If someone can break a 10-gold note, I would offer 4 Gold for the Angien, and a gold for the "Necro Crit Bundle" of 2Tormented Souls and Priest. While I do not have the required years for the Angien, if necessary, I will forward my offer as "Sponsorship "(assuming the Note can be split into parts) to any other Marind Bell vet, in order to also keep it's history tied to my Land. The Necrovion creatures, I just want off the market. If I can't make change, I'll retract the offer, since I can't split the 10G note myself right now.

Have fun and don't worry, all these new Protectors will keep things running for you!

Two silver coins. *smiles* but if I win, can I hold the ITC and offer it as a reward for my quest, to keep as much Age as I can in the egg for the next owner?

Enjoy the trip, roughed or in fancy leisure.

Thanks Fyrd, I should have been more clear in the reward offerings. Oops! (I live, I learn, right? ) There is a Wishpoint up for grabs, to be determined by vote and lottery from among those who complete the quest within the first month. (starting from the date the first person finishes, the names within 30 days will be listed below. So "First" is not necessary, but not slacking off is recommended). Particularly good answers to a certain phase of the quest, regarding Principle Scenes, will have an extra name added to the hat, to slightly increase your odds. (Good answers to be voted on my SoE members and the Queen, fyi) Six Runners up will receive Angiens of various ages, supplied by myself, Queen Kets, and a generous sponsor. (potentially more if any other sponsors pop in.) Further completions of the Quest will also have various rewards to be provided, after the initial round of winners is chosen, so please have Patience. If there is something specific you want, feel free to ask and I'll work to procure it. -Maebius, a Seeker of Enlightenment [i](All those who complete the Quest will hopefully learn stuffs and enjoy themselves, so that's it's own reward, right? Right? [/i] )

(edits to add post-scripted comments below) For those curious minds, young and old, I have finally put the finishing touches on that little Quest you've possibly gotten tired of hearing me chatter on about recently. [b]Beginning at the Marble Dale Park[/b], you should see it in the Signpost clickie there. Of course, with all the other notes stuck to that sign, I'd recommend you "[s]Search behind the Sign[/s]" now Click on the Signpost for the particular scribblings I left there and look at the "[b]A Little Tour of Sorts...[/b]" document there. [color=#0000ff]It begins simple with a riddle.[/color] [color=#008000]It ends with victorious battles[/color]! While being fairly newbie friendly, I do hope that it appeals to all the folks of the Realm, with it's various challenges. Mind Power 3 can complete it, with a little help and some minor knowledge of Heat. There is a Wishpoint up for grabs, to be determined by vote and lottery from among those who complete the quest within the first month. (starting from the date the first person finishes, the names within 30 days will be listed below. So "First" is not necessary, but not slacking off is recommended).Particularly good answers to a certain phase of the quest, regarding Principle Scenes, will have an extra name added to the hat, to slightly increase your odds. A number of Runners up will receive Angiens of various ages, supplied by myself, Queen Kets, and a generous sponsor. [color=#ff0000][u][b]The Prize lottery will end Friday, October 14th, at 23:59 server time.[/b][/u][/color] I would also ask participants to avoid using Alts to help complete some sections of this quest, as that defeats the spirit of the challenges. I'd recommend keeping this limited to your Main character only, please. Let the Tour begin! -Maebius PS: If bugs or errors or other strange-ness discovered, I am willing to put up silver, crits, and other compensation for the problematic points pointed out. Contact me to discuss such details as needed. As my first attempt at quest-making, any feedback, both friendly and flaming, is appreciated. There are a good number of folks in the final stages, but Plenty of time to start it and still be eligible for the WP Lottery. [i]PPS: Mighty Pirate has completed the quest in its entirety, and has been awarded a Cup of Aromatic Tea, for his help in testing and bug-hunting (as well as still being eligible for the WP lottery as he was not given any help)[/i].

Would this be what you were remembering? <<----------------

I'll try to translate (as I see it). Chat message when someone depletes a resource. -similar to the chat message when items are passed between characters. "[i]Maebius depleted the Herbs[/i]!" or similar? 25% regeneration twice a day instead of 50% once a day (-probably unlikely-) - I kinda like this idea, as it would not quite double the resource regeneration. 25% + 25% doesn't quite equal 50% but it would give folks in different timezones a chance to catch a regen 'tick' perhaps? Random ideas: Skilldamage off button >_>.. invisible on friend list option -needs to check if this one was suggested before- - unrelated to the subject of post. Still interesting suggestions ... I doubt they would be implemented though.

If only it did not say [i]Must[/i]. Or... is it implying that if there exists a current MP7, I am breaking the rules by NOT worshiping them now?!

The text displayed to choose a Protector to Worship reads as follows: [quote]Type in the playername you will worship. Player must be Mindpower 7 and you will get in a close gaming relationship with him. You must respect and obey your protector, denying your protectors wishes or changing him will cost you dearly. Your protector will have life and death powers over you.[/quote] Minor thing, but (unless this is changing soon?) it should say MindPower 6, who are currently the Protectors we worship.

I'm reminded of my favorite Rocky Horror quote here, for some reason: Don't Dream it, Be it! Anyway, I'm happy to trade, try, or tease whenever you find me in the realms, playing my slowly self-defining Role. It's out there, just waiting for folks to speak up or use stars around it. As we will, So Emote it Be. /|\

While I really like this feature, I agree that it should be off by default. Both PMs I received while offline today apparently went straight to my SPAM folder, and I only noticed them when looking for an unrelated message a friend was to have sent me (which I thought might filter as Spam). Now that I know about it though, Great idea! I'll jsut second, third, or seventh the concern about spam and a bad reflection of MD overall for newer folks.

Happy Happy Anniversary (of you being born!)

I will offer 2 silver for your silver. A two for one special! w00t!

I wonder if there is a way to get uv("Principles") or similar. I know it's listed in our Profile Pages by default, so somewhat publically accessible, and since the User Variables are read-only, I doubt they can be used to 'hack' our characters, but I was hoping to be able to compare the Principles someone took. Not in terms of specific ones, but in a general sense. drat!

Interesting idea... Drywater, or regular Water, or... ? I'm not sure though. The location is remote enough it may not cause issues, but depending on the cost might de-value water resources a bit. Better mercantile minds would know better this sort of thing though.

*tips his hat and tries to avoid forum RP* Thanks boss! Proud to be a recruit, and even prouder to have earned my wings now!

I always imagined this was more to the fact that it 'forced' us to share, and organize communities. Similar to how PMs and such are limited to "in person, or recently so" contact in-game. With the concept of alt abuse trying to be avoided, and Viscosity making us work together, I always figured Resources were an additional "feature" of that same theme. Make friends, or at least business relationships, with the other minds of MD out here. Thanks Mur!
