This was the third event on Gaia you were to collect candies from the shop owners. Your candy popped up on a bar that looked like this. -> After you collected a certain amount of candy you could get a visit from Jack and he would give you a grab bag containing a Halloween item.
This is was Jack looked like when he gave you a grab bag. There was an entire forum just for this event, which you can view here.
This was what the Grab Bag, which you received, looked like.Christmas 2k3

Also we got to see some of our favorite NPCs such as Ian, Sasha, and Ruby in avatar form. This event was also the first event that we finally got to see inside Gambino''s mansion. Here is link to the forums. As soon as Gambino arrived he started giving out gifts. This was the first event where the NPCs had speech bubbles in the Gaia header. A few days after the event, everyone who attended got a "Thanks for attending"-photo, seen here. Some of the items passed out at this event were The Noise Maka, Paper Party Hat, Gaia T-shirt, and G-pin. Here is the header of his mansion.

Here is a screen shot of the Easter Bunny giving you a hint on where the basket he hid is.
This is one of the eggs you collected.You can view the event here.
That is what the basket looked like when it was on the map.
The Gaian Olympics
This was the first Gaian Olympics, which was hosted by Gambino. The people racing were Moria, Ian, Sasha, Gino, Leon, and Edmund. The racers were to run from Isle de Gambino, to Durem, and back. There was a great plot in this event considering everything else was very, very uneventful. There was cheating and a lot of other twists that I can''t really remember. Well, at the end Moria was in first, second Sasha, third Ian, fourth Leon, and last Gino... Oh, and Edmund was disqualified. Also at this event two shirts were passed out:
Black Olympic Tshirt
White Olympic TshirtHere is the banner to the event. Here is the header to the event. The maps were changed for the racers:
Isle De Gambino
Durem
Barton Town
This was the Olympics route.
Halloween Bash 2k4
This was a very exciting event. Hmm... where should I start... Okay, this event was also held by, our now famous, Johnny K. Gambino, at his mansion.
Here is the header to this event. Also here is the banner to this event. Here is the link into the mansion. In this event, we found out that there was a secret lab under Gambino''s Mansion, which was build by a company called G-CORP, and they were doing some weird experiments. All through the event an alarm would keep going off, and he would say nothing was wrong. Then one of the workers in the Secret Underground Test Facility, who had recently died, came back to life as a zombie and started to infect all of the other lab workers, except for two. Gambino sealed the basement, but the zombies got through and started infecting the other Gaians. Somehow, Gambino and Gino escaped from becoming zombies. In this event you were aloud to shoot zombies with shotguns, and zombies were aloud to bite humans.
But if you were turned into a zombie, you could turn back into a human by drinking the contents of these Vials of Unknown Liquid.There were certain items you could get for biting humans, or shooting zombies. As zombies, for biting humans you could get these two items:
Zombie G CORP Tshirt
Zombie G CORP LabcoatIf you were a human, and you shot a certain amount of zombies, you got these items:
Human G CORP Tshirt
Human G CORP LabcoatYou can view the forum for this event here. G-CORP also put out a security advisory system seen here. You also had personal statistics seen here.
This was your icon if you were still human.
And this was you icon if you were a zombie.
This is the forum icon.
And this were the G-CORP icon.During the mayhem of the moment, a nuke blew up the building, and everyone inside, killing the Zombies. Johnny K Gambino was thrown from the mansion, but his son Gino was not so lucky. Gino was nowhere to be found... He was missing.
This is what the nuke looked like.Soon after the explosion, Gaia 9 Action News was reporting for the first time, with Cindy Donovinh as the reporter. This is what Cindy''s report looked like. This is what the mansion icon was after the explosion. This is what the map looked like after the explosion. The maps changed just for Halloween.
Isle de Gambino
Durem
Barton Town.
Okay, also what happened at this event, was jack returned (pictured above). The NPC''s dressed up, and you could go Trick or Treating, and you would get a candy every 15 minutes.
Once you got 3 candies you had to find Jack on the map and he looked like this.
This is what the Grab Bags, that he gave this year, looked like this.Here is a screen shot of jack on the map. Here is a screen shot of what Jack said if you didn''t have the needed amount of candy. You could only get candy from the NPCs thought at night or at dusk but not during the day because Jack disappeared and so did all of the Halloween spirit. This was a very exciting event I think this was the most interesting so far in the history of Gaia.
Christmas 2k4
This was the second Christmas event. In this event Gambino would enter, in his journal, about his quest to find Gino. Since after the Halloween event, Gino went missing in the explosion. Finally, at the end of the journal, Gambino found Gino. But with one problem: Gino had no memory of who his father was. You can view his journal here.
This is what Gambino looked like when he found Gino.Here is Cindy''s report for the event. Here is the banner to the event. Here is the header.
In this event you could go caroling at the shops.
To carol you had to click this.When you had enouph carols you got a box like these:
You got a different colored box, for each town you caroled at. Also, at this event everyone was pleased that a new feature was released. Kissing! All of the users were aloud to kiss someone every couple of minutes.The left side of the picture, at the top of this section, is what it looked like when you got kissed. And the right side of the picture, shows what it looked like when you were aloud to kiss someone.
This went on from Christmas till New Years. Here was the backdrop when you were kissed. This told you that you were able to kiss someone.

2nd Gaian Anniversay Ball
2nd Gaian Anniversay Ball
This was also a very exciting event. We were introduced to the Von Helson Sisters. We were also introduced to Edmund and Cindy Donovinh in avatar form. And there even was a new NPC introduced! The shopkeeper Liam, from the newly added town: Aekea. We were all invited to their mansion. You can view the event here.
This is the Von Helson icon.Also in this event everyone got a Balloon, a Party Hat and both sides of a V-Pin. Some people got a G-Pin from Gambino.
Soon Gambino started to cause havoc, and started to tell people to chant his name, and wear the G-pins. But then the Von Helson Sisters kidnapped Gino. (As seenhere). You can see the Thread, where the sisters and Gambino were fighting about Gino and other issues here. You can see the header of the event here. Here is the banner to the event.

Gambino VS Von Helsons
During the month of March, all of the destruction of Gambino''s previous mansion was gone, and Gambino popped up on the screen looking like this, asking for donations.This is what he looked like when you click on him.
Also a bar popped up at the map, and at the other end of the bar was a mansion seen here. Soon the bar was filled, and a second half of the bar popped up with a question mark at the end, seen here. About every 12 hours there was an update on the large building. Soon it was finished. At the top it looked like this, and at the bottom it looked like this. Soon after the Tower of Gambino was finished, Gambino locked himself in his mansion and a Channel 9 Action News helicopter popped up. (Which you can view here)
Also soon after the tower was finished, the Von Helson Sisters popped up in Durem, looking like this, and passing out anti-Gambino signs that looked like this:
Anti Gambino Picket Sign.
Not long after the signs were being passed out, Gambino popped up, at the top of his Tower, looking like this.When you clicked on him he looked like this.
Gambino was passing out anti-Von Helson signs that looked like this:
Anti Von Helson Picket SignEaster Egg Hunt 2k5
This event was not as exciting as the last couple of events. Although the NPCs did not fight as much or anything like that, but we were introduced to the Easter Bunny. Just like the year before, you collected eggs that appeared next to posts, that looked like this.
Once you collected 8 eggs which showed up on a bar in your profile that looked like this. ->When the egg was beside a post it looked like this. This is what it looked like when you got an egg. Then you went to the Easter Bunny, and he hid a basket on one of the maps of Gaia, which you can see here.
The basket you got looked like this.When you found the Easter basket the Easter Bunny said this. Here are the items you got when you opened the basket. To see what the Easter Bunny looked click here
April Fools 2k5
This was a VERY shocking event! I myself could not believe what happened! Gambino went crazy, and Gino got his memory back, then Gambino got shot and fell off of his tower, and into the ocean. Here is a screenshot of Gambino falling. At the same time, Gambino''s tower fell onto the Von Helson Sisters Mansion, supposedly crushing them. Oh, and Gino! Nobody knows what has happened to him. Everyone thinks the worse, but no one knows. To view what happened, click the links below in order.

Soon after this happened Cindy Donovinh said this. (If you can''t read it just ask me and I''ll read it to you.)
After the comic showed up some of the maps were filled with smoke.
Isle de Gambino - Smoke
Durem - Smoke
Not long after the tower fell, the smoke cleared, and Gambino''s old Mansion was sitting where it used to be long ago, and where the Von Helson Mansion used to be, a new Gambino Masion lays on top of it. Oh, and the Gambino family, and the Von Helson sister are all presumed dead.
This is what the maps looked like a week after the disaster, when the smoke cleared.
Isle de Gambino - Rubble
Durem - Rubble
