Update on storage functions..... mds_storage_load and mds_storage_read are both rejected by the compiler, as they contain the reserve words "load" and "read" respectively. I have successfully implemented code to save a list of players and a data array associated with each as follows: @vo=mds_storage('[s]mysecretname[/s]','aoau'); The following is first-time call and sets up two npc's. It never had to be run again, so is turned to comments with //. //if(@storage[@vo]==null){ // @temp=array('name'=>'Herself','Team'=>3,'Power'=>15); // @storage[@vo]['The Queen']=@temp; // @temp=array('name'=>'Herself','Team'=>2,'Power'=>15); // @storage[@vo]['The Princess']=@temp; // }; The following is normal call to save a new name. @temp=array('name'=>uv('name'),'Team'=>@vt,'Power'=>@vv); @storage[@vo][uv('name')]=@temp; This is a call to reset myself so I can debug. @storage[@vo]['Fyrd Argentus']=null; This is a conditional statement for if the player is in the list or not if( @storage[@vo][uv('name')]==null ){ ---do one thing }else{ ---do something else }; This is the code for counting up power on each team. @vq=0;@vr=0;@vs=0; foreach(@storage[@vo] as @vl){ //note using @vl as the running index echo 'Fighting for '; if(@vl['Team']==2){ echo 'The Princess'; @vr=@vr+@vl['Power']; }else{ if(@vl['Team']==3){ echo 'The Queen'; @vq=@vq+@vl['Power']; } else { echo 'Balance in the Realm'; @vs=@vs+@vl['Power']; } }; echo ' with a power of '.@vl['Power']; echo ' is '.@vl['name'].'.<br>'; }; // Fin player list echo 'Score is '.@vq.' to '.@vr.' '.' with '.@vs.' neutral.<br>';

You need to click inventory above the mood panel to get the functionality you need. If you click your own [I] doc you do not have that functionality in that view.

What is good? Following the Taoist precepts, Good only exists as a subjective value judgement in relation to Evil. Therefore what is good for one of us may not be good for another of us, and anything lodged in this multi-faceted web called Life has components that are both good and bad in the myriad of contexts in which it might be evaluated. A Good person considers the needs of, and impact on, others in everything they do. An Evil person deliberately acts contrary to the needs of others. Most of us carry on in an oblivious fashion. What is your best physical attribute? Let's face it, physically I am a wreck. I would trade my above-average strength for agility any day. My hearing, once measured as 5dB better than average, and my ability to hear the texture and pitch of sounds and the character of what made a particular sound is perhaps my best physical attribute. What is your best non-physical attribute? I live outside the box, with a grand big-picture view, always a different perspective, always striving to see how all the little bits of the world fit together, and am pretty "good" at that. What do you value most? The value of a thing depends on its uniqueness. That which is unique is of highest value. And the things that are most unique are the souls of individuals - except for those who are soul-less followers of fashion and the herd.... What is 2 + 2? An arithmetic expression What do you know? I stink, therefore I am. (Seriously, the more seriously a person takes themselves, the more likely they are to be seriously wrong.)

Golly, if we're going to low-ball, then 2sc each for #2 thru 5.

Check your spam folders. 4 of my 7 "peasants" got it - not sure what they'll do with that now that I can do clickies - but the other three had expired yahoo e-mail accounts (4 months inactive) and so they did not receive the MD e-mails.

Wonderful picture, absolutely great, even the border. But one IS left wondering about the significance of the flaming weasle in the center....?

Okay, <img src="whereveritis"> displays the image (thanks), but it does not do it in linear sequence with the avy calls. Worse, I have discoverd there is a 5 avy limit to a clickie display. Tsk, tsk, this is not going to work the way I thought.... a chessboard filled with avys is not going to automate easily.

Okay, real basic stupid question. I have a .jpg file (e.g., screen shot of an avy). How do I print it out interwoven with the other stuff on a clickie? I seem unable to paste an image into the content section...

Either a knife, a carrot, or one of my spicy pickles. This poor stone fellow obviously needs one.

So if I create an alt just so that I can print out the avatar I put on it - is that alt abuse? Actually that's a pretty expensive way to do it, unlocking avy's, so I'm not going to anyway....

How do you echo an avy by ID number (e.g., one in your vault)? Also, is there a way to print out the negative (white on black) of an avy?

Actually, Child of the Soul and Duxie appear to have tied at 7 each. Congrats!

See if you can guess who first came up with the idea of each of the challenges. Don't be fooled by Fyrd's glossy prose editing - we are looking for the originator of each idea. At 23:00 at Border View Tower, the answers will be revealed. See how many you got right out of 12, self-score, and report any score you are proud of here in this thread. 1 - hands across the land 2 - Recitation Class (alphabet) 3 - Avoid the Snares (hangman) 4 - Class Room (personality guess & trivia) 5 - Auction 6 - Auctioneer 7 - Liars Dice 8 - Seven Differences 9 - Paper Shaper Quest 10 - Return of Apricot 11 - Treasure Hunt 12 - Guess the Inventor

At 21:00 today, Merry Devilers will scatter all over the new East Lands dropping CTC's everywhere they go, like Easter Eggs. Many of these will be of minor value, but a few will be special. Bunnies, grab everything you can! If you don't like what you catch, throw it out for somebody younger to pick up. Bunnies - Empty your baskets in preparation for the big treasure hunt. Merry Devilers - Fill up your slots with extra stuff and get ready to spread them everywhere.... The event starts at the Border View Tower - 21:00 (or when Apricot finishes if it runs over - check in then to find out). ps - if you are a young player not a Bunny, you can play too.....

Every Bunny needs to be curious and clever. Here is the challenge. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H78RH4UB Winner is first BUNNY to post the solution in this thread.

[quote name='Sephirah Caelum' timestamp='1303083096' post='82929'] If I tell that I'm inscribing for the Merry Delivers just for the sake of buring Marind Nitratus. Will I still be accepted? [/quote] I'll ask Chewett to sign you up. Please get your player id on the members thread in the birthday challenges forum.

bump Day 5 is last day of challenges! Day 6 is for score taking and awards.

This round score: I am Bored = 11 Laphers =12 Yoshi = 10 Eon = 17 ZenTao = 7 Arrana = 7 "a" = 12 Cutler = 1 Darry Dabby = 6

First round, Shadowseeker (not a bunny) couldn't control himself and swept the field, answering all but 1 of the questions. Others had some opportunities to correct mis-spelled names. Bunny scores: Clockmaster 1 nadrolski 1 Mithrandil 1

Mur clarified that he wanted all challenges to be relatively short in length so that they could be scored by the monitors. Hence, no multi-day challenges. I'm a bit confused - Clock and Ravenstrider did the first solution. What is their part in the second solution you added, Duxie? This effort is certainly a better one by score, and deserves recognition.

Bump - and a reminder to Merry Devilers to help fill this hosting schedule!

Challenge definitly closed. The best (and only) entry won the war by intimidating all would-be challengers. Awesome.

I just suggest you have them bid with carrots or something so that they won't get confused about coins. And if they eat them before the game is over, too bad.

Okay, we'll close this down soon, per Mur's new rules. Clock and Ravenstrider, don't forget to give your impressions to a moderator. Thanks for playing.
