It's been an interesting week. In the real world we only had Halloween & Dia de los Muertos. In Gaia we had crop circles, organized cow formations, trick-or-treating, rival energy drink launches, bovine torment, Ron Bruise and the whole "War Skirmish of the Worlds" thing between aliens & humans in the forums.
Man, getting the items(Jack, Alien & Human) took quite a bit of work, huh? Most of us were probed and zapped within an inch of our lives! The perils of being a collector, I suppose.
The real victims are the cows, of course. Lured into the forums by cries of "cow" or "moo", attracted to the sweet alfalfa scent of our bump postings...only to be mercilessly beset by both sides. Unlike us, these poor creatures didn't even get an item to show for it.
I wish I could say that I rose above such petty, greedy grasping and did right by the cows. I wish I could say that I defended them, championed their rights, or at least refused to participte. Mais non, I am not innocent in this. emo I pestered those poor dumb, brute beasts relentlessly (both as an alien and a human). I must admit I was gripped by a fervid desire for virtual items. I had a fever, I tell you, and the only cure was more cowbell!
