No, these mushrooms are not magical.

Pigs are fin---... NO. PIGS WILL NOT UNDERMINE MY TRUFFLES.

No cooking Shroomy!

As you know, I am the Mushroom Worshiping Crazy Lady that chases after Z with a net in hand and... yeah anyway. I was thinking after having a wonderful conversation thingy with Burnsy, that: There should be a Mushroom Cult!! I already worship my mushroom... I just need other believers to make it official. We were thinking of just having Mushroom ceremonies/sacrifices to Shroomy and overall causing Mushroom havoc against the Nightshade users and Bob lovers of which have deserted Shroomy! Maybe someday when we are strong... we can shed the blood of the Tomato Cult... As always, I want people's ideas on such an idea before really going forth with it. So.. please tell me whatcha think. Please note that this is unofficial and is completely something to do for fun.

I was referring to the possible commentary system that may be used in the future. Thank you, Yrth.

For those who are voicing their opinions on a specific King, are they protected from any outlash of said King? That is, if they choose not to be anonymous. Also, is this restricted to those who are only citizens, or can anyone in MD voice? And if not, what about those with diplomacy in a certain land?

Perhaps when in the discussion of how to see the percentage of discontent, would probably be either to: A. Create some sort of... perhaps an automated reader that scans through the chats picking up detection of discontent/approval of the players, and then putting it into a percentage form. [Maybe this is too out there?] [b]Advantage[/b]: Less work for Mur, Possible accuracy in percentages, anonymous. [b]Disadvantage[/b]: Abuse [? Lies about how people actually feel], Inaccuracy if reader breaks down/ people do not state how they feel, discontent of having the chats scanned by said reader. B. Creating a weekly poll/ Survey. [b]Advantage[/b]: Accurate information [based on who states what]. [b]Disadvantage[/b]: More work for Admins/Mods, less accurate [because of little input from populace], debates on said polls. In the accuracy about numbers... as in, how many people state what, would there have to be a specific number of responses for it to be considered "accurate?" Realistically, not everyone in MD is going to respond to polls/state their opinion on the matter. This is all that I can think of currently.

I like it. I think this sort of thing could possibly be put in the MDNP [if it gets revived, hopefully.] Have a group of witty people make comic strips about things and such... I love satire.

Well, as I see it, this could possibly lead to a war, or some sort, if the situation gets serious enough I think. Unless one of the land rules is simply that Kings cannot effect where rogues stay to communicate?

No, you see I was applying a real world situation and putting it into MD. Say you have Land A which is the land with the abusive king or whatever, and its Rebellious people went to Land B to discuss their plans and such. Say that people in Land B knew of this, and helped to discuss their plans, take over, or whatever, and if Kings of Land A and B were.. good friends, and such, would land B punish his own citizens as for aiding against an allied land or something? I know how the mechanics work, but in a situation as such, I was curious as to what lengths the Rebels would be deterred.

Here's a question... Would lands harboring the Rebels be punished, or would there be freedom as to where the rebels can discuss their plans and such, if not in their own land? As I see it, the Kings could easily punish their own citizens for such aiding, but at the same time, how does one draw the line from that?

For those who were not able to attend the Story Night sessions, the stories will be posted on the MagicDuel Archives. This will take a couple days because I need to round up all your stories again and put them in a neat little bundle. : D But it WILL be done! Also: For those who would like to see their comments from the last Story Night*, please write me a PM and I can find them for you. Please remember that there is so many of you, and only... what? 4 of us? Edit: *The comments will be available until after this next SN, that way I don't keep them for very long and I can have room in my PM Box for other things. Please get them if you want them. Also, I need your stories BEFORE HAND so that they can be used for the Archives. I detest having to use logs to display a story. If you can send the story to us before Story Night, or after you present it, then you can have it to judge, and for the Archives. Otherwise... well, I apologize, but then you will not have the ability to have either showcased, or judged. Thank you for your help, time, patience and appreciation!

I do agree that in things involving the kings that they do need some sort of Heads up, but in the situation we are facing currently... The action of Mur to dissipate further abuse and to take allow the people more freedom to take care of a rogue king, I think, has been swift and is necessary. As was said in the announcements, he made this new rule based on current events, though I will not delve into what specifically. What I think Mur was trying to do, was get allowing the people to help take care of massive issues dealing with the Kingship. I am not saying that anyone has abused it, but rather, if ever there is a case of sorts that this would be necessary, the people have the ability to be their own task force instead of crying to Mur.

I don't know. The announcement said that you can use old alliances if everyone in said alliance becomes a rebel to negotiate.

With the introduction to the rebel rule, is that effective immediately, disregarding any ongoing things? This question really has no relation to anything, it was just a question that came up as I was speaking about it with some friends. Also, once an Alliance is abandoned, that Alliance still has value, but can be used for bartering and such like that?

I am being neutral on the subject, and have sent my opinions and my thoughts to those involved. Saying it here is not necessary. I am opposed to having Pample being called a Sheep because she is not. I find that calling her a weak-minded person to be an absolute insult. And your sexism, Rhaegar, is not helping matters either.

I am well aware what is going on. I have spoken to all of them. My offense still stands against calling Pample a sheep.

It wasn't so much that they were annoying me, it's more like I am being aggressive to reinforce the fact that I will do what is needed to get things done. I am not so much a business lady, but I do some pretty dangerous stuff and gruffness comes naturally.

Have you any proof of such an accusation? Pample makes her choices based on her own choices, not based on anyone else's. I am offended by this post.

[quote name='Kyphis the Bard' timestamp='1278024085' post='63124'] You can cast silence at any MP level, it doesn't take heat. Just be aware that you can get banned if you use it inappropriately (so make sure it is for a very good reason) [/quote] Might be a bit belated, but I meant to use it in real life. Like say... a boss you hate. : D

Ah, Okay. Because it made me wonder, since the previous announcement had stated that it was only for Paypal. Thanks for clearing that up. :3

The one thing that confused me, was the mention of coins... Perhaps I read it wrong, but non-paying players are able to join the raffle by submitting coins?

This will be the thread where we [The people who are running Story Night/Sponsoring it] will be posting your rewards. However, for this occasion, I am stating a notice here about such reward [which will be edited]: Currently, You people will have to wait a couple more days before the posting will be available. There are some things that need to be worked out because we are doing something new from the previous Story Night and the past SN's in general. So, please bear with us. There are kinks, but we are working through said kinks. I apologize in advance that we cannot get to you your prizes sooner, but to keep the integrity, and equality of all of your pieces, we need to work through the kinks, and fix whatever that needs to be fixed. As a side note, and as a warning: if I hear anyone complaining about not being able to get your prizes soon enough, I will be happy to void whatever you are getting. We are working as fast as we can, and there is only a small team of us. A little appreciation, and patience would be more than accepted. Yes, we are doing this for you, but I do not want greedy little fingers scratching at my back for something as meager as maybe a few coins because that's all they got*. Also, if I find that you happen to be dissatisfied, feel free to complain to me. I will simply tell you that you should have written a better story, and to take whatever comments/criticism you get to learn from. I do not like to be harsh, I do not like to be strict, but if this is what has to be done, then it will be done. *Please remember that this is not a quest. This is for people who wish to show off their talent. Some pieces may not even get a prize, hence why we ask our judges to give comments and critiquing. hank you for your time and consideration.
