Despite numerous issues circulating, this title has given itself a chance to become a part of the Audition community once more. This time, it's not going to be based solely on the e-Games management, but we Audistas can also take part in making our respected clubs claim the spotlight for one month!

With that short introduction, we present to you the nominees:

Angel of Death

How it started:

AoD was established under the leadership of Kasmot, a former Club Exoduz member on February 4, 2006. Some of the first members and co-founders of this club were Nhail, XiaoWei, Yhaj and Cuatr04. Initially, the club was made only for fun. But as time passed, more members joined and decided to change their iGN's to show their loyalty. They managed to gather a hundred members (all having the -AOD- prefix!) and became officially recognized by e-Games on June 8, 2008 at Trinoma, Quezon City.

What made this club special? Take a look at the following achievements:

• Domination II Audition Cosplay -- (Winner -AOD-Konota/JungMae)
• Club Vs. Club & Dance Competition @ NAIA Airville Pque. -- (Semi Finalist @ Basketball)
• Back to School Mini-EB @ Egg Netopia, MOA. -- (-AOD-T-Pain Finalist)
• Globe Summer Gimik @ Trinoma Q.C. -- (Awarding of Club Certificate)
• A2 Anniversary IRL Fashionista -- (3rd Place -AOD-EmoGirl)

Random Fact:

The name "Angel of Death" was adapted from an existing club in Audition SEA.

Soul Society

Their history unfolded.

It all began with four Audition players: -Roxx07 (-SS-Fire),IPilay (-SS-Wind),OoDaniRoseoO (-SS-Water), and Rom28 (-SS-Earth). Bonded by their friendship and the game they love, they decided to form a club and named it Soul Society. The club took its form on May 28, 2007. The club swiftly rose into popularity as the members contributed to the Audition community, both in forum and in-game. They even launched their own events for their members and other players. This took the attention of the Audition Community Game Masters and at the game's first anniversary, Soul Society was officially recognized not only by everyone, but e-Games as well.

What made this club special? Take a look at the club's achievements and contributions:

Truth be told, the list of their achievements is reaaaaaaaally long to be enumerated one by one, the ones I'll be putting here are some of the major highlights of their accomplishments:

• Recognized by e-Games Philippines as one of the legitimate Audition Dance Battle Clubs (Awarded at the 1st AuditionPH Anniversary)
• #5 in the Top 15 AuditionPH Clubs (according to number of members) by GM Lowe
• One of AuditionPH's Top Clubs (with 30 members and above) by GM Lowe
• Attended the 1st Ever Audition "CLUB" Assembly
• Won numerous competitions organized by different clubs.
• Players have participated, nominated and won in Audition Fashionista events.You can view the full list of their club achievements here: http://audition.tehsoulsociety.org/achievements.html
• Hosted and arranged their events during their first club anniversary. You can read all about them here: http://audition.tehsoulsociety.org/contributions.html
• Contributed guides and discussion threads for the community in the forums. Threads can be found at the same link.

Random Fact: Soul Society is not named after the city of Shinigamis in Bleach or is related to that anime in any way. Some members may have been fans of it, but not the whole club in general.

The Saints

How it came to be:

The Saints became a well-established club recently and its roots traces back last year. The club was already active last March 2007, but it became officially open to the public a month after. The founders (including ~TS~LorDJE, The Saints' Club Master) were already hooked to the game since the beta days and stood strong together up to this date. The club was included in Audition Ph's Top 15 Clubs and was officially recognized along with the Soul Society during Audition's first anniversary last year.

Walking down their hall of achievements.

• First club to actually have uniforms on game, iRL, & an entry exam.
• First club to reach 300 members and still steadily growing.
• One of AuditionPH's Top 15 Clubs.
• Champions @ Audition Basketball League
• Member of the Audition Interview Staff ( ~TS~HuGs )
• E-Games Mini EB : Top 3 for the possible 6 players for Team PH
• Clubmaster recognition for initiative and active dedication to shaping the Audition Community ( Awarded by GM Lowe w/ Pics ) - LordJE

Random Fact: Almost 60% of the club members came from Laguna and South Luzon. The members are also fond of bar hopping after an on-ground event!

Labels: Club of the Month

Today, we present you three eligibles for this month. Scroll down until the end of this entry to know more not only about them, but also how to help them earn the title!

EA Eligible Number 1: -AMF-Alena

We first saw her dazzling character in Audition November Fashionista and grabbed the crown for the taking. This proud Audition Most Famous (AMF) member has also won the recent Audition iRL Fashionista, a cosplay competition at A2: Audition's Second Anniversary. She has also been known for being true to herself and standing for her friends who are sometimes being misjudged by others. A loyal friend as described by her friends and clubmates, she has captured the eyes of the community and was nominated to become a candidate for this event.

EA Eligible Number 2: -B-sHoBeWeLa

-B-sHoBeWeLa has been playing since the game's Beta stages. She established a club called Audition Babies and her leadership has been going smoothly up to this date. While managing her club, she also excels in academic leadership as a member of her school's student council. Now that's one well-rounded candidate!

EA Eligible Number 3: -AOD-Kasmot

This guy also has played Audition since Closed Beta as a member Club Exoduz (one of the pioneer clubs in Audition Ph). He soon left the club to establish his own which he named Angel of Death. AOD, as most people call this club for short, has been very active in-game and is considered one of the most popular clubs in Audition Ph, and he has exerted a lot of effort to make this club stand still until now.

There you have them! Time to get your mobile phones ready and vote! Who knows, you might be picked up during the raffle and win a pet for one year! You may start voting on December 1, 2008. Voting will end at the end of December.

To all nominees, you have one month to do your campaign! You can ask a request to one of the Community Game Masters and he or she will sponsor and help you win!

We'll keep you guys updated so stick with us until the end. For now, tata~!

Labels: Exceptional Audista

Featured Audista: Chan Salarda (a.k.a. -VSA-_cLoNE)

This player has caught our attention while we were organizing our mini-booth before the event. Believe it or not, this player can play the game with his arms crossed (left hand at the arrows and the right at the spacebar)! Every player has his own playing style, and this little guy we interviewed proved to us that playing Audition knows no limits or handicaps.

AI: What inspired you to play Audition?
Chan: I am inspired because I am also a dancer at our school so I enjoy playing Audition.

AI: Do you think you have an edge on other players?
Chan: I think I do have an edge kahit papaano.

AI: What games or modes in Audition are you good at?
Chan: I am good at Beat Up mode and also in 1-2 Party. For the Beat Up I am good at playing the song Techno Party and for the 1-2 Party I enjoy the song Doop Doop.

AI: Have you ever competed in other tournaments?
Chan: Yes, In-Game I have joined tournaments although sometimes they are not the typical tournament or events that the Game Masters are holding. Sometimes even the normal players endorse their own event so in line with this I also join their events.

AI: Do you or have you ever considered yourself being "mamaw" in-game?
Chan: I am really not that so called "MAMAW" but I just enjoy playing.

AI: Can you balance your studies and Audition?
Chan: Yes, I give priority to my studies, playing online games comes later after finishing my academic requirements.

AI: What can you say about Audition as a game?
Chan: It's a good game because it does not promote violence.

AI: What can you say to the people who discriminate Audition?
Chan: I would not react to what they are saying because I believe that Audition is a good game and I enjoy it.

AI: Do you have any message to Audistas who have disabilities but still play?
Chan: Though you have a disability, if you want and love what you are doing then go and prove to the people who discriminate you that they are wrong.

AI: How bout saying something to the whole Audition community?
Chan: Continue playing because Audition is a good game.

IGN: DesuSteph

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, childred of all ages! May we welcome you to our newest, coolest, and exciting program that has set-foot in the dance floor, here it
is! The Audition Spotlight!

You've seen her a lot in the forums, helping one concerned player to another. She has
contributed a lot to the point that she made her way to forum moderating. And now, she has made her way to this site as our first person to be seated under the Audition Spotlight. Read on!

Let's welcome, our very own, the one, the only! FM Kouzaki!

Interview with Steph..

1. Sino nga ba si Steph? If you were to describe yourself, how would you do it?

-- Hmmm...I'm someone who's far from perfect but I'm happy with what and who I am.
To make it easy to understand, let's make it like this. There are three things: Pen, Sword and Shield. If you were to choose, ano ka sa tatlong bagay na ito and why?

-- I'd choose a pen since I was never that head-on type of person who can, you know, "fight with a sword"...I'm more of the silent-writer who observes everything around her. She doesn't complain. She reacts.

2. Tell us how you started playing Audition PH.

-- Once upon a time, I came to an internet cafe. I saw all these people playing a dancing game called "Audition"...I tried the game agad since I've always dreamt of learning how to dance HipHop.

3. Upon leaving your club (Audition Most Wanted), do you have any plans of joining other Audition clubs? If you were to choose, what club would it probably be and why?

-- I recently joined a group that I was eyeing for a long time (even before I joined AMW, this group had already caught my interest but was too scared to apply XD). This Audition club has turned into an online gaming community named "Quaelum Circle", a.k.a. "Unpopular". I joined this group because I saw a great bond among the members and I've looked up to some particular members of this group for a long time now.

4. What is your favorite mode in-game? What made you like that mode?

-- C4. I enjoy playing this game mode better than the others because it's less tiring to play then other game modes...I'm usually a chatty person in-game, so I'd prefer a game mode wherein I'd be able to talk a lot. XD

5. If you were given a chance to become a Technical Game Master of Audition PH for a month, what features will you change and improve?

-- Before improving anything, I would first see what I can do to help solve the different problems in-game since these problems should be the first priority of the Game Masters.

6. Saan ka mas addict, in-game or sa forums?

-- I wouldn't call it as an addiction, but I spend more time in the forums rather than in-game. Unlike before, I play Audition casually, not addictively.

7. Are you really the mysterious New Forum Moderator Kouzaki?

-- Since the question has been asked, there's nothing I can do about it (I don't like lying, either). So, my answer would be, yes.

8. What are your unique personalities in-game and IRL that others don't have?

-- I am overly and ultimately sarcastic, to the point that I irritate people at times ~_~. Pero when it would come to responsibilities and serious matters, I'm serious, VERY serious. Happy-go-lucky din ako :)).

9. What can you say to those who discriminate the low-leveled ones in the game? Any words of encouragement for them?

-- May kasabihan ako diyan,eh..Hmm..Looking down on others just makes you worse than them.
My word of encouragement: Change.

10. What can you say to all E-Gamers that are reading this interview?

-- With pure intentions and an open-mind, ANYONE can be anything they want to be.

Follow up question from Writer:

Question: (Secret Question)


Steph: I'll make the two life vests fit us all, I'll find a way ...they're two people who I believe doesn't deserve to die. even suki-don ~_~
