She did ask for sensible replies... My suggestino would be to keep consistent in your actions. Even the most extreme RP is acceptable by some, if you keep to it. Darigan is a dragon, after all, and his avatar showed that. Get an idea in your head, remember to at least keep a flaw or two, so it's not a god-modding overpowered sort,. There are many 'types' or roleplaying here in the realm, and I consider dst as playing her role quite well, though some argue that's not "roleplaying". and most importantly, have fun! If you are enjoying it, then it's the "correct" way to play, I think.

Hmm, I wish I had a better thought, but my only one is that at MP3, Change loved evenness as a counter-point to the oddness of Mind Power. In time, Change grew to a solidly earthy Mind Power Four. This began the shift to higher thoughts, and the simple balance of even pairings shifted to the dynamics of the Odds. Others before me explained it much better already, so I'll refer you to the similar comments above. At Mind Power Five, the stability of the four is re-enforced by that extra one. It was a natural progression of love. Like a moebius strip is 'flat' and one dimentional, yet curled to the third dimension, but starts as a plane of 2D paper.... Grapes want to turn to wine. Evens attract the Odds, and together, even out again. Eventually, Change will embrace both, together, but not quite yet.

Pondering my vote, but hopefully this will be vaguely representative. If you agree/support Coubncil. I encourage you to also Vote this. Negativity is easier to say, it seems, online. Positivity is also vital to record. Balance, and all that. On a more serious note, I am quite curious to see the results of this once I sleep on the topic a bit. Thanks Awi!

If wishes were open-ended, beyond "finish the other stuff first" which would be my most appropriate suggestion: I would, however, also like to see powers and abilities and spells more utilized. As Fyrd menton, put the power in the hands of who really holds it, but may not realize it. The Players. Spells and trade functions and such in clickables would ROCK, and really add to the magic aspect of magicduel. Charge a clickable like a SpellStone, perhaps? Or re-interpret MDscript to use a locked-down SQL table per user instead of arrays of arrays (to avoid multithreading, simplify functions, possibly save variable storage space?) Basically: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/5453-clickable-objects-features/page__st__20#entry45881

Nothing to add here, except to agree completely with the above. Blessings and Light, now, and throughout the new year!

Hm.... feel the need to reply here, and second Samon. This is an odd one. On one hand, christmas Eve jailings seem a bit petty. Particularly if the explanation of holding stones for BMMORPG is valid, since I do know there were issues with the trade codes of them before when TK leadership shifted, it broke before when a TK traded out of treasuries, etc...and Fang did not have direct access to a Treasury while being Dead. Samons idea of "Reminder pls?", even if sent via those fancy in-game PMs from ourselves (Postman, Santa, God-accnt?, etc). I'll have to do some more in-depth searching but probably can find forum-posts to support that argument as it sounds like something I'd read before a month or two ago. On the other hand, I'm guessing "Hey, I demand you do this nao!" is probably not the best way to phrase your defense arguments... (I'd write it off as well-understood frustration to waking up to such an announcement at this time of year, just when "the fun stuff" was going on, though.) What's done is done, but I wanted to share my perspective, as an outside observer. Jailing is perhaps needed for the crime. I only question the timing, and if the situation could be re-worked to teach a lesson about leading groups and being email-smarter, which seems to be a sticking point to communications with Fang. MD teaches us many things. Sometimes harshly, sometimes not, but there are usually ways to lessen the sting of lessons, and still make them stick.

This is fun!!!!

How to start: try any clickie, and some scene names. I found one at semi-random that way.

Yep, every year we watch this. Thanks for sharing!

Ditto, ditto! May your day be the happiest happy you've ever happy'd. ... or something.

(yes, it's pretty darn short. Still not 100% as active as I could be in MD, due to Life outside) If you can see your friends partying around the decorated "tree", it is the end of the quest. You can change the friends you see by entering different names, just for fun, but I'd like to have your "top five" people you chat with, friend OR foe, near the end of the month. There's some linking of names going on behind the scenes there, for ...um... [size=2]some other things next month..[/size].. So enjoy the minor mini-quest this month, and keep your Energy up for the other Holiday Celebrations and quests coming up soon!

The moon beyond the realm of MD is growing dark, so it's time for another Maebius Madness. This month is kinda short and easy, and not as coherent as I'd hoped, but Life keeps Happening. So, for a quick one-day's worth of distraction/entertainment, here we go.... Go to the [i]Signpost [/i]outside of [b]Willow's Shop[/b], and tell it "[b]Madness[/b]". Simple as that. There will be a few minor prizes under the "tree" later on, when the quest completes, so I hope you try it and enjoy!

Necro-thread Activate! Happy Birthday Yrth! (see, now you don't have to create a new thread, Pipstickz! )

But then we could find Mur! I've run into the situation a few times searching for things like "heat", but there are ways around it with different search terms, or using quotes, or multiple keywords. Good suggestion though, but seeing as some other forums I use have the same sort of "feature", I think it may be difficult to remove here on this one, as it's there for a reason. Never hurts to ask though!

Happy Happies for your Birthday!

I'll be offline sadly, all the times suggested, out of state with family again for the solstice, but agree that most folks seem to be awake on "weekends". Whenever it happens, I'll cheer you all on and celebrate in thought!

Seek the Magic Duel Archives, farther north of Wind's Sanctuary. You may need to be patient, or have some Spicy Pickles.

I would support this whole-heartedly. I know your brief stint in the monkey-guild (Gorillas Golemus[sic] ) was for the game-mechanics assistance, and always consider you "part of MB" forever. I hope to see you apply again. I missed the last voting due to my inactivity, but wanted to publicaly state my support here too, just in case.

I work in a call center as I.T. support, and don't envy the customer service folks when they deal with "those customers" at all. *shudders.*

169) Contrary to popular belief, Angiens are the real Shades, and the spooky things in that dry desert are the ones who created this realm.

(edited for better spacing and format, no changes to actual nominations made) Adventuring Award - My nomination already listed. Best Beautification - My nomination already listed. Champion Fighter - My nomination already listed, argh! Fossil of the year - Awiiya definitely! The Golden Protector - Peace, without fail Helper of the Year - Dark Demon always offers to help, and my other choice is already listed. Most Addicted - Dark Demon is an obvious choice in my mind Most Popular - hmm.... Fang Archbane. Everyone knows him, and we are always talking about him. (if Popular is re-defined as liked... I may have to change this, but I saw Eon there too, so figure it fits) Outstanding Service to MD - BFH Lightning, (because I can't nominate Chewy for his foruming) Pre-eminent Role Player - Ackshan Bemunah springs immediately to mind for me, as a not-yet-nominated-but-should-be. Prime Quest - Awiiya for his "get a bubble weaver after doing my quest" quests, which were varied and fun and are sorely missed. Rookie of the year - My nomination already listed. Top Techie - does Master of Ceremonies count, for Kake and all the other 'techie craftables?' (probably falls under the mur/rendril/etc restriction, sadly)

Oh, oh, Stalk me! and I'll repeat what DST didn't quite say. Show me yours I'll show you mnie.. or something. [size=2](that came out wrong.. but I needed the funny today) [/size]

Here they are, for your perusal. [log='soap?!']First of all: I took Barren Souls's card. While those empty shells do not represent a problem, my biggest concern is about Grasans. To win a war against them is to win a war against stench and obesity (two big problems of our modern world). Few already noticed this, but we're getting overwhelmed by those farting fatties. They are rude, they fart loud, they are strong… They are to be exterminated. Now, how to do that in an elegant yet paradoxical way? How to turn something fat and smelly into perfumed and neat artifacts? Angiens are said to represent both the question and the answer, hence Angiens will be. Few Angiens, fueled with high VE, could burn those Grasans and turn them all into soap bars. Flowers and aromatic plants would then add a fresh fragrance to these bars, spreading freshness in the whole realm. [/log] [log='Compromise']Well, the battle will never actually end since once I got posed the question, I was no longer allowed to assist in the battle. As such, one only has a day to influence the outcome. If that was not the case, through cooperation we can have everyone win. We all talk to each other and decide which side should win first, and support that side. All the people on that side win. Then the remaining people then support the other two sides, one by one. Eventually everyone wins. Unless of course, you expect that once a side wins, the quest ends. In that case, you also compromise and decide which side should win, and split the spoils. The threat of not compromising is the equivalent of the US congress where everyone digs in and nothing gets done. it's better to have some of the spoils, then be fore-ever locked in conflict. In the end, compromise and cooperation wins. [/log] [log='three ideas, hmm?'] Hello Maebius. I was trying to find out some ways in order for the creatures i've sided with in this war (the barren souls) will manage to win it. The main problem as i saw it are the grassans, who seem to be winning for now and who we (the barren souls) can't win against to shift the balance . Here is some ideas on how it can be done: Idea 1 : The first idea is to persuade you (Want some candy? to change that code so no other creature still exists If you just remove from that code the grassans and the aramors, my work is done. There are no enemies, so there is no war Victory!!! But i have a feeling that this won't happen, so lets try some other possibilities .... Idea 2: The second idea that came to my mind would be to try and find some allies. Even though i'd totally prefer (in regards to power) those drachs over GG, i'm afraid that if they decide to turn against us we will have no chance .... so i don't really trust them. Considering the fact that we (the barren souls) have a unique way to fight in this battle (we are the only healers , so we are the only ones that use the power stat ) i would say the best ally we could get would be ........ The Tormented Souls, what else ? With their ability to weaken the opponent (i'm taking the aura as it is described and not for what it actually does, cause that's how it suits me right now ofc ) grassans will no longer have a chance against us !!!! Victory again! And here one more idea on how to win this : Idea 3: As i mentioned earlier, the grassan is our main problem. So here is a solution. Against the grassan fights, we will send only one soldier instead of 2. One may not be enough to win, but at least he won't lose either. At the same time, the other one will go and hunt down aramors in order to gain wins and heat and lvl up. Once it becomes a Hollow Warrior, it will go back to the fight with the grassan and kill the Barren soul left behind *laughs evilly * Mouhahaha! Work is done! Hollow Warrior should be more than enough to kill both aramor and grassan, while grassan will no longer be able to retaliate, this time it's one on one! Victory again! [/log] [log='simple balance']Thoughts on how to 'win' the war.. In war as in many things ( if not all ) your actions towards others tend to be replied by them in a equivalent manner. Balance tends to prevail, as such "winning" a war may be achieved but surely at the cost of losing something. [/log] [log='drachs!']I'll ask about game mechanics & i suggest one bring drachorns and freezerrs into picture.. *chuckles* out of game, I think balance is better than wining.... for some reason I didnt like to see zero percent aramours or Barrens[/log] I know I got a PM from EagleEye also, since we went back & forth a few times to discuss his thoughts....but can't seem to find it in my PMs. (was it a forum convo I accidentally deleted? Do you have a copy still?) But, that's all I had archived from the past month. Each of you wins a coin as soon as I can get in-game again to break a Note I have. I see some shifting around of TK issues, so if I needed help splitting that into individual coins, who would you recommend I contact? (or have them PM me on forums). Thanks all, and I hope I will throw something together this month, (that is less clickie-based), to continue the monthly trend. [size=2]Thanks also for understanding the delay and idleness on my part recently.[/size]
