Welcome to Gaia! ::

A Race.

From the lowest point in zOMG to the highest! A race referee will count down from "3...2...1!" and give both contestants a boost of full-rage fleet feet to start them off.

There will be a person waiting with another full-rage fleet feet designated points along the route. The racers must stop and say "QUIZ ME!" to identify themselves to the person waiting for them. To make sure the other person doesn't get a boost that they didn't earn, one of the contestants will have a person waiting for them one screen to the left of the designated locations (so we'll need 8 people to be quizzers)

The racers have to answer their questions before moving on. If they answer the question correctly, the person will give them a full rage fleet feet boost. If not, they continue without. Racers have 15 seconds to reply, so you better know how to type fast!

The rules are:

• No using the null chamber to map-hop allowed. Using your own speed buffs or ring-sets will only be allowed if BOTH contestants have them equipped.
  
  
• The only PDA map allowed will be the global one that shows all the maps.
  
  
• The first person that reaches the end wins.
  

Scavenger Hunt.

A list of differently dressed avatars will be given to each scavenger. The scavengers are allowed to travel to any and all maps in their search.

The scavengers must use crew chat to announce when they've found an avatar on their list and ask that person to wait while a mod comes to verify and take down the person's name so they don't get used more than once. If the person leaves before they're verified, then that scavenger's score won't be tallied until their screen-recording is viewed.

The person or people found cannot be NPCs. Yes, that means even Leon!

To keep it from dragging on too long, there will be a half-hour time-limit and whoever finds the most on the list wins.



Map-Clearing Event.

Contestants will take turns going in and clearing a designated map of all monsters! They can equip whatever rings they want, but they can't buff themselves up beforehand. The referee will start a timer and when the contestant is done, they'd have to shout "VICTORY!" and sit there recovering while the referee goes in and checks to make sure the entire area is free of monsters (except for the ones that re-spawn, those don't count). Person with the shortest clear time wins.



Hide and Seek.

There will be on designated person hidden-in-plain-sight(they'll be walking around, fighting and whatever) in each map. The seeker must look for this person by walking around and talking to different people. The person the seeker is looking for will only respond to certain conversation. For example, the person in VG might be described as an avatar wearing pink that only responds to insults. So the seeker would go around giving different insults to every person they see that's wearing pink, and if they insult the correct person then the person will give a thumbs-up and respond with a description of the next person in the next map. This continues until the seeker reaches the last map and finds the last person. The seeker that finds all their people first wins!



Attack of the Clones.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Contestants will be given 30 minutes to go around soliciting people in their friend's list, in chatterbox threads, in Barton Towns, etc to log into zOMG dressed exactly like them (the contestant).

The contestant can be dressed however they like: elaborately with many layers of clothing and accessories, newbish or simply in an "I am" disguise. Imitators need not change their natural hair/eyes/skin tone to imitate the contestants, just their equip-able items. These people will temporarily be added to your friend's list so they can show up as blue dots on the PDA map.

The contestant must then lead their look-alike army in a charge across every screen in the map of their choice, destroying or buffing everything in their path. Cohesion is key, and points are deducted for imitators that wander away or get left behind more than one screen. When contestants reach the end of their map, the one that has the most imitators and the least stragglers wins (one point for every imitator). However, the contestant who chooses a more expensive outfit for their followers to imitate gets an extra point for every 1k it goes above their competitor's.
