I am holding a heads contest at the start of the month February until the end of the month, highest head count wins - only valid if a player has used a location 3 days in a row. 10 gold note reward for the winner.

Ok so Ledah has won the last contest! You can receive your reward from Aia. Nobody actually won second place prize, though Ishtari was close to qualifying, I will give them a gold coin consolation when I see them next.
I was going to give an extra reward for anyone who could bring the info to me but nobody really did, oh well, was just some fun since I wasnt around to reward the victors immediately (no computer)

Studies show I may have not checked who the winner of the last contest was, if someone can correlate the information well enough I will reward the victors

it has been reduced in frequency to a point that I'm not so bothered by it any more

Yes I will accept this sponsorship, and move the 10 gold note down to the 2nd place prize, and remind people they have half a month left to use a heads clicky (I have placed in 3 separate lands) 3 days in a row to qualify.

was this extreme or no? :P

"There also needs to be some more incentives for fighting for alliances, it could be something simple tied to sacrificing, maybe there is a service offered that alliances uniquely posses. Any alliance with a high enough score (of some variable?) can provide the usage of altars for people who are not balanced - that player would need to give the alliance some offering for their usage, that will then go to the respective stock."
Here is the basis for a new idea surrounding alliances. It could be a clickable item in your land that is unique to it, it may have multiple functions. One such may interact with heads, others described above. Overall I think there needs to be some agreement between alliance members in their land as to what the function should do for them. Here we may discuss this.

Curse, turntofrog

i will join

real items to do so like a jetpack are hefty/expensive. MD styled items may be so as well if not sufficiently magically imbued. 
Something like a zeppelin to fly from somewhere would be a massive effort to craft and utilize.

A secret heads contest is beginning today until the end of the month, PM me for further instructions on how to participate.
The winner will receive one 10 Gold Note
Second place will receive 3 gold coins.

I am cancelling this tournament due to no participation/interest, however if you want to play the templates they are below.
A short description for each round followed by positions to copy/paste and then the ruleset for the templates to be used are provided here in this spoiler tag:
 

my votes if i remember correctly along with reasoning
fyrd+ valoryn- Fyrd has been active and good with a25 lately, I had much like for his old clicky questline in the past. Valoryn inactive as can be
chewett+ antyvas- Chewett has been doing good coding and other activity lately. Antyvas inactive if not for gathering, but I have never heard from this player personally, almost put nad here but I can't put nadrolski in a bad light even if hes the same as Antyvas lately
aia+ chriselnenepr- Aia has been valuable to md in recent years even if less active currently. Chrisel manages to sneak his way into my alliance without talking to me first and seems to have an idea about the game that is outdated
fang+ ledah- Fang is basically my best friend online and he has more care for things than people will realize. Ledah has been sullying the name of the caretakers with death instead of life

Might make sense that you can't vote the same person twice in a row, in order to give the list some variety or I foresee a lot of the same people being chosen each time.

On hidden scenes, they make it very easy to win if you have access and very few other people do. I think they should be closed for everyone, or that you can't gain points if you are inside these scenes.
