[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]*raises his hand*[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]add me too! [/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]1 sold...[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]no tokens. and heat is not impressive, but they're maxed for mp4.[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]and no, sorry, guys. need only gold coins, nothing else. [/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]ok... actually i don't want to sell them, but i need a lot of gold... can't have them both atm i guess, so:[/font][/size] [s][b][size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Darkling I (245 age)[/font][/size][/b][/s] [u][size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]sold[/font][/size][/u] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][color=#282828]-------------------------[/color][/font][/size] [s][b][size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Darkling II (245 age)[/font][/size][/b][/s] [u][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][size=3]sold[/size][/font][/u] [color=#282828][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][size=3]-------------------------[/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][size=3]bid away, and lets see if there's anyone willing to buy them at all.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][size=3]oh, and the auction ends whenever GC gathering season ends...[/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][size=3]accepting only gold coins + gold coin notes.[/size][/font][/color]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i wonder how many potential players could be lost because of that... not like anyone cares, but still [/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]add some additional label "press F5 if you don't like your numbers" or something [/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]your "multitasking" is based on automatization of one of the tasks. there are many RL examples. by practicing the same task for tons of times you get to some point of perfection, and to accomplish it you need minimum attention. your ability to "multitask" in one sphere doesn't make you somehow better in "multitasking" overall, i.e. doesn't push your personality somewhere further, you just learn one of those tasks really good.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]also, tasks are of different complexity, hence you need different amount of time and capabilities to learn them. to take the same talking as a task - to talk about weather and to talk about quantum mechanics would require quite different attention, unless you're great in both. but then again - you're not so great in something else and that something else would be impossible to "multitask", though it is still the same talking task. typing while talking would not be so easy if the topic is not so common to you. also, talking while typing in some different language would get harder too - you can try that. the same with everything... if by cooking you mean chopping onions, peeling potatoes, or mixing your soup, then yes - you can think where you could take your girl this evening at the same time. these tasks are easy and have been learned near to perfection long time ago for most of us. those who never tried to chop an onion - don't try this at home. thinking ahead would also work only with simple tasks for you, such as driving, eating or typing something casual. but if you'd take something which requires more attention - everything would change.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]you can take circus juggler for example. while he could juggle and do almost anything else what doesn't require hands (talk, ride bicycle, take a nap...), and that could look like a miracle for most of us, he would not be able to type and do the same other tasks; though almost any of us would look like a miracle to him here. it's just that we've done different things for a lot of times, and know them better, but our "multitasking" as skill is not increased, switch sides if you want to be sure.[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i'm not much into psychology myself, but i'm pretty sure about one thing - there's no such thing as multitasking in human brain. this term came up with computing science, and while processor (or even multiple) can split a task into parts and prioritize ordered batch of parallel tasks without dividing it's potential to "think", human would take 2 (or more) tasks as one, i.e. reading a book, listening to radio and discussing about global warming with his wife would be as one single complex task. it would not be split and prioritized as some chunks of info, it would be just executed all at once and would be really (or even too) hard for a human being to cope with. as a result human would still concentrate on one chosen task, while trying to do bits of others with way (WAY) less success than he would do them separately.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i know, you can say that "i can drive a car and talk on phone", but you would not be doing 2 jobs, it still would be one, aggregate job. where driving requires only a bit of attention, you would still be losing that bit on talking to someone even in casual conversations, and in a bit more extreme driving situations you might catch yourself talking bullshit on your phone or starting to move that direction . and in opposite situation, if you have some essential conversation, you're moving into a big risk on driving part.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]you can test this. take 2 your friends and ask one to name 10 random words and another 10 random numbers at the same time. try to write them down after they finish. you can do those tasks pretty easy if they go 1 by 1 separately.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]now it would be easier to talk, if you could say exactly what you decide as multitasking? what would be your RL example? anyways, you could split those tasks and do them separately one after another and you would grow way stronger as a specialist in all those spheres then trying to do everything at the same time.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]the only thing i see for "multitasking" people is - they might get stronger and more adapted to stressful situations.[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]oh, thanks SS, managed to forget that part [/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]but then... [/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][quote name='Muratus del Mur' timestamp='1327020923' post='101302'][/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]... and even void ongoing auctions if any (nobody loses anything ofc)[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][/quote][/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]means the rest of auctions will be just canceled? just making sure, as the answer to this would answer the one in Eon's shop reset thread too [/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]untill when this will last?[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i have similar question: lets say, i have 30 gc, can i "bid" like 20 of them for few made up wishes?[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i want something A for 20gc[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i want something B for 20gc[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i want something C for 20gc[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]and then concentrate on one i can win if someone overbids, so leaving other 2 for others or voiding them? [/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i think it's closer to what Eon is trying to do (just a guess), and i'm not telling he can not, just wandering - can i? [/font][/size] [font="verdana, geneva, sans-serif"][size=3]it doesn't look like someone gets hurt from such an action - it's just an offer of possible idea you can buy, and initial lowest price for it.[/size][/font] [font="verdana, geneva, sans-serif"][size=3]if none wants it and i refuse to pay for it at the end, well... none gets hurt - that was my idea for myself primarily, no harm for others.[/size][/font] [font="verdana, geneva, sans-serif"][size=3]this way just offers some sort of wider market of possible ideas/wishes someone is not able to come up with, but might want to buy it when he see it.[/size][/font]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]welp, as topic says. not the best time, but... [/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]rate: 1gc = 5cr. [/font][/size][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][size=3]PM with your offers if you'd like to exchange some.[/size][/font]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]it's 100% because of your long list of crits... try making an alt and sac 3 crits - look how long that will take. loading so many flash objects takes time...[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]it would be great if you could mark creatures in your global list with an option "NO! i would not EVER like to sac THESE ones", or something like that [/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]that would save you from 2 major disasters: sacing your precious accidentally and trying to sac 40 of something with intervals of 10 secs. [/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]+ prepared list could lead to even more comfortable ways of sacrificing.[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i still don't get this... how to get the final answer: "[color=#282828]*drum roll*"? [/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]solved till poem, but had no clue how to find out the "magic numbers"...[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]anyways, i feel the same like xrieg - confused. thought alliances are like ideological societies, communities of people accomplishing similar purpose. like lands just more specific.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]now it looks like it's just a colorful badge with some benefits. more like strategical item. belongs to anyone who manages to take it one way or another. the name and purpose is totally unimportant.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]how to put this simple... i wouldn't be surprised anymore if i see Eon running with "Guardians of the Root" (read it carefully once more) badge, though i still would be confused. *shrugs*[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i'd join any other alliance to test that. if someone would invite me for that cause of course [/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i'd buy both priests for 10 sc[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]i guess people would start taking the story line depending on the creature they want. new ones would start re-rolling their chars just to get the wannable creature [/font][/size] [font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][size=3]not all of course, but many of them [/size][/font]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]this is the answer to FS question, not to Esmaraldas [/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]well, it's obvious! this citizen will be "insert like 20 random words here"...[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]the situation is more then comical. anyways, what Eon and his gang are trying to prove (or at least what conclusion can be done) - "take it while it is possible or it will be taken by someone else" is the only option for now. in other words - be bad or poor. nothing can be done without the intervention of higher authorities. [u]nothing[/u]. there are no land rulers, no authorities with higher powers to expel someone out from the land for a longer period. so everyone is free to go anywhere they want and take whatever they want. he/she/it can be stopped for a pathetic period of time in which no resource will grow, and if it will by some miracle - it will be gathered in the next second when depleter regains his freedom. and he will... and you can't take away all the tools from them. at least not the ones residing in LR/MDA. i can move my char to the place with tools few hours before respawn, log out and then log in just the next second after respawn and take the tool i want in 2-3 secs. who could manage to stop me from doing this in such time period? you can design any scenario with available powers for mortals ATM to protect the tools or resources, and i will tell you how i'll go around it... unless you take them by yourself... or you can try to poke the villain till death, heh...[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]it's too easy to be a villain in this game. from what i saw till now it's pretty much the same as in RL: the one who has/takes a million - walks free, the one who picks up an apple from the ground - goes to jail. and i'm not talking about sponsorships or RL money! [/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]no, you don't! you see 7 + ~1/10... [/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]oh, then i would bid 3gc for SW[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]sure, here:[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]SW: ~3gc. the fact that none overbid my 3gc for so long talks for itself + here are few links to SW market (took the first ones i found):[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/11224-wts-sw/"]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/11224-wts-sw/[/url][/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/6618-wtst-a-lot-of-creats-incl-sw-claw3s-etc/"]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/6618-wtst-a-lot-of-creats-incl-sw-claw3s-etc/[/url][/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/11242-wts-reinrustsantasw/"]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/11242-wts-reinrustsantasw/[/url][/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/7263-wtb-sw/"]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/7263-wtb-sw/[/url][/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]other prices you can search on your own, but i'm pretty sure rusty goes for ~4gc, sharpie is way less then gc.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]anyways i don't want to prove that you're right or wrong with those prices, all i want to say - price is a subjective thing, and most of us can't read others mind.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]if you had said that in your first post what you've just told in yours last - everything would be clear to everyone [/font][/size]
