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.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

It's just you.

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

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

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).

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

So, "an scapegoat"?

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

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.
