(However, people will want anyone in some hours. There are few games
after the flat plan hours. You can try and ask if they have been in
the team for over 10 minutes.)

- When enter a game. Say hello and ask if you can join. In case of
Japanese, you SHOULD USE WORD SELECT. It would be:

1.-Good morning, hello or good evening. [FIXED:GREETING]
(Depend on hours)

2.-I live in (Country, zone) [CREATE A CONVERSATION:TOPIC:COUNTRY]

3. Ask them if you can join.
-Shall I join you? [FIXED:IN THE LOBBY]
(Normal situation)

-Can I join in? I am a beginner [FIXED:BEFORE THE ADVANTURE/NEXT PLAN]
(If you don't play long enough. It would be nice to tell people what's
your experience level. So they would take care of you and don't get
mad if you did some mistakes. For people that play for S rank weapons,
I think this is a better word select until they get their third s-rank)


4. If they answer it with something like, "NO PROBLEM!" (W.S.) or
"iidesu" (Japanese). Then say, "Thank you" [FIXED:ANSWER]

5. If people don't want you to stay in their team, please be polite.
Say "Good Luck!" before you quit the team. It seldom happen even if I
tell people that I am beginners.

- Welcome somebody join, even if he is not the class you want. Try to
finish the stages with him. Say, "Good to see you" [FIXED:GREETING].
Again, 2 forces is OK.

- Sometimes, you may need to communicate with people. For example, In C6
I would have a hard time trying to convince people that I would take
another way to obtain the mechgun and partisan and exchange mag, who
take hit materials, first buster...etc

- When the game start, you can select either:
1. "Good to see you" [FIXED:GREETING]
2. "Take it easy" [FIXED:GREETING] - non-TA games
3. "Hang On!" [FIXED:GREETING]

- In game, share the items with the teammates
1. I need mates/fluids
2. I don't have fluids
[CREATE A CONVERSATION:TOPIC:ITEMS]

- Another method is using the expression of "monomate-dimate-doll"
0-0 = no mates
3-1 = 3 monomates 1 dimate
2-2-2 = 2 monomates 2 dimates 2 dolls

- When you see someone is out of mates of dolls, tell:
1. I will share mates/fluids/dolls
2. I will put down mates/fluids/dolls
[CREATE A CONVERSATION:TOPIC:ITEMS]

- Don't complain when anyone die.

- Try to understand when someone do something weird. Sometimes it's
communicate problems. Specially C6, while a HUcast is the only people
that turn around with garanz. A ranger can also shoot enemies with
sniper if he is stay far away. Also, limit TA players may attack
garanz with buster, their force cast magic and suicide like no
tomorrow. Things that some people could not understand.

- When the stages completed, say "Nice playing with you"
[FIXED:GREETING]

- Never complain about the time. You can replay it at any time.

5.4 Weapons, number of enemies and ID
=====================================
Some people believe that certain ID has fewer enemies. I still need more
information on this topic. Some experts told me that it's random and I
believe it too.

I believe in:
- luck
- fast internet connection (more important if it's team leader)

The set of enemies is determined when you download the challenge stages.
If you think there are too many enemies. You can:

1. Ask the opinion of the teammate. If they agree, one teammate would
drop the dolls and suicide.

2. Make team and download the mission again
(Even if it's of the same ID and join team with the same order. The
set of enemies and weapons are different)

The rumor is:
- C1 - Greenile
- C2 - Skyly (probably C3 & C4)
- C6 - Redria (Probably the worst ID, check weapon list)
- C7, C8 - Bluefull
- C9 - Whitill

If the number of enemies is random, weapons would be much more important.
You can determine what is the weapon that you want in each stages.
