Title: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on September 27, 2008, 05:22:55 PM Seeing as my main character is without a klan atm! I'm going to go ahead and setup a new DDDB klan. My thinking is this one will be called DDDBバベル. The Japanese characters mean Babel, same as Shinjuku Babel, which is where the hometown will be. The "Babel" part is also a play on words of such, referring to the klan chat channel! Basically this will be a no bullshit open chat klan, so Babel seems appropriate (Babel is also a verb, look it up if you don't know it)
Anyone from anywhere is welcome, and free to speak in whatever language they like. Though for now only Japanese and a minimum number of English/Latin characters seem to be available fonts wise (well last I checked) I'm also planning to make everyone who joins a Sub Master. This way any klan mate can add a player they know / come across to the klan on the spot. Sub Masters can also kick members I think (honestly they shouldn't be able to in my opinion) ...so the only downside is you might get accidentally kicked now and then by a careless Sub Master. If so we'll add you back asap, but please try not to kick players because it momentarily lowers the klan level. No player will be officially kicked for any other reason than spamming complete nonsense into the klan channel at rapid fire speeds for long durations of time. Possibly Sub Masters can't kick other Subs, so we may be all set, but If some player takes it upon themselves to delete everyone but the Master some day, I will have to reconsider the all Sub policy (there wouldn't likely be a way of knowing which player did it afaik) Finally, this isn't necessarily a temporary klan, but it isn't the DDDBジャンプ(Jump) klan. If there is large demand at some point I'll make the Jump klan again home-towned in 3rd for beginner support. Spill overs from Jump will then have to join Babel (if it ever got to be that popular) So in conclusion, you'll have to make the journey to Babel in order to join the klan via the Babel Terminals. If someone can see you online (in their friendlist for example) you won't have to. This isn't so hard these days. Around Act 3 or 4 you'll get 5 sample Ariadne's Threads... at that point I recommend homepointing in Babel and using the threads to teleport back to 3rd (they only go to places around 3rd -- 'cause they're samples) ...You might also make the journey before completing Act 3... you're half way there by the time you finish up in the Inugami/Shikigami pass. On the plus side, there are very few Babel klans, so finding the advert should be easy. Also it's much less of a burden to the Master to keep an advert posted in Babel. I won't be able to make it to Shinjuku until the war event resets itself after Midnight tonight. The Babel klan key is pretty expensive, but I'm pretty well loaded these days, so it shouldn't hurt too much. In the meantime, please discuss these terms, and let me know how you feel.

Basically this will be a no bullshit open chat klan, so Babel seems appropriate (Babel is also a verb, look it up if you don't know it) The Language Arts Nazi in me wont let me let this go... :face15: When spelled "babel," it can only be a noun. "Babble" is the verb-form, though both spellings can be used to denote idle chatter/talking, but in this case Babel is just a homophone to "babble," though "Babel" is usually pronounced "bay-ble." http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?babel002.wav=Babel Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on September 27, 2008, 06:12:05 PM But isn't the old trope about the Tower of Babel and all. I think babble is more like baby babbling. I still think babel makes sense... so call it a pun if you prefer (despite the fact the Babel part is in kana so it can swing either way technically!)
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on September 27, 2008, 08:42:17 PM I pulled five armor tops from the Ueno war lottery. That'll pay for the klan key. The god's smile upon us I guess :smokin:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on September 28, 2008, 05:56:46 AM Ok, klan is all set... That's about all I can do for now :smokin:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: Maverynthia on September 28, 2008, 11:06:38 PM It'll take me a while to join since I don't think I can make it to Babel yet..much less know where it is...
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on September 29, 2008, 01:23:44 AM Nothing is ever too far away from Babel in IMAGINE. That's why it's an ideal place to park your klan. To get there from 3rd, you just take the only exit out of Suginami into Nakano. Then once in Nakano take the only exit out, and now your in Shinjuku Babel :razz:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 06:33:36 AM I've been seriously considering joining this Klan but only if there are any active European members or at least members that can play with someone in that timezone.
Thanks. :smile: Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 07:07:56 AM Well I play during all times :wink:
I'm just not a super clock puncher player though :sweatdrop: The truth is all impromptu klans take a little while to get the ball rolling. I'd bet in the long run of things this klan will end up being tops for players who wanna play on the Japanese servers but also be able to talk to people in English or their close friends in their own language. So far a handful of people have expressed interest to me about joining and even asked me to set the klan up. But technically the current roster is just me myself and I (spread across a number of alternate characters :) That said the klan level just feeding off my alts is decent enough to get the core klan bonuses stats wise. Some players will just have to read our klan charter and decide for themselves if it sounds right for them. And be some of the first to step out on the limb and seed the new klan. I'm happy to play with anyone in the klan if you install gtalk on your computer and just let me know when you feel like playing (I'm available more often than not) ...just PM me your gmail address and I'll add you to my gtalk contacts. Right now players with alternate characters should consider joining the klan. And if you're already in a klan, I recommend friendlisting as many players that you play with as you can. Then when you change klans you won't loose the people you play with. If one mid level player joins we should have a klan emblem any day. If two the emblem should be available immediately. I still have one mid-level alt in Globe I might pull out soon to boost the klan's level some more. Bottom line, unless you have a very close allegiance to the top tier players of a particular klan or have your own small close knit klan, there is no reason you shouldn't join this klan. It's in your best interest :hearton: I'd really like to see as many international players as possible. The only problem with the old DDDB klan was it was a little too North American top heavy :rainbow: In other words... it's still a little early, but please by all means jump in :smokin: You'd be surprised how many will follow once one or two others do :smug: Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: Throdax on October 04, 2008, 07:21:05 AM Good Morning
Well, I tried to join DDDB just now, but I always get mixed up with the buttons -_- so no ideia if the app whent thru. Can you check if it whent thru? Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 07:22:25 AM I'll login just for you and see if you win the first member prize :biggrin:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: Throdax on October 04, 2008, 07:24:36 AM Does that imply whining cookies or something of the likes? :biggrin:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 07:25:00 AM Sorry, try again :smug:
Don't be embarrassed to send a message with both buttons :wink: Or if you hurry and post your game name I'll add you directly! PS: I'll come up with a prize -- for real... Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: Throdax on October 04, 2008, 07:26:24 AM If I could write kanji (is it kanji?) I would post my name. :)
We could arrange a meeting place in the babel if you are there. Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 07:37:03 AM Thanks for the heads up!
I'm sure to look into it, I'm getting really tired of logging everyday and having no one to do dungeon runs with. :doh: Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 08:06:59 AM Ok ShinByakki, no excuses now... we found you a European :rainbow:
We should have another eventually as well -- IMAGINE killed his machine the other day :crying: That's what you get for playing with Devils :smokin: Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: Throdax on October 04, 2008, 08:19:20 AM Yup, that is me the european, GMT +1 atm.
Pleasure to meet you all :) Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 08:33:01 AM Prize upon request turned out to be a 3 slotted Kotetsu... +10% damage and +4 or 5 attack. I forget :redface:
I can probably get it up to +15% and +6 or 7 attack without much risk. But it can always snake-eyes :crying: Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 08:59:14 AM Awesome, all we need now is to power level you. :biggrin:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 09:01:48 AM His level isn't that bad :wink:
Btw, if anyone has sent a petition, feel free to post to let me know, and I'll add you just as soon as possible (if I'm awake) Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 09:07:21 AM As long as we can run Silver runs, I'm fine, though leveling that damned Immature Kerberos is going to be a pain the neck... :sick:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 09:09:24 AM Yeah, I've been leveling mine to 40 for months now. I'd hoped to run it thru Gold with some 5x incense after lv35, but with all the unnecessary klan drama I haven't been able to get a solid party together :frown:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: Throdax on October 04, 2008, 09:11:47 AM I'm level 28 atm, waiting for 30 to run act 12, so I'm not that low level ;)
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 09:16:33 AM Oh, that's great then, hopefully we can get enough members soon for some Gold runs, but I'm hoping for too much since we also need devils qualified to run it and also those mashou on equipment. :doh:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: Throdax on October 04, 2008, 09:21:47 AM Define qualified demons
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 09:24:16 AM A demon that has at least the following--
>Fog Breath >Bufula/Maha-Bufula/Bufudyne (Although too demanding I think?) >Agilao/Maha-Agilao/Agidyne (Although too demanding I think?) >Hellfire or >Absolute Zero ? >Sama-recarm >Mediarahan >Maha-Tarukaja >Maha-Sukukaja >And so on. :biggrin: Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: Throdax on October 04, 2008, 09:26:18 AM A demon that has at least the following-- >Fog Breath >Bufula/Maha-Bufula/Bufudyne (Although too demanding I think?) >Agilao/Maha-Agilao/Agidyne (Although too demanding I think?) >Hellfire or >Absolute Zero ? >Sama-recarm >Mediarahan Well, this is what Revive taught me at least. :rolleyes: I got one, with mediarahan (I think) maha-bufula (or bufu), maha-agilao (or agi), absolute-zero, and a lighting AOE from oberon :) Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 09:28:20 AM I'm sure you're good to go! :tongue:
Currently; I'm aiming for a Gold qualified Gdon with the following skills -- Maha Rakukaja Maha Tarukaja Hellfire Agilao Bufula Sama Recarm Mediarahan Fog Breath But, first, Immature Kerberos at level 40... :doh: Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 09:29:54 AM Probably many of the Revive players will migrate to this klan. Many of them were in the old DDDB klan before the Revive masters hijacked / deleted it. I don't play with the players in Revive because they should have more of a backbone than to've joined that klan after that. But anyone who wants in is welcome in this klan now.
At the time it seemed like digitaldevildb.com would never be able to come back. But it's not like anything in the world can justify that sort of behavior in the slightest :eek: PS: Please don't talk about Revive any more, or I'll have to split the thread. This thread is about DDDBバベル. Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 09:33:44 AM Sorry, I just meant to say what I was taught about Gold, but anyway, we have +8 candidates so far?
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 09:36:36 AM Sorry, I just meant to say what I was taught about Gold, but anyway, we have +8 candidates so far? The klan is currently not yet 8+ members strong -- if that is what you mean??Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 09:58:35 AM Oh, I meant, how many people we have right now that are willing to join. :smile:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 11:15:48 AM That have talked to me including you guys.... conservatively I'd say around five to eight not including myself. But the actual number will probably grow fairly rapidly (in day to day terms) once people start making the jump like Throdax.
Bear in mind the foreign community isn't massive. But it's mostly peer pressure when it comes to switching klans. I think there seems to be a falling out amongst the Japanese client players, so there is a good chance we'll end up the natural place to consolidate everyone that remains. Which should amount to a viable playing community. The other klans just don't have a squeaky clean history, and were never designed to be open/free to all players. That is probably their detriment. There has to be at least one klan like that, and so this is all we got :smokin: I also wanna add at this time, there is no pressure to join or not-leave this klan. It's just here for your convenience. PS: If you are a long time player and you have all the people you play with in your friendlist. Then really you should just decide if you like the concept of this klan compared to the alternatives, and join us if you do. Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 11:45:27 AM Oh, that's great then, hopefully we can get enough members soon for some Gold runs, but I'm hoping for too much since we also need devils qualified to run it and also those mashou on equipment. :doh: It's not all that complicated. People just freak out about all that stuff so they can beat it in a mindless 15mins or less (so they can do it all day until their arms fall off until the end of time) Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 11:58:07 AM You got my hopes up now. :wink:
I really hope we can do Gold runs soon. Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 12:04:36 PM You got my hopes up now. :wink: I really hope we can do Gold runs soon. Oh I didn't say that, but it's definitely doable if you know what you're doing. Personally I'm not all that keyed up for running Gold at my level. But I would like to get a decent party together to help level my Kerberos pup. All he has is fog breath kinda, so it would take a full party with at least a couple heavy hitters :sweatdrop: You know, you want a decent time if you're burning 5x incense :wink: A lot of players with MMORPG-itus won't run a dungeon unless they can do it like cranking out sausage at a sausage-factory :tongue: I still enjoy silver dungeons with a lean party. Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: Throdax on October 04, 2008, 12:32:05 PM Well, I got bored with grind fests in the era of the MUDs, hence I like to play in party, not so much grind and more environment. :smile:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 04, 2008, 12:33:15 PM Silver is fine enough for my level 35 Kerberos I think. :rolleyes:
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 04, 2008, 01:57:14 PM Too be honest, I never grind. I get bored real quick if a dungeon is too easy with a party. But that's just me. I play for fun. I have goals, but don't even dream about getting out of the 50s. Hell I'll be impressed if I ever make it into the 50s :smokin:

Oh well, fun is what matters, not being high level. :tongue: Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 05, 2008, 12:08:28 PM So ShinByakki I don't think we've met in-game. What is your char names / when are you online?
With three we could easily run most Silver dungeons if no one else is on :sweatdrop: Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 05, 2008, 01:15:49 PM I can go online now, my character's name is ShinByakki in Kanji -新百季
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 05, 2008, 01:38:35 PM I think you're online... I sent you a friend-vite, but you seemed to be afk :sweatdrop:
Guess I'll kinda keep trying for a little while (my name is/was ベサメ ムチョウ) Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 05, 2008, 02:08:45 PM All we need now is to link up with each other, Throdax. :smile:

I'm available via Gtalk if anyone want's to play with a party of three or more. I might be busy or out for up to an hour (always better to send me a heads up in advance) Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: ShinByakki on October 06, 2008, 01:04:12 PM I'm ready to party anytime now if you want to.
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 07, 2008, 09:03:05 AM Very bad weather today. I might be unavailable (satellite internet)
Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 10, 2008, 11:33:28 AM We have an emblem now :biggrin:
Only thing is now there are fewer starter emblems, so we don't have the one I wanted yet :confused: I see more emblems are now added at the next klan level. Hopefully we'll see it then. I wanted an 8, but we'll have to settle on a B for now (you gotta admit it's pretty close) The 8 looks like infinity / the theoretical height of a tower to heaven... and well B is also the first letter in Babel :tongue: The numbers go up to 3 so far. Hopefully we'll get the rest at lv4. Though I suppose there is a chance it will only go to 6 or so. PS: I'm going to do the solo half of Act7 sometime today (before the war tonight) ...If enough players are on I will finish it up too. Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: yksehtniycul on October 16, 2008, 06:27:32 PM Looks like ShinByakki left the klan. We lost some points, but the emblem should be back in a day or less.
I talked to him last night about playing later that day, so I dunno / haven't heard anything. I aplogize the klan hasn't taken on more members lately. There just isn't anyone else actually playing it seems. It's too bad some of the old DDDB players aren't playing anymore :crying: I marked Shin off the roster until he comes back. Title: Re: New Sponsored Kerberos Klan 「DDDBバベル」 Post by: Maverynthia on October 16, 2008, 09:06:27 PM I still have my account I just have problems playing on my laptop (my favorite place to play) as the game crashes when I move between outdoor zones.
