Failed, but I'll still try on this one :3 I need to check my own VM to actually understand what you were saying (as I myself forgot what I typed in XD) Hobby..? Such a hobby exists huh w Ah, learning things from experience instead of being forced to learn, it is way better that I understand. This is probably because what you experienced is most likely related to your hobbies and such (< what I think) That works too, heck I prefer that (because at least I can experience what being a mod is like XD) I see, I was misled by the blog name XD Ah, though does he still have the power/rights to lead/manage ASL? Only japs? But I saw some games/movies reviews... or are those just reviews, they don't have games sections ? XD I wonder what makes AS more crowded than SH.. well blandness aside Spamming is not that difficult in all threads EXCEPT for those anime alphabets/chains/characters game, so much remembering that it hurts >_>. I even use google most of the times ._.. I find it quite difficult to spam in discussions instead of games when I first joined here XD The threads will be hell if me, dark angel, and uryunga all are spamming at the same time XD (happened once before) I see, so basically in technical terms...allows people to access/get easier access to AS? I'll google it later when I feel like it just to know more about it XD I wish I can delude myself completely if I'm on a stage doing something w Yes, it's an international school (though it also has a national section). Don't worry, none taken :3. I myself didn't actually study english, I was just exposed to a lot of english medias ever since I'm a toddler (only thing I studied was grammars and such) XD also, I'm not really an "indonesian guy", I only born in indonesia (I'm of chinese descent) But still, when talking to a teacher = I pay no attention to grammar at all ( eg : "I uh yes, I put there already" with a strange pronounciation) ww
Indeed, such bonuses are always very limited in stock. The Japanese media companies love this marketing strategy. I believe they should be sent along with the main item, i.e. the delivery service receives both items at the same time. Let's hope you won't be overtaxed. An anime club? I've only had bad experiences with those as they're usually filled by, um, how should I say it... half-baked otaku. I don't really consider myself an otaku (I don't even watch animu or read manga), but it's usually the members' attitude, rather than their tastes, that irk me. Not really a hypothesis; more like a research. It doesn't have to be 100% original, of course, as case studies are also common. And yep, there's a chance that your thesis may get rejected. Eh, can't say I exactly like them. A bit of :> :3 ^^ >_> <_< etc are nice every now and then, but I do indeed not really like seeing someone who talks, like, for example "OMGUSH o.O shes sew kawaiiiii xDxDxD wanne hugg her XDDDDD" -- you get the idea. Yeah, I understand what you mean. Courtesy and all that, haha. I try to trim the size, but it doesn't look like I've been very successful myself. Or at least I'm slowly getting there... still at 4700+ characters though.
Partially. That's not the only cause. As with many other countries (the US included), I assume some certain special interest groups -- mostly telcos -- are deliberately trying to hamper the Internet development in Indonesia. That way, they get to charge the same rates as other countries but for worse speeds. My speed... eh... very bad. It often gets to 20KBps or even around the teens when it's being an arse ;_; Ahaha, yeah, that happens. Laughter gets louder the more it echoes, after all. Also, that sounds kinda cute... except that -- I'm guessing -- all three were boys. No idea; I only know that Neptune seemed to have been her debut. And is that so? I guess that's at least better than, say, Chaos;Head's protagonist. He looks pretty heroic there alright, though I still decry the existence of a male main character at all in a franchise full of girls! And, well, you could simply make the protagonist a girl... and have the series become full-blown yuri. That should only fall to CERO-C (15+), imo. 17+ should allow nipple exposure (like in all those anime BDs), so long as genitalia isn't exposed (which would make it 18+). I think that's a rare case. When I get a package delivered, the deliveryman does ask me to open it up and ascertain that it's intact, but at my place instead of customs office. Only after I confirm that it's not damaged do I sign the receipt. Anime illustrations are almost always inferior imo, lol. And well... I'd take that! Tsunako is still (quite) young, and she could be pretty. (I've seen some illustrators and they actually are.) Same here -- most heroines I like are from games. I have a tendency to dislike mainstream stuff though lol. Do you have rl fujoshi acquaintances, btw?
We both failed I guess w It often starts as a hobby. Creating and maintaining a community makes you learn a lot, you know. Whether it's technical stuff like setting up and maintaining a website or dealing with various kinds of people you're not likely to meet irl. Mods are usually handpicked and then put onto a probation period, though, rather than given a test. True, copyright complaints. And no, the blog actually didn't have many anime. Its main focus was eroge and hentai movies, most of which were posted by Tessu and girlcelly. But yeah, Tessu's too busy nowadays. As about ASL, well, let's just say there are many internal considerations. If you mean western, no. Hongfire only provided Japanese material. One of the main problems is that it's hosted in the US, which makes it liable to the DMCA. Meant AS, though I'd like to see more activity at SH as well. I understand that spam charms as it easily raises your post count and doesn't require much thinking to post eh w. And I know right? Our spammers are, well, enthusiastic. As about servers, think of ASF as a country/state and its servers as roads. Bigger roads mean smoother traffic, and more roads mean more available routes for visitors to take, so they can choose the route closest to home rather than taking a detour (ergo less time needed). It's inevitable, really. Not that it's bad either. Having opinions is liberty! And Cambridge syllabus, is it an international school? I suppose that explains why your English is very decent (no offence, but most Indonesians I've seen online speak, uhm, below average English). And yeah, stubbornness is such a common trait that even kids can have it... Yes, that's a given; most students would always vote for cool/famous candidates. Those damn riajuu!
Well it's just a "hypothesis" of something, there's a bit high chance of the defense (anyone who is presenting the thesis) losing :| Oh I see :3 I was thinking that you don't use a lot of emoticons because you hate them, so I had to ask ^^; Uhg, I also failed (I reached 5796 characters, also due to my paragraphs I have to arrange the VMs in such a way that makes the total amount to 4 VMs) >< I have to say, my habit of replying "as much as" the other person replies to you might have a large factor on this long VM >_> I just feel bad if I reply to the other person in 1 sentence while they reply in 4 sentences or so ._.
True... but I can't imagine what the story will be like if it's changed to be similar to neptunia XD "very ecchi"..? Well do you consider this as very ecchi as this game probably only go this far Spoiler: "very ecchi" CERO says I heard some people saying they are called by the officers to visit the office and open the package by himself (to check) just so that he knows the officers didn't damage it. I really hope that doesn't happen to me :\ Well it's the original illustration from the anime producers w Tsunako daki... I chuckled a bit when imagining it XD also, I don't think much sleep would be done if I'm hugging a tsunako-art daki ww True but never had I took a liking to multiple heroines in a series (much less taking a liking to an anime heroine!), so DAL must have very good heroines ww Genga bishounen package... I would most probably sell it to fujoshis if I get one of those things XD I heard somewhere that the pre-order bonuses are very limited so I am very worried about it ;_; also I don't know how the merchants handle those bonuses, will they only be given out at the moment of shipping or will they hold the pre-order bonus along with my game... I asked several experienced people and they all have the same opinion as you so... cool :p Well those proxy services has been providing their service for quite a long time, and a lot of people use it so I guess that could be the case w Hmm... at least I would know when the tax for my item has been overpriced or not... Though I would prefer nothing happens to it at all... Man they know a lot of details about soccer stuff XD One of my relatives said that there is some kind of.. well.. "anime club" in his college in australia, I would definitely join that if it exists in the college that I am going to enter (chosen a few but not decided yet w)
I can handle it if they're "just forming opinions" of me, but it's difficult for me to endure it if they're "forming opinions of me when I am the main focus of them", much less if there's hundreds of them >< I have to use british spellings too when in school (my school follow cambridge syllabus I believe), but I don't use it when on the net like this w Reminds me of my old friend. He's so hardheaded that he refuse to acknowledge that he's wrong even if everyone in my class knows the truth (or "correct thing" w) >_> In my school though, they (teachers and such) only choose the captain and vice captain, the other members are nominated and the rest of the students vote. BUT students WILL always vote on people that they know well (or basically those "cool people") so... yeah w Wait.. THAT'S WHY OUR (Indonesia) INTERNET IS SLOW!?!?! Guh.... To think it's all because of a utilization of something.... I'm not sure about you but I consider 180 kb/s as very fast XD If I may ask, what's the average speed over there at your place? (I might self destruct but I'm still curious) Reminds me of an incident in my middle school where 3 people (me included there) laughed non-stop for 30 minutes because we kept looking at each others laughing face XD (there was some sort of event so no classes that day) One of my favorites too :3 Yep, a newly planned game (well a month or so). Maybe she has some kind of contract with CH?. True, however, DAL does not have a hetare protag (well he has no power at all early in the story, but still protects the girls and go as far as killing himself just to make sure they're safe) and he's also not oblivious to girls. Heck, he even got a moment of badassery in the story (I'll post the picture here if you don't mind seeing it) Spoiler: badassery
Alright, I'll try to make it short too or at the very least, make it 3 VMs XD Ah yes, the "costs" slipped through my mind >_> I honestly wonder why people would gladly use their money to provide a community for other people, a show of goodwill? I don't mind being a mod but I don't want to be a disappointment so I prefer if there's some kind of test to show whether I'm capable of being one or not. Taken down.. copyrights I assume :\ Well a guy said there are a lot of posts in exalpha by tessu (I am thinking of animes) but now tessu rarely posts and coro posts a lot of anime things instead. (I probably shouldn't have said "coro is the new tessu" >_>) You lead ASL now instead? Is it because he rarely shows up here? Did hongfire also provides games, movies, etc downloads? Cause if so then there's a higher chance of it getting a lot of copyright complaints. By we (in "Would be nice if we had more posts beyond spam and downloads") do you mean SH, or AS? I don't know why people don't post a lot in other sections myself w Though for threads like "what's your favorite (whatever it is)" I will only post once as it does asks my "favorite". Well sometimes I will post more than once if my favorite music,anime, etc changes. Having 60 S limit is actually a good idea now that I think about it as this site will be spammed to the max if the limit is just 10 S XD I'm not sure what these "servers" do but I'm guessing something like providing users with informations or something...
Well, DAL is essentially a harem series, and the heroines are all crafted to suit all kinds of tastes. I kinda feel the same with Neptunia (and some other series). But yeah, once you've fallen to the proverbial hole of buying heroine-based goodies, there's no turning back! And well, at least you didn't get a Genga Bishounen package, mm? Regardless of the date gap between the daki and the game, if you pre-ordered it, you should still get the bonus. The delay is on the delivery service's side rather than the retailer's. I wouldn't be surprised if those 'proxy' services you mentioned had a cosy relationship with the folks over at customs office. So long as they're not transporting dangerous goods, both parties are happy. Also, most people wouldn't really consider all the 'extra rates' at customs a form of corruption, so it might not surface to the media that much. Ah, yeah, most of the guys around me during junior and high school also had little interest beyond sports. Hope you'll get better friends with wider interests who can talk about and understand a broader variety of subjects when you get to college/university, though (I did). Yes, in a way, it's not so much a debate as it is similar to court proceedings in a lawsuit. You're a lawyer, your thesis is the defendant you must prove innocent, and the professors are both the jury and also the plaintiffs who will nitpick anything they can. Oh, no problem at all, lol. I use "w" frequently myself, though I can understand feeling a bit... intimidated (?) to see that your conversation partner uses very few to no emoticons. I'm fine with either, though. Also, I thought I could shorten it to just 2 VMs at most, but apparently it's well over 5000 characters. orz
It's hard to cater to Indonesians in terms of server locations -- most webmasters rent servers in either North America, Japan, or Europe, all of which are pretty far from Indonesia. So, on top of bad internet speeds, there's also the issue of distance. Some webmasters rent servers in Singapore to better serve Southeast Asian visitors, but they're (extraordinarily) expensive. Besides, Indonesia utilises the so-called IIX (Indonesia Internet eXchange) on its Internet infrastructure, something which allows faster load times between domestic Internet checkpoints at the expense of slower load times to foreign services. (Sorry if this paragraph is too technical -- just wanted to let you in on a bit of fact why Internet is very bad in Indonesia.) Hm, fair enough. And yeah, people's reactions to a joke can often be much funnier than the joke itself, haha. Tsunako is one of my favourites <3 That one is from CompileHeart too, iirc? Looks like Tsunako is eternally booked by CH -- not that I mind. As about DAL, I was put off by introduction because I don't like good-for-nothing protagonists. It's possible to be made an RPG if he goes away and it becomes an all-girls fiesta like Neptunia. Oh my. The game's rated D? Per CERO's ratings (D is 17+), that means the game could contain very ecchi (or violent) elements, short of only things like genitalia exposure or explicit intercourse which would make it Z (18+). Also, most customs employees would hesitate to damage a sealed box by opening it. If it has illustrations on it, it should make them assured that it doesn't contain drugs or explosives. A pity that the daki covers aren't illustrated by Tsunako, btw.
