The One About Sun Tzu's Art Of PVP War

We all know how God-like Sun Tzu is in his art of war. But Sun Tzu obviously never played GE if not he would have learnt a thing or two about PvP war from the boys in Yakisoba Faction. As you guys know, I’m on an ‘Industrial Attachment’ program and Yakisoba Faction was the first faction who had invited me to join them during the CBT period. I must say there has never been a dull moment in the mama-drama ‘Days of our Faction Lives’! These boys are go-getting, hardcore players out on a rampage of death and destruction! Still, it has been extremely entertaining and faction chat is never-ending.

So anyway, it was the night before CBT ended and the leader of the [Scarlet Rose Faction], Lestat, broadcast a message across the world, inviting everyone to join in a mass PVP war. As we were all making our way down to the PVP officer at City of Auch, faction chat went something like that:

Yakisoba Faction Boy 1: Eh Hrin! Hrin! You must take part in the 15v15 PVP tourney!
Hrin: Yeah sure :) What's the strategy guys? My MCC combination is Wiz/Scout/Elementalist. I have master level in...
Yakisoba Faction Boy 2: Oh don't worry your pretty head with that! We just need you to be our mascot!
Hrin: -.-" Right... And what exactly am I supposed to do?
Yakisoba Faction Boy 1: Just stand at the side to distract the enemy! Make sure you wear your French maid costume! And don't forget to levitate so that the enemy can get a GREAT view from below!
Yakisoba Faction Boy 2:
Yeah! Your levitation combined with French maid costume will OWN both Retardi and Sandman!

I stare at them in amused incredulity as they go into a blow-by-blow account of all the various ways they could use me as a 'pleasant distraction' to the enemy. GE players trying to pimp out their CM (Community Manager)?! Alas! What has the World of Granado Espada come to? I should pen a letter to the Queen of Vespanola voicing my grievances about this. I can almost see the headlines in tomorrow's 'Vespanolan Times' newspaper...

Vespanolan Times: Queen Banishes Yakisoba Faction Boys To Al Quelt Moreza!

The Queen of Vespanola has issued a decree to banish the Yakisoba Faction boys to a lifetime of hard grinding in the dungeons of Al Quelt Moreza (AQM). Apparently, these boys were found guilty of attempting to pimp out the Queen's delegate, Hrin, in the new continent of Granado Espada.

They will also serve a lifetime of slavery to AQM's resident evil, Dilos Lantemn. No power leveling! No rare item drops!

Grievances aside, Lestat suggested that we have a pure fistfight, meaning no weapons and no skills usage, which turned out to be pretty hilarious!















It felt more like a mild catfight since no one was doing any real damage and everyone was just laughing and having lots of fun. Yet at the same time, it brought us all 'back to our roots' when CBT had just begun - how we were all Level 1 noobs, dealing minimal damage to Mandradoras and to one another during duels.

I can hardly wait for POBT to begin! 55 days and counting down...
