So it would seem really lame to talk about in-game achievements, like .... I will never get the "full glow" achievement because I always keep low level creatures around as rewards, or will be training something new. Turning on the colored light will always take a lower priority. I could sacc all my creatures not max level, but it would not be a good choice ...... So I will never get to see it.... Sad........... Could drive a perfectionist crazy. What a dilemma .... Now I know what the Moth near the candle felt like.......

Yahoo is one way to create new "disposable" register e-mails.

I have a joker with [blooddrop2][goldbelt][claw3] What's it worth to you?

Champion Fighter Yoshi (Won boss heads as MP3?) Elite Evil Villain of the Year "No One" the player (single-handedly destroyed GGG) Prime Quest (best quest) "What number am I?" (Cutler's work is what pulled me into Magic Duel) (Edit: Okay, it was old when I joined in spring, but it was there to play this year, even without WP. Cutler deserves recognition of some sort after seeing his baby the Astral Plane discontinued....) Top Techie (technical knowledge as well as technical help or script help) Chewett

Archivists, Legend Speakers, Tribunal Caretakers & Seall of Six, Underground, (and Pirates?) -- all are alliances without kings over them.

Okay, just to see if I can make DST happy (it's an experiment....) I ran down to 0 AP by saccing. 2:29 left on my clock. Waited 19 minutes (should have cycled 3 times now). Still says 0 AP - no surprise, I did not go idle. Tried to post on mood panel, it says "Not enough Action Points". Refreshed the webpage. Now says 105 AP. Posted successfully on the mood panel. So, permission to post on mood panel depends on the last time I refreshed my page, not current actual AP. Permisssion to move, for instance, does not work this way. I am running Internet explorer.

Well, the refresh took my display from 0 to 70 so I know I had at least 35 AP at worst. The entire process took less than a minute, including reject, refresh, successful repost. Perhaps you'll jump to a different conclusion than I jumped to.

Trivial really, but for the record.... Mood Panel wouldn't let me post, claiming insufficient action points, until I refreshed my AP display.

DST is causing more damage through causing players to panic than she does by attacking. A GGG-style training can be conducted using defensive rituals that can't be broken. Not so hard with slider and regen. Then, who really cares about poachers? So you don't hold 100% VE - who cares? One clear objection about GGG had to do with the special rules and the special powers to enforce them artificially. This does not apply here, and will not apply to any other group-created training mode. That's the difference between a group training and a "new GGG". The MP3-4 objection was that they were learning bad habits - but that's really their problem, and there are other solutions -- other training methods are offered to draw their interest. In fact we should all be worried about the limitations of GGG style. No victories, no xp, no wins for damaging creatures, etc. We ran a great training session at GoS for some time with MIXED defensive rituals, different needs for different people. It just takes a lot of communication - which is a good thing....

I had this same result months ago. Complained, I was told it was not a top priority.

Great capture of your thoughts. You should put this on your comments to self page, if you have not yet done so.

Lifting my post from I am Bored's aborted attempt at starting this thread, and whittling off the items on grido's list, or that were awarded prizes on their own merit.... Best: Puzzle Quest, Group Adventure Quest (split this category) Event Organizer Game Service: Forum Mod, Code-Bug Killing, Big Gift Spender, Cash Supporter, Booby Prizes: Obnoxious Win Poacher, Biggest Mouth, Silliest Role Play, Biggest screw-up, Biggest Combat loss, Most jail time, Funniest

I would offer the services of the MDA as go-betweens, when anonymous grievences must be aired, but really that is a perfect fit to the function of the Tribunal, is it not?

Some known, unavoidable issues: If you enter story mode, you lose your progress. Send me a screen shot of your Lost Path Fountain inventory and I will have to restore it manually after you leave story mode. Do not use the drop-down shortcuts for passwords provided by some browsers (Firefox) - it does not work right, resetting the password for you and kicking you out of a dialog prematurely.

Ok, dead issue then, please close.

Dead issue. Please close.

I'm told that all my coded mds_give_rpcq_keys for Lost Path Adventure are gone when going up MP level. Maybe this is by design, but it is an unwelcome surprise.

We did the usual thing. It claimed that the battle result was 0% vs. 100%, even though I did not damage the trees. The battle log claims he lost just 238 VE, which is a tiny fraction of his creature VE. It claimed my creatures gained VE (combo effect I guess). No xp loss was awarded.

[quote name='Yala Sviseusen' timestamp='1289277335' post='71718'] Awww.. I'm sad to hear you're not my protector anymore Fyrd. Don't cut yourself short, you made quite an mp6.. Thanks for everything! Also, I never got pickles... Best wishes!! Yala [/quote] Well, I did legitimately fall below 30 adepts, so I had to decide whether to go back in high gear, or go with the flow. I did not cut myself off.... You have two pickles credited to your name on the little gold parchment I have (one for being my adept, one for being my worshipper). Another pickle is a freebie for reminding me in chat that you are alive (that one goes on your public log). And it only takes 3 to qualify for the first level prizes. And there are lots more pickles to be had for solving my riddles or helping me with the Lost Path Adventure...

With regrets, I must pass the mantle of MP6 responsibility to another player. Too many things are drawing my attention from performing well the duties of an MP6, which include making welcome a constant stream of new players to replace adepts that have gone inactive. I whole-heartedly recommend that my adepts and worshippers shift to the person I will support for MP6, because I think they will do an excellent job, as shown by his LHO work - and that is *BFH Lighthing* (yes that's an H not an N). I will remain helpful as I can to all who seek my help. And, loyal adepts and worshippers, you have earned my gratitude and the pickles I offered for supporting me. I am taking a snapshot of the list and those pickles are permanent, even though I am no longer formally collecting adepts. I appreciated the opportunity to explore a new facet of MagicDuel, and hope to continue to liven things up as I move to other endeavors and responsibilities. Best of Luck to all! Fyrd Argentus

In this quest, players are asked to beat back the shadow army, recover the Lost Path Treasures, reassemble them as the Princess's Crown Jewels, and bring the fight home to the shadow army. No more wishpoints are available at this time, but plenty of pickle points, redeemable for prizes (see my Quest [Q] Doc), will be awarded for steps along the way. All you need to know to begin is to visit me at the hut north of Wind's Sanctuary. If you want more background, feel free to talk with me in-game, or read below. I "really" need your help in putting these spirits to rest. I originally used my musical magic (see my "comments on self" [=] Doc) to make contact with a host of sprits guarding the Lost Path Treasures. This quest was originally presented here: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/7555-lost-path-treasure-quest/ at this stage was quite difficult and worth 12 pickles to complete. You can always come back to work on the pickles, but if you try your hand at ghost hunting first, short-cuts to usable facsimilies of the treasures can be substituted. The problem came when the forces of shadow sensed the stirring of the guardian spirits that I had awoke. They mounted an invasion of the realm, which is detailed in phase 2 of the quest (which is by far the easiest place to start, now), which was presented here: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8119-ghost-hunting-the-lost-path-shadow-army/ Once you have the complete collection of treasures, or reasonable facsimilies, you must assemble them into the crown jewels, which are a powerful set of magical equipment. With them, you will be able to carry the fight home to the Shadow Army, which is issuing forth from the Primordial Source. The story continues to grow even now. Enjoy!

Well, a whole string of If statements.... if(mds_has_rpcq_keys('whatever1'){echo "blah blah blah"."<br>";}; if(mds_has_rpcq_keys('whatever2'){echo "blah blah blah"."<br>";}; This is not unlike when you go to the Lost Path Fountain mirror, it gives you an inventory of all the stuff you have (keys) from my quest, as well as the ve and vp stuff.
