In theory this would be implemented in-game, on the quest page. But until that is done, maybe a forum topic with current active quests could work.

I like the idea, but not the boost (only because aramors would be too overpowered thus, and of course this would upset only a very small niche, but nevertheless)

When you say 'white knight', do you mean a 'friendly investor'? Or something like 'a fool'?

I've done some more thinking and now it's like this (like Syrian put it) : md does experience time, but it's our time. Just like any other thing. Also, if man told time by, say, the phases of the moon and the day-night cycle, if you talk about external or internal points of reference to the system, then you either say both moon and earth are internal, or external. Same with MD - so the integrated clock is like the moon, already a part of the system. Therefore, you can't measure time in md relative to something that happens in md. which should have been obvious from the start edit: ah, but, if you 'create' tides in md, assigning, say, a 4 hr interval (saying it's 'an hour'), and use that to 'tell time', what you do is create a new time (for yourself). Which is interesting...

So i've done some more thinking and saying md doesn't experience entropy/time is a bit forced. The reflection/mirror analogy is awesome, but even there we can talk about 'existence', no? If we say something exists, then we automatically give it a timeline, right? For example, our species has lived outside time a long time ago. The planet, too, is probably living outside time. It lives, moves, will die some day, but it's us that say the earth has an age. Without us, would the Earth have time? Would it age like we say it does? That means that, just like with magicduel, we give 'things' 'time'. But that doesn't mean things don't actually exist, don't move or experience entropy...or wait, maybe they don't? If you are not measuring time for something, it's not real/alive? Like, the dirt was just that, and when we understood the mechanisms of our planet, only then it became the Earth. Uhh...i think we're bound to discover more and more things as we grow, if so. Anyway, when we discovered time, it was done by referring to a celestial body, so technically we measured tim on Earth relative to something 'external', even though it was perceived as internal? I mean, the sky is basically part of the earth, no? Does that make the image of the moon an external point of reference or internal, to the system? correction: the image of the moon is the image of dirt, and so they're both 'external'. That's because we are the measuring system. I got it wrong because i was thinking 'earth+us'. So that makes the question of whether you can tell time in md by something that happens in md as a system still valid. Ugh...i don't get it anymore. I'll read this again tomorrow, it makes little sense now.

Thank you syrian, for pointing out what others alluded to. I don't think i would have thought MD has no time At the same time, the players need to measure time somehow, but if we can't do it relative to happenings in md...

Maybe you're overestimating me ? i am weak in math/physics, actually. I was thinking that since we don't have an internal phenomenon that could tell time relative to it, we make it - more specifically, we make the tides of the lake ftom the SAL 'real'- And tell time from a cycle depending on water

The relativity of time is not something i'm ready to delve in; i was thinking in classical terms. i know the topic doesn't seem like much, but i think it is relevant; vould it be that we live in a time where time is an oppresor, so we dismiss talks about it?

Happy birthday, Val! Stand tall as an oak, another year has passed only because it didn't know what else to do! Best wishes

Money is strange...i don't know if that os true, but i watched a documentary years ago about money, and it said in Tibet an ass'(mule) dung was a currency. Idk about rarity or use of that...but it made me feel fuzxy and warm inside. This world can be funny at times, i thought.

Example, please.

I suppose diamonds can be used as currency if we decide to do it, by assigning a random value, even if they cannot be used. I foresee assigning that value would create debates over debates, and the currency wouldn't be stable...ever, unless it is stabilized in a dramatic way. With coins you had a different situation because tgey were 'minted'- bought in shop. This meant that coins had a 'hidden value' that was related to a player's effort, or impact, on md. Diamonds also relate to a player's effort, but it's different in that the very existence of a player was a requirement, something much more profound. I'd like to note as well that rarity is a very direct (and common)basis for assigning value, but also very shallow. Use, I believe, is more natural and desirable in determining value. Now, my problem with brilliant diamonds is that it immediately makes one (me) think of opulence. Trading in diamonds...lol. If you attach a use for it that breaks that idea, it may work.

You, the player. and why does pipstickz have trouble with the idea of 'time'?

Yes, it's like that. So what are those regular occurences in md that can be used to measure time? (I mean 'internal' occurences, like rain and such, not the ST). If you are in the realm of MD and have no clock, how do you know what time it is or how much time has passed?

Are you saying the time you spend in md is fiction?

Hmm? No ideas? There are a bunch of events, but i don'r rhink we have the right kind. Like, rain - it has different intervals. Because if there are no such events, i would like to propose one - but only if tgere aren't.

An anniv, please

How we look at time is basically like this, no? : d/V. Basically, it's about movement over a distance. If an objects doesn't travel, time doesn't 'pass'. Now, we might say time still passes, by looking at other objects that move, but measure it in relation to the object that stands, and you have zero. So how do we measure time in MD? Can't do it by looking at the sun that 'moves', and bet on the day-night cycle. If you measure it relative to the moment you get 1 more AD, you have a 'day' there, but we can all agree time is measured here in relation to an exterior system of reference, right? What happens in MD that we can take as reference point? For example, the lights shooting up from the angien egg could be one, but the interval is too short. How can we obtain 'a day', measuring time by something 'internal'?

First of all, what a combo! Instant The scene looks very good, i guess a couple more tries would make it perfect. But even as it is, it looks like a scene in MD, awesome! The avatar is very well coloured, as well.

Ah, I can upload So, whoever is a fan of art & work, go for it!

Happy b-day!

As i was strolling in MD yrsterday, i saw Metal Bunny at GoE. My first thoughts? Grab it, nab it, maim it, stab it skin it, clean it, like you mean it, Dry it, fry it, forget diet, Omigosh, thay bunny riot! Meeeeetal bunny! Yumm!

Ye, Iceman is tricky

Peasants such of yourself? That reminds me of a sintagm from the AL...are you simplyzero?

Wooo, good luck!
