Hello everyone!

Over the weekend I watched this one movie that is the absolute most ho-hum movie of the year, mediocre in every way. I don't even want to mention the name to prevent curious people from checking out the movie. biggrin What is the worst movie you've watched this year?

You know that summer's definitely over when every movie in the box office couldn't get more than 3 stars. smile

Dear Lanzer,

As you can tell by my avatar, I am excited about Halloween this year, but I was wondering what this year's Halloween event would be, and if your staff is still coming up with a plot, may I suggest bringing Zhivago back this year.

Just picture it, Zhivago has spent the last two years plotting his revenge against Louie,Gino and Ian for killing Vladmir . So Zhivago decides to kidnap Moira and Sasha, Louie's and Ian/Gino's lovers, and sends them a ransum letter( not sure if I spelled that correctly) stating a trade, the lives of their lovers, for their lives. Freaking out, Gino turns to Liam for assistance, but Liam won't go anywhere near Zhivago, because of the Von Helsons sisters.

Meanwhile Louie and Ian go to Edmund to help them rescue their lovers.

Somewhere else, Zhivago is turning Gaians into vampire again, to hunt down Ian, Louie and Gino, thinking they would be too chicken to show up. He then starts kidnapping the Kuro leader, Johnny Gambino, and every other species high official or whatever. Pretty much trying to finish what Vladmir started, take over Gaia. So All of the other species get involved to rescue their leaders. They go to tell Edmund

Once Edmund hears about Johnny's kidnapping, he begins making plans for the safe return of Moira, Sasha, Johnny etc.

That is where the gaia members come in. It would be vampires vs. rest of Gaia. Members can pick what species they are, just like last year. Pretty much a continuation of 2007's event.

And of course, to get Liam involved, the Von Helson sisters kidnap Sam.

What do you think?

EDIT: OMg first post! surprised

*waves* Hi everyone! How y’all doing?

1) Will the links to fish in the other two lakes besides Bass’ken ever be fixed? Right now, the only way to get to them is the world map.
2) Did you do anything special for Alcohol day? (9/9/09)
3) Do any of you read webcomics? And if so, which ones?
4) What’s your least favorite flavor of ice cream?
5) Who worked on the comic in the latest announcement?
6) What was the most recent *facepalm* moment you had?
7) Out of curiosity, have any of you been diagnosed with any mental illnesses?
8 ) Butter or Margarine?

And now, the list of questions from the Hatsya fan thread. 8D

Why is she the tough one, and FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND SACRED, WHY, OH WHY, ISN'T SHE MORE INVOLVED IN THE PLOT?!

[I dont want waffles]

1: Will we get to see more of Hatsya in any Rigs, manga updates, or the possibility of having her own toy shop?

2: How old is Hatsya? She seems wise far beyond her years, when she's confronting her brother Saiph.

3: Has Hatsya ever been in the Venus garden before? Does she like the womanising mermen in there?

4: Does Saiph have a girlfriend? Polaris, or Andromeda, for instance?

5: How long has Hatsya had Twinkle? Who gave it to her? Was it her parents, or was it Saiph or the other stars?

6: Who are Hatsya and Saiph's parents?

7: Did Saiph raise Hatsya on his own?

8: Is Hatsya friends with Peyo, Rina, or Luca?

9: Has Cordell ever babysat Hatsya?

10: Would Hatsya be interested in Jaws, if Jaws didn't have an obsession for the Overseer?

[Yulister]

When searching in the Marketplace, I will sometimes see some shoes that I like. Only to find out they are for females only. Any chances of a unisex update soon?

If a tragic accident ever befalls Lanzer, who would take over the site? Or would it just close?

What is your biggest Pet Peeve?

Any hints to what the Halloween event is going to be about?


Is there an actual king/queen of Gaia? Or will Gambino be the closest we get?

[Darkening Flash]

Hello Lanzer, Rufus fan thread has no questions today, so here are some question from Ian Bar and Grill owner Jayce Reinhardt.



#1 Will we see some more items/cool monsters from DrinkyTengu?
#2 Are we getting any new author sponsorships on Gaia?
#3 I heard California had some wildfires, were you guys affected?
#4 Can I be an NPC? If not can I be a SDPlus doll?
#5 Can we get more steampunk items and tophats?
#6 Is the Dark Reflection going to be continued for Halloween?
#7 Lately Gaia has been lacking in communication with it's users, are their any plans to improve this?

[ya its shayla]

1. I spend an insane amount of my weekly salary on gaia cash
(i dont mind, its like paying to golf, play paintball, or go to the movies)
BUT, I have been unable to 'score' two items from the RIGS: Kitten star & Brennivin
What ARE the drop rates on such items? Will future RIGS contain more of them?

2. Why give away all the zomg items now? What will happen to all the loot & recipes now & in the future?

3. How about an item that lets us be an "I am" poses of all the fluff plushies in zOMG.
This would be soooo fun in the game.

4. Can we have more glowing things like angelic/demonic pendant, pitchfork/staff, etc?
Something for the head or ankles would be superb!

Hi Lanzer and Devs!

I hope you all had a great memorial day weekend!

Questions:

1. A few weeks back, you mentioned that the "Search" function would be updated soon. Will only the "Search" function under "Forums" be updated or ALL of the search functions be updated?

2. In "Customize Me", will we be able to save more than four outfits in the future? If so, will we have to pay Gaia Cash or have the option of paying a certain amount of gold for extra outfit slots?

3. Is there any plans to rerelease the "SDPlus #201 Lanzer Doll" out of Cash Shop items like the Dark Reflection again or is it retired SDPlus doll now? D:

4. Lanzer, on Halloween, will be wearing one of your Bee Suits? xD If not, what are you going to be for Halloween on Gaia? Are you also planning on dressing up for Halloween in real life? If you are, what are you planning to dress up as?


Thank you! : D

Heh, my first AtA xd *waves to Lanzer & co.* biggrin

-Why doesn't the Number 2 Pencil have a behind-the-ear pose? crying
-Any plans to bring back the rest of the H2K4 Labtechs or at least expand on their backstories? I just caught up with all that stuff and now I reeeally want more of it. (Having first joined in April 04...you could say I'm a little behind the times. xp )
-How many friendslist requests do you get per day?
-When you reveal something plot-wise that ties in with previous aspects, was it planned when you first introduced the aspect, or do you make things up as you go along? (The recent revelations about Labtech X, for example; did you know all along?)
-If some of my questions go unanswered, is it okay to re-ask them in a future AtA?
-This one is for Lanzer specifically: does your habit of wearing the G Pin indicate Gambino support?
-When is Gino gonna get a haircut? gonk
-Why do so many announcements come out long after the "news" has become old? (Like how the Verizon bottles in aquariums were "announced" about a month after they first started appearing...?)
-Is the engraving feature ever coming back?
-Do you like my idea for an in-world Gaian search engine (in my signature)?

[hermie_the_frog]

I don't have any questions to ask, but I'm hanging out anyways! Hi guys!

[Yen Quest]

Let me think... I didn't watch any movie this year. None of the new ones in theaters, I think. gonk

1. Are we not going to get the monthly goldshop items update this month because we're getting 2+ new NPCs shop owners (not human, and familiar face NPC) added to the shop directory?

2. This is the first time we have a Back to School event. Why do we have it? And is it going to be a reoccurring event like some events (will we have it again next year)?

3. Gaia's mostly about updating its current features this year. Is there any major plans for new big feature for the coming year?

My goodness people, trying to hog all the AtA with your 5+ questions?

[Darkening Flash]

So how is everybody tonight?

[Acid Grinder]

Lanzer, will we ever see you in a storyline comic again? If so, will any other Mods or Artists be in it?

[asapisaiah5]

OOH! My First ATA! Woot!
OK, Down To Business.
1. What Is It Like To Go To The Gaia-Con And Have All Those People Cheering For You?
2. Do You Think Gaia Should Have A "Day Of Nostalgia" Where Everything Looks Like It Did In 2003?
3. Im Wondering If Another EI Bundle Will Come Out Soon, Even With Another Opposite Version Of A EI, Like Death Mumble From zOMG Manga, Would You Look Forward To This?!
