Expecially now that we have "viscosity", how about a method, similar to praying, for converting heat into AP? 100 per AP is my opening suggestion. This would mean max heat with full orbs gets you 80 AP which, combined with normal AP, should be enough to take one step anywhere, worst case. And laws of reversibility being what they are, perhaps the reverse transaction should be allowed too. With efficiency loss of course.

I believe it all started at 20 viscosity, and has been falling on used paths. I tried beating a path between Winds and the Paper cabin, but there are many others there to do that. I am in the far east now, seeing what can be done. xreig - 100ap per step would be quite a shocker.... ie bug....

Sounds like I owe 18 sc. Sasha, I'm in the far east - will gladly pass over coins when we cross paths. Slaves-for-a-day -- I'll be in touch later. Muwhahahaha....

[code]'[/code] Nope, still converts it to an apostrophe. &_#_3_9_; without the underscores.

Apostrophes in clickie titles... Use & then # then 39 then ; (five characters in a row - when I put it here, it turns into an apostrophe!) This is then interpreted as html. Thanks for the tip, Chewett. btw - chewett says use code tags in the forum, and it will let you spell such things out. That's [ followed by "code" then ] then the thing itself then [ followed [i][b]by / then again by code[/b][/i] and ] [sequence fixed per duxie below.]

Allow me to again point out that my most effective adept recruitment tool when I went MP6 was to encourage noobs to enter Wind's and ask questions (the signpost is still up to encourage that) - then monitoring the chat there, answering questions that hung in the echoes, then only when thanked, inquiring if they have a mentor yet.... btw, I am trying to help Windy take over care and maintenance that signpost. If there are others who wish to work with her on that, I would love to reclaim that clickie for my quests.... Until such time, I will serve MB in this way....

Hey, I don't actually WANT all these guys - let's hear some more bids!

First two submissions (by Stipple) are now posted. Need 8 more minimum....

[quote name='Tarquinus' timestamp='1308726500' post='86560'] I give Fyrd a big thumbs-up, too - the guy has put a LOT of effort into MD. [/quote] *The old man blushes.* I may have started out old, but I don't think I'm a legend yet. I followed in the footsteps of Cutler, whose puzzles and quests showed me the potential of this realm, and how players could create in it. All the little games to play in clickies. And of course his masterwork, the Astral Plane. To me he is a Legend, and I would not feel right joining those ranks until at least a cycle after him. Besides, my story is not yet done, and I think of Legends as being things of the past. I see sadly little of Cutler now, and I don't want him and his efforts to be forgotten.

You made a good run of it, helping many people, and we all owe you a debt of thanks.

Don't trim the wings - fold them into a W shape like the bird is diving.... that will let you get more detail on the body that won't dissappear at pixel resolution (just an opinion with zero influence). The preferred style seems to be more what you can get out of an old-fashioned wood-cut ink-print block or stamp. Shade by line density a little more coarse than the pixel resolution. The edges have to be alpha-zero to blend into the page. If you're going to shadow a zone, make it a pool or cloud that has a natural transparent edge.

Assuming the list is these 13 : http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/9835-md-auction/ And Nim has a high reserve, and I already got xreig, I'll bid 2sc each for the other 11 Item Name: All Bid 11x2sc Bidder Name: Fyrd

This is a record of those that have helped me in building up power to fight and/or appease the spirits in the realm. Each I have repaid with an augmentation of their own magical abilties (wp). I stand ready to similarly teach new magic (wp) to those who push the frontiers further than any of these heroes have done. But of course, I can only help each person in one step forward in the growth of their magical powers - I can only teach you so much.... Three lordly gentlement first helped me get attuned to the magic in this realm, and I shared a bit with them in return. These were Lightsage, Mighty Pirate, and Clockmaster. Their help let me tune in to the Lost Path. Kafuuka was the first to find 7 crown jewels. Zleiphneir was the first to find 8. VonUngernsternberg was the first to defeat the Shadow Army. Esmaralda was the first to beat the Shadow Army on their own turf at the Primordial Source, with all copies of the crown jewels. Duxie beat the Shadow Army on their own turf, and has 6 original crown jewels to boot. Pazur was the first to find 10 crown jewels. WormInStone was the first to beat the Shadow Army before I even knew he was helping me, then assembled copies of the crown jewels. Passant the weak hit a new record of helpfullness, 19 pickles prior to getting the crown jewels, and 28 after marching on the Shadow Army at the Primordial Source.

My magic is being diluted.... the strain of battle is great.... it is now necessary to use the incantation "LOOK" to see my image in the hut, or to see the visions in the Fountain of the Lost Path. Also this day, I have resolved to only provide personal magical augmentations (wp's) to those who have bettered the efforts of their predecessors in helping me to fight back and/or appease the spirits. You may read more about what has been accomplished by the Heros of the Lost Path, in Legend Speakers/People in the News.

Length is whatever it takes to cover the topic. An obvious fluff job will be rejected. But CONCISE is good. I'd rather see 20 concise articles than one encyclopedic ramble that puts people to sleep. ONE MORE PROVISO ON THE WISHPOINT -- I've not seen any submissions yet. I would look silly giving out a wp if there are only one or two submissions. Since I have 9 topics up already in "People in the News" I'm not going to award a wp unless there are at least 10 new submissions. OK? Go!

Fine then. Geez, I was trying to help. 2sc each for the lot.

The attack button reads.... User not here reward 400 honor Like we get a reward for this....

I will bid 1sc each for the rest.

I would pay 2sc apiece for them. Is that a bid, or a buy it now?

2sc each for the lot.

3sc each on any that havn't hit that yet (I think that's the angien, an UP, and a pimp)

The main issue is finding how to set your "alpha" to zero. Can't do it in Paint. Need to find how to do that in whatever program you are using.

Look at "People in the News" section under Legend Speakers. http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/forum/224-people-in-the-news/ I need stories - on the topics listed or others. Ideally they should be informative and engaging articles about people that everybody needs to know more about. You'll see some bad starts I've made, and I won't accept anything objectionable, offensive, etc. Best you interview the subject to get their buy-in for the article. Yes, you may write about yourself. I am looking for non-fiction or even tall stories, but not pure fantasy. Individual stories will be paid as described in the editiorial policy thread. Now here's the CONTEST - whoever submits the LARGEST NUMBER of acceptable articles by the end of July (about 6 weeks from now) gets a wishpoint! In case of a tie, the deadline will be extended in 3-day increments until we have a winner. I will be the sole judge of what is acceptable, but I really do want to flesh this section out. I reserve the right to do copyedit on accepted works. You can PM me or post the submissions under topics that have been solicited. I will delete unacceptable posts - quickly if objectionable, slowly if there is a public outcry or it just doesn't measure up.

26 million heat in just 10 days? What did it step into? I'll give 1gc for that...

Amazing how the pendulum swings. How many recall the days when you couldn't sell an angien egg for 1sc, right after they were no longer worth saccing? Don't stand on the spot and study it - the pendulum will be returning - it's the Law (of Gravity).
