45 AM' timestamp='1274622359' post='60254'] It depends on the needs. I like cats in my attic and cellar because they catch mice, but i prefer dogs in the yard because they keep strangers and salesmen away. I also prefer dogs when there are too many cats around the attic and cellar... Apart from that, dogs are more fun to play with, but cats don't smell and they are smarter, i'd prefer a cat as pet =) [/quote] Cats don't smell that is true, but the litter box? OMG! Whew!!! My cat sometimes does her thing outside the box and I can't understand why. It gets clean everyday!

Though I do love both animals, cats are my favorite. They are soft and cuddly and so darn cute! I have a picture of my cat Kenji on my photo album. Please bring your pets to your album so we can share our loves![img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif[/img] [color=purple]Made into a poll - Grido[/color]

Yayy! I missed the newspaper! Now I will have to get creative![img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif[/img]

Wow. Only 5? There is so many that I could name! Gargant - Whom I miss terribly and stood by me when others were against me when I started my pub at Wind's Sanctuary. Ailith - My dearest friend and whom I also miss terribly as she has moved on to other things in MD. She put up with my rp for gathering Left-handed weed and did a marvelous job.[img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif[/img] Kalazhad - He was always there to give me encouragement and had splendid stories to tell. Granos - He also was a great support of my work and is in a true sense, my brother in all things. Zleiphneir - For being so stedfast a protector for a lone tree even when it is just plain silly. I adore him immensely and I am so glad that he still pops in once in awhile. I could go on...But you said only 5.[img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img]

[quote name='Yrthilian' date='19 May 2010 - 10:28 AM' timestamp='1274282918' post='60045'] Hey all artists I am looking to get a logo created for a little program i have been building but well my artisan skill are well they arent [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif[/img] So i am looking for some one who could create a logo for me for this little application. Please contact me ether here o the forums or on my YIM. yrthilian (AT) yahoo (DOT) com Thanks Yrth Thanks MODS for moving it. I only realised after posting it that is was in the wrong place [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img] [/quote] I have not used my skills in a very long time. I need a challenge. What do you need?

[quote name='redneck' date='22 May 2010 - 02:03 PM' timestamp='1274555028' post='60212'] thought she was already with someone.... but what do i know [/quote] I know what you mean, redneck. However, she has lost two husbands thus far. It is time to move on. Congratulations my darlings! I will be there unless something prevents me from doing so.[img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif[/img]

Actively looking for new members for THE SISTERHOOD. A fun group of people who like to role play and create mayhem and mischief! Women are Sisters and Men are our Champions! Inquire with any Sister and or Me, Yours Truly, Mistress of THE SISTERHOOD!

My dear sister....don't make such a hasty decision made on emotions...you need to change your way of thinking and change the rules that you have made for yourself. You will not leave MD...you will be back and often. There are too many pple that you will miss....LIKE ME! LOL[img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.gif[/img]

Ooooh! I love that idea!!!!!!

[quote name='Shadow(mcvities)' date='06 May 2010 - 04:47 AM' timestamp='1273139259' post='59480'] Oo Lippy? Try to impress? oO I was only saying what I was told and showing my opinion. You can't really tell how someone says something just by reading it. Thats what RP is for I was saying in a nice normal way ^^, if it sounded rude or nasty then woops..my bad. As for trying to impress...you should know by now I don't care what people think of me :lol: [/quote] If you are serious about joining GoTR, I will mentor you. Seek me out.

Darling Mur.... I've always known in the back of my mind, that everything I do shapes MD as a whole. We all do. Funny how others don't get that. Since I've entered this world, I reshaped it to fit Windy's view point. It has worked well for me. One day, I shall take over this world! And I will be very sweet and sneaky about it to!

[quote name='Kriskah Arcanu' date='22 March 2010 - 01:29 PM' timestamp='1269282567' post='56770'] My advise to you is that if you cannot think of a specific roll for your character, start considering the needs of the realm. Allmost any type of profesion could be a good idea at this moment, even better if it is something nobody does. Consider something which can be original, not so hard to perform and which also can help you interact with the community. Saludos, K [/quote] I agree with Kriskah. Find a need of the realm and go with it. How about a horse stable? I gifted Shadowseeker a Steed. I'm sure he could use new stuff for it. Sell war horses and such and wagons. Kriskah could probably use new wheels on her wagon! LOL

While these are great ideas, remember that Mur's programmers have their plates full and will not wish to take on more work.

It seems that I NEED to delegate some responsibility and get this club back on track. If any of you, [sisters and champions] see someone with an interesting/impressive story on their papers and you feel that they would be cool additions to this club, by all means send them my way or pm me their names. Just remember, there are a lot of alts out there. Also, I need some ideas from you. It seems this game is sorely lacking in good role playing ideas. Lets see what you can cook up![img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/blush.gif[/img]

Father Chains had a nice one too...I think...[img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/blush.gif[/img]
