[quote name='Rumi' timestamp='1341163273' post='116416'] Everyone knows flash is a lousy experience on a touchscreen. MD seems well suited to a touchscreen (although touchscreen typing generally sucks). Can magicduel/mobile be implemented with a touch friendly interface? [/quote] Right now I DOUBT. Maybe in some years...

[quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1341139997' post='116369'] It is possible to design a quest where the team works together for one group result. [/quote] [color=#ff0000][b]That's the point, Yes.[/b][/color] [quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1341139997' post='116369'] It is also possible to design a quest where individual members of the team each achieve the result, or not. [/quote] [color=#ff0000][b]It's allowed, but personally I believe that teamwork is better.[/b][/color] [quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1341139997' post='116369'] In either case, we are responsible for generating a team score at the end, possibly using checkpoints to measure progress, that assigns performance of each team on a scale from 0 to 100%. We get a bonus as designers if one team gets 100%. [/quote] [color=#ff0000][b]Yes, this is correct.[/b][/color] [quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1341139997' post='116369'] If we design a quest of the sort where you can count how many of the team members reached the goal, you can assign 100% to the winning team, and proportion the score of the other team? One team has 3 members finish, one has 4 members finish, scores are 75% and 100%. We get the bonus even though all 9 team members did not finish, as long as somebody did finish. [/quote] [color=#ff0000][b]No, don't score them apart, for obvious reasons this can be somehow abused , You won't get the bonus if only one finishes, because they are a team and a team involves everyone of them. However this can vary. For example. Lets say you let them pick two representants of the team. Those two will compete for the whole team. So if they together get 9/10 that's what all the team will get. Or in other case, if they together get 10/10 you get bonus and the team the points.[/b][/color] [color=#0000ff][b]This is the way I see this fair, if all three groups don't agree and want Fyrd's suggestion talk now.[/b][/color]

[quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1341130996' post='116348'] Actually, Adobe have said they will stop supporting and creating flash for android Source - [url="http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html"]http://blogs.adobe.c...oid-update.html[/url] [/quote] Ha! pity now they will make Chrome an important version of android... I hate Chrome... >>

Well I'm curious about this. Which sorts of quests are most accepted by MD community? That's a question in which I think each time I make an event. MD Summer Fest is very near and I want to have an insight on which aspects people likes most about the quest they participate in. So please let me know: [list] [*]Which kind of quests you like? [*]What you like most about them? [*]Add your comments if you want [/list]

[quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1341039471' post='116292'] my chewett@md email is still broked, i can only assume theirs is too. [/quote] My md one works perfectly, but mine was setup differently If I remember correctly. Hope yours and council gets back fast.

[quote name='Grido' timestamp='1340108157' post='115394'] Can people shrink the images for the forum please? [/quote] You can/should Mod edit them Nobody will mind

Yes. I think we were supposed to make him interact a bit

A little bit of off topic: This proves me why we never speak of religion/beliefs in game Sorry Chew for going off topic

1. yes 2. Go to your MD Shop. Search for extra features and buy the Bronce Avatar "miny statue" that is there. 3. You can do both.

Hello Guys, As requested by one of the teams I'll be grouping the rules of the contest in a single place. Full Contest Duration: 3 days; July 17, 18, 19 Three teams assigned. Each team participate on the other two teams quests.[list] [*]Each teams should pick up a Leader and a name. [*]Each group will hopefully have a hidden forum section to develop ideas or plan quests. [*]Each group will develop at least but not limited to 1 quest per day, which must be solvable on that day (Take into consideration that there are other two quests running on that day, and that mine will also take part of the day, which means you should consider time factor at the moment of developing the quests). [*]Each team will assign as much checkpoints as possible (if possible) to their quests (4) that will allow the teams and at the end an average will be taken for the score. [/list] Scoring system: The Team that creates the quest will assign a score based on how many checkpoints every team passed or by completion. Every quest will have x number of checkpoints (or none) and reaching one is worth one point. Completing the full quest is worth another point or just one if there isn't a check point. That means that if I complete a quest with 2 checkpoints and I only reach to the first, I completed an average of 33.3% (1/3) of the quest. If I compete on a quest with five checkpoints and I complete up to the third checkpoint, I get 3/6 and I have 50.0% and so on. At the end the averages will be summed and divided into the amount of quests. The team with the higher average wins. [color=#ff8c00]Example based on the mentioned examples:[/color] [color=#ff8c00]Team BFH:[/color] [color=#ff8c00]Competed on 2 quests got (83.3)/2 average which means 41.65 points[/color] Checkpoints number must be established at the beginning of each quest. Example: For my X contest there will be 0 checkpoints. For my Y contest there will be 5 checkpoints which are.... So what makes us to be sure a team doesn't make an impossible quest? The competing team will receive five points if any of the other teams manages to solve the entire quest. That means that the team will make not an easy quest, but only compete-able quest, so that they get the possibility of getting five points and the possibility to the enemy to participate. NOTE: Teams [color=#ff0000]won't[/color] get points for any independent participation that completes their quests. [b]Independent participations.[/b] If you did not signed up for the teams but you still want to participate, you will be able to do so, but won't compete against them, but instead against all other independent players. Same rules apply but you don't have to create a quest. You will participate in a team quest and they will assign you points that at the end will get divided into the total amount of quests to get an average. The player with highest average gets something. [b]Near to the event we might setup a schedule to be able to collaborate and divide the day as best as possible.[/b] Remember [b]HAVE FUN[/b]!

NOTE: Remember the Summer Fest Duration is Three days

Number of checkpoints: As much as you like. It's recommended that they have some, but be sure to state the number before the quest begins. Scoring: You as team will select x number of checkpoints (IF ANY) to your quests. Points that the team gets are counted as an average. Example: He completed up to checkpoint number 4 out of 5 checkpoints. This means he got 4/6 (100)= 66.67 that is the score they will get. If he finished it fully he gets 100 points. The team that made the quest receives 5 additional points for each team that fully complete the quest. It means that you will have to make a fair quest to receive that bonus. (You don't get any bonus points for those who independently participate and fully complete your quest) ---- Independent participations. If you did not signed up for the teams but you still want to participate, you will be able to do so, but won't compete against them, but instead against all other independent players. Same rules apply but you don't have to create a quest. You will participate in a team quest and they will assign you points that at the end will get divided into the total amount of quests to get an average. The player with highest average gets something. --- At the end the averages will be summed and divided into the amount of quests. The team with the higher average wins. Duration: One quest with the ability of it being solved that same day (must not take excessive time, remember that other teams will also release their quests for the same day and that I will run mine as well, for this we might setup a schedule). Remember this is for fun. I I hope each day we have something new and interesting to do.

Teams are now assigned. Each of you will receive access to a hidden section for quest/contest planning. Remember to work as a team and divide your tasks. The coders, time zones, etc were balanced as best as possible. Remember rewards are worth the effort. Team I: Fyrd Argentus dst AmberRune gonzalocsdf *MasterB* Lone Wolf Rannel Fenrar tom Pouce Team II: Maebius *Shadowseeker* Tarquinus darkraptor Soothing Sands *MRAlyon* redneck The Warrior Jubelee Team III: Chewett apophys Brulant tal *Clock Master* Ivorak Nimrodel Valldore Nal Phantom Orchid lashtal Hint: Start up by choosing a leader and assigning a name to your team. Have fun! OHHH BTW: Subforums will be up as soon as Chew have time. You received a pm with all your members included. Start discussing there

[quote name='Master' timestamp='1340375669' post='115771'] Do note that Yesterday I tried using *MasterB* as my name and it did not work. I had to put it withOUT the stars. [/quote] I saw both of your posts. They appeared on my db. However the * issue was fixed with the brackets issue. If you notice any other issues please let me know. BTW: Alyon you suffered same issue and I have both entries. On your second submission you changed hours from the time schedule. Which you wish me to consider, your first or second submission? [quote name='Seigheart' timestamp='1340379193' post='115789'] I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed it, but that trigger box advert is FULL of spelling errors. And not one or two, but three of them... Sign, Thread, and the second First should be Fest I am assuming. [/quote] Yes, that might happen a lot to me when I work at nights. I don't tend to check spelling, but will do for the following announcements Thanks for reporting and to the one who changed it thnx !

[quote name='Maebius' timestamp='1340292244' post='115641'] But when someone enjoys the game, has integrated themselves into the community, then loses Hope that they will ever get to play again.. that's bad. That reflects directly on MagicDuel itself, counter to the Advertiser's efforts. Pushing a [u]player[/u] away, is generally a bad thing, once it becomes clear that the Character's irritation of "being dead" has crossed over to player frustration at being excluded entirely from what keeps him/her here to begin with. Would the spirit of MD be harmed deeply if in such cases the admins or Council steps in to "cheat" a bit and revive someone in this sort of situation? [/quote] The advertising part is true. it's my eternal fight with Council, but on the other hand they are tied on some aspects. They will implement something... Hopefully.

Most brackets should now be enabled and not trigger my "filters".

Sign up is OPEN now. Please sign up at any Goe's clickables BTW: thanks a Lot to Chew who helped me a lot with the scripting.

[quote name='baiano' timestamp='1340186790' post='115496'] Why in the next BHC i do not exclude the last champion only for one BHC..... it will give the chance to have another winner . Example: -If i won the BHC(so Hard) , the next i will be out , giving the chance to us have another champion, the next champion will have one BHC "rest" after won the BHC , after we have another winner , i will alloyed to play again BHC... this will make BHC ..... -I won -I Rest , waiting another winner -After selected another winner , i will be alloyed to play BHC again.. -Another Player will rest, waiting more one winner.... Rest will be aplicable only for the "Actual Champion"...... [/quote] the should be able to compete for gold and no point if there aren't any participations. There must ne a way to faily involve mp3/4 to the fight some have more stats than me >>
