Aye! The day of reckoning is here!

Yakisoba is now recruiting players who are level 40 and above. There is a recruitment fee of 5,000 vis. Kindly pm Tsubaki if interested. Do not bother if you do not make the requirement.

For females who are interested in joining us, we do expect you do be at least decently levelled first before joining us. You must be active as well. Do keep in mind that you are required to pay 5,000 vis as well.

I have personally picked a few members whom I feel have the ability to lead Yakisoba in their respective roles, and I will proudly introduce them. These people are your new Vice leader and Squad Captains:

Vice Faction Leader:
Crimzama

Role: Assist faction leader in updating faction site, forums and warchest and point system. Has access to guild bank account.

The Vice Faction leader has to be extremely trust worthy, and I must say that I can even trust Crimz with my life. We have been playing many MMORPGs together for close to 5 years and he is very capable.

GVG Squad Captains:
RavaNa
Voyage

Role: Form parties for GVGs and lead members accordingly. Communicates with Faction leader on which Colony to conquer.

This doesn’t come as a suprise for many. Yakisoba’s deadiest PVPers have a lot of experience in fighting. They are still a little raw on the edge for GVG, but they are being currently being trained by a jGE GVG vetran.

Raid Squad Captains:
chii (also plays Vinch)
Defrance

Role: Organize guild raids on bosses. Forms parties with members and collects all Boss raid loots after defeating them. Submits all items to either Faction leader or Vice for recording, which will then be loaned out to members.

While these two members have been relatively new to Yakisoba, they have proved their worth with their wealth of experience in Boss Raids in jGE/kGE. chii is also responsible for suggesting the point system which will greatly benefit the Yakisoba. Ultimately, we want to equip all our members with the best equipments out there, and these Raid Captains will help.

I would also like members to understudy these leaders, as we will need more GvG/Raid Captains as Yakisoba grows. I also need more foreign Raid Captains so that we maty be able to organize round the clock raids.

And also, future Squad Captains will be nominated and elected by members instead. So contribute more to the guild and prove your mettle to your peers!

Also, the following recruits have been promoted to Members:
bao
cara
DaVinci
Grimmway
Lionheartz
JaniceWong
Keiko
Nuub
Renji
Valkrice
Xobile

Let’s congratulate all of these people!

The hierachy system will be reshuffled, after recieving imputs regards raids from our GE Sages (Lol). The old system is too rigid is will not help at all. I’ve chosen to adopt a more flexible system to boost up our effectiveness. I must admit that raids were not entirely considered when I first planned out the original hierachy system.

The new Yakisoba system will be like this:

Squad captains will no longer have a permanent squad. Instead I will employ Captains specializing in Raids or GvGs. They will have the power to organize squads and will lead the members in their way. This way, the most strongest members will be made avaliable to these Captains, instead of the older squad layout where they might be stuck with members that are of lower levels (and thus not useful to them in GvG or Raids).

Also, we will be introducing a point system for guild raids. It is currently being discussed here on the forum, and members might want to have a glimpse of what is installed for you. This point system will allow members to have priority to raid items based on their contribution to the guild. The more you contribute to the guild, the more the guild returns to you.

Thus in light of this, I’ll be resetting all Senior members back to members. Senior members should be players with high level of contribution to the guild, not because they were part of Yakisoba in CBT. However, I have no intention of downplaying these CBT members’ loyalty. You will be given points for being part of Yakisoba CBT, afterall, it is you guys that made Yakisoba who we are today. I’m still working out the little details needed for this, so hang on for now.

For our first batch of Captains, I will pick them based on their skills and experience. I have been observing everyone for a while and I will speak to you personally and ask if you want this position. Squad Captains need to be dedicated to their position. It’s not just a simple title to flaunt around, since they will be working very closely with me. Do note that only first batch of leaders will be pick like this. When the guild expands, new leaders will be elected via voting.

After much discussion with some members, Recruits will no longer be allowed access to the inner forums until they are confirmed as members. This is to prevent guild information from being leaking out. We take our guild secrets and our privacy very seriously, especially what has happened recently. Thus, Lisa’s Cafe forum will be shifted out to the lobby section where recruits will be able to communicate with the other members on it.

That’s it for now. I will be posting the news of the confirmed Captains as soon as I have spoken to them all.

Alrighty, here’s a couple of notices for Yakisoba members. The goddamn in-game faction notice isn’t working so that why I have to resort to posting it here. Gah.

Firstly, those who have yet to pay your 5,000 vis to me, please do so before Sunday. I really hate chasing for money, so you better take the initiative to come to me. Oh and if you can, please chip in some extra donations. We’ll need some more money to expand the guild.

Our faction level currently level 31, but I do hope to be able to increase it to 51 so we can have access to the other guild features.

Also this Sunday, I’ll be creating a thread in our forum and I will need everyone to report their current levels. So for those who have not gotten a forum account yet, please register for it now.

As for this Sunday’s recruitment, I’ll post our latest requirements by Saturday. There might be some changes.

Just a light update on what’s happening in Yakisoba.

After adding in some old CBT members, some new talents and a handful of females (who I must say, are impressive gamers), we have ballooned to 46 members. Yakisoba is in no hurry to expand the guild at the moment, so our planned recruitment on the 20th might changed a little.

Most of the our members with ppOBT passes are deep in Jezebel now, and I dare say we’ll be moving out of that place tomorrow. There’s definitely going to be a huge gap between those that started on the 17th and those on the 15th, and all I can say is that we’ll only be picking the best from the 17th to join our ranks.

I know this is disappointing to hear for those who really want to be part of the Yakisoba family, but fret not- There will be another opening soon. Just train hard, and introduce yourself on our IRC channel. There are already some people who have joined us even before the 20th because they have taken the initative to introduce themselves to us and have left us a very good impression.

However, Pm-ing me in the game won’t impress me at all. I’m constantly levelling and last thing I need is to die while trying to reply. I’ve stop replying to people these days because Porto Dungeon’s just too dangerous, so just leave your pm on the IRC instead. I’ll reply once I’m resting or something.

And I want to apologise to those that I have not replied to. I hope you’ll understand. =)

Sorry for the lack of updates and communication via IRC or the forums. I have been very busy grinding like crazy. Yakisoba has been resurrected last night, and we have 34 members inside now. I’ve given some people early access to Yakisoba because they show great potential, and it’s a waste to not have them flood our guild chat, heh.

I’ve also updated the family list and warchest page, so do check it out.

We’ve experienced some slowdown in our trainings because the warp scrolls were not sold at all, and as a result we had to do a lot of running around. But this bug has been fixed just a couple of hours ago, so those coming in on the 17th won’t have to worry about that.

We’ve also experience lagspikes already from the server, and I must say there servers are going to die once people start pouring in on the 17th. All the best in getting a grinding spot in AQM or Tetra.

As for those members playing in the ppOBT, in a couple more hours, we will be hitting Porto Bello and we are trying to grind as much as we can because the server will be going down for (yet another) maintainance from 6am to 11am.

It’s been really fun and all, and we can’t wait for the rest of you to join us. Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of 1337 stuff to share with you guys. See you guys on the 17th. And the rest of those who want to join Yakisoba, see you on the 20th.

Chances are, it’s going to be full very soon. Eh eh eh. Haha.

Okay Yakisobans, this is it.

Tomorrow is the big day. For the few that cannot start with us tomorrow, it is most unfortunate, but we will meet up again. I’ll be grinding full speed and I’ll get Yakisoba up. I hope everyone has begun organizing their mini squads of 2-3 players.

Your pobt validation codes will work at 10am tomorrow, so wake up at 9.30am, validate that little bitch and wait for the floodgates at 12pm. Oh and get a good night rest too. I wish the best to everyone. I hope to see everyone in the Tetra area at around 3pm? Lol.

MADNESS? THIS IS YAKISOBARTANS!!!!!11111ONEONE

After a mole has crept into our forums and IRC channel, I have been forced to learn to be less trusting of people. This is very unfortunate because I have always enjoy the company of other players, but apparently a single player does not respect boundary rules. Instead of wasting time playing Infernal Affairs with that mole, I have discussed with some core members and we will decided to review our structure and recruitment plans.

Yakisoba Members
Firstly, Yakisoba will no longer accept all former CBT Yakisoba members into the guild. This is because we have come to a consensus that while most of us have made the effort to maintain ties via the forums and IRC, a number of you have not, and thus your are as good as a stranger to us. If you wish to return, kindly contact me and I will review your case. There a a couple of members out there that I would love to have back, but because of your inactiveness, I am unable to list you as a core member.

The following Yakisoba members will be considered as core members, and their access to Yakisoba will be immediate in pOBT:

Cage, SilverCrimz, Voyage, Hype, Ashes, Opelxfrost, Kuchiki, Sabre, Keitaro, Lyre, Tohsaka, Sinistral, Testarossa, Hellsing, Yuki, Huang, Luciora, Lowell, Sagitis, Evil, Kelv, Alex, Sora, Jay and Jae.

These core members will make up the bulk of the elite Yakisoba players. You are required to hit level 60 by the 20th of May. I understand that some members may have school, but don’t worry, we will help cover each other in our usual squad parties. You may register at the new forum now with your preferred family name and I will validate you.

We have a couple of extra ppOBT passes that we have won and we will to distribute it to all core members and you will be able to start together with the rest of the guild.

Players interested in Joining Yakisoba
Players who are interested to join us, the requirements stays the same. However, our cap will continue to increase by the day due to in order to keep the standards of Yakisoba up. It is also good if you can join our channel on the IRC or on the forums and introduce yourself. Leave us a good impression and we will welcome you to our family.

There are a number of candidates that we have identified from our IRC channels, and those players will definitely join us as soon as they meet our requirements.

Yakisoba Structure
Yakisoba’s guild structure will only be implemented when we have which an optimal amount of members where such a system will aid the guild efficiently in GVG and Boss Raids. Core members will be considered as senior members in pOBT.

Meanwhile, all members please keep a look on for your potential squad captains.

Yakisoba Goals, Directions and Aggression Policies
A couple of people have mentioned to me that they are not clear with some of our policies, so allow me to announce all of this formally on black and white. Yakisoba is a hardcore guild. We play hard, work hard and laugh hard together. While we have a rigid hiereachy system, we are a family and our guild channel and chats always reflect our bond with each other. We will focus mainly in Colony War, GVG events, PVP events and Boss Raids.

Our goal is to be the best, and nothing less.

I will also formally announce that we are at the moment, Neutral with all factions. Whatever badblood that we had with existing CBTs factions will be wiped clean. We intend to start on a new slate for the pOBT, and will not carry any grudges. But I believe as we develop later into the game, there will be more competition and guild rivalry will be inadvertent and things will change.

Since competition is necessary in order to achieve power, we will welcome all challenge. May the best guild rule Vespola.

Attention all Yakisobans, please note that I will be wiping the forums tomorrow (instead of the 14th like I originally planned). Kindly back up whatever necessary information you require. This wipe is to ensure that our forums will start on a clean slate together with pOBT, as well as a member list reset. Please note that I will bring the forum down for down maintainence for a couple of hours so I can get things sorted out.

Once the forums is up, all former CBT members please re-register yourself again. But please register your chosen family name as your forum account name. This is to ensure that there will be no confusion with the other members. As soon as you have registered, please leave a message either here, or on the lobby forum (I will create a thread for you to post) stating who you are and I will validate you.

As soon as you are validated, you will have access to the inner forums.

New members who are planning to join Yakisoba please take note: You will not be accepted into the forums until you have been formally accepted into Yakisoba. That would mean in simple english: Level 40 + 5,000 vis + Yes from Tsubaki. So I would suggest you register later since your if your account do not get validated in a week, it will be deleted off the server.

That will be all for now. Just 2 more days to go now. I hope everyone will hang in there!

Whoa. It’s sizzling hot here on the frying pan. I’ve been getting a lot of request, secret pm, love letters and bribery in regards to our recruitment on the 20th of May. Just how hot it is? Let me throw in the number:

22 requests.

Well it’s just requests anyway. Just show us your level 40 characters and 5,000vis and we’ll talk.

At the moment we have roughly about 15 to 18 core Yakisoba members, but I’m sure more will rise from the dead as soon as I summon them with the Ring of Yakisoba. Lol. But it’s good to know that we can get a force of around 30-40 people by the 20th. Looks like we can start early with guild quests, boss raids and all.

Oh and what’s amazing? There’s a number of girls who have expressed interest in joining us! I wonder if we can even form an all-girls squad in Yakisoba. Hahaha. If you’re a girl and you want to be part of Yakisoba, we welcome you to join us! Even though I’ve been told that MMORPGs actually stands for Many Men Online Role Play Girls and I should be more carefully with people claiming to be girls, I’m not gonna demand girls to send their pictures to me. Hahaha.

God, I’m so pumped up. 3 days and 14 hours more to go for those with ppOBT passes! Oh and do join us on the #Yakisoba IRC channel. It’s really noisy lately. Oh and the weather in Singapore is a real bitch lately, so everyone please rest well and drink more water.
