Well I am finally back, a little late, but better late than never right? 3nodding
Once again is October, and once again is my gaiaversary, now it has been 3 years since I joined this amazing website! xd I wonder how long I will last here before I get 100% bored....
So is Halloween month again, and that means Halloween event, incredible stuff, lots of activity (and lag xp ), etc.
Gaia banner for the month:
Halloween event coming soon (as usual):
Last time you may have remembered that the explosion that resulted in the return of Johnny K. Gambino caught the attention of some unidentified flying objects in outerspace, now the mysterious aliens had set a course for the world of Gaia!
Are they friendly? Are they a threat? What do they want with us?
These and many other questions were expected to be answered as the month was passing by. Also last month Gaia welcomed a new NPC named Ron Bruise who couldn't stop talking about how awesome Gaia was and how much he loved it. I think this guy is mad. xp Once again we all wondered what was his purpose, but the answers would come pretty soon as well. xd
With the month passing by things got more exciting and weird, starting with the usual markings aliens leave in crop fields to signal they are coming:
And presenting a new map, Barton south also with a crop signal:
Finally another new map, Barton trench, but this map didn't served any purpose this month:
After the signals the first alien sighting took place in a topic made by one of the aliens who was in it's own little spaceship:
There were 12 aliens in their spaceships, all looked alike. But it was alien 07 who made the first appearance on Gaia in this topic:

The 19 theory was basically the believe of many gaians that something incredible would happen that day, and even though alien 07 says in his post it means nothing, I have to disagree. 3nodding But more about that a bit later.
So judging by their posts we figured that the aliens had some contact with Ron Bruise, but what are their plans? ninja
SO MANY DAMN QUESTIONS! gonk
Alien 07 made many references toward Ron Bruise but we never actually saw him react to it, be must have been filming his next movie or something. xp
For a while it seemed like their intentions were of invasion, one day we all tried to enter Gaia Towns for our usual business, when suddenly....
Aliens took over towns! eek
As soon as we were able to get back in (which by the way was during the 19th of the month) people started to talk about alien sightings all over gaia towns including the mothership, DUN DUN DUN! eek
Mothership:
During the next several days starting the 19th, we had the chance to interact with the alien NPCs, even though most of the time it was laggy because people wouldn't shut up. xp Here are some of my own experiences with them and the mothership:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Yanui/UFOscomeinpeace.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Yanui/Ufozapper.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Yanui/Ufo.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Yanui/Mothershipandufo2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Yanui/Mothership5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Yanui/Mothership4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Yanui/Mothershipandufo.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Yanui/Mothership3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Yanui/Mothership2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Yanui/Mothership.jpg
So a lot happened naturally, the flash of colors coming from the mothership was her scanning us, and the other 12 aliens scanned people with their yellow ones (alien 08 scanned me by the way when I was alone blaugh )
Since a lot ocurred from the conversations I will not talk about all of it, let's go with what is really important:
-We discovered the aliens come from planet Zurg.
-The aliens specifically loved triangles, so people all over towns gathered in the center of the zipcodes and formed triangles believing this would attract them. I myself took part in some of them and it appeared to have worked, but I don't think it was crucial. xp
-Alien 09 was perhaps the most friendly of all the aliens, some people claimed they added him to their friendlist (I tried but got no response xp ) and he couldn't stop talking about how much unity the triangles brought. heart Apparently he had a relationship with a female gaian, but I won't get into that. xp
-Some of the aliens were the opposite of 09, mean and cruel with the gaians, and it seemed like the aliens would split into two sides: the gaian lovers and the gaian haters. surprised
-From all the alien interaction many gaians fromed organizations to investigate them, the most popular was the GIB (Gaians in Black), who by the way attracted 07's attention, who also became a member:
xd
During these days as we approached Halloween something else occured on the maps that was very curious. The maps were covered with cows and bulls (got milk?) the son of a rancher named Bill apparently left the gate open and the cows escaped to the maps. But even more strange than that was this:
The cows along with a bull formed some sort of tri-force. What could this mean question gonk
Halloween approached even more and soon the confusion kept rising as the administrators of Gaia were apparently adbucted and alien 09 went missing! eek This appeared in their avatar windows:
Mothership asked for us to help her find her missing son, but no such luck ever came, I bet the gaia hating aliens did this! scream
On October 30, Cindy Donovinh made an interview with the remaining aliens and the long gone Ron Bruise:

Seems like finally some questions found their answers, apparently the visitors intentions (or at least some of them xp ) with us were good all the time. biggrin Sadly this was the last we saw of Ron Bruise.
twisted HAPPY HALLOWEEN! twisted
We finally made it! xd
The event kicked off with an extended storyline update:

(Screw Liam and his girl problems. xp )
Looks like Gambino and Mother mean business. 3nodding By clicking the event banner we were sent to their energy drink shops:
We could buy by just 50g one of two energy drinks who were advertised all over Gaia this month, Red Bino and Zurg:
( twisted GO ZURG! twisted )
Now let's see how the event this year worked. blaugh
Basically we could be normal gaians or become aliens by drinking the Zurg energy drink (superior intelligence!), aliens could turn back into humans by drink the Red Bino energy drink. (Oh the humanity!)
The forum for the event opened were we could have a good time talking about the event. But soon Gambino's mansion (who was rebuilt yet again! burning_eyes ) was invaded by NPC aliens and NPC cows:
Now depending of what you were in the event you could do the following things with them and the humans:
ALIENS
Aliens could humans and cows, here is how humans and cows looked after being probed:
Below the pic it said ''Probed by Flux'' for example if I did the probe.
For every 30 humans and cows probed you received the Alien 4d Goggles and the Alien probe respectively.
HUMANS
Humans could aliens and the cows, here is how the aliens and cows looked after being zapped and tipped respectively:
Below the pic it said ''Zapped by Flux'' and ''Tipped by Flux'' for example if I did it.
For every 30 zaps and tips we got the Tin Foil Hat and the Cow Bell respectively.
Basically this was all for the event forum, it was less laggy and much nicer than the last year's event. gonk
Halloween on Gaia was back once again as usual, ToT at the stores was as always, you visited a store and got a candy. This were this year's costumes:
After getting 10 candies we had to find Jack randomly at the maps to get the bag with a Jack 2006 item in it, 8 in total.
Halloween in Gaia Towns was also the same, we went from house to house getting candies if we were lucky, and after getting 100 we visited Jack at the center of the zipcodes and received the bag.
As for this month's additional features:
-New weekly comics:
-October 2006 donation items (by the way from now on they will be called monthly collectibles, don't ask why xp ) came with the choice between the Pixie and the Shadow Spirit.
-New Gaia game: Jigsaw, we can complete gaia puzzles in 4 difficulties for gold prizes and if we are lucky bonus items! biggrin
-Halloween item update for the stores.
Phew, finally the end of this entry, never been this glad to finish. xd
Until next month then, now I will get a much needed typing rest. cool
