But I reset the Tournament. I did not complete my last two rounds, I did not feel it would be fair if I overtook someone finishing my own.Wed, 18 Sep 2024 19:31:32 +0000http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240626195758http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240626195758By Ice Goddess Melanie Been very busy, apologies for absence. I actually had to withdraw from one of my two classes, because it was too much, especially with all the work my job schedules me for! I have about amonth left in semester, and then 3-4 weeks off before Fall Semester starts, so I wil have a brief window in which t look into anything that needs to be looked into, please Petition these items.

Also, per a request, I changed the name of Velle's Flower Shop, as her name was very similar to Vessa's name.Fri, 03 May 2024 18:14:42 +0000http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240416025857http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240416025857By Admin Kalisiin I fixed it, at least temporarily, by making it impossible for the Talisman to fail to resurrect. I have to look into the coding more to find out why it sticks you there indefinitely before restoring the chance of a failed resurrection. Needless to say, this is not, at this time, a super high priority!Tue, 16 Apr 2024 02:58:57 +0000http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240414102813http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240414102813By Ice Goddess Melanie I apologize for delays in taking care of thngs, life has been a little chaotic at the moment...I am in my final weeks of the Semester, I just got job transferred to another store, and I have political conventions upocming with a body in which I serve as 1st Vice Chair. As such, I have not had time to pay proper attention to things. I therefore doubled the free turns awards for donations for this month as compensation and offer my apology for the fact that life has gotten a little crazy. As to the Tournament... Two players tied for first place, and the program doesn't allow for this possiblity. I therefore went in the Mayor's House with the stats as they showed on the board (Kristy 2nd Place, Marlie 1st place) HOWEVER, I manually upped the prize Kristy got to equal a first place finish, and upped the prize Amanda got so that, though she finished third, got a second-place size award. I do plan on taking Summer Semester, but only two classes. After June's State Convention, things should definitely start to quiet down a bit...so I am just going to have to ask everyone to be patient with me and understand that I am a human being too, and thus also have lots of obligations to meet in addition to taking care of things here. I sincerely apologize for being unable to keep up as well as I would like here just lately, and ask for patience and understanding.Sun, 14 Apr 2024 10:28:13 +0000http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240313031156http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240313031156By Ice Goddess Melanie I was tipped off by Morta, that the problem is that LOTDG.net is experiencing problems. For now, I deactivated our registry with LOTGD.net an that seems to have solved the problem. Just before I did it, I was having the same problem...after doing it that problem stopped. So this may be at the root of the problem...it seems to be, anyway, and an h/t to Morta for tipping me off. I hope this solves the problem so that people's gameplay is not interrupted.Wed, 13 Mar 2024 03:11:56 +0000http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240312014628http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240312014628By Ice Goddess Melanie I have processed all donations I am aware of, please contact via petition if yours is not done. Because of the delay and inconvenience due to my Midterms, I doubled the turns award this month for all donations. I am not aware of what was causing Internal Errors, I am not seeing them...I suspect it was a host side issue. And anyone who was in a bad nav should be unstuck. I am very sorry for my absence, it was a hectic two weeks.Tue, 12 Mar 2024 01:46:28 +0000http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240312013213http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240312013213By Ice Goddess Melanie OK, so the last couple weeks have been crazy-busy for me as I had Midterms. I am now on Spring Break for the next week, followed by the remainder of the Semester having only 2 classes instead of three since one of them was a crunch class and is now completed. I should have a bit more time going forward...at least until Fall Semester...I do not know what things will look like yet then, but I am - for the next few months, less busy than I was. My apologies.Tue, 12 Mar 2024 01:32:13 +0000http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240218132914http://rotk.us/motd.php#motd20240218132914By Ice Goddess Melanie I am sorry for any player that has had to wait some time for action on a Petition. I work full-time AND go to school full-time. This means I do not have as much time as I would wish to be here. There are times I go a week without getting a chance to play myself, let alone deal with Administrative things. Please understand and be patient. Things WILL be dealt with. I am NOT ignoring you or anyone. My free time is just very limited. That said, in two weeks, one of my classes finishes, and so I should have a bit more time, as this is my crunch class, where they give you 16 weeks of material in only 8 weeks! And that class is on Constitutional Law!! Please bear in mind the fact that I must work full-time while going to school full-time...and I am still maintaining a 4.0 GPA. But it leaves me less time than I would wish to deal with Petitions and Admin functions here...but they always DO get dealt with...and please know I AM NOT IGNORING ANYONE OR ANYTHING. I would appreciate understanding...and please make requests nice. You only need to Petition ONE time. I WILL get to it. As always, thanks for playing one of the longest continuously-running LOTGD games in the universe! And certainly the one with the most unique features.

The change I am considering is that certain races would not be able to pick certain specialties...and som specialties would only be open to certain races. For example, by definition a Kujitai would not be able to choose Dark Arts...a Troll would, for example, favor brute-force specialties and not more Magical ones. I invite anyone with input on this to write me directly or Petition. As I flesh this idea out some more, I will update you. No changes will be made without notice via MOTD.Thu, 08 Feb 2024 13:36:22 +0000
