Like I said before in my last entry, games are sometimes not just a game. It’s really a wonder how much drama alone can be stirred up just by playing a game. Yesterday again I had a argument with AHP, nasty one. It’s a definite all out war with him this time.

Anyway that is not my main priority for today, I noticed Xiaxue-ism in a particular GE blog today. Even the the game’s community manager happily dubbed the blogger the “xiaxue of GE”

I went along to take a little look at the blog and there was this uncanny resemblance of xiaxue writing the blog alright, GE style. And those questioning who is xiaxue, here’s a short introduction. She’s a famous or infamous (frankly I don’t know either) Singaporean blogger who blogs about controversial issues daringly, excessively and also about her glamorous life’s ups and downs melodramatically.

So “popular” indeed that on one occasion when her Blogspot account got hacked and all the entries deleted, Blogspot and Google apparently came to her aid and rollbacked everything. Wow, I mean how often is it your complaints can reach the head of Google via Email?

So far I found a couple of blogs that engages in xiaxue-ism. Basically from what I observed you need one of the following factors (not necessarily all) to be eligible:

1. Drama
2. Explosive controversial issues
3. Interesting choice of vocabulary
4. Witty
5. cam whores!
6. Drama
7. Your oh-so exciting life

Here are some blogs I know of fulfilling some of these factors:

A more mild version of xiaxue-ism. Lots of witty posts containing interesting choices of vocabulary. And yes, it’s cam whore heaven, and also the most important point to note the blogger, Cheesie has a quite exciting life. Drama and controversial issues wise are lacking, though not totally not existing

Xiaxue-ism factor: 7.5/10

It is literally xiaxue style but minus the cam whore factor and oh-so exciting life bits. It really touches on controversial issues, controversial in a sense to the game but not much to reality but it still counts heh.

Xiaxue-ism factor: 8/10

Before I continue, please don’t kill me, this is my opinion xD

Cam whore factor is on the rise recently due to the blogger’s increasing love of Photography. Normal degree of ‘exciting’ life and drama. Controversial factor still varies but posts remain witty, and friendly.

Xiaxue-ism factor: 3/10

Of course last but not the least, no one than the Queen herself.

She fulfills all factors to the max! If she can fail her own requirements something is definitely wrong. Go read her blog when feel like experiencing a little drama but have none around you, yes including the reason to read if those drama serials are not airing!

Xiaxue-ism factor: 11/10?

Looking back it’s like half a year since GE has started from pos-beta phase till commercial, all has been great so far other than external issues like botting, unresponsive IAH, bugs, botting, inflation, ksing, faction drama and did I mention, botting?

After many faction experiences I finally settled down into a wonderful faction, but unfortunately like life – we’re all plagued with a fair share of idiots that will ruin what seems to be a happily-ever-after moment.

I really have issues with particularly two individuals in my faction, I’ll use their nicknames for convenience – Mess and AHP. Both are grown adults playing this game, I have no problems with them but it’s their attitudes that irks me, of course the former is the worst one.

I won’t dwell on AHP anymore because more or less my issues with him are settled and I also know that it’s due to habit he loves a dig at people correcting them and being sarcastic.

As you can see in the above screenshot, that was a scenario back then when I kept making fun of Mess a while. My fault definitely, I have to say I can get carried away I’m having fun. Of course I felt remorseful and then I apologized and promised him the next day I won’t disturb him ever about the subject that turns him into ridicule constantly.

I thought that was over…well think again.

Read and understand this conversation…

I’ll clarify certain things first, Kayden is Mess’s cousin and a Pizza (actual name is Pizzaro) is a rare item in the server that drops at an extremely low rate. Kayden is a lucky player considering she has two within a month so I was just telling her she would break her own personal record if she got a third. Just a note, I often proclaim the fact Kay is a very lucky person.

But nooooo…everything I said is “spite and mockery“?!

On what grounds does he have the right to say what I say is malicious? In fact what he mentioned is what I abhor most, I would never do that, Kay is a very nice person by nature as well so what do I stand to benefit by spouting such rubbish?

Also, in case those who does not know me too well, if I’m being serious or speaking like that for whatsoever reasons I don’t do emoticons behind an end of a sentence. My online didi toldme to let it rest because he’s personality is like that, but unfortunately there is only so much one can tolerate. He has the right to say stuff like that, be angry when someone provokes him but I don’t?

It’s like taking a slap to face and telling me I should shut up and pretend it never happened.

Mess is not all that bad though, he does have a good side, he’s very logical and stands up for righteousness. I applaud him once for making a thread when someone insulted the modesty of females in-game.

But still if all goes too far one day, I will not hesitate to type ‘/gleave’. He’s logical alright but that does not mean he’s analytical. I don’t know what’s his damage always love to accuse me of stuff like this.
