One fine day in Pig Beach, Carcharas was training his pet tiger, Fang, how to fight and get stronger in Maple World. All was going well until a bald, half-dressed person came into the map. Suddenly, all the creatures around were instantly dragged towards this newcomer! Fang chased after the monsters before Carcharas could stop him, and disappeared. Carcharas sprinted at the mass of monsters, searching desperately for Fang

The bald person smiled evilly and cast away all the monsters he had called towards him. This person took pleasure at the look of pain in Carcharas' eyes as Fang flew off in the distance. Carcharas ran to get help from the local GM squad, but by the time he got back to the beach, the bald stranger was gone. From then on, Carcharas roamed across Maple World in search of his lost friend, vowing to get stronger and eliminate any evil bald people he would come across. No good people would ever fear the loss of their pets while he was watching.

By this third one they're certainly getting unoriginal. Anyone at looking forward to seven plus more variants of " I was a worthless nub who met a bad hacker man in a map no real player ever visits anyway and became a hero to fight for love and justice "? Rolleyes

You'd vaguely hope for at least one "valiant leader" who became an MWLB after discovering an evil force was blocking heroes from entering Horntail's Cave to smite him or something or something that actually is relevant and plotty.

Moral of the story - Carcharas makes Chemokid Cry.

Is it just me or does ". . .an MWLB. . ." sound bad?

It's just you.

Usage of "an" over "a" is determined by phonetic properties, not be spelling.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_and_an

Since the first syllable is "Em" the usage of An is correct.

So we dont have to worry about him as long as your character isnt bald? Good to know.

Meet the MWLB - Carcharas - PrincePage - 2009-11-20

It sounds bad either way. If your pronounce it letter by letter, MLWB is big and bulky. If you come up with some other way to pronounce it, it's phonetically incorrect (and whatever you come up with is still silly sounding).

Biggrin

Letter by letter is shorter than trying to spit out the full name. Big, bulky, clunky and fail is the whole program made succinct.

I pronounce it like "scapegoat"

So, "an scapegoat"?

Where did the S come from? I'm so confused!

And the names only get worst.

Carcharas. Goddamn. That's utterly stupid.

Meet the MWLB - Carcharas - MetaSeraphim - 2009-11-20

I just read the story. Dear God. . . I really hope these are the characters stories and not stories made up by Nexon themselves.

I just pronounce/think of it is as Maple Watch Leaf Brigade, not M-W-L-B. That's why it sound weird to me, I guess.
