Hello Ladies, and Gentlements.
Welcome to another quest made by yours truly Mr Mystery.
[center][size="3"][color="#FF0000"]The Exploration of Magicduel Archives[/color][/size][/center]

[u][b]Introduction:[/b][/u]
Theres not much to say really this is a miniquest that involves a person to explore MDA
What to do?
There will be a riddle presenting each location. The location co-ordinates will be the password.
And the Password generating will be done in an external program, so i dont have to be online while you guys do the quest.
If you were to answer the riddle wrong, you will be penetalized 15mins.
Thats pretty much it.

Also first to finish will be the winner, and there will be other runner ups too.

Prizes:
-----------This prizes can only be won by people with less then 250 age.
Bp archer
Imps,
Angiens (aged 200+)
TS
Jokers
Pimps grassans.
------------ This prizes can only be won by people with less then 250 age.( if not much people participating, then for everyone.
------------This is for everyone else
5sc pack.
1sc.
Avatar selection.
----------- For everyone else
Now, some you guys are probably wondering why there are a lot of prizes.
Well heres how the prizes are given out.
the top 4 will get to pick from a selection of prizes, where the first place will have first pick.
The rest, of the winners will get 1sc from there.
so anyone else who completes this will get 1 sc from me.
i have a limit of 15sc. So only the next 15 people.

More info will be revealed about teh creatures to the winners. That includes age and tokens

Alts with less than 250 age, can participate. But remember thats the only one who can win. And if prizes go to the main... then...

Any comments after the quest will be appreciated.

TO ALL MAC USERS:

Im sorry, but i am not able to convert the exe to a max format.
We could still do the quest. To start pm. And ill give you a set of directions, which is in the program. and we'll do this manually.

PS : The external program was made by me in c++. It should be virus free.

Also this quest have a save function. When you reach a checkpoint. Which is usually after you solve the riddle. A file will be made. its a .txt file. There will be a code in the file. When entered when starting up the program, it will take you to where your last checkpoint was.
the file to check teh code for saving is called MDAquest.txt. it should be made in your desktop

NO ALTS


Any Questions?

On the 3rd riddle add a 1 before the answer.

Or use this one here

Is there any way to participate in your quests without having to download any files? I dont like to download unknown executables off the net.

[Mr Mystery]

Hmm we could do it manually. But then i wont be able to do it today, due to me having to go. I made that file from scratch, so its is safe. I didnt dl any of it from other sites.

Yeah... see i was also very vary of ANYTHING downloaded from the internet.

I ran it in the virtual pc which i then removed because i would not trust people on the internet.

From what i can see i believe it is safe, But so are all the best viruses.

lol that sounds just like "take off yer clothes, i won't do anything"
no, but really, i think people would be less suspicious if you'd put it up as a script on a web page or something

[Mr Mystery]

True... but i doubt im experience enough to go making viruses . Only been learning for 2 weeks now. But still, you have every right to doubt it. Thats why theres the manual option. But i made this console program, so as to allow, people to still participate in the quest, even if im not even online.

[Mr Mystery]

@Toten

Well i could try that for next time.

[Chewett]

or... Shock horror. Use the tools Mur has provided. MDscript would work perfectly for something like this. It would also mean people wouldnt cheat the timer by closing and re opening the program.

[Mr Mystery]

Dont i have to unlock that using MD Wp store?... And the reopening the program... I was planning to do at the start it will immedaitely read from the file it made, so as to continue from last timer point. But i failed in doing so... >.<

[Chewett]

Well, You dont need to unlock it if you can impress Rendril Enough by your coding efforts. there was an announcement made a while back again.

What stops people from just deleting that file also?

Sounds like a catch 22 to me...

[Mr Mystery]

Ye... lots of holes here and there... Well ill go find that announcement, if i can. But ill just wait a bit to sharpen my skills, before contacting him.
