Commenting purely on the morality of giving favours: I myself have asked for a few favours, in exchange for something. Usually this is granted, which of course makes me happy, makes me think "Great! I can further my role in MD a bit more, have a bit more influence and actually help others more than I could before!". For example: Trading Mur's leash for DS to be revived: I had many hopes for this and had hoped that the guild itself could be filled with all sorts of various roles to do with travelling, as that is essentially what the DS is meant for, especially with how things have progressed now! You could have cartographers, viscosity experimenters, item charters, all sorts! The tome of solidified mist: Was to not only further my role as a character but to also help persuade others to role play more, especially during death. Making revivals more of a "community thing" again. Dark Demon can testify for the fact of RP purposes. All these were not just for my own personal delight. They both encompass helping others and, at the same time, furthering my role. So, my views are; so long as it fits within boundaries such as role, personal abilities, confinements of the game, etc and is not purely for greed or selfish reasons, favours are a good thing in moderation. It keeps a spark alive. No doubt most of us will have had a favour in the form of something. If not? Well, there's still time! ~Sasha

As the title suggests I am selling a GG Drachorn: Age: 596 Stored Heat: 1253674 ID: 779073 I am selling for Timless dust and heat stones only (gold may be used to increase "bid worth" but offers with higher amounts of heat stones and dust are more likely to win.) Bids can go on until I see an offer I like ~Sasha

Happy birthday Fenrir! :P (I still find it weird thinking of you as Seig to be honest...) Have a wonderful time! Hopefully you won't eat or drink too much! If you do...well...take some pictures of the aftermath! :)) Best wishes ~Sasha x

Considering the lack of anyone active around me at the time, apart from one new MP3 (and the fact live help was sending to me anyway) I couldn't have asked someone then and there in game. People were active on the forum and this is the questions section,I don't really see why me asking here is any different to in game. I did't care who answered. I couldn't see the button therefore I asked. That is the simplicity of it. I see no reason to continue this conversation, but if you wish to talk more about this then please message me.

I am not asking what it is, I am asking how I got onto the page. I do not see any button on the right toolbar and nor did I click anything near it. As for your little snipe towards me, even if I didn't know what it was (which I do, especially as I can read) an LHO does not know everything. It is the fact than one should ask if they do not. Or am I wrong? Does every LHO know all there is to know in the game? If so I'm more than happy to test their knowledge myself. :) My question remains, how did I get there, as I cannot see the button (unless I am being blind.) Edit: Found out myself how to get there! Apparently it is the only one I haven't yet clicked! :)) Topic may be closed now! (This is what happens with a lack of sleep. :rolleyes: )

After another very long stint sat online, watching nothing and trying to figure out the meaning of life, I found myself looking at this and thinking "Now how on Earth did I get here?". http://storenow.net/my/?f=627d9183076a7cf079b3b5eb2b35d60e How on Earth did I get here? ~Sasha

And do we have statistics to show that this is true? I myself have spent a lot of shuffling, not even wanting to buy...just to look. There will always be those that give up on shuffling and there will be those that continue as normal. In the long term removing all avatars WILL be a knock on funds as fewer avatars means fewer needs to shuffle. Bearing in mind that each avatar sent to shop gains the player $3...we need more shuffling OR place the avatar unlock even deeper. ~Sasha

What you need to remember is that the low quality avatars, yes, would have been awarded credits, but that is to one person. Imagine the amount of people that shuffle when they see that poor avatar. Removing avatars is actually more catastrophic to MD funds than leaving them. For when they are removed profit is lost due to shuffling and the fact that the creator was actually rewarded credits for the drawing. Leaving the drawings, however, will increase shuffling and will quickly pay back what was gained by the artist. ~Sasha

Firstly an avatar is not an obligation. You're actually rather lucky with what you have nowadays as, as DST correctly pointed out, avatars were rare and would only be bought by those quick enough to scavenge them. Secondly, having a shop filled with bad avatars helps you more than it hinders. It prevents collectors, such as myself, from grabbing all the best drawn straight away. It helps to fund MD It balances out the "rarity" as it takes time to find one you may like. People seem to forget that the MDShop is practically what keeps MD running. You all love MD so much, yet you'll complain when you have to spend a few extra credits on finding an avatar? Even though years ago you would have been lucky to have gotten one? I wouldn't complain... Finally, I do agree that there are many poor quality avatars in the Shop. I disagree however that they should all be removed. I think 70 removed is actually a very good start and would even say that perhaps only another 30 more should be removed at this time. Make it a yearly cleanup. Having to shuffle is a hindrance, yes, but also helps players in the long term. ~Sasha

I was. I also nominate Grido.(No one said I couldn't partake! :P) Nominee: *Grido* Nominator: Sasha Lilias Reason: Not only has *Grido* continuously been a hard working *LHO* he has also be extremely giving, kind and selfless. I too have experienced his giving, only the other day I received help from him that NO (apart from myself...maybe :P ) other play would have done. Based upon trust and friendship he gave/lent be two creatures so that I may start my training from scratch. He asked no repayment. This should not be considered anything to do with the fact he is an *LHO*, that is a separately awarded subject, this is purely due to his selflessness. Therefore I nominate him for: Selflessness beyond compare.

For those posting creature trades please could you also try adding the ID of the creature. Reasons for this will become apparent soon. Thank you, ~Sasha

You'll see if you get it :))

Will be selling this item for game credits. 1/10, I do believe. Lowest auction price is $10 and automatic buy is $25 or alternatively 5 gold. Sold ~Sasha

Looks like she had a good time! Also as you were the only to enter...you win by default! :)) If you could make sure the image is ready to wear (MD Symbol added and uploaded to your vault) and let me know when it's done I will organise a reward. :) ~Sasha

Only nominations please. If you wish to discuss it then feel free to do so in another topic. No one is forced to take part, as Ary has shown. Thanks, ~Sasha

Ah! Thank you! That is what a lack of sleep does to you! :P

"We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness." —Charlie Chaplin In response to this topic: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/16042-one-random-act-of-kindness/ I have decided to listen to the views and change it up slightly. Every three months I shall hold a "Reward" ceremony for those that have shone in an area of kindness. This area could be by being an outstanding LHO, even simply by giving items, creatures or time and effort away for free. This will be the community's voice to vote for the one they believe to be a true beacon of kindness and selflessness. The nominations and voting shall be held in a similar fashion to those of the MD Awards, except with one change. There will be no set categories and there will only be one winner. Nomination: Nominations will be held for three weeks at the beginning of the month before the upcoming ceremony. Your nomination should look something like this: Nominee: <Insert Player Name> Nominator: <Insert Player Name> Reason for nomination: <Insert Reason> A player may be nominated for more than one kind deed, however, an average vote number will be determined based upon each nomintion's votes received. Voting: Voting will begin one week prior to the ceremony. Voting will take place on the forums for one week, the votes will then be collected and tallied. Rewards: Rewards will vary depending on how outstanding the winning nomination reason is and the amount of votes received. (If you are willing to sponsor rewards please message me in game or via forum.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first ceremony shall be held on: 31/01/2015 Nomination deadline: 22/01/2015 Please begin your nominations.

I tried adding an onion to it's body for shape...it looked heavily pregnant/bloated. I decided against it... :))

Ah! Now see this! THIS is the Demon I have wanted to see. Ask about revival now and it would be my right hand, not the left. Welcome back. Anyway, on topic. Wonderful idea in my opinion. With the the new scripting tools this shouldn't be out of the question! I'm liking the idea for almost a separate game play when killed. Kudos. ~Sasha P.S Perhaps as the body would be a dead weight (pardon the pun :P ) it could be dragged a scene closer each time. This would also then help to lower the casts of the currently almost pointless leashes!

I understand completely what you mean, though I wish for others to give something to someone. The act of them doing it, regardless of a reward or not, is to me a sign of acknowledgment. I have not stated what rewards will be, either. Perhaps this is just an incentive to get you gifting just for me to give you a heretic? Maybe I'll double what you give? Or perhaps I actually have a brain and will be able to spot out the "reward seekers" to the ones that really care. I will state it, but I was hoping to not have to. What I want to see are selfless acts such as giving away a prize possession and then being like "Oh, keep the reward. I just did it to help." Now, who does that...well. That's what this quest is all about. Call it my own personal experiment that I am willing to fund. *grins* ~Sasha

I hate the whole bloody thing (pardon the pun) if I'm honest!! :)) The "blood" is actually paprika! What a waste of a good spice hey! Thank you though. I would like the drach, please. (Changed idea) ~Sasha

There are many ways you can turn this "quest"... That's your decision. If it takes me rewarding some, however, to perform an act of "kindness" then so be it. There is a very simple action to what I quoted...but I'll let you decide. ~Sasha

Yes they would my dear, unless someone is willing to post for them. ~Sasha

"We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness." —Charlie Chaplin This quest is a simple one but the reward is...well, who knows? Once, for every player that gives another $5 as an act of kindness, will receive a reward. This reward however you will not know until you have completed the criteria of giving to another. It could be simple heretic archer or perhaps something worth far far more. However, as this is meant to be a quest of kindness and not one of greed, I am hoping to see people stand out and break away from these chains of materialism. Surprise me. This is a permanent quest. Rules If you wish to be reward then please follow these guidelines; 1. The player should be someone you do not know so well, perhaps someone you wish to get to know, perhaps a new player with not much of their own. Not your closest friend. 2. All entries should be submitted here, along with proof their act. 3. To be valid for a reward the gift must be in either- Credits, Gold or silver. Most importantly: 4. By entering into this challenge you accept that if any alts are used you will be banned from any future quests I may hold and I reserve the right to claim back the reward I give. Details on rewarding Rewards will be distributed on a "first come, first serve" basis. Rewarding times may vary depending on the reward being given, rest assured though that all rewards will eventually be given. If I am taking time, be grateful, it probably means a bigger reward. With that said, Good luck, ~Sasha Lilias, Ghost of Fortune
