  1. I'm not sure. The first time I made the paper I had '2 paper' (I think). Then I did it again and I had 2 paper (2). The machine only recognized me as having 2 paper in total however, even after I made what should be 8. It counted it as two when I check after I made the item twice and went to the balloon. I think there is an item literally called '2 paper', and the machine makes that instead of just two papers. It seems to sort have corrected itself where it shows 'paper(4)' in my inventory, but it was showing I had put "1 out of my two papers" in the balloon.

  2. Something that is undefined and doesn't have constraints on it to tell it what it is and what it is not; the other side on the coin of infinity. Infinity is endless defined 'something,' while void is infinite unspecified potential, but isn't something yet. The more information something (an event, an object, ect.) has, the closer it gets to infinity, and the closer it gets to none, to closer to void it gets. Things in our lives don't reach either end, with the more 'void' something has, or lack of boundaries, the more potentials or uncertainties it has; and observing something locks things down and makes it further from void. 

    (This was a ramble of ideas on the spot so it isn't super coherent or reasonable or really well thought out: apologies.)

  3. I've been working on completing the balloon, and was making paper in the paper machine, but the paper seems to stack weirdly. Before I put any paper in the balloon, I made a set of 2 paper 3 times. "2 paper" seems to be it's own item almost. And when I tried to put in the machine, it only showed it as me having two paper, when it seemed like I had at least 3 items total (which should be six paper I think). And when I put one of these items in the balloon, it showed it as having only put one in. (I think it showed me as having just 'paper(3)' after but I don't have a screenshot) After I tried to make another paper it showed me with four paper but still shows the balloon as having 1 item put in it and I have only 1 item to put in. I'm really not sure what to do.

  4. Definitely, I like your idea, and maybe a very small chance to permanently increase the associated stat; though the increase would have to be minimal. And maybe a cooldown on it, maybe not based on the likelihood of the increase. Though, that might also be a terrible idea. Or maybe separate evolution paths, where the more difficult one to obtain could permanently boost (still with the miniscule chance of a permanent increase), but the other would give bigger boosts (temporary though).

    I don't really know the stat system very well, but at least I know that such a creature would have to be very rare. 

    Though I don't know well enough to say such a hypothetical creature should be able to give permanent boost; maybe at it's highest evolution.

     

  5. I just thought it might be interesting to have a rare creature that can steal small portions of enemy creature stats and add it to themselves(maybe recoverable over time); but at the same time it can lose stats to other creatures. If collaborated well, it could be a neat way for one player to boost the power of a creature. It could also make some fights more interesting (and dangerous).

    Even if this was a viable idea though, it would probably have to be quite rare.

    Y'all can say your ideas for crits that have been bouncing around your heads here also.

  6. Also I noticed that a lot of specific things that people are trying to "create" as principles could be, for lack of a better word, concepts. Like life and force. But somethings are harder to classify like mathematics or perception. It is very difficult for me to explain this into words.

    True, it's tough to come up with ideas not already covered in the principles we have, especially since Manu put a lot of care into crafting them. We have to look for concepts in our own world that need representing. Here are a few suggestions:

    Principle of Energy

    - Opposite of Element Principle

    - Real-world physics places these two as opposites yet connected, with matter turning into energy, and energy turning into matter (Perhaps these two principles could be subbordinate to the Principle of Balance)

    - we could have four kinds of energy, one for each element (light/heat = fire, gravity/inertia = earth, motion = air, ? = water)

    *EDIT water could be some sort of dissipation, since it slows down motion with viscosity, cools heat, and stops gravity with surface tension

    Principle of Space

    - Somehow opposite to the Principle of Time? I really have no clue where to go with this one. o_O (It may already be covered in Transposition, yet it seems to have so much more potential)

    Principle of Relativity

    - Like Einstein's? Again, I'm stumped.

    Principle of the Soul

    - Something to help explain life, emotion, and death. Also it could cover the nature of us, the visitors to the MagicDuel universe, and our effect on it.

    Again, these are just suggestions. Feel free to edit/tinker/go wild with any of it :)

    The principle of space and the principle of relativity would both be governed by the principle of time. The names don't directly say everything about the principle, for words can not always fully grasp the concept with one word. 

    And the principle of soul might be under the jurisdiction of transposition, I am not sure but my reasoning for this is that a "soul" would be an identity, which would be under transposition. 

     

    A principle is a complex concept. Trying to convert singular thoughts into principles would not be accurate.

     

    I hope this helps.
