i would like to see for very long time already the unadept button, which would ofc remove you from being adept of xxxxx person, how currently things work are that once ya become somebodys adept, ya always must be adept of that person or of some other, but ya cant unadept, only way not to be adept of anybody is if ya reged without referrer id and by now pickin adepthood during whole game, i mean why would i have to be somebodys adept if i dont want to, simple as that

Related points raised in this thread (probably); http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/7766-adept-forever-maybe-not/

related but not same...

i am askin simply for button that removes your adepthood, just like ya can remove your protector nowdays

if ya can change who ya are adept of like socks why not be able to be nobodys adept

What's the difference between being nobody's adept and being a random inactive account's adept? Some words under your name.

its big difference, me dunt want those words under name

Anyone considering the option of being your own adept? Just that it wont count for the list.

[color="#660000"]You can not be your own adept.[/color]

you lose % (for example, 30%) of your Loyalty if you choose to be an adept of nobody?

Nobody is going to go for the penalty nadrolski because protector and adept are very different things. A adept is supposed to be nothing more than a mentor program with some additional benefits where protectors are actually supposed to support there worshipers. I think a penalty of any kind would be a bad idea. If you choose to be an adept of nobody and you lose % loyalty you would also need to apply it to changing who you are an adept of since that is the same degree of betrayal.

I know, Grido, but why not, when it won't be counted for anything.

For reasons I don't really want to go into (cos I'm lazy atm), mechanically speaking, you technically are already your own adept. Might muck things up.

what about hiding your adept (no one can ever see who's your mentor)

Not an option since this can be abused by haveing alts adepting the same person (I am talking about mp6 mainly).

Once you have been mentored by someone you can't just 'unmentor' yourself. So I don't see why you should be able to unadept yourself at all.

Good point Z. And thinking over this I am beginning to widen the parameters:

Assume we have an "Unadept" button. We click it.
Since this is an agreement between two persons the protector receives a short message with interactive options:[list]
[*]yes
[*]no, request meeting/ send PM
[/list]
Without answering to any of those, the adept can't really change or unadept.

In this way the protector can express how he feels about the adept. If they have discussed this already and both agree, then the Yes option is the easiest way.

A decision is made only after both clear the issue.

Keep in mind I am just thinking over this with the assumption there is such button. Which there isn't right now.

So then what you do is switch to a friend, and then ask to leave them if your adeptor doesnt agree

*facepalms* I thought this was in the post. Apparently it isn't. It would apply in any option - unadepting or switching adepts. The next issues coming from this I believe will be going straight to the council.

i didnt see this line

What happens to people who dont play? a timer surely should allow you to leave if you didnt get a reply within 20 days or so.

I saw this coming, but then I asked myself - is a protector really good one, if can't answer a simple question for 3 weeks straight?

oke then z, it should have been made that nobody can change his master/mentor at all, atm everyone is switchin them like socks, but unadeptin aint option? funny


as for rest... wut prot has to do with this... bein adept of someone dusent mean that someone is prot or that he even aims at prot status

I remember protectors saying they are losing adepts due to inactivity, wasn't it that if you go 5 days inactive you are no longer an adept of someone? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you really didn't want to be an adept of someone, do that.

If you are inactive for 5 days, you'll not count in the pool of adepts for that specific mp6. You are still an adept but without actually helping the mp6.

Actually, the person stays your Adept, but is not counted in terms of "activity".
So while I may, for example, have 36 Adepts, only 31 of them are active. If too many fall asleep, their names will still show as "adept of Maebius" when you look at themm, but not be valid for their Protector staying MP6.

And then comes the timer Chett mentioned

Again, don't forget all this is based on a pure assumption.

I cannot say anything about "nobody" buy you can be adept of "no one" of you want
I do have some adepts that I think they have chosen just like that.

You Lib ... i would gladly accept as adept
