Hello, I am Harley Q. Laughing, Field Examination... Intern.

Status as an underpaid intern aside, I am conduction serious examinations and research on the world around me. I shall start, with Halloween.

Halloweens in Gaia have always been, well, strange, to say the least. This year has just been another weird coin in the pile.

As we all know, the overseer is the clam that lives within our tanks and provides us with the occasional gold in exchange for the well being of various aquatic species.

Well, it seems the overseer was actually a demi-god. Who had been turned into a clam because of a war.

Started by a worm.

A worm.

I mean, of all the pathetic ways to start fighting! Then again, they could've started fighting over a potato. That would've been even worse.

So, anyway, the overseer started the B.O.O. cult. In response, a demon called Sentinel started the S.I.N. cult. I watched them both, choosing not to join either one because I, have something magical called 'Reasoning Skills', which seems to be lacking in our fair land of Gaia.

It seems that all it took was a few simple words from a suggestively dressed woman, or a completely naked boy with a clam on his head, to woo the general masses into a state of Cult Control.

And then they fought. With a giant portal, and a spear. Innuendo, anyone? Think about it. If you must think to hard, then---

Eh hem. Apparently, my boss thinks I should not mention innuendos in my field examinations. That shall be... difficult.

Anyway, as I was saying, the two sides fought. Observing the individual characteristics of Gaians, it was clear to that both sides held general characteristics. Most Gaians involved in Cult Combat dressed according to color code, SIN wore red and black, or dark, disturbing dress wear, and BOO wore light blues, whites, anything that seemed bright, exciting, and good.

There was also the matter of frequent booty grabbers. I, a booty grabber lover myself, am caught. Sentinel asked for the Dark, Shameless and Corrupt, which, is probably what should be used to describe people who grab the asses of others for gold, or it could also be turned on people who leave their tanks out there with the hopes that people will clean up the fish in hopes of getting gold.

Then there's BOO, who, well... THEY STARTED IT!

So, many of the Booty grabbers I know of frequently joined BOO.

Also people who had generally happy usernames (I.E. Rainbow Muffins, Smiling Cheese, Etc) tended to join BOO, whereas darker names joined SIN (I.E. Dark_Warlord_Whatthehellevertheyputattheend)

During the actual battle, it seemed very few gaians were involved in actual combat. Most were delegated to building missions, sabotage missions, or missions that involved amping up power for the portal or spear (once again, innuendo).

All together, Gaians behaved as they always did during events.

As total super competitive players. A quality which, at the end of the event, disappeared. Until Christmas.
