Curiose

: p Happeh birfday, ya old man. > > <3

... But the Gazebo was in its place, and now the little men are back! It's a conspiracy, I tells ya! A CONSPIRACY.

Christmas tree is up! But... it was down. Why is it up!? WHY HAS MD GONE BACK IN TIME?! Okay, but seriously. Oo Why... is that tree back up?

Please remember to do the following: 1. PM me, Awiiya, or Keith Moon your stories so that we can have them for judging, and in case you cannot make it for the displayed time. : D 2. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. 3. Any story is acceptable, just so long as it's not incredibly long. If it is an ongoing story, stop it at a spot that would still make sense when continuing. If you need a recap for your readers, please attach that with your stories. Again, in case you cannot make it. -If you could not send in your story before SN, but were able to Attend, PM me your story during the event and you will still be eligible. 4. Please show courtesy and respect to those sharing their stories. While some may not be the best in the land, we expect that our judges will do the job for critiquing, and not that of people who are listening. 5. Please -Do Not- forget that you get prizes for this! Based on how well your piece is written, you can get some very nice rewards, the highest being a WP [And yes, it is possible, we have had some VERY close to getting one], among others. We hope for the writer to learn from this, and take the feedback given to help become better writers. -Feedback and Rewards will be posted for you, and we will try our best to keep up with putting the stories on the Archive's page. Also keep in mind that there is only a few of us who can chase after you, and.. depending on the day, a lot of you. We cannot be chasing after you for your rewards. Please refer to the Notice thread [http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/7853-story-night-returns-again/page__st__20__gopid__76717#entry76717] for further information regarding such things. I... think that is it. Remember, have fun, and get excited. : D

[center][b]Next Story Night[/b] Date: January 22nd (Day 21;) Place: Awiiya's Way [Right past the MDA gate] 1st Time: 5:00 Server time [for people in the US, I am not sure of anyone else, it will be a friday] 2nd Time: 20:00 Server Time [This day will be a friday/saturday depending on time zone] Host: Keith Moon and Awiiya[/center] We've moved our location to Accomodate for Awiiya, for he cannot move. If you have any questions [especially about time, it is quite confusing...], or need directions, please contact: Keith Moon, myself or Awiiya.

Thank you. I still have Awiiya left to reward, for I have not rewarded 25 others after him, so I will ask that Keith do it in my stead.

Happy Birthday you cute boy, you. : D

You're welcome. I didn't want this to be a big hassle, and I apologize that it has been blown up like it has.

Allow me to make myself a bit clearer. These people have helped me to organize story night, and I had thought to reward them, via christmas gift for a show of my appreciation and for doing what they have done. I was not expecting it to be a turn out so large, which is where Mur comes in. Yes, he did give me the O.K to do so, and stated: Give a wishpoint to those who did more. I.e. those who did more than the ordinary judging.

I know. I wasn't really trying to give any approval.

Then go ahead and do so.

Allow me to restate myself: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8576-will-work-for/page__pid__74464#entry74464 THEY WERE CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR HARD WORK. It has already been validated. And if this is how people are going to behave, then I might as well toss Story Night to the shitter then, eh? Is that what the people want, just because the people that help with it get rewarded ONCE a year? Edit: Mur knows fully well what they did for it, and I stated what they did. I thought the reason would be more valid than simply stating: Christmas Gift. No one knew about it except for Mur and a few others. It was supposed to be a surprise, and no , I was not expecting Wishpoints in the end result.

Positions are closed. I have one extra Host and that's all we need. Everything is settled. It was a Christmas gift and a reward for their help.

No, you won't. No one gets a Wp for sponsoring Story Night.

Sponsors are always welcome, please and thank you. Credits are needed, and.. I am not entirely sure about creatures as of now. Edit: If there is an expiration date on your sponsorship prize, please let me know. ex: You want to sponsor.. say a Pimped Grasan, and it is to be used for X Story Night, however no one scored high enough for the Grasan, or they scored too high, and basically, it was not given away. Then, you would keep your Pimped Grasan, and your sponsorship of said creature has expired, unless you want to have it held indefinitely. If anyone has a preference for their creatures [such as them keeping the CTC until necessary or any other preferences] please let me know also.

Bump: There will be a few minor changes in location of Story Night which are in the process of being discussed, so please keep your eye out for the change in location. If there are any questions regarding it, if there is a change, please feel free to PM me. As for the absence of Story Night: We have been making a few changes and making up for a few losses and such, including waiting for the holidays to go by. I am planning on having a Story Night some time in January, more towards the end so you guys will be prepared. So get your brains working, and write a story, people! : D Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Bwahahahaha, Here are mine. 1. Make Story Night even MORE badass [and to finish working out kinks. ee;] 2. Do a wee bit more quests 3. Organize more events for the community. 4. Get my Alliance back where it belongs on the scale.

You could do what I did with my Avy. I took an ordinary, every day picture of my drawing, and photoshop was used to make it transparent, and acceptable for use. I did have help with the photoshop bit from friends, though, so you may want to ask around. It was still hand drawn, but it was turned electronic, and MD acceptable just by taking a digital photo of it.

[center][size="4"]Attention Unachieved Simple Wishes Winners:[/size][/center] You have until [b]The End of the Year*[/b] to state which Wish you thought convinced Mur to give you the Wishpoint. If you do not do this, you will no longer be eligible for the Reindrach. Simply C/p the wish in a response to the forum-- NO PMs, please. This was written on behalf of Mur. *To be clear, Mur has stated that he would like this to end by the 3rd of January.

Welcome. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like if you have any.

I thought so too? But there was a mix up in dates, supposedly. Like I said, if you need to set up a date after the first, let me know and I will set it up with Awii.

It seems there was a misinterpretation on the time stamp. If you want to be considered for the judging of you piece, and to be eligible for the Pensword, YOU HAVE TO read your story to Awii before January 1st, 2011. If this has caused any trouble for any of you, please contact myself or Awii to set up a date of which would be best for you to read to him. THIS IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT MAKE THE DEADLINE. We cannot be held responsible for laziness, or forgetfulness. Thank you. Edit: My apologies on the sudden changes. :c I'll do my best for all of you to get your chance.

Thank you, Mur. Thank you for all the gifts and your kindness, and most of all: For Creating MD. Please have a happy new year, and a great, and wonderful Christmas.

Oh, I see, now. Thank you for clarifying.

In my time at the park, I have noticed that a lot of younger MPs don't really know what a mp6 is, or who they are. MP6 is a very unstable MP level in the sense that people can be MP6 for a week, and drop, or be at it for years. On either extreme, the list of Mp6 is always changing. There can be a verbally given list, but that is either prone to: a. forgetting b. being cleared before being read [depending on how busy the chat is] c. being eaten by PMs [if given there] d. the list changing. It's also not very obvious that anyone is MP6 unless you click on their names, or look at the black and orange dots. But the dots are small, and easily overlooked. I don't know if people bother looking at people's names often to see what MP level they are. It would be a lot easier for MP3s and Mp4s to figure out who the protectors are, if there was a symbol of sorts next to their names so as to notify who they are, like the LHOs and how the RPCs were shown. The next best solution that I can think of, would be to put a button on the interface somewhere, [maybe daily progress? A new option at the top of the screen? A clickie?] for people to see it, which can easily be updated and visible for everyone to see. Thoughts, suggestions?
