We
Saw the power to change the future
In our dream

In the midst of the noise, I heard your cry
It exposed my weakness as I was laughing

The road that you go on is only known to you
So chase after a different sky

We desire the courage to face toward the future
So we get lost in the past
Until I return to the true present
Where you laugh

Thinking that I want to learn about you, for the first time
I was daunted by the distance between our hearts that cant come together

We understood that we couldnt understand each other, so with just that
Were starting

I want to embrace your tears, pains, and everything
But I feel that the more I run, the farther I become from you and I get worried
Where should I go?

In the midst of the noise, I hear your singing
Now I can see my form that Id lost

Please give me the power to change
The future that I wouldve gone through by myself
You laugh, and with just that
I can fly high

We desire the courage to connect hearts
So we get lost in love
Until I return to my true self
That laughs with you

How NOT to get scammed in online games.

Seriously, in my 4-5 years of online gaming i have seen countless scamming cases mainly in Maplestory and Global MU Online<== especially this NICE game that was ruined by K2 network [notwork?? or neverwork??]and also some of the cunning scammers and moronic victims in the gaming community. The morons that got scammed will post in the game forums crying and complaining (aka QQ as in PWI) as if their scammed items will come back if they do that. This make me feel kind of irritated as the victims keep falling into the same few pranks... i wonder where their brains have gone to...

In this post.. i will talk about different kinds of scamming cases and how to prevent you from falling into their trap. With examples!

1. Imposer
Some scammers like to pretend that they are someone you know or people with authority. Most of the time they will pretend to be your friends or gamemaster , and ask you for your password or items.

'FRIENDS'
Scammer who tries to pretend to be your friends will use other char to ask you to guess who is him. And you will always guess correctly in 1 or 2 tries even you have like 100+ friends playing the game. Why does scammer wants to ask you this question? The reason is simple. Psychologically, the people that come to your mind is always the one you trust most! By asking this question, the scammer will gain trust from you and this will help him to continue their evil plan. After he has gained your trust, he will chit chat with you for some time before they start to ask you for your items (most of the time). This is to prevent you to get suspicious. for example:

Scamming method A
Scammer: Hey you there?<= using whisper mode most of the time
Victim: yup
Scammer: Guess who am i:D
Victim: *types his friend nick*
Scammer: Damn, you are good! Btw, how are you today?
Victim: Ya i am great! You?
Scammer: i am great too haha! What lvl are you now?
Victim: *writes lvl*
Scammer: wow thats fast! Whats is the option of your set?
Vicitm: *writes the set option*
Scammer: Cool!! how much is it? Looks ex to me.
Victim: * writes down how much he paid* or nah i make it my own ^^
Scammer: Wow! is it useful? Can i borrow your set and try on a boss mob?

Scamming method B
Scammer: Hey you there? <= using whisper mode most of the time
Victim: yup Scammer: Guess who am i:D
Victim: *types his friend nick*
Scammer: Damn, you are good! Btw,can you lend me your set? i wanna try on a boss mob=O

Which sounds more convincing? Most of the time, the victim will fall for method A. What to do if you encounter this? To make sure this guy is your friend, tell him u are not going to lend him anything unless he can go into his main char<= meaning, your friend's char. However, it does not work against hacker turn scammer. For the best, you should ask him to give u a call. The scammer who tries this method is likely to know you or your friend. This means that you might have met him in game before or maybe he is in your guild or friendlist. '

GAMEMASTERS'
Scammers that wanna pretend to be gamemasters (GM) do 2 things.

The first one is similar to the 'Friends' method. Instead of asking you to who is him(erm may be he will do that too), he will tell you that he is GM and say you have won some shit contest or prize or whatever shit he can think of. Then he will want you to tell him or send your id and pass to him so he can add the prize into your inventory. Sometimes, he will also say that there is some error with the database in their side and they need your id and pass to set some shit up so your account will be saved.

The second one is you receive an email(and when u look closely, the sender's email ends with @hotmail, gmail, yahoo or some public emails provider and maybe some strange address that is 1 or 2 letters different from the offical game email) or a letter in game. For the letter part, the scammer will create a mute char with a name similar to a GM nick. Content wise, it is the same as above. The victims who fall for that can be consider as downright stupid. How can u get won something that you have never participated before? If you have won anything, the GM can add items into your inventory without asking your id and password. It is in their database! If there is really a problem with their database that all id and password are gone by whatever reason, they will post something on the offical website or forum or in game, and not to whisper or send u a email (using unfamiliar email address) or so. For now i have never seen any game provider failed sooooo badly (private server not included). If you got this kind of shit, you can reply them using fake id and pass to play with them. for example:

id:hello
pass: ujusgotfucked

id:heyscammer
pass:urbusted

id:fuckyou
pass:yourfucked <== if i am not wrong, someone did use this before^^

2.Friend/guildmate turns scammer
This is where scammers bring scamming to the next level...
The can be your best best best BEST online friend, but they just wanna scam your items. This plan can takes a month to a year. This is how they scam. First they will be your friend. He will help you whenever you get into trouble eg. Got ks, pk. He will be very very friendly to everyone, not only you. He can be like an angel in guild. After he thinks he got your trust or even ur guild trust, he will start asking you to lend him items for his char or new char and he promises he will return them as fast as possible.

However the promise never comes true. The moment he got what he wants, he quits guild=). You will never see him as well as your items again. Meanwhile, he will be playing new char or using some service provided by some DUMBASS game provider, to change his nick so that he can then again be your friend or get into the guild once more to scam. Even if you saw him again and complains him being a scammer, his friends (aka soon to be victims) will help me by saying he is too good to do that, or asking you if you have any evidence that he is a scammer. Even you have evidence (eg videos during trade) to prove that he is a scammer, his 'friends' will talk shit convince people that your evidence is fake. How to avoid this kind of scammer? Easy. Just never ever lend people your stuffs unless he is your classmates, real life friend. Why? so if they really scammed you, you are still able to meet him in real life and punch the hell out of them XD

3.Trader
There are basically 2 types of spammer in this section, namely trade hacker and trade spammer.

‘TRADE HACKER’
This is a spammer who use hacks to scam people, normally shadow hack. Shadow hack works by making a copy aka shadow of the item during trade, done by some hacking programme. First the scammer will tell you to trade him and he will put the item in the trade inventory. The moment you put your items in your trade inventory, he cancel trade. This is to create a 'shadow'. He will then ask you to invite trade. You will see the item in the trade inventory the moment he click accept the invitation to trade. Normally you won’t see any item in the inventory until he puts it in. And if you put in your items and click ok, you just got PWNED! You won’t see your traded item in your inventory. How to prevent this? Taken from Global MU online, when someone invite you to trade, always ask them to move the item in the inventory shadow items are non-movable. Even he did the first time and then accidentally cancels trade; tell him to move the items again. To summarise, just make sure he move the items at least once during each trade. The video below shows low shadow hack works. Well, that scammer got busted...well you will know^^



‘TRADE SCAMMER’
This is a scammer that won’t use hack to scam people. During trade, he will put the items in the trade inventory. However he will cancel the trade when either you or him invite trade again. This time, he will put a similar item, but with different option in to the trade. He might or might not rush you to accept trade as he gotta go. This is to make you listen to him and click OK. The moment you press the OK key, you just got scammed. In order to prevent you items get scammed, check if it is the correct item before you press the OK button.


Lazy to read the above essay-like guide and still wanna prevent you from getting scammed? Just read the sentence below=)

NEVER EVER tell somebody your id and password or lend ANYBODY your items (NOT EVEN JESUS!!), and also DOUBLE check during each trade!!

(1596 words) <= LOL

Thats all for now, anyone who found new scamming techniques can post on the comment section and i will add them in. Not only that, if u have busted a scammer, link your ss to me using imageshacks or photobucket and i will post them as well=)

What if Zhu Xian is going to be made in to a drama series? Who should be the actors/ actress? =O

As the title has stated, WHO SHOULD BE THE ACTORS/ACTRESS ???
The description of the chars are taken from the novel, manga, video and my own imagination ^^

Zhang Xiao Fan
According to the book, he appears between 16-26 years old.
At 16, he should have his hair tied up as like a tao people

Recomended actors: Huang Xiao Ming (Return of the Condor Heroes)
Hu Ge (Xian Jian Qi Sia Zhuan)

Huang Xiao Ming ok he looks a bit tooo old here...

Hu Ge (hands down to him!)

From here, Hu Ge looks better=p

When Zhang Xiao Fan is 26, no one will make a better actor other than Huang Xiao Ming!!
This is epic!! Look at the similarities!! ok may be he should be fairer a bit;p... bu then again... may be not!




Hu Ge is not bad too btw^^


Tian Ling Er

Not sure yet, i need to look the manga for pictures if her when she grows up.

Lu Xue Qi


That girl beside Hu Ge can be her, if she remains emotionless when wears a white dress=D

Xiao HuanThats her!! haha!

I will stop for now, till i found more pictures!

誅仙 aka Zhu Xian aka Celestial Destroyer

A few weeks ago i started playing Zhu Xian (zx) online Malaysia server, and i know the game is based on a chinese novel call Zhu Xian. I was like ' Why not go read the book since i know where to read it online'. So i start reading it... and then i am hooked to this novel!

Summary of the summary of the novel (lol):
Our main char, Zhang Xiao Fan and his friend fan lost his entire family during a massacre and were taken to Green Cloud Sect as disciple. After some years later he met the girl of his dream, Bi Yao. However, Bi Yao is the daughter of the head of GhostLord (Ghostking) sect which is consider an enermy of Green Cloud Sect and the story goes on.... (i know i sux at writting summary)

ok heres the chinese verson of the summary taken from zhu xian manga (yes, manga). it says...
故事简介 一个平凡的村庄少年张小凡,因为草庙村的一场大屠杀而变成孤儿。后因青云门的收留 , 而成为大竹峰首座田不易的弟子,由此踏上修真之路。在青云山上,张小凡邂逅了师姐田灵儿与陆雪琪。后更在空桑山"万蝠古窟"的除妖行动中遇上了他一生中最重要的女人,鬼王宗宗主的女儿,碧瑶...

If you know how to read chinese words, you are able to read this novel as it does not use complicated chinese.. there fore the standard for you to be able to understand the novel is to pass chinese O lvls.

Are You A Mapletard/Cabaltard? (South East Asia context)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I can't believe I am back to Maplestory. Since I am here, I as thinking why not I make a test to see if you are Mapletard? (I know its kind of late to make this test though ^^) You might wonder why the heading is 'Are You A Mapletard/Cabaltard' instead of mapletard alone. This is because a cabaltard has many similarities as a mapletard. You will know why after u have read the definitions of mapletard, and cabaltard and also some of my additional information.

Mapletard also known as Maple-retard.
"A word mainly used in Singapore and Malaysia, made up of the words 'Maple' and 'Retard', to show someone who plays MapleStory to such a great extent that he feels that the whole game is his life, and thus threatens people in other games to 'COME MAPLE LA! WE PLAY KS WAR LA CB' and that sort of thing.

Mapletards also tend to stay in groups, so, when you see one Mapletard, it is likely that there are more nearby, and they will ALWAYS stand up for one another, since they like to attack en-masse, because their collective brain power is roughly equivalent to that of a cow. Which is impressive, compared to their own brain power, which can be compared to that of a prawn.

It should also be said that if you do happen to encounter a Mapletard, it is important to either kill him, or otherwise dispose of him, since he will attack you for no reason, and will then proceed to KS (Kill Steal) you and start insulting your whole family, e.g, "NB COME LA! WAN FIGHT IS IT! I CALL MY GUILD COME! NB MTF CB! GO SUCK YOUR FATHER COCK LA!" This is just a sentence from a minor Mapletard. The hardcore Mapletards are much worse."

Taken From Urban Dictionary :http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mapletard
(1/1/09)

Additional information of a mapletard which the dictonary lacks is that most mapletard love to express their emotion in the form of F1 to F7 instead of words or icons eg. -_- or >_<

Now for Cabaltards

"A word mainly used in Singapore and Malaysia, made up of the words 'Cabal' and 'Retard', to show someone who plays CabalSEA to such a great extent that he/she feels that the whole game is his/her life, and thus flames people who played Maplestory or similar versions.

Cabaltards also tend to stay in groups, so, when you see one Cabaltard, it is likely that there are more nearby, and they will ALWAYS stand up for one another, since they like to attack en-masse, because their collective brain power is roughly equivalent to that of an african bull. Which is impressive, compared to their own brain power, which can be compared to that of a peanut.

It should also be said that if you do happen to encounter a Cabaltard, it is important to either stay away from him/her, or otherwise dispose of him, since he will attack you for no reason, and will then proceed to disturb your training by attacking the mobs which you are training on and start insulting your whole family, e.g, "NB COME LA! WAN FIGHT IS IT! I CALL MY GUILD COME! NB MTF CB! GO SUCK YOUR FATHER COCK LA!" This is just a sentence from a minor Cabaltard.

The hardcore Cabaltards are much worse; they claimed that they are from the outerspace of what kuku Jedi Order to serve peace & harmony by flaming people in forums and yet claimed they are not wrong in any way.

They like to use impressive english to challenge people and their mastermind with blur cock face always uses Bleach main lead IGN as their forum IGN and writes his essays in purple font. When a person ask the mastermind of kuku Jedi Order a small question, he would reply with an essay as though he wants to fight for the leadership of the Government. And when he lost the debation or his flaming spark isn't working, he will hide to unknown locations as though Mas Selamat till things goes back to usual then he will appear and be cocky in forums again! The leader is also well-known for carrying the forum admin's balls and play pussy actions purring for innocence."

Taken from Urban Dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cabaltard
(1/1/09)

The reason that I striked off some parts is because we can clearly see that the author is against a particuar player/guild. However, I cannot deny that the person that the author is hinting about is a cabaltard.

An additional information of cabaltards is that they love to duel with other players and they think that the other player must accept the duel invitation. If the another player reject the duel, they will start to call the player a pimp. Cabaltards also love to 'help the GMs in spotting botters' by asking ALL the players in training fields 'are you there', 'ans please'. If a player did not answer them, they will start ks the mobs that the player is hitting and spamming 'botter'. If he is in a pvp server, the cabaltard will pk that player even he is not botting.

The above are how mapletards/cabaltards react in game or forum. There are also symtoms of ' retardness' in the daily life which will tell us whether you are a tard or not. Therefore, try my test and see how close are you to be a -tard!!

To do the quest, you just have to choose the answer that suits you the most and then add the number beside each answer.

Lastly.. BE HONEST TO YOURSELF!!
