| Papulatus--One of a Kind |

Maplestory bosses fall into four "unofficial" categories. Overtime, the players have found strategies to dealing with the various bosses of Maplestory and the strategies sometimes overlap eachother; which lead the players apply the same strategies for some bosses and thus, formed unofficial, unspoken categories for each boss.
PQ Bosses
Simplest type. Bosses found at the end of party quests. Easily deafed by the level range the party quest was designed for.
EX: - King Slime
- Alishar
- Ergoth
- Geist Balrog
Area Bosses
These bosses have relatively low hp and and very ideal for the whole 50 levels of third job people. They spawn randomly after a certain amount of time is passed after the previous one was killed.
EX:- Mushmom
- Zombie Mushmom
- Jr. Balrog
- Blue Mushmom
- Headless Horseman
- Griffrey
- Manon
"Ranged" Bosses
These Bosses are ideal for ranged people (bowmen, and the star rogues). They move very fast, and physical damage is very high. Certain to kill any low to decent leveled ranged person in one hit. They require one strategy: pinning (aka "KB"). Since ranged attackers are capable of rapid fires, these bosses can be locked in KB, unable to get close enough to attack.
EX:- Female Boss (aka Anego)
- Black Crow (aka Tengu)
- Bodyguard A
- Bodyguard B
- The Boss (aka Grampa Gunboss +other names)
*While making this list, I realized that all ranged bosses originated in Japan/jMS/Showa/Mushroom Shrine/Zipangu/etc. Perhaps it's due to jMS being the version with the biggest (if not, one of the biggest) population of hermits/night lords.
Stationary Bosses
They do not move; they're stationary. Like the ranged bosses, they have millions of HP. Usually comes in more than one form -or- more than one (body) part. They're designed for any class in game.
EX:- Zakum
- Pianus
- Horntail
- Krexel
- Pink Been(?)
Papulatus
Where does the papulatus fall? The category of bosses were not something the game designers created; they're something the players created. For instance, you rarely see a warrior in a ranged boss battle. Warriors are capable of killing them, but they usually don't like to kill them due to the high speed and high physical damage.
The papulatus is neither stationary nor can be "categorized" as a "ranged boss". Ranged bosses move very fast and deals high damage when touched (usualy over 8k). Unlike ranged bosses, Papulatus moves slow and only deals a tad over 3k with touched. Because of its low damage, it doesn't need to be pinned/KB'd. Unlike stationary bosses, papulatus is suitable for solo or parties (it does not require a party to killl unlike other stationary bosses).
What are the trails of the category of papulatus?
Low damage (~3k), slow moving, and does not have hundreds of millions of HP. We need Nexon is make more bosses like this for people who enjoy bossing when they want (ie does not need to make a schedule for a party of 20+ people) and suitable for anyone to kill and not just one group of class. 
*Though is similar to papulatus, Captain Latanica, I believe is more of an Area Boss due to its low HP.

[SIZE="4"]Introductory[/SIZE]
Hello. Here's a small introductory about the Guildmaster. My name is Jessica and I've been playing Maple Story for almost 4 years, off and on. RedFalchion is the very first guild I ever joined and created. I created it when I was 12 and when Celsious was lvl 26. I'm currently 16 years old, but many call me mature, so my age does not seem to affect my leadership skills. It was created about a month after Guilds were patched out. Our guild decided to date a birthday for it, and thus the date is February 12th, 2006. I am the only member out of the original 6 to stay in RedFalchion all this time.
[SIZE="4"]Information[/SIZE]
As the title says, RedFalchion is currently recruiting. RedFalchion is NOT a typo for RedFalcon or RedFaction. The "Red" symbolizes blood and the "Falchion" is a sword. Our name literally means "Blood Sword". We have maxed our slots to 90 and do not plan to expand over 90. If you like the thought of being in a big guild, but you're scared it'll get loud and spammy, we're perfect for you. Even though we have near 80 members, half of those members have double characters in the guild. In other words, our average online at a time is 20. We're friendly, literate, nice, and active. We do Zakum runs and horntail as well. You must be lvl 80+ to join the guild. You must be at least 100+ to join the Zakum runs. You must be at least 150+ to join our Horntail runs, after I approve of you of course. Our active users are mainly from the lvls 6x~16x, on avg lvl 10x+.
[SIZE="4"]Requirements:[/SIZE]
-Legit
-Active
-Literacy
-Lvl 80+ is required to join the Guild
-Lvl 100+ is required to join Zakum runs
-Lvl 150+ is required to join Horntail runs [After approval]
[SIZE="4"]Alliance: [/SIZE]Ambition
-Destined Guild
-Heaven Guild
[SIZE="4"]Rules:[/SIZE]
-There is absolutely no begging for leeching or mesos. Many of us joke around when it comes to asking for leeching though.
-You must be an active member. If you do not log on within the next 7 days from the last time you logged, I will be forced to boot you. I must have a notification if you're leaving MS for any personal reasons and still wish to be in our guild.
-We do NOT tolerate hackers in our guild.
-Any Zakum organization related to the RedFalchion guild is handled by me and ONLY me.
-Do not join the guild and expect to be able to zak with us the next day. I need to get to know you first.
-No scamming is allowed.
-Glitching is not tolerated. It breaks the ToS.
-You will only be allowed to KS BACK. Do not provoke KSing.
-We want your personality, not your level. Don't join and come out with an attitude.
-Do not join our guild and ask us for a HT pend/Zhelm/MoN right away. We're not here to be used by you.
-Killing people for fun is strictly forbidden. It's just plain rude.
-MOST IMPORTANT RULE: Have some fucking fun! 
[SIZE="4"]
Activities[/SIZE]
We do zakum runs on Sundays and Wednesdays at 9 pm EST on Ch 4 just about every week. Alot of us also like to APQ and Pap. I've started organizing Horntail runs on Wednesdays at 7 pm EST.
We normally GPQ on weekends. Guild activities usually consist of training and bossing. We do random CWKPQ runs here and there.
Zak: Sunday and Wednesday 9 pm EST [Celsious/xRelish/Defiie]

| [Broa] RedFalchion Squad Helms |

Hello there! We are the RedFalchion squad/guild who sell Zhelms. Our prices are:
1 Try - 25m
2 Tries - 30m
3 Tries - 35m
Unlimited - 45m
VIP - 50m
A try is when you enter the altar. You cannot die/dc while in the altar, or that counts as a try. You will only be given one resurrection or more if you bought 2 or more tries.
The definition of our Unlimited is when you continually go on our runs until you receive a helm. However, you will always be placed last in the buyer line for that day to receive the helm.
The definition of our VIP is when we, usually me, go on your acc and do the run for you. Yes, this mean you must give us your acc info. We will also provide HP equips to those who buy VIP and ONLY VIP; a 55x HP + addition. You may rent these equips out for 10m. You will regain your 10m once I get my HP equips back from you.
The VIP package includes me doing all your quests. If you wish to get a different package and still want me to do your quests, it will be a 5m+ extra on whatever you bought.
Our run times are:
Channel 4 Sunday 9 PM EST
Channel 4 Wednesday 9 PM EST
Channel 6 Tues/Wed/Thurs/OR Fri
We take about 15-20 minutes to finish a run.
Here is a set list of those who have bought/received helms from our runs. This is to show you we do not scam people. You may talk to any of these users to confirm that we are not scammers.
We have sold a total of 147 helms and given a total of 36 helms to those who earned it. The most recently sold would be at the bottom.
B = Bought
Nothing next to = Earned
OOO = Losers who tried going wacko and looting everything
We do NOT sell skill books for books such as TT10, AC10, AR10, and ACB10. We only give those skill books to runners. If you want to come on our runs to earn one of these skill books, I must have some kind of recommendation that you are trustworthy.
Now the final details. If you're interested in buying, post here or PM me. You may also talk to me in game at Celsious. You will pay me and only me, up front. When you pay me is when you get to loot in the order of buyers that day. First come first served basis.

Yes, I'm going to be a gunslinger, so sue me.
1. What does a gunslinger do when he runs out of bullets? Whack stuff?
2. Do you get bullets when you job advance?
3. Are there ANY bullets you can buy at all?
4. Not as much of a bullet question, but do you get a beginner gun (like a beginner's longsword or a beginner's wand) when you advance?
That's all, thanks in advance.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm viewing E3 live right now and I figure I'll update everyone that cares with whats going on. I'll post anything huge right away.
UPDATED:
Huge list of things...
Xbox 360 is getting avatars
Netflix has formed a partnership with Microsoft, so you can watch any movie on XBox live
XBox is getting a community set-up with the avatars, so you can have 8 people in a room chatting at once via avatar
You can stream movies via Netflix to everyone in a room that you're friends with, so they can watch the movie with you at the same time (thats fucking insane)
Lots of games are coming out this Fall, to include XNA games, Game Show games, XBox 360 games (soooo getting viva pinata)
Rock Band 2 songlist was shown. Bob Dylan FTW.
Square is releasing 3 RPGs specifically for the 360...and then hit us with a bombshell that FFXIII is coming to the 360
I think those are the big ones from the Microsoft showing...great stuff.
