I'll be back gaming soon, with a newer team and better gaming. Semper Fi.

Migration

The majority of the clan is leaving for Steam. Of course we do sometimes come back to Garena for a little fun. Soon we'll be training and playing at steam full time after our studies. We decided to leave for Steam due to Garena's sudden outburst of hackers and I don't know what. We have tried to tolerate as long as we could but sometimes people just love to push our luck. Anyway hoping to see a few familiar people along the way. Nova will not be class as inactive, we are just disappearing from Garena.

Holidays

Chinese New Year was some what average. Not much celebration besides just eating dinner at fanciful places. Sorry for not wishing earlier but it's better late than never. So, Happy Chinese New Year to all and those who read this blog. Dearly hope that we will be granted the prosperity of clan matches and many more luck to those looking for it.

Trashed & Owned

Awesome match against team LALAMUI. Thanks to Peter, Josh, Marky, Chubby and Pz. Though I did not really know the identity of the last 3 guys, I did know they are from PWYH clan. One of the proest team in Malaysia and they did pawned us up real good. A good experience learning from real pros. Had to admit we were shaky before the match started, our concentration dropped to the extent we were so blur which bombsite to go. This match has definitely given us the confidence to try harder and to stay calm under pressure. Thanks once again for giving us a chance to play against one of the best in Malaysia. :) And good luck to Josh on his studies in UK.

Training

Back to athletics training. Real tiring due to slacking for 2 months. Thighs are really killing it so are the cramps too. 3 months to work myself up to fitness again and then maybe I'll post a picture of some sort. Anyway MSSD here I come. Last year should be my greatest performance. Hoping that we'll break records. :) Will be off the computer for quite some time.

Back To School

After enjoying 2 months of holiday, school is back. Thanks to [TfC] clan for matching with us during the last hours of the holidays and it was a great time playing against you guys. So, Nova is expected to play less now in Garena due to exams and studies. Will be back in December so keep on rocking without us. Hope by the time we return others clan might want to have a clan match with us.
The Novian Dog has been updated with a couple of new songs, Brick By Boring Brick by Paramore and Meet Me Halfway by one of my fav artists Black Eyed Peas. Didn't really liked Sexy Chicks by Akon and David Guetta so sorry to Akon fans. Just loaded it with a few All American Rejects song. Personally loved it. Enjoy. :)

Preparation

We have an upcoming match against [wZ] clan. They experienced a newer revolution during their time as ReV and now come back in force. So please note that all the members of [wZ] are still the same members of ReV except for those few that have joined in the later period of ReV. Another clan would be -[TfC] would are now famed for their first clan match victory against Cq. So everyone should pay heed to who their coming up against with. The match against -[TfC] would be next week and they are also on standby to recieve word from Brayant whne we might want it. Last but not least, the friendly against shencez. Yea, we've been all wanting challenge him so here's the time. And remember it's even harder because he's going to be on LAN too. Lag has no boundaries for us here.

Peace and Tranquility

I have decided to remove the previous post due to our peace with ReV clan and upon the compliance of their clan lord. We have come to a certain understanding and all prior rudeness or whatsoever is cleared. I have asked for a clan match, not a rematch because their clan lord has asked for a make over between Nova and ReV and with all due respect I have asked for a clan match as a sign of peace treaty. And besides I think it was not fair for them during the previous match that they were not ready and unfamiliar to the rules of engagement of a clan match. According to their latest update, their clan lord has managed to recruit a few pros and therefore he is confident in taking my challenge. Your knowledge of a clan match has now been adequate and my organizer will have no sorts of problems from ReV if we are to have a peaceful match. As I assured you Washinub has not been the one spamming your chatbox and please do not direct anything that is negative to Nova.

Return Of The Lord

The reign of power of Nova's hierarchy has been given back to me. Actcute has assumed control of Nova for the pass few weeks and has finally decided to strip himself of such power due to the burden of maintaining peace and order in the clan. And to Ace, I have already tested you out and so has Actcute. No hard feelings but we are now closed. You should be considered lucky we even decided to test you, there was nothing to be sad about. Train harder and maybe in the future we might accept. Your age at the moment is not very suitable and the majority of my members have come to a unanimous decision. Good luck in the future.

Temporary Change In Power

Due to my ongoing and busy life, I have decided without hesitation to transcend temporary shift of power and leadership of Nova to my trusted second-in-command Actcute. He will assume the role of steward and therefore all judgements and call will be made by him. The responsibility of the team and Nova now lies in his hands. All clan matches will now be dealt by him and so is the team chosen to play. Whatever matter please regard to him.

End Year Exams & Activities

Well, it's nearing to the end of the year and my exams are on for 11 days. Nova won't be playing for awhile so wish us luck. 8 more days to go and the hardest part hasn't come yet.
My end year exam is almost coming to an end. It was suppose to finish today but now we got to drag it all the way till Monday. Anyway it's still enjoyment and holiday for me.
Not many things going on around in school so Nova might be taking a few days off to practice on our game. Anyone who is interested in having a game with Nova please do so kindly by contacting our two known organizers : Actcute & Washinub and no one else.
After our little excursion with [PAX], we are willing to challenge those only who possess the right attitude to play with and none other.
