    I stopped taking pics after this, a hacker was inside… we didn’t finish. We stopped at 50% third body and bailed.

    Having just passed ToshioXD, I am now the 5th highest legit priest on Broa. Elunei, Dem0n5, Cure3 and Daracon are the only ones left.

    I’m really too lazy to write anything, however… if you want to read a long rant, look no further than here. It was written last year but I’d prefer that if you were to comment, to do so here.

  • I think it’s obvious people would rather see pictures than read my mindless ramblings… so I’m going to cave in.

    Ray (2pro2die) and myself have gotten 80 levels since we last saw him… he got 11?

    Maple0200
    Confirmation that Ray is gay.

    Maple0203
    Pair of cheaters, what else is new.

    Maple0208
    Even I’m star-struck…

    Maple0212
    Hmmm, when a fellow high level person questions whether I sleep or not…. is that a sign?

    Maple0213
    Oopsie!

    Maple0217
    I’M AN ADORING FAN!

    Maple0220
    Found Nemo and turned him into sushi.

    Maple0221
    Sorry to toot my own horn…

    Maple0223
    Maybe I should let someone else do it for me?

    Maple0226
    Yeah, yeah… I know my ass is strong.

    Maple0227
    He’s got 2b mesos folks, so… all you kanye west listenin’ gold diggin’ girls go after him (it’s Diton’s sin)

    Maple0230
    Pop and I, bored.

    Maple0231
    That’s using the ol’ noodle.

    Maple0232
    Everyone should become a vegan!

    Overkill for papu….

    Maple0234
    Ugliest mapler of the new era?

    Maple0235
    Sure I could’ve told him ‘shut up’ to his face… or I could announce it to the whole server for those without a voice.

    Maple0237
    Grief… probably the only time you’ll see him this weak.

    Let me go on a limb here, when I first began Broa – it was wonderful. The assholes were still there but for the most part, the community was still decent and cheaters were fairly scarce. It was a lot of fun not being fueled to grind hours on end since there was nothing to look forward to (no third jobs, no ludi, etc). It was an incredible time, filled with limitless energy for exploration along with the exhilaration of danger. The obvious danger that everyone talked about: more assholes KSing you, people retiring and moving on and possible rollbacks. But there was another danger lurking in the shadows that no one spoke of and quite frankly missed: cheaters. I’m not saying that the Broa today cannot be fun or filled with similiar relationships but we need to be clear about where we stand with cheaters.

    Quote myself:
    We have tried being civil with hackers. We have tried bribing hackers. What happens? they press on, taking over our maps and we fall back. Now all around me people are beginning to excuse it, justifying that if the person behind the character has a nice personality then they’ll turn a blind eye (e.g. buddying them, partying them, etc). Well, it’s inexcusable to me. How many times do they have to ruin some portion of maple (maps, economy, etc) before it becomes wrong? once? ten times? a hundred times? constantly? how many times before it becomes wrong?

    Diplomacy is dead. I won’t compromise any more.


    I still feel the same way and I’m not apologizing for what I wrote, however… I don’t think such a small paragraph conveyed the scope of what I meant. Well, now I’m finding myself questioning whether it’s worth spending the energy to change something I had no control over to begin with. For the non-maple story players… I suppose it’s akin to staying in a bad relationship. It doesn’t make much sense does it?

    At what point do you let go… or hold onto and attempt to repair?

  • I want to discuss something different this entry, like most of the garbage I write, it is unrelated to anything I’ve posted previously. On a clear Tuesday morning at 11:10 AM on April 20th, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold arrived at Columbine High School with improvised explosive devices and several firearms. I don’t want to go over the details of the massacre, body count, etc. that stuff you can do on your own. However, this event was brought up for a specific reason which I’ll get to – you impatient prick. We are finding ourselves in increasingly more vulnerable and dangerous times, completely unaware of when and where the hazards are at each turn of the corner. Sometimes it’s simply overwhelming how much threat is out there, especially with heightened awareness after the coordinated terrorist attacks of September 11 (9.11.2001).

    Directly following those attacks, important hubs such as Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal had National Guards stationed with assault rifles. This air of caution was frowned upon by many New Yorkers and even in the face of such serious tones, many decried the National Guards holding such extreme firearms. A year later, no one openly condemned the National Guards there… who carried no firearms and only possessed walkie talkies. Perhaps the sophistication inherent in the commuters there and being reminded that there are those who want to do us harm was just too much to bear. Now, onto my point…

    Our enemies carry guns. They have access to bombs, which they conceal and will not hesitate to use. Now, why on earth are our enemies armed to the teeth, while we disapprove of arming those who help defend us and give us a fighting chance? A handheld radio unfortunately will not subdue or hinder our enemies from harming us. We’re taking weapons from our defenders, for what reason… because it’s unsightly? give me a break. How do we cope with unexpected challenges under prepared.

    There is no type of child, no profile, that would fit the description of a student that shoots up his school. This uncertaintly must be unsettling to parents who send their children to what they think is a safe environment to get an education. Unfortunately, though I’m not entirely sure, I’ll bet we can’t sweep/pat down every child, search every bag, etc. because of civil liberties (I’d assume). So, maybe we can institute some kind of voluntary program where a teacher can be armed, anonymously, if they so choose. This way, at least your child will have a chance at survival. The problem I see with this is, how are we to know if those teachers are mentally healthy, sane, etc. How do we arm children or teachers with a way to protect themselves against revealing last second enemies? This is one of many cascading errors, that compound on top of one another. Anyways, I’d like to know… is there a solution? what do you think?

    2nd job = bow. 3rd job = xbow. 4th job… looks like bow wasn’t such a bad choice afterall.

    Sorry, just another quick thought while I’m in the office.

  • Let’s have a quick entry without Maple.

    Evolution
    Evolution is simple, right? Natural selection, survival of the fittest, etc. (shit you ought to know by now). Throughout a long period of time, the double helix, four amino acids of dna, etc. mutate from parent to offspring. A defect could or would mean certain death and a successful mutation might mean the difference that allows you to survive and continue to serial fornicate to your little heart’s content. You can’t see the motion but you can infer that gradually over eons, bit by bit, with a ridiculous amount of imagination that these changes are not just from breeding but also from habitat influence. Alright, I’ll stop the unnecessarily long winded explanation because quite frankly, I’m at work and I’m starting to lose focus. My question is: Are we somehow retarding evolution? This might seem cold of me to say, but does helping the homeless, the mentally challenged people, the hopelessly incompetant and lazy, those stricken with AIDS (which might I add, has rapid evolution – whether by flaw or strategy, since it cannot replicate itself) or some other disease, etc…. bad for evolution? Are we saving evolutionary defects that mutated and were not destined to survive? Let’s face it, when you choose to date, marry, have kids with someone… you’re choosing the way you want your genes to survive, you can fabricate intricate lies to yourself and live shrouded under a veil of ignorance, but that’s what it is. Which brings me to my next point…

    Love
    At first sight? infatuation.
    Over time? forced compatibility.
    Actually, I’ll leave this one alone… I’m afraid to get beat up

    I lied.

    It’s been a while, hasn’t it. Carrie and Gau Yi are back from HK, apart from that I have nothing nice to say… so I won’t say anything at all.

    Maple0152
    The type of reaction I normally get… it’s annoying.

    Maple0155
    When I was kicked from XXXRavers… prior to joining Jjang.

    Maple0169
    The closest legits have ever gotten to beating zakum.

    Maple0174
    Nicole hits 100!

    Maple0182
    Yeah, I am ‘oh so sexy’… aren’t I

    Maple0183
    Another zakum attempt…

    Maple0184
    My inventory is full of elixers and power elixers…

    Smile! You’re on candid camera…

    A pack of cheaters, is what these two are. My last shot of being normal.

    Maple0147
    Wholesome family fun, I think not.

    Maple0148
    Someone who just couldn’t believe I’d be telling them the truth.

    Maple0149
    Am I a GM, the world…. may never know.

    Sooooooo, seigejet 12X priest is now active during early morning hours and azatic 3X sin is active late morning to afternoon.

  • Maple0137
    Grim parties actually make training fun… no seriously, I mean it.

    Maple0138
    We’re hiding…

    Maple0139
    Good grief… what’re you doing?

    Maple0140
    I don’t appreciate impersonators or people who tell me to buddy them.

    Maple0141
    I hate noobs too

    Maple0142
    AoJmage was in our party earlier, he’s a fire/poison mage.

    Maple0143
    Another Zakum run… another failure.

    Maple0144
    So… am I strong?

    Maple0145
    Scrolled this at 5a in the morning. Saw a cheap 10% glove att. in FM and said, what the hell -don’t be a pussy. After the 10% hit… well, it’s go big or go home. Bought four more glove att. scrolls and finished it off.

    I only hope that the 10% overall int. scrolls I’ll be getting will be as successful. End maple update.

  • Monday afternoon Zakum run.

    Maple0019
    Prior to summoning Zakum. Sorry to the priest they had to kick out of the altar so that I could join.

    Maple0023
    The top arms on the right side are such a pain in the ass.

    Maple0024
    I think at this point, I already switched parties once…

    Maple0025
    After about a ten minute break, since the top left arm is weak as hell, we resume trying to kick his ass.

    Maple0026
    People were dying and hanging around to watch… causing us to lag.

    Maple0027
    At this point, small amount of summons… nothing big.

    Maple0029
    Everyone can attack it now, yippie!

    Maple0030
    Damn physical barrier >.<

    Maple0031
    Pretty much the same thing going on here.

    Maple0032
    Barriers off, attack!!!

    Maple0036
    Probably my third or fourth party change inside the altar lol

    Maple0037
    Final party change… Kor and Soup died, then we bailed.

    Maple0038
    Maybe next time we’ll be wearing helms.


    lmao

  • ‘Crocodile Hunter’ Steve Irwin dead

    story irwin
    Stabbed in the chest by a stingray…

    That list I put up, is for the most part, as accurate as can possibly be. If you can approach all those legits and ask them to verify 100% that the person who was incorrectly labelled a hacker below, I will gladly change it. Guispecy from the guild Endless, made that list and he did so without any input from myself. In fact, I don’t even know him. He went around and asked people himself, so if you are certain that someone down below is legit… do what he did, ask every high level legit if that person is clean. No offense, but when you spend 40+ levels in the only high level training spot (generally over 6 hours at a time for most high level legits), you run into the same people day in and day out.
