I joined Gaia somewhere around when this whole thing was going down and joined up with the GR and eventually became an officer. I was there at a few meetings in the fabled 001919 neighborhood. Whilst I wasn't there for as much as some, I believe I can give enough and others who may have been there could fill in the rest.

The Gaian Resistance (or GR as I will take to calling it) was started back when this whole thing started. It was formed as an attack force against the alien threat. A man named Z-bandit the noob killer was the leader at the time. We believed that the Zurg were evil aliens who came to Gaia in order to wreck everything. We would not let that happen on our watch.

Formed from a ragtag group of individuals ranging from demons and super tough humans to everything in between, we were ready to bring down the pain down on the Zurg. If it came to that. Luckily it did not, but we still kept our guard up.

Somewhere down the line, Z's account got hacked. He eventually switched to his mule account named just Z-bandit.

I remember seeing at least one UFO myself, but being over 7 years ago, the details elude me. We all crowded around, asking the aliens questions. Even myself a few. It was magical.

Of the many factions that sprung up, the GR was one that gained an item. It was gained in a secret sort of page, with confusing sorts of ways to unlock the rest. Deciphering everything (or just finding a walkthrough) gave you either the Zurg antenna or the Resistance mask. This mask soon became the one item showing your true colors to the world.

Eventually, a faction of RPers (including myself) formed the Green Berets (or GB). It composed of many of us weirdos who were vampires and demons and the like, two humans in the mix. This started as a subforum and eventually moved to a guild of our own. I was an officer there too.

The GR joined up at the neutral ground known as Gaia Unlimited. It was where members of each faction could go to just be weirdos. An artist there drew some parody comics about us. The comic involved silly things like how everyone wore the gills item cuz they were the only cheek markings looking item at the time. It poked fun at our RP nonsense of turning into demons and such. Eventually it ended with Omega Will being pantsed. These were the good times.

Many many many months after this whole thing, up to and after the Zurg leaving Gaia for good, a lot of stuff happened.

Namely, due to some internal problems between certain people, the GB broke off from the GR. Eventually, the GB was disbanded after a long time of doing all sorts of crazy RP stuffs and us running out of ideas.

Second, after the Zurg where gone, what was left of the guild fell to certain people. Without the threat of doom holding us together, the GR soon crumbled upon itself. I quit for a while, only to come back to in-fighting between the crew. Z had left the guild and the power vacuum caused a lot of drama. After a whole lot of stupid drama, I myself left and never came back.

That's about my story. Others who remember things can share what they know as well. We had our own cards too, but I don't feel like digging around my hard drive at the moment.
