Okay, but what is this play-act?

It is Role Play(-act) Gaming. Or, to be exact: cRPG. The Mana World is the internet game for many players I enjoy lately. This project is free, non-commercial, in creation by hotheads as free software. It is not finished, continuously something new appears, something changes, to be honest: all players are testers and guinea-pigs. But it has its own charm and one may like it.

As I stated once, in every game funny and unusual situations occur, especially, when various folks from all over the world meet. It would be a pityful waste to not document them, and so the idea of the blog appeared.

Why such name? Mañana — from Spanish (tomorrow) is in Poland synonym of relaxed approach to life where no hurry exists. That is how i play the game and that is haw thos blog will be (I hope) maintained.

If you know at least basic English (I suppose you do, if you are reading this), you may like to try The Mana World. The game is available for various operating systems. Do not expect hyper-graphics, but you may expect fun and kind play-mates.

• The Mana World official site.

• Portable installer (so that you may install it on a pendrive and take to work).

• The Mana World wiki.

• Polish version of this blog, where some useful tips and translations form wiki should appear, as there is no Polish tutorials to the game.

Do not kill, do not steal, because it's funny

This player seemed to be strange from the first impression. He was prowling around me with no obvious reason. And was doing nothing useful. Not killing monsters, not exping… He was continuously standing begind my back, when I was fighting yellow slimes in search for iron ore. Eventually, when I was battling several black scorpions and red slimes, he grabbed leather shirt which had been dropped by a killed monster and bolted. Not far away, I have spotted him in the next tunnel. „You took my shirt” I said. „No!” he denied, but he must had realised this sounds not very reliable, so he decided to eliminate the theft witnesses. „I kill you” he stated and he really tried to attack me. Obviously unsuccesfully and I was rolling on my chair, laughing, so he run away before I was able to do anything.

What was so funny about it? It reminded me Ahmed — the Dead Terrorist. That is how this „i kill you” sounded for me. Right after this incident I decided to start a blog about the game. Oh, if you do not know Ahmed, please watch the movie and try to imagine this „i kill you” in the dark tunnel of mine.

I haven't seen comrade Jolle since then. If you ever meet him, greet him from me and ask, if the shirt wears well.
