#thought ruler archfiend

[trident-dragion]

While I'm posting my Over the Nexus thoughts tonight, here's a bit of a peek behind the curtain. I have a set of 10 Synchro Monsters I consider to be "staples". By default, every Deck I make has all of these, plus 5 more that are more specific to that Deck, such as extra copies of one of those, non-generic Synchros, or just semi-staples I don't always play but sometimes use if I have room to spare. These are, in ascending order of level: Ally of Justice Catastor, Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, Goyo Guardian, Black Rose Dragon, Colossal Fighter, Red Dragon Archfiend, Scrap Dragon, Stardust Dragon, Thought Ruler Archfiend, and Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier. It's kinda weighted towards level 8 Synchros, but oftentimes I need more than 5 slots to fit in everything I want a Deck to run. Usually when it's time to cut things, I start with Colossal Fighter or Thought Ruler Archfiend, because those are the 8s that come up the least for me (though I'm biased towards Red Dragon Archfiend, so maybe other people would cut that first). Usually I try to cut them as a pair, not because they have any synergy or anything, but because it's hard for me to decide which of them comes up more often and it's easier for me to just not think about it

Thought Ruler Archfiend

“1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters If this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the GY: Gain LP equal to that monster’s original ATK in the GY. When a Spell/Trap Card is activated that targets 1 Psychic monster (and no other cards) (Quick Effect): You can pay 1000 LP; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.”

[pataheart]

also, meden x princess x hero post patapon 3?

i somehow didnt notice this ask im so sorry.. but sure! whatd you call this ship anyway.. it feels perfect for a sort of -shipping prefix name. il be imagining hero as like.. uberhero, if thats okay!

-meden, after being freed from stone, is incredibly active. stretching night and day and even taking more of a part of looking over the patapons- its like shes making up for not being there.

-princess still feels saddened about being taken over by an archfiend, but meden isnt mad at her. hell, meden reveals she has her own sexual thoughts and that its.. normal. it makes princess not worry so much about what happened before.

-both princess, meden, and eventually uberhero all work together to make sure the rest of the patapons are alright. some even debate if they all are the rulers of the patapons, as princess doesnt mind sharing that title.

-sometimes meden would drip her cloak onto the two when theyre sleeping. she often watches and works late, and the one good thing about it is knowing those closest to her are safe.

-while princess stays home, meden actually goes out with uberhero with monster slaying missions. she wants to be more intune with what the patapons are doing now, and hell, she gets to explore and see more of the land! uberhero doesn't really mind.

-uberhero and meden are actually good fighters together; nobody is really sure how meden became good, but maybe she was just training in secret. besides, almighty and a beloved hero are by her side!

OKAY LAST OF YGO POSTING FOR NOW. I GUESS.

Duelists tend to get like. Spirit partners (aka just the monsters in the card), so I was thinking of the spirit partners of the Blur/Blight guys; some of these are small, while the bigger ones are either.. pocket-sized, or are their Actual Size, but they just don't appear as often as the smaller ones.

Additionally, they can have more than one, which tends to be the case as some of them may have connections to more than just their ace card! So, they have both a regular monster and their ace card as partners!

Also, some of them can talk, some are just making noises, and some are.. both. Either way, they mostly communicate telepathically.

Under readmore since there's pictures!

Episode 36.

This episode is written by Shin Yoshida.

The episode begins with Dr. Schmitt finishing his operation on Yusei.

Rally, and co. caught a fever due to the events of the last night.

Yanagi, and Himuro crash to Lua, and Ruka's penthouse. Lua explains Ruka's situation, and how she is frail. Again, this is a Shin Yoshida episode.

Lua assumes Life Stream Dragon is actually sealed inside Power Tool Dragon, and he might be the Last Signer, but Ruka doubts Lua is correct. Others agree. They are incorrect.

This IS a Shin Yoshida episode.

Ruka calls Earthbound Immortals "Jashin" (Evil God), a title used by many other cards, and beings, but most notably Geh, and Zorc.

Lua starts calling Aki nee-chan (Big Sis Aki) from this episode onward.

Others eventually agree to Lua's plan of contacting Aki through the Arcadia Movement.

Aki is practicing against a dummy. The dummy uses The Fiend Megacyber, one of Esper Roba's proto-Psychic cards.

Divine realises that Yusei is on Aki's mind, and he tries to take back control over her.

We see more of Aki's flashbacks, one of which involve her burning her schoolbooks.

Divine states Yusei cannot save her, and only he can provide for her.

One of Divine's followers state Himuro is calling him.

We cut to Yusei, who is still having a nightmare about the last night.

Martha explains the situation. Yusei's initial assumption is implied to be that he is actually dead, but Martha clears the situation. Martha states Crow has left, and while preparing an apple (similar to Mikage in Jack-Carly episodes), she states he needs to get the power of his foster brothers, and friends.

Himuro, Yanagi, Lua, and Ruka are having a fancy meal with Divine, with fancy clothes. Lua, due to being written by Shin Yoshida this episode, gives him every detail he has. Divine leaves, and the gang are drugged by a sleeping agent.

Divine reveals he was planning to recruit Ruka eventually. Prof. Frank Duel already suggested that unlike the usual Spirit Seers, Ruka's power might be Psychic in nature (cause this is a primarily sci-fi series with occult elements, not the opposite as it was historically the case for 5D's), but this will be a dropped plot point later on.

Divine reveals he wants Lua's potential special power, we don't know it yet, but Divine wants to awaken his Signer powers, and by proxy, the latent Psychic powers he shares with Ruka, as implied in the Prof. Frank episodes. Again, the second part becomes a dropped plot point.

This idea would presumably become the idea of making Life Stream Dragon a Synchro Tuner, thus implying Lua might have a lower level version of Clear Mind, but that hasn't been followed upon since.

Lua asks what is the Arcadia Movement, Divine, being written by Yoshida this episode, actually explains it.

Ruka asks Aki why they are being cruel, Aki explains this is a test to awaken his powers. Ruka didn't meet up with Rex, of course, so she isn't aware Fortune Cup was a test to awaken her powers.

After Summoning Thought Ruler Archfiend, Divine presumes Lua has no power, and defeats him. During this, we see Power Tool responding to Lua's defeat.

****

This episode is the debut of Psychic-Types in the animé, which are the new Type introduced in YGO for 5D's era.

Divine's Deck has no particular theme, much like Yusaku with his generic Cyberse, all generic Psychic monsters are theoretically Divine's.

Thought Ruler Archfiend, being the first major Psychic Synchro, will get many variants in OCG.

We may discuss these more in detail in a later post.

This episode is particularly amusing, since most of the dropped, and delayed plot points of this episode come from Yoshida himself, which suggests executive meddling had more to do with these specific plotlines being dropped, than Yoshida's poor planning.

This episode will establish the foster brotherhood between Crow, Yusei, and Jack, and why this specific trio is more important Yusei's other long-time associates.

Nightmell the Dark Bonder

Level 4 WIND Psychic Effect Monster (1500 ATK, 1500 DEF)

You can Tribute 1 monster; Special Summon from your Deck, 1 monster with the same original Type, Attribute, Level, and ATK/DEF as the Tributed monster, but with a different original name. If you Tributed a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, you can Special Summon a monster from your Extra Deck instead that meets those same criteria. You can only use this effect of "Nightmell the Dark Bonder" once per turn.

-

This monster can summon many things that have levels, even from the extra. 

First of all, tributing itself can get Risebell the Star Psycher, who has a once per turn quick effect to target a monster and permanently increase it’s level by 1.

I was more focused on trying to summon weird stuff from the extra, and finding a match was rarer than I thought... unless you were a level 8 dark dragon.

8 Dark Dragon 2500/2000: Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes, Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing, Albion the Branded Dragon, Titaniklad the Ash Dragon, Albion the Shrouded Dragon

8 Dark Dragon 2800/2000: Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Starving Venemy Lethal Dose Dragon, Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom

8 Dark Dragon 3000/2000: Red Dragon Archfiend, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend, Performapal Odd-Eyes Metal Claw, Brave-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Darkest Diabolos, Lord of the Lair

8 Dark Dragon 3000/2500: Odd-Eyes Phantasma Dragon, Chaos Emperor the Dragon of Armageddon, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, Hundred Eyes Dragon, Chaos Ruler the Chaotic Magical Dragon, Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon, Dark Magician the Dragon Knight, Borreload Furious Dragon

Those aren’t the only options, but they are most of the useful ones. here are some others:

Use Instant Fusion to summon Thousand-Eyes Restrict or Millennium-Eyes Restrict, then tribute it to summon the other one free of Instant Fusion's restrictions.

In a Malefic deck, Malefic Paradox Dragon can be tributed to summon Beelzeus of the Diabolic Dragons.

In a Red-Eyes deck, Archfiend Black Skull Dragon can be tributed to summon Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss.

That’s it. There are other things, but in those cases it would be easily just summoning the monster you want rather than summoning something else and going through Nightmell. There is also probably some interesting stuff to be summoned from the main deck, but I didn’t check for that.

[red-dragon-archfiend]

Y'know maybe I should sometime post a list of decks I've played in Over the Nexus with brief thoughts on each of them

Some Gods

Hey there.

I’m still under hiatus as I am going through some massive changes at work due to the new position, so I will be slow to return.

In the meantime, I did some more write-ups of my original setting, including some art done by V who you can find their art here.

This is Prasaat, counterpart to Pras over on @omnipokemonproducts . In this continuity he is the Demi-god son of Keenan, who is the man-made god of fiends and the newest god of greed.

Prasaat was the first of Keenan’s children and was raised immensely sheltered, groomed and manipulated into trying to kill his parent. Once Keenan became too much of a wild card for Proserp Inc, the mega corp that created them, to control; the board decided to make Prasaat into Keenan’s successor. This does not go well and Pras becomes another thorn in the side of the company.

Now he is on the run, not just from Proserp Inc, but Keenan themself who wants him to return to the fold as their envoy. He now works as a fiend archiver and a paranormal investigator.

His personality is very curious and dorky, always asking questions when they arise. Prasaat is also friendly and warm to everyone around him. The only exception being most of his fiend siblings, especially the Seven Archfiends, all of whom want to have Keenan’s approval. Which includes all of them wanting to either capture or kill him.

Valerus the counterpart to Roldabonz on this blog. He is a god associated with space travel, aether and the Envoy of Kelv Rion, the weather god.

Valerus is a futurist who, instead of focusing on his assumed duty as being the envoy for the uncontrollable weather entity, spends most of his time in outer space with his and Hina-Oio building colonies in different parts of the solar system. More specifically focusing on Venus, Mars, Europa and Saturn’s ring.

Despite his tendency to speak on futurism and pacifism, he is something of a pessimist on matters connected to Earth. The geopolitical situation on Earth becoming so fragile that he and his followers move to the stars in order to avoid the problems. One common criticism is he is dodging responsibilities where he is critical to not only fix the world, but to be able to speak on behalf of one of the gods causing the most damage.

This has led to the slang term of being a Val, which means someone who puts off responsibilities to do half thought out plans.

Apolly, the second Alastor, Envoy for AyDeOn. Goddess of energy, nuclear energy, technology and homunculi.

Apolly serves as the guardian for all three Progenitors, able to spawn herself in spare bodies planted across the world. She is unique among the 3 Envoys in that her core breaks apart and reforms every 30 years. This has formed into a religious tradition where people watch in order to get a potential blessing. It is said those who watch the reformation three times will live a prosperous life. Each time she dies, she will adopt a new form, one that is a composite of all the species of Earth.

Her prime magic ability is time alteration where she is able to alter one’s perception of time and even able to go back in time or speed up a set of actions. The most she can time travel back in time is 3 hours and she needs to be at max power. She serves as the basis for Homunculi, right down to having a set lifespan. She killed Gabriel 3/Brigid and took on the moniker without losing herself to the angelic energy

She is the most hands off with her followers, but she is the most supportive to the planet as a whole, working with world leaders on behalf of a majority of the gods. Apolly was also the person that enabled people to take pieces of AyDeOn to make self-sustaining cities, without the need for gas and an infinite supply of electricity.

Odajad, God of the Dead, the Dionysian, the modern Helios. The reoccurring martyr. The reincarnating god.

The ruler of the Land of the Dead and is connected by the other 3 Progenators, has lived as countless deities over the years and is one of the few gods that is completely immortal. His list of aliases include Drummiz, Osiris, Dionysus, Jarilo and Adonis.

He was reborn when the Zagrean heart was given to Nebiolo and he was reborn through the flesh god. Tends to go on sabbaticals in order to learn about the living world. He has issued a policy that no one shall ever come back from the dead. To make this absolute he obliterated the afterlife, recycling all the souls living there into Aether that make new souls. The only exception to this rule are the Jinn, who have a special agreement due to a deal he made with Iblis, god-king of the Jinn during his rise to the throne of the Tartarus.

Despite his seemingly lazy, casual demeanor, he is a stubborn strictly for the law of dead being dead. He shows utter ruthlessness and an inability to compromise with the old gods remaining on this.

In addition, he founded a religious order to agents to hunt down those who try to extend their life force beyond their time. Odajad is the only chthonic god that is actively prayed to and is prayed to by Dionysians, who use a mixture of alcohol and drug use in order to use magic and enhance their strength.

fav moment playing yugioh?

Ooh, I have a few, but one is probably back when Dueling Network was still a thing, I had this rp buddy I played with that I called Toma, and we played all the time on DN before it went down, and there was a duel where in the first couple of turns, I managed to summon 2 Synchro Monsters, Magical Android and Thought Ruler Archfiend and was about to summon Dark Paladin, and kept gaining lifepoints, until he just gave up and left the battle. I still have the screenshot

Another favorite moment of mine is kinda stupid, but my little brother and I both play YGO, and we have actual decks and decks in video games, and the main video game we play is the DS game YGO 5D'S: 2010 Reverse of Arcadia, and whenever we play om there, he wins 9 times out of 10, but whenever we use our actual decks, I'm the one who wins 9 times out of 10. So its fun to argue over what way we play. We usually play the DS game, but the rare time we play the actual card game, its really fun.

2) The first two Signer Dragons: Red Dragon Archfiend and the cover card of the pack and Yusei Fudo’s ace: Stardust Dragon

3) The release of the Psychic-Type, including Mind Master, Krebons, and Thought Ruler Archfiend (and of course Emergency Teleport)

That all being said, today will feature three cards from the pack. Hope you all enjoy.

(Become the path its light shines upon...)

Geryon (Archdevil, Planescape)

To really get what I’m about to say, you need to understand. I goddamn love Levistus. He was the first Archdevil I used and understood as a character. I use him whenever possible. 

Lately, I’ve been having to find reasons to keep him in my campaign. 

Not that it’s his fault or that I find him any less interesting. Remember how I said @wesschneider reinvented Mephistopheles for me? He did the same thing to Geryon. 

Pathfinder’s Geryon is one of those awesome, memorable NPCs that just sticks with you. Based on the image above, you may think Geryon is a triple-bodied humanoid with three snake tails. In actuality, Geryon is a triple-bodied snake that can vomit forth the torsos of anyone it has consumed. That’s just metal in all of the right ways for a Lord amongst devils. Add on to the fact that Geryon is actually an asura rana that Asmodeus somehow convinced into betraying the other ranas, along with kyton demagogues and gigas warlords? 

Best. Archfiend. Ever. (And you know I love me some archfiends) 

So how do we resolve the continuity snarl that is the Reckoning of Baator while still keeping Geryon an Archfiend and a relevant NPC? What I have done is create a new Archfiend position: Hell’s Traitor. This archfiend acts as a foil for all of the others and plots against Asmodeus openly. Sometimes, I stick with Planescape’s cannon and say Geryon got demoted to Hell’s Traitor after the Reckoning. Other times, Geryon emerges unscathed, and Levistus is Hell’s Traitor (and let’s be honest, he basically is already). If I want to get really tricky, I have Geryon and Asmodeus pull a long con on everyone to convince them that Geryon is out of favour when he’s really the real ruler of Styigia. Fun times with the Source of Lies. 

Geryon is surprisingly popular amongst the Dustmen. The Sources of Lies has one central aphorism, “you are the lie.” Dustmen take this to heart and try to understand all the ways that lies bind the soul to the world of False Death. That doesn’t necessarily make them more truthful, but they certainly are reflective and deliberate in their actions. 

History is nothing but a set of lies we agree upon. While the truth may be the goal of historians, all scholars of the past must make inferences that are based on their own biases and preconceptions, which introduce misconceptions and falsehoods into the historical record. The Blasphemers of the Pasts are a group of Guvners who worship Geryon and make it their business to study these unintentional lies so as to ferret out the secrets of the unwitting liers. 

The relationship between Geryon and Abraxas is one of the few strong ties across the Abyss and Baator. Both Fiendish Lords are masters of secret knowledge and serpents who have a very loose relationship with the truth. Surprisingly, they carry little more of a grudge than a friendly personal rivalry with each other. That friendliness does not automatically extend to their priests, but the celestial planes find it very concerning none the less. 

Note: I decided a while back not to do any archfiends until Book of the Damned comes out, barring something major happening. Well, something happened. 

Wes announced today that he is leaving Paizo to move on to his next step in life. It's a really bittersweet moment. I’m happy because Wes is excited about this change, but he has written some of the most awesome things at Paizo. His contributions to the game over the last decade will be sorely missed. I think my favourite day writing this blog was the day that I saw Wes was following me and I absolutely freaked out because I thought my writing was nowhere near good enough to warrant Paizo’s Editor-in-Chief enjoying it. 

Wes, thank you for everything you’ve done. You are a wonderful human being and an inspiration to us all, both for the stories we tell and the radical kindness and understanding you show in your day to day life. I wish you all the best and I dearly hope that one day I get to work with you to make our little corner of the world a bit more awesome.

Off The Forest Path: An Omenshipping Oneshot

I’m posting this a day late, but I made it for day 6 of @yu-ri-oh‘s YGO Femslash Week. The prompt was “fairy tale/witches”. It’s (very)  loosely based on Little Red Riding Hood. 

“Carly,” said the old man, “I need you to take this scroll to the town crier, so that the news may be spread.”

“But, Grandfather, the only way to the town crier’s cottage is through the woods,” Carly protested.

“Do not stray off the path, and wear your read hood, and all will be well, my child,” Grandfather assured her.

“But, I hear tell in the village that there is an evil witch in the woods,” Carly said, trembling. “I hear that she controls an evil lizard monster that eats girls for breakfast.”

“Balderdash,” Grandfather argued. “There is no such thing as witches.”

“I-if you say so, Grandfather,” Carly decided, and pulled her scarlet hood over her head as she exited the house, scroll in her shaking fist.

She tried to stay on the forest path, but, soon enough, she became awfully thirsty. She heard the sound of a river rushing in the distance. I know Grandfather said not to stray from the path, she considered. But, if it’s only for a moment…..

Her throat was so parched that she could not help but follow the sound of the trickling water. Soon, she found  a clear stream. She pulled the hood off her face as she bent to drink.

Her eyes went wide behind her round spectacles when she saw, standing behind her own reflection, the figure of a wild, hulking wolf.

Carly screamed and instinctively lept forward, away from the wolf’s threatening maws. She tumbled, cursing her foolishness, into the water.  Her lungs filled with liquid as she sank deeper and deeper. She thrashed, desperately trying to swim back to the surface, but the current was too strong.

I’m going to drown, she thought, horrified, as water filled her nose, her mouth, her eyes. I’m going to die here all alone.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of strong hands lift her from the water, and she found herself choking, soaked, but miraculously safe, on the riverbank.  A beautiful woman with jet black hair stood before her, smiling.

“Did I die and become a spirit?” Carly gasped. “Are you an angel, here to welcome me to heaven?”

“I’m not an angel,” the mysterious rescuer laughed. “I am a witch.”

“A witch?!” Carly shrank back in horror. “You’re the evil witch the legends say lives in these woods?”

“I am most certainly not evil,” the woman frowned, looking offended. She gently stretched out a hand in Carly’s direction. “Please do not be afraid of me. I promise, I mean you no harm.”

Carly peeked out from between the hands she had used to cover her frightened eyes. The witch’s smile was so gentle, she realized. And the witch had saved her from drowning. Perhaps she was a good witch, after all.

“My name is Misty,” the witch introduced. “What is yours?”

“My name is Carly,” Carly replied. “But, many in the village call me Little Red Riding Hood.”

“I care not what the villagers call anyone,” Misty scoffed, “for they call me evil!”

“They say you’re the master of an evil lizard monster that eats girls,” Carly recalled.

“I do keep a lizard monster,” Misty confessed.

“You what?!” Carly gaped.

“But he is not evil,” Misty corrected. “His name is Ccarayhua. And he eats no girls – his diet consists solely of evil men.”

“Evil men?” Carly repeated, fascinated.

“Aye,” Misty nodded. “Recently, Ccarayhua and I happened upon a high tower, where an evil sorcerer had locked a beautiful witch.”

“A witch?” Carly cocked her head, confused. “Not a princess?”

“Her father was a king,” Misty admitted. “So, she was born a princess, I suppose. But, the king feared her powers, and wanted to have her executed. So, she ran from home, and fell in love with the wicked sorcerer. He taught her black magic, and so she became known as the Black Rose Witch.”

“So, she is evil!” Carly insisted.

“I thought that at first, too,” Misty revealed. “But, then I came to understand that the witch only ever wanted to be loved. The sorcerer manipulated that pure wish, and used it to unlock the witch’s forbidden power. He wanted to make her his soldier, so that he could take over the kingdom, and become the new king.”

“If the witch’s father would have had her hanged,” Carly wondered, “why should the witch care if her father is usurped by the sorcerer?”

“The king deeply regretted the way he treated his daughter,” Misty explained. “He had sent his knights to search for her for many years.  Not to kill her, but to bring her home, so that he could tell her he was sorry, and that he loved her.”

“So, His Majesty is a good king, after all,” Carly realized.

“Yes,” Misty nodded. “But, the sorcerer conspired to keep the witch away from the king. This was an injustice. And so, I bade Ccarayhua to eat the sorcerer, so that the witch-princess could walk free.”

“Wow,” Carly said, awed.

“Witches are seldom wicked at heart, despite what the stories say,” Misty said with a serious look. “If you would like, little Carly, I could teach you how to be a witch, too.”

“Me?” Carly said uncertainly. “A witch? I don’t think I’m strong enough.”

“You’re stronger than you know,” Misty disagreed.

“I don’t look strong,” Carly frowned, looking down at her petite body.

“You, little Carly, need to stop judging things by how they look,” Misty instructed. “Look at the wolf whom you so feared, that you leapt into the river to avoid it.”

The wolf padded up to Misty, and laid down at her feet, nuzzling against her contentedly. Misty patted the wolf’s head, and it rolled over, hoping for belly scratches.

“It’s…..tame?” Carly guessed. “Is it your pet?”

“No,” Misty frowned. “This is my brother, Toby.”

“Your brother is a wolf?” Carly asked, perplexed.

“Not originally,” Misty clarified. “My brother was a handsome, charming boy – many mistook him for a prince. But, the wicked sorcerer – the same one who locked away the Black Rose Witch – kidnapped my brother, because he wrongly believed that because I am a witch, my brother must have magical talents, too.”

“Your brother isn’t a sorcerer?” Carly figured.

“No, he is simply a boy,” Misty replied sadly. “Or, at least he was. When the sorcerer found that my brother had no magic, he grew angry and cursed my brother to take the shape of a wolf.”

“When the sorcerer died,” Carly asked, “shouldn’t the curse have been broken?”

“Alas,” Misty sighed, “it is not so. The sorcerer used the magic of a powerful monster to cast the curse. I am not strong enough to break the curse by myself, for it will not end unless the monster is slain.”

“What is the monster’s name?” Carly wondered.

“They say the name of the beast is Thought Ruler Archfiend,” Misty revealed.

“If I become a witch,” Carly decided, “then, if we both use all our magic, do you think it will be enough to slay Thought Ruler Archfiend and save Toby?”

“You would do that for me?” Misty gaped, eyes wide.

“Gladly,” Carly smiled. “You saved my life today…..and you’re as beautiful as any princess. If you will be my master, Misty, I will happily be your apprentice, and become a great and powerful witch.”

“Then, let us both become amazing witches, that the villagers will surely tell stories about,” Misty smiled, and pulled Little Red Riding Hood into her arms.

Why does this card's name read like someone tried to make a vagina equivalent of "PINGAS"
