Steno

Also why haven't I done this yet?! It is so obvious!

Desire for that which can never be, for the ineffable beyond-ness from our known world.

Quest is on pause until I can figure out how to fix the issue. I apologize for the delay everyone!

Hi, everyone!
As per Ann. 5237, I tried listing everything I could find that took place right after the 15th birthday up to today. I know I missed some months, so please help me in updating this work in progress  (also sorry if I added stuff from before the 15th birthday)
I thought about sending a PM to Chewett but then I figured it would be better for us to work together instead of listing the same stuff on our own, so I made it public.
I tried defining "major categories" for the events, but feel free to suggest other ways to organize those. Here comes the (quite big) list...

@lashtalhas agreed to be gracious enough to give a free pass for today only.
However, there’s a hitch! He said he would only patrol on even hours. So you only have so much time! 
wait... or was it odd hours? I told you my memory was bad. Like I said hopefully you figure it out!

Hello everyone!
This quest is about a proclamation the King and Grand Duke, Chewett made. I will post where and how to start this quest once registration closes. There will be infantile MDScript involved, so if something doesn't work, please let me know (though I'm on a phone and therefore not much use in changing it)
Once you have read the introduction section of the quest (there's 5 parts), then it will tell you to come back here. Then post here which route you choose.
This quest has 3 different pathways: 
A) Artistic: where you create your own ritual of transforming the creature-must start quest to get guidelines 
 B) Basic clickie: Where you follow in darkraptor's footsteps using his journal to make the transformation occur (has basic riddles to make you find next location---some clickies were created for this quest, so you'll have to examine scenes with care as new clickies may be there-or defunct clickies turned to mdscript) and
C) Cipher: Where you take the final page of darkraptor's journal and decrypt what it says and follow its instructions
Once you choose a specific route, you will need to declare it here. Once you declare, the path that you chose must be the path that you finish with. For obvious reasons, I will be looking at timestamps, if you complete the survey within 20 minutes of my posting here, then I know that you probably didn't read whatever was in the boxes or had somehow got a headstart. (I timed it myself several times). Your time will automatically be changed to 30 minutes from posting or whatever won't let you win. (so yeah, don't test me :P)
The first person to complete will receive an elu &2GC, 2nd & 3rd will receive 1 old, old crit from me or a just-released crit, and 4th&5th will receive 2 random spellstones and 2SC each. All participants will receive plushies as always. If someone is particularly fast, or particularly over-and-above in their entry, there may be further rewards...  
For each route, to get further guidance on how to proceed, you must go to the location of the hint [Elu3] and try to "discover" what to do next.
Alts are allowed, provided they complete a different route from your main character. 
 
Timeline: Registration opens NOW and closes 4/23 @ 23:00 ST. Again, you will need to pick your route and declare in your response in this thread, declaring your route counts as your registration. You cannot change routes, besides to see what else there is to see. The race will start about 19:00 ST 4/24. Now there may be an old survey link in the last stage of the this quest in the clickie. I can't access my script to see what it says, but if there's an issue, PM me ASAP so there's a timestamp, thanks. PM when you finish as well.

Had to happen someday...!
I'm extending submissions by 24 hours to 25/04/2021 23:59 ST as I won't really be around proper until late Sunday now.
 

And you call my quests evil... :3
Lashtal is gonna have another field day xD

So... since I have around 80 different clickies modified and I had to try to find a certain one without a laptop which has the saved notes,
I came upon a most curious clickie that I typed. It involves a riddle. One which I can’t solve myself. Due to being on my phone I am unable to copy and paste the full thing from the clickie box.
To find the riddle and clickie, please go into NC (while not being killed) and find a death anchor scene. Then “read” while in that scene. Within the MDScript is a riddle.
Please forum PM me your guesses as to the answer.
the person who guesses correctly shall gain 10 plushies from me as well as 2GC.
All participants who send a sensible answer shall receive 1SC.

timeline: now until... 5/5.
 

Ledah, finally making his own quest??!!! How the tables have turned!

Ledah, finally making his own quest??!!! How the tables have turned!

thebishop - attack creature with lowest health after 2 rounds if original target was random
the queen - attack multiple, even if the craeture doesnt have that ability, all enemy units under 50% vit

Hello mind crusher. 

Nobody stopped me from getting the idea, its clearly a community failiure

Desire for that which can never be, for the ineffable beyond-ness from our known world.

That which is always there, but will never be here.

A game about stories. Stories that you choose not only what happens, but where it goes, how it impacts you, and even what that story is. I've learned that in MagicDuel one often has their character go and explore options, or routes, that they(or I) would never take as a person. My character might find fulfillment in doing something that I never would in my real life. Then the realization hits that my character and I are not so different after all. In that moment, the friends, the choices, the decisions, the stories become more than just part of a game and a character, they become real, they become part of you. All of those times when your character did something that forced you out of your comfort zone, you've realized that your comfort zone has now grown. I have been pushed, pulled, and gravitated to many things in MagicDuel, all of these have made me do two things: learn and grow.

I’d like to be involved in discussions concerning resources and land loyalty, though the frequency of my contributions might be a little lacking.

Totally not me ????

@Ledah and MagicDuel
