[quote name='Indyra' timestamp='1302518957' post='82335'] still for sale bump! [/quote] I'll underbid my usual 1 SC for Angien #4 Also, 2 SC for either of the first two, (since #3 has been bid on so far)

[quote name='Kyphis the Bard' timestamp='1302330262' post='82203'] I would be interested in: Research, Seed Hunting, and the Manual Labor involved in setting up a garden. [/quote] I know a certain character of mine would love to help out with this too. Excellent idea!

Be Well, in whatever realms you stay active in. I'll have to switch who I worship now, once I push enough Heat to you.

[quote name='samon' timestamp='1302211314' post='82110'] I made a new using the old forum header as inspiration, I also slightly edited the last one to emphasize MagicDuel a bit more. Here is the new one: [attachment=2770:MD serious 1.1 small.jpg] [/quote] this is my favorite thus far. Very nice.

[quote name='Ravenstrider' timestamp='1302099984' post='82014'] Story mode clearly states you are projected into MD from your RL self. Yes, our characters are a version of ourselves, but no, you can't be an elf from Middle Earth (or wherever)... (snip) Sharazhad, wanting MD to be a fairy tale land doesn't mean it should be. It's not real if one person still thinks you're imagining things and has arguments to support his or her claim. [/quote] I've viewed the realm as a somewhat mixture of both Ravenstrider's comments and yet make allowances for the occasional elf or dragon to manifest as well in the realm, even if filtered through the perception of a non-sane perception. (not meant as an insult, belief in being a dragon means you [b]are[/b] a dragon, with the same Authority as if others share the belief in your Dragonness with others, and Raven's belief that you are not. This is a both/and world, not an either/or, in my mind. As for creatures, I believe them to be also both extensions of our faceted personality, in an allegorical sense, AND individual "pets" who maintain an existence quite apart from our own. I will have to write out these thoughts more fully, since it's difficult to put into short words, and my opinion is ever-evolving the more time I spend in this MagicDuel realm.

I hope to -soon- be able to script, (once I get another wishpoint if I understand the process correctly?). But I know a few programming languages, and can be available to bounce pseudo-code off of if anyone's interested.

[quote name='ERO' timestamp='1302090638' post='81995'] Selling an Fresh Blood Pact Archer...post your bids... [/quote] Again, I'll start the underbidding at 1 Silver Coin!

I'm much more interested in the Water Beings. Something tells me their snaky hair is quite interesting in it's involvement of the process. Or they are like worms, and hermaphroditic.

[quote name='Mighty Pirate' timestamp='1302081622' post='81986'] Every evening I tell my kids a bedtime story. Sometimes they are inspired by MagicDuel. Once I told a story of a bird egg which became a powerful bird or the story of a pirate arriving at an island where drachorns live. Any ideas for nice MD-related bedtime stories can be posted here. Please share your ideas, you will make many kids happy. [/quote] I once told three, similar to the following to my own young one. Once upon a time there was a wise man who collected memories and stories, to share with the other people of the realm. Blah blah, insert wise LifeStory here about avoiding battles and solving problems with words instead of weaponry, etc... Eventually, he became a sturdy tree, each grain of wood a thought, each leaf a memory, etc. One upon a time there was a lady who tended the tree, and collected seeds from a maple, an oak, and a willow. She worked hard to gather the tools needed for her job of tending the seeds, and planted them safely around the lands, to grow strong, etc etc. One upon a time there was a man with a stepladder, who found himself in a strange land. He dreamed of lady ghosts, and met all sorts of wonderful friends, somne with magic, some were dragons, and some were wolves! He thought himself weak, but every day he explored the land, and grew in knowledge and wisdom. Each evening he would rest on his stepladder, trying ot climb above the troubles of the realm. Then, one day, he realized the steps weren't leading to Heaven, because he was already there. This place was his heaven, surrounded by friends and magic and dragons. A great place to spend the rest of his years. The end.

I can only re-direct you to the few small images in my gallery, while I try to find the camera dump CD with much more interesting pictures on it...

No, no, see it's brilliant. If you reverse teh colours of the screen, that white space is black. And if you look closely, you cna see a shady reflection of yourself in it! It's a shade?! *smacks monitor with some empty aramors and run away screaming* (and yes, it's 3:40am and I'm over-tired. but this was fun!)

[quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1302019896' post='81911'] Its rather ironic how you mention "calculating it yourself" and then get the date wrong. [/quote] Yep. I'll take the rap for it. I did actually calculate things using a calendar I grabbed, and ..er... as stated above, was off by a year. Life's been rather hectic lately with layoffs and shifting schedules lately. Oops! Honest mistake. I should have shown my work, for at least partial credit. Please close, lock and totally obliterate this thread if you so wish. Sheesh...

What of a lovely Water Guardian 1 . ID 704050 Stored Heat 10613 Age 60

[quote name='awiiya' timestamp='1301942064' post='81834'] I think you are off a year? Easter last year was on April 4th (in the Catholic church and I believe most others), this year it is on the 24th. Awi [/quote] Hmm, I blame my new job, and now being on night-shift. Had my wife convinced it was Easter this weekend too. So.. Double Candy for us this year! Woo. /facepalm

That strange shifty day celebrated by many in the western world.

I wonder what the cut-off is for that 'abuse scandal". Judging by personal experience and some park chatter, us newer folks are innocent, unlike you corrupt vets under investigation. (Seems not all got that announcement, myself included)

How apt, to be born this day. Happy Birthday wishes, Jester.

[quote name='bfh lighthing' timestamp='1301608951' post='81576'] If I haven't told you this: WELCOME!! [/quote] ...and a fond "hello and welcome" from me as well.

[quote name='Thief of Truth' timestamp='1301611860' post='81577'] Awesome~! Any pointers as for playing? I love the concepts, but they leave me a bit...befuddled. [/quote] Well, I'll second that MagicDuel is not your typical online game. In fact, I'm finding it less a "game" intirely, and more a rather interesting community wrapped around a game-ish framework. Few hints: Patience. That's kinda important it seems. Good things come to those who wait, or persevere, or are dedicated and consistent or some-such. I'd tell you a few more but am afraid you'd steal the nuggets of Truth and I'd be left with only lies. Your name, is such, after all. Welcome to the enigma that is Magic Duel. I'm a newer player myself, and it's a wonderful, confusing, and enlightening place here.

[quote name='Rhaegar Targaryen' timestamp='1296983486' post='78531'] please be patient people, the quest isn't forgotten Emerald is having tests in RL, and had a fever recently too, as soon as he normalizes his activities, best works will be choosen. [/quote] I wonder, will the entries be kept private, or would shared information be allowed among the participants of this quest, once the results are made public? Either option is fine by me, but I would be willing to offer my thoughts after the contest, for further discussion and critiques.

I'll start the underbidding at 1 Silver for each. If the bidding goes higher, I am of course interested in upping the bid further... lets see who else is interested.

Tormented soul is no longer on the market. Thanks for the offers all. Other creatures gone.. please close topic?

Welcome! There is plenty of chat, once your Story sets you free. Few quick notes: Be patient. Don't rush through things, and take your time. This isn't your average online game.

[quote name='Phear the Wolf' timestamp='1300886928' post='81154'] nah, I'm way to busy and waaay to lazy to do all that... you can send me a ss with the before-after, or a video, or just tell me you did, whatever... also, they will be fresh, the remain and the water beeing, forgot to mention [/quote] Sacrificed, and screenshotted (open the biglog for the images below) [log=Log Box Name][img]http://everthorn.net/musings/images/sacced_for_Phear.PNG[/img][/log] /Weep

[quote name='lone wolf pup' timestamp='1300827681' post='81108'] I'll trade 2 aged trees for the angien egg if you haven't sold it already.. over a year of age. [/quote] Well, the Angien Egg went really fast... sorry, it's sold now. Updated the listing on first post. The other creatures, including my last [b]Tormented Soul[/b] are still up for grabs if anyone's interested. (Xrieg, I'd be willing to do a one-creature trade with you, per your PM... I'll PM you in-game soon as I find you) @Phear Wolf... um... I'm rather intrigued by your offer. Would you want to meet at the Fenth's Press to witness the deed yourself, or take my word if I do sacrifice something?
