The Provenance of the Other Universe: Episode 1 of Loki History

This is Episode 1 of Loki History. Take some time and enjoy.

Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Other Universe and the War Between Deceptikonz and Armageddon

In the beginning of our universe, we were rattled by the war of the Untouchables versus Steel Wolves, which gave birth to faction wars Brotherhood versus Ascension and finally Blood Pact versus Finality.

Then there came the birth of another universe. This other universe was given the name “Loki”. In the Chaos universe, we saw a mass migration of players; some group of friends searched for the great wormhole that would transport them to join the Loki universe. During the birth of another universe, just weeks after the Chaos universe opened, there came the birth of the first family, The Beginners, led by Pewee Torres, the very first level 99 power player in Loki. This guild was actually the first guild to be established in the Loki universe. Another very old guild to be established is today’s powerful clan Astronix, led by Sojiro who is now known as the mighty and famous champion, oiram. Moreover, other powerful clans and families were Onslaught, Virus, Genesis and Unholy, which gave birth to ruling Loki personalities, and most probably in the next chapters of this chronicle we shall try to narrate the unending war of Onslaught and Unholy. During these ancient times, the eventual 2004 RWC Champions, the Unholy, is a quiet yet capable guild which is secretive in building up its forces as it organizes itself for a future war. They do not just recruit just anyone in their clan; they have to know the player before it joins their ranks. Due to this fact, the numbers of this guild was low.

After the birth of these guilds, we now focus on a great war. We are going to focus on the war of Armageddon versus Deceptikonz. Comparatively, we can allegorize their war with Untouchables versus Steel Wolves or the clash of the Titans in Greek mythology: the Armageddon and Deceptikonz war destroyed worlds and tore everyone apart. Almost every power player of the Loki universe was asked to join an allegiance, whether it is Armageddon and Deceptikonz.

Power players Locke, escalados, batongbakalmetal, fish, fast switch and co. founded the Deceptikonz regime. They guided their members to level and hunt endlessly and aim for supremacy in the region. They destroyed and mutilated everyone in PVP arenas. However, the guild Armageddon, led by DrSwabe and Rodney Mullen, was always standing on their way to gain supremacy.

Their PVP rivalry brought despair, confusion and anarchy in the PVP arenas. Sometimes, Deceptikonz would win and reign supreme. Sometimes, it would be Armageddon. Basically, they were tie in all aspects, until the gods of the servers have decided to form a tournament that would determine which powerful clan will be sent to the LG League. The gods created this tournament and we would see the Deceptikonz beating Armageddon to be Loki’s representative in the LG League. Eventually, Deceptikonz would overthrow the Untouchables of the Chaos universe in the LG League with the help of an assassin with a Sonic Blow build. This gave the Deceptikonz a great honor not only to them, but to the pride of every citizen of Loki. They became the first legend of Loki.

However, legends do last. Dissension would split DKz (shortcut for Deceptikonz) apart. Their break-up caused their members to search or build new clans and guilds. Some joined Archanfel with Acram Cross. Some joined Onslaught. After the DKz was scarred, Genesis would rise and rival Armageddon in the PVP arenas. Almost every night there were heated fights between the two guilds. Virus and Unholy would soon join the PVP wars, though newspapers would always carry the headlines of Genesis and Armageddon wars.

Chapter 2: The Dark Ages

DKz and Armageddon were the first legends of Loki. But as I said, legends do last. Prior to the WOE era and aftermath the Genesis/Armageddon wars, SSSS, an overruling wizard, decided to search for a wormhole that would send them to the Fenrir universe. Pioneers of this great guild would soon follow SSSS to Fenrir. SSSS would soon be the founder of Armageddon in Fenrir.

The scarred yet rebuilding DKz would take place as Genesis’ rival in PVP. DKz is lusting for its now-gone glory and fame. Armageddon is now forced to rebuild and restore the glory it once mustered. Heaven’s Fire, popularly known as `Jello` , with the support of Spawn, Anakinskywalker and Legolas would create Armageddon’s second generation. We will see in the later episodes how the second generation of Armageddon would fare.

Speaking of other early Loki guilds, the legend Onslaught would make a name for themselves due to the power of their level 99 Wizards and Hunters, who can match every party Genesis and DKz would throw in the PVP arenas. Then also came a guild that we can compare to Chaos’ Alliance of yesteryears; the guild Alpha-Omega. Its mass, open recruitment would give birth to Alpha Omega-Emerald, Alpha Omega Amethyst, Alpha Omega Turquoise, and Alpha Omega Diamond. Soon this guild would give birth to 30 to 40+ clans. Again, we’ll see how these guilds fare once we move onto the next episodes of this chronicle.

Too Tired to Think

I went home again riding a taxi instead of riding a jeep and a bus to save money. Well honestly, I do that all the time. Outside our office in Tayuman, the streets are dangerous. There have been a lot of hold-ups and stick-ups that occurr in that area.

LUG has finally approved the proBaldur booth, the Itlogs booth and the Civitas Dei booth. So they’re expecting us to design and build a presentable and winnable booth within two weeks?

I was plaaning to make a write-up about Tekken 6. Yet I’m too tired to think. I’d love to comment about the new father and son rivalry of Kazuya and Jin, but it has to take a backseat first I guess. I hope Namco would be able to outdo itself. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection was already a masterpiece. My only grudge about it is they never released it for the PlayStation 2 so that masses of gamers can play it. Boy I wish I can afford a PlayStation 3 to be able to play its online version so I can challenge wannabe’s in the States.

Siege was….siege. It’s already the 2007 version. Members wait for the Emergency Call instead of walking to their designated spots. A large part of a guild’s success is the well-placed and timed EC of the guildmaster. My GM character, Ms Hikaru Mithcristien was piloted by our guildmate, the priestess <shame>. We play at the office and I do not wish to give the impression that sieging in the office is my priority (since sieging is allowed in our office’s IT Room). I even asked the wizard SilverRain to pilot my other account so that pots and supplies can be distributed. As usual, we battle our rival guild, Sustainer of the Realm, the 2007 RWC and RPC Baldur champions, and I personally think we and our friends Bozanian Beast Fightrer and Goonz guilds won the day. =))

This i it for now for my dia-I mean, Captain’s Log.

WERE YOU BORN TO DISAGREE?

I think everyone tries to deviate themselves from the norms every then and now. Lolz! That could come in many ways - the change of appearance, principle or manner of conduct - for the purpose of pushing the self through non-conformity. Become the red dot …subconsciously egoistic but socially accepted.

I do not condemn such things. I had once said that deviants were more likely to be famed than conformists. I’ve always adhered to the idea that man will assume roles in society; that some of us are gonna be losers, some of us are gonna be stupid, some smart, some skilled, some great, etc. We all assume roles as part of a social food chain, cannibalistic in nature, affected by societal factors.

Blogdom is a witness to such things. As it is a splatter of opinionated people, it’d almost be an impossibility to not find jokes. That while is understandable for people to have their bias, favorites and subcultures to connect to, there is that one group of genetically enhanced individuals, bionic clowns, who please themselves to disagree. And I don’t mean criticisms and corrections. I’m talking about haters.

It’s bad enough when they’re anonymous; it gets worse to think they have a blog of their own. When you write posts supporting freedom of opinion and you bash people for the things they write, there’s a hypocrisy in that. Such a joke some people can be huh?!

For those who asked, I do not patronize such bloggers because I take pride at offending them. Reputation is not a problem with me… it is by having none of it that I

Unfortunately, Even in the blogs, I have met personalities who seem to down people

I’m Darwinian like this; though it’s probably Freud.

CALL CENTER CONVERSATIONS

I love talking to marketers, I treat them like they’re my friends. I am especially fond of marketers when I’ve just woken up. Lesson in the animal kingdom: when you wake me up, you deal with me!

This is one of those conversation…

girl: sir, can I take two minutes of your time?
me: sure, but I’ll use two minutes of your time too.
girl: ok sir, (and she begins to explain her product, a long distance phone service to the Philippines)

after explaining…

me: ok, my turn!?
girl: yup, what is it about?
me: (gets a Bible and starts to read the Revelations)

after five minutes…

girl: sir, your two minutes is up.
me: wait, hold on! i’m almost done! (I continue to read)
girl: (waits for awhile again then says) sir, i have alot of other things to do. Are you gonna subscribe or not?
me: (then, out of nowhere) Ok, can I talk to your manager?!

The girl was surprised by my sudden question. I explained to her that I wanted to talk to her manager coz I would like to be assured that my personal information was gonna be safe in case I gave it over the phone. She calls the manager.

manager: hello sir, this is so and so and so on and so forth.
me: I just wanted to be reassured that my personal information wouldn’t go out if in case I subscribed to your long distance…
manager: (explains how the system works)
me: You know, you speak very good english.
manager: Thank you po sir.
me: How about me, do I sound Filipino when I speak english?
manager: no sir.
me: Really!? Y’know there’s gonna be an American Idol auditions here in the weekend. Wanna hear a sample?
manager: ah sir…

I begin to sing even before he could say no. My piece was the infamous Silent Night and I made sure he didn’t like it!

me: Saaaaaylent Nayt. Huuuuli cow. Aaaaall is cam. All iss…
manager: (interrupting my masterpiece) SIR THIS IS A RECORDED CONVERSATION!!! ARE YOU GOING TO SUBSCRIBE OR NOT!?!
me: i’m in a hurry, maybe next time.

BLAG!
