If I see you in a place where you shouldn't be I will PM you why you are there and you will need to have serious proofs that isn't your fault. For example if a player that doesn't participate in the contest will teleport you out from the restricted land you will need to take a screen with trigger box (for see the teleport spell on you) and server time with the date and send it to me ([email="MRAlyon@yahoo.it"]MRAlyon@yahoo.it[/email]).

Root Admin Chewett Posted March 7, 2013 Root Admin Report Posted March 7, 2013 As commented in the previous one, it is a better idea to send bugs to bugs@md, instead of deciding yourself if its a bug, due to the more limited experiance you have with bugs and the fact that the land rules superseed any for contests and others, stating that you need to email bugs.Really you should change your rules so they dont contradict the official rules and confuse people
Valldore Nal Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 I'm not familiar with BHC, but i do have some questions. Why not allow players not participating to help the participants ? I had the idea that cooperations always took place and it never had to do anything with participations or not .... First, through my experience in HC if a player doesn't have creatures to defend with, he/she loses their head anyway. So , what's exactly the point of not allowing fighters without creatures to participate ?(if things work the same with BHC, which i assume they do) (same goes for illusions and frog spell as well, on the same way why not ban mirrorritual spell as well then and only frog ? ) Jump to leader, teleport spells and summon spells are not allowed ? May i ask why is that if they don't brake any of the other rules mentioned ? What's the reason not allowing those specific spells/abilities ? ignnus, MRAlyon and Zyrxae 2 1
No one Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 one more event ? so early after the last one ? And ... isn't this similar to the last event ? Can't you just try a different kind of contest like : "capture the flag" or "team fights" ? Is that interface so limited that you can only do this old / used type ?

stavaroiu Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Just want to point out that this Test Contest overlaps with Day of Fear where a considerable amount of ppl already signed up for. For those that would like to participate in both contests it will be like forcing them to pick one contest over the other. DARK DEMON, No one and Plix Plox 3

MRAlyon Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Posted March 8, 2013 day of fear will be the 13th day, instead my contest will the the 14th day.... day of fear will not finish the 13th? or will start on 13th day? if so I will change date of my contest @vall... player that didn't sign up can't help the partecipants because there is the entrance fee for something... partecipants to the contest can work togheter for let win one of them... after for now rues will stay s... if I see problems with them I will change them again for next contests... @no one... I'm doing anothr contest now because the group of lands that partecipate are different if you saw it... after this contest maybe I will do this every 2 months or more...

No one Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Yea, I noticed the difference in lands, but the whole concept is the same. I appreciate that you will make it possible to the new ppl to walk on these lands with virtually no viscosity. ignnus and MRAlyon 1 1

As for the other rules, yeah, if you see problems you will change them, but what i'm trying is to see the reason for those rules. Is there any specific reason for having them in the first place ? ignnus and MRAlyon 1 1
MRAlyon Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Posted March 8, 2013 yeah because I already have done the contest and partecipants to first contest suggested me to add these rules... about outside helps... you can sign up and help the player that you want... don't help him without be into the contest... No one, ignnus and Plix Plox 3
Valldore Nal Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Yes but you still haven't answered why. You did all the feedback from the previous test contest via pm, so the rest of the community isn't aware of the issues that may have been raised from the participants (or maybe it's just me that i'm not aware of the issues raised) What were the arguments the participants of the first test gave that persuaded you to add this rules ? Or other reasons that you thought that would support those rules ? MRAlyon and No one 1 1
Seigheart Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 My contest does last for a week. And will not require 100% of the time during the week. So it is completely possible for someone to participate in both, however, it is unwise due to the nature of the BHC, and the fact that you WILL loose something if you sign up for the Day of Fear, and fail. Good day. Plix Plox and No one 1 1
ignnus Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I see no problem with outside people interfering Unless they can take heads.Here is what happened: Rhaegar helped Clock Master with various stoppage-locks..Burns was helping Nim in Golemus.Tal got my heads by mistake(bug) without being in the contest (returned them like a boss).Some random guy movelocked me....what whas I saying?..I think it's not good sense to rule people out from BHC More data shows outside people won't cause any problems.Jaden helped me with few mirrors:S Edited March 8, 2013 by ignnus MRAlyon and No one 1 1
Valldore Nal Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 That's exactly why i've been asking for MRAlyon's reasons for applying those rules, cause i'm trying to understand what problems have been caused. I agree with you ignnus, i see no problem allowing outsiders to affect participants in various ways (as long as they don't brake other rules, such as for example to teleport participants outside from the currently active land) Getting heads should indeed not be allowed (except of if HC and BHC runs at the same time, which has always been a way to "trade" heads between 2 contests). P.S. *Whistles innocently* Shame on that random guy that tried to movelock you ....... If you see him, give him a hug ignnus and MRAlyon 1 1
MRAlyon Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) as I already told you if you want partecipate and help someone you need to sign up... because you need to prepare yourself to the contest before the start of it not during the contest buying continually stone, cups of tea etc... so if you will start the cntest with 5 cups of tea you will have to use only these 5 cups and not more... if a player give items to you and you will not tell me this I will ban from partecipation all 2 players... and if you get an item you need to gie it back and tell me who send it to you so I will ask gently to other player to don't interfere during contest because if he want partecipate to it he could have signed up before... example: if I ask you... would yu want play a game with other 2 person? you answer no.... while we are playing you interfere in the game helping one of the player... this isn't correct... I asked you to play a game not to help one of us... date of the contest changed so there will not be probems with other contests...

Valldore Nal Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Hhhmmm, by help i only thought you meant the use of spells in ones favor (which was an assumption on my part, obviously wrong from you last post) . Maybe it would be a good idea to define better what "help" means, just to avoid confusions (and bad assumptions like the one i did) Even though i still get the feeling that by not allowing others to "affect" the contest you pretty much remove a nice random element that could make BHC more fun (just my point of view of course). But i can see that you have something specific in mind by applying that rule (to force people to organize prior to the contest, i guess in an attempt to make it more challenging). And (at least for as long as i'm in the realm) it was never run like that, so giving it a try would show if it actually has the results you expect. What about the other rules i mentioned ? Would you mind explaining the reasons behind those decisions as well pls ? ignnus, MRAlyon, Zyrxae and 1 other 2 2

MRAlyon Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) all kind of helps aren't accepted... don't interfere if you don't partecipate... this is the last time that I will reply again to this question... if you want understand you ca understand it...

Tipu Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 but i never broke any rules ... i never casted any spells ...it was all that damn kid doing . Yes unfortunately there r some forces evenn i can't control. atleast do i get back my sc ...? Zyrxae, DARK DEMON, MRAlyon and 2 others 1 4
Fang Archbane Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I don't normally side with Alyon, as our points of view are almost always too different. But I do side with logic. 1) you decided to join 2) Alyon already said no refunds once the contest starts 3) you died due to your own actions I feel the bottom line is pretty clear. Sorry Sippy Cup, close (not really), but no cigar Edited March 30, 2013 by Fang Archbane MRAlyon, Watcher and Chewett 1 2
