Curiose

I'm not super active anymore, but I still hang around. Don't really do anything, though.

Activity varies.  If I have mornings available I go to MD.  As that seems to be when folk are most active.  Otherwise, I am alive and well on the forum.  
 
No role.

Phantasm, I believe you may be embellishing a little bit. Not only that, but I also feel that you fail to fully read what I said earlier.
 
1. I said I was not entirely sure of the situation regarding the attempts on Eon's death. And for that, you made the assumption that what I was saying, was fact. Well, here is some fact for you, now that I have it. 
 
2.  Eon was killed successfully (woohoo?) and it took him about 10 hours to be revived. That's pretty hefty if you ask me.  So three minutes is an embellished hyperbole, if you ask me.
 
3. I wasn't even referring to his actual DEATH. I was referring to his death being countered due to supposed leaks (if my memory serves me right) and also asking a question of how his contract can be countered.
 
Please read. It will save me time and energy that is precious to me.

Personally, I think it would be fun to thwart ne'er do wells.  It wouldn't be done in vengeance, but rather, done in the spirit of the game.  
 
For instance, I thought of killing someone myself just because I want to.  
But I wouldn't be upset if someone countered my actions, or, more realistically, gave proper cause and effect for my actions.  
 
Say for instance I kill someone successfully, a d someone was able to prove I was the killer.  I'd be happy to serve my time as my job was completed, and that the victim(s)  were successful in bringing me down.  
 
I'd be sorely disappointed, however, if someone didn't do a thing.  What's the point in being a baddy if it doesn't generate action? 

I used to be the 2nd most hated player in MD years ago under the username aaront222. First hated still goes to Fenrir Greycloth.

The Labyrinth is what can be called, in the simplest of terms, a broken mirror. It reflects itself... in itself. Not once but multiple times, in different ways, from different angles. Sometimes the cracks and broken pieces (of glass? something else?) form something new altogether, sometimes they result in incomplete paths or unexpected "edges".
 
In other words, if it wasn't "broken", it would indeed not be a maze but clear cut paths, easy to travel through. If it wasn't "broken", it would actually have an exact center where everything would reflect, but that is not the case. The center does not physically exist, it is meant to be realized.
 
___________________________________________________
 
The purpose of sharing this info is to encourage everyone to answer their questions (which will obviously be aroused after reading) themselves, if they dare to venture into the Labyrinth of course :D.
 
Which is why I shall also create a mini-quest!
 
It is very simple: PM me ingame or through forum, what you think are the coordinates of the exact center of the Labyrinth, and why. It may be very easy or difficult, depending on how you look at things :)
 
I'll give out rewards based on how logical your answers are. The quest lasts for a whole month (ending on December 11).

I haven't fully hashed this out, as it is a thought I just thought and I want to toss it out to the community and see if this is maybe a viable thing, or if people are interested.
 
I know Christmas is a little more than a month away, however, that gives plenty of time for planning. : )
 
Anywho, I was thinking it would be pretty cool to do a Secret Santa Gift Exchange deal.  My thoughts are as follows:

*Would need the person who has the Santa Account involved, if that is possible for this, for the anonymity of it all*
 
* Participants would put their selves on the list, and what they are interested in MD wise.
* Interests must not be of something unattainable, but something doable, with current mechanics and potential creation of mechanics.
 
 
And.. that's about it. I think Secret Santa is pretty straight forward, no?

While I don't particularly care to do this kind of thing, I feel that maybe I should, to remind myself, and others, of what I am grateful for, and that I am grateful for who, and what I have in my life. Everything and one needs a bit of appreciation some times.
 
I thought about having a 30 Days of Gratuity thread, but I realize being a week in is a tad too far for November.
 
Anywho.
 
I am grateful for my friends- those of physical nature, and those I met online. I am especially grateful for my friends in MD, and it has taken me a while to come back "home". 
 
I am grateful for my puppy, who, every morning makes me smile and feel loved and wanted, who has helped me tremendously these past few months. Definitely the perfect comedic relief.
 
I am grateful for Tea, as without it, I likely would be on a less healthy eating habit than I have.
 
In general, I am grateful for my life. In every aspect and every moment  It really is wonderful.

I only speak for myself, Mur, when I say that the reason I personally drew similarities between him and Fang (and maybe a bit of Seigheart), was because of the social behavior.  It didn't have anything to do with the role at all.  But what they did with the social pressures, and the reactions and the general lack of accountability when those pressures arose.
 
I feel that maybe others feel the same in that regard, however, I cannot speak for those with the biggest opposition.

On phone, will be brief.  
 
Read what these people are saying.  Read and understand (not read and move on) what I wrote to you.  
 
These people (marv and chew) are giving you the things that you need to work on before you can proper move on.  
 
They aren't bashing you.  They aren't being overly critical, either.  You seriously need an attitude adjustment, because right now, you're borderline lost cause (for me at least).  This isn't intended as an insult, but some growing up is in order. 

Preface: I don't really care to comment on all the other stuff.  I mainly just have a question (or two) I wish to ask DD specifically. I thought about writing a separate topic on this, but felt it would be too generalized and therefor, needed to be direct.
 
 
DD...
You state you wanted to help MD grow as a whole, however, I feel that your actions were laced entirely of self purpose. Potentially of a vendetta against Dst, and perhaps even Eon. Do you have any idea of what your actions can, and have done? Do you even understand the concept of accountability? Not that of others, but yourself?

In a lot of commentary I see that many have tried to help you, before, and after. Yet you brush them off.  And when you brush them off you point the finger at them and say that they were at fault. 
 
Have you bothered considering that maybe... You, were the one at fault? I see a lot of "but they did.... But they said.... but they want...." A lot of "theys". Not a lot of "I's".
You can point the finger at Dst or Eon, but you can also point the finger at Chewett and Mur and Council, too. You can point the finger at everyone who has spoken to you, given you support, help, or ideas. But at the end of it all, you are the one with the burden to bear. And with that burden, you carry the poison of your lack of accountability for your actions. If you are to even succeed, I suggest that you take a long hard look at your actions and yourself and fix what needs to be fixed before you even consider moving forward with your role.  Not only that, but I feel you also need to apologize to the people you have brushed off for even trying to help you. Take responsibility and part of the blame. And maybe you might have better working relationships.

It is very late in Curi time, so I might be a bit unclear. If any clarifications are needed, I will attempt in my best way.
 
I am all for accountability, and I really like what Burns stated.  There are a lot of roles out there that have abilities, powers, paths, what have you, but no real destination nor any real "design" for effort. I'm going to pick on Rophs a bit (I apologize, and I also apologize as I really have no clear understanding of your role aside from the basics), and say that if you gave him the role that he has, and he doesn't fulfill it within a certain time period, or if his seed walks become an utter shame, then why should he still have that title and role?  It makes no sense. It is as if you're giving freebies with no sense of them understanding the gravity of what it is that they have- which is literally a game changer. 
 
If you have someone who is being an utter pill who can't have any social grace, then hell yeah, it should be the community's right to voice their opinion on the matter. We are the sound board; we give feed back on what we feel works and what doesn't. But, I can speak from my own personal experience, it seems like that feedback tends to be more on the "ignored" side, which leads to frustration, which leads to stagnation,which leads to resentment. Does that make any sense? I am not trying to pick on you at all, it's just my brain has had time to process and I'm tired so I'm chatty.
 
Once more, I am going to reiterate the fact that I am incredibly against the lack of accountability that people have for these roles (again, call me a hypocrite, but I paid my dues). And, like Rophs, am going to pick on DD because his response was brief and to the point.  People actually WANT those with these special shinies to have a big red button that could axe everything for them. It isn't a one strike you're out system, but if they mess up, then something needs to be done. I don't believe anyone is ever above that.

Actually, I think I can a little bit, talk on favoritism. (I apologize if this seems hypocritical on my part, as it is not intended that way).
 
I think it is awesome that people who do truly awesome things to get the things they deserve. People who put time and effort into the growth and aid of MD deserve recognition of at least some form, because they earned it. I am going to toss out the recent example of the person who did the symbols, I think that is really cool. I didn't say so obviously because I didn't want to be spammy- I feel I have done enough of that. : p
 
Anywho. When it comes to people who have a history of doing really terrible things (like Seigheart when he stole Avvys), or have no clear understanding of social boundaries and what is, and isn't acceptable (Fang), it really makes people question. It makes it hard to put faith in a person receiving these things because history has shown that well, they can't handle responsibility, or they can't handle social pressure. (I don't personally feel this way, but it's a gander at a guess) And because of that, it makes people wary of when you hand out such large chunks of responsibility. 
 
I am sure I have much more to say on this matter, but right now I'm scatter brained with distractions so I can't quite focus.

Thank you for the response.  It wasn't a pressing "I must know this now!" thing, but rather a curiosity of mine.
