Stop arguing and vote for me! Yes, that's right. Vote for dst!! Shall I start with the "what I will do/wanna do" speech? I would rather not.

I mean seriously, just look at that clown outfit she sports... rahr! >2: I like having my account. Oh god, please don't unleash your bugs upon me! Ruuuuuuun! ~~~~~~~~ Seriously though, I have to say that so far, I don't like any of the candidates except Chewett (and dst, of course >.> please don't smite me!). After the recent fiasco with Necrovion (read Observers post, then my next one, before you comment on Lifeline not being in the SoE), I question Lifelines ability to look out for the best interests of the land. And Pip, as has already been expressed your connection with the land is questionable, so I question your ability to even KNOW what is best for the land. As it stands, this may be the first vote I abstain from. You want my vote? You better have a very good argument in your application you sent to Mur. Because so far, I haven't seen much evidence of your worth. EITHER OF YOU. Note: Not an attack on your policies, I think you both have good ones. I just don't see why those policies require you to be in that capacity to perform them. (A fact that Chewett has himself seemingly asserted, by saying that his and Lifelines plans, instigated initially by Mur, will go ahead regardless) Make MB more inviting and popular?

Lifeline Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 lemme get this straight Pip u never even tried to apply for SoE even tho u were interested because u THOUGHT u would get rejected? now u want to become king but had fear of rejection to only ask if u could join an alliance? is this how a king would act? does this show that u are even a little close to any of the 2 MB alliances? and u being in a lot of alliance has nothing to do with it. we never had problems with ppl who were in several alliances before the only problem was when those ppl decided to quickly jump into another alliance and then come back to SoE. only then they were rejected and not because they were in like 2 alliances before. and Kyphis what do u mean with fiasco in necro. both me and chew totally stayed out of the whole thing. none of us supporter Lib and yrth in the war against necro. i even stated before the final battle in a public topic on forums that i wont participate no matter what because it was totally against my values. let me please remind u. i stayed out and as a consequence of the war with which i had nothing to do KoB was lost. a few days ago i managed to get KoB back and it fully belongs to MB again. or wasnt that in the best interest for the land? should i have better left KoB in the hands of necro and surrendered it? and Pip who is this last co-leader u speak of who got kicked and demoted? i have no clue whom u are talking about ... if u mean Lib he wasnt co-leader he was a full leader. and he was never forced to leave the land. he lost his alliance to the sentinels in the war and deceived to leave. ...wait maybe u mean Fenrir. then i am just really disappointed about ur lag of information... Fenrir helped us recruiting for SoE. he was the recruiter and no co-leader. then there happened an incident and HE LEFT SoE. he was never kicked. all i can see here is tons of misinformation. i am really happy that at least some of it could be cleared here. and i encourage everybody to ask if anything is unclear. so please if u have any questions, concerns, comments, whatever post them right here.

Lifeline Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 then what about me being at the stone of twisted souls and fighting the summoned army for the east quest? why did i do that even when i say i am neutral? because i want change and had the feeling it will bring change. why did i not help u in the necro war? because ur desired outcome would have brought stagnation. u would have destroyed the sentinels completely and removed an interesting part of the game. if u devastate necro what is left to fight for? there needs to be a counterpart, u have to embrace it. its the same with a "paradise" there cant be a real one if its not tainted by evil deeds. nobody would be able to appreciate life if there wasnt pain and a dark side to make them cherish the good moments even more. its a balance both needs to be present in order to assure real living. imagen a "heaven" with only good things in it to happen... that would be the real hell. there would be no purpose nothing to live for and all the joy would become dull very quickly. u get used to it, take it for granted, would have no troubles ... u would decay and stagnate because in order to really feel fulfilled u have to accomplish it urself and not get it served on a golden plate without lifting a finger. but enough of this now i cant explain it well anyway. it had nothing to do with friendship or anything. i think the sentinels and necro are a very important part of the game. they bring more facets to the game. i help and support my friends but surely not assist them in a task that goes completely against my values. but anyway enough with this philosophical stuff. i will stop arguing here now and wont engage in any argumentation anymore. there has been by far enough arguing in this topic that didnt go anywhere and i dont want to keep this more off topic PS: if anybody wants to comment on my philosophies above please pm me i failed to explain it properly here.

When he puts his mind to a project he finds a way to finish it, and he tries to see both sides of an issue. His knowledge of fighting and what is needed to succeed against a given ritual is outstanding. Handy Pockets .Khalazdad. A good, if frequently absent, friend. .Envy of Endurance. Seems like a happy sort XinHun Very Friendly =3 MRWander I m so proud of my Pip also Pip DOMINATES!!! Karak A good friend who is a great sparring partner. LunarGoddess *smiles* A great guy, always willing to help. Rendril Revant Pipstickz. FTW. Sir Blut I really like him. His actions are unexpected and he\'s very precise in what people actually ask him to do. That is part of his intelligance. A great friend overall. *Je Suis Oeufs Fous* Pip is one of my best friends. I\'d do anything in the world for him. He is, and always will be, a brother. Thanks for everything, Tater. FumaKilla treats others like you want others treats you. hello Pip Makichama Pippy is one of the nicest people I have met in these lands. Penelope LightMoon Capable of being tolerable. He\'s growing on me. Silver Renard a true odd ball, but that\'s why we get along Kouros I guess since I consider Eggy my brother and he considers you his brother.. we\'re brothers too. Welcome to the family. Yoshi Canadian. Nothing more needed. Sandra Klien Pip is a funny and good friend...do not mess with his fries. *hands him choco fries specially made with Mir chocolate* PS: He hates snow fries Robin Mea I think he is a great loony Chatty one and noisy ^^ Realy funny too. Would give ya a medal for that but can\'t find it... *rides pockets* Nope next time. Robin Pipstickz would make a great king. He's trustworthy, loyal and hardworking. He's very active in MD and also owns my corn. He'd also make a great king because of his ability to lead a group to victory. -Namespetra To me, you have always been the joking around type, the type to have a good silly conversation, and that's good, but not exactly the type I would see as being a King. I am not saying that you would be a bad King, because honestly I don't think I know you well enough to say that. And, compared to the other candidates (Lifeline, Liberty to my knowledge are the only others? I could be wrong), you are just as good. I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for, but you are definitely a candidate. You are also active, which will go into my decision. Awi Pipstickz is a natural born leader, he has helped me many times, with many a dilemma, under his supervision I was able to accomplish much in my creature quests and other personal goals. Memory pip is at times evil and at times a real dear those thing are needed in a king he must be hard and soft but also fair -ladytwin Lifeline, Kyphis the Bard, Eon and 1 other 2 2
SageWoman Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 After reading three pages of spam and the tearing down of each others role play, I really do hope that there are other candidates who have bid privately for King of Marind Bell. Out of the whole realm there HAS to be another choice. Pip and Lifeline, I have read your arguments and I have to tell you that your not making my vote choice easy. I would hate to have to vote for the Lesser of two Weevils...er I mean Evils. Challenge: Any candidates who want to be King write a new thread of WHY you want to be King, and WHAT you plan to do. Qualifications are of no interest to me now. I, along with other players, want to know what YOU, the Candidate, really want to do for Marind Bell and the Realm of Magic Duel. The Past is History. The Present is a Gift. The Future may be planned but is yet to unfold. Forum Moderators, will you monitor any new threads for King or Queen of Marind Bell and move or delete any postings that obsecure the the original topic? Voters and fellow residents of Magic Duel. Will you be objective and keep the flaming down to a minimum? Metal Bunny, Granos, dst and 2 others 1 4
Death Bell Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) errr i thought pip already wrote what he was gonna do for marind bell... [quote]As King I would ensure that Marind Bell remains the open land to all and peaceful, Also when given the authority I would ensure and Unbiased reward system for people who do participate in the torch competition as it is not only those of the alliances of Marind Bell whom do so. As King I would work to keep all political ties peaceful and ensure that there are no rash, shameful actions such as with the last war against Necrovion. I would fully support the researching and defense as those are the alliance's goals, but keep things flowing in such a way that there will, hopefully, not be a need for defense other than for the sake of friendly competition. I would also use the power given to me as king to offer full support to the sparring grounds as they have been always been a crucial part of Marind Bell. My diplomatic goal for Marind Bell is to be friendly to all lands, but then again, most public doesn't necessarily mean most defenseless. I would like to try a competition for most stats gained in a week, running once per month, perhaps at the same time as heads contest. Also, I promise to put a Canadian flag on top of Winds Sanctuary PS: I don't really promise to plant a Canadian flag on Winds, or anywhere in MD, but it can't hurt to try! Key Points: -Keeping Marind Bell Peaceful by improving diplomatic relations with other lands -Fair Rewards to those supporting the Land -Encouraging Defense of Marind Bell -Support for the Sparring Grounds -Fair decisions with in Mind with all the citizens of Marind Bell [/quote] i was too lazy to look for life line's sorry buddy Edited October 28, 2009 by Death Bell Pipstickz 1
