Seigheart Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I did this once for a month last year. I now rarely post. I used to post on every thread, and CONSTANTLY looked at the forums. Now I check them once a day, and skip many threads. Bold threads in the Newest list no longer have a power over me.

Ackshan Bemunah Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Lots of fun so far from our one vocal participant, Chewett. It is worth noting that I recognize (some of) the importance and value of the forum to MD. The purpose of the quest is not "death to the forum". In fact, participants are required to return to the forum.

Valldore Nal Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 The following message is from Chewett, who asked me to post it on his behalf. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have spoken with Numerius and he has stated that he is worried that he will recieve some form of punishment for me participating in his quest. I would like to make it clear that no one should blame him for me participating in the quest, I saw an oppertunity to attain a wishpoint so i can buy the ability to edit a scene name and description. However i would like to point out that when i applied for the quest the actual scoring, time length and other important details were incredibly unclear. Thusly there have been many revisions to the quest spec. Even going so far as to have spent nearly an hour discussing this with a number of people. I believe Numerius now knows that all of us are quite confused as to the perticulars of the quest and he will be adding more information. One of the main points i was unaware of is that he plans this quest to possibly indefinate, which is rather problematic as it is not possible for me to leave the forum indefinately. He is going to be sending me a PM later detailing more information soon. Until then you can follow my progress for the quest on: http://magicduel.com/players/chewett ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dst, Plix Plox and Chewett 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackshan Bemunah Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) [size=2]Originally a corrected version of the quest was in this post. The main post has now been updated, though, and now there is no reason why someone should want to compare that with the original, so I have removed it.[/size] Edited March 22, 2013 by Ackshan Bemunah Plix Plox, Chewett, John Constantine and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowseeker Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Might as well. I'm kind of amazed you set the deadline into June...but I think I will too participate, and go on strike. I don't think it'll be the entire time, but who knows when I'll come back here? My calendar now has an entry reminding me to come back on the 15th of June. How am I supposed to prove that I did experience pain though, when I normally just check regularly for info? Removal of bookmarks? I sincerely hope you will be able to address my concerns and explain this further ingame, for I shall not be able to read this anymore. I will also refuse reading by proxy of someone else sending me the things you post in here, since that would mean I receive news from the forums while pretending I left. See you all in a few months here. S Plix Plox and dst 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackshan Bemunah Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Submission deadline will be June 21. You may submit submissions before the entry deadline of June 14, you could even submit one tomorrow. They will all be judged as one starting June 21. [size=1]I did this so that anyone choosing to leave the forum for the duration of the quest has a chance to submit[/size] [quote name='Shadowseeker' timestamp='1363782501' post='134228'] Might as well. I'm kind of amazed you set the deadline into June...[/quote] I don't expect very many people to really understand what this quest is about for a while. So far my expectations are confirmed. My hope is that people will have the chance to see what a good submission looks like and then will have ideas of their own. [quote] I think I will too participate, and go on strike. I don't think it'll be the entire time, but who knows when I'll come back here? [/quote] Generally people go on strike AGAINST something and say what it is...but okay.

[/quote] I am posting an answer on the forum anyway, but will inform you directly in game some time soon. The proxy thing is your choice, if that will help you improve your submission's quality, then so be it. Obviously, the pain that you prove must be a provable pain. How you go about ensuring that provable pain happens -- more careful tracking would make pain that is more subtle provable, while inflicting pain that is less subtle and still in some sense a consequence of your absence would make the pain itself more provable.

Root Admin Chewett Posted March 22, 2013 Root Admin Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have finished this quest. Why? Forum was getting spammed and i had to do something. I also have numerious things i need to use the forum for, for my role. Numerius has publically stated my entries arnt in the format and that i wont win... In conclusion, Mur and council have made it clear that the type of quest shouldnt be ran, let alone be given a WP for. about a quarter of entries are on my profile page, i didnt even waste my time uploading all the other stuff since Numerius wont count it.
