BFH

I must say thanx for this great contest Zen.

Updated and If a mod can remove the exxagerated spaces would be nice. There is a little forum bug somewhere...

By now winner is Darkraptor. Winner of one WishPoint, congrats Thank you all for participating. Mod pls close.

[quote name='Sasha Lilias' timestamp='1324918461' post='98677'] Do you think the abuses would continue if STRICT rules were set in place? Firm and clear warnings need to be set and IF those are broken the BIG penalties need to be implemented. Jail, Bans, etc. I am sure there are people that are able to check these things? In my eyes the Active Days requirement is a very....lazy...way of preventing alt abuse. ~Sasha [/quote] Yes sasha, people are available to check such things. But as I said, Council is flooded, dst new role might be useful, but for a huge number of alts we would see more complains because I;m sure there will be massive bans. Abuses can happen very fast, and if the person is smart enough, checks aren't even enough. Problem is that if I explain in details I should bann myself, becuase I would give away keys to abuse. ------ [quote]In my eyes the Active Days requirement is a very....lazy...way of preventing alt abuse.[/quote] Yet, it's a way to prevent the abuse before happening and that is what is needed. Why we should allow abuses to happen when we can prevent them? Santa was the solution to those who couldn't access the tree. As another solution: [list] [*]Make the gifts given by tree and santa non transferable. (And many will complain "Why we can't do whatever we wish with our gifts." [/list]

[quote name='Sasha Lilias' timestamp='1324916569' post='98669'] BFH, when I said a "few" I meant as in the few that create the alts to abuse. (Not long ago the tree was available for ALL, and was never As for your comment on the "unbiased santa", do you really think Mur would just let some random person do it without actually giving them a few tools and knowledge on the game first? So "come on" BFH! ~Sasha [/quote] Thanks for proving my point sasha. Was never what? abused? A BIG LOL to that. For years as I said it was abused, because it was available to ALL, new accounts, alts, mains. So sasha you are smart. Calculate how many accounts can be created in just a few hours to abuse tree, calculate how many alts I can login to abuse tree. Consider the fact that if I know the tree won't have any requirements I'll create alts before hand. Come On! A few would create alts, yes in your world. It was fixed last year and I Give a BIG Applause to that! -- And do you think little knowledge helps in something? Mur can't take that person and tell them this account was bad, this did that and the other. moreover, what will happen when that person get stuck. "Excuse me, I don't know anything of what I'm giving, just a few, I'll be back in an hour!" [quote name='Fire Starter' timestamp='1324917031' post='98673'] Another point of view, and a question in the same time: What happens to the ones, to which it was said that they are granted a gift, but it's nowhere to be found? And Santa was so confused, he failed to answer where exactly it was hidden - north, south, east west, under or on top of the tree... Yes, I am refering to me. If there are others, please feel free to join me. [/quote] According to all said, i think santa sent the gift by PM. if that is what you mean. [quote name='Sasha Lilias' timestamp='1324916569' post='98669'] BFH, when I said a "few" I meant as in the few that create the alts to abuse. (Not long ago the tree was available for ALL, and was never actually specified that alts were not allowed to use until in recent years, so many would use their already made alts to get the rewards.) [/quote] Since you changed it >> or perhaps did not finished it before pressing enter I'll share my opinion to your new point again. Still the same, imagine ALL the abuses . Now, even worst abuses can occur. Remember your "coins" thread long ago, and the reply it was given. Consider it and you will surelly realize alts shoul get anything. Requirement was needed and IS needed. I still go for the option: "NO GIFTS FOR ANYONE!"

[quote name='Kafuuka' timestamp='1324913207' post='98656'] That'd be nice if it worked. I don't get why the AD% is not counted for the past year only though. That would be an easy solution to remedy the case complained about and I'm currently unaware of other ways people 'cannot reach the tree'. Easy is good sometimes. [/quote] Because it leads to more abuses. Actually counting last year would only work if another thing is fixed. I won't mention what exactly since it can unleash more abuses. But that "thing" is controversial too. So more complains. Tree is a script. A manual option was needed, Santa was that option, but it seems that people don't want it anymore. [quote name='Sasha Lilias' timestamp='1324914876' post='98662'] Yes it is abuse, but I'm pretty sure Dst, the council and everyone else that watches the who takes from the tree can do something about that. Why should so many others miss out because of a few? I DO realise how many were given out, and I think he did do a good job. What I don't think is good is having a biased Santa. Therefore I still think a santa should be found from outside the game, or some other unbiased way. [/quote] A FEW! are you crazy or what sasha. Last year HUNDREDS of alts abused tree. So many that Mur put the requirement after a few hours. DST, Council, Or whatever, have other things to do. Based on that point of yours. The fews turns out to be those that did not received a gift from the tree, and the majority alts. They even tried to abuse santa, imagine a tree without requirements. [quote] I DO realise how many were given out, and I think he did do a good job. What I don't think is good is having a biased Santa. Therefore I still think a santa should be found from outside the game, or some other unbiased way. [/quote] Again, what!? There are cases in wish the alt check fails, take the case of dst and no one, discussed alredy lots of times. Would you believe that someone from outside will identify that. Come on sasha! >>

[quote name='Deatznce0' timestamp='1324910513' post='98651'] She lacks the connections for other people to send her back. [/quote] As I see things. She did not needed any connections. For such cases your friend could had used: [list] [*]Forums [*]Contacting an LHO [*]Contacting council. [/list] Note: There are emails and phones in our homepage, accessible to EVERYONE.

Regarding GoE tree. People were complaining because they could no longer abuse the tree. Wow, remember last year and the abuses and you will realize that what was done to the tree was very necessary. As some said, why not restricting for alts. Well last year it was discussed that the active alts who also role play should not be penalized. So the tree rewarded those who are active. Santa, well Santa was confused. If we think things with gratitude, we would realize that Santa was a way to gift those who couldn't reach the tree, but were still main accounts, but rather he rewarded everyone. As a matter of fact, it did not existed last year, so we complain if another way of gifting was allowed. PS. seeing the chat log, people tried to abuse Santa as well, many alts not mains. Thinking carefully, are gifts to be abused? Well, I have a solution, next year [b]no[/b] gifts for anyone.

only tailser was banned during the past days, at least that i know... Oo So Council or Mur, and if it was them, they would have a good reason. by tailser i mean him and his alts...

[quote name='ColdSteel566' timestamp='1324693627' post='98446'] @ Seig & BFH. Yes... Because it is so easy to do so... >> Or better yet, if it was, we wouldn't have done it yet... Hmm... I'm sorry, it just seems you failed to think of the obvious. [/quote] I don't expect it to be easy. Peace did what I suggest very well when I was an mp3 and she Queen. [quote name='DarkPriestess' timestamp='1324612874' post='98407'] TTL and I had plenty of plans together to be set but we both required more time in MD rather our real life which is heavy for both of us. Not to mention that TTL is also tired by a few things that have happened lately. I personally have a specific vision of Necrovion, much as you have described so far only this time unlike with Khal, we know more things than he did back then. But me alone can not set anything. I was the Queen, not anymore. No powers whatsoever over the land. I had my shots more than once, don't you believe somebody else should take the reign?[/quote] Well yes, someone should take the reign, but my point is that a bit of "discussion" might cause interest and make things happen faster. BTW: I don't question at all Peace's or TTL interest, they both care for Necrovion, but I'm trying to be a little constructive...

Land leaders, but also a figurehead. A voting system for the land leaders, who are always even- the king gets the last vote if they cannot decide. All within that land are allowed to participate during talking, but cannot vote. S One sentence: I wish lands have contitutional monarchies where kings have the final say only if the land leaders cannot agree. [/log] [log=Chengmingz] I wish MB remains a Monarchy. A Queen or King shall reign over the land! I wish for weapons for our land. Items to damage. To oppose all our enemies. To defend our land. Santa I wish for a monarch in our land and items to defend ourselves! [/log] [log=Fire Starter] Dear Santa, For Christmas I wish Necrovion gets something new - a Premier with Government. I wish elections are held, where the Premier is chosen and then the Ministers will be apointed by Her/Him. We know our leaders well and shall nominate and choose the one that deserves it most. After that the Government will take care for the land's deeds and issues. I know a parliament makes a good soil for growing plots, backstabbing and corruption practices. For your own good, Santa, make sure my wish comes true. I hope you don't expect me to promise anything, right? 1 sentence I wish a Premier for Necrovion, which after being nominated in elections, points group of players to be the Parliament of the land. [/log] [log=dst] Dear Santa, I wish peace and love on MD land . Or not I would go for anarchy.At least for a while. I am pretty sure that players can set themselves in councils, groups etc if they care enough for that land. Besides maybe this way true leaders will emerge. Not ones "elected" because they are simply popular. Popularity doesn't mean competency. Anarchy is the perfect environment for interesting things to happen and true characters to be born (see the pre RPC era). Maybe role leaders is the answer. Maybe not. But for the moment leave MD to heal. Thank you dear and lovable Santa, dst [/log] Thank you all for participating.[/center][/center] NOTE: The top in the list were Z, Jolla, and Cheng. Jury went for Jolla, eventhou it was short, but it was a real wish perse.

I do have a question. If TTL and You actually care for Necro. Why you you both don't try to reorganize the Chaos? I don't know if you tried before, but even without citizenship, you could, i think, try to increase the interest in newcomers or even in old players for Necro. It's a land that actually holds many secrets. Some not even discovered by me yet, so I think it can work. You have the experience Peace, TTL somehow has the "tool" or alli. Why I tell this, simply keeping a land without any discussion won't solve anything. Maybe if Mur see some interest things can change. anyway just my opinion, I can be wrong. B

tal had same prob than me rechecked and still makes flash player crash

I wonder what would be Metal Bunny reaction....

which songs? too many questions, lol
