jakubhi

Yes. The commands with *** generate a random message from a certain set, yes? While the emotions will generate the same message every time the trigger is used. I would prefer not to mix the two, as they work on different principles. Also, as far as I have seen, the *** do not have much to do with emotions. (also, the *** are currently hidden in the shop, while the emotions should be open to public) Hope that explains it:)

I should have probably done this from the start. Anyway, please vote in the poll. You may select multiple choices. I hope that I provided enough choices. I decided not to include ? and ! characters, since they are used a lot in normal sentences and could lead to false triggers. Also, characters like ~ and | are a bit more tricky to write, so I tried to go with widely known but mostly unused ones.

Hmmm, how about this. Anyone who has some opinion on this can drop their vote on this thread and I will track it in this post. I will start with the first vote, for double asterix before and after the trigger word (**nod**) double asterix - 1 vote (jakubhi) a single character before the trigger word - 1 vote (Ailith) *** before and after - 1 vote (Chew) ?? (unknow vote from Mag, not sure if he is pointing out my typo or voting for asterisks in general) --Although.. I do not think there will be many votes.-- There are already more replies than I expected, pleasant surprise:D Well, if anyone has some comments about this, I hope they can share their opinion here.

I believe it would be nice to have a few phrases in the chat, which we could use to better/more efficiently describe our emotions/opinions. Here is my list of proposed keywords which should trigger the phrase, along with the phrase itself. Instead of the PLAYER, imagine the name of the one using the phrase. As a side note, it may be a nice idea to use some other special symbol to surround them, other than the '*', so the trigger words are still usable in simple asterix descriptions. Maybe use double asterix for this? **nod** nod - PLAYER nods in agreement. greet - PLAYER greets everyone around. shrug - PLAYER shrugs helplessly. yawn - PLAYER yawns loudly, looking tired. hey - PLAYER tries to catch everyones attention. sigh - PLAYER sighs silently. hum - PLAYER hums a happy tune. sky - PLAYER observes the sky. sit - PLAYER sits down. listen - PLAYER listens intently with a focused expression. idle - PLAYER stops paying attention to the surrounding, going idle. headache - PLAYER gets a massive headache. sleep - PLAYER lays down, eyes closed, quickly falling asleep. sorry - PLAYER sincerely apologises. point - PLAYER points at something in the distance. follow - PLAYER beckons others to follow. laugh - PLAYER laughs happily. innocent - PLAYER smiles innocently. silver - PLAYER throws a single silver coin high up into the air, then deftly catches it. There are also a few phrases which I am not sure if to use. Since I do not know the gender of the player, I went with they. stretch - PLAYER raises hands above their head in a mighty stretch. shake - PLAYER shakes their head. roll - PLAYER rolls their eyes. tilt - PLAYER tilts their head to the side. flex - PLAYER shows of their mighty muscles. I would be happy for any feedback:) (and thankful if anyone who is able to implement this does so. Still, it's only an idea. )

To hear about the current Phase and learn more about the upcoming ones, check with the Overseer:)

Auditor applications are now closed.

Thank you for your application Sajura. Now, we have 3 Auditors. I will be closing the applications on Friday midnight. Anyone who is still thinking about being an Auditor, please apply before the midnight (the one from Friday to Saturday). After that, I will create a forum group for the Auditors and the auditing may start (Phase 0 ends, Phase 1 begins. The Overseer will soon provide more hints about the Phases.)

I spent all 10 of my research points but there are still plenty of mysteries. I saw that there were research points in wish shop. Is there another way to get more points ?

I am glad to see your application death ray, welcome as the second Auditor:) With this, we have achieved the minimum number of Auditors. Of course, this application process is going to be open for a few more days for others to apply as there are still some seats left. I plan to wait for a week and then I will probably close the application process and the Auditors will be able to start working.

To help propagate the Lighthouse reconstruction, I have decided to create a forum thread for Lighthouse memes! (no, I just had a bunch of memes in my mind and wanted to share). I plan to make new posts from time to time here. ANYONE who has any memes about lighthouse/reconstruction/GG..., feel free to add yours:)

Your application has been accepted. Although, I hoped to get a few juniors who I could underpay properly compensate. I am glad to see a vastly overqualified Auditor who will be able to keep an eye on those chaotic numbers. One of the Auditor positions is now claimed, but there are still quite a few still open. Awaiting new applicants!

The Overseer for the Lighthouse reconstruction has arrived! You may find him near the lighthouse. The renovation is split into multiple Phases. The current Phase is 0. You may also learn the current Phase from the Overseer. In this Phase, we are looking for Auditors! Their role will be to take a look at the Lighthouse, check the faulty parts, make a list of resources and items which will be needed to be gathered and crafted for the reconstruction. (the Auditors are expected to cooperate and communicate between each other. I will create a forum group for this, or if someone has problems with using the forum, an alternative solution can be found.) We are looking for a minimum of 2 Auditors (maximum of 5). Depending on the amount of public interest, we may take in additional auditors. Each chosen Auditor will be rewarded a weather spell stone (storm) at the start of their job. Next, each one will receive a gold salary, this salary will depend on the quality of their work and their progress. There will be 2 salaries, one in the middle of the Auditing, the other at the end of the Auditing. There may (or may not) be further rewards, but they are still being discussed. How to apply for the position of an Auditor ? You may write your application here, or write ingame/forum pm to me. It would be nice if you could also drop one or two sentences why you want to be an Auditor. If you have any questions, you may drop them here or send me a pm too. (There should also be an announcement about what I mentioned here)

For each item (which I do not have yet) required to create the chest I am willing to pay 4sc, if there is anything specific you are looking for (spell stones, resources,..) I am also open to trades. I am also thinking about selling colored Soulweaver (age 443) (sold), colored Elu 16th anni (sold), but your offer would need to be very tempting ( lots of needed items provided). EDIT (31. 1. 2024): currently looking for (I will add and delete items from this list as time goes by): King of black diamonds Queen of black diamonds Snow Globe Wooden door knob Chess set Frank 8 ball Angry Mask

*sounds of falling rubble* The Golemus lighthouse is long overdue a reconstruction. This will be a difficult task, and every helping hand is needed. Currently, the details of the reconstruction are unknown. The reconstruction will be going for a longer period of time. This is a sort of public event/quest where you can help with the reconstruction. Gathering some resources will be likely involved. The reconstructed lighthouse might also help with a potential sea travel. More info coming soon!

Fyrd for quest and event making. Ledah for his readiness to create chaos whenever there is an opportunity.

Current score: (last update 25.4.2023) 1) Invie with total of 5 players == 7567 2) Aksel with total of 5 players == 7597

In this quest, I want you to look for people, use the /seen command (for example /seen jakubhi). Your task is to find 5 players who have been active a very long time ago. Each player needs to have 30+ active days. (to check this, you may use the /whois command). Scoring - I am going to take the sum of the dates of your 5 players when they were active. The entry with the lowest total of the five people wins ! Example: Person 1 - Last time was active around day 167 of year 17 ( 17 * 365 + 167) Person 2 - Last time was active around day 100 of year 15 (15 * 365 + 100) Person 3 - .. Person 4 - .. Person 5 - .. Total ( ( 17 * 365 + 167) + (15 * 365 + 100) + Person 3 + Person 4 + Person 5) <- Try to get this as low as you can Please, send me the list of your chosen people in a private forum message, DO NOT post it here. If the total for two entries is the same, the one who sent it to me has bigger score. I will be posting updates of the current submitted totals in this thread. At the end of the quest, I will also post here which people were mentioned, so their existence may be remembered. If you have any questions about the quest, please ask below:) Rewards !

Hint for the newer players: The old forum threads are a goldmine for forgotten names..

Although quite a lot of us visit MD each day, it is hard to catch each other "awake". When I wake up, I often only quickly sweep around if someone wrote something in chat and if there is someone not idle. After not finding anyone awake, I will go idle myself. And this seems just.. so impractical. I believe that many people do something similar, and even when we have some free time at the same time, we simply miss each other. I have been thinking, that we could perhaps agree on a few meeting times or maybe just common practices. To give an example, when it is a whole hour, like 19:00 or 20:00, we could send a simple message to chat to indicate that we are currently awake. This way, it would be easier to gather people for some activities or just casual chatting. What are your thoughts on this? Would it be helpful? Are there better ways to do this ?
