Oh, Bob, your leaves. Oh, your leaves. Your imaginary leaves. And your twigs Oh, your twigs. Your scrawny twigs. I want to feel your bark On my skin Oh, on my skin Oh, Bob. Oh, Bob...

Two question: How many people besides the writers and the people who are involved attend Story Night? Why haven't you listed any of your ideas? "I do not know how to fix this. I don't know if recruiting members will fix it, or if volunteer work will do it, but something needs to be done. Please give a list of ideas or thoughts of what you can do to help." This sounds like a plea for people to feed you ideas.

I believe you got your job of Mur's secretary because you were asking for things to do. If you care, try things... Don't go to the community without thinking about the solution to the problem and just expecting us to hand you the secret to revitalising YOUR land. Try it yourself first. New ideas, realisation of projects usually need new members, since as far as I can see it, you, the old ones can't handle the situation. New members come from the pool of new players. New players comming to MD is largely the result of advertising. Ergo, you're a hypocrite to complain on that matter. Edit: The Artisan Guild has been disbanded and their job is now mostly done by an automated system. I don't see them being revived, unless there is a flow of new artists... I doubt any who do avys today can compare to the work Glor and the crew did back in the day.

As you know, the situation is same in all of the lands. Do you think Necrovion has any more active members? Or GG? Or any other land... Fixing it easy... Recruit people, divide labour, do something useful, come up with new ideas for game features tied to the archivists roles then bug the council to give you the tools to make it happen. How long has it been since the bookshelves in MDA have had a new addition to them? I find it funny how you object to Seighearts proposal to give the funds from the Artisans to Advertisers and then complain that there isn't enough people to do the Archives jobs...

A new one... [attachment=2549:cloak.png]

I'd recommend looking into dark energy... That's what the words remind me of... That and the darkness principle in MD...

I'll help out... I'm just curious towards what the questions are...

Well I'm afraid I couldn't find it in classical music... Maybe Bach's Prelude from Cello Suit 1... That one always makes me feel time flowing and I can almost feel the taste and shape of the music... (I never listened to classical music too much and I really don't know too much of it x.x) There is a few modern songs that do it for me... Maybe Robbert Johnson... (another devil pact guy lol) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJeoYnmqbw&feature=related This one made me the closest to synesthesia I've ever been... Edit: No post can pass without some local patriotism: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiBCeonLEQs This one makes me feel the grinding of nails on soft flesh... Music causes feelings and intuitive understanding which our mind then translates into something tangible which, depending on the music(subjective synesthetic effect of it? ) can cause the tangible thing almost as complex as the emotions... In your case a four dimensional shape... On more than one occasion I had a strong musical piece making me move without me realizing it... I know that this will be censored, but the way you're body moves or arranges itself during love-making... An instinctive drive older than our species. It's hard to explain... It's not connected to the topic, but says a lot about the power of music.

Hey, I don't consider myself a new mp5, I learned to deal with it a long time ago... (I was in an ally for most of my mp4 life) Honestly, I don't know what the problem is- the sparring grounds, the players, lack of farm animals... who knows... Maybe finding a 50-60 days old mp5 and asking them for their opinion? Same goes for mp3 and mp4... I'm just relaying what I usually hear from people that quit MD...(Talked to at least four or five who gave this answer)... The thing that causes most frustration I think is the winning mentality we all have drilled into our brains... Win, take, win, more, more, take, take, win, win, win... Anyway, I suggest that all of you make an mp3 account and get it to mp5, isolated from your main, from people you know and see how it is... I've been recently been doing some fighting with an alt on mp4 and the first thought I had when I got out of story mode was: Hey, I don't remember that fighting was this hard... Yes, the alt has no shop creatures and I haven't done any of the training with a plan, but still... I have no idea what I was trying to say in this post, but anyway, my opinion still stands, limiting the levels isn't going to do much good... Those who know the system will use it no matter the limits... And new players may suffer more than they do now... If they do... I mean, you say they get pounded by god accounts but that's not entirely true... I don't believe that the monsters on mp3/mp4 violate the SG rules... And I don't believe you can meet them that often in the open... But I might be deluded.

But one thing is different: No protection on mp5... And most can't handle it... That's what's different... And, no, I don't believe it's a joke, it's just that people get used to one form of training and then, pow, mp5 and it's a different story... And they go: Oh, darn... I'm not protected any more... About stats... You can gain them much faster with tokens... ^.^ A fully tokened rusty with 1k wins gives A LOT of stats...

I believe the system is fine as it is and that this isn't a very good idea for multiple reasons. If someone wants a strong alt, they will make it... Why? Superior knowledge... If one can afford himself a drachorn on an alt, why not a fully tokened pimpy? It's not that hard to almost max your principles on let's say mp4 and not reach the cap... God bless the park protection... Should we limit the level on grassans as well? But they only have three and it's not that hard to reach the max level on mp3... for anyone, not just alts... You won't solve anything with this... It could only make things worse. And ask yourselves this: Are those that quit because it's too hard to win against people really what we want in MD? Diversifying I'd support... Limiting... Not as much... Note: I was struggling with combat both on mp3 and mp4 and I haven't really learned to make rits until mp5... I'm still not really all that good, but I've acquired some creatures and I'm swimming in the stormy cold waters of mp5... I knew a few people that quit MD and the reason was always: I can't beat anyone on mp5, I'm too weak... and a few who left because of only having contact with new mp3/mp4 people and not liking some of the god modding and unrealistic rp... Instead of forcing people to mp5, maybe we should try and prepare them for it? How? Beats me... But I would try to help the best way I could.

Get a scanner! I think you could do some really good work... If you can't get one, try to find some place that has one or a friend or something... And yes... More shading... I realised that shading can give life to a drawing... I can't do it though... Try... You might be able to...

I'll say what I would have said to an incognito character... Nice... But I wouldn't make it a career... For some reason reminds me of something my grandmother would hang in her living room... Might be the color... I had a rant about unused talent but I realized it had too much self-glorification in it, so I didn't do it... I'll fade to awkward silence now.

3gc 7sc Offtopic: Asterdai, I was joking... Thus the smiley... Relax man...

How did I miss this one... I'm Bob!

I knew how to cast the spell and what it does from day 10 I think (Bunny's festival)... Never bothered to read the consequences and marked it "when needed" in my head. Used it two or three times on flooders, and that's about it... I will endure any punishment gladly if dst does the same. I do jail time, dst does same amount of jail time. One mention of leniency towards veterans and I'll complain. I don't really care about all of this... We were having fun, dst reacted without taste... I reacted by doing the same. Rhaegar wants to file a complaint, fine with me. As a LHO one should be more aware of the consequences then the average Joe... I don't think the attitude dst has is suitable for the job... The LHOs think differently... Fine... It's a different topic entirely... Offtopic, on LHOs- I've seen LHOs that help too much and risk creating "the idiot player" and I've seen LHOs who don't help at all and just defeat their purpose... Dst is the latter... As I've said multiple times I give respect where respect is due. I don't respect dst as a LHO...It's a job and she does it badly. Besides, what in Mur's name does being a LHO have with using the silence spell... I don't see moderation in their job description... Or is this another one of those social status things? I play a character that is not likeable... I do it on purpose... I go around making bad jokes and mocking people whenever I can... That's a part of my irl personality, but not all of it, sadly... There's the good guy part as well... I don't want Ravenstrider to be social or be friends with everyone... and I don't want to be friends with people that Ravenstrider isn't friends with because it would certainly ruin my rp experience... (I've had one fight more than plenty in various RP games to know that it's a bad thing) Which brings me to the knife whenever I face the community more or less... At least my theory... But I've gone way offtopic now... Just wanted to make some stuff clear. So swing the axe or get a miniature gillotine, or whatever... I don't care... Btw, would be nice if you wouldn't discuss me while I'm not here... or at least tell me I'm on a trial before you pass the sentence. Thank you. So, did I clear up everything? I'll answer any other question, if anyone has one.

Asterdai, learn the merchant trade and stop asking questions! 3gc! Dude, that's some mighty big letters you got there... lmao.
