Result of last Sunday's Colony Wars:

Searching for Adelina's booty online flash game:

This game is simple, just log in click the x marks and cross your fingers for an elite
or you can just click the numbers on the compass for faster random searches... BTW you have 30 trial chances when not logged in but of course you won't get the items even if you won the highest loots.....

There's one more, players can now take a trip to the dark side with the new Rnpcs Kurt Lyndon & Edward Jameson as well as the awaited lvl 92 elite weapons recipe....

Random Screenies:

hhmm.. there's a bit of misunderstanding between the two...

Colony Wars Attempt of CARNAGE Faction

2008-02-10T22:19:00.000-08:00

Here's an earlier screenshot of the maps with a lone CARNAGE colony at porto bello deserted quay that at least lasted an hour.

Am sorry if I cannot give comments nor cover story because I was attending to a phone call that time... (but still joined the war).... however here's a full report on Cervantes CW click here

Only 11 members of CARNAGE were present that time, so frankly most of us just got due to the fact that some of us have just returned since CARNAGE was dismembered and still has few members, but it was sure fun for this is the first colony wars this year for me and what a return!!!

Thank you to all CARNAGE members who participated although we didn't have any colony at least that was a very very nice attempt

Searching For Adelina's Booty

2008-02-06T17:36:00.000-08:00

COMING SOON! Online Flash Game: Searching For Adelina's Booty

This is just a little "heads up" and the following info's are taken at the official Granado Espada webpage....

STORY
Adelina Esperanza, famed Pirate of Granado Espada, has spent her time on the new continent building a reputation,
a successful weapon shop, a hunger for revenge, and an enormous cache of items.

Though ruthless, Adelina is a woman of honor. While she searches to find those who betrayed her, she hides her treasures where they can only be found by worthy adventurers.
Are you worthy? Try your luck with free plays of the ‘Searching for Adelina’s Booty’ online flash game, and you could instantly walk away with some of the best and rarest items in Granado Espada.
Earn a ‘Search License’ from Adelina by adding G-points to your Granado Espada account, then use it to search her various treasure troves for access to her booty.
Adelina has hidden these items to keep them from falling into the wrong hands. You have a chance to prove your worth, and add her most precious booty to your inventory.

for more information click here

Am not a fan of Adelina but I like using her in my family squad, and for me this is finally something to look forward to.

************
Btw I want to greet everyone Happy Chinese New Year or Kung Hei Fat Choi!!!

************

For my first anime review er... whatever it is... (as promised ^_~) Here is some info on Zero no Tsukaima...

"Meet Louise (center pink haired girl), a budding magician. The students at the Tristein Academy call her "Zero Louise", due to her current record of zero successes with magic. In fact, her magic tends to go spectacularly wrong. Now, as an important test of her aptitude for magic, she must summon a familiar to be her servant. At this critical moment, she summons up all her magic and wishes for a familiar that is "devoted, beautiful and powerful", and gets... Hiraga Saito (boy below Louise wielding a sword), an ordinary Japanese boy. It's difficult to say who is more surprised and dismayed, but the rules don't allow for second attempts. Louise is stuck with her strange familiar, and he with her."
This one is classified as a comedy, adventure, magical girl and romance genre..
It already has 2 seasons released and a third season in the making... I would say that it is worth the watch... btw Zero no Tsukaima means Zero's Familiar...
the second season is called zero no tsukaima: futatsuki no kishi..
The first season starts with mild perversions and a cute story, then the second season continues with more perversion of Saito and more rivalry
I'll leave most of the story for you to watch.. XD
the only question remaining for me now is will Saito return to his own time or will he stay forever with Louise?

More to come next time ^^

Colony Wars and the Snowfield

2008-02-03T17:07:00.000-08:00

Last look on the world map before it gets cleaned for the Chinese New Year and it will be up for grabs again in the next colony wars....

***************

The Snowfield of the Ice Wizard

With CARNAGE member Kulangot's kind assistance, we were able to visit the Snowfield... and it was really hard walking all the way there.... specially at the Ferrucio Wall where those annoying grim reapers constantly bothering us while running for it
running away till we reach the safety at the Katovic Snowfield where Kulangot's team of Cathy zaidos are stationed was like running in an olympic race... lol..
btw I called Kulangot's Catherine summoner team zaidos because they were named... Blue, Green and Orange

***************

I would also like to take this opportunity to call upon the mighty... er pioneer members of CARNAGE to please confirm their return to CARNAGE faction... if it would be possible please leave a comment or tag message at my chatbox... thanks peeps :P

Also I would like to thank the following persons/family:

Arcleaumont
Kulangot
Overseer

Thank you very much guys

CARNAGE recruiting & Idge's +8 Enhancement Challenge

2008-02-01T17:13:00.000-08:00

The Year of 2008 is significant in the Chinese New Year Calendar. This is because the number “8” in Chinese sounds similar to another Chinese word which means "prosper" or "wealth" . (taken from G.E. official website)

Chinese New Year is coming and so is the new rnpc Feng Ling

More Info on Idge's challenge here

I wanted to join this contest but sadly I do not have enough resources for now...

****************

CARNAGE is recruiting its pioneer members as well as expert level players who wants to join... Currently most of the said members are either on penalty or missing in action... but hopefully by next week or so we can be together again
Let's make history again... as said by someone I don't know who but this was what Overseer told me... "Lets make history again sabi ng mga munggo... We will draw a line again... war is coming... away away ule"
Well folks its time to train again or AFK again for that matter

***************
Random Fun

Just a while ago while AFK'ing my "little" sisters, someone was looting all my loots while am gone he's got guts I might say... and he only has a family lvl of 2 which takes any monster in that area to hit him twice and he goes flying.... but then again he pm'ed me and said... "Thank you for letting me pick your loots I appreciated it... thanks".. well even if its annoying I just let him do so.... anyways Am AFK so it doesn't matter and its my way of helping players who are at a low level or beginners... it doesn't matter if he's pretending or not.... As said in the movie Evan Almighty, in order for someone who wants to change the world.. all he/she has to do is a simple ARK.... "Act of Random Kindness"

*************

Btw I just want to share this thought of mine... this are the rules I follow when playing online games:

1) The Boss is always right.. lol
2) If the Boss is wrong see rule no. 1....
3) This game is only a GAME......
4) Save the drama for your mama....

Also in my future blog updates/ post Am gonna include a review/ synopsis or whatever its called... on anime's which I think is fun to watch.. so watch out for it....

to be continued.....

A Pleasant Surprise

2008-01-31T17:21:00.000-08:00

Return of the Comeback and the long Abscence

2008-01-28T18:24:00.000-08:00

Tonight its been a year... we met each other here... Here I am all alone.. as thoughts of you go on... Hear me cryin' out to you.... oops sorry got carried away by The Jets song "Make it Real" while am typing this >.< Anyways been busy over the past months with work and I was unable to really log in to play or just AFK (even on holidays). So it was really shocking for me to learn that it was almost like I've been away at Granado Espada for like a decade!! lol. So much has change. Lately I was able to at least play for a couple of hours or days sometimes, and here's what happened to my "older sisters".

Well as you can see they are still on vacation, hopefully waiting for the time that they will be once again called to arms.... lol... Recently I've been trying to train their "little sisters". I won't be affiliating myself to any Factions nor Organization for the time being, as I've decided to wander around some more.. lol (Relics of the past >.<.. lol)
*********
Anyways to liven up this blog a bit I wanna make a short Lesson 101 on one of my fave basic character of Granado Espada...
That is the musketeer....

Musketeer, according to wikipedia is an early type of infantry soldier equipped with a musket. A musket is a muzzle-loaded, smoothbore long gun which is intended to be fired from the shoulder. Btw the 0.75 calibre Land Pattern Musket is also called Brown Bess...

now the stance:

The Standing shot (from G.E)

The most basic stance a musketeer assumes, though on military companies there is a so called "order of firing"... the problem with muskets is that its hard to reload >.<

The Kneeling shot

This stance is originally applied by the Ottoman Turks historically, the musketeer has a greater hold of the musket and therefore can fire accurately, the problem with this one is that you can't move much and so when a melee combatant comes near them.. its lights out >.<

To be continued.......

What an unusual day it was.....

e-Games Evolution Roadshow

The Block, SM North Edsa Activity Center....
I wanted to check out this event as well as do a little errand and so...
I arrived at exactly 11am just to find out that there was already a long line and crowd just for the registration O_O
Here's the Granado Espada booth right in front of the registration desk:

Information desk.. "Warning no Eating and Drinking inside the premises" O_O

There were a lot of booths for e-games' games and even tournaments for those who are interested to join... The background music occassionally plays Granado Espada musics such as Granado Espada theme, Barracks mode, Violin of Death etc...
I've even heard some people saying.. "oohh thats the game I want to try/play next... that Granado Espada..." XD

Tournament details Liberty's Wrath 5on5 PVP match (one of the events)

Cosplay

hhhmm I see 2 Uchiha clan members from Naruto series and Kazuki of strings from Get Backers :P

Carnage Retains 5 Colonies

2007-08-13T04:54:00.000-07:00

This is the first time am gonna try and write a very very short story / comment. I am not as proficient as DeSanggria, Ninemoons nor Esthesia / Veya in making a cover story, so please bear with me and forgive my shortcomings >.<
So here we go:

Last Colony Wars (August 12, 2007), Carnage faction successfully defended / retained 5 colonies but lost the colony at Rion Prairie to Yakisoba faction.

It was a first for me to experience seeing lots of in game messages (faction chat) about colony this / that being attacked and squad commanders flooding the chat channel with different orders...
For me, I guess defending multiple colonies is the hardest task , constantly switching from channel to channel, colony to colony and running away from unfriendlies. I've experienced facing lvl 100 families a lot (of course trying my best to dodge / run from them >.< ) with no ally / comrade in sight or they too are busy fending for themselves, warping in the middle of unfriendly factions and seeing my powerpuff girls being bombarded with lots of area effect skills. ( Its like seeing thousands of arrows / projectiles come raining at me and all I've got is a dress and a spoon and fork >.< )
One thing that I am capable of doing is being an able field medic (resuscitation) as well as an added beacon breaker. Though I admit that I possess no talent at being able to defend or be an offensive family member, I compensate by dodging enemy fire to come and revive a fallen friend. I've even spent a lot buying resurrecting potions instead of ammos.
Though despite the hardships ( if it was >.< ), I enjoyed every Colony War to fight alongside your faction mates, allies and friends. I am glad that I was given a chance to don the faction name CARNAGE attached to my powerpuff girls' family name. Thanks a lot to all ^_^

phew.. finally done >.<

Carnage Now with 6 Colonies ^_^

2007-08-05T07:12:00.000-07:00

Today August 5, 2007 Carnage took 2 more colonies in addition to its 4 colonies last Colony Wars!!!! All Carnage members now gains 45% max hp bonus ^_^
Congrats Carnage!!!
Congratulations to Dominion for taking 5 colonies ^^ nice going guys ^^
Congratulations again to both of us ^_~

My Lvl 73 family:

Thanks to the X2 exp.. I managed to get my team to at least lvl 73 :P
