BFH

I am terribly Busy IRL. Can't take part as an authority for Titles. Sorry.

I hate cats!! They are betrayers! (plus are a good source of toxoplasmosis) I love dogs, they dont betray and are always loyal! :D Forget about the cat d! get a dog! :D

HBD!! Side Comment: The biggest minds were born on August!!, to the rest: SUFFER!! :D hahaha

THANK YOU ALL!

So wasn't this a petition? Discuss the other stuff on a proper topic.

instead of confusing people point them to the right direction... http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/15567-the-bonds-that-bind-us/#entry152778 So people to start Nim's Spelldoc quest, send her your player ID via Forum Message as those were her instructions

I request council to clarify the announcement. I think that at least 5 players from each Mind Power should make the petition for HC to run again, else we are gifting the medal :P

In science: Heat is simply a transference of energy between things that are at a different temperature. Why the transference occurs [naturally]? because all tends to its lowest energy state or chemical equilibrium. [Many explanations can be given with physical chemistry laws, Gibbs etc, but I'm not willing to discuss those!]

Can active members please let know the community what this alliance do? and which are its tools? and its importance? Not that I don't know any of those, but if someone is willing to join this guild they should know that sort of info...

This is true, not to mention the money to do so is limited (server needs to be payed you know :P) There are other options that can help MD, for example activity in MD social media. Unfortunately I'm too busy IRL and my free time is spent for MD on other webs, but that's something I won't discuss here. However, if anybody feels like contributing on those regards, please speak to Chew and/or Council. After Chew finishes his changes, I'll take care of boosting MD traffic using my influence in other webs. Why this can't be done now? To put it in an easy to visualize example, It would be like launching a nuclear strike on an empty enemy base, will cost a lot, but will produce no or very limited effects. See above explanation. How can you help MD? http://magicduel.com/pages/info.advertise.php

Item Code is displayed when you are gathering the item from its original location. If you gathered it already providing the item name and id is enough. [Don't post any ITC :D] Note: I include those in this list because they are common use items and are used widely on the game. Council as always when the time comes will decide if they will or not commission those artworks or if they will bug Mur for them :)

The purpose of this topic is to work together as a community to help identifying which artworks are pending ingame. This will eventually help council commission someone to do them or to poke Mur about them :) I will start with some samples: General Profile (Stats) 1. Herbalism (18x18 pixels) 2. Finesse (18x18 pixels) 3. Volition (18x18 pixels) Housing 33 (Alliance) 1. Main Logo (140x140 pixels) -Copy needed (70x70 pixels) If you see a shared item without its image please add it to the list and specify item code. Note: While you can wait on Chew or Council to do this kind of stuffs, you can also accelerate the process and help them with small things like this. Remember, MD is a community driven game and the other admin out there is you.

Questers I'll support this summer festival with my tools, that means that if you as a quester have a good idea but lack of tools that you know I have available, you should ask me for them. Notes: 1. I will ask you first how you are planning to use them. 2. Send me a forum pm so that we can speak. Ingames pms will be probably ignored. 3. I'm likely to get online few during the festival as I have loads and loads of work pending IRL (Science is first :P) so Council will supervise your use of the tools if you get them. That said, please support Sunfire's initiative!! :D

Agree, I will not reply here further conserning Kings or whatever.

Sorry for not replying to the other stuff I'm too busy to do a full and appropiate reply in regards to finding a good solution for our current MD status. Don't get me wrong Rhaegar and don't take it personal. I'm angry with Kings just because I see no initiative from them, not because I can do X or Y things better :P Actually, I strongly believe that Kings can do better than what they are doing currently. You as a collective can do what I've done better. I stopped, that's true. Mur and Council know the reasons, that's not for me to disclose. I've had huge discussions with Mur regarding advertising and major issues the game have. He is aware of them, he recognized many of the issues, but unfortunately none has been addressed. Perhaps his plan for 2050 is the project that will fix multiple of the issues pointed out, but that will progress slowly and until it is finished the solution to MD status isn't agressive advertising but simple things done inside the game to make it move foward even while it have multiple issues, and I believe Kings have that power :P So the solutions, that I as advertiser have proposed are ones that will take time to implement, mainly because Chew is the only one actively working with code. But we need short time solutions, and we shouldn''t expect Council to do all. So, the next line that follows are Kings and land Rulers., and I still believe you as Kings doesn't understand the Power that you guys have to request small things that can do big changes to be done. Aside that, problem with my MD role is that you know 0.01% of the work I did and still do :P So eventhou if you hate me because of what you see that I do, I for a chance know that you wouldn't hate me if you knew what I do, but that, should stay on the background and I'm not willing to share it :P (Still love you Rhaehar :P hahah)

Silver gifts are in stock and broze ones out of stock. As Ary said, You can get silver gifts by registering an account and voting with your account for MD. Each successful gold=1 gold. After ten gold you can exchange them for one gift using on BrowserMMORPG.com gift shop. Broze gifts are given sporadically after a successful vote. They are out of stock at the moment and I have no time right now to restock them :P

Don't get me wrong, I always support innovation and efforts to try getting things better, but I pointed what I think is a bigger problem in MD and that is the lack of interest in players, something that can be easily changed by Kings and Land Leaders, but so far it is not happening and that makes me angry. I'm not against CoE reinstitution, but if it is to happen it shouldn't become an alliance without a purpose and one that would become boring for the people in. It should head precisely towards activity and innovation for MD. Yes. But this wouldn't be necessary if their rulers (Kings and land Leaders) revive alliances with new purposes and ideals. If I took what you said correctly, I must agree that Chew's citizenship system was one of the best things that could have happened to MD as it precisely helps younger players getting into a land without much effort. However, I'm not actually refering to that. Tell me, to whom will new players speak if there's not enough activity in lands, if they are not beign introduced to lands since they begin? what would incentivize a new player to give the first step? Why they should give the first step and not the land show interest in citizens? What's the purpose of a land without citizens? I can continue with such questions as I made them to myself several times... Certainly, I still believe that Kings and Land Rulers should make it easier to young players to get in. They should cautivate players, make them interested in lands, offer them something. Think of it the following way, your land is a product and you should think in a way to sell it. You could always leave your product in top of a table and let people discover it by themselves (current system) or you could go to the people and sell the product to them in a personalized way (optimal system). Now get my point? Ohh but you are looking at the smaller picture, not to mention that I strongly disagree with the no propaganda thing. First, with propaganda people will start feeling wanted, they will start feeling important. They will know that the game is much more than what it appears. They will wonder what happens next and they will stay to find out. If you see the smaller picture you might say that Necrovion has a few citizens that doesn't there. However, look at the bigger picture, with the propaganda Necrovion did back then people got interested in the land and nowadays you can see that there are players that were affected by that propaganda that are still active. Activity is what we want, that;s the bigger picture. The more people we get involved, the best the game becomes. Propaganda doesn't affect the freewill of players, that's a lol, in MD players can change of lands, alliances, or move to any place they like. Isn;t like you are stuck with the same land forever :P Agree of the work together part etc. So why I point Kings and Land leaders. Well simple, Kings and Land Leaders are the people that can potentially make council, developers, and Mur create tools and stuff for a better MD. Currently I've seen no active efforts from Kings towards that. They are known and have power, but they dont use it. I'll put myself as example. As a simple individual, partially unknown in MD, I started my festivals and events out of nowhere requesting people sponsorhip, moving around with the small tools I had, (mp6 and LHO by that time) With my effort what started as a small initiative and became somewhat known. Eventually I requested council and Mur tools that would help me organize better events. Nowadays, I have tools and spells that no other players in MD have. Tools that serve to organize any sort of events and contribute to a better MD. Now, I accomplished that without being known, without possesing any power or status. What Kings with their power and status have accomplished? (I speak generally as I'm trying to get you, and the other Kings aware that they can make MD move foward and that there's much more you can do, besides diplomacy) I mostly agree with this, except that as I've pointed out kings can do much more. We all have RL stuff to do, but lets make worth the time we spend in MD.

Please note that I speak now as the guy who is looking at stats and facts. My views are based on numbers not what I would like or not. From numbers perspective, currently: 1. MD doesn't have the capability of holding any other alliances, due to lack of players 2. Creation of new alliances, might lead to disbanding other Out of numbers and from a player perspective: I would love to see lands more inclusive. They should treat new players as part of them, without any hard requirements. If players find themselves involved in something, if they feel part of something and they feel important, they will stay and MD will have glorious times again. I'm so angry with Kings and land rulers currently. They are more dead than their lands. They should be searching for new players for their lands, they should be hunting for them since they begin the game. We need more spice in the game, something crazy happening. Lands should compete to see which can do x or y thing better, start a war or just do something to make people interested in them. The past is the past and as long as you keep thinking on the great things that happened before and forget thinking on the great things that can be done, you will miss moving ahead and nothing great will happen. Kings and land rulers have the power of changing the status of the game, even before the major changes we are expecting from development and code perspective. You have in your hands the ability of making your lands interesting again. The questions is, will you? A little example to prove my point: Why having alliances that are "DEFENDERS" or are "KNIGHTS" if there's nothing to defend or attack? Eventually, and this is what is happening, people gets bored of being in a place that is not interesting and doesn't involve him/her with a purpose to fight for, and this finishes in them leaving the game.
