Project: A 101 Wishes for the New Year

3...2...1... Blastoff! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hahas so its going to be a NEW YEAR soon, in about 1 day and 7 hours ^^

To commemorate the start of 2009, I have decided to organise a project, entitled "Project: A 101 Wishes for the New Year".

Basically, all you (as a guildmember, but others are welcome too) got to do is to submit your wishes for 2009. It can be ANYTHING you want, but nothing offensive, vulgar, racist, demeaning, insulting, or promoting harmful content in any way. Wishes with such content inside will be not allowed onto the list and will be deleted from the tagboard / Guild BBS immediately.

You can submit your wish / wishes on the tagboard, or in Guild BBS. It has come to my attention that the Guild BBS is limited, and only allows 20 replies to any one given post. So feel free to create more posts to write your wishes down! ^^

And it doesn't have to be only about Maple! It can be about real life too, for example:

I wish I had a can of tuna which does not require a can opener to open.

Simple eh? And, whats more, you can choose to either leave your IGN / Name, or remain anonymous :D

Cheers, and MSNoobSterZ wishes you, our reader, an early HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D


:: EDIT ON 2 JANUARY, 2009: It seems that it isn't possible to get 101 wishes for the New Year, so I have decided to extend it to the 17 January 2009, one day before Guild Birthday.

Please, we need MORE wishes in order to make 101. (Hahas actually at first I wanted to put 2009, to make it seem more New-Yearish, but it seems we can't even make 101... D:

So I decided to put no limit to the NUMBER of wishes. I'll just put the ones that were submitted, is everyone ok with that? Haha silence means consent. :D ::

Clearing some doubts

Ahem. Lols.

Just to clear some queries and doubts, I have decided to leave another post.

Firstly, OUR GUILD DOES NOT HAVE ANY FEE REQUIRED TO JOIN. We DO NOT charge members an admission fee.

A guild costs money to run yes, so donations are encouraged to keep us running.

Secondly (and this has been raised MANY times, so I am clarifying here), the rank of Jr Master is NOT BASED ON LEVEL. While it appears that all of the Jrs are high levels, you must bear in mind that they have been in guild for a very long time.

To be a Jr Master:
1. Must gain GuildMaster's trust.
2. Be an exemplary role model to the guild, and set a good example for our guildmembers, following our rules.
3. Been in the guild for a reasonable amount of time (Come on, you can't expect me to promote you to Jr within 1 day of joining this guild, can you?)
4. Considerate and willing to help others. Also, although a spirit of self-improvement and determination is not mandatory, a Jr is strongly encouraged to possess those traits(:
5. Fulfill the above criteria. Lol.

In the case this is a repeat post, (if this was posted in the BBS before) the post which has more criteria will overwrite the post(s) with less criteria. Haha! XD

Hope that helps; cheers! :D

Guild PQ

Yay Guild PQ!

okok who wants to go? Please indicate either on the tagboard or on Guild BBS if you are interested. Thanks(:

If you are interested, please let me tell you honestly that YOU MAY DIE. I will not be held liable for any losses, because I am warning you now.

The boss is lv 110, and few of us have experience in GPQ. I expect it to be more of a TRIAL AND ERROR kind of thing.

The best is to come with either a) 0% exp or b) not minding to die or c) lucky charm (but 1k acash!)

NOTE: WE HAVE NO CHIEF BANDIT. I KNOW. and we need somebody BELOW LV 30.(:

If you do not want to come, it is FINE by me. I'm not forcing you to come(:

P.S. Who else gets that annoying pop-up? The advertisement one? PLEASE DO NOT CLICK. I do not know what is in there.

Letters to my 1st GuildMaster

To my first GuildMaster,

Greetings, and a belated Merry Christmas and early Happy New Year to you, too. One year has passed, and so much has changed.

I must admit that I was extremely angry and upset - Angry and upset at YOU - when you kicked me out of my first guild, whose name I shall not disclose here. But "was", as I have just stated, is a matter of the past, for now I no longer feel anger or upset whenever your guildname or our name appears; the latter had taught me one of the most important and life-changing principles in running a good guild.

Being one of the lowest levels in your guild was not the only reason why I was so quiet - so subdued - but also the fact that you appeared to speak to everyone but me. Maybe, just maybe, if I had been invited by YOU, maybe things may be much different.

But I believe I was invited purely through a simple mistake - one which caused everyone, if I remember rightly, to be Jr Masters. Perhaps it was also my low level of participation in guild. In the end I did level fast enough (the criteria for the lowest ranked member, the BBS said, was level 40, if I remember correctly), but surprise awaited me when I logged in one day and discovered that I had been kicked out, probably by YOU.

(Note that this is based on assumption, and it may not be entirely true that it was YOU who kicked me out. But even if it is not you, it still taught me a valuable lesson. Kudos to the person who kicked me out! :D [To my readers out there, if you are wondering "why is this silly girl so happy she got kicked out of guild??", then please, read on, and discover the reason behind it])

I was infuriated and very mad at you. I was a rather loyal (self-proclaimed) but quiet member of guild, and I leveled quite decently. What gave you the right to kick me? I believed, at that moment, that I had met the criteria.

It was not until half a year later and a few incidents did I change my mind.

I am now a GuildMaster of another guild (and I am very very happy with all of you members! :D), and about 3 months ago, I kicked 2 members out of guild. They were not rude or anything, nor did they break any rules. It was just that I felt that they were not participating enough.

One of them did complain and called me noob, but I suppose that was something all GuildMasters have to face sooner or later.

Only then did it all link together. I know why you kicked me out of guild. It was for exactly the same reason why you kicked me. You felt that I had not enough participation in guild.

Being a GuildMaster is not always about being complimented; it also includes receiving negative feedback. Things can get nasty, but, for the good and for the improvement of the guild, sometimes, what has to be done has to be done.

My respect for you has increased, and I know now, that you kicked me out of guild with good intentions in mind.

Many thanks to you, Megacan, for teaching me an important lesson in guild.

P.S. If you are reading this now, I will like to say a big THANK YOU! for inviting me in guild last time. Ohya I will like to say this to you too:

GRAHH YOU DAO ME THAT DAY!

I saw you in Henesys, and I PM-ed you. Then you never reply de.

To you: hello
To you: do you rmb me?(:



Lols maybe you do not remember me le. (Of course you don't!)

Well, just want to say...

To you: anyways, thanks..for letting [me] be in your guild last time..byes



Thanks for the memories(:

Merry Christmas Special Post!

So on the night of Christmas, our special investigator and reporter for this Christmas' special post set off to the Mapler town of Happyville.

Her mission was simple. To find... Mrs Santa Claus. This elusive character is very unlike her jolly husband, whom we all know, is Mr Santa Claus.

Here is the actual mission. In our reporter's own words:

"I started off by surveying the townscape, and pressing down the "UP" key and whacking everything I see. I finally spot two snowmen sitting around a campfire. The smell of marshmallows drew me near them -- wait! That smell is the smell of MY marshmallows, coming from MY bag!

I went up to the 2 snowmen, and decided to ask them for directions. They refused to talk. Grr. So I decided to bribe them.

Me bribing the snowmen.



But they still refused to talk. Hmph. So I decided it was not worth my time talking to them, and went to 3 reindeers nearby instead.

One had a pirate look to it. Another wore those hypnotic glasses. The last, I decided, was the most normal of them all, and I went up to it, eager to get out of it a clue to where Mrs Santa Claus was.

Me bribing the reindeer.



But, NO, it refused to talk too. Undeterred, I made my way up to a house, where a camera tripod stand stood. An idea came to my mind. Occasionally Santa Claus would fly past that area with a reindeer in tow. Or rather, the reindeer tows HIM, in this case. So I decided that if I could get a picture of him "hang gliding", maybe I could get him to autograph it and I can show it to ALL my friends and tell them that I met Santa Claus in person. maybe somehow I could use it to get information out of him.

Me taking his picture.



But he just went past me. D: Without any autograph :(

So I resorted to ... tracking her.



But it didn't work D:



Finally I went to the Internet, and did a search on where she could be. I went to the location they told me to, and ... VOILA! She was there. (Oh, why didn't I do this sooner!)"

And while our reporter expresses much regret over the 1000 mesos she spent on bribing the snowmen and reindeers, and her complete overlooking of the use of the Internet, we however, have managed to come up with this post.

Yay technology! ^^

Merry Christmas everyone~ :D
