Story : Express Lane

Note : Express lane is an assigned AK machine that allow 3 plays (max) per gamer. Had to re-Queue up again if still want to continue play after 3 games.


"fishermen/fisherwomen aim gold at express lane…

It happened yesterday… i played with my nephew...without knowing wat is the seq/deck at that machine… 1st game, 2nd game and 3rd game finished… wow..wow..!! ice meteor dropped!!.... feel something special is coming.... but already in 3rd game...behind got one newbie waiting…

Talk abt this newbie 1st… he keep asking me the cards that he get.... he got giant meteor at the other machine… he ask me how is this card… good ar?? i said ..this is bronze card lor… he reply..this card ok and good anot?? i reply ok ok la… he reply again...ok ok… hahaha....(blur)

After getting the ice meteor.... i let the newbie behind play… and at the same time… i Q Q take out my seq list and check...wow ..wow… 7 cards to go >>> GWS!!! ... then i quickly ask my nephew go and Q again...suddenly… one lady ( i saw her sitting beside the AK machine quite long liao...actually she already ‘bio’ this gws quite a long time liao..hahaha...) she also fast hand fast leg go and Q up...she Q 1st...then my nephew Q behind (hope that still can get the GWS)....

The chance come!! the newbie that i let him just now only play one game.... omg… sure get the GWS liao… but ma na er chai… the lady Q infront quick quick shout her boy come… then the mother and son play… i know something going wrong...i ask the lady how many games she wan to play… she reply 6!! (just now 7 cards to go is GWS...the newbie played one… so..6 just nice to get GWS)…
i a bit bo song liao… #$@%!^&Y;^*&*&*(^%^%7 (a bit arguement with her)....then i call the staff and tell the staff the situation… the lady come 1st...my nephew come 2nd...after the newbie left...the lady ask her boy come to join.... and they wan to play 6 times..and this express lane max. can play 3 times...but the lady claimed that they have 2 ppl (2x3times each player at express lane)...so can play 6 times…

Wa kow!!! no use also after the staff come and talk to the lady to let my nephew play…
At the end.... the lady left with the GWS… my nephew left with dissappointment....
The end.... "

"To solve this problem, let’s get them to shuffle the deck first before putting in. Nobody will fight for the stupid Gold again next time.

I’m ok if the sequence is at good hands. Ordinary people who just want to complete the collection, help others to complete the collection or perhaps make some money. I’m against those that want to make a wealth out of it selling cards at rediculous prices and worst still making a commotion out of it at arcade centres, fighting for one machine because it is deck D or H with the infamous special ops leo. $35 for silver, normal cards at $3??? When I wrote this, I’m only reflecting my own perspective and not to invite any flamers. Like I say, you can state down whatever price you like, ultimately will you be able to sell at those stated prices is the one that count. "

"well, that is life, fisherman/fisherwoman can be ruthless when “GOLD” is in sight...... well, next time just keep your cards in secret or just show your spare normal card as a decoy to confuse the fisherman/fisherwoman… LOL.

anyway, AK has become a game of strategy..... not so much in the game itself but in getting the cards u want and confusing your enemy.......... "

"In the 1st place, we donno wat deck/card is going to drop… as fisherman/fisherwoman… he/she already mark for quite a long time… so...he/she already know when is the best timing to go down and catch…

The idea to confuse the ‘enemy’ is good… so, next time we need to spare few cards (prefer bronzes)...to put on the machine as ‘Deco’ so tat ‘enemy’ get wrong info… hahaha...

You r right. Fisherman/fisherwoman.... can be ruthless when ‘gold’ is in sight… and become ‘nice’ when they get the gold....after they get gold...normally they will ask around...especially kids...to give up the seat and let the kids play.....jiat lat...(like tat ‘nice’ meh??!! for those ppl who donno maybe think tat they r nice to give away the seat)"
