The GE PH Attendance sheet went beyond than what we've expected, and for this, we are truly grateful!

I saw lots of girl gamers in our booth that day - so I made lots of shameless plugs for them to come on the 2nd Girl Gamer Gathering.

The tournament was crowded with avid GE players as well - 8 teams of 2 passed on the registration cutoff time. And a nice round of teasing and handshaking for every round definitely made my day as well. It's as if I feel like home, I don't know why. ^^

A lot of players bought their boxes and Bellem cards that day. Thanks to the ones who purchased! Hope you guys enjoy your Emilia the Sage and Item of the Month.

Congratulations to the winners of Clash of the Pioneers:
1st Place
GenesisX
PPG

2nd Place
Moppy
KudoEdogawa

3rd Place
LeCiel

All from Pachelbel server. Our big thanks also to those who participated in the tournament! Goodluck next time!

A couple of shots with the GE peeps:



Marami pang pictures, pero ibang camera. I hope the other GE peeps won't mind sharing it! ^_^

Till next event! ^_~

I got featured! XD~

Hopefully, time flies fast for July 3 to come!

Anyway, here's the aftermath of the Globe Summer Gimik Games last June 15 in Ayala Mall Cebu - the home of the GE Pinoy Champions (Zouk Raid Party, PH Commercial Launch).

As usual, they spoke in Bisaya - sweet language though, I love the soft accent. ^^

I did the usual presentation for GE - and yes with my usual homemade GE video by moi~ XD


And congratulations to the winners of the Clash of the Pioneers!

Cheers to the Cebu community! It was my first time there, and I totally had a blast! Sorry for turning down the dinner offer from my players - I have to man the booth. I hope you guys understand, but it was a great reunion nevertheless. Good to see Arc (one of the Best Feature Match PH team representative for Zouk Raid Party SG & Champions in PH Commercial Launch), Death, and Knight (Both Champions for PH Commercial Launch) again~ ^_^

For the factions who will be celebrating their anniversary, kindly email me a formal request for whatever you guys need: like prizes or rewards for your activities. Thanks!

~Ellaine Ruth A. Reyes~

Veya: Still working/studying? Where?
Serpentes: I’m a graduate student~ :3


Veya: What's your MCC team line-up, plus the IGNs of each?
Serpentes: My main line-up is the Serpentes Family which consists of a Male Scout (Amatsumara), Female Wizard (Hahaziah) and Grace Bernelli (Hazzimara) while my other characters who I call “The Zodiac Angels” are Romina (Vasairiah), Catherine The Summoner (Seheiah)~

Veya: Where do you usually play?
Serpentes: At Dahling’s, err, my fiancé's place~ :D

Veya: How long have you been playing GE?
Serpentes: Since closed beta~


Veya: What are you're average time in playing online? (counting the times
you're on AFK)
Serpentes: It differs because I only get to play when I’m at my Dahling’s so if you see me online, you know my whereabouts~ :D

Veya: How did you know about the game?
Serpentes: From our friend who was invited to the CBT launching of GE in Market! Market!~ He got us, his guild members, CBT accounts to try GE~ It was a great timing because we were looking for a game to migrate to after retiring from pRÖ~

Veya: What are the features of GE that got you hooked into the game?
Serpentes: The awesome pwning graphics, stimulating music, AFK system and the poses~ (Plus, it's “Yaoi-able” and “Yuri-able”~ Fufufu~)

Veya: Are there any factors that changed your gaming experience? Did it gave you more reasons to play or are you thinking less of the game due to issues? Cite some situations.
Serpentes: The new maps which I’ve been dying to train and have screenies on but my level isn’t fitting for the monsters yet~ D: Oh, and the costumes~! I’m vain when it comes to my characters~ I want them to look good which I cannot achieve iRL~ XD I could say my frustration over cosplaying is being transmitted to them~ LOLz~ Negative issues~? Nah, I don’t usually care about them just as long as I’m having fun playing~ :3
(ditto, I salute you on that girl! ^^)

Veya: Were there situations that people mistook your gender irl? (because there are a few girl gamers nowadays, and mostly chixilog so people find it hard to believe that you're a girl in-real-life)
Serpentes: Yes, it can’t be helped~ But just like what I said in GC (General Chat~), I don’t force them to believe me~ :D The guys in our faction (who frequently play in my fiancé's internet café) usually stand for me when we have new members asking if I’m really a girl (I used to be the only girl in our faction then but I'm not alone now, wai~! (~^w^)/)~

Veya: Were there advantages/disadvantages of being a girl gamer?
Serpentes: Advantages, hmm, when I or other girls are online they try to minimize their exalted “guy talk”~ o_O They also offer items that I’m looking for but I insist to buy them because I don’t want an über special treatment~ In quests, I usually rely on guides in GE forums~ :3 It’s easier than asking them from time to time about what to do next~

Veya: Do you have objectives or reasons to go on playing? Do you play for fame, friends or to gain high-level characters?
Serpentes: I play for fun and for friends~ :3 It’s nice meeting people from other countries which have the same interests as yours~ You get to see a glimpse of their culture through their conversations with you~ :D What’s more delightful is I also meet Yaoi fangirls like me mahaha~! LOLz~ Sorry, can’t help it nyur~ X3


Veya: Do you have a message to send out to all the other girl gamers?
Serpentes: Remember this~: GIRLS ARE ON PAR WITH THE GUYS EVEN IN GAMING~ Don’t ever let them underestimate you just because we’re the so-called “lesser gender”~ You can always scare them with pics of big burly men Yaoi in the worst case scenario~ It works~ XD

(Pardon the crankiness of my answers, I just lost all my sanity on our board exam earlier~ But I like this better than the on-the-spot interview we had on the Girl Gamer Gathering in which I sucked~ X3)

PS. I did not edit any of her answers - I like how the gamers show their hyper-genki-mode in the interviews.

You can check her haven here: http://hahaziah.deviantart.com/, in which she shows off her real talent in photography and art.

Many thanks to El for providing her most cheerful insights on her gaming experience. I just hope more of the gamers are like her!

We have more featured gamers soon! ^_~

Cagayan de Oro - City of Golden Friendship

When we were about to land on CDO, I've noticed that there were lots of mountains just like in Baguio - and it was cool to see that we've landed on top of a mountain where the CDO airport lies.


The Limketkai Mall was like a version of Greenhills, Greenbelt, and Glorietta all-in-one. The Atrium, in which we held the 5th leg of the Globe Summer Gimik Games event, was so huge! Plus, we fell in-love with the waterfall backdrop~ ^^


Our activities were pretty much the same, plus of course a GE presentation with my own amateur video XD~ And I've also judge the Audition dance battle again, plus managing to get pictures of the events like some crazy paparazzi.

Reunion of the GE PH team? Yup, Amelia™ and Hush of Cervantes that represented Cagayan de Oro during the Zouk Raid Party, and also the Liberty match during commercial launch at Esplanade. We had photo-op at the Globe booth and I'm thankful for the gift of yummy pastels again~ I feel so loved! XP~


The Clash of the Pioneers ended early, and so we invited lots of new players to join the freeplay. Lots of peeps from Carracci and Vivaldi were present during the event.


And they made me sing with the battle of the band champions as entertainment, I don't even know if I did well, but everyone was waving during my singing. LOLz~ This was the most unforgettable experience in CDO - and yes, hopefully this would be my last encore. XD~


Congratulations of the ff. winners of Clash of the Pioneers:
1st Place
Dagz & Jobhil of Vivaldi

2nd Place
Amelia™ & Hush of Cervantes

3rd Place
Consolar & Mackenzy of Vivaldi


Community snapshots~


I was also surprised to see that most of the marshalls were also GE players. Kudos to your hardwork guys! ^_^
