The One About The Tragic Treasure Hunter
Once upon a time, when everyone was high on Vietnamese G7 coffee...
"Hey guys, Mr Pocket is asking us what name we want to give the NPC for the lottery event during V3.4 launch," Kaioujin says.
"Singapore Pools? Casino Royale?" MeepokTah casually suggests.
"Hmmm... it's an NPC, not a place, so it has to be more of a person's name," Kaioujin says.
Contemplative silence until MeepokTah bangs his table in a 'Eureka!' moment.
"I KNOW! I KNOW!!!" he exclaims.
All eyes turn to him in anticipation.
"We'll call him... TIKAM MAN!" he proclaims proudly.
"HAHHAH! Ya! We should name him that!" the rest of the team responds enthusiastically.
*Facepalm*
"TIKAM MAN!? Eeeeew!!! I violently object! That's so not classy at all! Can we have something slightly more sophisticated?" I groan.
"Hmm... true... I have an idea!" Kaioujin exclaims.
Finally, a voice of reason.
"Yes, bro?" I grin, happy that Kaioujin is on my side.
"We'll call him Hron! Hrin's evil cousin!"
By now, the rest of the team is rolling in laughter as I growl at Kaioujin.
"So... it's settled then! Hron, the Tikam Man!" MeepokTah concludes.
"Eh guys, come on. It's bad enough that he is the security guard for my Treasure Mission. Do you really have to subject him to further torture with such an awful name?!" I protested. Just the sound of that name gave me instant goosebumps. I was starting to have serious regrets about raising objections. Maybe Hron's fate might have been different. He could have had a cooler name, like Willy Wonka or Darth Vedar.
Hrin's Faithful Security Guard
No one is listening to me now, being deeply engrossed in loudly fantasizing about some random ludicrous background story about Hron the Tikam Man being some long lost cousin of mine and how we nearly romanced until *gasp* we discovered we were cousins!
Gosh, they really should keep their day jobs...
So there you have it, the tragic tale of Hron's origins.
For those of you who do not know what 'tikam' means, it means 'Random Pick' in Malay language. The term 'Satu' means One and 'Dua' means Two. The full article should be up on the website soon, after Kaioujin finishes up his soap opera script of Hron The Tikam Man. But in the meantime, enjoy some screenshots of the event:
