Winning / Losing in a AK tournament

"yesterday my 6-yrs old boy, Reuben won Timezone and today morning won the Zone X .... Double Champion ... hee hee .....

this morning is the most interesting .... final .... a 4-yrs old boy vesus my 6-yrs old ....

both kids .... tat tat ta ta ta ta .... non-stop banging the buttons .... wah lao ... very noisy leh ...

first round Reuben won .... second round the 4-yrs old won ....... final round .... still ta ta ta tat tat .... non-stop .....

Reuben left 6-7 cm health .... the 4-yrs old boy left 1cm ...... my boy Golden Attack and he won ... bo chap still tat ta ta tat ta ....non-stop .... until the 4-yrs old boy fed-up .... brush my boy’s hand slightly to tell him to stop ..... my thought :- wah lao ... sure win already still ta ta tat ta ....

Reuben still bo chap ... turn around and take the price Champion Tiger .... and show me .... the 4-yrs old turn to his daddy and cried ....

told Reuben that he already won ... no need to bang buttons anymore .... and he replied ... i won what .... i replied okay but the little boy still young .... no need to make him sad ..... Reuben kept quiet ....

Moral of the story:-

many of us wanted to win ... and think that winning only matters ..... but we need to understand that in real life ..... winning is not everything ..... you need to face up to many failures ... and learn from the experiences and setbacks … before you could taste SUCCESS .....

I do hope that many of the kids who played AK to keep failing in tournaments ... and one day if you believe in the AK spirits and most importanly - yourselves .... you are already a true CHAMPION."

Our wishes for AK Club house

We wish that ....

* there is at least 1 or 2 AK machine that can play up to Jap's latest version . They can be placed in a special room for VIP or members ...and we don't mind to pay a small membership fee each year ...at least it will give all AK fans a opportunity to use and try out all our japanese cards....It will be interesting to oragnaise tournament using these machines...don't you agree ?


* To have our Singapore's very own local binder/album and other AK relatd products (taiwan can have their own binder , what about us ?)


* The car parking fee can be cheaper @ Cineleisure so that more parents (who drives) can have less stress to bring their family here for the regular events


* there is a special "for rental" compartment space (just like those Toy outpost box concept) for registered AK fans to display and sell AK cards or products ...there will be counter staff to help manage for the daily sale and updating for the consignment.


* AK league to have at least top 4 positions rather than just focus on the champion.
(check out the national tournament held by new zealand) ...the champion prize to be at least $500 will be very attractive.


* To have a AK fans corner ....where some children animal 's drawing artwork or special collection photograhs can be displayed. To set up a kioks or a simple Pc to feature some key AK related blogs or web site for reference / leisure reading.


* AK club house to have a Bi-monthly or Quarterly magainze that report any interesting AK news / gossip stories or imporant event.


* Issue special animal kaiser membership cards (can be kept as a cool collectable item) for all registsered members to the club


* To have a yearly recognition cermony towards those personels who had won major tournament or whom had contributed much effort towards animal Kaiser community


* To set up a platform channel for seller/buyer to post up selling or buying items with contact numbers. Can involve AK fans from different country ...


* Club house to organise interesting event such as drawing contest ,colour contest , give informative talks /video presentation on how the jap design /make the cards ...some of the interesting process...quarterly AK quiz lucky draw..etc


* To exchange some gifts for various points collect from the league tournament...or have our very own 30 cards exchange program jsut like those organise in taiwan


* To form a AK promtion committee team ...to go around all part of Singapore for Animal Kaiser road show at major trade show events. To share awareness and promote a healthy image for this game.


* AK club house to set up a feedback channel so that AK fans can comments and give suggestion for continuous improvment ...maybe can incorporate into www.ak-sg web

The above few pointers are just some of our few "imaginary" wild suggestion and thoughts ...for sharing purpose only ....it will add alot of value if only 1 AK machine can be modified to play ALL Jap cards...otherwise, it will be still cheaper and conveninent to play AK at our nearby Timezone arcade...no point go all the way there...to orchard ...if ganna heavy rain ...maybe have the risk of FLOOD too ? ..haha

Story : Our customer who shown his care for us...

So far...got 2 boys had bought the sequence from other sellers...not happy,,,then come to buy from us our 3 sets of complete version 4 sequence ...2 days ago...recived a sms from one of these boys (9xxxxx89) ...showing his concern towards blog master :

"How come you so long never post anything on zoneX ? "

Blog Master: thank you Brxxx for your concern. We had some problem with our desktop PC last few days (infested by virus) and i am also had fallen sick ...with flu and fever ...We are finally back in action for our blog reporting. Shall post @ the fourum if we are selling/buying anything ~ we are glad that at least someone notice that we had "disappear" in last few days ...we appreciate your care ,thank you

Story : i had make police report....

this incident happen last few days ...to myself...

Received a phone call from a kid who mention he wants to buy Version 4 card sequence. I asked him for his name ...he paused for about 3-5 seconds...then reply : "Yong Tai" (not sure of i remember this name correctly ?)

He asked how much i sell the sequence ?

Since it is > 1 mth from Version 4 official launch now...i kept my promise as mention in the forum earlier that our price will drop from $75 to $50 after 1 month.
So ...i told him ....its for $50 ...he say will call back again later and put down the phone call. However, i sense something wrong as the boy sound nervious when he talked to me over the phone ...and i could not understand why he took so long to tell me his real name ....

10 minutes later...my handphone rang again

It was a mother who called me ,she speak in chinese laungauge. She ask me what is sequence lsiting ? So i explain to her slowly thinking that she might be a newbie or another parent who just need more information to know more abt this AK gaming.

She started to raise her voice asking me why i sold so expensive ...and that her son had STOLEN her $ to buy the sequence from us...

Wow !! A kid stole his mum's money ?? This is serious ...

I try to clam the mother down by speaking softly over the phone trying to ask her what is her boy's name ? She do not wants to tell

I ask her which mrt station did the deal took place...trying to narrow down the guess to any speciic customers... she also do not share

This mother shouted that her son bought from us $50 and she already make a police report to charge against blog master . She mentioned that i am going around trying to cheat little children money forcing them to buy sequence at high price . she added a last comment saying that she know the boss of a arcade and had told them about me being a cheating seller ...

Before she could continue to brag...non-stop ...i just reply this statement :

"Aunty , this is misunderstanding ....i will talk to the police should they call me to report to the police station.." then i put down the phone

What the heck ?? How come this mother can accuse me being a cheater ? Yes ,its true that we had sold many sets of ver4 sequence ....usually we sold them at $75 ...excpet 2 special case where we sold to 2 different kids at $70. I can remeber that our last deal is to the boy who bought @ $60 (refer to the title " smart Buyer ,Stupid Seller" story) ...and this is the lowest we had go so far ....we had not even sold any at $50 yet ! We do understand that this mother is very upset about her son stealing $$$ ....but i am very clear that her son did not buy from us ...because we had not close any $50 deal yet ...so it should be from other sellers ...but unfortunately , i was being accursed somehow...maybe the previous call from the boy wanted to get the information and make me as a scrap goat !

until today ....we had not receive anymore phone call from the boy "Yong Tai" ,the angry mother or the Police ...Maybe its better to deal with adults for all our future dealings from now onward ? ....rather than having any dealing anything with kids... tooo much unnecessary trouble ...*sign*

This is our first time meet up in person ...she told me she wear pink shirt while her son wear red t-shirt ...wow...my 2nd surprise ////because my younger son (who is also with me) is also wearing red t-shirt !

Met up mdm Krxx with her son @ hougang mall Macdonald...we chit chat. deal some cards among ourselves ...and suddenly her son say he wanted a bronze siegfried card

I suggest that we go to the nearby Stanley's shop which is just within 2 minutes walk outside the mall .. Mdm krxx say she don't know who is stanley..haha

Reached stanley shop and i introduce mdm krxx to stanley ... and her son ask for the bronze siegfried. it is on sale @ $40 ...being a friendly boss ,he willing to let go @ $35 ...since i introduce mdm to his shop ...

Her son want it badly ...but krxx keeps thinking about the pricing...she made up her mind NOT to buy in the end ....there was disapoointment on her son's face ...

Animal Kaiser Club Launches at Cineleisure Orchard in Singapore

Every kid as they age will participate or whiff a trend that defines their childhood. For me, it was Dragonball cards before I moved on to Pokemon & Magic: The Gathering cards. For this generation, it appears that it’s back to the video game arcades for Animal Kaiser. It’s funny how most trends are really a cycle and I guess in this case, it really holds true.

Photobucket

Animal Kaiser is a collectible card game with a heavy luck aspect to it. Players are able to battle it out with the computer and at the end of a session they would be able to score a card that may or may not stack their future matches in their favour.

Collect all of the top-tier cards and use them in optimal sequence and you are on the way to wiping the competition. Throw in flashy Captain Tsubasa-style attacks, it’s just like recreating a weekend anime marathon with animals.

It is good to see the makers behind the game taking a vested interest in the community by providing them a proper place to gather to battle it out and trade cards. The market for the game is huge with not only kids taking part but parents as well.

With eight machines at Orchard Cineleisure, methinks that the number may not be enough especially with the school holidays approaching. After all, rabid support for this game has brought about near fights, not with kids, but with parents! Talk about passion!

It is this same passion that has spawned a burgeoning online community and with such a club, it would do wonders to build up an impressive offline community. After all, one of the main aims for the club is aimed to provide fellow gamers a get together locale to trade cards and forge new friendships.

From what I’ve been told, kids playing the game have gained many positive traits such as sportsmanship in terms of accepting loss gracefully. After all, you can’t always win in life right? But with all childhood distractions and leisure activities, moderation is the key. So I guess with this new venue, parents have been provided with an outlet to better monitor their child’s activities – I hope.

Before heading down to the event, I popped by one of the arcades to take a look at how Singaporeans actually engaged in the gameplay. Apparently, with enough experience, experts of the game are able to whiff out when a premium card is about to appear and they jump in to attempt to snipe the card. Nothing extraordinary really but basically the quest for such cards are attained by either hogging the machine or standing-by at the right moment for the payout.

Seeing that Singapore has just only started with the 4th edition of the game and with the 12th already out in Japan, IAH Games and Games Credit Asia might just have hit the jackpot
