eh yes... to refer back to chews post, yeah that was deal for soe at that meeting and that meeting decided that soe will become just like chew said it while other part of ex soe would get second ally, military based, KOB, that happened but only partially... still mur promised new logo for it as current one was just temporal, in fact mur asked if i want to wait for new logo or to get ally with temporal and i said give me ally with temporal logo, well and i actually pushed him a bit on dsts advice :D but nvm... well mine point in here is that we could do somethin more about mb (without touchin soe) at that point, but since we were focused on supposed soe event we havent done anythin

and well... i also question lifelines view on loyalties to land, becoz he is too much neutral in most cases or he picks side he thinks is in best interest of realm, so its possible situation that he goes against mb, now question is would he put his personal principals on which he build his role in front of mb, or will he stick to interests of mb

heh what do u want to hear now? a nice speech about how i love MB and would give my life fighting for it?
i think everybody is well aware of how i stand. i might have been "too much neutral" so far but is that necessarily a bad thing? u did the extreme other course of action. u waged a war against necro what cost MB a lot and was completely unsuccessful. was betting 1 of MB alliance in the best interest of the land?

and were does MB stand right now? u keep saying it is in ruins... so if that is true what is needed is not some leader who is totally obsessed about his love towards the land and willing to wage war against every possible threat but a rebuilder. somebody to restore MB to its former glory and even more. when that is accomplished there might arise issues about being to neutral. but even then there is a balance in the realm between the 4 main lands that should be respected. and what is the only situation when being to neutral is bad? yes in times of war only. when MB is under attack or wants to engage in war, that is the only point of time when being neutral or not affects anything. if MB is under attack i (if i become king) would honor my duties and do everything possible to defend it.
now the only case of an offensive strike against another land is left... is that what u are looking for? another war?

i understand very well that being king of one land is different from the role i had so far. of course it is. if i do become king i will have another tag for sure and with that tag will act according to that role. i will suffer a loss of neutrality i am aware of that and willing to accept it

[Liberty4life]

ofc it was worth it, to risk whole army in order to try to take down lands natural enemy, ofc its worth it

balance maintains itself, we can freely do wot ever we want, there is no reason to keep things as they are now, that will bring no change, if ya change things, old things are no more, new things come in place

so when ya gain power ya are ready to act differently from your role, but ya was unable to do same thing when close friend asked for help?

[Lifeline]

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.

[Liberty4life]

eh as i said already if i succeeded to make that change to remove sentinels and turn necro into something else, something new would arise that would be counterpart

Yes.

Haven't you watched any political debates recently?

See: The Republican Party (United States of America)

That pretty much sums it up

So here's some stuff about me:

Pipstickz is a gentleman and a man of honor. 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.

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.

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

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?

[Death Bell]

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

i was too lazy to look for life line's :P sorry buddy :P

afaik pips, lifeline and dst are goin for mb throne, so sage i guess ya will vote for our fuhrer dst :D no?

[dst]

Lib: how do you know I am going for MB? Haven't you heard of bluffing?

And Sage: I, for example, would not promise anyone anything. Plans? Are you kidding? Of course the candidates will say anything to gather votes but the truth is they have no idea what they will be able to do. A powerful position doesn't not mean you can do whatever you want. You must listen to what the subjects have to say. Otherwise even if you plan big things you'll not have their support and in the end you'll fail. And you're wrong: a player's past will tell you a lot about how that player will behave. And I don't want a noob to run any of the lands so no! qualifications ARE important.
And Sage, there is a 4th option: simply don't vote. It will spare your nerves.


edit:4th not 3rd (i forgot how to count)

she wanted to say 4th option

and yes i know ya are goin for throne :D well mine intuition tells me :D

[Death Bell]

hehe seems like liberty's 6th sense was true :P

[Liberty4life]

ofc i am always right :D

[Totenkopf]

i'm torn between dst (who's a co-national and a cool person, despite not drinking beer on the _beer_ meeting :P), lifeline (who seems the most affiliated/dedicated and had the best presentation) and pip (who'd probably be the most fun to have as king), but even if i were to choose pip it seems i'd be unable too :blink:
first time i open the voting link (it was windowed) i only saw lifeline as an option :blink:

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_F7PZ_1Ghzm8/SvBcW7ZLtpI/AAAAAAAAAdE/mnJsnwZCiwc/s800/SNAG-0097.png

then i maximize and see all but pip as options and no scroll-bar :blink:

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_F7PZ_1Ghzm8/SvBcW3BQ4fI/AAAAAAAAAdI/cqqmz87gjkA/s800/SNAG-0098.png

which would mean either i'm doing something wrong, or only hi-res guys can vote pip :))

Pip should be below Shadow...along with some more text

i would suggest opening it within MD, rather than in a new tab?

[Shantu]

You could also press the Down arrow, which should do it..
