Death in and of itself is not bad and banning death from MD would be one of the worse things one could do. Death gives meaning to life, it urges one to be careful, yet also to strive forward as one day that will no longer be possible. Furthermore death brings people closer together.Basically you won't realize what you have until you lose it and if there isn't even the risk of losing it, it is completely meaningless.

But that's all about the concept death, the way death works in MD at the moment it's little more than an over powered spell. A combination of Lock in Chaos and a repaired Attack Lock that doesn't end automatically, but only after someone ends it.

Death isn't bad, only the way it works seems to be wrong. You can try making revival easier, but as long as death is the way it is it will solve little and breaks things further. As to how it should work, I have a few ideas, but want to do some work them out some more before posting them.

Since it seems popular, I agree with samon also.

The quote in Seigh's post leads me to believe he didn't see the email and that it was known to be the case. Perhaps a bit more civility could have been used here... its not that hard to contact someone to be honest, ingame PM would be the best option. I know fang reads the ones I send him.

Sure it may have been a while but were more efforts made to contact him before surprising him with this?

I see the fact that none of the items were used or transferred in any way to be good for fangs case.

Perhaps fang could have been more responsible with getting the items to where they needed to be (although keep in mind he has been killed twice lately), but at the same time wasn't the irresponsibility what he was jailed for the week for?

[b]Christmas Pardon[/b]
Fang has posted on the forum stating his reasons for keeping all of the items, and while he should have returned them we have decided that it is much nicer this time of year to pardon him.
His jail sentence is revoked as of now.
We shall be contacting him to see if he wants to do some form of "community work" as repayment for what he did, helping out here and there but this not compulsory.
Merry Christmas!

Right.

Edit: no sarcasm either. Im dumb, but even im not THAT dumb.

Thirding samon's post, mostly because I accidentally downranked it and want to give it more weight. The timing is bad and the justice is rash.

(The announcement wording is deceptive about the nature of the error and) we all know that on MD as in life the negatives are best kept private to minimize resonance, unless someone does something truly horrible.

I see the soulweaver situation as ambiguous enough to not be a reason to publicly damn Fang. I still carry a silver coin from the treasury in my inventory that was destined for a winner of Maebius Madness #3. It was there at the time our keys were stripped. I have been instructed by TK to deliver it to a fairly inactive player -- at the first opportunity, which may not be for a while. Fang's situation may be similar. (I haven't asked.)

(edited due to bizarre grammatical choices)

If this is your "community service" I find it is a poor attempt.

I cant even see the won/lost fight ratio in mp7 >>

But if i need to, i can get a few wins? at least even out, find Perpetual Balance.

But id need someone willing to let me beat on them day and night o.o;
[/quote]

So basically your whole mp7 is a big bs because in order to help others you first need to be helped yourself. And also any player can do what you're trying to do so I don't really see how you're being helpful.

Hmmm... I would finish some of the amazing features MD has/had, but aren't implemented properly yet: clues, spell docs, principles, AL, land loyalty (loyalty, not score), balancing fighting/stats (anyone can beat anyone), add a bunch of cauldron recipes, balance viscosity, new MP6, next chapter for the story, new start, bring back Torch competition (perhaps combined with LL?), significance of dead... and many more lost treasures of MD. Sounds like a lot? Yeah, so many things seemingly forgotten, but I'll into a bit more detail to work out the possibly most important part of it.

Inner Magic:
The idea is fairly simple. First we will need a number of extra clues. By unlocking a number of these clues you will be able to obtain spell docs. This is where things get interesting. Using a cauldron like system, taking principles and/or resources instead of just resources, we will be able to make rituals to actually cast these inner magic spells.

This fairly simple (at least coding wise, as most things already exist, the actual writing of the clues and rituals is a lot more work) change should be able to bring back the spark of magic and bring back life to the clues, spell docs and principles, and expands a little on the cauldron.

First of all, Merry Christmas council/bugs... You really know how to time things...

Anyway, anyone bothered sending Fang a reminder before jailing him? It sounds like a big part of the problem here is miscommunication. Even Fang wouldn't be stupid enough to think he would be able to get away with holding back such massive amounts, right?

Hm.... feel the need to reply here, and second Samon.
This is an odd one.

On one hand, christmas Eve jailings seem a bit petty. Particularly if the explanation of holding stones for BMMORPG is valid, since I do know there were issues with the trade codes of them before when TK leadership shifted, it broke before when a TK traded out of treasuries, etc...and Fang did not have direct access to a Treasury while being Dead. Samons idea of "Reminder pls?", even if sent via those fancy in-game PMs from ourselves (Postman, Santa, God-accnt?, etc).
I'll have to do some more in-depth searching but probably can find forum-posts to support that argument as it sounds like something I'd read before a month or two ago.

On the other hand, I'm guessing "Hey, I demand you do this nao!" is probably not the best way to phrase your defense arguments...
(I'd write it off as well-understood frustration to waking up to such an announcement at this time of year, just when "the fun stuff" was going on, though.)

What's done is done, but I wanted to share my perspective, as an outside observer.
Jailing is perhaps needed for the crime. I only question the timing, and if the situation could be re-worked to teach a lesson about leading groups and being email-smarter, which seems to be a sticking point to communications with Fang. MD teaches us many things. Sometimes harshly, sometimes not, but there are usually ways to lessen the sting of lessons, and still make them stick.

I think more may come to light. Depending on Fang's actual guilt level, he may not be happy with the above.

[quote][color=#000000]The email i sent to you was while you were the TK leader, i also have a number of other outstanding questions which i guess don't matter any more, but to quote an email i received from you "im not very good with keeping track of emails i think i have replied to everything"[/quote][/color]

[color=#000000][bugs][/color]

Im sure by now youve all seen the newest ton of fun the Council has thrown my way, and i would like to make something CRYSTAL clear.

I did not move the stones or even try to because if i do, then all of the Codes i gave BFH will go invalid, and thus out of sheer LOGIC, i left the stones where they were. Count them. Ten of each. UNTOUCHED. I have not tampered, used, meddled, or changed the stones in ANY way.

As for the Soulweaver. Both Soulweavers are mine, and i DEMAND it back. I bought my first Soulweaver a while ago, and the SECOND, was a gift from a FRIEND.

Now then. I dont blame the ignorant Council at all for not knowing how the stones and all that other junk work. All i ask, is that my Soulweaver is returned to me ASAP, my Jailing gets lifted, and the stones, i dont give two cents about the stones, if the Council wants to break BMMORPG for a third time, i say let them.

I didnt mind when they took 3 creatures last time, and jailed me for a week. I made foolish decisions, and i deserved what i got. This however, is unjust, ignorant, and down right ridiculous.

So ill only say this one more time Council. Give me back my Soulweaver, and free me from jail, or im going straight over your heads and this WILL get ugly.

Edit: oh, i forgot to mention the notes. No, i wasnt stealing them. Prior to all the bs that happened while i was leaving the TKs, i was buying back all the notes and trying to get them into one place so i could take inventory of them. Seriously. Its not that complicated of a situation.

Fang, you would stick with the Caretakers for life if you joined them? THAT I'd like to see!
