Why would we want to? In order to trade them (to you?!) or pass them out as rewards, or perhaps try to get... *sniffs* ... old Jeff back. :( Many reasons I could see, but plety of reasons against too. Thus, my post. :) Initial post updated for gender unbiasing. (Sorry Helga, et al) :))

Melt Morphs before their usual time? http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/14266-idea-snowmelter/

Just tossing this out to the community to see if it's even a good idea, or a horribly unbalanced one. Don't hold back! What would you think of a spell, item, Cauldron recipe, or other "effect" to exist, which could focus a large amount of Heat, or resources, or time, or ____ to melt a Snowperson before it's natural devolution? A alkahest solvent or such. ;) I have a vague idea of Principles, that I could flesh out, with Light adding energy to unbalance Cyclicity or some-such, in order to "explain" how it might be possible, but before I dig too far into those shadows, I figured I'd throw the idea out. The way I imagine it, even if a recipe or other "renewable/public" effect is created, it should be rather difficult. Not just a matter of 10 Water, a sprinkle of Herbs, and a Heat Jar would do for such Powerful Magics. Would you want to see something like this,or would that heavily detract from the Morph's uniqueness? Discuss. :cool:

I'd vote! :)

hmm, I tried this on FF and IE8, following No one's directions, and I'm also not seeing the page shift at all. The only thing that moves is the right frame, when the nice new pictures open/closes, which is what I expect. The "content" frame seems static here.

Happy Happies! And Birthdays! :)

excellent suggestion. Sometimes I have been looking for a 'recent' announcement and found it's #23 back or such.

I have not, but a good friend of mine went through a stage where she did, and we experimented a bit. (we were quite into "lets experiment on this" and not jsut rely on the Advertisements for efficacy of a few different herbal or 'alternative' medical options.) She mostly had tried it as an antibacterial, in ointment/cream form, for the many cuts and scrapes from wildcrafting the outdoors, and as part of a tincture of other herbal things taken orally. However, she stopped when she became pregnant, and worried about some spots which became -very slightly- grey over time (I believe it's called argyria?) where she kept getting open wounds from outdoor life. At that point, she stopped using it. Topically, it seemed to have worked better than nothing. In the case of a long scratch from briars getting partially treated, partially untreated, and partially with "Neosporin(tm)". The silver-treated cuts healed a bit faster than "nothing" cuts, and very slightly slower than the [drug-based?] antibacterial ointment cuts. Beyond that, I can't claim any more detailed first-hand experience.

I need to find a picture, but on one of the nature trails near my house they have little direction arrows with distances to the other sections of the park at each intersection of paths. Deep in the woods in the middle of one trail, is a signpost that points up, with the [average] distance to the Moon. I asked the park director once if they could adjust the sign since the moon tends to orbit and the sign points incorrect direction, and he laughed claiming I 'missed the point'. (I get it, but it was still funny) So, in reply, I helped make a sign that also pointed to Neverland, with the distance "straight until morning". Back on topic though, we all know M.O.O.N. That spells MagicDuel, right? #TheStand. :cool:

Hmm, I'm on the fence with this topic, but see that both sides will have strong arguments in their respective favors. Overall, I think such posting is 'allowed', in the same way that the recent forum topic "not illegal" but is one of those pesky grey-area ethical issues. (http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/14244-hard-n-phirm-not-illegal/?p=137738 ) I would generally be agaisnt such activity, without permission from the alt owners, since it seems most times such information is posted, it is in order to harass or otherwise irritate the person who's alt is "secret". However, as stated above, there's usually a reason such information is Outed as well. Ignoring reasons like "retribution of insults/abuse", I can also see some valid reasons for posting this sort of thing. Unfortunately, all of these reasons feel very subjective, and thus, are open to different interpretations on a case-by-case and person-by-person opinion. Inform the community of potential troublemaking. Might be good to know who you deal with? Share potential alt-abuse issues, for whatever reason (combat train/quest help, etc) But, I'd also love to hear other opinions on the topic. [spoiler]Over all of it, I still keep reminding myself that "MD is not a true democracy". There's a unique precident in the game of "spells can be used however you want". This has good and bad sides, but is something I rather like about MD itself. The rules are slightly different here, than "out there". And if Mur suddenly decides "ok, all folks who are nice are considered criminals, only Monarchs make rules, and can be arbitrary"... well, that will change MD a bit and make some folks leave, but would still be an interesting realm to work in, wouldn't it? [/spoiler]

I started this over the weekend. :P I'll PM you and see if it's appropriate format to what you were interested in, before finishing the rest of the command list.

I admit that I also made alts to experience a different version of MD. (partially a RP-reason, so be warned). My first batch of alts were stopped at teh end of MP4 as I was testing/exploring mapping out different StoryMode paths. That was fun, but I don't really consider them alts as they just got played to a point and abandoned. My others were to RP a bit of a different style of character, and challenge myself in a few different strategies. One remained MP3 and only used Barren Souls. I wanted to see if I could stay balanced, while helping out other MP3s with even random defenses being "non-damaging" and easy to grind on. That worked, except the whole "stay balanced thing" It would have worked if I spent more time with them, but I at least stay out of skill damage there. Another alt was meant to be a bit mean and snarky and took the Story into Necorivan (pesky gates changing shortly before I finished the Story, and locking from AP instead of keys! I didn't have as much fun as I initially thought trying to make oen character embody "the mean bits of me" so I mostly stopped playing them too. It was kinda fun seeing how people treat someone who was intentionally irritating, but not blatantly insulting. Another alt was a challenge to myself to see if I could communicate in a different way, and still have people understand, and feel like I was still "experiencing MD" as fully as I could. That experiment worked very well. I just wish I had more time to dedicate to both Maebius, and her. :P In my case, I would answer anyone who asked "are you an alt?", but never offered it freely. Not that I tried to keep it entirely secret, but I figured it wasn't necessary to openly share "Hey, I'm Maebius, and this is also me, and this one". I still play the characters the same way as I started, even once they are known. Some of them remained secret for far longer than I expected. There are MANY ways to 'play' this 'game' we call MagicDuel. That's the beauty of it.

*raises a pint of homebrew chicory porter* Cheers on your birthday!!

Happy happy birthday. :)

Well Sayed... no.. Said! :)

I used to tell this joke at Scout Camp every summer as it made me curse and rage when I first heard/read it, then laugh at the end.! Thanks for the nostalgia! -Nate/Maebius :cool: ;)

Alright, I'll jump on that wagon, before the world moves on again and goes all Nineteen.... :P “The quickest way to learn about a new place is to know what it dreams of.” “There will be water if God wills it.”

That was the thought that came to mind when I saw this topic, besides what's in my forum signature. :P Best first line I've ever read! Next one: What have we learned, the world is never as mad as it could be. If I leave my grin behind, remind me we're all mad here and it's ok!

The easiest way is to contact Council to remove your tag. \(that's how they get added as well, via Council [council])

Welcome back home! Glad you won your case as well. Healing's best sometimes where the heart is. Home. :)

Even after the pixels perish, the ripples interact unintendedly... Yep, that was me. :)

Yes, Bon Voyage. Keep fighting the good fight. :)
