as i was preparing work for this i named that file Winertia ... what do you think, is it a usable "original" word?

Whatever solution i will find for this, needs to be something that works nice on any screen size. Having the bar on the right slide up and down when its already sliding left right, is not an option.
 
I'll think of something, keep sending suggestions , i might see things from new perspectives
 

Do it

I can do that once the Mur Madness has abated. Once we decide on a name.

I just checked my messages, apparently some are shy to reply here, but i received some articles already. 
I wasn't expecting the articles before talking about what they should contain..but its a good start.
I shall review what i received and prepare them for seo in the next days
 
Thanks, Ungod

I want to start promoting MD again.
I am planning to start a SEO campaign and post some articles with links to MD allover the web, to help us get some more players.
Is there anyone here that can write some 700 word articles about browser based games (half about such games in general and half about Md) ?
This would help me greatly, i will handle the posting and adjust keywords and links myself, but i need something to start from. 
I need multiple such articles written in different form, so i cant write everything myself, and if multiple people write a couple, or at least one, it would be just perfect.
Thanks
 
Ps. Ofc there are rewards for your effort involved

I would like some feedback on some things i want to add or change in the shop, to know if they are ok to be added to the shop, how deep, how many, etc.
Please understand that my account is messed up with all sort of tests and changes and i might not accurately know what some items do or how they really influence you , thats why i need your feedback on this.

(opinions?)

[07/06/19 07:47] :Lazarus turns to Aia 
[07/06/19 07:48] :Aia nods to Lazarus and produces an intricately carved silver chalice 
[07/06/19 07:48] :Aia places the chalice in the moonbeam on the ground and fills it with elemental rainwater

Many thanks to Sushi for creation of this contest, and also for such generous provision of reward, each of which I note requires of significant time and effort from thine own tireless being.
I certainly did not expect to win this avatar, but I promise it shall go to a character worthy of its beauty; I vow that it should not stay locked within a vault, but be displayed by one who shall provide of further depth to her being.

Time's up~

First of all, thank you for your participation & inputs! It's more than I expected and I really enjoyed reading all the submissions.

It's hard to choose coz I like all of them, especially Vicious, Aia & Ailith’s stories! I think their stories are very dramatic and more engaged with the MD theme. Also it’s interesting that Ungod’s story reminds me of a Japanese horror manga “Tomie”, and Fang actually created a love story/backstory of himself, Nava was very close to the deadline but he made it.

So congratulations! I changed my mind, everyone will receive a reward~
(I should find a judge next time :P)

Aia - the avatar & a colored item artwork
Vicious - colored item artwork
Ailith - colored item artwork
Ungod - b&w item artwork
Fang - b&w item artwork
Nava - b&w item artwork

*you can sell/trade/give away the rewards whatever u like.
I will contact the participants individually via forum pm. ????‍♀️

And now for the story:
 

This is my first time coloring a scene, and I like to focus on small things, even it can be unnoticeable & time consuming.

I don't exactly remember the first day of my journey, it was a long time ago...but I still remember the mixed feeling about it.
It was like playing an escape room, so many puzzles and hidden messages around me, I can't wait to click everything and search for clues. but there was no one in the Paper Cabin, then I met the Shades and the little girl (in story mode)...well, little bit creepy but I like it very much, the unknown is beautiful.

Also the Paper Cabin was like a safe room to me, I was extremely curious about the "outside world", but I always go back there when I feel lost. Although it's not the place for beginners anymore, it is still one of the meaningful place in MD.

Golemus Golemicarum

It was day 15 Year 14 when I turned 60 days, I fulfilled an achievement and got a wishpoint.. it seemed a bit hollow to me. I had a plan for what I wanted to do, to travel and to research. The mysteries of the realm lie before me and so far I had done nothing.

So, I checked my backpack and took the boots at the Necrovion Gates, quickly speeding the road to the Golemus Gate. Stepping through, I was excited about what adventures await me there, but more importantly, what secrets lay hidden within each place I would visit.

As it was already late for me, I made my camp at the Bridge of Ages when I landed in GG.

I awoke feeling eager to get exploring. Ungod, who had seen my announcement in the realm status list, came to ask if I would like him to accompany me on my walk. I of course said yes, he is very nice company and a very engaging to talk to.

We began at the mill, where Menhir was awaiting to gather some water. I had seen Menhir once or twice but had never spoken to him. After talking to Menhir for only quite a short time, I found him to be somewhat of a kindred spirit in terms of how we view the realm. I am very much looking forward to talking to him again.

Ungod and I discussed the mill and the interesting points in what we saw before us, and the next days became a blur of discussion and ideas as Ungod accompanied me through each place.

There are some things which I found immensely intriguing and am looking forward to publishing research notes on our realm forum to prompt discussion and ideas.

Then.. the day that changed all, I stepped into the Drachorn lair and was speechless. Before me I saw a mighty drachorn, bound and controlled in place by tiny men. I immediately knew that this place was calling to me, my empathy for the poor beast was apparent.

I took to sleeping there every night, and have been ever since. I call him Bernard for this is a name which is special to my guide in the other realm, and also because I cannot pronounce his true name as he would say it in his mother tongue.

Over subsequent day, Ungod and I travelled through the rest of Golemus Golemicarum, to all places accessible to us. We spoke at length about the meanings and connotations of the various aspects visible in each scene.

I found Ungod to be terribly good company and a good friend, and I hope that he will remain so for the rest of my time in this realm.

There were days when my time awake here was limited, and others where I would simply walk around and think on the wonders of the island. I was disappointed that the tiny men and empty aramors that wander around almost as we do were not present. The island seemed eerily silent without them.

Gradually I became more settled, more at home, and the sensation I had had in MDA paled in comparison. The island I had thought to simply explore had become my home.

I was present at the Gate of Ages when Chewett came to attach the crown to the new King of Golemus Golemicarum, Miq. At that same moment, Sunfire became of mind power seven also. A momentous day indeed.

Fang Archbane had begun holding training spots in and around the island, which meant that more people came to the island. I idled quite a few days away, not attending my research but becoming more aware of the simple fact that something on this island was calling to me.

Then it happened, the day I knew that though I would go to explore all the other lands, that this was my home. I spoke to Miq about how I could petition for citizenship, and he told me he would make me a citizen there and then.

On day 33 year 14 I became a citizen of Golemus Golemicarum. I swore an oath before Miq, which was witnessed by Fang, that I would earn this honour.. and I will.

I am planning now to explore other lands, though the difference in that case is that I will be leaving behind my home to do so and will miss it. The next exploration will be in a few weeks as I have much to do with the potential research I have garnered from this island.

The first subject of which I am planning to publish soon after this journal on the realm’s forum.

Woofbirdy, I don't think Nava meant what he said in a bad or antagonistic way.
I would very much like a GG flag, or one with a red dragon on it

Travelling Investigator.
Josephine, or Josie as she prefers, remembers very little about her existence before she woke up on the beach of the Gateway Island. She senses pain, a need for an end and then.. there she was.
Tall in stature with a motherly appearance and calm, reassuring aspect, Josie is an unassuming middle-aged woman who seems to be guided by one simple word.. adventure.
An avid researcher and writer, she plans on committing herself to the understanding of the geography of the realm and the exploration of all places existing and yet to be found.
Explorer, adventurer, researcher.. this is the path she longs to follow.
In her backpack she carries:
Paper, Pencils, Compass, Sextant, Astrolabe, Nautical divider, Magnifying Glass, Telescope, Several Reference Books, Journal and Notebook.
----------------
My current expedition: Golemus Golemicarum
I am conducting my own research of the geography and the significance of the land and will post my spoiler free journal of it on the forum when I am finished.
I hope that as time goes by, my activities may initiate to some interesting research discussions and quests. One day at a time, though.. I have lots of work to do first!

Fang the only moot point is you involving into something that's none of your business and you don't know enough about. Get your facts straight before you start running your mouth.

Hi, my Molima stopped eating bones.
(I suspect he's preparing for bathing suit test ???? )
No idea if this affects other resource-processing creatures because it's the only one I have.
Thank you!

You heartless sons of a Grinch!
Why don't you like the twinkling bells? ????

This is my entry. I tried my best though I draw like a small child
 
 

Mod: There has been movement in the AL, and this thread is really hostile enough by now. If you could all dial it back one notch, that'd be great, and if you can't, i'll start hiding things.

That is simple ;
1. get some strong men ON horses
2. pull the old man into pieces
3. stuff its pieces into altars
4. eat a cake while waiting to see if anyone recognizes the corpse as being Rophs
