Generals play hide and seek

Hi guys! I've been playing the game of the generals and hide and seek for quite some time now and then today the idea hit me... Why don't the generals play hide and seek?

I just observed that during game of the generals, the generals appear at Armia always at the same place. Near the gate and Carbunkle Wind. So everyone just sits there waiting for the generals to appear. Not very fun huh. Same thing at Kephra dungeon, the GMs give us the coords of the generals so we just all rush there and kill them.

An hour later, one CM will hide will give us clues and we all go find him or her. Upon finding the CM, what we do is TRADE him or her which renders our weapons that we painstakingly upped and anciented USELESS.

Wouldn't it be more fun if we hunted generals that we can kill instead of CMs that just sit around waiting to be traded? So here's my idea for this event...

At the given time, the generals and his minions will appear at a random location. There will be 3 clues and the clues will be given at 3 minute intervals so the hunting time will be longer than if the clues were given out all at once. The minions will give out scraps and the general will give out the 5 laks to whoever made the last hit.

I think this event will promote communication between guildmates or academy mates if group hunting is your thing. Or you can try to kill the general and all his minions alone if you want to keep all the booty for yourself (that is if nobody else comes hehe). Also, this event will give a whole new meaning to the word "hunting" in this game. And lastly, we can blast the hell out of the general when we finally find him instead of simply pushing the TRADE button.

A weapon that comes around

Today I'm gonna talk about my favorite weapon - the throwing weapon. As a BM, my main weapon is the Thron of Deimos. What I like best about throwing weapons is the ability to still use a shield while attacking your opponents. They are designed to give a warrior the ability to strike from a distance. An important counterbalance to weapons for hand-to-hand combat, throwing weapons of various types exist in different cultures. So here are some throwing weapons I researched about.


The spear, a long flexible pole with a sharp point attached, was a fairly international primitive throwing weapon. It evolved in several directions, into javelins—used for sport as well as warfare, pikes, and lances. One of the throwing weapons that has lasted, the spear also had a role in fishing and hunting, and fish spearing is still practiced today.



The sling is a weapon that has existed from ancient times. It is immortalized in the story of the young Jewish shepherd boy, David, who conquered the giant Goliath with this type of throwing weapon in the Old Testament story. A sling, which consists of a strap used to whirl and hurl a stone, is different from the class of throwing weapons called slingshots, which are a y-shaped stick with an elastic strap that can fling small stones.



Tomahawk is an Algonquian name for a hatchet that could be used in hand-to-hand fighting, but if a throwing weapon were needed, could double as a missile. The tomahawk was used by a variety of Native Americans, and were sometimes decorated, or included a pipe. As the use of firearms spread, tomahawks had less importance in warfare and more in ceremony.



Shuriken, which means “hand hidden blade,” known in the West as a Ninja Throwing Star, is a traditional Japanese weapon that is meant to be easily concealed. Although designed as a throwing weapon, the small 4- or 8-pointed shuriken can also be used for stabbing if necessary. This type of throwing weapon was considered a supplement to the larger, more powerful weapons a warrior would wield, such as a sword and spear. The art of the shuriken is a secret part of the curriculum of a number of martial arts.



Finally, the boomerang is a flat, curved piece of wood used as a throwing weapon in Australia, but similar weapons occur in Africa, India, and North America. The designs vary quite a bit, even within Australia. Naturally, the type of boomerang used as a throwing weapon is not intended to return to the thrower. The range is about 150 yards.

You know you're addicted...

Hello WYDians! I thought I’ll share with you all my top ten for this week’s topic so here it is!

You know you’re addicted to WYD Global when…

10. You always order “roasted chicken” at the restaurant. When your buddies ask why, you tell them so you won’t go hungry for 20 hours.

9. After ordering roasted chicken, you ask the waiter for a glass of red potion instead of red wine.

8. You are about to pay your bill and you realize you forgot your wallet and you ask the waiter if he could accept wcoins instead.

7. You receive your paycheck and you really wish you have a money cube with you.

6. You see your neighbor walking his dog and you tell him “Nice Fenrir! What’s its maturity?”

5. Your friend calls and he wants to see you, you tell him let’s meet at Aki.

4. Your neighbor comes to your house to borrow some sugar so you go “Wait, I’ll check my Cargo Guard”

3. You call the new guy at your office a NOOB because he doesn’t know how to operate the copying machine.

2. Your friends are playing basketball and you want to join so you repeatedly shout “PT ME! PT ME! PT ME!”

1. Your son asks you “Daddy, aside from birds what other animals are hatched from eggs?” and you reply “Pigs, boars, wolves, bears, tigers and horses”

So there you have it! I hope you all enjoyed reading this. See you all in-game!

New Season New Lair

Hi WYDians! Sorry for my long absence from the blogging circuit. Maybe you all are thinking I stopped blogging since I already won in season 1. Well, let me tell you something - I'm back! And since it's a new season of WYDian Journal I figured I get a new blog as well. So welcome to Puppy's New Lair! I know it ain't much right now but rest assured that this blog will constantly be improved.

I'd like to devote my first blog in my new lair to say a very very big THANK YOU to the GMs and CMs for picking me as one of the monthly winners for season 1. My new weapon really kicks butt (see image)! Thank you so much! And of course thank you to you (yes you). For taking the time to read my posts.

I think that's it for my first post. I promise exciting things to come in my next updates. See you in-game!
