Curiose

Personally, I don't really care either way about GGG. I applaud those who are trying to lend a helping hand to people in need, but I think this thing is really only necessary for those who really need it- such as those in stat loss. As I see it also, to me personally, [even though it doesn't effect me much], sends a message saying that you guys are too afraid to really go out and fight in the real world [Meaning the boundaries of MD instead of your little training group], and that MP5 is supposed to be this huge scary place. Rubbish. Your complaints and your whining are only proving that you can't suck it up and deal with it like everyone else. Personally, I don't particularly like people digging up logs just to see if anyone is doing wrong, but that is me. That's my stance on it. However, if there is a seedling of such, then I find it applicable in any sense. Dst had a sniffing of what you guys were doing, and as such used her power to uproot it and therefore exploit the knowledge she had to otherwise undermine your training grounds. In this sense of the use of the Drachorn lair, I find to be highly acceptable. Again, she had an inkling of it, and used that to punish people reasonably. Once more, the point comes out: She is one person. We are the masses. Running, playing hide and go seek from one person is a bit silly. As for what I agree with on the matter of location: Simply go to places that aren't highly trafficed, such as the basement. You might say: "Dst already found us out. :c" But what i say to that is this: She found you, so what. If what you do is bounce from place to place that are not well known, but are not necessarily hard to get into, I don't see the problem. If you're found, you move on. That eliminates one problem. The other is the rules. With that, I have no problem. It just depends on the person dealing with it, in this case Dst. There's my 2 cents.

Convince the who now...? Who the *beep* are the hoi polloi?

You stated in the thread below that this might be a good addition to the MD awards. Perhaps it could be used for the best RP couple instead of what was thought originally. http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/7744-mr-and-mrs-magic-duel/ Edit: So as not to get the people banned for the status of being Mr and Mrs MagicDuel, it'll be something like Mr and Mrs 2010, unless someone else comes up with a more creative name. Or, we can keep it at the same old comedic standpoint that it was originally.

One more Notice about judging! Currently, we are working on a new system within the forums which I have been notified will be finished on the 16th. Once that is taken care of, the judges will be able to judge your pieces, and then rewarding can take place. Thank you once more for your time and patience.

.... I do not know. Shroomy is very near and dear to me. Letting you 'borrow' him for experiments would make him think I was betraying his Cause..

You have experiments...? What [i]kind[/i] of experiments?

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!
