Kealdrea and I were talking about how she's going to give presents away on Gaia, and she said that she would be happy to give BioKraze and Archambeau a pair of fairy wings.

Also, it seems that I'll be giving out over a million gold worth of presents this year as well, since after doing some research at the market place, BioKraze and Archambeau's presents alone over a bit over half a million gold each, and I still need to figure out who out of my other friends would be happy to receive a gift on Gaia.

I find it kind of sad that I have this much gold to give away, since I rarely ever had over 10,000 gold on Gaia back when I used to frequent Gaia... u_u

I know that Kealdrea would love to add to her collection of avatar art, and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing my own avatar drawn for once, if it's not too much trouble.

I was the same way. ^-^; The most money I ever saved up on my own was 60,000 gold for my Angelic Scarf, and yet I can now sell only four or five items and get over 1,000,000 gold.

Two more days until December! I can't wait! I just hope I'll be able to find enough nice people... u_u There's probably only one nice person for every 1000 mean people on Gaia.

ZOMG!!! an Antarctica habitant... I've always dreamed of living there... How's the climate? Kealdrea has the cutest avatar I've ever seen! btw... sorry Archambeau, I gave the Spartan Set away to some loser noob the same day I posted...

I don't really live in Antarctica, I live in New Hampshire with Razara. :3 Antarctica's been my self-proclaimed internet home for years now, though, usually with the occupation "penguin serial-killer." Thinking about it, I have no idea why I chose the coldest place on Earth, considering I hate the cold. o.o

The Halloween Event. When you lose all your hit points as a Human, you have five minutes to get healed before you become a Vampire. When you lose all your hit points as a Vampire, you have five minutes to get healed before you turn Human. If you participated in the Halloween event or posted in the battlefields, you probably got turned overnight and didn't realise it. Deleting your avatar's skin data should restore you to Human condition.

To do that, go to My Avatar, then Delete Avatar. Type in your password, then wait for confirmation. When it comes up with equip avatar or recreate avatar, click the recreate avatar button. Deleting your avatar will also delete any levels of Grombification (Grunny Zombie) you have on your avatar.

An interesting glitch, though, with the Vampire skins... They don't technically have eyes, so things like Oculus Magica and Superior Form don't work properly.

Razara, you are too twisted sometimes!

What was the fastest time for the social worker, or do you remember?

...I love my new cane. D:
(The face is how I never noticed I'm a vampire... Which I decided to keep for the time being anyway.)

I would be the same as here.

But I will say, I might only be able to to give back something silly, like watermeat.
(Most adorable item ever. )

*Cringe* I feel like I am coming to a confession group and letting everyone know what a HORRIBLE SIN I HAVE DOOOONE. Guilty....

This Halloween event isn't too bad. Gaia needs more user vs user/team vs team stuff like this. ( Since my user ID ended with a 0, I was able to finish everything on the 28th~. )

And the errors around the site are amusing, I have to admit.

Yeah, the follower thing is kinda whack. I liked the way the 2007 event played out most, IMO. Hell, I even added two extra sides and made a tabletop out of it! (No players yet, sadly...)

I think the only clincher is the soulbound skin deal. Every other item isn't soulbound and can be picked up at Marketplace if you're really desperate.

(BTW Chani, what would you rather have? SIN robes -- black and red -- or BOO robes --white and aqua? I'll pick one up for you, whatever you decide.)

Oh, god, I can just imagine the threads in the SF forum. This, after the crap with the glitchy forums and the furor over the Case of Pietro?

I... don't really know if I even WANT to do this event. I'm going to end up picking the losing side, and probably want nothing to do with the actual event gameplay. And wtf is with this 'followers' shit? UGH.

I'm sorry. I think it may be the most creative Halloween Gaia event in a while, but it's also the worst in terms of my personal play style.

*Cough* I...was one of the few who made a decent SF thread about the CCOP last week! I swear~!

They did the follower stuff so the team would feel more united together against the other. Personally it's the mission stuff and the glitch-y score that leaves me now. I have no doubt the numbers are fixed in favor of one team.

2005 and 2007 were the best. 2004 too but we couldn't keep the skins and we didn't get an actual shotgun to keep. .___.

Well, that was unexpected.

SIN won the battle. By how much, the admins wisely didn't say. They did say, though, that the skin for BOO will be transformed into something else as a consolation gift.

Nevertheless, I congratulate all those vIRGins here who are also Gaians and put up a good fight in the 2009 event, no matter which side they took!

Now, of all the regularly posting vIRGins who are also regularly posting Gaians here, I know three people who took part in Demonbusters: me, Arreat and Chani. Arreat and I fought for SIN; Chani alone fought for BOO.

But what I think is most important is whether or not you had fun and enjoyed the items you obtained, not whether you won and got to keep your skin.

Here's to a happy end-year and to wishes of the next Halloween event!

Yeaaaaaah, soulbound wormy mud skin doesn't sound like much of a consolation prize. But I'd rather have that than a crappy skin whose quality I can easily beat with a tattoo, an MC and an EI.

"STOP STICKING OUT OF MY ARMOUR YOU STUPID SPIKES!"

If they ever unbind the skins, I am so totally trading you my SIN skin for your BOO skin, Chani. Besides, it was all about the worms, and you guys won because you got the worms in the end and we didn't.

(Fun fact: I still have a Sentinel Worm in my inventory that didn't get used. I'm never getting rid of it. Might even pick up an Overseer Worm to keep it company! )
