Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey hey. I came up with this idea for a game back in December, but never used it up until now. This game involves zOMG, so if you feel like you know your stuff and can get around pretty well, you could win big here.

I've been all over zOMG, completed every quest, killed every baddie there is to kill, beaten the Endboss, and I still enjoy the game. So I went off exploring and took in all sorts of crazy sights. Now I'm challenging you to go check out the things I saw during my journey. But I'm not gonna make it easy.

I've written a ton of riddles for you. Each one describes a place or enemy or object somewhere in zOMG that you need to find. Anyone can participate, but some areas may be inaccessible or just too hard for low-level players to reach. However, I've made sure most of them are pretty easy to get to for anybody. When you figure it out, don't say it! Hush-hush! You have to get there in zOMG.

How to answer the riddles:

1. Log onto zOMG and make your way to the place where you think the answer to the riddle is.
2. Take a screenshot of your avatar on in the same screen as the riddle answer. Highlight your own avatar so the little box comes up and I can see it's you. Note: Just to make things interesting, your avatar must NOT be dazed in the screenshot or the answer will not be accepted even if it's the right place. I like making things hard.
Also, each answer is in a specific screen. You can't just be in the right region-- you have to be in the same screen as the answer. For example, if the answer was Leon, you would have to be in the same screen as Leon, not just in Village Greens.
3. Submit the screenshot to me by linking it in a PM, along with the number and riddle.
4. If it's right, I'll retire the riddle, link your screenshot with your name, and send you a fabulous prize! (And I have a lot of truly fabulous prizes, trust me.)

This. Have fun, guys!

I think having someone drag me around zOMG would be pointless because they'd probably send in the riddle answers before I could. XD"
