Ravenstrider

It's quite different... If you want GGG type rituals out of the game, go to Mur or Rendril... I believe the 0% vs 0% outcome can be easily changed not to give wins for creatures. I explained the reason for it not being public... You insulted us. I didn't take a screenshot... ( Unfortunately my internet went out shortly after) I'll make sure that I do that in the future. @Indyra: I don't know your definition of private, but yes, that seemed as good a location as any. I don't see why that is an issue... (I can see the Drach cave being an issue, the balcony- not so much)

If it's in a public place, we just come back to mp3s and mp4s using it again, and we face the same issue the old GGG had. Running in circles... Besides, it isn't the "New GGG". It was a private training group that used GGG-type rituals.

The thing is, we didn't have a problem with dst braking our rits, we did have a problem with her calling us rats and what not. And you know, I don't come to MD just for my character to be insulted without reason. (other than trying to do something that wouldn't be bad for the community...) Now, as most of you know, I have a decent collection of creatures, with some tokens and I can make a decent ritual. The reason why I was training was to get some VE/stats, so I don't have to rely on tokens as much... And because I can't train normaly because I have a terible connection which makes heat really hard to keep (that and the fact my briskness is 100 or so...), so I can't really loose xp that fast (without heat and beeing in an ally, which I don't want to leave every 2-3 days)... Just wanted to make this clear... Because part of dst's insulting was based on us "being too stupid and weak to train the normal way". I won't take that kind of talk from anyone. About the Drach cave: I logged in today and I was there... I was like: What the hell? I don't really like the idea of the training grounds being there just because of dst. Or anyone else for that matter...

Besides, the biggest issue with GGG was mp3 and mp4 not learning to fight, not advancing and sprouting beasts like February... I really can't see the problem here. Feeling left out? As Esmeralda stated, we aren't braking any rules... I was mp3 or mp4 when GGG was disbanded, so I didn't read the topic, I don't know what arguments you presented there...

I feel the need to put something on paper, to leave a mark and to clarify Ravenstrider, not just for others, but for myself as well. I am not a writer, so my words will be simple and uncompelling, my auto-portrait blurry and incomplete, but I hope at least, that this imperfect image painted by words will complement my actions and show myself to you. I am who I am... Human, flawed... Simple and complicated at the same time. What drives me? What is my place in this realm? Can I dare say for certain? During my short stay here, I have been called a fool numerous times. I can not deny, I can act in such a way, seeking to amuse myself, to drive away dullness of this existence. Thus I chose it, to be my title, to stand with my name. Besides, the sound of it is not unpleasant to my ears. My sanity is frail and I fear it has been broken already, by this world, or the previous one, I can not tell, for I can not recall much of my previous life. Thus, I started anew, drawn to Necrovion. I became a Necrovion Sentinel. You can now find me at the Howling Gates, crouching on the signpost that stands there, if you can bear the voices... Their screams, their pleas, their curses, their whispers...their horrible whispers. Come, and let's play... For now, I exist. That is all... Maybe my story will receive more chapters, maybe it ends here. Maybe it ended before I even stepped on the dirty roads of this world. I do not know. It might be that I will never find out. And with this small definition of Ravenstrider, I trapped myself. I've given something that was once free rough boundaries. Should I regret it? Probably.

Well, I wasted some credits tonight and I found a couple of interesting avatars. I would be willing to sell this one for coins, if anyone is interested... (Will accept credits, but I wouldn't sell it for less than 10 of those, because that's what the avatar cost me more or less... and that's a bit too much, you must admit ^.^) [attachment=2158:maskedknight.jpg] The reserve price is 1gc, I doubt I'll sell it for less than that. Auction ends on Dec 12th or when I get an offer I'm satisfied with. Edit: Here is a picture where you can see the avy a little better... http://www.dodaj.rs/f/2i/9k/z9bkrxA/screenshot-4.png

[quote name='Malaikat Maut' timestamp='1289397619' post='71828'] The actions of a king or a leader should never be, and are never, observed at face value. The fact that Pample may or may not have been plotting treason is absolutely important. However, the related facts aren't open for discussion and neither will they be determined within this thread. What we can glean from it, however, is a sense of Jester's capacity for diplomacy and his abilities to lead and to unify a nation of people. So, let's look into that shall we?[/quote] For one, i don't see why would you have any concern of how Jester leads his people. You are not a part of Necrovion any more, if I recall correctly. Besides, Necrovion isn't a "nation", it's a heterogeneous group of people, and a small one at that... I would rather call it a court then a nation. [quote name='Malaikat Maut' timestamp='1289397619' post='71828']Right out of the gates something as important as the appointment and inauguration of a king's equal is likened to a rash and hastily conducted experiment. At least he apologizes for it... [/quote] Everything in MD is an experiment. It's the nature of the game. One must try new things in order to try and escape this rut the realm has gotten into. And who are you to say this experiment was rash and hastily conducted? Just because it went south does not mean it was hastily done. [quote name='Malaikat Maut' timestamp='1289397619' post='71828']Well, which is it then? The king's fault for making such a poor decision or Pample's fault for taking advantage? What began as an appropriate admission of failure quickly became a platform for cowardly ad hominem attacks. [/quote] If you try to deduce blame in a situation like this, good luck. Besides, one has to be bitter when someone close to you betrays you. Friendship and all that... You do know what that is? Besides, stating an opinion is just that... I don't believe it was a major attack on Pample's persona. [quote name='Malaikat Maut' timestamp='1289397619' post='71828']Once again, this seems like an excellent opportunity to admit wrong and prove to Necrovion that you've learned from the mistake. Why weren't you controlling your own queen? If you couldn't or weren't willing to lead such a powerful and prominent figure, why should anyone assume you could govern a kingdom? [/quote] Again, why would you need to control your queen if you consider her your friend and close associate? If you are controlling everyone and everything, you become nothing but a sad puppet master, alone, tugging the strings. [quote name='Malaikat Maut' timestamp='1289397619' post='71828']And it concludes with more slander and ad hominem. Nothing of the future. Nothing of repairing damage done or the glory that is yet to belong to such a deserving people. Only embarrassment.[/quote] Actually, this was all a statement about the excommunication. The words were bitter and full of resentment, yes, but easily understood if you put yourself in his shoes. I don't believe Jester has an obligation to state his plans for the future here. I don't see why he should. Again, Necrovion isn't a people, it's small group. It would be different if it was a nation... I'm actually pretty amused by your replies. And by this I mean all of you... It is nice to see your true nature... Nothing but scavengers, waiting for a wrong move. It's pitiful.

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1289339705' post='71785'] Too many big egoes are involved and it seems MD is not big for all of them (well...MD is never big enough for big egoes ) [/quote] One has to wonder how the current amount of people even fits in MD, with the girth of their egos being as it is.

It was before the artisan disbandment, since the artist tag says Magic Duel... Only way to know for sure is to go trough all the avatars one by one and look for similar style...

If that is not copied work, I don't know what is... If five or six different details are just going to mark it "influenced", then I should start copying positions from the internet and just adding my details. The forum post I found was from December the 3d 2009. But I'm guessing the artwork itself is older than that. I'm searching for the original as I'm typing this. Edit: Artwork was originaly done in 2005 by an artist called Jason Chan, as a part of his Sorceres and Unicorn "series". http://www.jasonchanart.com/gallery/2005/unicorn/swordsman_02.jpg

You can be manipulated and still work for your own benefit... These things don't oppose each other, last I checked. Besides, what's done is done. I don't see the point in chewing over it now, almost a week after... not here at least.

I think I'll just go on believing that Mur is just an acronym for Manu Under Reconstruction. You shattered my dreams. You... you... :'( Just joking... This is more insight into your personality than I would feel comfortable sharing with strangers, then again whole MD probably is... And gives a clearer picture to some parts of the "MD mystery", so I guess a "thank you", and a "you ruined it for me" are in order after all. Edit: Oh, and I hate you... Your post made me think about some stuff, and I like my brain as inactive as possible.

[quote name='Asterdai' timestamp='1289072155' post='71598'] sure you can i like the fact you said that i am being honest with you all and not "hiding" my prices If those that hold a lot of items put prices on them, even if they are character related a lot more things would be sold even at high prices, you know this [/quote] There is also supply/demand, common sense, etc. May I remind you that an item crafting costs material + a wishpoint, and that trivial items go for 1gc just because they are rare. So an item would be a lot harder to obtain then an avatar, which you can ask an artist in md to do by your specifications for a lot less than 5gc, for example... And these avatars, except for the dragon (and maybe the fairy) aren't actually all that good. No offense to the artists.

The prices are way over the top, Asterdai. I'd say 30-40% of your current prices is what you should aim for.

I was bored last night, so I got to drawing, and I drew this: [attachment=2123:clocky.jpg] Then I got to thinking it would be a nice idea to make a comic strip with MD characters, and I wrote something down... Not all that funny, but, meh... In the Forest of Loreroot, King Firsanthalas is doing what he does best, baking muffins. Mya Celestia enters with Clockmaster, Loreroots newest citizen applicant. Mya: Firs, this man here would like to join our ranks. Firs (still busy with making muffins): Is he an elf? *mutters to himself* Yes, a bit more water... Now it's perfect. Mya: No, actually... Firs: Fine, fine, he's in. *thinks* Hah! Let them see that the rumours that I'm a racist aren't true. Mya: *whispers* But, sir... Firs: Leave me be. Clocky: Sir, what shall be my duty? Firs, still concentrated on making the muffins: How would I know, go tend to some trees or something. *Mya slaps her forhead* Next scene, we see Clocky and a totaly deforested Loreroot, with logs all around, scratching his head with his chainsaw. Clocky: Now what?! At PoL. It's another morning (well, "morning") at the PoL. After a drunken night, Z wakes up for his duty. *Z yawns and scratches his head.* *Z approaches Bob, unzips his pants and does his thing.* Bob *thinks* Not again! At PoL. Z is sleeping. Adiomino comes to Bob, lifts his leg and does what dogs do. Bob *thinks* That's it, I'm moving to Loreroot. Bob has moved to Loreroot. Clockmaster goes by. Clockmaster goes back. Clocky: I must have missed this one. Clocky cuts down Bob. Anyway, if anyone would be interested doing something like this, let me know... P.S. I hope that I didn't offend anyone with this...

It's 4% of your max stats for those stats that you would receive on that page of the story. It doesn't apply to VE/VP, those are arbitrary I think... Also, bonuses such as ally bonus, armor bonus do not count... It's your base stats... Also the principle choice/choice in the story partly gives a +- value of stats I think. Edit: Wasn't there another topic like this one just days ago?

A quick one. [attachment=2112:Jesen.jpg] A bit more abstract: [attachment=2113:Autumnus.jpg] Edit: And a third one... I was bored... Md style [attachment=2122:Autumn.jpg]

I sat in the grass. as wind blowed where the gates howl. The shadow rises.

[quote name='dragonrider7' timestamp='1287590494' post='70681'] Rusty - 1 Gold [/quote] Please be serious or don't bid at all. Thank you. And besides, as I stated in my first post, I won't sell the rusty for coin... Only as a part of a trade pack for a GG or a shade.

[quote name='Throm McLeod' timestamp='1287578372' post='70674'] well because will be the 1st bid, i think will not hurt: joker>> my joker with [blackdiamonds]+5sc pimped grasan>> 5sc [/quote] Oh, a note, I'm not looking for any colored creatures, since I'm "going black and white". I should probably add that to my first post...

Well, the name of the topic says it all... [s] BP........... [claw II] [clawIII] [emeraldglare] [osirisbelt] [stardust] Age: 124 [/s] Sold BP, fresh, no tokens. [s]Rusty......... no tokens Age 48[/s] Sold.

[kelethafire] [emeraldglare] [firedrop] [goldbelt] [stardust] age: 125 Current bid: 5sc [/s] Pimped.......... no tokens Age 47 [s]Also I can add some coin and maybe some non-colored crits with decent tokens.[/s] [s]Primarly I am looking for a Shade or a GG drach...[/s] I will trade [b]the less valuable ones[/b] for coin or non colored creatures. I will not trade any for colored creatures, since I am not going to use anything colored from now on.

Tried that BFH, with no results. The player was visible on the Design page in Chrome (though the html tab was inaccessible there as well) and I was able to delete it, which solved the problem...

Why the hell is almost everyone doing something animal related? We could make a study out of it: Do people who love animals tend to be in the group that plays ORPGs? I'm bored... I didn't find a donkey to abuse...

Yes, so many changes happen within a week... The only perfection is the one that exists in imperfection. Foolish are the ones that in their arrogance think that their vision of the world is in fact ideal or perfect.

Well, since my lifelong donkey MD search has not yet given any results, I might go out and find a real donkey, and then... Well, I wouldn't want to comment on what would happen after I found one...
