Welcome to Gaia! ::

For me, I don't think it was so much the prizes that caught my interest as it was just seeing something new on a daily basis. The forums do run a bit slow and it was just kinda' refreshing to see something new everyday sweatdrop
I mean, I know that's not all that helpful or anything, but it's kinda' like the "Stop and say hello" thread. You can pop in and out without really feeling obligated to read much other than the first post to feel involved.
So I dunno... Maybe a "How was your day" thread or a "Current Events" forum might help??
I don't feel this event was so much competitive as it was just fun
I dunno, I'm pretty bad at suggestions, I guess sweatdrop

if i had more time, i'd actually take some time to think of something. unfortunately, i'm kinda on the run, so.....

I'd like food to be catered to an event-- but on a forum it aint' happening.

Still, I think candy and veggie snacks (for our Diabetic friends smile ) would be superb!

Bump... Now I really want an apple. Or an orange. Or a Hawaiian pizza, okay, now I'm just getting hungry.

I had you in mind smile

Thanks for leaving this open a little longer, I ended not being online yesterday. I like the contest, with or without pizes, but I think my favourite events are ones that we work to gether in pair or small teams. It gives us more of a chance to get to talk to other people on a more intimate level. I for one am not as good in large groups and also am not great at typing, but love to chat with many people in the group, but in large group settings I'm more likely to just read. Trying to talk in groups, my thoughts just get jumbled (like now).

I love the themes, changing our avitars like the fruit day or the tektek day were lots of fun and I would love to do that even without prizes juzt to show guild pride (like the red hats girls). Also some events like the twin avitars were great and I loved Earth week (I hope we'll do that again soon). I know though some of those events can be really taxing for the mods. I also really like group gaia events like the rally meetups we tried and so forth. I would love to make that more formal (though I suppose to do that, I should get off my lazy butt and host some myself).

Additionally I'd love more things like a secret santa, though members of the guild are already pretty good with the random acts of generousity.

I know that this is going to sound like me being humble- but in all honesty I didn't so anything (literally this time, lol!). This was 100% Sablara's hard work. But given the current things going on for her and me getting credit for not helping out- I did finally chip in and possess Main Man to get some prizes handed out! When the voting and info has posted on more there should be a few more prizes to dish out-- yay.
