  1. does it? this is just an initiative that you can overlook and go about your other goals in MD, no? besides, you can be the one learning instead of teaching
  2. There goes Mur with his meta quests again I'd like to share some info, but since it's not from my work, but just topics I've been reading on for a while now, I'm not sure I qualify. What I'd like to present is information on herbalism (our relationship with plants, general uses etc) and religion (outline, comparative studies, purpose etc).
  3. Common rp items? There are some hilarious ones in the food category there

    This idea came to me when i was thinking about water treatment, so i'm stuck there (dust polluting rainwater); feel free to expand on other effects as you like. I just want to say that if this one can be tied to mining activity, then world-magic is not set to a fixed period of time.

    New Weather

    Weather such as rain, snow or sunny are realm-'created' or by magic; weather such as dust storm or heat overcharge (imagine all players having max erolin charge and not being able to lower it with fight_cause) can be done by magic or combined actions, voluntary or not, of a magnitude that would cause the disaster Yea, it could be an ingredient in spellstone creation of the said weather spell

    Timeless dust, probably not AP reduction yes, makes more sense than my suggestions herbs withering also makes sense (therefore regen rate slows down)
  7. Part II: ???? Filtering seems important. How can you achieve this? Here are two images showing a filtering pipe and a filtering box: Filters must be cleaned permanently, else they won't...well, filter. They can also become breeding grounds for pathogens. ???? Why treat rainwater? Isn't it supposed to be purer than water? As a raindrop falls and comes in contact with the atmosphere, it dissolves naturally occurring carbon dioxide to form a weak acid. The resultant pH is about 5.7, whereas a pH of 7.0 is neutral. Also, fine particulates can be emitted by industrial and residential combustion, vehicle exhaust, agricultural controlled burns, and sandstorms. As rainwater falls through the atmosphere, it can incorporate these contaminants. ???? How to treat rainwater, then? There are a number of possibilities, but two simple methods should be talked about: boiling water and...letting it in the sun? The UV light kills more microorganisms than you'd think.
  8. In the interest of water preservation, and the hope there will be demand for such a system one day, I shall lay down some important points to follow when designing a rainwater harvesting system. Also, for portable water harvesting portable systems, there's an active quest you might know about. ???? Why harvest rainwater? Rainwater is valued for its purity and softness. It has a nearly neutral pH, and is free from disinfection by-products, salts, minerals, and other natural and man-made contaminants. It must be treated, however, to kill microorganisms and some chemicals. ???? What are the components of a rainwater harvesting system? A catchment surface (like the roof or, in the case of a portable system, an umbrella) , gutters and downspouts; leaf screens/first-flush diverters (components which remove debris and dust from the captured rainwater before it goes to the tank) and one or more storage tanks/ cisterns. ???? What materials are needed? A roof can be made of metal (55% aluminium/45% zinc alloy steel sheet), clay (painted with special sealant to prevent bacteria growth on porous surfaces), asphalt (not recommended), slate or wood/gravel (suitable for irrigation water). The most common materials for gutters and downspouts are half-round PVC, vinyl, pipe, seamless aluminum, and galvanized steel. The funnel-type downspout filter is made of PVC or galvanized steel fitted with a stainless steel or brass screen. Filter socks of nylon mesh can be installed on the PVC pipe at the tank inflow. You may experiment with leaf screens, but remember they need constant cleaning. Storage tanks must be opaque, either upon purchase or painted later, to inhibit algae growth, and should be protected from direct sunlight, if possible. They’re made of fiberglass, polypropylene, wood (pine, cedar or cypress), concrete, metal, ferrocement.

    New weather spell - Dust Storm (or similar) effect??? (i thought of it affecting rainwater, water, but it can also affect things like heat generation, buildings durability etc) can be triggered in response to how many times pickaxes have been used (say, for 1k counted uses); with mining being an activity now, a dust storm can be particularly polluting
  10. What would a water putrefaction do? ????
  11. Was listening to You want it darker and thinking 'he was conversing with god even at 80, and even then the Lord wanted it darker'. I think it's because you let others depict the imagery of god; it really hurts your mind.

      xD I identify with Cohen in that, despite very much being happy with Judaism, I seem to always attract and enjoy a less religious surrounding.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Cohen#Religious_beliefs_and_practices you've seen this?  I love it so much

      Yea, I've seen it, which is why I'm saying the guy wasn't too happy. 

      On the religion side, christianity and various arab 'sects', among which jewish, come from the same source, so the retreat can only be into someting like buddhism, hinduism, shintoism or whatever.

      神道 
      I feel like darkness leads to "god" in many ways, specifically it can manifest "god" to you, but it is only your experience. The darkness is creating your own personal god.
      I don't see how you can prove it to anyone.

      On a more meta level these ideas are purposeful to, dare I say, subjugate you. To grow complacent in the darkness so as to accept the bad things surrounding you as a test or will of a higher power weakens your ability to fight against the darkness as you are willing to accept it. The "light" side of things however is misplaced as an idea inside of you waiting to grow, a false light here, where the true "light" is past the darkness and implanting these ideas into everyone waiting for its chance to assume control in the chaos that follows.

    As you set out in MagicDuel hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. Angry rants, bitter fights or creepy folks - don't be afraid of them: you'll never find things like that one on your way as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Angry rants, bitter fights or creepy folks - you won't encounter them unless you bring them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them up in front of you. Hope your road is a long one. May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, what joy, you enter scenes you're seeing for the first time; may you stop at Willow's Shop to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, sensual perfumes of every kind - as many sensual perfumes as you can; and may you visit many lands to learn and go on learning from their citizens. Keep MagicDuel always in your mind. Arriving there is what you're destined for. But don't hurry the journey at all. Better if it lasts for years, so you're old by the time you reach the pinnacle wealthy with all you've gained on the way, not expecting it to make you rich. MagicDuel gave you the marvelous journey. Without it you wouldn't have set out. It has nothing left to give you now. And if you find it poor, it's not because it fooled you. Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you'll have understood by then what these Magic Duels mean. (I repeat, this is plagiarism of the worst kind)

    Only if it comes with a good deal of suffering and the end of your dreams. Else, no way.

    On stupidity

    I'm gonna share something with you because I am getting old and some stuff that I held to be true before just doesn't make sense anymore. I can't find stupid people in my world Yesterday I went to do some house viewing and one of the houses was a nice little setup. The story was about two young lovebirds who bought a house and made the necessary arrangements to live in style there, but some years ago things happened and they decided to leave for UK for good. Now the house is empty, but look how beautiful it looks! Everything's new, the location is great, it's a bargain! Everybody would say 'They were stupid to leave all this'. Regardless, my bullshit radar activated and I need no confirmation to be sure that this was a house bought at half the price they're selling, put in maybe 5k to make it look nice and another 5k to dress it up and expect some huge profit. Hey, there's money to be made in this industry, even if it's dying atm. I chuckled at the bubble bathtub for two people. The marketing is great - it's those young gullible couples who'd bleed their money over it. Stupid? I don't think so, this was all well-planned and executed. Years ago, I was making a trip that involved crossing a border. That usually took about an hour or so, but what was particularly memorable about the trip was that the driver decided to bring three little kittens with him (they were in the back). Sure, kittens look nice in pics, but once they start pissing and shitting in their cage (because of fear, hunger, car-sickness, I don't know), hehehe, the joke's on you. And the driver...was exceedingly happy that day. From the beginning to the end, he kept chuckling and making jokes. I think many of us feel something is wrong when something IS wrong. I didn't know what was wrong, but soon after the trip I had this weird thought in my mind - was he smuggling cocaine (after sniffling some)? Some reader from the US may say 'Well, duh', but in Europe things are a little different. When there's smuggling, everyone's usually on it - not a lot of freelancing around. 'Fucking moron, dumbass, cretin, imbecile' are all adjectives we, the passengers, lovingly attributed to the driver. But was he an idiot for transporting the three kittens (given to him by 'an animal loving friend') or was he deterring policemen (and police dogs) from getting at the back? Stupid? I don't think so, he was laughing his ass off. And I...tried to educate some people around me. I thought 'If I'd explain things to them, they'd get it and we'd all do something good together'. How wrong I was! In thinking people don't know better (a.k.a. 'are stupid'), I was the only idiot of there. One person in my life drove me crazy, until I realized she wasn't dumb, just didn't want to accept the kind of reality I was looking at. I mean I can't pretend I don't see what I see. I suppose we all ignore some aspects of life - we're not invincible - but some people run from reality far and wide. Stupid? Nah, just weak and wanting protection, not the harsh reality and the obliteration of dreams (I'm *this* close to joining SI). In any case, the proverbial fool is harder to spot than the Yeti. There have been more sightings of the Loch Ness monster. Sure, stories are using this trope and comedy inevitably has 'a dumb one'. But if you think someone is stupid, and laugh at him/her, you'd better take a look in the mirror. The one who doesn't understand things is you. (P.S. This is how you kill laughter and create a gloomy world - show people the reality. And... be sure to take away their booze and drugs.)
  16. Yea...but couldn't the artwork be 'whitened' on a side?
  17. ADVENTURE LOG/STORY-MODE MECHANICS (COMBAT? it may overlap with INTERFACE or FEATURES) STAGE END/START FACTIONS/GROUPS (such as the council, or gwi guardians etc) LANDS KINGS/KINGSHIP TOOLS (transfer of tools, official selling of tools etc) TREASURY (for now, the TK) RPCS/ROLES
  18. Ah, since I read that topic beforehand...I would like to review/fix anns under somebody's supervision
  19. I would like to work as a reviewer/tagger under someone's supervision i.e. read anns and tag them according to the tag list
  20. The rewards have been distributed (no WP), unfortunately Demonic God decided to go M.I.A. and so I don't know if he'll (ever) get the prizes. Thank you for participating, I want you to know a veil of mist covered Marind Bell and Ailith, Steno and Demonic God managed to work out a solution under Slotsh's guidance. For now, crisis averted.
  21. Seems to be a very specific and hard-to-track issue, so good luck all I can say is my lvl 2 resource grasans are still named Leaking, Stinky etc and none of my creatures have lost their names.
  22. This topic belongs to many sections, so I chose this one. Do what you must do if I did wrong, mods. The maple sapling at Sanctuary's View, where I'm gonna spend some time, is not getting enough light. You can see the sunlight hits all trees from the right, while the maple is just as dark on both sides. It's great artwork, but it looks out of place because of this. It's precisely because it looks good that I'd like it to get the right light, because a point can be made that the added artwork like chairs or barrels aren't shaded right either.
  23. Hmm...I couldn't make a meme with ''Cazzi tuoi'', though...
  24. How do you want this help to happen? I find (this endeavor) amusing, there are also many English idioms that, translated into my language, sound very funny.
