Mafia Wars Moscow: Vory versus Mafiya

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:54:51 +0000

According to Zynga, we need to chose between Vory v Zakone and Russian Mafiya when we venture into Moscow expansion. They have very limited information for now “Will you side with the Vory, the princes of thieves and the Old Guard of the Russian underworld? Or maybe you’d prefer the company of the brutally ruthless and efficient Mafiya?” It will affect the game play later, perhaps something like the different in character types we chose.

From the sound of it, Mafiya is probably a better choice as they are “brutally ruthless” and “efficient,” something that sound appropriate for the game of Mafia. It probably has to do with jobs and businesses. On the other side, being the “princes of thieves” and the “Old Guard” should mean something as well, possibly linked to robbing or fighting.

Hard to chose. I have started as pure energy and then migrate to fighting and robbing after finishing Cuba. Right now I’m pretty much balanced between the two sides, with Daily Chance (Lotto) collection vaulted, along with the new combat formula with huge weight on equipment, playing both fights and jobs yield best results.

Now with Moscow comes into picture, I would love to see its effect on my game play strategy. So I’m looking forward to this new expansion.

Will you side with the Vory, the princes of thieves and the Old Guard of the Russian underworld? Or maybe you’d prefer the company of the brutally ruthless and efficient Mafiya?

Freedom of press in Thailand

Recently, Thai presses widely published tragic case of a Hollywood actor who passed away while staying in Thailand. Not only the name and his picture were widely shown, the cause of his death as well as the “blurred” picture of the scene was published in one of Thailand’s biggest newspaper. My first feeling is outrageous. I have seen this happened to Thai unfortunate victims, but never thought this could be happening to any famous foreigners. They are our distinguished guests and patrons. How could we do something like this? Then I heard the news that US Embassy was not too happy with the incident, particularly the right to publish this very news and threaten to take some action. I hope that this infamous newspaper is sued. It has been manipulating Thai people for so many years by printing misleading news, false accusations, and even outright lies. I certainly hope that it will learn the most important lesson about being press, as it is said in an action hero movie: “With great power comes great responsibility.”

Galatians

Today I taught Sunday School class, and the topic is Bible Survey–Galatians. The main theme is about “saved by grace, not law.” To my surprise, sermon today was centered around this theme as well, leaving no doubt on what God wants me to learn this week.

As usual, in preparing and teaching Sunday School, I have to learn the lesson more than anyone else. In my learning, Law is something people have created, whether or not from good intention, and we have become ensalved by our own creation.

This is perhaps human nature, as witnessed through our own history, since the dawn of time.

Hello, World! สวัสดีชาวโลก!

After persuading many to start their own blogs, I have finally to create my permanent blog. Let’s see if I can do this on a regular basis, something that is a true challenge to me. I always have a hard time doing something persistently, and making a good blog is about persistence.

Hopefully this will not be the last post you read on this blog, ha ha.

หลังจากยุให้คนอื่นเขียนบลอกส่วนตัวมาหลายคน ผมก็คิดว่าถึงเวลาจะเขียนบลอกส่วนตัวของตัวเองเสียที หวังว่าจะสามารถเขียนได้ต่อเนื่องและสม่ำเสมอนะครับ ฮ่าๆๆ ปกติเป็นคนสมาธิสั้น ทำอะไรได้แป๊บนึงก็จะไปสนใจอย่างอื่นต่อ ก็ได้แต่หวังว่า กระทู้นี้จะไม่ใช่กระทู้สุดท้ายที่ทุกคนจะได้อ่านนะครับ อิอิ
