1st of April. Fools day.

Considering the error message (! at the end, and general structure) and the fact that you become Mur auto, rather than demo or something, I might suggest that this has been done intentionally, and indeed is not a bug :p

Available...War Maiden...http://storenow.net/my/?f=52c7bed2b18484430eae8736f929d00c

actually one clicky is on MDA ground

1. How bad do you want that MD is not only surviving but blossoming?
    
    Well i think we need to see the other side of not blossoming. Yess less plp means less problems hehe
   1) Everyone gets a role to play now as less plp
       b4 most of the roles where already occupied by vets now that many left lots of these roles r available with less competition.
   2) Everyone can join most of the alliance.
      b4 we need to answer numerous questions, pass certain tasks, interviews,  bow in front of the vets of the alliance and even had to read all those  boring history and facts of them like when they skip brushing their teeth, does their founder was wearing superman or spider man underwear , things like that. But now a days all u need is to just ask and u get in most of the alliances hehe.
   3) Less stat dmg , if any
   4) more chances of wining the quest
       most of the quest now consist of only 3 or less participants so naturally 1st and 2nd and 3 rd yeah default hehe
   5) Bending the Admins
       b4 when we used to complain about some issues they normally brand that as whining, rant, or sometimes it gets even deleted from the forum but now a days they aren't or should i say 'they can't' do that hehe. So lets use this opportunity and turn this to our advantage by changing things to our favor hehe 
  
and the list goes on so i will end here ....
   
2. And what are you willing to do for it? 
  
   Create nuisance , chaos, destruction ...well thats the least i can do hehe
 
3. How much further can you step away from your own personal goals in MD for the greater purpose of a growing and thriving Magic Duel realm?
   Not an inch. One needs 'poor' for someone to be called 'rich'
                     One needs 'fool' for someone to be said 'genius'
                 And one needs 'servants ' for someone to be titled the ' King' .
If u r poor, fool or servants how does MD treats u? ....Ahahahaha..need not to say ....just like a trash can
but if u r rich, genius and a King then u get various alien powers ..can communicate with the gods of MD directly and lots and lots of things which the other three can't do hehe.
  Yess being selfish is the only way of surviving in MD Kehehe....
                    
4. How good can you put your injured inner EGO heal for a while and forget all those bad feeling of the past you experienced in the MD community?
      Not a problem just pay me or gift me dragons and i shall forgot everything .. even the word forgot. 
 
5. How bad do want to have fun again and how much are you willing to work on yourself and not on all those others to achieve a better community?
    No i don't wanna fun ...i wann power, dragons and yeah  coins gold coins hehe
  
6. What is your biggest most positive vision of YOUR Magic Duel you´re dreaming of?
 
   My Positive vision sees everyone building my statue in order to honor my good deeds :D

as  a young player, there isn't much for me to lose so I'm willing.  But after a fun afternoon with Kyphis and Koshu (and finally, FINALLY, after 63AD players beginning to hang out at willow's shop with me!!) we discussed many things about MD.  One of which is the controlling theme that older players should embrace young players and their ideas in the same way that young players accept and learn from the older players.  And in turn, all work toward encouraging the new faces.
 
for me, this is where MD chat helps.  A new player, mp3, came to the scene and interjected a comment about not having anything to add to the ongoing conversation and didn't want to interrupt and such but wanted to simply say, "Hi". 
 
It helps when a new player comes to a scene and we acknowledge they are there.  It gives the new players a sense of belonging and welcome which is essential.  Yes, after we have gotten to know one another, our topics in chat often become exclusive, but they don't HAVE to be.  GoE is a particularly troubling spot for this.  Mostly mp5s hang out there and just sleep, go idle or talk on subjects that can't be joined in easily.  That is going to be off putting for a new player that isn't particularly bold or chatty.  Just saying. 

I am a newbie, but I have been following the discussion among many players regarding viscosity.
 
I daily make my rounds around Marind Bell and No Man's Land.  May I suggest that everyone do the same?  Perhaps that will help to lower the viscosity?  I have heard complaints that Marind Bell used to only be negative viscosity.  I've also heard complaints about the Paper Cabin, the Aramory and let's not forget that getting to MDA lands shouldn't be so hard.
 
I love this game.  I am active only 40 days today but I haven't missed a day.  I would recruit new players but I'm an older player and quite frankly, a bit of an odd duck in my social circle as none of my friends like RPGs.  That said, I would love to have a hand in helping revitalize and/or "wake up" the realm of Magic Duel by recommending daily parades and that players regularly make the rounds around both MB and NoMans's Land.

To have much more people in MD that 'glow' with their color and their thoughts. When you see them having citizenship in a certain land, for instance LR, you see them and nod "Oh, you're sooo a Lorerootian!", it makes sense. And those people, being in other lands, have so much to say about their perception on the world and existence from their own aspect, and all of those make sense even though they are different, a matter of different philosophies.
 
And those conflicting thoughts are used in discussions, used to reach new conclusions and imbetter yourself in accordance to your view on "what's right".
 
For me that is the essence of a functional MD.

Well i live in both worlds. And i really love to draw, i can picture what my world would look like. Its an escape from reality actually. 

Jester and I were casually discussing this in another forum topic and I have spent several days pondering said discussion.
 
Do you dream about MD?  
Where does MD stop and real life begin?
Or where does real life stop and MD begin?
And what if you begin to see things in real life that instantly make you think of MD?
 
Yesterday I was parking my vehicle along side a curb.  I stepped out on the curbside and there was a tree stump which immediately made me think "remains" because I swear to you, it looked like the drawing of Remains I.  And of course, the next immediate thought in my head was how many more battles do I need before that creature upgrades ?  and the THIRD thought was oh, right, that's a GAME and this is reality I'm currently walking in
 
Tell me this hasn't happened to you.  But I will say you are lying.
 
Or when you meet a big oaf of a human at the grocery store in the check out lane and he makes you think Grasan! as he thunks his items on the checkout counter.
 
Or when you are out of energy and still have much to do before you can go to bed and you think god, what would i give for a spicy pickle right now...
 
Or when you have a really shiny thought and you want to share it and the first thought in your head is i wonder if that MD friend is online right now...oh what the hell.  I'll just log in for a minute and tell them in PM and then an hour later you're cussing at yourself because you've just spent that hour on MD instead of doing what you were supposed to do
 
Or when you wake up in the morning and realize you spent the entire night wandering Alche's Alley, running out of AP because the viscosity is so high and the arrows don't tell you which way to go so you keep going back and forth between scenes until you finally remember which arrow you clicked and...
 
come on.  You know you've done it.  
 
There are of course, many existential elements of MD that overlap IRL which could be a forum topic in and of itself.  I'm just wondering, do you dream in MD color?
 
:D
 
 

so... i'm not entirely sure what the issue is here.  I do my best to stay in role while in chat in ANY scene with any character and I've been known to talk in scenes where there is no other player just because it gives a visiting player something to read.  And because it is part of the role I am playing - Petty is chatty. :P :P
 
When there are things I need to discuss that I don't want in chat, I PM the individual I am speaking with.  For instance, anything that would be a spoiler on quests or battle rituals or topics about another player that I don't want to be read or misconstrued or maybe I just need to be out of character for a bit and socialize as myself, not as Petty.  And then of course, there's the forum for other topics that are good for discussion.
 
There are times when the information in chat is spoiler related and that is easy to clear the chat.  TheRichMerchant and I had one such conversation at the gates of loreroot as he helped me sort my rituals to conquer the guards (no, he didn't tell me directly the key, he just talked me through my ideas and rituals because I still have trouble understanding the battle logs)  Of course, clearing a chat can be undone by a spell and "the powers that be" can read chat logs for up to 12 hours but clearly, those individuals would have already had the information we were discussing so it wouldn't have been a spoiler for them.
 
Maybe I'm naive because I'm a young player but I haven't discovered any issues in chat as is being mentioned here.  Should I progress in the game to the point or being mischievous and creating chaos, which I just might want to be, I wouldn't discuss it openly in chat.  Unless I was in character and already moving in said underhanded plot.  ;)

hand drawings are like books
its why i made md like this
you don't remember or dream "letters"..you remember what your mind reconstructs..and that holds much more interesting info than what a colored realistic picture could offer. The relation between md and dreams..thats a complicated story and i want to keep this short,..but there IS something there :)
 
thats also a reason why md played outside md will never be md

I would like to talk to you, privately if that makes you feel better, About this. I personally still havent seen someone categorically state what the issue is. I feel you give power to certain people, by perceiving they are all powerful and that them knowing what you say will in some way cause great harm to you.

MD is RL.  What we do and say here has definite affects on the people we share this place with.   The very fact that you are dreaming about this digital landscape shows that it is more than that.   For years I thought that this was just a game.  Funny thing is that I carried MD with me.  I often thought about it, the friends I had made, the lessons I had learned...  All real. 

Of course right after I read this post and then go to bed I have a dream involving people from MD

woop woop!  happy birthday!  stop by Willow's Shop for an apple! :D
