Welcome to Gaia! ::

<-- ErinsChaos - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rogue Angel Kiara-->

Hey Kiara, Looks like it's about that time again...



Yup yup. Let's see I suppose we should start with the beginning of 2009. So let me think.. what was going on back in January of last year?



sweatdrop Yeah.. But I did a little digging and snooping and back in Jan. it seems like most of our guildies were playing in Amaeli's contests and wondering where we were. sweatdrop Infernus Angelus was mostly running things as my Vice-Cap'n back then.



So in mid February we came back to see all of our great members who were trying so hard to hold this place together...



So we teamed up with all the active members and mods and got to work, slow as it may have been due to the fact that Infernus was technically Captain at that point and he was now a.w.o.l lol



Remember? I'm still trying to figure out where they found all those cool bead pictures.. I'm a photobucket whore and I couldn't find any good bead pictures for that contest.



Well I don't have your artistic talents dear.. It never even occurred to me to "make one" lol. *shuffles through her research* Ooh Noch tried to restart the booty train then too lol..



Well I don't think it's just the boys... *evil smirk* In fact this picture kind of proves it's not just the boys: *holds up the pic and starts giggling*




redface I suppose you're right.. Let's see.. March... *eyes light up* Oooh March is when we had our "Guild Conference" with all the guild staff to discuss all our ideas and see where they wanted to see this guild go!!



You too!?! LOL *shuffles through more paperwork*






Lmao.. You know I didn't mean it as backhanded compliment though lol. I just knew it was going to be hilarious and it was. Between the Spoom, Noch stirring the pot, Exxos accidentally posting in our conference in the wrong language lol and all of us being semi or fully A.D.D. it was more than hilarious it was damn near Epic!



Which just so happened to have been Me, You and Mr. JoeEuphonium



Well it almost does.. but one other thing had to be done to get this guild back on track and that was the creation of the Happy Pill cookie to help vanquish all of those evil cookies that Sinning Fluff and you had cooked up way back when. They'd fallen into the wrong hands and had to be stopped.



I'd have to agree with ya there hun. They sure are life savers!



Oh shut up...



Ah but we didn't finish all of April Fool's Day.. Lest we forgot how the Gaian admins attempted poorly to get us to believe they'd been bought out buy Omni-drink.



You'd think... but apparently it's a classic or something like that. Something else that we'd have liked to have seen become a classic but never quite made it was the "Ask Camwen" section in our Newsletter. Unfortunately she just never got enough feedback or questions from the members to keep it running.



Would you believe she made ME sign a non-disclosure agreement when I hired her? I never thought it would be an issue until people started asking questions about her.. I need to change the topic though lest I get tempted to spill and end up in jail. Did you know I started the classifieds section of the newsletter back in April too? It never did really take off though so I think I'm gonna be ax-ing that this year.



You mean the one that gave us those cute scarfs and bunny slippers? That one took forever but I managed to get my slippers biggrin



Yeah I used to be great at running double accounts for the events to get extra items for the guild, but lately my multi-tasking skills have begun to fail me.. There are days I think I'm getting to old for this lol



uH Not so fast chickie.. *smirk* We haven't talked about the sauna the guild got in April yet evil



Yup lol. You didn't think I'd miss telling the guild all about how we turned you into a sauna and me and several other guildies built a room around you and basked in your steamy warmth? hahaha.



Nah.. you love me. And you'll love me even more for moving on to the next month. In May Noch started his section in the Newsletter.. Though sadly he hasn't really kept up with it due to his class schedule. But stay tuned cause later on we'll be getting a whole bunch of useless trivia out of him.



The magic of "stumbeupon" I believe. Feel free to google that later if you don't know what it is. I'd explain but we're not even half way through our year review yet lol.



Some of the best mods we've had right there. Too bad Amaeli got that new job... <.< I mean.. good for her... sweatdrop Just too bad for us she ain't around anymore



Yes dear you are but I think it's a side affect of this place.. after a while our brains just can't think in straight lines anymore lol It has to be able to jump from one topic to the next just like our threads.



What?



She sure has made our lives a lot easier and for a busy mom like me anything that makes my life easier equates love in my book lol. Speaking of motherhood though May is also the month in which we celebrate Mother's Day and our loving Joe Euphonium gave out necklaces to all the guild mommies last year.



That he is. But many of our male guildies are lady-killers as proven by Exxos' old animation of the Golden Speedie Dancers





Are you kidding me? It's a beautiful piece of art made by one of the most active members



Yeah it had a lot of dead and un-manned contests in there. We also got our "Mod Log" up and running then, so the moderators would all have an easy place to post and discuss guild topics amongst themselves with out having to fill up each-others inboxes or post guild issues in the main forums



Too true.. of course it our case it seems the more we talk the less we get done lol "Oh look my crops are fully grown..". "Oh look new items in shops!! Time to go shopping..", "Oooh we should look for more prizes for our contests..". "MOOO!!"



Well it was that or give you more crap for going on your cruise in June and not talking me with :fake-pouting:



Ah yes.. the best thing about the summer. At least here in the states.. Yeah for 'splosions!! Of course here in the guild we were also celebrating YOUR birthday lol..



Ooh that's right. And on top of the Golden Speedie Trend our Exxos also started doing some trend setting that month getting people to turn their avatars into "gay-pride floats" or having them create all-red avi's that didn't just look like a blob of red.



As a matter of fact I did.. but of course I just used my standard "Gay super-hero" avatar for the "float" theme lol and my red avi wasn't that great



Yeah I should have known you'd get me back for throwing you a party lol. But with Camwen throwing such great parties at the Canteen now I hoping that will be the first and last "Erin's Day" thread to ever grace the guild.



Hmm Ya know I actually haven't put much thought into it yet.. but I suppose I could pick a new target this year... I mean I wouldn't want to risk accidentally melting you again.



Well in all fairness she didn't know it was really you.. But moving right along did you ever figure out who the "Random Gift Ninja" was that poofed into the guild last August?



Too true dear too true. It's a shame that we never knew who to thank though.. Oh well. *fumbles through her notes again* Oooh I had forgotten all about Camp Chaos. It really was nice of the gaian admins to name something after me!



I really should write them a note of thanks for that. *scribbles a note to herself to do just that, clearly unaware of the sarcasm*





Hey that can't get me in trouble since I'm not the one showing it off right?



*looks frantically around the room and then back at Kiara* Maybe you're right.. but it's kept me around this long right? Let's see what else I've got here in my notes.. *flips through her notes while still scoping out the room* Umm Ya know I couldn't find much in September..



Well maybe it's just everyone trying to enjoy the weather outside before it gets cold.. idk.. hard to say I guess.. But I suppose we should just jump into October then..



Yeah we cut the timing on that one pretty close but we were also trying to re-open the Monthly Avatar Contest in time for our annual Halloween avi contest.



And then it almost immediately got thrashed by the zombie attack at the end of the month. Ha that was soo much fun. And Exxos' RPG battle system that he set up for it kept the action going for days!



You know I was actually pretty surprised about that myself.. But it seemed beneficial to the Food Drive at least. Everybody lost their appetites and nobody seemed to mind passing off their food to Pat for the orphans lol



*sigh* I suppose that might be it... Which would probably explain the members that signed up for the Secret Santa event in December and might explain why Pat had such a large "Nice" list.



That would be absolutely wonderful. *snaps her fingers and magically poofs champagne into everyone's hands* Here's to a wonderful year gang!



To Heavily Laden Swallows and Happy Pill Cookies...



So drink up your champagne and throughout the next year keep drinking up.. life that is.. *drinks her champagne* Well lady's and gents I do believe that is it for our review. If you'd like a more detailed look at what happened on Gaia as a whole read on. And stay tuned for Member Acknowledgments, Quotes and Updates!


Gaian Storyline:

XMAS - Last year ended and this year started off with Santa and his counter-part Cow finally being “re-swapped” and after a few moments of ire at having to have been that way for two years and being literally put out to pasture he hugged the cow and wished all of the gaians that helped get him back to normal a Merry Christmas and went home with his wife.

Valentines Day - Gino and Liam are having a bit of trouble getting a date so Ian suggest Valentine's day cards and so begins the V-day celebration.

S.O.S. - Save our shops, several shop owners apparently were having some issues paying their taxes and they pleaded to the gaian population to donate.. shops got a overhaul in the end

Promageddon - G.R.S. (Gaia Revenue Service) decided to use all the “extra” gold from the shops taxes and build a HUGE new building.. but to give back to the community they host the “Prom to end all Proms”. Liam build (transforms Bludeau into) the “Lovetron 9000”, Gino gets himself for a date and Liam gets Sam, but ends up being nervous and starts choking when he tries to ask her. Edy who thinks Liam is actually choking on something does the heimlich and pops out one of Liam's Kidney's. The Prom is broken up into several different rooms (Heavenly, Hillbilly, Aquatic, Rock & Hell) and at the last minute Liam finds Sam and asks her to dance after her and Devin are named Hillbilly's King and Queen.. Devlin by the way ends up dancing with Lance.

Halloween - Overseer vs Sentinel. Two lesser god's from long ago who have been trapped for eons since they fought over how to transform an earthworm, both believeing their ideas were the best. Jack gives Sentinel his armies for her to use to bring the gaians to their knees. The overseer, hears that his old friend and nemisis is out for vengence and flees his tank at Barrett's and ends up taking over Gino Gambino's body. Only at the height of their epic battle Jack appears and declares Halloween, stips the lesser Gods of their powers and sends them off while telling the kids not to eat too much candy..?

X-mas - With the Overseer and Sentinel stripped of their powers and no longer immortal they have ended up living as vagrants on the streets of Gaia. That is until the Overseer decides he has to do something to get his powers back and after seeing Crescento's air-ship and seeing a News9 broadcast about Santa being missing he decides he must save Christmas. Sentinel tags along for the ride hoping to get her powers back as well. Together they are able gather enough "cheer" (items) from the gaian's and are able to save Christmas. Unfortunately their powers do not return.. They end up riding off into the sunset with Gino Gambino as their navigator; who had snuck on board hoping for a change of scenery and figured the Overseer kind of owed him that much after taking over his body and embarrasing him in front of the entire Gaiaverse.
