Hey episode 3 players! Getting FSODed by other peeps? Read here!

[Ivan]

If you grow tired of vega players FSODing you or your friends, tell everyone you know to switch to the japanese language setting, you can't get FSODed.

Now you probobly wounder how you will still be able to speak in english? No problem! Simply press the key 1 space the left of the "1" key. (You should only have to do this once if at all) This key also changes the various types the japanese language allows you to speak in! Such as a wierd english font, the normal font, and 2 japanese fonts.

Note this should work for the PAL version.

To switch, simply go to "Options" from the main menu, and select language, an option to switch to japanese should work. And you can switch back any time you want!

Now it's a bit difficult if you don't know very much japanese (if at all) but you get used to it, and this way you wont miss out on tournaments either becaue you got FSODed.

There is a specific FSODer to watch out for. <D3m0n-> if I'm correct, or something along the lines of that. Lee-Yoshi and I were entered for a tournament and <D3m0n-> entered the lobby and FSODed the entire lobby, everyone who was in the english setting (including lee-yoshi) came back a said they were FSODed, of course I didn't get FSODed because I was in my japanese language setting. He FSODs somehow through word select, which causes him to say ??? > (Player who would get FSODed) And he can usually be found in Vega 2-c1. Though last night he was in Vega 1-c2.

Please be careful and take these precausions!

Another good method of avoiding FSODs is to register for your tournament and then just go to an Ep1&2 lobby. The glitchy word select that is used to FSOD you cannot be used there, so you are safe from them

Lewis i already pointed that out, lol.

Ah that would explain why I was in an EpI&II lobby the other day and someone said "Starman > ???" - Guess the lamer must of wondered why I didn't FSoD.

Has no one thought of reporting this <D3m0n-> via the abuse form?

The glitch that person was trying to use (in Polaris 1 usually) is one that only effects Ep1&2 users. It has no effect on the Ep3 people.

There is more than one person called Demon. The original is actually a good guy who is very good at the gamem but the one who is fsoding people is someone pretending to be him. Much like the fake Silver-X who impersonates the well known player who became one of the first legit 200s on Ep1&2 and a very high rank on Ep3.

One of us might be next to be impersonated <_< >_>

In reply to ivans post, well, I am a huge enemy of the FSODer <-DeM0n-> And if he searches for you to FSOD you, its probably because he has seen us hanging out alot annd probably wants to piss you off. I am an enemy to alot of FSODers on PSO. Namely because I couldnt care less about their ability to freeze my screen, and now that I usually play on JP setting, there really isnt anything to worry about at all. Another huge FSODer to watch out for is KROE. She doesnt say anything about her FSODing the lobby, but the does a whole bunch of times, and is usually playing with demon as well. Theyre both pretty frequent FSODers. I dont know why sega is doing nothing to get rid of these kinds of people.
