[quote name='apophys' timestamp='1305518524' post='84487'] For the purpose of this first quest, "newb" is defined as mp3 or mp4 with less than 1 active year. I.e. not necessarily a true newb, but rather someone already acquainted with the game, so it's mostly geared toward advanced mp3s / early mp4s. Closer to newb than to fossil. I don't think there's a specific term for it. I checked out the locations indicated by the quest creator, and everything checked out for me personally. The bridge referred to isn't very large, but it's there. (I haven't done Ch. 2 at all yet, so I still have tents. ) [/quote] Loreroot is no more accessible to MP3, with the creature vs MP limitations (correct me if I'm wrong), so if LR is indeed needed for that quest, you might want to make it MP4+.

I forgot to mention the brother of my Remain, a Water being: 706707. Up to you.

Would a remain interest you? ID: 706706

Not a big fan of that suggestion. I understood that trading for credits was allowed mainly because it couldn't be effectively forbidden... not a reason to favour that through credit transfers between accounts... and thus make cheating easier for those who like to cheat. And yes paying players have an advantage there... So what? They pay to ahve an advantage anyhow.

I would rule out carrots for the clematis prefer that we keep their soil in rest, which wouldn't fit with the hungry gardeners around. But parsley is very appelaing, while i was myself thinking of Thyme, that is said to act as a repulsive for avids. Maybe a combination of Parsley and Thyme between the Rose bushes would be a good start for a garden that would be useful not only for our eyes, but also for our mouth. That would make something like that, for one side of the path (suppsosing an arbor with 3 arches / 4 pillar: Vine/clematisx3/Arbor Pillar - Thymex3 - Rose Bush - Thymex3 - Pillar/vine/clematis- Parsley x3 - Rose Bush - Parsley x3 - Pillar/vine/clematis - Thymex3 - Rose Bush - Thymex3 -Pillar/Vine/clematis I put the parsley in the middle, anticipating it would be the most shady place, while Thyme would support and enjoy more sunny side.

Happy birthday! Stop counting, it does not bring much.

I have just completed Mya's quest and I have enjoyed it. A lot! It took me a long time. Because the quest itself is very deep, with a lot of steps to go through, but also because I am not a very fast person in anything. I would highly recommend that quest to any MP3. As said before, combined with Princ Rhaegar's quest, you get a much better knowledge of the realm. It helps you understand how open the game is, and how everyone can find it's own way within it. Definitely a must and, should I rate it, it would get A+. Thank you very much Mya.

Thank you for the answers! May I ask if the "fame" / "ingame reputation" i s assigned by a kind of committee, by Mur or... or is that a secret/unknown thing? I know I ask always too much but well...

I find this discussion very interesting. I was intrigued by the initial annoucement by mur about the MP6 change. It made me think "looks like as if he is willing to add some entropy in the system and see how it evloves". if that was indeed his goal, I am sure he is having lof of fun reading the topic. To the current MP6: as you all stated, gaining and keeping adepts is very hard. I might be wrong, but I understand that you want to be MP6 in order to be useful to the others (particularly those adepts and worshippers). If your adepts are gone because someone has offered them 1 coin, then I suppose you will question yourself about their real loyalty and if it's worth trying to stay MP6 forever. Unless you want to stay MP6 for other personnal reasons that I ignore (That's maybe a bit offtopic, but it would be intersting for new players to really understand why one want to be and stay MP6 besides the purpose of maxing creatures). To Apophys: try as you may, there will always be some cases where your project will cost a regular MP6 his MP6 status. That WILL happen, just because of the circumstances or because something went wrong. I am not saying it's a bad thing, but it is a risk that will occur. What you are proposing in term of limitation of Adepts "stealing" will limit the risk, but not nullify it. But then again, I am not saying it's a bad thing. I like that change because of that discussion we are having now. I find it interesting too to notice that a catalyst was needed for that discussion to start: all hail boss head conest!

Hello! When the voting for Marind's Bell Kingship started, I noticed it was mentioned that voter's reputation was taken intio account to balance the vote/score. I also noticed that we could get reputation on the forum (and yes I noticed how it comes from readers rating posts). My questions around those reputations are quite basic: - Is InGame reputation the same as Forum reputation ? - If not how is evaluated InGame reputation, and is it hidden or can one know his own rep? - What is the use of bothe reputations, besides the Kingship voting? Thanks! And feel free to point me at a topic on the subject that I may have missed.

I see a teacher holding a stick to show something on the blackboard. Maybe he is explaining the basis of Principles?

[quote name='Burns' timestamp='1304257229' post='83662'] MP3 doesn't take place due to lack of sign-ups, sorry Passant. [/quote] Haha, that's because I'mm too weak: they don't want to fight me! Good luck to all MP4/MP5 who compete!

All the clematis I have grown were rather fragile and certainly not dangerous for something like vine. Their roots stay in surface, opposed to the deep roots of vines. So, I anticipate no problem there. Also I suggested 3 per vine, in order to mix different varieties that would produce flowers at different times of the year (but do we have seasons in MD... another research to do maybe?). The key for clematis growing well is to respect a single tip: "[i]Les pieds à l'ombre et la tête au soleil[/i]" ([i]"Feet in the shadow and head in the sun"[/i]), which would be easily acieved by protecting the clematis foot in the arbor shadow or behind a decorative stone. To complete the scene between the arbor as you describe, mustard is indeed a possibility, but I think we should go for smaller plants (maybe no more than 20 cms height: we have the big vines, the possibly big clematis, the medium bush trees, the complimentary plant should be smaller and contrasting in my opinion). Best solution would be tio find a small plant providing pest protection/repulsion (particularly against aphids). I will check out what I can propose.

You realise that I am able to spam you with countless messages on chat or via PM that are within the rules, don't you? *evil grin*

Heyh! Nice pics! I did not understand you were after such vine trees. I was myself more focused on wine friendly culture. The Vine trees are very good for the use you describe, along the path. But those would not be very suitable for wine making, because of the yeld that would give less concentrated grapes. However, this is not big deal: we could still make wine and enjoy it even if it is not the best wine of the world (to say the least): home made, that's all we need to enjoy the wine. Coming back to the question of which plants to associate with the vines, in a structure similar to what you show on the pics, I would definitely try: - rosebushes between each vine - 3 different clematis associated to each vine, so that they are planted in the shady place and will grow along the vine to bloom at the sunny side. See the attachment to get an idea of what I mean. [img]http://chambres.chez.com/clematite.jpg[/img]

[quote]If you were to take the grapes and add nearby rosebushes, do you think there might be anything else you would add to the guild? Be creative [/quote] I need to think more, but first idea would be to add a couple peach tree. Provided we have enough space. They have basically the same role as rosebushes: they are sensible to the same diseases (oidium or however it is called in English) as the vines. They also provide a bit of shadow to rest under when it's the pause for lunch during grape harvest season (By the way, i slightly disagree with your sying vines would provide shadow... They wouldn't be high enough if we have a sunny area, because the vines would be cut somehow low enough to limit the grape number and allow the sun to illuminate them with no limitation). And if you chose the right variety, they will produce fruits at the same season as we harvest grapes... which provides for a nice dessert (we call those fruits "Pêches de vigne" in my language, aka "Vine peaches"). But to answer more correctly your question, we would probably need a small plant that will avoid the use of weedkiller... but I need to make a bit of research on that!

I can see 2 possibilities to explore: - identify the tree that is standing right of the scene. I'm not an expert, but if anyone can identify its species, then maybe that would help - try to find a Real World location that looks close to the scene, and identify the soil in that Real World location I will make a check on the 2nd part. I have something in mind but need to find back old pictures.

I'd like to register: Passant the Weak, MP3. Is personnal influence allowed or has the bar to be set at 0%?

Not sure if I shall use that topic, but we can move after if needed. My first idea seeing that hill, is that in my country the first thing a gardener would do is to chose the place where to plant the few vines. Because a true gardener would collect its own grapes to make its own wine (a few bottles for his own pleasure). That could be a row at the bottom of the hill, because the place is very sunny. They should be one rosebush at each side of the row to detect the potential diseases (not sure it's the right word for a plant, but you get it). If you like the idea, then we shall select the grape variety. For that, it would be better to know the nature of the soil (clay, sand....) so that we find an adequate type. I could help finding an unknown variety (no Cabernet or Merlot or any famous grape of course), that would give good results. Let me know if that makes sense!

I discover this topic now and find it very interesting and promising. I still have to understand all details, but the idea looks just great. I am interested in research as well. And also in seeds gathering. I seem to undrestand that you intend to cover that part through quests, but if there is anything aside quests I could help with for seeds gathering, I would be glad to. I would also be willing to volunteer for any boring task (or labor task) that does not involve any particular skill but time and willingness. It's just a great project.

Well, given your history, I think it would make sense to get one of your old char.... revived... Welcome back, whoever you are. And take care of yourself.

[quote name='Blackthorn' timestamp='1302355393' post='82219'] Very good then I have added you to my ever growing list. please be patient... [/quote] Knowing that you just accept to think about my request is way enough to make me happy... and the one thing that I have learnt about me playing MD for 2 months now is that I have way more patience that i ever thought. Just take your time, and if something comes out one day, great! If not... great! That would mean you have drawn something else that will make someone happy. Grats on your work, I do like it a lot.

Thanks a lot yrthilian. Problem solved, you can close

Hello! I will be off for 1 week in the middle of no where with no Internet connection and (almost) no mobile network. I would like to try to connect and get Active Days. My only solution to do do is to use my mobile phone and try to catch a bit of connection. However it's an old model that is not compatible with Flash. When I try to log in, I of course get a load of errors, and won't see MD usual screen. I have the feeling that the game saw me logged in yet, because I can see the chat discussion hidden in the middle of all Ajax errors messages. My question: has someone experienced that and could confirm that I am seen connected, and thus will get the Active Days?... or Not! Thanks a lot for your help.
