I can assure you with 100% certainty that the symbol does not in any way refer to modern day Israel. If you ever get into trouble about it tell them it's a reference to Solomon (Sulaiman) one of the prophets of God (Allah). Therefore it's not an Israeli symbol, but it is a Jewish, Christian and Islamic symbol. Also if I understood things right the entire symbol is a symbol for the Islamic version of Solomon (yes there are differences), but I'm not completely certain about that.

My condolence to you

I would love it if high viscosity would makke the map blurry, when visc is below 0 everything shows normal, but when visc gets higher the map will get vague and when visc hits +40 there will only be one big grey spot left. This would be a lot more complicated to make then just black dots or green lines though. But I would prefer it if at least no color would be added.

Happy birthday!

@Tipu Mur said there are 8+1 points, so it has a 9th point. The wings and the circle represent the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winged_sun"]winged sun[/url]. It represents Horus or Ra and divinity, royalty and power. The winged sun also symbolises the eternal soul. The snakes represent the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uraeus"]Uraeus[/url] which often flank the disk and represent sovereignty, royalty, deity, and divine authority. Only rather than protect the sun disc they look like they would be fighting each other if they weren't tied together by their tails. Therefore it could possibly be seen as a symbol that prevents a divine war. An other reason the snakes are tied together is probably to prevent them from completely closing of the sun. They block away the mayor part of the center but there still is an opening on the top which allows you to enter, if only you dare to face the snakes. [img]http://www.egyptartsite.com/images/wing.GIF[/img] [size="1"]The winged sun [/size]For some reason to me the bottom seems to be a lot better protected then the top, mostly because the MT symbol mainly points down. The top point looks to me like a seed, and symbolises the origin of the east.

[color="#CCCCCC"]Ann. 695 - [2009-02-25 22:45:01 - Alpha 8][/color] Two new items added in the MD Shop, both for increasing skills permanently by 2%. These new items also give you one silver coin each. The silver coins are similar to the items distributed until now (around 140) and will be used within same interface as them. Because of the large number of "coin items" that will appear in the realm from people buying these two new boosters, they will be a good trading currency. No additional support or automated pricing will be added in the feature. The trading of items is up to each one of you, the coins are just an additional "reason", feel free to use it any way you can think of, from quest rewards to markets. The original announcement regarding coins says there were around 140 items in the world when they were first introduced, so the oldest coin should have an ID around 140. This coin could of course have gone lost through the years.

Coins didn't get imprinted with a land until about half a year ago, so the coin won't be imprinted with the land it was originally given to, but with the land of the owner at the moment it was first given away after they became different for each land.

happy birthday I'm not completely sure how big the impact of tiramisu is on the global warming in MD, but you can't know for sure

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

At the moment viscosity increases way to fast in the remote areas, and is constantly at -40 in the more crowded areas. Perhaps rather than dividing the world in places with faster and places with slower growing viscosity it would be better to make viscosity increase faster when its lower and increase slower when it's high.

It was never supposed to be easy to keep viscosity in the entire realm at -40. In some places the viscosity will raise, otherwise there would be no use for it.

happy birthday!

A problem with showing viscosity in the labyrinth is that it might make finding your way through easy. All you have to do is follow the road with the lowest viscosity.

What about making the heat cost depend on your briskness? Make it cost for example half your briskness with a minimum of 200 heat per ap.

happy birthday!

I love the Idea, and would love to support it in any way possible. Sadly I won't be able to join you for a while due to limited internet.

Are you still taking new bets? If so I would like to bet 2 sc on eon.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

You also can't see or post PLs when you're unconfirmed. Don't know if there are any other differences.
