Ironic_Depressions:
Yes, just like that D : -cries-

I mean, what's the point of such long text emotes?

Mmm...yeah, true. Although i find that actions can very well just be typed out in a sort of short Role Play form xD Such as...

-chuckles- or *prances around like a crazed loon* or +downs a glass of ice cold lemonade+ or whatever other symbol people may seem to deem worth using around their little actions.

xD Well, that's how i see it anyway as i always tend to do that.

Two weeks? Psh, before you got to spend it all. After all, it's not like you're saving for something either ;_; Well...i mean, you are, but it's not going to take you forever to get the gold or items to trade for it xD

Mmm...well considering the fact that each piece would probably be whenever new items came out, then you wouldn't be that tied down, would you? Anyway, that's what my offer would be for anyone who got me the items that i wanted >D

I can't D : Lol. But i think i will have to start up USD commissions again because well...otherwise i can't afford or get any items, past or present ;_;

Done with Candiie's and ladyumbra's! (*´д`*)ﾉ
Shop set to bribe only. *phew*

@PK:
I have a few reasons.

1. Someone got too hyper with their keyboard.
2. On these kind of avatar sites? More gold.
3. Page stretchers.
4. They have not been ticked off by others before, it seems.

lol

Yes, that is indeed true. But imagine those who are just to lazy to type all those out. Not to mention those who just can't find the words or those who would accidentally take it literally. xD

Actually, I AM sort of saving up... But eh, I don't have the will power to save up till a great amount. xD;

Hmm... You can ask around? lol

*nods*

I see. Well, just open how many slots you can manage and decline the rest.
I'm sure they'd understand. ^^

Ironic_Depressions:
People always go hyper with their keyboard. Although...they don't really so much post ultra long text emotes, or spam emoticons, as just go crazy by typing up a storm and/or going crazy with letters rather than symbols.

And true, it may get you more gold but in the end the person would be doing themselves alot more harm than anything as they'd more than likely get frozen for spamming so much or, like here on Menewsha, their posts would be deleted and the gold would be subtracted xDDD

-winces- Page stretchers...ugh. Again, what is the point? They stretch the page, and thus...they also once again harm themselves, making the page very much difficult for anyone to navigate around it and the post would also be deleted.

People are too lazy to type out such things? Oi vey...it's all in the fingers, people! I can't believe someone-- Ah wait, what on Earth am i talking about?! People chatspeak or use leet speak every day -sigh- Such a sad world we live in, eh. It's absolutely no effort at all to just type 'you' instead of 'u' really : x

Anyone who takes things to be meant literally, urh...well, let's just say that they're odd or just very much internet-deprived? I've never seen anyone take anything literally, or more specifically when the words are inside symbols and are meant to be actions o.o

Oh? What are you saving up for? xD

Lmao. Why? Noone will take me up on the offer anyway. Who on Earth would want so much art and want to spend all their gold and items on art? xD

I could probably manage quite a few. Er...perhaps you should decline them for me? Lmao xD

I know I owe this place a reply...

Or was it the other thread?

XD'

Ahahaha... I'm confused.

BUT HELLO!!!

-nuzzles-

@PK:
*nod*nod*

I see plenty of those in Gaia. Typing bloody long posts (please excuse my language) with just BUMP typed in repeatedly, stretching the page and annoying the heck out of other people. Not to say those emoticon spammers too. *sigh*

And Gaia does nothing about them. >_O;

Yep, that is the risk to take. I like Menewsha this way, for they control legibility and sanity in the forums quite well. xD

Gosh, don't remind me of chat speak. I get annoyed every time any family member of mine SMSes me, and when my sis attempts to chat with me. They could NEVER understand why I type in FULL sentences even in SMSes. lol
Though I understand about saving space = saving costs, I still type it out in full unless I just slightly exceed the limit. xD

Eh, I HAVE met people who take things literally. But then again, those are people who do not have very good control in english and just could not understand the meaning of the sentences as well as others. Language barriers. ^_^;

Right now, a Lovelipop. I have just realised it goes with almost everything, and it is a really lovely item to have too. xD
(I know I'll most probably use it if I have it.)

..........

*looks at the auctions and art request threads*

Awh~ Come on, just saying, "I am really sorry but I am afraid I can't take it up. My slots are already full and I don't think I will be able to finish yours if I accept. I hope you understand. Thank you!"?

^__^;

@whitebeast:
I don't think it's here?
I really don't remember either, myself. xD

HULLO! ^_^

And I claim myself a Musou!Motochika fan (but of course, I still love the Western Army). He has such a nice hair colour... -shot-

At any rate...

I am amused by the fact so many people are starting to notice our signatures and ask about them.

XDDD!!!

Woot. GO KANEMITSUYUKI!!!

I still can't get over the comic you showed me last.

Ironic_Depressions:
Haha, well i wouldn't know how Gaia is now as i haven't been on, but i can imagine just how bad it is over there, especially from what i've heard from friends. And yeah, that's just plain stupid.

I don't see why on Earth Gaia would do nothing about them considering the fact that they're spam- they're waste of space, bandwidth and are just a waste in general.

Haha. Yeah, that's true...although there have been quite a few posts with spam, or otherwise rule breaking D : Like the ones that were made this morning, haha : x

-chuckles- I know very much how you feel m'dear. Alot of my relatives are chat speakers, and well, it's not much fun having to relay messages between them and my own parents just because we're on most of the time, and they're well...not : x Except for dad, whom also chatspeaks -cries D :-

I do the exact same thing! For some reason, i can never really get into typing (pressing the buttons to) letters such as 'u' or 'r' by themselves. It's actually quite the contrast for me as i find it hard to chatspeak or leet speak, lmao xD

Ah...yeah, well you have a point there. But normally people don't really take things literally xDDD

Aww...well i wish you the best of luck getting it then. You'll probably get it very soon though, i trust xD

If you'll notice, noone's looking for an art slave ;0 Lmao. Just an artist to commission every now and then.

xD I've tried that. A number of people have also tried to bribe me into opening up more slots and all that jazz. Eh. I'll try it again though : x

@whitebeast:



You go around a lot more places than I do. But the colours and the gi-trio are difficult to miss. Especially yours, cause it's rather large. xD

Last comic? The Yukimura suki one? xD

There was another one-shot manga I have of the trio getting Cao Pi to do the oath with them... Nevermind. lol

@PK:
*sigh*

It's no wonder many people are just limiting themselves to certain threads and guilds in Gaia. The spam problem there is horrible. And I don't like the way Gaia deals with hackers either. >_>;

The ones on the quest threads?

Hehe xD
Oh, well. I can't tell them how to type anyway. It's what they prefer so I let them me though I inwardly cringe every time I see them. lol

I hope so. xD

Hmm... That is rather true. >_O

Bribes are tempting, I know. rofl
That is why I ended up opening bribe SLOTS instead. I was flooded with 'bribes' back in Zantarni because it was a 'all bribes are welcomed' policy I had there. xD

I adore the style of that artist... The one in the little banner.

So cute. I saw the blown up one and was all squeals!

Really? o:

Then again that's the reason why I chose to display that image really. It's huge and it looks like serious business!

YES. YUKIMURA SUKI!!! xD

And...

What oath?

Poor Cow Pee...

80% of my fanart collection are made out of chibi and one-shots. xD;

So far, Basara still dominates my collection. I have close to 2000 pieces of Basara art pieces as compared to Musou's 900+ art in total (Orochi+DW+SW). xD

....

I feel like shooting myself.

It's mainly because the Basara fanbase update their sites (both fiction and illustrations) at an average turnabout of 20 sites daily where as for the Musou fanbase, only roughly 3-8 sites update theirs daily. And the quality of art for the Basara fanart is also actually much better... :/

.....

*really shoots self*

lol! xD
I save things for their crack value too. Plenty of crack in the Basara fandom.

You know, the oath of friendship, fighting in the name of friendship, Gi-trio.. 8D

Page 1
Page 2
Page 3

Too many kanji, too lazy to translate properly. But I can do a rough translation if you want me to. xD

Translation please? T o T

Crack is good.

It saves the soul.

D8

*flexes fingers*

Hokay~ Rough translation. Accuracy not guaranteed. xD

First page

Mitsunari: Meet my friends, Yukimura and Kanetsugu.
Yukimura: Yoroshiku~
Kanetsugu: Oshinani!
Cao Pi: Oh. -some form of greeting; can't read kanji XP-
(these are basically greetings, I'm sure I do not need to translate them? xD)
Cao Pi: That guy reminds me somewhat of Zhao Yun...

Cao Pi: Hm?

Cao Pi: What is this? That guy (Mitsunari) doesn't seem like his usual self.
(Inaccurate. I can't read that kanji in the middle.)

Cao Pi: I suppose I shall just amuse myself for the rest of this trip.
(I'm not sure how to put this more accurately, but he was saying something about amusing himself for the rest of his time there because the other three were talking with each other and ignoring him. xD)
SFX: Chitter Chatter

(Arrow to Cao Pi: Feels left out.)
SFX: Chitter Chatter

Second Page

Kanetsugu: NAOE KANETSUGU!
Cao Pi: !!!
SFX: SHOCK
Yukimura: Sanada Yukimura!
Mitsunari: ...Ishida Mitsunari.
Cao Pi: ???

Cao Pi: Is this some form of their culture?
(Though, the kanji indicates that something about going against the culture, could also be interpreted as Cao Pi thinking "I am not familiar with this culture...", but eh, I might be mixing up Chinese meanings with Japanese again. ^^; )
Cao Pi: ...? They are not moving?

SFX: GLARE
Arrow pointing to Yukimura and Mitsunari:
Their inner thoughts (if literally translated, could be the voice of their souls) could be felt
"Join us here right away!"
Cao Pi: !!!?

Page 3

Cao Pi: Cao Pi... Zihuan
Cao Pi: ? ?

SFX: CLANG!

LAZYLAZYLAZYLAZY
TOO MANY KANJI ARGH
I'll just summarize the ending, forgive me. ;w;

Mitsunari basically says that the oath ritual(?) is all done. And huffs that Kanetsugu insisted on them doing the oath, how troublesome.
Yukimura than says something about not being able to escape upholding the oath of justice at all times, with the arrow pointing to it indicating that he was saying it in the typical motherly way.
(Rightfully, in Japanese, the oath literally known as the oath of justice, hence the justice (sen(gi))-trio; but the english version used the oath of friendship variation instead. XD)

Cao Pi: Are they this dense about friendship...?
(Or something like that.　ï¼z＿ï¼z)

This reminds me vaguely why I quit the job of translating manga. At least the have the kana beside the kanji there. @[email protected]

You know...

The person who drew that killed my brain. Too much kanji I say. TOO MUCH.

I was quite confused if they were Chinese or Japanese really.

Or just plain mind boggling.

AMP. If that really happened I would truly laugh!

Good god, I wonder how Musou Orochi 2 would be like! >w<;

Ooh. You used to help out at a scanlations group?

Wow... o.o!!!

:lol: I know nothing from the pages!
Its the page 88th! O_O

and... Chinese New Year is coming! :<

Sorry for the super late reply and presence. I was out for whole days ever since I stepped foot in Australia and has just gotten to chance to connect to an internet line. X__x;

No matter.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! ^___^

@whitebeast:
xDD

Yeppers. That was why I gave up translating after a while. I USED to translate for Samurai Deeper Kyo, and I definitely remember looking at the raw files and the chinese translated version with the chinese dictionary at the same time for kanji I can't read. xD;

I'm a sad translator, I know.

I can't WAIT for April! ;w;
I do hope we'll be able to convert data, seriously. The idea of having to retrain 70+ characters does not appeal to me. >_<;

Oh, if you want to see anymore fanarts, do tell me. I have quite a few one-shot pieces too. =)

@xuvrette:
Woo~ Lucky number! And the numbers of the year I was born in. xD

It is already CNY. ^w^
How was it for you?

*runs through the thread*

XD

Hello, Seito! ^^

*runs after her*

*hits the brakes*

xD oh goodie!!
I was wondering when I was gonna run into someone. xD <33

hiya iro! <3
long time no see <33

*crashes into Seito*

Oof!

*recovers*

Yep! It has been quite a while. ^_^

How are you doing?

I was not able to get internet access for the past 4 days. There are mountain piles of replies I have to go through now. lol xD

WAH!

*is sent flying*

I'm okay. x3 <3
I should probably do homework as I'll be busy tomorrow. >> but I'll get to it eventually another 4 hours until Seito even begins to think of sleeping. No final fantasy xii for a while though. <33

xDD that's cause we all love you iro. x3 <33 it's good that you have internet back though!

Haha xD

I miss my PS2. ;w;

Good luck with your homework!
(If you're doing it, of course. xD)

Most of the replies I owe people are e-mails and comments in dA.
And especially that one long essay I've just received from a friend that went to the states for her studies. So many, so many~ xD;

Only for another hour, then I have to go. I wonder if there is enough time to reply to all of them. >_<;

I miss mines too. It's just sitting here. *sigh* Staring at me saying "play me!!"

haha haven't started yet. ^^;;;; Only math homework... and chem homework... and I should start on EE but I need my team for that. : /


Oooo good luck with that. xD <3

You can finish them all!!

Mine is ALL the way back in another country. xD

At least I brought my precious Sims 2 game with me to entertain myself. |3

Math homework doesn't sound too bad.
But chemistry... @[email protected];
Never liked that subject much.

Hehe I hope so. ^^

xDD

have someone mail it you? o.o

hehe that's good. x3 <3 seito's got her trusty DS to distract me. <3

Chem is actually the easiest (actually I think I might have finished it just gotta like check to see if I answered the last question)

math is actually the worse. T__T I hate math more then chem.

Ackk. Your art is amazingg. [:<3
