Kaffuka, are you upset with the way I and few others use the word "fair"? It was really NOT my intention to upset anyone with that word, but I am a little upset with the use of the word "abuse". Don't you think that the word "abuse" could be so vague as "fair", if we compare "use" and "abuse"? I alread give up of my initial suggestion when I write "...But, if it's not really because of just one or few persons and there is a statistic about the issue, then I sorry for my argument." I am sure you can find a way to use the Sorites' paradox with the words "use" and "abuse" better than I. The Sorites' paradox is interesting, but "fight" because of one word tired me. There is no point in use anything against you or any other, then I hope that this could be my last post about this topic, if it's ok with you.

Just a few points: 1) When was set that sacrifice an angien egg give 4k of vitality everone know how people will use it. Stop pretend that you're such naive that don't know that, you know that people would do since from begin. We are no criminals for act like a normal, egotistical humam beings. It shouldn't be this way from the begging, then don't blame us. And no, I won't thank february. I don't hate him, but I won't thank him either. 2) If a creature can't give VE just with age, then maybe something should be done with the bird egg that give Value Points without XP or wins. 3) "If you were farming ve, then you are complaining that others farmed it more and thats not fair." Maybe, it's not what a saint should do. But, if someone more stronght than you hit you in real life. It's not fair to learn martial arts to hit him harder, when nobody do ANYTHING against the bulling? Maybe it's not virtuous, but YES, it's very fair. 4) I agree that there isn't such thing as "fair for everbody", but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to be more close to it.

"Anyways, What you are asking for is some more time to abuse something that is getting removed/changed so its less abusable. Isnt that a VERY stupid question?" Actually I was not creative with this suggestion. Stupid or not, some real life laws of my country have what I called time transition. But, if it's not really because of just one or few persons and there is a statistic about the issue, then I sorry for my argument.

I will not question the new rule about not sacrifice angien egg for VE. I just want to make a suggestion. Maybe, there should be a time for transition between make an announcement of the new rule and really apply it. It's not something hard or very subjective to make, in my opinion, and it is much more fair. For exemple, in the case of the new announcement, the player know as february abuse the old rule of sac angiens eggs to have high vitality and become a "God Account". But, many other players (far away from being so powerfull) spend credits to buy extra creatures slots. Ok, extra creatures slots is also very usefull to have more than one or two fight army, but some of them would never spend credits with it if not to sacrifice angiens eggs. The plans of many are frusteted because the abuse of just one account. In this case, maybe there should have the announcement of the new change, but only apply it after 59 days. So, people cannot pick up angiens eggs to sacrifice today (they know it will be useless, because the new rule start with 59 days) and many others can finished their plans to get VE. What you all think about it?

There are a big difference between live a life with "purpose" and live with "valor". Few people live with both purpose and valor, but it's not true for most. Live one life with valor is live with comfort, happiness. Live with purpose is have a "bigger than life" goal, is leave your mark on world. Someone who always have a lot of fun, but don't have any achievements, don't develop his skills more than he just need to survive and do a job just to survive or have more fun, comfort; live one life with valor, but without purpose. Someone who save lifes, discovery something that will help all humanit or do great things in anyway, but is myserable, unhappy; live one life with purpose, but without valor. But it's possible to live with both purpose and valor, it's what Socrates call "life of analyzes" where you developed the reason and that reason have a purpose and content you at the same time. For him, it was not the best life, but the only life possible. Maybe, we fell lost when we don't balance these both aspects.

The trade was alread done. I ask to close this topic.

I want to buy a cheap TS. I don't care for age or tokens, the cheapier the better. It's good post age or tokens (if any), but remember that I prefer the cheapier. I can pay with some silver coins or/and offer an IMP or an angien with some age. I will not buy any if I don't like the price of the cheapier.

[quote name='Darigan' timestamp='1282746914' post='67025'] define geek style [/quote] Ok, geek style is one kind of style that you only enjoy if you also like to study, specially if you enjoy the standard school disciplines, like math, poetry and others.

I didn't participated in many quests, I know. But, I miss some kind of quests that were done not so long ago. I don't want to be rude and I sorry if I look like that. But, I want to ask, it's only me or you fell that the MD quests in general (not all) are ever time more and more geek style. If you think so or not tell why. It's is good or bad?

I have just 2 creatures with tokens, yet. But in my opinion stop all tokens effects of all enemy creatures is VERY powerfull and unfair with the people who spend credits with it. By another hand, stop all tokens effects of just one creature is VERY useless. Maybe, you should keep your ideai with multiple targets, in low level dispel magic effect (dispel freeze, protect etc) or dispel token effect, in maximum level dispel both effects, but always with multiple targets.

The Unholy Priest alread add some gambling to fight, but it's too little compared to the Trickster. Personally, I would use the creature just to fight a much more stronght army, that will defeat me for sure without gambling. And I "fell" that this type of abilit look like more a necrovion abilit. But, I think it's a great ideia. There should be at least an non-public creature with this kind of abilit.

People who spend money on tokens won't like the ideia to put curse in tokens and it's very fair in my opinion. But the curse could be set as new spell or new creature abilit.

"It is my understanding that the guilds will be, in a way, hierarchical." Ok, but why someone would like to be in the base of hierarch? Why not everbody want to be in the guild that is in the very Top of hierarch? All the ideias are very good, but maybe set a real hierarch could be an issue. "It could be interesting if resources could be exchanged based on the battle system. A person holding 100 Wood gets attacked, 6000 VE out of 10000 VE is lost in the battle by the defender, 60 Wood goes to the attacker. Or something like that." It's not good to actually exchange, but it would be great to actually steal resources and set "villans", "Bad Boy" roles.

"if you attack one of the bots and win against them you will not see them again (i dont know how this affects player controlled bots like Ark)" Well, I attacked some mp2 at GG, some of them disappear, but I saw some of them again and attacked again. I sure it was the same that I attacked before because I wrote on their logs. It's a bug?

I hope it's the right place to start this kind of topic. The issue is that there is a lot of veterans talking about what scare the newbies, but few (if any) newbies talk about that. By another hand, maybe it's normal newbies give up the game before even read something in the forum. Again, it's just a theory. I don't want to offend the vets, but if a newbie want to give up the MD he/she opinion is better than an MP5 theory. Of course, if a newbie don't understand the game mechanism, he/she could talk about foolish things (probabily it will happen a lot). But, even in this case, we will have the chance to learn how to teach them. Please, avoid sarcams. It's ok, in my opinion, attack without mercy someone ideias (the ideias change), but not the person himself. If just one or two newbies write anything on this topic it's enought for me.

It look like that nobody could have a stronght account nowdays without been accused of scare the new players. I fight with Wolfs sometimes and I never saw any powerfull creature in his army. He told me that he don't have any creature in maximum level. Today, I have 8 creatures in maximum level and once I sacrifice 3 max. aramors. It's not a big deal, of course, the point is that I am only few days older than Wolfs in game. Nevertheless, I decided to don't participated in Head Contest this time. I think Wolfs made a big mistake trying to win the HC, even if he only want the 3 place. HC is not for everone and I think this should be post as a tip in game (the game have only few tips, by the way). "I have seen Wolfs to be a pretty new character to MD and I think he does not know a lot of technices to gather, gain or trade heads, maybe this is why he might think this is cheating. You have to imagine, Z is a veteran player but not everbody does know him and noobs of course can´t. So it is ok from my point of view to say he is cheating if you might think so, but you have to show some evidences..." I agree and, because of that, we can't say that he is "bad", "evil" or something of this kind.

"losing exp on creatures only effects you if you are trying to be the "best" in mp3/4 which is something uttery stupid considering mp3/4 is a learning stage, that you are not meant to stay at." If mp3 and mp4 are not mean to stay, why there is in Wish Shop "Lower XP to zero Useful to allow you to get more xp and avoid the xp cap. Doing that you will be able to gain more XP and upgrade more of your creatures and stats. You can request this only 2 times."?? Ok, you can't use forever, but if you use 2 times you can have 3 times the normal XP to your MindPower. If it is just a learning stage that you should not stay long, then it is logical and sane that you don't put anything that officially, protected by the rules, help you stay for a long time. And, of course, who have wish point work hard and should have the reward, but there is other things to buy in Shop. I don't want to upset anyone. But if something is wrong, I need to understand why, just say that it is wrong or that need to tell a spoiler to explain is not enought.

Well, before start anything sorry if you think that I should read something before and I didn't. Maybe I am not so new in this game to speak about the newbies, but I don't think that lose a lot is a problem (maybe it's just because many people really belive that they should keep the fighting balance at any cost). And I never saw a very powerfull player attack everone at the SG, idle or not. What should really upset the newbies is "get" a lot of NEGATIVE xp and have much more xp in one creature than they need to upgrade to the maximum level. I don't know what should be done, but many people is abusing (in my opinion) rituals that leave the loser with negative xp and it's an issue in mp3 and mp4.
