Off Topic / After-shave
« on: January 22, 2013, 08:00:02 AM »
Who here uses after shave? If you don't you should seriously start using it because it stops the irritation from shaving and makes your skin soft. Also don't get the alcohol based ones.

My favorite after shave so far is Afta Fresh.

Discuss After Shave.

Off Topic / Dryer sheets are amazing
« on: January 19, 2013, 12:06:03 PM »
So for any sport, I always end having my stuff stink to no end until I started using dryer sheets. Now they don't stink, my gym bag and shoes which used to smell like a dirty locker room, and now they don't just because I put dryer sheets in them.

Discuse these great inventions.

Off Topic / I am a Letterman now
« on: November 13, 2012, 07:21:09 PM »
I am now officially a varsity Letterman for athletic sports, during my freshman year. I got my first varsity last year for band so this is technically my second year as a Letterman :D. This year my letter was from Golf.

To those who do not know what a varsity letter is where you play a certain amount of time or matches in a sport. To be a Letterman obviously means you have earned a varsity letter

Quoted from official site

Life of Mabinogi


With over 50 different hair styles and over 40 different eye and lip features you can select from, Mabinogi allows countless possibilities to build your character with a wide range of colors and shapes. Users are also provided with various decorative accessories and shoes. Not happy with the selections? Dye them into different colors of your own choice to perfectly suit your taste! If you are tired of having the same look as everyone else, come and experience life in Mabinogi, where unique expressions of one’s identity are encouraged and celebrated!


Elves and Giants also live in the world of Mabinogi. Uladh consists mainly of the Human race while Iria is occupied by Elves and Giants. Explore the eclectic range of surroundings from the dry deserts of Connous which are frequented by sandstorms, to the snowy fields of Physis.


Mabinogi NPCs will remember your character. Every NPC is kept busy with his or her occupation. If are looking for a part-time job, then simply try talking to them. If you complete the job, there is no doubt that you will be met with worthwhile rewards, not to mention the rapport you will build with the NPC!


Have you ever felt like you’re just another player with nothing to make you stand out from the rest? In the world of Mabinogi, you can earn titles that every player will respect and recognize. Some titles are easy to earn while other rare titles take a lot more time and skills. But regardless of how they are acquired, it will be your opportunity to express your creativity as well as the uniqueness of your character. Reach for titles that will let the whole world know who you are!


Exotic giant marks on the ground and hidden dungeons that appear and vanish. It is the role of our users to uncover the mysteries of the exotic giant marks and hidden dungeons.


In Mabinogi, anyone who has a fishing pole and some bait can enjoy fishing. You can either read the fish’s gesticulatory hints and fish at your own pace, or have your character fish on his/her own. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a precious item instead of a fish. You can choose to fish at the bank of a clear stream, at a serene reservoir in the middle of endless waters of the ocean, or even on ice for ice fishing!


All manufacturing activities begin by gathering the natural resources around you. In Mabinogi, users can shear sheep, spin threads, weave fabric, and tailor their own clothes. In addition to shearing sheep, you can actively partake in other activities such as chopping down trees for firewood, milking a cow, mining for iron ores, and much more.


When you are stranded alone in the field in the middle of the night, follow the small glimmer of light afar and you just might run into a group of travelers sitting around a campfire. You can stay warm by the fire, play music, tell stories, cook a delicious meal and share it all together. It’s an intimate place, where bonds are formed and friendships grow closer. Best of all, you will be in for a treat as the troubadours’ music will accompany you through the night. You can even compose and have other players listen to your composition, available only in Mabinogi.


In Mabinogi, users can cook with the ingredients they have gathered around them.
You will begin with simple meals, but as you take classes and acquire the necessary mastery, you will be able to create fine-dining, gourmet meals that rival those of any restaurant! The taste of the food depends on how you mix and match the ingredients, but if you’re constantly eating fatty foods, you’ll gain weight so be careful! If this happens, you’d have to go on a strict diet by eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating healthy is not only good for your body, but it also helps you develop your skills.


Basic skills are taught at school, but you can acquire deeper knowledge of skills by reading skill books. Many books are available for you to read, ranging from skill books necessary to sustain safety in Mabinogi, as well as informative books that explain interesting facts about the towns and regions.

Game Features




Unlike the repetitive battle play which tends to be the norm in many existing online games, Mabinogi aims to deliver a previously unknown level of thrills and entertainment via a dynamic combat experience which unfolds around communal sharing, understanding and love, epitomizing the romance and mysteries of the world of fantasy.



 The twinkling stars and the moon which forms a perfect balance against the floating clouds… People enjoying mellifluous lullabies while sitting around a campfire… The delightful sounds of birds chirping in the early morning… And all the beauties of nature that all humans need while living their lives…

    People of Mabinogi can take advantage of nature’s versatility to make food and clothing. The unique features of your character and the thrill of battling against hostile wild animals add to action-packed stimulation Mabinogi offers.

    Users can compose and share music in Mabinogi. You can share your creative imagination with your loved ones by composing as well as performing your composition with friends. This well-defined, exclusive feature sets Mabinogi apart from other existing online games, and has been recognized and awarded Best Game of Korea in 2004 along with the Creative Techniques Award in Production and Scenario.




There are two major “Generation Updates” in Mabinogi, each of which is organized by seasons, that occur annually on a regular basis. Also, the popularity Mabinogi has earned is reflected in the voluntary updates of fan fiction or fan art, as well as comic strips that have been based on the contents of Mabinogi. The success of Mabinogi has been recognized through various awards including South Korea’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism—Best Game Award in 2004, and The Media Rating Board Award also in 2004.



In addition, Mabinogi has already caught the attention of MMORPG fans in the countries where the game is currently undergoing preparations for launch and has become known as one of the most anticipated upcoming games. Experience the thrill of Mabinogi, the new online RPG that is making waves not only in Korea but even throughout many countries worldwide!




Users can take advantage of the Rebirth System to grow their characters, and visit our Premium Shops and Item Shops to further develop those characters each to their own.

Character of Mabinogi


Express your creativity by building a character according to your preference of style and appearance; you can select clothing and accessories, as well as the color of your character’s skin and body frame depending on his/her age. In Mabinogi, you can even create a unique message that will illustrate the personality of your character.


Pets also fulfill their duties to help the masters by rescuing them from danger, carrying their heavy loads, and executing commands. You’ll make more pleasant memories when you travel with a loyal pet.


They don’t simply buy and sell items; they also remember you and provide guidance. They establish a personal relationship with the player and even remember how often you’ve visited them, if you’ve been a good worker, or even whether you treated them kindly or not. There are many ways to befriend an NPC… who knows, they might even give you special treatment.


You will be able to spot chickens and dogs around town, and find sheep and white spiders from which you can collect helpful resources and manufacture goods. Animals in Mabinogi come in a myriad of different forms, sizes, and types!


From common animals such as foxes and wolves to foreign monsters like the Undead, Goblins, and Kobolds; your encounters with all types of creatures won’t end until you reach the boss at a dungeon. Don’t let curiosity overtake your rationality. They are called monsters for a reason and you must proceed with caution.


Nao, who leads you to the world of Mabinogi… and the cute Camera Girl, who reports the present conditions of the game through a live screen, not to mention her loyal friend, the Camera Dog… The owl that runs errands for the townspeople… and the fat bird who is dozing off on the tree branch near the Chief’s house… Trace the stories of each of these characters and you will unfold a whole new side of Mabinogi adventures.

Mabinogi Sytems




Mabinogi’s 2.0 real-time combat system puts you in command of combination attacks, defense skills, counter-attacks, and special moves. All combat skills are interrelated; you MUST read your opponent’s moves and react accordingly to master the art of Mabinogi combat!

  One of the most unique qualities about an online game is that you can meet many people. However, they do not always stay by your side. But why travel alone when they leave? In Mabinogi, you can rely on a pet that will maintain its loyalty throughout all of your adventures. They serve multiple purposes to benefit you, such as engaging in battle along with you or even for carrying your load.
    Their helpful roles do not just end there. You can also log in as your pet and experience a different life as an animal; namely, you can develop faster and acquire skills that are only available for animals. Sometimes cute, sometimes helpful… experience the countless pleasures of a loyal companion!




One visit to the dungeons of Mabinogi and you will become aware of the difference. The Limitless Dungeon promises a new and thrilling experience with each descent into the dungeon depths.
Mabinogi’s dungeon system is a one-of-a-kind, innovative system that no other online game offers. In Mabinogi’s dungeon system, you are transported to different dungeons depending on the item you place on the altar. As you fight monsters in each passage, you will obtain a key that allows you to enter the next room, with the level of difficulty of monsters increasing with each room. Only the most experienced warriors will be able to reach the deepest depths of the dungeons!



Activities in Mabinogi are enabled through skills. A swordsman can learn the skills of a bowman, and bowmen can wield the magic of wizards! Anything is possible if you take the time to learn and train. Hard work and time are all you need to fulfill the requirements of each skill in order to master it.
Your appearance is not the only way to make your character unique and personal. The skills you learn and master also shape your character’s identity. Express yourself through your appearance, but define yourself through your abilities! As you continue to advance your skills, many new doors will open for you; you can earn more, learn more, and do more. Along with combat skills, Mabinogi allows its players to learn skills such as crafting, composing, and cooking amongst countless other skills. There is never a dull moment in Mabinogi.




Mabinogi offers the Spirit Weapon System which allows the user to build a Spirit Weapon by endowing a spirit into the weapon of choice. The user can name the Spirit Weapon, have a conversation with it as if it were human, and develop it further with the help of items.
    The Spirit Weapon will become stronger depending on the growth progress of the spirit, and the spirit will occasionally appear to help the user during a battle; the bright light surrounding the Spirit Weapon will also become brighter as the weapon becomes more powerful.
    The user can reap the benefits of the Spirit Weapon as the outcome accurately reflects the time and effort that were put into the development process. Spirit Weapons can assume the role of an idealistic comrade in your battles with your consistent will and support. Enter a battle with your own Spirit Weapon!

You can acquire multiple titles, so express your identity through them!




No two items have to be the same! Tweak and upgrade store-bought items and add your own twist to weapons and armor. Modify or Enchant your item until it's perfect for you!
    Items used faithfully for long periods of time increase in dexterity. Appropriate NPCs can modify items for you. Each NPC has a general modification skill and a special modification unique to each NPC. It's important to find out each NPC's specialty and style before asking for modifications.


   
Mabinogi has an innovative system that allows users to play instruments. To play an instrument, you need an instrument as well as a music score. Users can purchase prewritten scores, or even manually compose a song on a blank score.
    Users can play composed songs and have other players listen to it as well! This creative system is found exclusively in Mabinogi; yet another avenue for users to explore Mabinogi's endless possibilities.
    At first, you might have a hard time playing an instrument, but as you train the skill, you will become better over time. Although you can only compose short melodies in the beginning, you will gradually be able to create longer masterpieces. Compose a song and even throw a concert with your friends! Only available in the Fantasy Life of Mabinogi.

When you make your character, I recommend you select the servers Alexina or Mari because it has more people and its economy isn't as bad at the others.

This guy may, perhaps be the biggest douche on Yahoo answers.

He is another person that stereotypes Americans. Plus he's acting like celebrating the day we became independent is a bad thing, don't most countries have an independence day of some sort?
