People get faced with opposition when they expect things to just be handed to them. If I remember correctly in your case, you decided you wanted to become "Death" and thought the council would grant you a name change just because you asked for it, or considered asking for it. You should try to study those who have roles and find out how they got them. Firestarter (I think it was him) roleplayed about his cloud for the longest time before eventually getting a cloud (and possibly a tag and description). Put in the work, be realistic, be active and it'll most likely come.

Lands of the East

Zentao When she contacted me in the past over rewards I never had anything to complain about. She delivered things fast and seemed happy to do her job as a TK member. I think she can handle it

"I need to stand in a VERY specific space to be ported to the Treasury. And seeing as Ledah has my Leash, i cant do much." You're only limited by your lack of knowledge. You have an alliance, use it.

That's incredibly unrealistic. I take the last herb so I somehow magically lose 20+ herbs because of it... come on. It still wouldn't stop the depleting, since I I'd still be doing it no matter what the negative effect is (yes, even if I lost a percentage of my overall stats, which wouldn't make any sense, but I'm sure someone will eventually end up suggesting). Losing stats doesn't make any sense either. I don't see how picking the last x from a spot makes you less skilled at gathering it. There is currently already a negative in place as well, and that's the fact that we have to wait longer before we get to pick anymore herbs. I'm all for negative's, but at least propose negatives that are actually realistic.

If we're going to throw a resistance factor in there, would I be invincible considering 99 percent of MD couldn't put up much resistance at all against my character? Would I kill 100 percent of the time?

Not a bug, I've already brought it up to Bugs@MD. I think it has to do with my herbalism stat, since I noticed double gathering after I hit a certain amount

None of the gold or silver goes to the winner as far as I'm aware. If I remember correctly some things went to the postman, but i'm not sure about it all. Some silver supposedly goes into the winners land treasury. I charged 1 gold coin or 15 silver coins during the BHC so only those serious to compete would join. If i set it it too low then people would get a bunch of others to sign up and just hide in some far off spot and roleplay all their heads to the single person. How do I know I that would happen? Common sense and I've had others tell me they wanted to do that. If someone wanted to try that then they'll have to pay up. I feel it worked out for the most part. One gold coin for someone who is serious about competing really isn't that much though. How do you really motivate people into joining something they most likely consider boring and think they'd have no chance in? Great prizes and constant promotion in the trigger box/ mood panel couldn't get a larger crowd. I doubt too much else would, unless you'd like to pay people to sign up.

It doesn't matter how creative you are, at the end of the day the BHC essentially uses the same system as the HC. Your goal: Attack people for their heads and then run away. 1. We have a very small active community, at least to me and everyone else I speak to through the forum and yim, along with what I witness others say in chat. 2. Not many members of the MD community are super active fighters. Yes, you have the small group of people who actively train all the time, but it's really not all that much. A lot of members seem to be mostly into roleplay and questing when one they like comes up. These guy's tend to set up exp loss defenses for people who enjoy training, and also train their own creatures from time to time, but I'd hardly call people like that people who are really into the whole mindless fighting thing. I'd call them go with the flow types, and people who wouldn't really be interested in sitting at the computer around the clock hunting and hiding. 3. Like I wrote earlier, the BHC system is basically the same as the HC. You attack people for heads and run away. This is exactly how the game is played, although you do get to roleplay heads in the BHC. Now does it really seem like such a small community with an even smaller group of fighters would get a large turnout in a BHC event? No, it sounds like the event would get an extremely small turnout. Don't try to tell me I should have been creative. Putting the heads hill in a different spot wouldn't have made the event much more fun. Making it strictly in one small location wouldn't have made it much more fun. That last one would probably decrease the amount of fighters even more. Imagine how many mirror rits would be used up on me or lightsage if we all fought fairly close to each other. Fighters would either go broke from buying mirror stones or they'd just have to give up since they wouldn't really be able to take us most of the time, at least in the beginning. Let's also not forget that being stuck in a small area with skilldamage around and actively being used tends to be a turnoff for most. I believe it's fairly easy to see that unless the system was changed drastically on a regular basis, it's just going to get stale for most people. Maybe I'm wrong, but if people think I am then they should try to apply to be the new Boss Heads Master. Let's see how many people you guy's can bring to the table. Why didn't I suspend the contest before it started? There are no refunds in the BHC (I didn't make up the rule, and I also don't get any of the coins/items people give to enter), and I didn't feel it would be fair to the fighters who already signed up. Why not say "This BHC/side event won't start before 20 people sign up"? Do you realize how long that would take? Like we've seen time and time again, the majority aren't even interested in participating fully. So the people who are truly interested should wait until everyone else who isn't that interested shrugs and say's "What the hell, I may as well try to help this thing get going." That could be a waiting period of many months, and when it finally starts the players who might have been extremely interested in competing could very well have other things to do and won't have the time to compete anymore. I wasn't looking to screw players over in the BHC, so the chance of me suspending the competition and saying "Sorry, you just wasted a gold coin for nothing," wasn't likely to happen. With so little demand for the BHC it's probably best that it just get's removed from the game. It'll always end up coming down to about 3-6 active players (I'm feeling generous, otherwise I'd probably put it at 3-4) My punishment was deserved? I really don't see it that way. I'm the type who usually follows guidelines to a T. I was given guidelines, and I wanted to follow them for the most part. Mur considers this game his life's work, or so he say's on the forum, and I feel I should follow it the way he outlined for me. You can say "you should have improved on it and made it better," but I'd like to point you back to the top of my post where I outline how easy it is to see how boring the same type of system for a fighting event becomes over time, and I'd love to see someone step up and prove me wrong. My punishment came from me following guidelines I was given when I received my role, and possibly for the community not being interested in competing in a copy of the same system as the HC while now having to fight against the strongest players in the game. If more punishments would follow low turnouts/few people actively competing or something else that is bound to happen pretty much every single time, I have no doubt I would have lost a trust point for every next BHC, and possibly any side events in the future. There is no point if their just itching to rid me of my trust points. If you want sugar coating I suggest you visit a candy shop. I am very blunt when I speak or write to people, and I've exchanged so many messages with the council on a number of subjects that I will no longer speak "nicely" to them. It's like when you call up the customer service hotline for a product you recently bought and then you get some guy in India who has very little knowledge of the product, puts you on hold for a long period of time, and then all of a sudden after waiting for 45 minutes the call gets dropped, or he/she just hangs up. You then call back and eventually give them a piece of your mind because your fed up with them. Yrth, you walked away from kingship because you couldn't handle me. You also "threw the rattle out of the pram" (I'm guessing that means threw a temper tantrum) because I was given a medal for slaying you. I'll say the same to you, It's probably best you walked away, because you obviously didn't care about GG, right? I mean, if anyone walks away they automatically didn't care about their previous role, at least that seems to be the way you see things, or that was my interpretation of what you wrote. Let's also remember that I respected my power enough not to abuse it, while you on the other hand abused your power and lost a trust point. You could claim I abused my power by winning, but in actuality I never used any of my BHC abilities (I really only have the legislator to move people to my location or scatter them) to win that contest. I just walked into the TB and idled while everyone did their own thing, and even got a present from lightsage. I have a strong feeling the majority of people don't believe I actually abused my power to win.

I'm resiging from my BHC position. I decided to post why, and show how the council and I don't see eye to eye when it comes to my position. This is an email from them and my response to them. If you feel like reading it, first read the council's email at the bottom. My responses are at the top. Feel free not to post, what you have to say really means very little to me. "> We didn't reply previously as you deemed to start the contest without > hearing back from us." Which according to the creator of MagicDuel, Mur, I had every right to. We've spoken about my BHC role many times in the past, and none of you apparently have any idea what he has told me. "The BHC's with skilldamage are run too regularly." From my coversations with Mur I was given the impression that skilldamage is supposed to be rewarded for every BHC. If I remember correctly skilldamage is suppose to make the "Strongest" player weaker over time, because no one will want to train with the person. Had I never recieved skilldamage I'd be about 5-10 times stronger than I am now, meaning my attack stat would be in the tens of millions. Kind of makes sense, although I'm also not willing to join little training groups, so that also has put a damper on my training in the past. Also, every BHC in history has given skilldamage so it's very easy to believe that's how it's supposed to go. ..................................................................................... "Rewards of the BHC should be appropriate to the contest being > run, Skilldamage is an exclusive ability right now and not to be given > out lightly. This contest in which participation was minimal and without > effort exerted by the players was undeserving of skilldamage as a > reward. Instead it was a contest in which you effectively set yourself > up to win again and receive additional skilldamage which is > unacceptable." Are you people really that stupid? I set myself up to win it again? What proof do you have that I specifically set it up to win skilldamage again? Oh, that's right, you don't have any, you're just assuming that's what happened. Yeah, you guy's are perfect examples of people who shouldn't be leading MD. You people obviously know nothing and yet make assumptions based on no real proof. Like I just stated, I was under the impression every BHC was supposed to give skilldamage as a reward. How could I have known there was going to be such a low turnout? Oh, that's right, I couldn't have known that. I set up the sign ups, I can't force people to join this. From what I hear, a lot of people were just too busy in real life at the time to sign up and give it much of an effort, so they decided not to sign up at all. Another group of people don't sign up because their weak and don't feel they have much of a chance in these competitions. Skilldamage? Seriously, why the hell would I care if I gain more skilldamage or not? I had 93 skilldamage and then it went up by 20. The effects of skilldamage are supposed to be capped at 100, so in essence I gained 7 skilldamage points. It turns out it's not actually capped, but I figured Mur was still working on putting the cap on it, therefore it would soon enough just be capped at 100. So you think I threw this thing just for 7 skilldamage stats? I get 6 just from a single shop reset. Lets also take a look at my battling history over the past I don't know, 5 months? Take a good look at how little I battle. Why would I possibly care if I gained a few more points in skilldamage if I often don't even attack the same person more than 5 times in a day? Hell, i doubt I usually attack the same person even three times a day now. I even look at Ignnus sometimes and say "screw it" before deciding to just go idle instead of attacking him. So answer me this, where do you people get off saying that I effectively set this up just so I could win it and gain more skilldamage? Skilldamage is pretty damn worthless to me, and despite what other players might say, I have no ability to see into the future. There's not only no proof, but there is also no motive for me trying to set this up so I could specifically win, at least when it comes to skilldamage. I didn't have the golden medal yet, but I'll tell you in the next few sentences how little I cared whether I won this thing or not. Guess how active I was during this entire BHC. You done guessing? I was active between 3-8 percent of the time. Do you realize how incredibly easy it would have been for people to beat me in this? GoE,SendtoMur'sgate (whatever that spell is called), Lighthouse, tea, alliances, cooperation. i could have been beaten so damn easy it's ridiculous. Lightsage actually came to my location in the east when I was sleeping and gave me his ball of heads through Roleplay. The few times I actually got sent to the GoE was when I had just gotten home and was checking my computer. Bummer for Seig on that one. You can even ask Lightsage or Shadow about it. I mentioned to both during the competition that I was leaving to go to some parties. That's what I do. I'm not interested in staying around sitting at the computer all day, and I especially wouldn't give MD that much attention. My MD addiction is buried in the past. "You quoted that Mur asked you to run BHC's every X months. Do not do > that. The purpose of your role is not to run BHC for the sake of running > it." Mur told me to run side events every two months and a BHC every four months. I said "No," because I thought that was too soon for a BHC, so I decided to throw them every six months. 6 months gives people plenty of time to train and get their stuff in order, and I don't consider it that short of a time period. I was willing to go a little farther than Mur wanted, but I won't go that far. .......................................... "> Mur gave you permission to do what you want with the BHC.

I was told that if he was ever unreachable when I was going to throw a BHC I could email the council the details and that was it. I specifically asked along the lines of, "Do I have to wait for them to get back to me before throwing the BHC or side event?", and I was told that I didn't have to wait. You guy's weren't informed of that? Too bad, you're the council, you should already be informed of this stuff. It's not my problem that you leaders don't have your stuff together. Trust me, I'm not the only player who thinks of you guy's like that. ............................................ "> We also ask you (as we believe you have already been asked) not to > participate to win the BHC, we feel you should not participate to win as > you cannot fairly judge and be a member of the contest.

I was told I could participate, so I do. I have no memory of being told not to compete to win. I value Mur's words over everyone else's anyway, so it wouldn't really matter. Also, this is supposed to be a contest to determine the best of the best right? If I'm not breaking any of the rules I set in place, you should allow the others to compete against the best of the best. I'm not going to just compete to compete. I'm not going to compete without any chance of me being able to win whatsoever, that means I automatically lose, and someone who isn't the best falsely receives a medal for being the best, only because one of the very best couldn't compete. Why don't we just rename the competition to HC2 and give everyone medals already. I can't fairly judge and be a member of the contest? Have I ever broken any of the rules I set up for the competition? Let's see... nope. I don't go into restricted locations, do anything that prevents me from being attackable, or anything else I ever put in place that could have possibly altered the competition in an unnatural way. When I was accused of once being unnatackable because an Elu was popping up on my def I immediately gave it to DST. I believe the majority of people feel I've been fair when it comes to dealing out punishments for any of my events. The people who getr punished obviously aren't too happy, but what I notice in chat tends to show me that people agree with my decisions. I don't see any reason I wouldn't be able to participate when I hold myself to the same exact rules as everyone else. Seems like your just caving to pressure from others. ................................................ "> This BHC participants merely sat around and didn't fight to win, this > is ridiculous to happen in the BHC, it should be a battle of the best > fighters and not of who can sit in the Tribunal the longest. Do you > think it would be better if the fighting was more compact? Do you think > you could be given any tools to make BHC better?" Aww... simply adorable. That fantasy will never happen. People can win the BHC over and over again, therefore weaker fighters and decent fighters won't believe they have any chance of beating the elites, meaning you lose a big bunch of possible fighters right there. Real life gets in the way so sometimes that cuts out some major players as well. You know what's left? Often 10 players or less. Do you know how many of them are actively fighting in the BHC? 3-6 usually. Other players tend to get bored and go do something else. At the end of the day a head contest is still a head contest. It's the HC, but anyone can participate and possibly win. You want it to be statless? Alright, but it's not really going to be the best verse the best is it? The best have now been weakened 10000 fold. It's like all their grinding was for nothing. It always makes me laugh when people say "Eon should throw an HC for each different land". Do they realize how few people there are in other lands? Do they realize things would probably play out between people who generally get along well? I can imagine Loreroot's right now... "Nimrodel gives all heads to Shem, Lorerootian gives all heads to shem, Lorerootian gives all heads to Shem." We already know who the strongest is, and I highly doubt they'd really fight against each other, let alone in high numbers. I havebn't noticed Shem playing much anymore, but I'm pretty sure they'd do the same for some other Lorerootian, The same goes for all other lands. At least with my land cup event an entire land could have tried to work together and help their champion win. I saw Nimrodel giving Shem a bunch of heads, so they knew how to work together and win. I thought more people would have tried to ensure their lands champion won but I guess I was wrong about that, although it was a far better event than one would be if it was just for a single land. People could have gotten me out of the tribunal or gotten to me very easy. It's called cooperation, along with a bunch of other things. People were either too lazy, too stupid, or they didn't want to get first place. I like making events compact, but I like giving BHC fighters the freedom to go almost anywhere. I believe a lot of strategy can be used for chasing others, and I like to have that in the BHC. I do enjoy compact fighting, although I think it would also less sign ups overall. Who wants to be stuck in a little zone with me or anyone else like me? Weaker players at least figure they can get my heads and try to make a run for it. No tools really come to mind. Like I said ealier, a BHC or event is basically an HC. The main difference is that they often have themes, or they have very, very small twists to them, like more points to the second stage, a longer second stage, or more head hills/head hill at a different spot. Not to mention they used to have great prizes. ................................... "> For your mismanagement of the BHCs to date, we have decreased your > Trust Points by 1 and we will be removing the skill damage awarded. We > will give you the rewards for the other participants as these issues do > not concern them and have not come about as a result of anything they > have done." I'd accept that from Mur, although I don't think he'd say the same and I wouldn't really agree with him. I don't accept it from you people. My mismanagement? I've managed the way I was told to. You dislike the low turnouts? Like I've said a few times and I'll say again, and probably again... The BHC is essentially the HC. How does the saying go? If you put lipstick on a pig it's still a pig? People bitched and moaned for another HC that they could participate in and they got it. Now no one really cares for it. I don't believe people were so blind they didn't see this coming. You don't like the prizes I announce? Too bad, I try to do things close to what Mur has told me to. When I asked him for a GG drach for the clash of the lands side event he said something along the lines of "Okay, but that would be too small of a prize for the BHC." GG=pretty rare. pretty rare= too low for the BHC= I guess I have to go higher. Simple to understand, no? I don't agree with the punishment obviously. I take it you would have rather me done nothing while Lightsage idled in the MDA for an easy victory? Yeah, that's much better.

Maybe you guy's will understand how things work in MD once you start getting bitched at for allowing something so abuseable to be used. I wouldn't kick anyone out of the contest simply because Seig, or anyone else for that matter, cloaks them and makes them unnatackable. That would be pretty ridiculous. ................................................... "> The above email overrides everything Mur has previously told you, none > of what he asked holds greater than the above email. If there are any > issues with things you feel should be kept the same, please comment as > we would like your discussion on this" No matter what, even if you bought this game from Mur and are it's new owners, I would still value every ingle thing Mur has told me over you. I respect Mur, and I have zero respect for you. You people take forever on things that could be handled incredibly fast. I've given you solid proof on many occasions and yet you took over a month to handle most issues. You refused to even get back to me about the shared tool hoarding, or maybe it was before the council rotation, and I had to go above your heads and talk to Mur to have things handled. I know Mur was slow, but didn't he get a council together so you guy's could handle things a bit faster than he could? If you guy's can't handle the simplest things in a timely manner you should probably just step down and let people who can actually get things going in MD get the chance to do just that. Oh, and don't worry about reducing my trust points by one. You can take them all, I resign from the position, and I promise to watch from a distance so I can watch how the number of active players in your BHC ends up dwindling down over time. You guy's can feel awesome being on the council all you want, but keep in mind, you're the council for MagicDuel. When I put it that way it sounds a hell of a lot less impressive, doesn't it? I'll be posting this on the forum so people know why I've resigned. > Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:48:55 +0300 > From: contact@magicduel.com > To: x > Subject: Re: BHC > > > Hello Eon > > We didn't reply previously as you deemed to start the contest without > hearing back from us.

http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/11378-seal-of-six-reguarding-lack-of-members/ Mur did warn about having less than three members

The BHC is over First Place: Eon Second Place: *Lightsage* Third Place: Lone Wolf I don't have any CTC's or the gold, so I recommend you email the council.

Seigheart has used his cloak on Lightsage. I will be allowing him to stay in this competition. According to Lightsage he was unvoluntarily cloaked, and I believe it to be true. I'd hate to have to kick him out because Seig want's to mess around with the BHC. In my mind, it'd be like kicking someone out for being teleported into a restricted location, although they didn't want to be. A big difference between those two situations is that I can use my legislator to fix that problem, while there isn't much I can currently do with this situation. I will let it slide for now, but I'm hoping I can somehow convince the council/Mur to put a block on that ability during the BHC/side events during the time their active. You may not like this decision, but it stands.

How would someone be summoned to a restricted location? I only see Mur summoning someone into a restricted location, which I guess I'd have to allow for a little while. Mur's definitely above my head. If you mean someone teleports someone else into say GG while it restricted, I'd be able to find out who did the teleporting with help from someone. I'd ask the person to leave immediately, and if they appeared to be idle I'd have to summon and scatter. If someone told me they kep't getting to a certain restricted location because of a leash than I guess I'd have to keep pulling them out with my legislator, which means everyone would be moved and scattered, I spoke to Mur about these situations once and that's pretty much the only option. My legislator moves everyone, so I'm sure I'll get some wonderful complaints from that.

It doesn't matter if he didn't plan on staying there, he was still in a location that was excluded from the contest. What happened when Phantasm went into the TB when I said it wasn't allowed? He was removed from the competition without warning. What happened when Nadrolski, which is someone I don't have a good relationship with, decided to go into certain locations I considered restricted but I didn't specifically put them on the thread at the time? I gave him a warning to leave those locations. When Shadow was hiding at the Fields of Fear in the BHC he won, i made sure to get confirmation from Mur that Shadow had access to the location and he wasn't using a bug. When Manda was at the path keeper I made sure to get confirmation from Mur that Manda had access to that location. I check all these things. I don't care who you are, whether I like you or not, you'll follow the rules like the rest of us. I've been running things this way for awhile now, and for the most part things run smoothly. When people break the rules and get kicked out they always tend to come on the forum saying it's not fair, but have I ever been punished for it? No, no I haven't. I won't be punished for these things. My rules are pretty simple. Iggnus can claim he was only there for a few seconds at a time all he wants, an excluded location is an excluded location. He obvious realized it wasn't a location he wasn't supposed to be at, otherwise he would have stayed there longer. Unfortunately for him there's a little LHO button that showed me Peace had been at the Fields of Fear while Ignnus kept jumping from the labyrinth. It seems to me like he didn't think I'd ever realize he was at the Fields of Fear, and he'd get away completely free as long as he was quick enough to avoid detection. That's not how things played out, and he was DQ'd for it. If you feel it was unfair then start a trial against me. I have nothing to worry about.

Excluded means you can't go there. If you jump there your still there. Simple enough to understand. Hopefully now you realize there are consequences to breaking rules.

It is very simple actually. You have to be attackable, you can't attack people by using no creatures, and restricted access locations are excluded from the competition, which I specifically mentioned the Fields of Fear being. You had freedom to do basically anything else, and yet you chose to repeatedly break the same rule. Manda, I didn't specifically write on the thread that Angiens Shrine was excluded. You apparently still have full access to it, so I figured you weren't aware that it was considered a restricted location. Had Ignnus gone to that location I would have given him a warning for it. Don't constantly break rules in this competition and think there will be no consequences to it.

Excluded mean's you aren't allowed to go there. It's very simple. You repeatedly risked breaking a very obvious rule, and eventually you got caught. Had you not gone to the Fields of Fear you wouldn't be in this situation right now. There's always next time.

Had I not specifically written Fields of Fear was an excluded location I would have given you a warning. The thing is, I did write Fields of Fear specifically in my very first post, and you chose to ignore that and jump to the location repeatedly. If your going to repeatedly risk breaking rules, expect to one day be caught.

Ignnus was disqualified from this BHC for going to an excluded location that I specifically wrote not to go to on the BHC thread. Peace has been at the Fields of Fear for awhile, and I've watched him jump from the labyrinth to Necrovion multiple times since I noticed Peace happened to be at the Fields of Fear. Jumping is a great strategy in the BHC, but jumping to an excluded location isn't. Always work this stuff out ahead of time with your leader if you plan on jumping. The decision is final.

The BHC has started. Something was mixed up so it wasn't announced
