Jubaris Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Seigheart' timestamp='1345651701' post='120744'] For months now, there have been dead people in the realm. Hedge Munos, Seigheart, Phantom Orched, Fang Archbane. Whether these characters were killed for being rude, wish to die a true death, or for simply helping another person out, they do not need to remain dead. Therefore, as Head of the Treasure Keepers, I am challenging the entire realm to revive at least one person using the new Master of Death, Molquert. Complete his quest, and revive at least one person, and you will be rewarded with a WP/code. Limited to one WP per person, per revival. One person can't revive all four, and expect four WPs. Seigheart, Master of the Hoard [/quote] Isn't this a conflict of interests? Just saying...

Seigheart Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Of course you are "just saying". No, it's not. There is no reason for anyone to revive me. If anything, I'd rather that they didn't, because I'd just be killed immediately again.If you are unhappy with this challenge, feel free to email Council, but do not spam this topic.

Root Admin Chewett Posted August 22, 2012 Root Admin Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I would think that it's a bad idea to revive hedge when he had a private ceremony with peace when he died. I feel it unfair to impose the own quest to force others to make someone do something against their will, I'm sure peace will confirm that he wished to remain dead Seigheart and ignnus 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubaris Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Could a mod then move all of these posts after the first one into a new topic, for analyzing the quest rather than 'violating' this one for official quest announcements? I think we have an important discussion on the horizon... There are several controversial details about this quest.

Ivorak Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I've been told that it takes more than one person to win Molquert's quest. If so, wishpoints might be problematic, unless you wish to give multiple wishpoints for one revival. Anyway, I am offering a bounty of 20 silver for the first team to do so, as announced in the mood panel. Maybe you could mention that in your first post too (I didn't plan to make a forum topic, but if there is one, it might as well state all relevant awards).

Phantom Orchid Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) As much as I would like a free WP...

Shadowseeker Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I just modded this as requested, but my opinion on this: While it's fine to use personal resources, using an official position's (TK) reward stock is what like Curiose did at times, leaving a mixed reception overall. Thus while I fully endorse statements like: I will pay people out of my own pocket, etc; I think TK stock should not be used for a case like this, where conflicting interests obviously intersect. dst, Jubaris, Sparrhawk and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seigheart Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I do not get any tangible reward. I get an item effect removed from me. That is all. I, as the Leader of the TKs, can use the Treasury as I see fit, bar a few restrictions, one of which, is that I may not use it for personal gain. Is getting an item effect removed a personal gain? No. I do not think it is, because that would imply that being killed is a permanent negative effect. Or that being "alive" is something that is a reward, not a normal state. A normal state is NOT a reward or a benefit of any kind. It's something that is the norm. Right? So, in my eyes it is not a reward. Of any kind.

Jubaris Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Do we really have to argue about you having benefit of getting revived? I don't know how do you plan us to continue discussing things if you refuse to accept elementary logical conclusions. edit: need to add that the reason why I see this important is because it is a question of official MD rewards that are supposed to be "super neutral" (which they rarely were, but still...), yet they are used as a personal tool for subjective use rather than heading towards objective direction. If this were your creatures, your coins or whatever that is yours, you could pose as many ridiculous requirements for them to be used as a reward. WPs and TK property are something different.

Mallos Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 So nobody has been revived by this new method created specificly to revive people? It seems like people need a little more motivation then, ex. a wishpoint. Whether or not Seigheart gains from this (which there's no guaruntee he will) I think he's doing a good thing sponsoring the quest.

Seigheart Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Which is EXACTLY the point, Falronn! But people focus entirely on the fact that it's Seigheart, lets nit pick and find something wrong with this JUST because it is Seigheart. I am sponsoring Molquerts quest. That is my job as TK leader. To sponsor quests. It is a GOOD quest, otherwise there wouldn't be such a high reward as this.

Jubaris Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 One more thing. Revival is supposed to be done by those that are dead themselves, with their will, efforts in doing that Molquart's quest. Will of the community for their survival is legitimate too. But this is neither, this is buying people off, there's no will to get them revived, it's just the will to get the fancy rewards. Now, it's ok if someone from the list buys people off to help him... That may fall under the will I guess, though lazy kind... But, I'm saying this again, you're using here TK resources, you're using WP as a reward, and you are on the list, yet you still claim this is "all cool"? You know what? Let's say your are unbiased and the fact that you are on the list is not bothering your reason. WP of a reward would be ok for this case... But without making it public, if you would reward someone AFTER the whole event to recognize their great achievement, rather than clearly state here what does someone need to do for your WP, then it would be legitimate. This way, you're buying people off to do your dirty work. Liberty4life, Phantom Orchid and Vicious 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maebius Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) This is an interesting case. On one hand, I agree that sponsoring the Molquert quest with a WishPoint is a valid thing. Good for you to inspire soem activity there, Seigheart. On the other hand, if Seig is the one who gets revived, that crosses some pretty strong grey-areas and looks suspiciously like "buying a revival with TK rewards". Regardless of the original intent. I don't envy Council to judge/jury if this is "fair" or even "legal" or not. I say, let the request stand, and see what happens when revivals actually happen? If Molquert can revive multiple people, and requires more than one person's effort to Succeed, then it gets even more muddled. But for my opinion, I think it's a valid try, at least, until the act itself happens and we go through the 'fallout' of details then. If it turns out badly, then we know not to do it again. If not, and someone gets revived for a WP, then, yay, someone's alive and someone else gets a wish! Yes, I would like to play a game. (I also am not even going to get into the statement of death being an item effect, or "normal", or any of that. I'll keep my opinions to "sponsor a WP for revival" as the original topic) Edited August 23, 2012 by Maebius Vicious and Tom Pouce 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipstickz Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Molquert is a Council-sponsored quest, the reward being something special and unique: revival. To me, the fact that people are offering rewards like this is an insult to anybody trying to revive people for its own sake. If the powers that be find that Molquert is not working, it'll change, though it may take time. Patience. If you still want to reward people for the effort of reviving people, I would suggest not advertising it and seeking them out after they do it. As for the conflict of interests stuff, there's not much else to be said: Seig, good job, you have an excellent way of causing problems and then getting angry about it.

Kaya Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Seigh, could I get a WP for the one to get me back to balance? Being balanced is normal, right? Molquert should be very well able to get his own rewards for the quest. If you want to reward those that resurrect you I think that would be a good thing, but only as long as you use your own funds for it.

If you can't recognize a difference in assumptions, the appropriate response is NOT to assume stupidity. Ignorance, maybe... Seig is in a position where he thinks the revival quest needs additional sponsorship, yet has a personal stake. The appopriate solution is that this muchneeded sponsorship come from another source (probably not council unless absolutely necessary): But somehow all those who could do thhis have a personal stake....AGAINST SEIGHEART...putting him in a REALLY AWFUL position. Hope I am right or at least not impossible to understand or correct.
