Who needs Hidden Street >_> Good luck looking up something and responding in time within 10 seconds.

LF> IsaacGS xD

(chances are pretty good I can answer any of their questions, but the big issue for me is reacting really fast)

[MiSSHaku]

I wonder if its one winner per server or one throughout all servers.

Midnight - 6am, 8am - Noon for me.

Personal visit and chat time with a GM

WHOA.

I PRAY people with a masterful grasp of the English language, satisfactory competence, and the understanding of current GMS events and community emotions (aka, the perfect ambassador), wins the trivia. Just for this.

But lord knows 9/10 of those who win will be all "omg GM can u haste me? can you hs and bless me plz? u are so kewl! ty for talking 2 me!"

*Facepalms*

Personally, I find it really hard to type lik dis bcaz it just not nataral to me. Chances are anyone with a decent dose of english wouldn't have to waste time thinking about the words they type anyways and spell correctly (unless their diplomatic skills suck).

Even if that happens I think you have way to much expectation of that conversation... It'll probably be like that one awkward conversation we've all had with some passing person at work who was just a little to emotional about his/her day (like when you see a stranger and say "Sup" and they actually think that's a gateway to a conversation instead of a greeting)... not some question and answer segment...

Don't forget these people need to have Maplestory knowledge. Wipes out about 99.7% of the community.

Where art thou Isaac?

The only problem I can see is that the GM will get so many replies that the first few replies are not going to be accessible because of the scrolling cut off.

I'm pretty sure they can track the chat records.....

[Asumi]

This is gonna be interesting!! I definetely want chat time with the GM! **** the maple points!

[Combattente]

I MUST WIN.. I MUST... TESPIA.. ASK.. OF..

Please, everyone, if you win, ask about it

[Sn1perJohnE]

I can see the main draw for some on SP will be talking to the GM a-@ Hope they remember to SS the conversation :O

[Bacon]

I hope they make hard questions, such as "From what ancient civilization is the Flash Jump symbol derived from?" instead of "What color is Snail?"

[Orit]

If you win, try to remember the GM's know nothing. So it's no use asking them "when will we get <new content name>?" or "will there ever be <desired feature>?" or anything else for that matter.
Use your chat time to inform them of what the community wants, and hope they actually pass it on (highly unlikely, but, *shrug*, can't hurt to try).

[Jedward]

This will be insane.

[Kirov]

I can imagine this event being a big flop. I don’t think the questions will be good.

It could've been worse. I remember reading about the SEA version of this a while back. They made the players answer with weather megaphones or something, lol (point is they had to use nx).

They made people answer with the weather effects all the time for lots of events. I don't know if they still do. But at least you see GM's in SEA all the time, better than GMS.

[Wiire]

Pics or it didn't happen.


One is not wrong unless proven wrong.

Eh, even if you're buddy with a GM it'll say they can't be found. It will only tell their channel. (Not sure how that works with the newer buddy organization, didn't have a GM in BL for a while. xD)

Neither can you track them even when their whisper are on.

I know this from eMS. ;K

Edit: At above, there's been events in gMS where you had to respond with Smegas in order to win.

[CarrionCrow]

Why the fixation about GM's? It confuses me a bit.
After all they are just low grunts at Nexon with little to no information about the stuff most of us want to know. Participate in their events if it float your boats, but don't expect them to give you any real information outside of what they are there for, because they are lacking in that department. Hell look at how they play in their own test server.

[Tykian]

In a more serious manner.....

10 seconds of GM chat being open = 10 seconds open of hackers = 10 seconds open for hackers to spam whisper them.
iWin nao?

Yes, now you win.

I promise if I win in Bera I will relay only concerns, and not even ask for skills, mostly because I don't really train anymore, t'would be pointless.

I MUST WIN.. I MUST... TESPIA.. ASK.. OF..

Please, everyone, if you win, ask about it

As much as you know I hate Tespia, I promise to bring it up, as well as bring up some concerns about the way it currently works.

Assuming I win, but then again, I'm not in Khaini, have fast fingers, and know my way around maple, I've got a shot.

eMS =/= gMS


I'm definitely bringing up Tespia though. I want it back, it's a good idea if people didn't have the "OMG I R AW3S0M3 CUZ I JST GT 2 LVL 162 CUZ I AW3S0M3!!!!!1111"
Just make it like Maple, except with upped EXP and Droprate.
That's all I'm asking for.

You totally are right, and I totally agree with you.

Too bad, NEXON keeps not listening to my suggestions for Tespia. It's obvious they won't want to have another Tespia round like the other ones where people spammed fake reports, but if they won't listen to my suggestions, then nothing will be done.
