Raam Sho'am: /* Current Leadership */

'''[[Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb (TarValon.Net)|Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb]] is a rogue band of mercenaries and heroes, sworn to defeat the oppression of mediocrity, complacency and malnutrition. Join us in our hellish crusade across the TarValon.net forums and you will be richly rewarded with everlasting life.'''

In the dreary months of 2004, it came to the administrators of TarValon.net that ''something'' was missing from their community, something integral. Throwing their primitive bones and casting shadows on screens with broken branches to attempt to decipher what could fill that god-shaped hole in their souls, they were interrupted all of a sudden! A holy and demonic light burst forth from the sky, destroying the Tower Library and several of the Dai M'hael's company scooters. Riding down on silver flaming horses crafted from platinum and sapphire, were seven heroes, nay, demigods with the power to right the wrongs and wrong the rights of TarValon.net, choosing to settle here within this community, to help save the people from themselves. They were:

Sataere the Cruel

Bale the Unforgiving

Sunri the Sly

Darim the Magnificent

Gwynidon the Hateful

al'Cary the Cunning

Jahem the Indomitable

Mustered once more from their respite, well-earned after defeating the Ice Lords of Saturn and the Mutant Harpies that dwell in the space between rationality and madness, they descended as they always had when the time came for their powers once more.

Still, in true God-like fashion, shortly after arrival MDD gave up on any sort of organized or coordinated effort to instill hope in the spirits of the Tower or City.

There is much received wisdom regarding the youngest and arguably most tightly-knit of the Tower Companies. But received wisdom is often neither wise nor true and so we must turn to the source in search of perspective and enlightenment.

Here then, is a take on Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb words of its members, aspirants and close associates. May it serve you well.

=== The official line ===

However, the person wanting it for their class never got around to it. Just stick it on the wiki and say it's done.
The company description, as set out in the company pages, hints at a company of marked individuals, free-thinkers and sardonic wits of whom it would be easy to assume egoism and irreverence were inherent traits. Unlike Sunday mornings however, not everything is as easy or as simple as it at first seems. Indeed, in between the derision of ignorance, the implications of exclusivity and the gentle mocking of convention, there are tenets that bear closer examination: freedom, creativity, loyalty, independence and an acceptance that everyone has something to offer, however small.

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

There are many misconceptions about MDD. Some say MDD is a company for those who believe themselves unbeholden to policies--such as respect and decency--of general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens. Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

Note: All replies edited to remove the naughtier words and tangents. See italics.

For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

something too naughty to share</div>

Along with not taking things too seriously. Even this.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">

I had this buddy in college. He was sardonic, sarcastic, politically un-correct, and utterly crass. I wanted to break his face for about the first month that I knew him. But the more time I spent with the guy, I realized that he was actually just full of poop. Most of his acidity was just a test to see who could actually stick with him. If you could hang, and even possibly give a little back, he started treating you decently. Or as decently as he could treat anyone with his questionable manner. I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

And some of us hide song references in dry pieces of text.

Those songs being (in case you're interested):
1. Easy like Sunday morning – Lionel Ritchie
2. Ice, Ice, Baby – Vanilla Ice
3. Stuck in the middle with You – Stealers Wheel
4. (we want) The same thing – Belinda Carlisle

===Azrael===

[[Image: J_Patterson.jpg‎|right|thumb|200px|'''Az is a hottie''']]

This buxom Gaidin has been courted by all the companies, but it was MDD that captured his heart. Azrael, however, is a man of compassion, and being such, let down his suitors gently.

'''''Thanks for allowing me to guest with Dm these last few weeks, but I think it's time we took a break. No really, it's not you, it's me. I found some other company. I just don't feel that way about you. So I think we should see other people. I hope we can still be friends. I'll call.'''''

'''''XOXO Az'''''

[[Image: JacobBlack.jpg‎|left|thumb|100px|'''Other Company''']]
Some suitors didn't get the hint. Azrael had already found the love of his life but there was this other company that thought that persistance would pay off and 4 books didn't disabuse them of that notion. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel.

[[Image: Azraelportrait.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''Azrael al'Letifer''']]

===Jalen===

[[Image: Hubris.jpg|right|thumb|400px|'''Jalen''']]

In its modern usage, Jalen denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge. An accusation of Jalenism often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of Jalen and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of Jalen. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes someone accused of Jalen to act in foolish ways that belay common sense. In reference to someone being in Jalenity: jalenity is a fulfillment of being Jalenistic or a continual behavior of being prideful. Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exudes Jalen in order to become a great scientist, but eventually regrets this previous desire. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus exudes Jalen, all the way until his final minutes of life. Annabeth Chase's (of Percy Jackson and the Olympians) fatal flaw is Jalen.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

=== Mathei ===

[[Image: Stfuedutshirt.png‎|thumb|left|'''Mathei founded STFU, a school for gifted young adults''']]

The illustrious Mathei Kardone joined the ranks of MDD some years after the initial crusades and their aftermath had cooled. He was something of a religious hermit and pilgrim, moving from one barren wasteland to the next, in search of the right place to sew his spiritual seed. In the fine company of MDD, he found his home. He founded a school, STFU, and invited all who had the courage and fortitude to come and learn from the fine men and their female compatriots in MDD. Some topics of instruction included: Texas Hold Em, Inflaming the Proletariat, and STD Awareness. Let none get in the way of his re-edification and transformation of the minds of TarValon.net's malleable masses, lest they face his awesome wrath.

===Raam===

[[Image: Grimreaper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|'''Artist's rendering of Raam''']]

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

===Azrael===

[[Image: J_Patterson.jpg‎|right|thumb|200px|'''Az is a hottie''']]

This buxom Gaidin has been courted by all the companies, but it was MDD that captured his heart. Azrael, however, is a man of compassion, and being such, let down his suitors gently.

'''''Thanks for allowing me to guest with Dm these last few weeks, but I think it's time we took a break. No really, it's not you, it's me. I found some other company. I just don't feel that way about you. So I think we should see other people. I hope we can still be friends. I'll call.'''''

'''''XOXO Az'''''

[[Image: JacobBlack.jpg‎|left|thumb|100px|'''Other Company''']]
Some suitors didn't get the hint. Azrael had already found the love of his life but there was this other company that thought that persistance would pay off and 4 books didn't disabuse them of that notion. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel.

[[Image: Azraelportrait.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''Azrael al'Letifer''']]

===Jalen===

[[Image: Hubris.jpg|right|thumb|400px|'''Jalen''']]

In its modern usage, Jalen denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge. An accusation of Jalenism often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of Jalen and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of Jalen. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes someone accused of Jalen to act in foolish ways that belay common sense. In reference to someone being in Jalenity: jalenity is a fulfillment of being Jalenistic or a continual behavior of being prideful. Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exudes Jalen in order to become a great scientist, but eventually regrets this previous desire. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus exudes Jalen, all the way until his final minutes of life. Annabeth Chase's (of Percy Jackson and the Olympians) fatal flaw is Jalen.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

=== Mathei ===

[[Image: Stfuedutshirt.png‎|thumb|left|'''Mathei founded STFU, a school for gifted young adults''']]

The illustrious Mathei Kardone joined the ranks of MDD some years after the initial crusades and their aftermath had cooled. He was something of a religious hermit and pilgrim, moving from one barren wasteland to the next, in search of the right place to sew his spiritual seed. In the fine company of MDD, he found his home. He founded a school, STFU, and invited all who had the courage and fortitude to come and learn from the fine men and their female compatriots in MDD. Some topics of instruction included: Texas Hold Em, Inflaming the Proletariat, and STD Awareness. Let none get in the way of his re-edification and transformation of the minds of TarValon.net's malleable masses, lest they face his awesome wrath.

===Raam===

[[Image: Grimreaper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|'''Artist's rendering of Raam''']]

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

Raam Sho'am: /* Current Leadership */

[[Image: barack2.jpg|right|thumb|'''Barack Obama''' 44th President of the United States of America]]

'''[[Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb (TarValon.Net)|Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb]] is a rogue band of mercenaries and heroes, sworn to defeat the oppression of mediocrity, complacency and malnutrition. Join us in our hellish crusade across the TarValon.net forums and you will be richly rewarded with everlasting life.'''

In the dreary months of 2004, it came to the administrators of TarValon.net that ''something'' was missing from their community, something integral. Throwing their primitive bones and casting shadows on screens with broken branches to attempt to decipher what could fill that god-shaped hole in their souls, they were interrupted all of a sudden! A holy and demonic light burst forth from the sky, destroying the Tower Library and several of the Dai M'hael's company scooters. Riding down on silver flaming horses crafted from platinum and sapphire, were seven heroes, nay, demigods with the power to right the wrongs and wrong the rights of TarValon.net, choosing to settle here within this community, to help save the people from themselves. They were:

Sataere the Cruel

Bale the Unforgiving

Sunri the Sly

Darim the Magnificent

Gwynidon the Hateful

al'Cary the Cunning

Jahem the Indomitable

Mustered once more from their respite, well-earned after defeating the Ice Lords of Saturn and the Mutant Harpies that dwell in the space between rationality and madness, they descended as they always had when the time came for their powers once more.

Still, in true God-like fashion, shortly after arrival MDD gave up on any sort of organized or coordinated effort to instill hope in the spirits of the Tower or City.

There is much received wisdom regarding the youngest and arguably most tightly-knit of the Tower Companies. But received wisdom is often neither wise nor true and so we must turn to the source in search of perspective and enlightenment.

Here then, is a take on Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb words of its members, aspirants and close associates. May it serve you well.

=== The official line ===

However, the person wanting it for their class never got around to it. Just stick it on the wiki and say it's done.
The company description, as set out in the company pages, hints at a company of marked individuals, free-thinkers and sardonic wits of whom it would be easy to assume egoism and irreverence were inherent traits. Unlike Sunday mornings however, not everything is as easy or as simple as it at first seems. Indeed, in between the derision of ignorance, the implications of exclusivity and the gentle mocking of convention, there are tenets that bear closer examination: freedom, creativity, loyalty, independence and an acceptance that everyone has something to offer, however small.

See: [http://www.tarvalon.net/content.php?160-The-Mahdi-in-d-ma-Dieb-Company TarValon.Net]

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Sela Narian
There are many misconceptions about MDD. Some say MDD is a company for those who believe themselves unbeholden to policies--such as respect and decency--of general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens. Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

Note: All replies edited to remove the naughtier words and tangents. See italics.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Pip al’Dealys, Gaidin
For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Darim Pelegro, Gaidin
So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Izanagi Asklepios, Gaidin
something too naughty to share</div>

Along with not taking things too seriously. Even this.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Maeric Kelskaith, Gaidin
I had this buddy in college. He was sardonic, sarcastic, politically un-correct, and utterly crass. I wanted to break his face for about the first month that I knew him. But the more time I spent with the guy, I realized that he was actually just full of poop. Most of his acidity was just a test to see who could actually stick with him. If you could hang, and even possibly give a little back, he started treating you decently. Or as decently as he could treat anyone with his questionable manner. I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

''March 24, 2013''

*;Why did you choose Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb?
I got along with them the best at Real Life events, and they have the same brand of humor as myself.

*;Do you fit the Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb stereotype?
Decide for youself.

*;Do you enjoy using your deviant humor at the expense of others?
If by deviant humor you mean sarcasm and by expense of others you mean calling them out on BS than yes on both accounts.

*;Are you gay?
Happy yes sexual orientation no.

*;What male character from the novels do you think would fit best in Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb?

Since 1997

A friends older brother explained Aiel to me as "Badass ninja indians" and i had to read about that.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
If its of the horn. Artur Hawking.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Lanfear and Moridin

*;Favorite book and scene?
I dont have a fav book really. I view the series as one long story and i cant really break it up by books. But if I had to choose one id Choose Memory of light... Im in it after all.
And fav scene is by far When Ingtar tells Rand hes a Darkfriend in the Great Hunt, and what insues afterwards.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
Id be a Perrin type character most likely. The reluctant soldier doing duty sticking to honor. Wolfbrother Ashaman either one... Possibly both ^_^

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
My fiance (Mieriana) and I went to the first JordanCon because we are such WoT fans. We met several TVers there. Membership Sedai and Morrow are the ones who recruited us.

I collect Mediveal weaponry. I enjoy playing football with friends and in a semi pro league. Im a movie buff and i like to play boardgames.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
I like just about every kind of music. On my Ipod youll find everything from Betovan to busta ryhmes. If I had to pick a fav band it would be Sublime.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Fav movies are to long to list. I like all kinds though love bruce willis, mel gibson, matthew mcconaughey, Robert Downey JR. So many. Same goes for TV shows but some i like are Big Bang Theory, Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, Walking Dead, Avatar: The last airbender (TV show NOT the horrendous travesty by M Night). Buffy, Angel, Bones, Law and Order SVU so so many more.

Well these the obvious character, Mat. But I think any of the main trio would fit in. Lan and possibly Slayer the Isam version of him.

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Since 1997

A friends older brother explained Aiel to me as "Badass ninja indians" and i had to read about that.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
If its of the horn. Artur Hawking.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Lanfear and Moridin

*;Favorite book and scene?
I dont have a fav book really. I view the series as one long story and i cant really break it up by books. But if I had to choose one id Choose Memory of light... Im in it after all.
And fav scene is by far When Ingtar tells Rand hes a Darkfriend in the Great Hunt, and what insues afterwards.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
Id be a Perrin type character most likely. The reluctant soldier doing duty sticking to honor. Wolfbrother Ashaman either one... Possibly both ^_^

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
My fiance (Mieriana) and I went to the first JordanCon because we are such WoT fans. We met several TVers there. Membership Sedai and Morrow are the ones who recruited us.

Dockbuilding and pile driving for the State of NY.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
I like just about every kind of music. On my Ipod youll find everything from Betovan to busta ryhmes. If I had to pick a fav band it would be Sublime.

Hall of the Tower (TV)

2020-07-04T02:17:22Z

Raam Sho'am: /* Spring 2020 */

{{MM|The Hall}}
==Overview==
The Hall is a representative body chosen from our Senior Membership that provides advice to the [[Board of Directors]] on membership and philanthropic issues. The Hall and Council (henceforth referred to as ‘the Hall’) serve as the main advisory board for the Administration. Each Ajah and Company chooses two representatives from their group to represent them for six months.

'''Department:''' None

'''Position Level:''' [[Staff]]

'''Rotation:''' 6 month rotation

'''Merit Eligibility:''' [[Staff Merit]]
===Chain of Command===
The Hall is outside of the Departmental Structure.

==Duties and Responsibilities==
*Vote on entry into the Tower.
*Vote on advancement within the Tower.
*Provide counsel whenever the {{Amyrlin}} should desire it, such as for membership bans, dispensing emergency funds, selecting a scholarship recipient and other sensitive issues.
==Expectations==
===Time Commitment===
==Qualifications==
*Be a Senior Member, ideally with at least six months experience.

==History==
The Hall was created mid 2001, shortly after the formation of the Tower. In 2002, it was expanded to include Warder Councillors and its remit changed to include membership issues. It expanded to two members per Ajah/Company in 2004 and in 2005 became responsible for raisings to Aes Sedai or Gaidin, which previously had been the responsibility of Aes Sedai and Gaidin respectively. It took on responsibility for deciding on more philanthropic aspects in 2010, at which time it was removed from the [[Department of Membership]].
===Members of the Hall===
'''Spring terms are defined as lasting April through September. Fall terms are defined as lasting October through March.''' 
''(Before 2015, Spring terms were defined as lasting January through June and Fall terms lasted July through December. Spring 2015 was a transitioning term, which lasted from January to September.)''

==Senior Member Interview==
''March 24, 2013''

*;Why did you choose Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb?
I got along with them the best at Real Life events, and they have the same brand of humor as myself.

*;Do you fit the Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb stereotype?
Decide for youself.

*;Do you enjoy using your deviant humor at the expense of others?
If by deviant humor you mean sarcasm and by expense of others you mean calling them out on BS than yes on both accounts.

*;Are you gay?
Happy yes sexual orientation no.

*;What male character from the novels do you think would fit best in Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb?
Well these the obvious character, Mat. But I think any of the main trio would fit in. Lan and possibly Slayer the Isam version of him.

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Since 1997

*;How did you first get into the series?
A friends older brother explained Aiel to me as "Badass ninja indians" and i had to read about that.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
If its of the horn. Artur Hawking.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Lanfear and Moridin

*;Favorite book and scene?
I dont have a fav book really. I view the series as one long story and i cant really break it up by books. But if I had to choose one id Choose Memory of light... Im in it after all.
And fav scene is by far When Ingtar tells Rand hes a Darkfriend in the Great Hunt, and what insues afterwards.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
Id be a Perrin type character most likely. The reluctant soldier doing duty sticking to honor. Wolfbrother Ashaman either one... Possibly both ^_^

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
My fiance (Mieriana) and I went to the first JordanCon because we are such WoT fans. We met several TVers there. Membership Sedai and Morrow are the ones who recruited us.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
Dockbuilding and pile driving for the State of NY.

Hall of the Tower (TV)

2020-04-13T02:50:58Z

Raam Sho'am: /* Spring 2019 */

{{MM|The Hall}}
==Overview==
The Hall is a representative body chosen from our Senior Membership that provides advice to the [[Board of Directors]] on membership and philanthropic issues. The Hall and Council (henceforth referred to as ‘the Hall’) serve as the main advisory board for the Administration. Each Ajah and Company chooses two representatives from their group to represent them for six months.

'''Department:''' None

'''Position Level:''' [[Staff]]

'''Rotation:''' 6 month rotation

'''Merit Eligibility:''' [[Staff Merit]]
===Chain of Command===
The Hall is outside of the Departmental Structure.

==Duties and Responsibilities==
*Vote on entry into the Tower.
*Vote on advancement within the Tower.
*Provide counsel whenever the {{Amyrlin}} should desire it, such as for membership bans, dispensing emergency funds, selecting a scholarship recipient and other sensitive issues.
==Expectations==
===Time Commitment===
==Qualifications==
*Be a Senior Member, ideally with at least six months experience.

==History==
The Hall was created mid 2001, shortly after the formation of the Tower. In 2002, it was expanded to include Warder Councillors and its remit changed to include membership issues. It expanded to two members per Ajah/Company in 2004 and in 2005 became responsible for raisings to Aes Sedai or Gaidin, which previously had been the responsibility of Aes Sedai and Gaidin respectively. It took on responsibility for deciding on more philanthropic aspects in 2010, at which time it was removed from the [[Department of Membership]].
===Members of the Hall===
'''Spring terms are defined as lasting April through September. Fall terms are defined as lasting October through March.''' 
''(Before 2015, Spring terms were defined as lasting January through June and Fall terms lasted July through December. Spring 2015 was a transitioning term, which lasted from January to September.)''

Raam Sho'am: /* Current Leadership */

[[Image: barack2.jpg|right|thumb|'''Barack Obama''' 44th President of the United States of America]]

'''[[Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb (TarValon.Net)|Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb]] is a rogue band of mercenaries and heroes, sworn to defeat the oppression of mediocrity, complacency and malnutrition. Join us in our hellish crusade across the TarValon.net forums and you will be richly rewarded with everlasting life.'''

In the dreary months of 2004, it came to the administrators of TarValon.net that ''something'' was missing from their community, something integral. Throwing their primitive bones and casting shadows on screens with broken branches to attempt to decipher what could fill that god-shaped hole in their souls, they were interrupted all of a sudden! A holy and demonic light burst forth from the sky, destroying the Tower Library and several of the Dai M'hael's company scooters. Riding down on silver flaming horses crafted from platinum and sapphire, were seven heroes, nay, demigods with the power to right the wrongs and wrong the rights of TarValon.net, choosing to settle here within this community, to help save the people from themselves. They were:

Sataere the Cruel

Bale the Unforgiving

Sunri the Sly

Darim the Magnificent

Gwynidon the Hateful

al'Cary the Cunning

Jahem the Indomitable

Mustered once more from their respite, well-earned after defeating the Ice Lords of Saturn and the Mutant Harpies that dwell in the space between rationality and madness, they descended as they always had when the time came for their powers once more.

Still, in true God-like fashion, shortly after arrival MDD gave up on any sort of organized or coordinated effort to instill hope in the spirits of the Tower or City.

There is much received wisdom regarding the youngest and arguably most tightly-knit of the Tower Companies. But received wisdom is often neither wise nor true and so we must turn to the source in search of perspective and enlightenment.

Here then, is a take on Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb words of its members, aspirants and close associates. May it serve you well.

=== The official line ===

However, the person wanting it for their class never got around to it. Just stick it on the wiki and say it's done.
The company description, as set out in the company pages, hints at a company of marked individuals, free-thinkers and sardonic wits of whom it would be easy to assume egoism and irreverence were inherent traits. Unlike Sunday mornings however, not everything is as easy or as simple as it at first seems. Indeed, in between the derision of ignorance, the implications of exclusivity and the gentle mocking of convention, there are tenets that bear closer examination: freedom, creativity, loyalty, independence and an acceptance that everyone has something to offer, however small.

See: [http://www.tarvalon.net/content.php?160-The-Mahdi-in-d-ma-Dieb-Company TarValon.Net]

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Sela Narian
There are many misconceptions about MDD. Some say MDD is a company for those who believe themselves unbeholden to policies--such as respect and decency--of general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens. Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

Note: All replies edited to remove the naughtier words and tangents. See italics.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Pip al’Dealys, Gaidin
For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Darim Pelegro, Gaidin
So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Izanagi Asklepios, Gaidin
something too naughty to share</div>

Along with not taking things too seriously. Even this.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Maeric Kelskaith, Gaidin
I had this buddy in college. He was sardonic, sarcastic, politically un-correct, and utterly crass. I wanted to break his face for about the first month that I knew him. But the more time I spent with the guy, I realized that he was actually just full of poop. Most of his acidity was just a test to see who could actually stick with him. If you could hang, and even possibly give a little back, he started treating you decently. Or as decently as he could treat anyone with his questionable manner. I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

And some of us hide song references in dry pieces of text.

Those songs being (in case you're interested):
1. Easy like Sunday morning – Lionel Ritchie
2. Ice, Ice, Baby – Vanilla Ice
3. Stuck in the middle with You – Stealers Wheel
4. (we want) The same thing – Belinda Carlisle

This buxom Gaidin has been courted by all the companies, but it was MDD that captured his heart. Azrael, however, is a man of compassion, and being such, let down his suitors gently.

'''''Thanks for allowing me to guest with Dm these last few weeks, but I think it's time we took a break. No really, it's not you, it's me. I found some other company. I just don't feel that way about you. So I think we should see other people. I hope we can still be friends. I'll call.'''''

'''''XOXO Az'''''

[[Image: JacobBlack.jpg‎|left|thumb|100px|'''Other Company''']]
Some suitors didn't get the hint. Azrael had already found the love of his life but there was this other company that thought that persistance would pay off and 4 books didn't disabuse them of that notion. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel.

===Jalen===

[[Image: Hubris.jpg|right|thumb|400px|'''Jalen''']]

In its modern usage, Jalen denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge. An accusation of Jalenism often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of Jalen and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of Jalen. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes someone accused of Jalen to act in foolish ways that belay common sense. In reference to someone being in Jalenity: jalenity is a fulfillment of being Jalenistic or a continual behavior of being prideful. Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exudes Jalen in order to become a great scientist, but eventually regrets this previous desire. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus exudes Jalen, all the way until his final minutes of life. Annabeth Chase's (of Percy Jackson and the Olympians) fatal flaw is Jalen.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

=== Mathei ===

[[Image: Stfuedutshirt.png‎|thumb|left|'''Mathei founded STFU, a school for gifted young adults''']]

The illustrious Mathei Kardone joined the ranks of MDD some years after the initial crusades and their aftermath had cooled. He was something of a religious hermit and pilgrim, moving from one barren wasteland to the next, in search of the right place to sew his spiritual seed. In the fine company of MDD, he found his home. He founded a school, STFU, and invited all who had the courage and fortitude to come and learn from the fine men and their female compatriots in MDD. Some topics of instruction included: Texas Hold Em, Inflaming the Proletariat, and STD Awareness. Let none get in the way of his re-edification and transformation of the minds of TarValon.net's malleable masses, lest they face his awesome wrath.

===Raam===

[[Image: Grimreaper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|'''Artist's rendering of Raam''']]

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

==Senior Member Interview==
''August 24, 2014''

*;Why did you choose Brown?
Because it's where I felt most free to be me. I'm not like all my Sisters--I have no interest in tentacles or shapeshifter porn--but the men and women of Brown make me feel most at home. Cliche? Yup. Don't care. It's a cliche because it's the best reason to choose the community you will spend time with, anywhere in life.

*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
Yes. And yes, and yes.

*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Is this even a question?

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Well Crown of Swords was the latest, so sometime between 1996 and 1998.

*;How did you first get into the series?
[Redacted]

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Mat or Lan

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Graendel. She's the shiznit yo.

*;Favorite book and scene?
Off the top of my head I think "Knife of Dreams" and the scene between Egwene and Verin.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
random misc townsperson, just like I am now. But if I have to pick a main character I'm totally Nynaeve.

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I was curious after watching Big Bang Theory: there are Cons for other stuff, is there a Con for fantasy lit? Found JordanCon and DragonCon and on one of the websites I read about DragonMount and TV.net. Tried both, loved TV, stayed. Oh and why I stayed: the people.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
[Redacted]

*;Do you have any hobbies?
Music, reading (duh), and theatre.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Mostly musical theatre and radio alternative/rock/pop, some country, Celtic, r&b, electronic, opera, classical, movie soundtracks, & 60s folk rock.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Princess Bride, Lawrence of Arabia, romantic comedies... Psych, Chuck, Big Bang Theory, West Wing, Once Upon a Time, and recently, Mixology.

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?

''August 24, 2014''

*;Why did you choose Brown?
Because it's where I felt most free to be me. I'm not like all my Sisters--I have no interest in tentacles or shapeshifter porn--but the men and women of Brown make me feel most at home. Cliche? Yup. Don't care. It's a cliche because it's the best reason to choose the community you will spend time with, anywhere in life.

*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
Yes. And yes, and yes.

*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Is this even a question?

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Well Crown of Swords was the latest, so sometime between 1996 and 1998.

*;How did you first get into the series?
[Redacted at interviewee request]

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Mat or Lan

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Graendel. She's the shiznit yo.

*;Favorite book and scene?
Off the top of my head I think "Knife of Dreams" and the scene between Egwene and Verin.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
random misc townsperson, just like I am now. But if I have to pick a main character I'm totally Nynaeve.

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I was curious after watching Big Bang Theory: there are Cons for other stuff, is there a Con for fantasy lit? Found JordanCon and DragonCon and on one of the websites I read about DragonMount and TV.net. Tried both, loved TV, stayed. Oh and why I stayed: the people.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
[Redacted at interviewee request]

*;Do you have any hobbies?
Music, reading (duh), and theatre.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Mostly musical theatre and radio alternative/rock/pop, some country, Celtic, r&b, electronic, opera, classical, movie soundtracks, & 60s folk rock.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Princess Bride, Lawrence of Arabia, romantic comedies... Psych, Chuck, Big Bang Theory, West Wing, Once Upon a Time, and recently, Mixology.

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
Jane Eyre, Phantom of the Opera, anything by Weis & Hickman, Malazan (still slowly reading it), and. Dunno. Books.

*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?

Community Page: Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb HQ

2018-09-01T17:11:36Z

Raam Sho'am: /* Members of MDD */

[[Image: barack2.jpg|right|thumb|'''Barack Obama''' 44th President of the United States of America]]

'''[[Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb (TarValon.Net)|Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb]] is a rogue band of mercenaries and heroes, sworn to defeat the oppression of mediocrity, complacency and malnutrition. Join us in our hellish crusade across the TarValon.net forums and you will be richly rewarded with everlasting life.'''

In the dreary months of 2004, it came to the administrators of TarValon.net that ''something'' was missing from their community, something integral. Throwing their primitive bones and casting shadows on screens with broken branches to attempt to decipher what could fill that god-shaped hole in their souls, they were interrupted all of a sudden! A holy and demonic light burst forth from the sky, destroying the Tower Library and several of the Dai M'hael's company scooters. Riding down on silver flaming horses crafted from platinum and sapphire, were seven heroes, nay, demigods with the power to right the wrongs and wrong the rights of TarValon.net, choosing to settle here within this community, to help save the people from themselves. They were:

Sataere the Cruel

Bale the Unforgiving

Sunri the Sly

Darim the Magnificent

Gwynidon the Hateful

al'Cary the Cunning

Jahem the Indomitable

Mustered once more from their respite, well-earned after defeating the Ice Lords of Saturn and the Mutant Harpies that dwell in the space between rationality and madness, they descended as they always had when the time came for their powers once more.

Still, in true God-like fashion, shortly after arrival MDD gave up on any sort of organized or coordinated effort to instill hope in the spirits of the Tower or City.

There is much received wisdom regarding the youngest and arguably most tightly-knit of the Tower Companies. But received wisdom is often neither wise nor true and so we must turn to the source in search of perspective and enlightenment.

Here then, is a take on Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb words of its members, aspirants and close associates. May it serve you well.

=== The official line ===

However, the person wanting it for their class never got around to it. Just stick it on the wiki and say it's done.
The company description, as set out in the company pages, hints at a company of marked individuals, free-thinkers and sardonic wits of whom it would be easy to assume egoism and irreverence were inherent traits. Unlike Sunday mornings however, not everything is as easy or as simple as it at first seems. Indeed, in between the derision of ignorance, the implications of exclusivity and the gentle mocking of convention, there are tenets that bear closer examination: freedom, creativity, loyalty, independence and an acceptance that everyone has something to offer, however small.

See: [http://www.tarvalon.net/content.php?160-The-Mahdi-in-d-ma-Dieb-Company TarValon.Net]

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Sela Narian
There are many misconceptions about MDD. Some say MDD is a company for those who believe themselves unbeholden to policies--such as respect and decency--of general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens. Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

Note: All replies edited to remove the naughtier words and tangents. See italics.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Pip al’Dealys, Gaidin
For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Darim Pelegro, Gaidin
So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Izanagi Asklepios, Gaidin
something too naughty to share</div>

Along with not taking things too seriously. Even this.

Maeric Kelskaith, Gaidin
I had this buddy in college. He was sardonic, sarcastic, politically un-correct, and utterly crass. I wanted to break his face for about the first month that I knew him. But the more time I spent with the guy, I realized that he was actually just full of poop. Most of his acidity was just a test to see who could actually stick with him. If you could hang, and even possibly give a little back, he started treating you decently. Or as decently as he could treat anyone with his questionable manner. I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

===Azrael===

[[Image: J_Patterson.jpg‎|right|thumb|200px|'''Az is a hottie''']]

This buxom Gaidin has been courted by all the companies, but it was MDD that captured his heart. Azrael, however, is a man of compassion, and being such, let down his suitors gently.

'''''Thanks for allowing me to guest with Dm these last few weeks, but I think it's time we took a break. No really, it's not you, it's me. I found some other company. I just don't feel that way about you. So I think we should see other people. I hope we can still be friends. I'll call.'''''

'''''XOXO Az'''''

[[Image: JacobBlack.jpg‎|left|thumb|100px|'''Other Company''']]
Some suitors didn't get the hint. Azrael had already found the love of his life but there was this other company that thought that persistance would pay off and 4 books didn't disabuse them of that notion. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel.

[[Image: Azraelportrait.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''Azrael al'Letifer''']]

===Jalen===

[[Image: Hubris.jpg|right|thumb|400px|'''Jalen''']]

In its modern usage, Jalen denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge. An accusation of Jalenism often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of Jalen and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of Jalen. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes someone accused of Jalen to act in foolish ways that belay common sense. In reference to someone being in Jalenity: jalenity is a fulfillment of being Jalenistic or a continual behavior of being prideful. Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exudes Jalen in order to become a great scientist, but eventually regrets this previous desire. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus exudes Jalen, all the way until his final minutes of life. Annabeth Chase's (of Percy Jackson and the Olympians) fatal flaw is Jalen.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

=== Mathei ===

[[Image: Stfuedutshirt.png‎|thumb|left|'''Mathei founded STFU, a school for gifted young adults''']]

The illustrious Mathei Kardone joined the ranks of MDD some years after the initial crusades and their aftermath had cooled. He was something of a religious hermit and pilgrim, moving from one barren wasteland to the next, in search of the right place to sew his spiritual seed. In the fine company of MDD, he found his home. He founded a school, STFU, and invited all who had the courage and fortitude to come and learn from the fine men and their female compatriots in MDD. Some topics of instruction included: Texas Hold Em, Inflaming the Proletariat, and STD Awareness. Let none get in the way of his re-edification and transformation of the minds of TarValon.net's malleable masses, lest they face his awesome wrath.

===Raam===

[[Image: Grimreaper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|'''Artist's rendering of Raam''']]

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

'''[[Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb (TarValon.Net)|Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb]] is a rogue band of mercenaries and heroes, sworn to defeat the oppression of mediocrity, complacency and malnutrition. Join us in our hellish crusade across the TarValon.net forums and you will be richly rewarded with everlasting life.'''

In the dreary months of 2004, it came to the administrators of TarValon.net that ''something'' was missing from their community, something integral. Throwing their primitive bones and casting shadows on screens with broken branches to attempt to decipher what could fill that god-shaped hole in their souls, they were interrupted all of a sudden! A holy and demonic light burst forth from the sky, destroying the Tower Library and several of the Dai M'hael's company scooters. Riding down on silver flaming horses crafted from platinum and sapphire, were seven heroes, nay, demigods with the power to right the wrongs and wrong the rights of TarValon.net, choosing to settle here within this community, to help save the people from themselves. They were:

Sataere the Cruel

Bale the Unforgiving

Sunri the Sly

Darim the Magnificent

Gwynidon the Hateful

al'Cary the Cunning

Jahem the Indomitable

Mustered once more from their respite, well-earned after defeating the Ice Lords of Saturn and the Mutant Harpies that dwell in the space between rationality and madness, they descended as they always had when the time came for their powers once more.

Still, in true God-like fashion, shortly after arrival MDD gave up on any sort of organized or coordinated effort to instill hope in the spirits of the Tower or City.

There is much received wisdom regarding the youngest and arguably most tightly-knit of the Tower Companies. But received wisdom is often neither wise nor true and so we must turn to the source in search of perspective and enlightenment.

Here then, is a take on Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb words of its members, aspirants and close associates. May it serve you well.

=== The official line ===

However, the person wanting it for their class never got around to it. Just stick it on the wiki and say it's done.
The company description, as set out in the company pages, hints at a company of marked individuals, free-thinkers and sardonic wits of whom it would be easy to assume egoism and irreverence were inherent traits. Unlike Sunday mornings however, not everything is as easy or as simple as it at first seems. Indeed, in between the derision of ignorance, the implications of exclusivity and the gentle mocking of convention, there are tenets that bear closer examination: freedom, creativity, loyalty, independence and an acceptance that everyone has something to offer, however small.

See: [http://www.tarvalon.net/content.php?160-The-Mahdi-in-d-ma-Dieb-Company TarValon.Net]

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">

There are many misconceptions about MDD. Some say MDD is a company for those who believe themselves unbeholden to policies--such as respect and decency--of general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens. Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

Pip al’Dealys, Gaidin
For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Darim Pelegro, Gaidin
So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation.

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

Raam Sho'am: /* Current Leadership */

'''[[Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb (TarValon.Net)|Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb]] is a rogue band of mercenaries and heroes, sworn to defeat the oppression of mediocrity, complacency and malnutrition. Join us in our hellish crusade across the TarValon.net forums and you will be richly rewarded with everlasting life.'''

In the dreary months of 2004, it came to the administrators of TarValon.net that ''something'' was missing from their community, something integral. Throwing their primitive bones and casting shadows on screens with broken branches to attempt to decipher what could fill that god-shaped hole in their souls, they were interrupted all of a sudden! A holy and demonic light burst forth from the sky, destroying the Tower Library and several of the Dai M'hael's company scooters. Riding down on silver flaming horses crafted from platinum and sapphire, were seven heroes, nay, demigods with the power to right the wrongs and wrong the rights of TarValon.net, choosing to settle here within this community, to help save the people from themselves. They were:

Sataere the Cruel

Bale the Unforgiving

Sunri the Sly

Darim the Magnificent

Gwynidon the Hateful

al'Cary the Cunning

Jahem the Indomitable

Mustered once more from their respite, well-earned after defeating the Ice Lords of Saturn and the Mutant Harpies that dwell in the space between rationality and madness, they descended as they always had when the time came for their powers once more.

Still, in true God-like fashion, shortly after arrival MDD gave up on any sort of organized or coordinated effort to instill hope in the spirits of the Tower or City.

There is much received wisdom regarding the youngest and arguably most tightly-knit of the Tower Companies. But received wisdom is often neither wise nor true and so we must turn to the source in search of perspective and enlightenment.

Here then, is a take on Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb words of its members, aspirants and close associates. May it serve you well.

=== The official line ===

However, the person wanting it for their class never got around to it. Just stick it on the wiki and say it's done.
The company description, as set out in the company pages, hints at a company of marked individuals, free-thinkers and sardonic wits of whom it would be easy to assume egoism and irreverence were inherent traits. Unlike Sunday mornings however, not everything is as easy or as simple as it at first seems. Indeed, in between the derision of ignorance, the implications of exclusivity and the gentle mocking of convention, there are tenets that bear closer examination: freedom, creativity, loyalty, independence and an acceptance that everyone has something to offer, however small.

See: [http://www.tarvalon.net/content.php?160-The-Mahdi-in-d-ma-Dieb-Company TarValon.Net]

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Sela Narian
There are many misconceptions about MDD. Some say MDD is a company for those who believe themselves unbeholden to policies--such as respect and decency--of general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens. Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

Note: All replies edited to remove the naughtier words and tangents. See italics.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Pip al’Dealys, Gaidin
For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Darim Pelegro, Gaidin
So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Izanagi Asklepios, Gaidin
something too naughty to share</div>

Along with not taking things too seriously. Even this.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Maeric Kelskaith, Gaidin
I had this buddy in college. He was sardonic, sarcastic, politically un-correct, and utterly crass. I wanted to break his face for about the first month that I knew him. But the more time I spent with the guy, I realized that he was actually just full of poop. Most of his acidity was just a test to see who could actually stick with him. If you could hang, and even possibly give a little back, he started treating you decently. Or as decently as he could treat anyone with his questionable manner. I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

And some of us hide song references in dry pieces of text.

Those songs being (in case you're interested):
1. Easy like Sunday morning – Lionel Ritchie
2. Ice, Ice, Baby – Vanilla Ice
3. Stuck in the middle with You – Stealers Wheel
4. (we want) The same thing – Belinda Carlisle

===Azrael===

[[Image: J_Patterson.jpg‎|right|thumb|200px|'''Az is a hottie''']]

This buxom Gaidin has been courted by all the companies, but it was MDD that captured his heart. Azrael, however, is a man of compassion, and being such, let down his suitors gently.

'''''Thanks for allowing me to guest with Dm these last few weeks, but I think it's time we took a break. No really, it's not you, it's me. I found some other company. I just don't feel that way about you. So I think we should see other people. I hope we can still be friends. I'll call.'''''

'''''XOXO Az'''''

[[Image: JacobBlack.jpg‎|left|thumb|100px|'''Other Company''']]
Some suitors didn't get the hint. Azrael had already found the love of his life but there was this other company that thought that persistance would pay off and 4 books didn't disabuse them of that notion. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel.

[[Image: Azraelportrait.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''Azrael al'Letifer''']]

===Jalen===

[[Image: Hubris.jpg|right|thumb|400px|'''Jalen''']]

In its modern usage, Jalen denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge. An accusation of Jalenism often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of Jalen and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of Jalen. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes someone accused of Jalen to act in foolish ways that belay common sense. In reference to someone being in Jalenity: jalenity is a fulfillment of being Jalenistic or a continual behavior of being prideful. Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exudes Jalen in order to become a great scientist, but eventually regrets this previous desire. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus exudes Jalen, all the way until his final minutes of life. Annabeth Chase's (of Percy Jackson and the Olympians) fatal flaw is Jalen.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

=== Mathei ===

[[Image: Stfuedutshirt.png‎|thumb|left|'''Mathei founded STFU, a school for gifted young adults''']]

The illustrious Mathei Kardone joined the ranks of MDD some years after the initial crusades and their aftermath had cooled. He was something of a religious hermit and pilgrim, moving from one barren wasteland to the next, in search of the right place to sew his spiritual seed. In the fine company of MDD, he found his home. He founded a school, STFU, and invited all who had the courage and fortitude to come and learn from the fine men and their female compatriots in MDD. Some topics of instruction included: Texas Hold Em, Inflaming the Proletariat, and STD Awareness. Let none get in the way of his re-edification and transformation of the minds of TarValon.net's malleable masses, lest they face his awesome wrath.

===Raam===

[[Image: Grimreaper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|'''Artist's rendering of Raam''']]

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

Indeed, in between the derision of ignorance, the implications of exclusivity and the gentle mocking of convention, there are tenets that bear closer examination: freedom, creativity, loyalty, independence and an acceptance that everyone has something to offer, however small.

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

There are many misconceptions about MDD. Some say MDD is a company for those who believe themselves unbeholden to policies--such as respect and decency--of general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens. Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

Darim Pelegro, Gaidin
So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

something too naughty to share</div>

Along with not taking things too seriously. Even this.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Maeric Kelskaith, Gaidin
I had this buddy in college. He was sardonic, sarcastic, politically un-correct, and utterly crass. I wanted to break his face for about the first month that I knew him. But the more time I spent with the guy, I realized that he was actually just full of poop. Most of his acidity was just a test to see who could actually stick with him. If you could hang, and even possibly give a little back, he started treating you decently. Or as decently as he could treat anyone with his questionable manner. I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

And some of us hide song references in dry pieces of text.

Those songs being (in case you're interested):
1. Easy like Sunday morning – Lionel Ritchie
2. Ice, Ice, Baby – Vanilla Ice
3. Stuck in the middle with You – Stealers Wheel
4. (we want) The same thing – Belinda Carlisle

===Azrael===

[[Image: J_Patterson.jpg‎|right|thumb|200px|'''Az is a hottie''']]

This buxom Gaidin has been courted by all the companies, but it was MDD that captured his heart. Azrael, however, is a man of compassion, and being such, let down his suitors gently.

'''''Thanks for allowing me to guest with Dm these last few weeks, but I think it's time we took a break. No really, it's not you, it's me. I found some other company. I just don't feel that way about you. So I think we should see other people. I hope we can still be friends. I'll call.'''''

'''''XOXO Az'''''

[[Image: JacobBlack.jpg‎|left|thumb|100px|'''Other Company''']]
Some suitors didn't get the hint. Azrael had already found the love of his life but there was this other company that thought that persistance would pay off and 4 books didn't disabuse them of that notion. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel.

[[Image: Azraelportrait.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''Azrael al'Letifer''']]

===Jalen===

[[Image: Hubris.jpg|right|thumb|400px|'''Jalen''']]

In its modern usage, Jalen denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge. An accusation of Jalenism often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of Jalen and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of Jalen. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes someone accused of Jalen to act in foolish ways that belay common sense. In reference to someone being in Jalenity: jalenity is a fulfillment of being Jalenistic or a continual behavior of being prideful. Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exudes Jalen in order to become a great scientist, but eventually regrets this previous desire. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus exudes Jalen, all the way until his final minutes of life. Annabeth Chase's (of Percy Jackson and the Olympians) fatal flaw is Jalen.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

=== Mathei ===

[[Image: Stfuedutshirt.png‎|thumb|left|'''Mathei founded STFU, a school for gifted young adults''']]

The illustrious Mathei Kardone joined the ranks of MDD some years after the initial crusades and their aftermath had cooled. He was something of a religious hermit and pilgrim, moving from one barren wasteland to the next, in search of the right place to sew his spiritual seed. In the fine company of MDD, he found his home. He founded a school, STFU, and invited all who had the courage and fortitude to come and learn from the fine men and their female compatriots in MDD. Some topics of instruction included: Texas Hold Em, Inflaming the Proletariat, and STD Awareness. Let none get in the way of his re-edification and transformation of the minds of TarValon.net's malleable masses, lest they face his awesome wrath.

===Raam===

[[Image: Grimreaper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|'''Artist's rendering of Raam''']]

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

Hall of the Tower (TV)

2017-04-04T02:23:03Z

Raam Sho'am: /* Members of the Hall */

{{MM|The Hall}}
==Overview==
The Hall is a representative body chosen from our Senior Membership that provides advice to the Board of Directors on membership and philanthropic issues. The Hall and Council (henceforth referred to as ‘the Hall’) serve as the main advisory board for the Administration. Each Ajah and Company chooses two representatives from their group to represent them for six months.

'''Department:''' None

'''Position Level:''' [[Staff]]

'''Rotation:''' Six month rotation

'''Merit Eligibility:''' [[Staff Merit]]
===Chain of Command===
The Hall is outside of the Departmental Structure.

==Position Duties==
*Vote on entry into the Tower
*Vote on advancement within the Tower
*Provide counsel whenever the {{Amyrlin}} should desire it, such as for membership bans, dispensing emergency funds, selecting a scholarship recipient and other sensitive issues.
==Expectations==
===Time Commitment===
==Qualifications==
*Be a Senior Member, ideally with at least six months experience

==History==
The Hall was created mid 2001, shortly after the formation of the Tower. In 2002, it was expanded to include Warder Councillors and its remit changed to include membership issues. It expanded to two members per Ajah/Company in 2004 and in 2005 became responsible for raisings to Aes Sedai or Gaidin, which previously had been the responsibility of Aes Sedai and Gaidin respectively. It took on responsibility for deciding on more Philanthropic aspects in 2010, at which time it was removed from the [[Department of Membership]].
===Members of the Hall===
'''Spring terms are defined as lasting April through September. Fall terms are defined as lasting October through March.'''

==Senior Member Interview==

'''Why did you choose Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb?'''

Mikey seduced me.

'''Who is your favorite character? Favorite nation?'''

Perrin, and probably either Shienar or Andor.

'''How were you introduced to the series?'''

I was looking for something new to read during some slow days at work, and Karaelyn suggested it to me.

'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''

Perrin. He’s far and away the one I relate to the most.

'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''

Morridin.

'''Favorite book and scene?'''

I really enjoyed The Shadow Rising and The Fires of Heaven. My favorite scene would probably be the cleansing, followed by Dumai’s Wells and Perrin forging Mah’alleinir.

'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''

Some form of craftsman, maybe a carpenter or blacksmith.

'''Seanchan or Shara?'''

Seanchan.

'''Asmodean or Sammael?'''

Asmodean; he proved adaptable and felt more fully-developed. Sammael seemed too straight-forward, and easy to manipulate or predict.

'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''

I met some of the senior members at Dragon*Con and joined the site shortly after. Initially I joined to discuss and theorize about the series, but my interactions with the other community members made the site feel like a good fit.

'''Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why? (Why do you think people should come to any future functions?)'''

Several, all of which have been enjoyable. It’s nice to interact in person with the people behind the avatars that I spend so much time discussing things with.

'''What do you do in "real life"?'''

Daydream, mostly.

'''What language(s) do you speak?'''

English, y yo hablo espanol, pero es no muy bien.

'''Do you have any hobbies?'''

I like to draw and build things. When I’m not doing that, I enjoy most forms of gaming and any form of storytelling.

'''Do you have a pet?'''

Two cats: one calm and one insane.

'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''

The Lord of the Rings tops the list of other fantasy. In the last decade I’ve probably read more comics than books; Fables and Garth Ennis’ run on The Punisher (MAX) are my favorites.

'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?'''

Knight. Or paleontologist.

'''What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?'''

Why would you think I’ve ever done anything like that? What...what have you heard?

'''Party or lounging at home?'''

Lounging.

'''Tea or coffee?'''

Tea.

'''A short bio about yourself:'''

One night, a girl’s voice awoke me from my sleep.
She telepathically pled:
“Help me…
My name is Zelda…
I am in the castle dungeon.”
I jumped out of bed, not knowing whether the voice was part of a dream or reality. Upon leaving my bed, I found my uncle, who should have been fast asleep at that time, preparing to go out, girded for battle.
“I’ll be back by morning,” he said as he departed. “Don’t leave the house.”
I watched him leave with the family sword in hand and shield on arm. That night was like no other...Who was Zelda? Where had my uncle gone, and for what reason?
And so, on an ill-fated night, a new chapter in my life began…

Mikey is the next step in evolution. Anyone who hopes to ever make anything of himself should seek Mikey's favor. The best way of doing that is bending over and saying AH. If that does not work, one must humbly approach Mikey and beg for this most exalted being to suggest another way to please him.

Hall of the Tower (TV)

2017-04-03T15:42:12Z

Raam Sho'am: /* Fall 2016 */

{{MM|The Hall}}
==Overview==
The Hall is a representative body chosen from our Senior Membership that provides advice to the Board of Directors on membership and philanthropic issues. The Hall and Council (henceforth referred to as ‘the Hall’) serve as the main advisory board for the Administration. Each Ajah and Company chooses two representatives from their group to represent them for six months.

'''Department:''' None

'''Position Level:''' [[Staff]]

'''Rotation:''' Six month rotation

'''Merit Eligibility:''' [[Staff Merit]]
===Chain of Command===
The Hall is outside of the Departmental Structure.

==Position Duties==
*Vote on entry into the Tower
*Vote on advancement within the Tower
*Provide counsel whenever the {{Amyrlin}} should desire it, such as for membership bans, dispensing emergency funds, selecting a scholarship recipient and other sensitive issues.
==Expectations==
===Time Commitment===
==Qualifications==
*Be a Senior Member, ideally with at least six months experience

==History==
The Hall was created mid 2001, shortly after the formation of the Tower. In 2002, it was expanded to include Warder Councillors and its remit changed to include membership issues. It expanded to two members per Ajah/Company in 2004 and in 2005 became responsible for raisings to Aes Sedai or Gaidin, which previously had been the responsibility of Aes Sedai and Gaidin respectively. It took on responsibility for deciding on more Philanthropic aspects in 2010, at which time it was removed from the [[Department of Membership]].
===Members of the Hall===
'''Spring terms are defined as lasting April through September. Fall terms are defined as lasting October through March.''' 
''(Before 2015, Spring terms were defined as lasting January through June and Fall terms lasted July through December. Spring 2015 was a transitioning term, which lasted from January to September.)''

==Senior Member Interview==
''Nov 2013''

'''Why did you choose Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb?'''

In a way I was drafted. In another I had been told that I'd fit MDD like a glove so that's where I first set my eyes and they did not seem to hate me overly much so it worked out.

'''Who is your favorite character? Favorite nation?'''

Mat, can't say I have a favourite nation.

'''How were you introduced to the series?'''

By a member that is not a member here anymore (Lyuna Sedai).

'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''

I don't have one.

'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''

'''Favorite book and scene?'''

Too much effort to figure out right now.

'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''

'''Asmodean or Sammael?'''

Asmodean

'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''

Same person that introduced me to the books showed me the site, I decided to stay because I encountered a bunch of lovely people.

'''Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why? (Why do you think people should come to any future functions?)'''

Nope.

'''What do you do in "real life"?'''

Stuff.

'''What language(s) do you speak?'''

Swedish and English, Swedish being my native language.

'''Do you have any hobbies?'''

'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''

Mistborn and Stormlight Archive, also Kingkiller Chronicles.

Lounging at home.

==Senior Member Interview==
''Nov 2013''

'''Why did you choose Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb?'''

In a way I was drafted. In another I had been told that I'd fit MDD like a glove so that's where I first set my eyes and they did not seem to hate me overly much so it worked out.

'''Who is your favorite character? Favorite nation?'''

Mat, can't say I have a favourite nation.

'''How were you introduced to the series?'''

By a member that is not a member here anymore (Lyuna Sedai).

'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''

I don't have one.

'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''

See above.

'''Favorite book and scene?'''

Too much effort to figure out right now.

'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''

A lazy good for nothing, making a living by scamming people.

'''Seanchan or Shara?'''

Shara

'''Asmodean or Sammael?'''

Asmodean

'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''

Same person that introduced me to the books showed me the site, I decided to stay because I encountered a bunch of lovely people.

'''Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why? (Why do you think people should come to any future functions?)'''

Nope.

'''What do you do in "real life"?'''

Stuff.

'''What language(s) do you speak?'''

Swedish and English, Swedish being my native language.

'''Do you have any hobbies?'''

A couple, most of them are related to computer games.

'''Do you have a pet?'''

No, used to have a cat.

'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''

Mistborn and Stormlight Archive, also Kingkiller Chronicles.

'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?'''

Football (soccer) pro.

'''What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?'''

''editor's note: interviewee's answer to this was ":shifty," but as that does not translate in the library...''

'''Party or lounging at home?'''

Lounging at home.

'''Tea or coffee?'''

TEA4LYF

'''A short bio about yourself.'''

Meh.

In the dreary months of 2004, it came to the administrators of TarValon.net that ''something'' was missing from their community, something integral. Throwing their primitive bones and casting shadows on screens with broken branches to attempt to decipher what could fill that god-shaped hole in their souls, they were interrupted all of a sudden! A holy and demonic light burst forth from the sky, destroying the Tower Library and several of the Dai M'hael's company scooters. Riding down on silver flaming horses crafted from platinum and sapphire, were seven heroes, nay, demigods with the power to right the wrongs and wrong the rights of TarValon.net, choosing to settle here within this community, to help save the people from themselves. They were:

Sataere the Cruel

Bale the Unforgiving

Sunri the Sly

Darim the Magnificent

Gwynidon the Hateful

al'Cary the Cunning

Jahem the Indomitable

Mustered once more from their respite, well-earned after defeating the Ice Lords of Saturn and the Mutant Harpies that dwell in the space between rationality and madness, they descended as they always had when the time came for their powers once more.

Still, in true God-like fashion, shortly after arrival MDD gave up on any sort of organized or coordinated effort to instill hope in the spirits of the Tower or City.

There is much received wisdom regarding the youngest and arguably most tightly-knit of the Tower Companies. But received wisdom is often neither wise nor true and so we must turn to the source in search of perspective and enlightenment.

Here then, is a take on Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb words of its members, aspirants and close associates. May it serve you well.

However, the person wanting it for their class never got around to it. Just stick it on the wiki and say it's done.
The company description, as set out in the company pages, hints at a company of marked individuals, free-thinkers and sardonic wits of whom it would be easy to assume egoism and irreverence were inherent traits.

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

There are many misconceptions about MDD. Some say MDD is a company for those who believe themselves unbeholden to policies--such as respect and decency--of general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens. Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

Note: All replies edited to remove the naughtier words and tangents. See italics.

For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

something too naughty to share</div>

Along with not taking things too seriously. Even this.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Maeric Kelskaith, Gaidin
I had this buddy in college. He was sardonic, sarcastic, politically un-correct, and utterly crass. I wanted to break his face for about the first month that I knew him. But the more time I spent with the guy, I realized that he was actually just full of poop. Most of his acidity was just a test to see who could actually stick with him. If you could hang, and even possibly give a little back, he started treating you decently. Or as decently as he could treat anyone with his questionable manner. I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

And some of us hide song references in dry pieces of text.

Those songs being (in case you're interested):
1. Easy like Sunday morning – Lionel Ritchie
2. Ice, Ice, Baby – Vanilla Ice
3. Stuck in the middle with You – Stealers Wheel
4. (we want) The same thing – Belinda Carlisle

===Azrael===

[[Image: J_Patterson.jpg‎|right|thumb|200px|'''Az is a hottie''']]

This buxom Gaidin has been courted by all the companies, but it was MDD that captured his heart. Azrael, however, is a man of compassion, and being such, let down his suitors gently.

'''''Thanks for allowing me to guest with Dm these last few weeks, but I think it's time we took a break. No really, it's not you, it's me. I found some other company. I just don't feel that way about you. So I think we should see other people. I hope we can still be friends. I'll call.'''''

'''''XOXO Az'''''

[[Image: JacobBlack.jpg‎|left|thumb|100px|'''Other Company''']]
Some suitors didn't get the hint. Azrael had already found the love of his life but there was this other company that thought that persistance would pay off and 4 books didn't disabuse them of that notion. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel.

[[Image: Azraelportrait.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''Azrael al'Letifer''']]

===Jalen===

[[Image: Hubris.jpg|right|thumb|400px|'''Jalen''']]

In its modern usage, Jalen denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge. An accusation of Jalenism often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of Jalen and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of Jalen. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes someone accused of Jalen to act in foolish ways that belay common sense. In reference to someone being in Jalenity: jalenity is a fulfillment of being Jalenistic or a continual behavior of being prideful. Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exudes Jalen in order to become a great scientist, but eventually regrets this previous desire. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus exudes Jalen, all the way until his final minutes of life. Annabeth Chase's (of Percy Jackson and the Olympians) fatal flaw is Jalen.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

=== Mathei ===

[[Image: Stfuedutshirt.png‎|thumb|left|'''Mathei founded STFU, a school for gifted young adults''']]

The illustrious Mathei Kardone joined the ranks of MDD some years after the initial crusades and their aftermath had cooled. He was something of a religious hermit and pilgrim, moving from one barren wasteland to the next, in search of the right place to sew his spiritual seed. In the fine company of MDD, he found his home. He founded a school, STFU, and invited all who had the courage and fortitude to come and learn from the fine men and their female compatriots in MDD. Some topics of instruction included: Texas Hold Em, Inflaming the Proletariat, and STD Awareness. Let none get in the way of his re-edification and transformation of the minds of TarValon.net's malleable masses, lest they face his awesome wrath.

===Raam===

[[Image: Grimreaper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|'''Artist's rendering of Raam''']]

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

===Azrael===

[[Image: J_Patterson.jpg‎|right|thumb|200px|'''Az is a hottie''']]

This buxom Gaidin has been courted by all the companies, but it was MDD that captured his heart. Azrael, however, is a man of compassion, and being such, let down his suitors gently.

'''''Thanks for allowing me to guest with Dm these last few weeks, but I think it's time we took a break. No really, it's not you, it's me. I found some other company. I just don't feel that way about you. So I think we should see other people. I hope we can still be friends. I'll call.'''''

'''''XOXO Az'''''

[[Image: JacobBlack.jpg‎|left|thumb|100px|'''Other Company''']]
Some suitors didn't get the hint. Azrael had already found the love of his life but there was this other company that thought that persistance would pay off and 4 books didn't disabuse them of that notion. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel.

[[Image: Azraelportrait.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''Azrael al'Letifer''']]

===Jalen===

[[Image: Hubris.jpg|right|thumb|400px|'''Jalen''']]

In its modern usage, Jalen denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge. An accusation of Jalenism often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of Jalen and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of Jalen. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes someone accused of Jalen to act in foolish ways that belay common sense. In reference to someone being in Jalenity: jalenity is a fulfillment of being Jalenistic or a continual behavior of being prideful. Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exudes Jalen in order to become a great scientist, but eventually regrets this previous desire. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus exudes Jalen, all the way until his final minutes of life. Annabeth Chase's (of Percy Jackson and the Olympians) fatal flaw is Jalen.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

=== Mathei ===

[[Image: Stfuedutshirt.png‎|thumb|left|'''Mathei founded STFU, a school for gifted young adults''']]

The illustrious Mathei Kardone joined the ranks of MDD some years after the initial crusades and their aftermath had cooled. He was something of a religious hermit and pilgrim, moving from one barren wasteland to the next, in search of the right place to sew his spiritual seed. In the fine company of MDD, he found his home. He founded a school, STFU, and invited all who had the courage and fortitude to come and learn from the fine men and their female compatriots in MDD. Some topics of instruction included: Texas Hold Em, Inflaming the Proletariat, and STD Awareness. Let none get in the way of his re-edification and transformation of the minds of TarValon.net's malleable masses, lest they face his awesome wrath.

===Raam===

[[Image: Grimreaper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|'''Artist's rendering of Raam''']]

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

Raam Sho'am: /* Current Leadership */

[[Image: barack2.jpg|right|thumb|'''Barack Obama''' 44th President of the United States of America]]

'''[[Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb (TarValon.Net)|Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb]] is a rogue band of mercenaries and heroes, sworn to defeat the oppression of mediocrity, complacency and malnutrition. Join us in our hellish crusade across the TarValon.net forums and you will be richly rewarded with everlasting life.'''

In the dreary months of 2004, it came to the administrators of TarValon.net that ''something'' was missing from their community, something integral. Throwing their primitive bones and casting shadows on screens with broken branches to attempt to decipher what could fill that god-shaped hole in their souls, they were interrupted all of a sudden! A holy and demonic light burst forth from the sky, destroying the Tower Library and several of the Dai M'hael's company scooters. Riding down on silver flaming horses crafted from platinum and sapphire, were seven heroes, nay, demigods with the power to right the wrongs and wrong the rights of TarValon.net, choosing to settle here within this community, to help save the people from themselves. They were:

Sataere the Cruel

Bale the Unforgiving

Sunri the Sly

Darim the Magnificent

Gwynidon the Hateful

al'Cary the Cunning

Jahem the Indomitable

Mustered once more from their respite, well-earned after defeating the Ice Lords of Saturn and the Mutant Harpies that dwell in the space between rationality and madness, they descended as they always had when the time came for their powers once more.

Still, in true God-like fashion, shortly after arrival MDD gave up on any sort of organized or coordinated effort to instill hope in the spirits of the Tower or City.

There is much received wisdom regarding the youngest and arguably most tightly-knit of the Tower Companies. But received wisdom is often neither wise nor true and so we must turn to the source in search of perspective and enlightenment.

Here then, is a take on Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb words of its members, aspirants and close associates. May it serve you well.

=== The official line ===

However, the person wanting it for their class never got around to it. Just stick it on the wiki and say it's done.
The company description, as set out in the company pages, hints at a company of marked individuals, free-thinkers and sardonic wits of whom it would be easy to assume egoism and irreverence were inherent traits. Unlike Sunday mornings however, not everything is as easy or as simple as it at first seems. Indeed, in between the derision of ignorance, the implications of exclusivity and the gentle mocking of convention, there are tenets that bear closer examination: freedom, creativity, loyalty, independence and an acceptance that everyone has something to offer, however small.

See: [http://www.tarvalon.net/content.php?160-The-Mahdi-in-d-ma-Dieb-Company TarValon.Net]

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Sela Narian
There are many misconceptions about MDD. Some say MDD is a company for those who believe themselves unbeholden to policies--such as respect and decency--of general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens. Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

Note: All replies edited to remove the naughtier words and tangents. See italics.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Pip al’Dealys, Gaidin
For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Darim Pelegro, Gaidin
So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Izanagi Asklepios, Gaidin
something too naughty to share</div>

Along with not taking things too seriously. Even this.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Maeric Kelskaith, Gaidin
I had this buddy in college. He was sardonic, sarcastic, politically un-correct, and utterly crass. I wanted to break his face for about the first month that I knew him. But the more time I spent with the guy, I realized that he was actually just full of poop. Most of his acidity was just a test to see who could actually stick with him. If you could hang, and even possibly give a little back, he started treating you decently. Or as decently as he could treat anyone with his questionable manner. I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation.

When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

Raam Sho'am: /* Current Leadership */

[[Image: barack2.jpg|right|thumb|'''Barack Obama''' 44th President of the United States of America]]

'''[[Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb (TarValon.Net)|Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb]] is a rogue band of mercenaries and heroes, sworn to defeat the oppression of mediocrity, complacency and malnutrition. Join us in our hellish crusade across the TarValon.net forums and you will be richly rewarded with everlasting life.'''

In the dreary months of 2004, it came to the administrators of TarValon.net that ''something'' was missing from their community, something integral. Throwing their primitive bones and casting shadows on screens with broken branches to attempt to decipher what could fill that god-shaped hole in their souls, they were interrupted all of a sudden! A holy and demonic light burst forth from the sky, destroying the Tower Library and several of the Dai M'hael's company scooters. Riding down on silver flaming horses crafted from platinum and sapphire, were seven heroes, nay, demigods with the power to right the wrongs and wrong the rights of TarValon.net, choosing to settle here within this community, to help save the people from themselves. They were:

Sataere the Cruel

Bale the Unforgiving

Sunri the Sly

Darim the Magnificent

Gwynidon the Hateful

al'Cary the Cunning

Jahem the Indomitable

Mustered once more from their respite, well-earned after defeating the Ice Lords of Saturn and the Mutant Harpies that dwell in the space between rationality and madness, they descended as they always had when the time came for their powers once more.

Still, in true God-like fashion, shortly after arrival MDD gave up on any sort of organized or coordinated effort to instill hope in the spirits of the Tower or City.

There is much received wisdom regarding the youngest and arguably most tightly-knit of the Tower Companies. But received wisdom is often neither wise nor true and so we must turn to the source in search of perspective and enlightenment.

Here then, is a take on Mahdi'in d'ma Dieb words of its members, aspirants and close associates. May it serve you well.

=== The official line ===

However, the person wanting it for their class never got around to it. Just stick it on the wiki and say it's done.
The company description, as set out in the company pages, hints at a company of marked individuals, free-thinkers and sardonic wits of whom it would be easy to assume egoism and irreverence were inherent traits. Unlike Sunday mornings however, not everything is as easy or as simple as it at first seems. Indeed, in between the derision of ignorance, the implications of exclusivity and the gentle mocking of convention, there are tenets that bear closer examination: freedom, creativity, loyalty, independence and an acceptance that everyone has something to offer, however small.

See: [http://www.tarvalon.net/content.php?160-The-Mahdi-in-d-ma-Dieb-Company TarValon.Net]

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Sela Narian
There are many misconceptions about MDD! Some believe that it is a company for people who believe themselves unbeholden to policies such as respect and decency which might apply to general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members are rather good people. They would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens! Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

Note: All replies edited to remove the naughtier words and tangents. See italics.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Pip al’Dealys, Gaidin
For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Darim Pelegro, Gaidin
So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Izanagi Asklepios, Gaidin
something too naughty to share</div>

Along with not taking things too seriously. Even this.

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Maeric Kelskaith, Gaidin
I had this buddy in college. He was sardonic, sarcastic, politically un-correct, and utterly crass. I wanted to break his face for about the first month that I knew him. But the more time I spent with the guy, I realized that he was actually just full of poop. Most of his acidity was just a test to see who could actually stick with him. If you could hang, and even possibly give a little back, he started treating you decently. Or as decently as he could treat anyone with his questionable manner. I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

And some of us hide song references in dry pieces of text.

Those songs being (in case you're interested):
1. Easy like Sunday morning – Lionel Ritchie
2. Ice, Ice, Baby – Vanilla Ice
3. Stuck in the middle with You – Stealers Wheel
4. (we want) The same thing – Belinda Carlisle

== Member Biographies ==

===Azrael===

[[Image: J_Patterson.jpg‎|right|thumb|200px|'''Az is a hottie''']]

This buxom Gaidin has been courted by all the companies, but it was MDD that captured his heart. Azrael, however, is a man of compassion, and being such, let down his suitors gently.

'''''Thanks for allowing me to guest with Dm these last few weeks, but I think it's time we took a break. No really, it's not you, it's me. I found some other company. I just don't feel that way about you. So I think we should see other people. I hope we can still be friends. I'll call.'''''

'''''XOXO Az'''''

[[Image: JacobBlack.jpg‎|left|thumb|100px|'''Other Company''']]
Some suitors didn't get the hint. Azrael had already found the love of his life but there was this other company that thought that persistance would pay off and 4 books didn't disabuse them of that notion. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel.

[[Image: Azraelportrait.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''Azrael al'Letifer''']]

===Jalen===

[[Image: Hubris.jpg|right|thumb|400px|'''Jalen''']]

In its modern usage, Jalen denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge. An accusation of Jalenism often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of Jalen and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of Jalen. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes someone accused of Jalen to act in foolish ways that belay common sense. In reference to someone being in Jalenity: jalenity is a fulfillment of being Jalenistic or a continual behavior of being prideful. Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exudes Jalen in order to become a great scientist, but eventually regrets this previous desire. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus exudes Jalen, all the way until his final minutes of life. Annabeth Chase's (of Percy Jackson and the Olympians) fatal flaw is Jalen.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

=== Mathei ===

[[Image: Stfuedutshirt.png‎|thumb|left|'''Mathei founded STFU, a school for gifted young adults''']]

The illustrious Mathei Kardone joined the ranks of MDD some years after the initial crusades and their aftermath had cooled. He was something of a religious hermit and pilgrim, moving from one barren wasteland to the next, in search of the right place to sew his spiritual seed. In the fine company of MDD, he found his home. He founded a school, STFU, and invited all who had the courage and fortitude to come and learn from the fine men and their female compatriots in MDD. Some topics of instruction included: Texas Hold Em, Inflaming the Proletariat, and STD Awareness. Let none get in the way of his re-edification and transformation of the minds of TarValon.net's malleable masses, lest they face his awesome wrath.

===Raam===

[[Image: Grimreaper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|'''Artist's rendering of Raam''']]

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.

''August 24, 2014''

*;Why did you choose Brown?
Because it's where I felt most free to be me. I'm not like all my Sisters--I have no interest in tentacles or shapeshifter porn--but the men and women of Brown make me feel most at home. Cliche? Yup. Don't care. It's a cliche because it's the best reason to choose the community you will spend time with, anywhere in life.

*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
Yes. And yes, and yes.

*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Is this even a question?

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Well Crown of Swords was the latest, so sometime between 1996 and 1998.

*;How did you first get into the series?
I was reading everything in the house, which also included some books of my parents' that were definitely more mature than I was ready for ("The Hothouse," about life in Leavenworth prison). So I stole my brother's books.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Mat or Lan

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Graendel. She's the shiznit yo.

*;Favorite book and scene?
Off the top of my head I think "Knife of Dreams" and the scene between Egwene and Verin.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
random misc townsperson, just like I am now. But if I have to pick a main character I'm totally Nynaeve.

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I was curious after watching Big Bang Theory: there are Cons for other stuff, is there a Con for fantasy lit? Found JordanCon and DragonCon and on one of the websites I read about DragonMount and TV.net. Tried both, loved TV, stayed. Oh and why I stayed: the people.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
I'm acting student and Air National Guardsman.

*;Do you have any hobbies?
Music, reading (duh), and theatre.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Mostly musical theatre and radio alternative/rock/pop, some country, Celtic, r&b, electronic, opera, classical, movie soundtracks, & 60s folk rock.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Princess Bride, Lawrence of Arabia, romantic comedies... Psych, Chuck, Big Bang Theory, West Wing, Once Upon a Time, and recently, Mixology.

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
Jane Eyre, Phantom of the Opera, anything by Weis & Hickman, Malazan (still slowly reading it), and. Dunno. Books.

*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Paleontologist. Then Author. Didn't want to be an actor till high school.

Indeed, in between the derision of ignorance, the implications of exclusivity and the gentle mocking of convention, there are tenets that bear closer examination: freedom, creativity, loyalty, independence and an acceptance that everyone has something to offer, however small.

As Sela Sedai stated back in 2006 (''at the time an impartial observer of MDD and not bonded to one of the founding members'').

There are many misconceptions about MDD! Some believe that it is a company for people who believe themselves unbeholden to policies such as respect and decency which might apply to general social interaction. This is mostly untrue. MDD members are rather good people. They would probably save the world just as soon as anyone else. I bet some of them donate blood, and I know that Darim Gaidin loves kittens! Just today I saw a picture of Jalen Gaidin hugging a baby!
</div>

===That was then, this is now===

But time marches on and 2006 has long since faded into distant memory. So what of the moment? Have things changed for MDD or are they still prone to invention? Do they still take the time to stop and listen to one another and engender a spirit of collaboration which ensures the points they make are valid and true? I asked; what’s it all about?

For me MDD is just a bit of fun with the odd casual laugh thrown in to boot. What I've found is that we seemed to be grouped together a lot more than the other Companies and it seems to be 'MDD are most naughty' or 'MDD did....', so we've lost our individuality and entered a collective. Personally, I've mixed feelings about this, hence why I'm probably the most active member of MDD outside our forums and why I felt the nice thread was necessary.

I can't remember who it was, but someone described this forum as a contest to show off the biggest e-winky and I think that's a fairly accurate description. Take away the forums and chat to anyone (even redacted for lovliness) and there's a decent person there, yet when we come together on the forums, it turns into a free for all of sarcastic homoerotica and little boys showing off. :P

That probably doesn't make any sense to you but at least I gave it a go. ^-^
</div>

But is it all big e-winkys, homoerotica and decent people pretending they’re not?

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
D'Ran al'Fir, Gaidin
i think the MDD Creed should be Solidarity in Difference or something like it but homoerotic and crass. We mostly love each other and the people we acquaint with. We enjoy ribbing one another as much (if not more) than we enjoy messing with people not affiliated with the group. It's one of the many things I like about the group. We can dish it out and take it, usually.

I've been part of MDD almost since it was started. And honestly I love what I see about them and this place. We've all grown, I think. I think these are good people. As MDD, they are loyal and steadfast in their reliability. They provide hours and hours of entertainment. They are quickwitted and morally depraved. They're a bunch of beautiful people of questionable parentage.
</div>

Common ground, then, plays an important part. A mutual acceptance of banter and a willingness not to take things too seriously while, at the same time, still retaining a sense of what is important. To further expound:

<div style="background:Gainsboro; width: 50%; margin-left: 10%; padding: 5px; border: 1px gray solid;">
Whil al'Gwin, Gaidin
i would agree with D’Ran re: solidarity in difference. we are all different people, some of us very much so (i'm looking in your direction nameless one <3) but i still like everyone here except some guy who's pretty bad at this. despite pip's genius analysis i've never seen mdd's ribbing as any sort of effort to one up one another, quite the opposite i love when one of us pulls off a really good rib or joke or starts a good bit we can all use and expand upon. those are some of my favorite parts of mdd, when someone comes up with a funny thing we can all get in on.

[...]

if i had to pick out what "made" someone mdd i would say not only being willing to take a joke but being able to skillfully craft and execute a joke. there has to be humor but also some degree of nuance to the humor otherwise it doesn't really fit with what we do. we might be idiots, but we're very smart idiots.
</div>

Humour then, is integral. And, while it may seem malicious to the outsider, it becomes apparent that it is for the sheer pleasure of a well executed jest. Clowns and jokers to either side then, with you stuck in the middle?

Darim Pelegro, Gaidin
So, SDS is Brawn, DM is 'Brain', VC is Heart, and when they made MDD, we were to be Spirit, which has been interpreted as independence of thought, heart and body. Not only independence of spirit, but strength of spirit - we stand alone a lot of the time, even in the face of one another, either for a lark or on principle. That is what separates us from the other companies: our capacity to act alone, independent and with commitment.

[...]

We're individuals... just together, rather than alone, because it's more fun that way.
</div>

While there are perhaps grounds to quibble as to the independent nature of other companies, it is undoubtedly the case that many within MDD are indeed notable for doing their own thing whether ridiculous or somewhat more considered. Humour, independence and freedom, it would seem, remain at the core of what makes MDD MDD.

something too naughty to share</div>

Along with not taking things too seriously. Even this.

Maeric Kelskaith, Gaidin
I had this buddy in college. He was sardonic, sarcastic, politically un-correct, and utterly crass. I wanted to break his face for about the first month that I knew him. But the more time I spent with the guy, I realized that he was actually just full of poop. Most of his acidity was just a test to see who could actually stick with him. If you could hang, and even possibly give a little back, he started treating you decently. Or as decently as he could treat anyone with his questionable manner. I would watch him as he interacted with new people. They either loved him or hated him. Most hated him. But he was cool with that, because he knew the friends he did have accepted him for exactly who he was. John actually became one of my better friends while I was in college.

I see MDD and it many of it's members like my buddy, John - surly, vain, acerbic, and highly intelligent. MDD is rough and down-right uncouth. And yet, all the more endearing for it's unapologetic character. If you can hang, have a sense of humor, not take what is said quite so seriously, and possibly return some in kind, then MDD might perhaps be a friend to you. It certainly has been that for me.</div>

This, for me, best sums up what MDD is about though, if it is a test, it isn’t a conscious one. Fundamentally, it’s about people being people. It’s about humour, individuality and an acceptance that nothing’s so serious that you can’t poke a little fun at it. Everyone’s different, and not everyone gets along all the time; but it’s ok because, ultimately, we dream the same dream and we want the same thing.

===Azrael===

[[Image: J_Patterson.jpg‎|right|thumb|200px|'''Az is a hottie''']]

This buxom Gaidin has been courted by all the companies, but it was MDD that captured his heart. Azrael, however, is a man of compassion, and being such, let down his suitors gently.

'''''Thanks for allowing me to guest with Dm these last few weeks, but I think it's time we took a break. No really, it's not you, it's me. I found some other company. I just don't feel that way about you. So I think we should see other people. I hope we can still be friends. I'll call.'''''

'''''XOXO Az'''''

[[Image: JacobBlack.jpg‎|left|thumb|100px|'''Other Company''']]
Some suitors didn't get the hint. Azrael had already found the love of his life but there was this other company that thought that persistance would pay off and 4 books didn't disabuse them of that notion. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel.

[[Image: Azraelportrait.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''Azrael al'Letifer''']]

===Jalen===

[[Image: Hubris.jpg|right|thumb|400px|'''Jalen''']]

In its modern usage, Jalen denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, not always with the lack of knowledge. An accusation of Jalenism often implies that suffering or punishment will follow, similar to the occasional pairing of Jalen and nemesis in the Greek world. The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of Jalen. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes someone accused of Jalen to act in foolish ways that belay common sense. In reference to someone being in Jalenity: jalenity is a fulfillment of being Jalenistic or a continual behavior of being prideful. Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein exudes Jalen in order to become a great scientist, but eventually regrets this previous desire. Faustus in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus exudes Jalen, all the way until his final minutes of life. Annabeth Chase's (of Percy Jackson and the Olympians) fatal flaw is Jalen.

=== Maeric ===

During the Days of Darkness when there were but three Companies of TarValon.Net, it was Foretold that a new Company would come to shake the pillars of the Heaven and Earth. And so it came to pass that Sataere the Cruel, Bale the Unforgiving, Sunri the Sly, Darim the Magnificent, Gwynidon the Hateful, al'Cary the Cunning, and Jahem the Indomitable rent the fabrics of reality and formed with their adamant hands, a new creation. It was a Company like none other. It was MDD.
There is but one Company and Maeric Kelskaith, called the Burninator and Voodoo Needler, is its Prophet.

A true prophet's prophet, Maeric is a swanky fellow. Though not a member of the Mighty 7, his application to the Company was one of predestination. Evaluating his merit and faith, the Mighty 7 inflicted upon him a grievous test of testicular fortitude during which he was sorely taxed. He felt their touch of ancient anger and the claws of undying sorrow. Recounting his trial, he was heard to say, "“The darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back-for a brief time, until my task was done. And naked I lay upon the mountaintop. I can't really remember why I was naked or how I got on the mountaintop.”

Being the Prophet of MDD, Maeric has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born under the pale light of the full Wyoming moon and the jackalopes sang in jubilation at his coming. He meteorically rose to become a facade of integrity for his intransigent Company. Each of the different phases of his life provide examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living. The Prophet's character is naught but a paragon of virtue, a model for all men and a mannequin for all women.
At one particular Anni, Maeric's sacrosanct character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the epithet of "Burninator" from his compatriots and those in attendance for submitting the MDD Awards unto the cleansing flame. His supernatural skill in the occult art of Voodoo Needling, what he lovingly calls "Pinmanship," has dominated many in the ranks of the Tower including those within its very Adminstration.
Some say that he is a Lich and his life force is bound up in a magic phylactery. Some say that he's the only non-asshole of MDD. Some say "who is he again?" No one really knows for sure.

=== Mathei ===

[[Image: Stfuedutshirt.png‎|thumb|left|'''Mathei founded STFU, a school for gifted young adults''']]

The illustrious Mathei Kardone joined the ranks of MDD some years after the initial crusades and their aftermath had cooled. He was something of a religious hermit and pilgrim, moving from one barren wasteland to the next, in search of the right place to sew his spiritual seed. In the fine company of MDD, he found his home. He founded a school, STFU, and invited all who had the courage and fortitude to come and learn from the fine men and their female compatriots in MDD. Some topics of instruction included: Texas Hold Em, Inflaming the Proletariat, and STD Awareness. Let none get in the way of his re-edification and transformation of the minds of TarValon.net's malleable masses, lest they face his awesome wrath.

===Raam===

[[Image: Grimreaper.jpg|thumb|right|400px|'''Artist's rendering of Raam''']]

Like a chill in your bones, Raam's presence fills you with dread. In MDD he is likened unto Death, roaming the vast wasteland of the internet spreading discord, loathing all whom his eyes fall upon. One day, he will scour the earth, except for his Chosen People. And from his depraved mind will rise forth a tempest on the day of the apocalypse, rending the flesh from the moronic, annihilating the souls of the pretentious, and destroying the hopes of billions. And no, he didn't steal any of this from God. God stole it from him.

===Whil===

[[Image: whil.gif|left| '''whil gaidin can do magic''']]

Whil is, depending on your culture and upbringing, a friendly woodland spirit, a sentient wind-creature, or the patron saint of japanese monster movies. When he chooses to grace you with his presence, your spirits begin to soar and your mind is enlightened. Whil's legs are made out of tigers and his heart is full of hate and gasoline. Whil is known throughout the halllowed halls of the MDD compound as a lothario, a modern day Don Juan, an impish male beauty that the ladies are powerless to resist.

This rakish rogue sweeps into a room and turns all hearts a-flutter, leaving many craving death, knowing that they would never be able to suckle upon this Lothario's man flesh. He also is lactose intolerant. And a trichotillomaniac. But don't be dissuaded from loving this gaseous, eyebrowless, lovely man. Knowing his embrace is akin to freebasing your childhood memories. Come to Whil. Come to flavor country. Except don't, he's awful.
