Menhir

When I was logging in today I had a feeling that I have to check the forum. Didn´t do it for a long time. Reading this as the first post which is of interest to me is the answer for my intuition. One thing I just learned in the last week of October is what came into my mind reading your long post. Go into your heart! Things are changing very fast on earth and the most important is the way we are living right now. EVERY single person I know had major changes in life in the last 12 months, myself included. Now I learn what I always knew but never put enough awareness onto. Everything starts from the heart and we are what is there. There are ways to reconnect with your heart and reconnect the brain with the heart, this is crucial. If you need a direction to look, take this one. If you don´t find anything ask me, I will give what I have. I wish I could be a more direct help for you but as far as I can see right now ... we are really far away from each other no matter what direction I look from. All the best

"Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection." I need to say "No" ...

I did gather a lot everyday for a very long time but stopped one day, because there was nothing to do with it. Now I lost it ... looks like I´m of no help now.

To become like a "Menhir" you need a lot of stones. I´m unsure if I already reached that goal but 3800 looks like I dedicated myself to the task.

Let them truly free ...meaning get them out of the game .. let them fly away. And then, because we have more "creatures" who deserve to be free (all of them I guess), lets do the same with them ... simply put - erase them all from the game by setting them free. Lets turn this into a pure roleplay game then, I mean chatroom.

Save the drachorns from slavery? Did I miss something? " My first step towards this is to focus on creating a drachorn haven, anyone who wishes so can free their drachorn from slavery and hand them to me, i will take good care of them and rest assured they will not have to face any more battles for as long as they are in my care, only those that prove they are worthwhile would receive the gift of a mighty drachorn." This sounds like the tactic another player was trying months ago and I never thought you would go in this direction. For now I´m not really into your "new" role.

For me its perfect ... means 27 is the way I feel in RL and see my character ingame too.

I cannot find the exact quote but I will try to remember correctly. Its taken from one of Jiddu Krishnamurti conversations. "If there is conflict there cannot be truth at the same time ..." In the light of this ... my opinion is that both of you are somehow not aware enough what you could have done better. Please consider to talk again with each other with the help of a third "person" who would be the mediator. There is no wrong or correct here, just something which happened in the past which needs to be looked at with proper awareness cutting out all the emotions. I can see that this topic is somehow intended to work like this "mediator". My feeling is that both of you are thinking "I`m correct!" but the moment you think you know the truth or you´re correct, you´re not. I vote for " Confiscate the goods aquired and do nothing more " even if it´s not what I would do, but all other options are fitting even less. I hope you can settle this fast and clean, the more time and energy it takes the less work will be finished by you Mur and this is the bigger picture we all should focus on. All of you who are working on A25 are doing a great job and MD needs more of it without the disturbance of such "incidents".

The moment it gets unpleasant most of the time you back out ... like a father who was told something in his face by his child which he doesn´t like. "God has spoken and now there should be silence ... " I´m not impressed, never was ... never will be, not by this. That´s not strength or something you earn respect with, the opposite in fact. But who am I? Just someone.

First step is to see that there is a "mistake", second to think of a solution, third to ask for advise and fourth to consider all the advise and make a decision. Whatever you do you will make a "mistake" again because you have to take one road which will leave something left on the other road. In this case its up to us the players to decide if we still have fun with what you decided or not. The population of MD will stay like it is now or shrink, in no way it will grow ... you know why. As long as you´re considering this you should be fine. The only thing you should not do is to continue to put people, who supported the game by playing it (there is no correct or wrong isn´t it?) into boxes and by this try to justify your decision. I never forgot that this is not a democratic system here, so I was not surprised that you decided things. I was surprised by the way you did it. And again from my point of view you don´t have to feel sorry for those who don´t like it, just expect that they might react in a way you don´t like and they might not be sorry. I wish you all the success with the plans and decisions you will make for MD for a brighter future. MD was a great game it might become one again.

We are still talking about a game right? If a game, I guess we can argue about its purpose, is no fun or less and less fun why should anyone who realized how precious time is, continue "playing" the game. Please don´t call it experience, it makes real life look like a joke.

For me the best movie from Bollywood so far closely followed by "3 Idiots", "Lagaan" & "Rockstar".

Blind? I guess you have not the time or something else is not there to understand what I did mean. If it would be important we could continue but my impression is that this whole topic was not designed by you because of the importance of it ...

@Mur I was not asking because I didn`t know where the phrase came from, I´m totally aware of it and all the theories behind it. These are theories for everyone as long as you turn them into real knowledge. With the definition of knowledge I gave in my first post I wanted to show that everything we are trying to talk about here in this topic is not knowledge, not our own at least. And everything we take from others, their (real) knowledge, means we have to believe them. So we are believers and followers of their knowledge. I always thought of you as an non-believer and a true seeker ... that´s why I was "impressed" realising that I might be wrong.
