It is a lovely plan, my friend, but people are
more interested on HOW are you going to do all that,
instead of WHAT are you planning to do.
That is, to avoid the feeling that all that are just campaign promises

I believe this to be more important than just a "Adam goes to jail then dies" thread. This is about rights, law and monarchy.

Many things have been said on the matter regarding the imprisonment and death of Adam Riddle. I want to say only a couple of things ( I woke up too late - for solid reasons, I believe), since the situation is almost history... but other problems might appear in the future.

I saw various pro and contra opinions spreaded all over this three pages thread. Some said a mental illness shouldn`t be treated with the pills of a dungeon and gave as alternative guidance and help. I want to see one character that wishes to play the part of a nurse for ill-minded characters. There`s none, I am sure of that.

Others say that a crazy guy is no threat. Au contraire, my friends, they are the first in the frontline, the first to be feared, the first who can drive masses insane. One rotten apple is enough to make a foul cart.

But this is enough, others are experts in piloctomy (splitting hairs, that is), not I. Me says only this: noone drew a code of conduct for the Kings and Queens of MD and noone knows their exact prerogatives. It is my opinion the monarchs are [b]free to ask and to enforce[/b] whatever punishment they wish over specific characters. That is the appanage of a monarch. To do whatever he or she pleases inside his/her own land. They were chosen, they were bestowed with the responsabilities of a monarch, they should have comparative rights. Awiyya`s excerpt is purely theorethical, and there are few monarchs in the known history to have ruled through that specific idea, of being humbler than their subjects.

Now, since Adam`s action (be it imaginatory or real, RP or not, doesn`t really matter when it comes to the will of a monarch) took place over the Gates of Necrovion, I say Queen Peace [b]was in her own right[/b] and jurisdiction to ask for whatever punishment she felt like. One would say that happened in the No Man`s Land. The name itself points out that none and all have jurisdiction there.

Adam wasn`t a citizen of no land. Now, that`s exactly why citizenship exists, in my opinion. So that one character can appeal to the monarch of that land and ask for help or clemency. Only then should a debate take place, negotiations between factions, threats, actions, whatever. I believe at some point Mur should force everyone inside MD (one simple option at login) to choose their land, be it even No Man`s Land. Everyone should belong to a place.

It is wrong to make such problem like the one at hand in this thread (a precedent, nonetheless, that`s why it should be dealt with utmost care and not let fall out of memory) an issue of moral, humanitarian, social, personal or partisan debate, when it is all about law, here. [b]And monarchs make their own laws[/b], until someone else says what is and what is not in the power of a monarch. You hate the laws, bring down the monarch. But bear this in mind: rebellion against the laws is not the same thing as rebellion against the monarch. And when you have no law, anything else is better.

I liked Azrael and Ledah`s ideas, especially those ones about the archive and the arcane researchers and I add a few ideas of my own, even though no one would take me seriously. It`s just my opinion - I am not of Necrovion, nor wishing to be leader, I just shared some ideas.

First of all, the Tainted Warriors should be recruited from the ranks of the Sentinels. You know, pride and glory of the corps, Necrovion. How? Well, once TW has a leader, this guy makes a list of let`s say 3-5 Sentinels and asks the approval of the queen (I understood she`s the one to decide) to promote them within the ranks of the Tainted Warriors. This should be the nucleum of TW (if those 3-5 guys are specialized - a warrior, a clerk, a researcher, a spy - it would be great). This team should work in two directions.

1) to organise TW, prepare a statement, a purpose of meaning, a code of conduct, an organigram
2) to help the Sentinels cope with the loss of manpower, actual and future.

I see the TW not numerous at first. I would like them to be more than a group of brawlers and palookas, that`s too easy.
I believe a warrior isn`t just someone with a sword. It can be also a diplomat, a writer, an artisan, a researcher. They are all fighters in their own field of expertise. TW should be an alliance of enlightened soldiers. If they`re the best of the Sentinels, they can definitely fight. Now, let them specialize themselves in other domains. You`ll have one (or more) archivist, one arcane researcher, one spy, one.. whatever. A thinktank, if you know what I mean.

And if or when their numbers will increase, then and only then should the TW have branches. Shock troops, archivists, whatever you want.

I only hope that the new King of Loreroot would remember he was [i]elected[/i].

Maybe there should.
Anyways, it don`t matter,
in the end there shall still be unsatisfied people,
no matter how is the voting system.

Well, I believe everyone should have the same chances in winning anything, even if they did win the same thing before.
If it`s all about votes, then it should be a chance for anyone.
If there`s gonna be a jury, then those who won before should be left out, like the Nobel Prize.

My post works both ways : I nominated myself, that it is true, yet I gave an idea on what to award.

(As stupid as it would seem) I proposed an award for those whose minds aren`t where they should be.

Please, don`t mind me.

I nominate myself for Best MD Drunkard.

best drunkard? eh? since when alcoholics are to be praised? doesnt it gives.. a bad image of society?

Best drunkard, as in tar 'n feather him and show him to the world, with a big ''WRONG'' sign tied on his back.

Now, seriously, I proposed the drunkard section without knowing anyone would take it seriously.
Since it was taken, I'll stick with it. Much of the community action happens in pubs, and such character would shouw a society as it is, not a cosmeticized face of a world that cannot or would not accept consequences for what those living in it do.

It is wrong to praise alcoholism, yet it would be wronger to close eyes and pretend that doesn`t happen.

I like to collect the creatures and love their upgrade levels becuase they look good,
im interested to know how they change, coz they are really cool artwork, and enjoy seeing how they work in battle, but im only trying to level a certain creature right now which keeps me battling

maybe that will change when i reach MP5 (eek, im dreading it when i do! gonna be principle rinsed....well not that it will effect me becasue i really dont know what all those tokens actually do, ive got. Think i only bought them because they look cool (except the green angien fart one )
i was interested in how they could change the battles, but its wayyy too complicated for me all the logs and stuff

So yeh i only really wanna see the next upgrades of the creatures at the moment.

Artwork for me brings a new part of interest in the game, with a kind of true lore. something akin to the location pictures for the land we live in gives us. something fact and concrete that we can access for clues to how the lands work and stuff , part of the md world which can be seen and experienced, and to get the new artwork you obviously need to fight and upgrade and be able to access all the areas within md, or do something special to get a drachorn, or tormented soul and like err Pokemon collect (yay! love it!!)

I would like to be good at fighting for back up in RP (one day!), so that i can may escape the clutches of that horrible man Granos who is trying to taint me. I know it was good for ailith but... Just dont do it to me!!: when you pin me down and weaken me! (there IS something which i can use to get me away thankfully ........ even though it would be boring if i did it too often..!) i need to get strong in battle so that i could stop you going for me once and for all!

Annnnyyway regarding other things i like to do, is rp, coz its rather fun way to get to know people
but err yeh i try my best! Sometimes i meet people who are asking questions and making me think about stuff, and sometimes i come accross new and really interesting quests, fun but mostly a chance to get that elusive WP, im still soooo suprised there arnt that many in existence, hoping it stays a little like that! really fun to try and get one, unlock sooo many different things and places (artwork and knowledge!)

ok...i could waffle on for ages about how everything i enjoy here interconnects, cant do one without the other kinda thing! Awesome!(the magics still very much alive for me atm )

DST you probably dont have any reason TO RP, if you are how i imagine, straight to the point with regards to "knowledge of the realm and how it can help us think about our own lives" some of us dont know what to ask! and feel we need reasons for things and not just accept it at face value(probably like yourself) and thats where for us RP comes in handy see if we can coax a starting point off from a few of the people in MD!

i like to RP... um yeh, and i like to talk to peace about necrovion, but she is gone now, and she was my source of "magic" and something else in the game!
The alliances have never bothered to show any interest in me i mean.. i sometimes ask about things, showing an interest, but im one of the hard ones whos gotta know Everthing before getting involved! too much hard work i say!

some people "keep the dream alive" in a different way, i just need to spend a lot of time with people that do
people who are willing and helpful to let me look further and deeper, and not just expect me to know everything!

For me peace is paramount here.

catching the tailend of khalazadhaddahhdhahzhahad (i cant spell it :S) i was interested by his quest to do with his ideas about how one, in his opinons, should fight in the desert and think about his reasons why. Also to study Rhajadharma, a very interesting and rewarding topic. This being on of the only face value topic i feel i has brought me into thinking about what i should be like in my own life, and "bridged" something between MD and my real life (i wonder if i can class writing poems in that also...md helps me to be creative!)

Peace provided a quest regarding principles. This has single handidly been the only thing i have ever seen in MD regarding principles, in my eyes, and immediately got me involved, after pages and pages of notes i scribbled in my lunch break at work, i managed 4 out of the 12 questions of that section. An essay for each one, sooo many different principles were involved in some of them, all interlinked and affecting each other...not a simple task!
Peace has provided so much time with me in the past, time to talk about what world we live in and how it works, more in an ancient lore type of way. So why do you think that the shades.... love it...though.. there is only One story/parable i fet i have understood of hers/khalazahahahfhdhas and that was by help of kittiness through a quest she was running! All the rest well....like i said i am hard work

phantasm once sat with me at the path of lonlilness and chucked a stone whizzing away, then it kinda um flew straight back into it, and asked me questions about it, he made it really interesting! though i cant remember much now..was a long time ago

Ailith, granos,raven, kittiness, pamplemousse, innocence, and a lot of others have all helped me think differently about different things for differnt reasons, a big part of my experience here

And Zliepheir i feel i have learnt so much from him and bob, yet also feel i know so littler. i bleame it on the Brick wall stuborness

zliephneir, peace and phantasm are the Only people i have found i think who have Actually had a conversation about things deeper in the game!
(i know others do it with quests and very very clever/and fun stuff with quests, and others do it in a creativity exploration like with poems and things which "make you think"

There needs to be more people like them, and especially the people who Talk about it when you are there. helping and guiding people gently allowing them to grow independant thoughts and to discuss. These are the people we need to help "bring the magic" back into MD.
Maybe i havent spoken to the right people...but i mean i Have been playing for a while now, youd think if it was important, someone may have approached me, seeing i was curious!

We all need to be more interested in the err "lore" of the land, the artwork (/pictures/visual gold for conversation starter by the way!) and starts to get others interested! including me! because i will need all the help i can get now peace has gone

(yay im getting negatives! bug off!)

In the light of the recent turmoil regarding the Caretakers Alliance, having read here and there about what happened (to my dismay, the whole story ended before I had the chance to jump in with a personal opinion), and about what people believe it happened, seeing the suggestions others made and the outcome of the event, I felt compelled to propose a debate.

I thought of this before, but only now did I find the perfect opportunity to bring such matter in the public eye.

As the title goes, the subject of the debate regards strategy, subterfuge and propaganda, all pictured in a (not so) philosophical manner. My final and at the moment so faraway goal is to form up a handbook with different opinions that circulate in the MD universe. And why not - if I`ll be capable of pulling this through - establishing a set of guidelines (not rules) to be used whenever conflicts burst out in the otherwise peaceful lands of Magic Duel.

Why?.. I`ve seen a lot of characters with military background and I know some of them are keen on sharing their military expertise. Even though in some isolated cases the ''military page'' speaks only one thing: ''go out there and kill the enemy''. Well, that`s one way to have things done, but not the only way.

I want you to take the stand and share your vision and theories on warfare - tactics, the employment, deployment and use of cavalry, infantry, logistics and auxiliaries (scouts, spies, diplomats)
I want you to take the stand and share your experiences (not tales) with war: lost battles, won battles, the cause and effect.
I want this debate to take place at the Clash of Ages, sometime at the end of this week.

For now, a rough and simple rundown of the debate would look like this:

- Opening - Introduction to warfare
- Set one - Head on - conventional warfare; how are we doing it - theory
- Set two - In the shadows - the use of ''agents'' or <How can one man win the war>; deceit and treason.
- Set three - A mouthful of words - they can`t fight as good as we can speak.
- Set four - All still standing go to a pub and drink their minds out while sharing experiences, like the true warriors they are.

This might sound awfully complicated, but if you people are interested in it, then we can continue the debate at some later time. If not, then there`s no need to worry.

So, what do you think about this?
