Hey guys, I started to Maple again.
I don’t wanna use my Cleric anymore; it’s like.. ugly and old. 
So.. I continued from my level 9 Suppose-to-be-Bandit and turned it into an Assassin. It’s still level 18 though.
There’s like, a lot of level 12’s using Steelys, Ilbis, and Hwabis. I feel so ashamed using my subis. Hahaha..
MapleSAP Special: Justice Arrow
Part 12: Struggle for Freedom
Like the rest of the regions in MapleWorld, Henesys is also watched over by the GMs, but unlike everywhere else, only one GM is present here, thanks to Henesys’ special 3t independence status. The solo GM has no contacts, no communication beyond mail to Orbis, nor does he have the proper authorization to do fulfill his role as a GM.
“All I ever do that’s my job is I write up reports each month and send them to Orbis.” GM Harris explained.
“I noticed there’s no mailbox around here,” I mentioned.
“The JA pulled it out and got rid of it. They don’t want people sending mail outside of Henesys. There is a local postal service here, but they open and check your mail, making sure there’s no harmful information or items being sent out. They always report to the JA. If someone tried to mail a letter calling for help, they would be canned the second they hand the package over,”
“So, how do you send your reports?”
“I write them up, pass them to the JA at their office in town, and after they approve of it, they hand it to the next visitor heading east to take it with them,”
“Have there been times when the JA wasn’t satisfied with your work?”
“Lots of times,” GM Harris said. “They get pretty pissed if I put down stats of child abuse, or if I wrote about certain incidents that go on, it really riles them up. They want no intervention from Orbis in the affairs here,”
“What happens then?”
“I re-write it. Sometimes, I re-write it several times, because it is my job to make sure Orbis knows that’s going on here, and it takes negotiating, pressuring in order to get their approval. I’m no macho tough guy here, these bowmen are scary when you piss them off.”
“What’s the worst that’s ever happened to a GM here?”
Harris pauses. “The last GM before me died. He pushed a second unscreened copy of a report. That copy contained a page load of critical information saying that the JA was killing magicians. Back then, there was a magicians’ village not too far away, and the JA were burning them all. An officer saw the GM slip the package into the back of a truck. The JA stopped the truck, searched it and found the report. Poor bastard was burned up with the rest of them!”
I was shocked to hear this.
“What happened when Orbis found out?”
“The Equitas president and mayor said he got fried by some psychotic fire mage; so they sent me. They gave me special instructions for this post here: Don’t slip dirt past the JA, don’t piss them off, dont interfere with their laws, even if their enforcement violates people’s rights under federal law; pretty much I was told to sit here with my thumb up my ass and do nothing!”
“So you have no authority?” I asked.
“Nope. I’m just a puppet here. I requested several times for a transfer somewhere else, but they never called back. I’m supposed to watch for hackers, but they never come around here; not since the JA blew up the Free Market portal. I am pretty much an ambassador from Orbis here. I go to church like everybody else, I go to community events, some times I even have to help with the harvest or something else big.”
“Harsh,” I said. “So even if you somehow managed to relay my findings to the GMs in Orbis, nothing would happen?”
“I don’t kno exactly, and the JA is hell-bent on keeping things this way,”

Part 14: Last day in Henesys
When we first came to Henesys, we assumed we would be making a documentary on Henesys well kept secrets. We found the secrets, but not at all on our own terms. Every one of us was pulled into the fold of Henesys’ extremist religious society backed by the militant Justice Arrow and it’s fanatical leader Dan Jalonska, a descendent
of 16th century colonist Lomi Jalonska.
Under the Jalonska regime, everything appears well on the outside of this peaceful and productive society, but once we got under the covers, we found the horrifying secrets even the GM can’t report on. Like many other media groups that came here to make a documentary fell into the one way current from visitor to trapped resident, MapleSAP’s team is not exempt from the big challenge of escaping Henesys and re-obtaining our freedom.

Part 13: Life Sentence
+This part talks not of the JA, but of alarming side issues.
The only way for a visitor in Henesys to not attract attention is never leave the Victoria Road strip, and don’t stay any longer than two hours in day time. If one must stay overnight, they are to leave at dawn. Stay with your group and don’t go off alone even if its just to the general store. If you are alone and you need to pass through Henesys to buy supplies,
get your supplies and get out. Plan your trip well so you don’t end up in Henesys at nightfall. Appropriate attire for visitors or passers by: Plain dim colored bottomwear and topwear. Don’t wear anything that might upset the residents.
If you end up in a conversation with a preacher, NEVER break the conversation. This endless list of suggestions, which would be advised to anyone going to [North Korea], are the Victoria Tourism Office’s safety guidelines for people traveling in southern Victoria. They were drafted this fall when SEA Landers were permitted to go to Ammoria, the wedding village only 150 Km outside of Henesys. Florina and Lith are popular vacation and honeymoon hotspot. To get there they must take the southern road from Ellinia, and go through Henesys. Reports showed that people who didn’t meed these guidelines fell into trouble quickly.
Visitors pass through Henesys daily during the peak seasons. It is the only rest and supply stop. A few hotels and general stores and restaurants fit the needs of the travellers.
The people of Henesys stare at them in a hostile manner. If someone is there longer than an hour, the JA men take notice. If he is there long enough, the bowmen question him. Forget time limits if you catch the attention of a preacher or any resident. If they want to talk to you, you have no choice but to chat with them. If you don’t it is a major disrespect, and the rangers will be on you fast.
Many visitors are arrested, and interogated by the JA. The JA demand where they are from, where they are going, why and other related questions. In one interrogation session alone, you entire life will be pried open, even if by painful force.
Then the JA decide if the person’s reasons are legitimate enough for him to a: leave Henesys and continue on, b:be thrown in jail and put to the slave work for a period of time, or c: be forced into becoming a resident.
Even foreign people who have served assigned jail and slave time are not allowed to leave, instead, the people; be it the church, the JA or the general folk, will forcefully assimilate you into their fold.
Brainwashing and intense persuasion are common practices in Henesys.
One man I talked to, said he lived in Henesys for two years after serving 9 months slave time, and instead of being ‘cleansed and faithful’ he is disgusted, outraged, and frightened by what he saw.
“I have dumb moments where I do really stupid things without thinking. I’m a civillian graduate of Ludus University, and I work construction in Ludi and Kerning. 24 years old, and that well educated, I should have been smart enough not to be called a noob. Used in this context, it meas ‘absolute idiot’.”
“So what happened?” I asked.
“I was on my way home from Lith where we finished a major project, and the bus stopped here for the night. The driver told us to keep away from the people. After I got off the bus, this lady, who I guess was with the Jalonska Church, came up to me and began drilling me with questions on my religious views in an offensive manner. I know this religion here is crazy, and these people would do whatever to convert you. I told her to go away and she got pissed and hammered more questions at me, and, hell, she popped me one in the face. I got pissed and shouted and told her to..fuqk off or something like that, and some rangers heard me and came at me. They slammed me to the ground scolding me for telling off the preacher, saying I was denying the holy word of righteousness or some snailcrap like that. They threw me in the slammer for a few days and then I at interrogation they just kicked the crap outta me for a good few hours. I got 9 months of labor and worked that off.
When my 9 was up and I said I wanted to leave they threatened death by fire. I don’t wanna die, so I reluctantly took the other choice they offered me: Take up their religion, work construction here, get married, and live here as a permanent resident.”
“So you got married here?” I asked, surprised.
“Yeap,” the man said. “The day I got off the fields the guys said they had a bride lined up and everything. The lady’s family wanted me because the father, a bishop and construction master, wanted me to work for him, so it was with the wedding I was added to the family.”
“What has life been like for you here?”
“Not pleasant. My wife Corella, she’s a monster. One of those 6’5” women who can 400 pounds without breaking a sweat. My first year, I felt safer at work than I did at home. Corella hammered me brutally in every way she could to to change me from my former self into one of the home grown guys here. I’m good at faking it now. We built our house in a month, and in the second year, we had a kid. “
Like almost all of Henesys’ foreign based residents who are married, he was shocked with how severely she beat their kid.
“My 2 year old son stuck his tongue out at someone while we were having supper, and she leaned over and stuck a pin is his tongue.”
“Stuck a pin in the child’s tongue?”
“Yeah. She said she was surprised at me because I thought nothing of it, and it happens in her family,”
I interjected, “Under Maple law, that is an act of violence, and abuse. Don’t they know that here?”
“No. If they did they wouldn’t care. Corella saw that not as violence, but as a mean to break the child’s will.”

MapleStory
Well, I haven’t blogged in a while, but I guess this one will make up for my absence. (ihopelulz.) I also haven’t been leveling my thief for a longgg time, but rather roaming around Henesys playing people in omok, finding new friends, and doing everything in this world BESiDES training. Geez, I expanded my buddylist twice already… And now I don’t even have the money to buy potions!
Well this wasnt a bad or good experience, it was neither. I called it “strange.” It happened 2 days ago when me and my guild member, Josh. He’s one of my best friends. So there we were spending our time together…i forgot where, but anyways we were about to go to New Leaf City to train or whatever. There we were at the subway station when suddenly Josh gets horny on me. You know how he’s like…everytime when he’s sooo in love with me that he wants to smex me up. No i refuse to do that. I keep my hands to myself, but Josh comes closer and closer giving me the kissy face. I backed away, and soon he starts to take off his clothes and the next thing I knew…
Part 4 Death in the Sea
I caught up with Autumn and Kira by the door. They already gave a brief
explanation about what happened, leaving out a few important details. On
impulse, the people outside barged inside, heading over to the backyard.
They were shocked and surprised, but they werent frightened, most of them
were veterans from a previous war, I bet they experienced even worse.
=)
Yayyy! One level closer to being able to wear an Anakanure. O:<
Mostly I’ve been grinding on Drake’s Meat (or Meat Table or Drake Table Meat) and it’s been allright, especially on my 2x time; I’ve been able to go up 30% in about an hour (which is amazing for me x3). After a while you get tired of the same ‘ol same ‘ol, so I’ve been visiting other places like zombie lupins and FoG (which was ok, I still don’t get as much EXP as I need from them especially since I party with high lvled people). So, I’ll probably head back to the meat table (lol) area and grind some more. Currently, I’m lvl 56. . .and W/O MY 2X CARD. It expired yesterday. *tear*
Wow, it’s been forever – and when I say forever, I do mean literally. I haven’t been playing Maple much since my last blog. I actually haven’t played at all basically. I decided to come back because well, it’s probably one of the funnest games I’ve ever played. I feel like something is missing though, I don’t really know what it is though. I guess I just don’t do as many weird things as I used to? I dont’t know, that’s another story for another day.
