5 silver for the colored joker.

Will meet market value on any kind or color of joker (or nutcracker or Santa if I can -- may have to work a deal). At a minimum, 1sc per level or token.

Current rules, if you have multi-avy's, it costs you credits to switch back and forth (like changing clothes, or showing moods). Thus, this is discouraged and people will not spring for very many avys. Alternative to consider - switching two avys between the vault and the one displayed is free - would need a cost structure to pay for such avys ONCE. With free use of avys from your collection, people would be encouraged to develop an avy "collection". Current option spreads around a limited number of avys available. Alternative may ultimately get more dollars into MD treasury, and be more fun.

I'm not worried about me. I genuinely think banning spells dilutes the value of wp's, and takes the magic out of "magic duel", and the calculation of "victorious" seems like a bug (math artifact of negative numbers) that begs to be fixed. Another item - defender should get notice of heads changing hands, just like attacker gets. Also, if attacker LOSES heads, this should be subject of a notice.

High res scan on e-mail? Was this a specific request, or some new requirement I (and probably others) missed? btw - BFH and I are working closely together, don't be surprised by some style cross-overs.

Shame on those who abandon their RP/Character/Good-Manners/Soul just to chase heads. There are many situations where good people are still trying to carry on training (GGG etc.) or otherwise would consider it annoying to have to reset their delicate rituals, and it would be rude to bust in and take heads by force. This gives people a way to pass the candy to the children and tell them to go away and play somewhere else, without bothering them.

These "concerns" should all lead to constructive suggests. My first two: 1)Some paid wp for xp cap or ve change, and get to use those in HC. I bought a spell, but can't use it. Spells should be allowed. 2)Definition of victorious has some oddiities around life steal. You are victorious if you lose more than 10%, or gain between 1 and 10%. Not if you gain more than 10%, or lose between 1-10%. I'm sure there has to be some rationale for this discontinuity, but it's sure not obvious. Clean it up?

Did you hold any for the Road Rally?

Sounds like no trades - I'll give 2sc for a joker.

First run of the Rally will be in approximately 1 week from today. The grossly simplified version of the rules: There is only one rule that matters - don't mess with the Peasants, who are the checkpoints. The goal is pretty simple too. Start at the beginning, follow the scavenger-hunt-like directions from Peasant to Peasant and check in with each in turn, and try to hit as close as possible to the proper time -- 30 seconds per action point. Whoever comes closest to the right times wins.

My understanding now is that 0:00 ST May 3rd is actually Sunday afternoon May 2nd here in eastern USA. This is a scheduling problem for me. I can't serve as proxy, and in fact need one myself now.

Fair Fight Zone http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/6925-fair-fight-zone/#entry58546

Anytime, anywhere, if you say "Fair Fight [number]" it is a challenge to take you down with that size ritual. Calculate based on total MAX (not adjusted) VE of the creatures. Adjust for tokens only if it grossly changes the value of a creature. If you use slider more than 0%, add that percent of your MAX (not wounded)VE. Only enforcement - public humiliation. [s]We need a place for combats between rituals of equal power, even if the players are not equal in size. This gives experience in setting realistic rituals in a competitive fashion, and lets us train damaging creatures. The Stairs to Champion's Challenge would be ideal for this, if it had a clickable to post the rules. I am asking for support of a clicable creation there. Procedure: 1)Player announces SET with information about total VE on defense, plus tokens. 2)ONE player says "dibs" on that player, and secures the right to attack, with no more VE than was set. First "dibs on [playername]" in chat gets the attack rights. Details: 1)Calculate power of a ritual based on MAX VE of creatures or players, not current wounded status. VE of players added carries with it player stats, while VE of creatures carry creature stats, so use of the slider is OK, but calculate based on % of MAX VE, not current VE. Stats are really what is important here, Max VE is an easy quick measure of creature value. 2)We might work out an exchange rate between tokens and VE in future, but for now, we need both bits of information. 3)This will be a place of honor and respect, no uninvited attacks, and offenders will be driven away expeditiously. I would like to elicit the support of the Knights of the Bell for this mission, if they are willing. I am presenting this to King Lifeline for his support.[/s]

Now actively assembling prize packages. We are probably about 1 week out from our first run! We have silver and creatures to start, trying to get wp's.

To get the right size for sure, you can use "resize" function in something like photoshop and tell it 100 x 160 pixels, and use limited grayscale color to reduce info content, then save as a GIF file. My problem is using PAINT program, I am making what appears to be transparent - it cuts and pastes transparent - but once uploaded, it is rejected as NOT transparent. I am told we need something like FireWork for this step. I was told to check out this link for free demo trial, but havn't yet -- http://www.learnwebdesignonline.com/ fireworks-tutorials/ export-gif-png.htm. [Edit - link won't copy right, so I broke it up..... copy & paste, rather than click on it.]

Oops, sorry.

1 silver for the young one.

I'll open the bidding at 1 silver each for the Jokers.

3 silver for the joker.

Might be easier to add "sort by ...." features instead.

You should give it to me because I would file a point on the bar of raw iron, and give it to Metal Bunny to chew on. He needs a metal carrot.

I'd love a nutcracker but I'd have to pay in installments over a number of years. p.s. What do you want for those extra shop jokers you mentioned in another post?

Good idea. The more user-friendly the interface, the more players we will hold on to. Growth is good!

Put some more magic in "Magic" Duel! Get those wp's flowing! This is the only way to get and keep a bigger member base. (But not totally retroactively - that would be a jolt to the system -- 1 max per account right off).
