Each King and Queen received a Royal Seal Ring that they can use every 3 hours to grant citizenship to someone…… Citizenship is important and i will take it into consideration for current and future features and competitions. You should familiarize yourself good with the principles and ways of a land and also with its current people, before hasting to become a citizen of one.

[b]Ann. 1304 - [2010-02-24 16:51:00 - Alpha 9][/b]
Marind Bell items were dispatched to random players online.
This date is marked as important to Marind Bell citizens because of the 2 items that became iconic to this land, the Ceremonial Sword of Marind Bell and the Sword of the Knight Commander. Because the swords were randomly dispatched they were not in the hands of Marind Bell affiliated players in the beginning. An effort to recover them was made by Lifeline, Emerald Arcanix and Chewett. The one who succeeded in this task was Chewett.
The two items have since been passed from player to player holding the title of Knight Commander of the Bell and King/Queen of Marind Bell but at the time of this document writing the Sword of the Knight Commander is again misplaced, haven’t been passed down to the current Knight Commander, Clock Master, by the former Knight Commander, Lightsage.

[b]Ann. 1349 - [2010-03-13 02:23:39 - Alpha 9][/b]
By request of MB King, Knights of the Bell increased to max 50 seats and The Seekers of Enlightenment dropped to 10. For further details about this change refer to their alliance or land pages (when/if they will get upaded with this info).

[b]Ann. 1367 - [2010-03-19 14:57:22 - Alpha 9][/b]
Kings Council
Kings of the 4 lands are negociating and deciding right now the new regeneration timers and alliance/guild stats for their lands. Results will be announced after implemented.

[b]Ann. 1374 - [2010-03-24 03:37:14 - Alpha 9][/b]
[b]Land settings changed after negociations[/b]
After the 4 kings discussed these settings, here are changes that occured regarding the 4 main land settings and also for players without a land affiliation:

Non-ally/non-citizen players: Max Action Points (AP) dropped from 100 to 90. Refresh interval slower from 10 to 12 min.

Citizenship Approvals[/b]
Kings can now review and approve citizenship applications from their interface (side bar menu). They can also send a pm regarding the denial reasons or approval congratulations directly from the citizenship application review page. At this point citizenship management should be complete.
- R


With the introduction of the citizenship feature we also got land loyalty that will matter in a number of ways, including voting power and movement in a land, [b]Ann. 2039 - [2011-10-01 19:22:08 - Stage 11] :[/b]

[b]Ann. 1672 - [2010-11-22 02:58:33 - Stage 10][/b]
the beginning of the GG Cave incident
Lifeline Kingship penalty
An official character, especially a king, commits a big crime if he sets such a negative example of ignorance towards announcements and rules. Cave was closed, officially, and announced, long ago. Lifeline took a deliberate decision to ignore his uncertainty about if he should enter the cave or not. An other condamnable act is that a King of a land cares to develop something in an other land, ignoring borders, and not trying to bring the activiy to his land.

Lifeline Player penalty
Chase spell was removed for Lifeline. To avoid placing unaware players in potentially punishable situation because missuse of what were supposed admin spells, chase spells were removed from inactive accounts that still had them, (Jonn, MRD).

What seemed like an official solution to this incident was posted on [b]24 November 2010[/b] in the forum by Yrthilian, King of Golemus at that time: [url="http://magicduel.inv...ind-bell-talks/"]http://magicduel.inv...ind-bell-talks/[/url]
This event has seen its conclusion on [b]Ann. 1685 - [2010-11-29 00:04:03 - Stage 10][/b]
[b]Four days have passed, Council has decided:[/b]

Lifeline: The chase spell will not be given back. It is an Administrative spell and Lifeline has shown how it can be abused. The council has decided to remove it from all
who do not have an administrative role. In exchange those who lose the chase spell will receive a Wishpoint as compensation. We do not consider the removal
of the spell as punishment. It is just a precaution messure.
All Lifelines GG Drachorns will be reset to eggs (Level 1,0 wins, 0xp, 0 age) as a punishment for desecrating the lair.Existing tokens and other customizations will not be touched.
1 Kingship point will be deducted from Lifeline because his ignorance and lack of interest towards the games rules.

SmartAlekRJ: All RJ's Drachorns will suffer the same punishment as Lifelines's.
RJ remains trapped in the Lair for 1 Month.

Seigheart: Will have 2 weeks in Jail for his disregard of the rules and willingness to break them.

Manda: GG Drach will be confiscated due to this being the second offence relating to this matter. Will have 2 weeks in Jail.

*MasterB*: Will have 2 weeks in Jail and removal of citizenship, with the possibility of being accepted back anytime if GG king decides so.

All the other players: Since most of the other players were brought to the cave unknowingly, and did not take part in planning and organising this, they will be spared this time.

However, Since MdM asked us to consider only lifeline's complaint only his punishment will be changed. This would have been the initial decision taken if indeed MdM had not stepped in.
