Andal Ampatuan

2009-11-24T10:27:00.000-08:00

In this picture
"An elementary school dropout who barely finished Grade 4, Andal Ampatuan owes his rise to power in part to his cozy ties with the military.

The relationship started way back during the Marcos regime when he was still vice-mayor of Maganoy (now Shariff Aquak) in Maguindanao. At the time when the town of Maganoy was almost about to be overrun by the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), Ampatuan placed his bet with the military.

The military, in turn, cultivated the alliance by supporting Ampatuan and arming his vigilantes. The relationship was such that when the Estrada government waged all out war against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in the late 90s, Ampatuan was picked as the ideal candidate to beat Candao, a suspected MILF supporter.

Ampatuan easily trounced Candao in the 2001 polls. Candao later complained that government troops refused to allow his poll watchers into the precincts of some towns.

A military source privy to local political dynamics in Maguindanao said the support continues to this day. "

2009-08-23T13:35:00.001-07:00

I havent really ~~botting~~ playing GE these past few days. Yeah, forgive me on that coz of the laptop where i play GE with got busted for overheating and eventually breakdown after ive been away for 4days, oh well almost five days, but whatever. I got a new one. “i hate playing GE on my desktop!!!”

~~It will be TMI if i will tell you how many SS,OCP,DS,BDR,sun stone and such i looted while iam having a tan at Berjaya. I just can’t believe that they charge that much. whewwwwww.~~

So expect me ~~botting and annoying players/spreading lol!~~ playing server wide. ~~To those people who keep on reporting my minions at low level maps,~~ “i say try and try until you run out of (3)”.

But seriously, ~~its auto answer!~~ at least you tried. Thank you for the effort ~~trying to right click and hit report as botter~~.

LOL! this is such a boring post!

Oh btw, i don’t think i got the correct family names of those people listed above. Correct me please.

Excuse me, let me turn on my gears and start ~~botting,~~ playing GE.

I will be back after 12hrs.

Slow

2009-08-16T15:16:00.001-07:00

I’ve notice that the game is really slow these past few days, even i myself failed to ~~bot~~ play Granado Espada quite a while.

So i’ve been ~~botting~~ playing in Ancient Territory still, LOL!!! And trust me im really bored/done/thinking if iam going to get another 30days of that premium home service.

I have made a checklist of what happened to my family these past few days :

1. Got banned from IAH forum checked!

2. Yagu thank you for the infraction, you ribless kite! checked!

3. I got Arnis for my Soho the Wind, checked! (8USD/100M)

4. Got my PADI open water diver certification, checked! (yeah, this one is on me)

Bromance

2009-08-05T17:18:00.001-07:00

Yeah, that was Inanna and his new ~~boyfriend~~ squad LeeTL. I just dunno who is ~~top~~ grinding and who is ~~bottom~~ leeching, or maybe they are doing both.

He says hi to me when i was there taking there sweet fuggly date picture.

I decided to leave them, right after he says hi because i don't wanna disturb there bromance.

R.I.P

2009-08-04T08:47:00.001-07:00

Winchesterx

2009-07-28T12:49:00.001-07:00

Since i was ~~botting~~ power levelling my character in Bahama, Ancient Underground Cave, I receive a lot of ~~bot report~~ complain from other players inside the game. They are complaining that i was kill stealing (KS) them.

OK KS my a** but i don’t really give a damn thing about it. It’s a paid dungeon always remember that.

And this guy/girl Winchesterx, being a ~~dick~~ very impatient player, he/she claims i was Kssing him/her. And demand that i look for another spot. Ok whatever.

F.Y.I : ive been ~~botting~~ on that same spot for 11days already. Iam prolly been there before you get your Home Premium Buff, lol

Sad because i was force to ask Tamanegi to expell me at Pacman, damn, now iam going to loose the colony buff for Tierra Amor, that sucks, big time. But iam happy too, coz i dont want to be with people with less judgement anyway.

Now iam not going to blame why Solazzio and his brother Velveto leave the faction.

Thats my new best friend right there in the pic, which is the reason for this post. lol

Omg, i notice that levelling at AT is slow these days, i wonder why.

From Dusk til Dawn - 30days

2009-07-20T02:01:00.001-07:00

Warning: boring post!

I just got home premium service average - this thing gives you access to paid dungeons such as forgotten territory and ancient territory, +20% EXP boost, STANCE EXP, and drop rate for 30days.

Now im going to BAHAMA BASE CAMP and ~~go botting~~ train my Figther, Soho the Wind, and Catherine Summoner .

Left Out

2009-07-18T14:13:00.000-07:00

Today i feel so left out by my faction mates :(

Why? coz everyone was already high level and such, and they have this really nice armors and equipments to boot.

Well im trying but i think im not trying hard enought. I really wanted to get that 12symbols without spending real money to buy vis on the game.
And if i have that 12symbols that Queen Hamam like in exchange of a constellation recipe, i would really wanted to make a constellation sword or polearm.

Though i tried to scout for how much would it take to get those symbols, i got offers from 1-5billion vis (all 12 symbols). And i was frustrated/devastated that i cannot afford it and i don't think that it is really wise to buy those. I was also reminded by my friend SMITHandWESSON that what iam gonna get from Hamam is just a recipe and i still have to spend for crafting that recipe, and God knows how much will it cost me.

Another thing, as you already know, The Pacman Faction is just a small clan. We are 7active players strong, all experts/masters. All i know is that FL wanted the faction to keep it small just like it is now.

Faction Leader : Blacklisted - he dont really talk too much in the faction chat

Deputy : Wahriet - this guy likes raids
: Tamanegi - he always answer my questions

Members : Solazzio - bother of Velveto
: Velveto - brother of Solazzio
: Psychedelica - this is Legionis account extension
: and me Colbourn - im prolly the most noob and weak of all.

This left out thing started with 2days ago, when they do mission/raid without them asking me if i wanted to join them. Oh well they would have prolly think that im not instrested to join them, or they dont want me to join them at all coz they just dont like me. i dont know.

And then, i remember, when solazzio's brother Velveto joined the faction,

Blacklisted :who is this Velveto guy!!!
Wahriet : he is brother of Sola.
Blacklisted : next time you going to invite people in the faction, ask me first!

Now i was thinking, when i joined the faction, does he says, something like this?
Or i dont know, you see i ask Tamanegi to invite me in the faction. So i dont know, they might not really like me. I hope iam wrong. Trying to keep my eyes close.

The Pacman Faction

2009-07-15T10:09:00.001-07:00

Everyone is asking me why Pacman Faction?
- hell NO! this one got nothing to do with Manny "pacman" Pacquiao

ok, well The Pacman Faction is just a temporary hitman faction.

we are your superheroes for hire at Granado Espada SEA

in celebration of our new faction we have been granted permission to post this music video by parokya ni edgar here on this blog

and to all those people who can't understand Tagalog, well basically the music video tells the story of a superhero for hire. And that's were The Pacman Faction came in.

The Pacman Faction is here to save the day.
No need to worry about pioneers kill stealing your precious spot.
No need to worry about having to lost a colony during Colony Wars every Sunday.
No need to worry about having troubles during high level raids.

The Pacman Faction is here to serve you. ^__^

P.S. we take vis/feso or loots (but we take the first pick).

Im Back - The Race to Master

2009-07-15T03:30:00.000-07:00

After a long period of time, im now blogging again.
Oh well, im back playing Granado Espada yet again.

Well im happy because i will be able to level up my Colbourn Family this time around to Master level.

Then what is the Master level? How to become one?

Getting to Master:
1. Level your characters to [Expert Lv. 10] 100%
2. Buy an item [Promotion Scroll – Master] from the Premium Item Shop
3. Talk to one of the Masters in the Master Room (available via all the cities)
4. Choose [2] Character Promotion
5. Choose Yes upon asking for confirmation
6. A congratulatory message will be broadcasted server wide! Congratulations!

Upon getting Master Level, your newly promoted character will be given 2 Defense Rating and 2 Attack Rating.

And im really excited to get those 2 additional AR/DR. Yay! now i can survive those high level raids and mobs. And that would explain why i had to transfer from one faction to another. I had joined ChronoQuantum Faction and now im a member of The Pacman Faction. Yeah, i know it is a new faction but we are trying to make this faction small as possible to make room for totally raiding family and the distribution of loots will be given to everyone. Since we only have 7members at the moment we can have raids everyday and everyone can get loots right away. So everybody happy.

Takhisis Faction

2009-03-18T14:28:00.000-07:00

grabe we are so going back from we all started. The Takhisis Faction!!! na papa english tuloy ako dahil sa excitement.

after Outcasts Faction ive been to Defiance but di ko maintindihan ang mga tao dun, iba ang salita nila. Mga German daw sila, pero pinoy naman ang FL nila si reZiros(dunno if i spelled his name right). Patawad po.

at saka kay Horus nga pala, yo, forgive me coz i wasnt able to say goodbye to you when i leave the faction. we can still do pvp before we go to bed.

and to

and Breviary

i hope to see you guys in TK!

2009-02-22T21:38:00.000-08:00

2 weeks na kaming walang colony.

nakakatamad pala mag pa level ng walang colony, lagi na lang kami talo sa colony war.
nang hihinayang ako kasi sayang ang time na in-iinvest ko sa game na ito. Tapos at the end of the day wala pa din.

Last week nawalan ng colony ang all star saka kami na outcasts, ewan ko kung bakit pero ang nakikita ko lang na dahilan ay kulang talaga sa ma ganda na gamit/weapons/armors ang mga players ng alliance. This game is really expensive to maintain.

im getting sad, no matter how much i try, lagi kaming talo sa colony war. Naiisip ko tuloy sana sumali na lang ako sa eminence dati nung na invite ako ni brotherhood.
sayang, i could have become a stronger family if i accept that invitation. //emo takot kasi ako ma discriminate, alam ko kasi na maraming galit sa eminence dito sa pinas.

But anyway about pala sa eb ng OC at AS, ayos toh, ang saya ng eb!!
ito ang pinaka masaya ng eb na na puntahan ko. Si azuren galing pala kumanta.
yung mga pictures natin, asan na kaya?

ang puna ko lang sa mga taga AS, parang di din sila nag kakaintindihan sa loob ng faction nila. Hay, observation ko lang. and how they are talking about yogen and bonita, oh well i dont know them, but it turns out that there is a favorite and non favorite in the faction or friends and not friends. As far as i heard and understood there comments about the two people mention above. omg i might get in trouble for this.

but one thing i can say, this is just a game.

people can still be friends even if one choose to be royalist or republican!!!

this is only a game let us not forget that please.

and to my alliance, pls do not trash talk eminence, they are good coz they are really training hard/raids and such, and spending money A LOT!.

AND TO ALL PLAYERS, OF GRANADO ESPADA, DO NOT BE JUDGEMENTAL! PLS GROW UP! DO NOT LET YOUR EGO EATS YOU!

if i do have money i could have bought myself nice weapons/armors for my main characters. and have myself do raids and loot good items i wish i can do that SERIOUSLY! HAHAHA........

i know we dont have a colony, but we still have each other as friends in game and real life. no one can take that away.

Katovic Snowfield

2009-01-26T19:33:00.000-08:00

this is our first colony.

now what?

Outcast Faction?

2009-01-21T10:12:00.000-08:00

so from WarGodz to Outcast eh?

alright ok, i can go with that. i still miss my other mates from WG though, kelan kaya kami magiging complete sa loob ng outcast. si pie wala pa OC. si ron wala pa din. im asking myself kung they are going to join OC.

how about ate snoopy and kuya lam?
ano kaya masasabi nila?

and whatever happened to other guys from WG? are they going to come with us and join the new faction? as far as i could remember, this one happened before, ano to parang dejavu lang? ganun!!

ang tagal ko na nawala. and i know that i got a lot of catching up to do.
when i came back mic is already a GP item, and i wos like omg!!!!!
so i really expect that lot of things happened on this game when i go offline.
and i wos expecting too that people will learned from there mistakes and never ever gonna do that mistake again. EVER!!! Damn......

i have nothing against anyone but i wanted to point out that in order to have a good faction, we need to have a good leader first. walang iwanan no matter what happened.

and i hope, everyone at WG will manage to migrate to the new faction. and i want everyone. as in lahat dapat. or better yet, why not make a new faction instead. not just a recon.

like a new faction with the colaboration of members from WG and OC.

a new faction, a new start SANA.......!!!!

para naman maiba. saka i got tired of hearing same faction over and over again.

res assured na my WarGodz identity wont vanish.

and i leave you a question, is this the best you can do?
i know you can do better than that. lets wait in see.

Dying Game?

2009-01-15T12:31:00.000-08:00

Na pansin ko lang, sobrang onti na lang yata ng mga players ng Granado Espada.

when i was at Katovic Snowfield, aba, parang solo ko ang mapa, alang tao, unlike before.

nag quit na kaya sila? or ibang game na ang nilalaro? or baka busy lang? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm at isa pang hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

tapos yung mga nasa friends list ko, ang unti na ang nag o-online, it makes me sad.

ito nga pala yung picture nung nag GE Ph community meeting, sensya na, now ko lang upload.

ito, enjoy nyo picture ng taga bach at rembrant na nag attend.

2009-01-14T11:24:00.001-08:00

Twilight OST Full Track Listing

2008-11-22T07:58:00.000-08:00

now that you've seen the movie, then its time for some amazing songs from the official Twilight OST .

the full track listing of Twilight the Movie

* Muse - "Supermassive Black Hole"
* Paramore - "Decode"
* The Black Ghosts - "Full Moon"
* Linkin Park - "Leave Out All the Rest"
* Mute Math - "Spotlight" ("Twilight" mix)

Linkin Park's Leave Out All the Rest is one of my favorite from the movie OST.
here are the lyrics of the song. It's a sad song that talks about life and death. and i was thinking that maybe when i die, i want this song to be played.

I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when I'm done here?

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest, don't be afraid
I've taken my beating, I've shared what I made
I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through
I've never been perfect, but neither have you

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

I can't be who you are

Twilight the Movie relase date November 21, 2008 worldwide

2008-11-16T17:26:00.000-08:00

Twilight by Stephenie Meyers.

Read this excerpt from the review.

"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat."

As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.

yeah its confirmed Twilight will be shown n November 21, 2008 worldwide. and that means four more days till Twilight day. lolz....
here are some information about the movie.

Rated: PG-13 for some violence and a scene of sensuality

Runtime: 2 hrs

Genre: Dramas

Theatrical Release: Nov 21, 2008 Wide

Synopsis: Based on the best-selling book series by Stephenie Meyer. BELLA SWAN has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high... Based on the best-selling book series by Stephenie Meyer.

BELLA SWAN has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and sent Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful EDWARD CULLEN. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance — unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right — VAMPIRE. But he doesn't have fangs — that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice.

To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for — a soul mate.

But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy.

Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But what will they do when LAURENT and JAMES, the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for Bella?

Based on the #1 New York Times Bestselling series by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight is a cultural phenomenon, with a fanatic fanbase that eagerly awaits this movie. Critically acclaimed director Catherine Hardwicke brings to life this modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair — between vampire and mortal. --© Summit Entertainment

Twilight Final Trailer in HD

ok now that you've seen the final trailer, here are some survival guide to Twilight Movie, its better armed and ready when you watch the movie.

Isabella Swan (Played by Kristen Stewart) One of the most important characters in the Twilight series is none other than Bella Swan. While she has no preternatural powers, she is a typical teen who has to endure the many biases and prejudices of today’s society. Getting thrown into the dark and chaotic world of vampires when she falls in love with one of them (Edward Cullen) makes it doubly hard for Bella to come to terms with life.

But Bella has one thing going for her - love. As Ms. Meyer explains, Bella is someone who is more open at heart, quite the romantic type and not like herself actually (she is more pragmatic and realistic.).

Bella is an every girl. She's not a hero, and she doesn't know the difference between Prada and whatever else is out there. She doesn't always have to be cool, or wear the coolest clothes ever. She's normal. And there aren't a lot of girls in literature that are normal. Another thing is that Bella's a good girl, which is just sort of how I imagine teenagers, because that's how my teenage years were,” says the author.

In a way, it was Ms. Meyer’s intention to portray Bella as simply as that - someone who might be considered a wimp. But once you get over the issues of physical clumsiness and so on, you will agree that Bella is also a courageous and fearless human being. How could she even imagine marrying a vampire if she is a spineless teenager? How could she be a weakling when she deals with both werewolves and vampires? While critics may question the seemingly impossible transformation of a wimpy girl into a romantic heroine, is it really that hard to believe? Vampires are fictitious characters in the first place, isn’t it? This is supposedly a fantasy-romance novel right? So why all the fuss?

Kristen Stewart is one of cinema’s most exciting and sought-after young actresses. However, her talent as a lead actress has yet to be proven. If previous performances are a measure of how well she can act and deliver, then she is on her way to the top. She made five movies in 2007 including one of last year’s best movies, Into The Wild, where she played a shy country folk singer who fell in love with the movie’s lead, Emile Hirsch. This year, she also took part in five movies, including awesome roles in Yellow Handkerchief and Adventureland. Her role as Bella Swan is definitely Kristen’s most important role to date.

I'm very excited to have Kristen Stewart play Bella in the upcoming Twilight movie. She's an amazing actress with experience all across the board—action, horror, comedy, romance, and more. Since Twilight has moments that fit into every one of these genres, I'm thrilled to have a Bella who has practice with them all. Summit's vision of the Twilight movie continues to dovetail very closely with mine, and I'm comforted to know that my "baby" is in the right hands.

Edward Cullen (Played by Robert Pattinson): Is a vampire and was born on June 20, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois. He is forever a 17-year-old young man. While dying of the Spanish influenza, he was changed into a vampire by Dr. Carlisle Cullen after Edward's mother, Elizabeth, begged him to save Edward. Edward has the special ability to read minds, with the exception of Bella Swan's. Says Pattinson about the character he's playing:

When you read the book...it's like 'Edward Cullen was so beautiful I creamed myself.' He's the most ridiculous person who's so amazing at everything. I think a lot of actors tried to play that aspect. I just couldn't do that. And the more I read the script, the more I hated this guy, so that's how I played him, as a manic-depressive who hates himself. Plus, he's a 108 year-old virgin, so he's obviously got some issues there.

Robert Pattinson beat a number of aspiring actors for the role of Edward Cullen. Pattinson is best known for his supporting role in two Harry Potter films. He is also slated to play Salvador Dali in Little Ashes, to be released in 2009.

“I am ecstatic with Summit's choice for Edward. There are very few actors who can look both dangerous and beautiful at the same time, and even fewer who I can picture in my head as Edward. Robert Pattinson is going to be amazing, ” says Ms. Meyer on Pattinson.

A major factor in the movie’s success will be how realistically Kristen and Rob are able to play the two lead characters. Their on-screen chemistry could either disappoint and drive fans away or put them into a frenzy. In the book, Kristen’s character is considered to be its soul. Twilight fans who have read the book numerous times will have high expectations regarding how Bella should be portrayed on the big screen. It will be a first to watch a leading lady without too many ‘star’ qualities and complications. Finally, a realistic young female character with flaws just like any ordinary teen gets to be the heroine!

Adding spice, mysterious appeal and charm is Robert’s Edward Cullen. As Bella’s romantic partner, Pattinson needs to be both preternaturally suave and sexy while at the same time desperate and tragic as he examine his ways and atones for all the sins he has committed as a vampire.

- - -

Jacob Black (Played by Taylor Lautner): He is a close friend of Bella Swan, but is considered a rival by Edward. Says the author:

Jacob was my first experience with a character taking over—a minor character developing such roundness and life that I couldn't keep him locked inside a tiny role....From the very beginning, even when Jacob only appeared in chapter six of Twilight, he was so alive. I liked him. More than I should for such a small part.

Taylor has this charm and appeal that makes you forget he's just a young boy (he's 16 years old) who is on the verge of becoming one of today's most popular young actors. His role as Jacob Black is definitely his most challenging role to date and there are a lot of expectations that Taylor wil deliver an awesome performance. The young actor also provide updates on his acting career via his personal website.

Other major roles: While these are major roles, tMF deemed it unnecessary to add too much stuff, but a sort of introduction into their characters are enough. We also provided a few notes on who will play the characters.

Carlisle Cullen is Esme's husband and Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper's adoptive father. His first appearance was in Twilight and his physical age is 23. Carlisle is described to look like a model; he has blond hair, stands at 6'2", and is slender but muscular. Carlisle theorizes that when a human is turned into a vampire, they will have an enhanced ability from their previous life. He believes he brought compassion from his human life. Carlisle has had centuries to perfect his medicinal talents, therefore making him an excellent doctor. Carlisle will be portrayed by Peter Facinelli. I'm not too familiar with Peter Facinelli to render an opinion, but this is a major role and requires someone who will show compassion, character and authenticity.

Esme Cullen is the wife of Carlisle and adoptive mother of Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper. She enjoys restoring old houses and her physical age is 26. She has no special power, but has a strong ability to love passionately. Esme is described as being 5'6" with caramel-colored hair; she also has a heart-shaped face with dimples, and her figure is slender, but rounded and soft. Elizabeth Reaser will portray Esme in the upcoming film. Ms. Reaser is not only the perfect Esme, I think she'll give the role a unique voice and style.

Rosalie Lillian Hale is the adopted daughter of Esme and Carlisle, adoptive sister of Edward, Alice, and Jasper, and wife of Emmett. Her physical age is 18, and she was born in 1915 in Rochester, New York as the daughter of a banker. Rosalie is described as being astoundingly beautiful, even for a vampire; she is tall, statuesque, and has long, wavy blonde hair. As a human, Rosalie was described as a woman who had beauty, elegance, class, and eyes resembling violets. The talented and charming Nikki Reed will play Rosalie in the movie. One of the most promising young actresses, Nikki will rock!

Jasper Hale is the adopted son of Carlisle and Esme, adoptive brother of Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie, and husband of Alice. He was born in Texas and joined the Confederate States Army in 1861 to serve in the Civil War. Due to his extremely charismatic personality, he ascended through the ranks quickly. Jasper was turned into a vampire in 1863 by a vampire named Maria when he was 20 years old. As a vampire, he gained the ability to manipulate the emotions of those around him. Jasper will be played by Jackson Rathbone. The young actor is both charming and intelligent. While you might think he's all charm, but he has proven he can do more than just become the next poster boy. Aside from his most famous role on television's Beautiful People, he also did some impressive work for Disney 411 and interviewed big stars from Disney. While he has taken roles in commercial productions, he's known to be very serious about becoming a successful actor.

Emmett Cullen is Rosalie's husband, Carlisle and Esme's adopted son, and Edward, Alice, and Jasper's adoptive brother. Emmett is described as being tall, burly, extremely muscular, and, to most humans, the most intimidating of his adoptive siblings. He has slightly curly dark hair and dimpled cheeks. Emmett was 20 and living in Gatlinburg, Tennessee in 1935 when he was mauled by a bear. The injuries from the attack were severe and he was found by Rosalie, who had been hunting in the area at the time. Rosalie, who was reminded of her friend's baby having the same curls and innocent appearance, carried him over a hundred miles to Appalachia where Carlisle Cullen was, asking him to spare Emmett's life by turning him into a vampire. Kellan Lutz was cast to portray Emmett in the film version.

Alice Cullen is the adopted daughter of Carlisle and Esme, adoptive sister of Edward, Rosalie, and Emmett, and wife of Jasper. Alice is described as being petite and pixie-like at 4'10", with a graceful gait and hair that is short, spiky, and black. Her special ability is to see the future, an enhanced version of her ability to have premonitions as a human. However, her ability is limited; she is only able to see the outcome of a decision once it is made. Due to this, decisions made in the spur of the moment can not be foreseen. Ashley Greene will portray Alice in the upcoming film.

no matter how hard we try, it is evident that the eminence faction is really strong and no way we can win over them.

It is sad for me to say that i really want to leave the server and transfer to another, i hope when i transfer to another server, i can take all my characters with me, and retain my current level.
And maybe just a maybe, when iam at the other server, it will be different.

I hope iam making sense.

i wish iah games could come up with a character transfer service or something.

Colbourn 2.6

Granado Espada has just release version 2.6!!!! yay!

You know what i actually got excited to start playing the game with version 2.6 plus the fact that i wanna get Vicente Rio and the new scout stance.
I keep on checking the forums for updates and always clicking my GE.exe icon at my desktop to see if all servers are up. God knows how many times ive done that.

And yes finally i started playing at around 10:30pm last june3, 2007. Hahahaha, i was the first in the WarGodz faction to be online that day...oh yeah..and i even text my friend Harold (Fortuneshadow) that Granado Espada servers was up and running already.
I started up with Vicente Rio right away and i was to stupid to look up for the Evocation of Lightning stance book all over Auch, hahahaha i didnt realize right away that it could just be purchase inside the master room, haahahaha, it must be too much excitement so forgive me on that. And so iam done with the Vicente Rio quest, well almost coz i dont have Enchament boosters (rio needs enchantment boosters b4 u can get him into your family) Well i hope someday i can get him.

Ok since i dont have enchantment boosters, i just go to Swimming Pool to try the new mini game and after i got bored, i remember that omg, hey Colbourn you almost forgot that there is a new scout stance that you need to max, well yeah i remember that and yeah i dont have mystery powders. Better luck next time till you have Gpoints, and try again.

I must admit, i started a little bit rough on the game, i dont have vis to spend for those expensive equipments and armor. But look at me now, all of my hardships and sleepless nights paid off. And most of all, iam very happy on what my family have reached so far.

Colbourn of the New World!!!!!

Egames Evolution in SM Southmall

2008-03-16T12:53:00.001-07:00

Iam playing the game at the same time while i was writing this, it is just that i can't wait to become a Veteran here in Granado Espada. Right now my current level is 97 and iam so so closed in becoming a Veteran. I know that when i become one, there would be a lot of opportunities i can get inside the game, new map to conquer, new boss to kill and new friends to meet and those veteran stances, omggggg.... Exciting.

anyway last march 15, 2007 Saturday was my very first Egames event ever. So i was exited to check out the event in SM Southmall and see the granado espada 2on2 there. Sad but i have to leave right away because my sister called me up and ask me to drive for her, so i wasn't able to finish the 2on2 battle. But according to Bayushi (Outcast faction leader) Cervantez are the winning team.

Here are some of the pictures from the event.

Trivia Time

2008-03-04T21:47:00.001-08:00

൧. "Granado Espada" comes from the names of the two explorers that discovered the "New
World", Gilbert Granado and FerrucioEspada.

൨. When Idge Imbrulia, the first blacksmith one encounters in the game, gives the player's family their first Plate Mail armor in the game she tells them it's marked with her personal trademark, a swoosh. This is in reference to a scene in the film A Knight's Tale. Incidentally the trademark bears an uncanny resemblance to the Nike logo.

൩. There is one possible Counter-Strike reference in the game. At the end of one of the early quests, the NPC who assigned the quest, Sir Lyndon, announces: "Counter-Terrorists Win!"

൪. There is also a Ghost Busters reference in the game. Prior to assigning a quest, an NPC uses the phrase "ain't afraid of no ghosts."

൫. There is an NPC named Backstreet Boy. The description of his quest includes the phrase "You want it that way," a clear reference to the group's hit single.

൬. Some enemies and player characters have access to a skill named Shoryuken of Street Fighter fame.

൭. There is also a type of enemy named Iron Maiden.

൮. The nickname of "Granado Espada" in Korea is a "dressing game" this is partly due to the fact that update patch of the game mostly introduces new game costumes for characters.

൯. The Roof, Plow and Tail stances used by the fighter class in game are based on three actual guards found in the Medieval and Renaissance German school of fencing. The guards depicted in game are similar to those used by the longsword.

൧൦. All the names of sGE server are taken from Miguel de Cervantes, Agostino Carracci, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, Antonio Lucio Vivaldi, Johann Pachelbel.

൧൧. When Gracielo visits Camille's deceased brother's grave in Auch, Fritz is waiting for him there. He senses his sadness and quotes "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering " and invites him to come to the light. This is a reference to Yoda's quote to Anakin Skywalker of Star Wars considering Fritz's age and wisdom and Gracielo's recklessness.

Our History

"Your body may be in the new world, but your blood is of the old."
- Gilbert Granado

The Impetus to Explore

War had cast its vile shadow across the nations of Orpesia. Illier and Vespanola were locked in struggle with Opoluto, while rich Targa and mighty Bristia obstinately maintained their neutrality. Opoluto fared poorly, its forces outnumbered and ill-equipped. The armies of Illier and Vespanola won battle after battle, and threatened the main cities with invasion. Also, Targa's stiff tariffs on trade routes with Katai further drained Opoluto's coffers. To save his nation from the jaws of defeat, the king of Opoluto called upon his loyal subjects to brave the Dark Sea to the west.

A Desperate Journey

The explorer Ferrucio Espada answered his king's call. He believed an ocean route to Katai was possible, and led a flotilla of ships across the Dark Sea. During the long and treacherous voyage, ten of twelve ships were lost, but he made an amazing discovery. Ferrucio Espada had not found an ocean route to Katai; instead, he had come upon a vast new world. Granado Espada, named after the two surviving captains, Gilbert Granado and Ferrucio Espada, was to be Opoluto's salvation. Ferrucio surveyed the new world, and said to Gilbert, "We need Katai no longer. From this land we will draw the strength to vanquish our enemies. Truly, what a magnificent weapon we have discovered! " Gilbert agreed, and replied, "Let us arm our kingdom with the Sword of the New World."

A Home Lost for a World Discovered

Opoluto spent its treasury surveying the new world, building ports, logging forests, mining mountains and founding new settlements. Many merchants and wealthy families saw Granado Espada as a land of opportunity, as well as a place far removed from conflict, and so risked the dangerous crossing. But while Oloputians rushed to gather resources in the new world, war continued in the old. Alas, if only it had been discovered sooner!

Without warning, neutral Targa entered into alliance with Opoluto's enemies, swelling the ranks of Illier and Vespanola. Soon Opoluto, its army broken and its coffers empty, surrendered its sovereignty to Vespanola in return for mercy. Opolutians who could still make the voyage fled to Granado Espada. To bolster control over its new colonies, Vespanola installed Ferrucio Espada as Interim Governor.

The Three Years War

The powerful nation of Bristia, neutral during the hostilities between Opoluto and the allied forces of Illier and Vespanola (and later Targa), had not let the discovery of the new world go unnoticed. As Vespanola spread its might thinly over Granado Espada and the former land of Opoluto, Bristia saw the opportunity to topple its rival. It launched a surprise attack against Vespanola, provoking what would become the Three Years War. Though the battles were fierce and mostly waged on land, the war was ultimately decided at sea. At the Battle of Baleares, the light but swift galleys of Vespanola faced powerful Bristian dreadnoughts. Though outnumbered, the smaller ships won a miraculous victory, thanks in no small part to the arrogance of the Bristian admiral, who deployed his ships so close together so that fire attacks spread rapidly and destroyed the core of their fleet.

Expanding the New World and Reconquista

While Vespanola warred with Bristia, Governor Espada fought his own battles in the new world. Dangerous beasts lurked outside the cities, and bizarre tales spread of nameless horrors roaming the jungle deeper inland. Ancient ruins were discovered in the wilderness, and the handful of explorers who returned from the perilous dungeons alive brought back weapons strange and powerful. To make matters worse, resentment between settlers from vanquished Opoluto and victorious Vespanola began to boil over. Families dueled openly on the streets, threatening to plunge the settlements into civil war. In a bold plan to restore order, Governor Espada granted local offices significant powers, much to the displeasure of Vespanola.

In addition to mounting problems in Granado Espada, the queen of Vespanola faced a growing threat within her realm. After years of waging war against Opoluto and Bristia, a wartime nobility had arisen in her country. Ambitious military families contending for power surrounded the court. Meanwhile, her faithful subjects in the new world were outnumbered by former citizens of Opoluto, and these masses were more loyal to the governor. In a shrewd response, the queen proclaimed her policy of "Reconquista," urging adventurous Vespanolan families to settle in Granado Espada and granting monetary concessions to those who would help impose the queen's will across the sea.
