Else

For context:
Me and DR both have our plans to become king of LR. With the current low population there isn't really anyone to decide between us. I sent him my plans and he pretty much agreed with everything so it's not like we can debate our way out of this.
So he suggested a popular vote. I'm generally opposed to outsiders deciding over internal matters, but in this case I think it could land the new monarch more legitimacy...
If you have any questions or concerns that you want addressed from either of us, feel free to post them here.
Let the dice fall where they may.

Due to current citizenship status of Lore Root, it is open to all to cast a vote. Those who vote, ask questions, challenge the two opposing candidates. Maybe Eggdar can run an analysis on the two parties, and shed some Eggy knowledge of the two.
Pole set to end Friday the 13.

every time wiiya (or anything else) gets depleted - substract min.10 gc from depleters inventory into our treasury. Problem solved...two problems even :P

Awii isn't coming back unless he explicitly said he would be.
Do not lie.

I am glad to say that the Undermined Foundations came to 300 (full), so I guess we can use it now. Please do not take it below 200 and if your tool has 1 minute cd (or similar, you get the idea) please think about the rest too....



Wiiya still has a long way to go , please do not gather yet 👀

I, Samon, in name of the people of the realm, hereby officially declare an open rebellion of the dead against the tyranny of graveyard keeper Blackshade Rider.
In this post I shall explain the why. Here I will explain what this will mean for the dead in practice.

As many of you know I have spent more time dead than anyone else in this realm. Over the last decade the days I have been alive are few and far between. The dead are more dear to me than anything else in the realm. I have also been the most outspoken opponent to a king in the Dead.
Then why, you might ask, was I there during the protest in the graveyard?
After being appointed graveyard keeper it quickly became clear that Blackshade does fancy himself king of the Dead and does not condone any detractors.

The accusations
A short list of Blackshade Rider's many transgressions in the run up to the protest are:
Countless unprovoked insults to many different people, in particular, but not exclusively, when they showed interest in the Dead.
Involuntary resurrections
Silencing over minor disagreements
Spread lies about his detractors
Threatened the existence of his Necrovion neighbours when they offered cooperation
Shared that he used an exploit to gain more Marigold flowers than he should. This exploit has since been fixed. See: https://magicduel.com/page/Announcement/view/6725
Furthermore Blackshade Rider falsely claimed that he is the only person to care about the dead, despite there being a plethora of people that have been intimately involved with the dead.
First and foremost the Caretakers, especially Aelis, Mallos, Sephirah, Lashtal and, until very recently, Ledah and Myself
Aside from them, whenever I died I would immediately receive offers of help from Syrian, Seigheart, Fang and many others.
And in the past there have been too many more to name all of them.

The protest and its aftermath
Both his behaviour, his violent possessiveness and the appearance of unfair advantages created a lot of anger among the people. So much so that something happening became an inevitability.
This caused 22 people to gather on the day of the protest. Virtually everyone who was awake at the time.
While there were many jokes being made, the sentiment behind the protest was dead serious. My hope was that this would cause some reflection by those who's actions caused this.
The opposite appears true.
In the aftermath:
- The one alliance that has truly consistently cared for the dead has been destroyed under slanderous accusations.
- The meticulously placed marigold flowers have been uprooted and seemingly randomly scattered across a new land.
Not a single shred of self reflection has been shown so far by those who created the situation that led to the protest.

The rebellion
This is why I, in name of the people of realm, see no other option than to start an open rebellion in the Dead until Blackshade Rider has been removed from his position as graveyard keeper and some of the most harmful changes to the dead have been reversed. Finally I demand apologies from both Mur and Blackshade to Aelis and the Caretakers. They have been the most active alliance in MD by far over the past 2 months and I will not stand for this slander.
I will only support Blackshade to retake his position if he shows he can deal respectfully with both the living and the dead and injustice has been rectified.

Praise the shades.
Samon

P.s. While the blame for some of this lays with Mur, there will be plenty of opportunity to discuss that in another thread soon.

There were some trials and tribulations along the way...
But is this streak devilish enough for The Mark of the Beast?

Just test printed the Sapwrack Snailbloom model. While a few errors needed to be fixed from the 3d model, it came out beautifully Ignore the snail trail, he just came out of an alcohol bath lol

I would gladly help, but you know... its me. lol

While I respect the ambition that some ppl from LOTE clearly have I dont see how you want to claim stewardship of The Dead when all you did was invade it without showing any respect which lead us to a mess.......

All you are trying to do is monopolize lands, auctions, tools.

It really seems he wants to own everything bit by bit

It would be nice to have images of custom amounts of silver/gold coupons.

Let us know the stack size without clicking the item:

I guess it is good that I overslept and couldn't join.
With the graveyard being an extension of Necrovion, humans barging in there and trying to claim stuff certainly raises some eyebrows. And we can see from the announcement that your little stunt got the shades' attention... All I'm saying is, don't cry to me if you get yourselves kicked out again.

Even though I missed some of the fiery bits, as a Caretaker and long-standing (not old!) citizen of the East, I personally think this has been a lot of fun!
As Kaya and Syrian already pointed out, the East has a close relationship with Death through the Caretakers, so I find it very natural that the East should take on the stewardship of The Dead - even if temporary. I applaud our gracious Duke for taking the initiative, and everyone who supported it.

Now, as the current Caretakers leader, I would like to issue an official statement:
In light of the events described above and their aftermath, as announced in https://magicduel.com/page/Announcement/view/6752,
the Caretakers will turn our attention to tending to the land of The Dead and its people, just as we have been doing with the Lands of the East over the years.
This will be particularly important during the current transitional period, when the self-revival route may become unavailable and the deceased may find themselves unassisted.
For the time being, I urge revive item bearers to aid any dead person who wishes to be revived. If you do, please let me know, as I can offer compensation for your efforts.

next GWI? : D

next GWI? : D

@Seigheart srly of all the places you gather herbs there ???

I guess we will have to be creative.... any ideas?

We have an agreement then.

I guess you dont plan to negotiate on this but my counter offer is to extend this intiative to Undermined Foundations under the same rules. You can target original depleters on your own once this initiative finally succeeds or fails.

All @Chewett @Nep @Ledah must agree to this in order to also protect Undermined Foundations, let me know what you think.

Ohh I call ***** on this statement.

I wont keep discussing this here in public, I will leave it for now. Each of us made and will make their own decisions....

I wanted to say that both scenes are already at 2 digits and Chewett seems to want more drastic consequences !

I guess this keeps going on for both scenes 👀.................

The First Garden Lake Weekend ended on Sunday at 20:00 game time, and the top and its prizes are already in the News. I went through the ledger afterwards, and I would like to share what else it holds. A long column of small numbers is one of my favourite things.
What came out of the water
27 players made 2,619 casts and scored 2,455 landings. 1,526 of those were fish, of 96 different kinds. 671 were resources and 258 were junk, a Soggy Hat among them. The fish weighed about 2.35 tonnes together, an average of 1.54 kg each. What it took
54.5 cumulated hours passed from cast to result, about 77 seconds a cast. Another 16 hours were lines left unattended or cancelled, which I did not count. 154,229 action points were spent, and about 21 points of fishing skill were gained. 90 casts ended in a miss: 55 lost, 17 scared, 12 escaped, 5 late and a single snapped line. 56% of all casts came between 20:00 and 04:00, and the busiest hour was the one from 21:00. What was found
23 players made 202 first catches of a fish new to them. 27 kinds of fish were caught for the first time by anyone. 20 kinds have still never been caught. The records
Heaviest fish: Ledah's Lampless Wels, 44.48 kg and 179.4 cm. Hardest fish landed: the Querntooth Pike, first caught this weekend and held only by Ledah and redneck. Best single landing: 269 points, Ledah's Querntooth Pike at The Mill Pool. Longest streak: Ledah, 500 landings in a row. No misses in 25 or more landings: Nep (33), Aelis (32), Death Ray (31) and Kaya Salta (25). Konstan landed one last fish 30 seconds after the end. It did not score, but I was glad to see it. The race
At Ledah's last landing, on Sunday at about 01:25 and exactly on a streak of 500, Ledah led redneck 31,422 to 28,907 with 18.6 hours left. redneck landed 387 more catches after that and finished on exactly 1,000.
Together those two made 75% of all points and 65% of all landings. redneck fished for about 21 hours and Ledah for about 12. Invie took third place with 77 landings at about 83 points each, the highest average of all 27 players.
Where the lines went
The Storm Docks: 1,322 casts Stunted Mere: 458 The Mill Pool: 261 Willow's Little Lake: 230 The Quiet Reeds: 136 Drywater Bridge: 114 Castaway's Shore: 93 Garden Lake: 5 The weekend carried Garden Lake's name and Garden Lake received five casts, all from one angler. I like to think it enjoyed the quiet.
I hope I have counted it all correctly. If not, I would rather hear so.
