Solve a murder mystery aboard the Final Line!

Y'know, being a GRS accountant is a lot like being a detective: I run down leads in ledgers, I collar suspects in tax lawsuits, and like any good gumshoe I even get out there and pound the pavement. Just the other day, I performed an on-site audit on the sloppy finances of the Durem Home for Disadvantaged Adorable Kittens-- and you better believe I nailed 'em to the wall! Well, not literally. Pardon my unfortunate wording.

But part of me longs to be a classic sleuth, wearing a neat hat and investigating murders and train robberies and whatnot. Ah, that reminds me of that classic tale, Final Line, when the cunning Inspector Bosco boarded the Ignatius Express to thwart the murderous thieves intent on stealing the Sovereign Garnet...

Imagine being Bosco's partner as his brilliant mind unraveled the mystery... I'm sure you'd be handsomely rewarded for your help. As you've probably guessed, you'd likely get a nice Cash Shop treat, a rare item or even one of these never-before-seen wonders:

Eeeee~! It's the 15th, and you know what that means! heart

March's Collectible items celebrate a complete mastery of nature, both creative and destructive, and the skills and fashions that facilitate it:

    Rugged Woodsman walks softly and carries a big stick-- or ax, as the case may be. A mild-mannered man of the forest, he must nevertheless defend himself against the hungry beasts lurking among the trees. His leather boots and armor are crafted from the skins of direboars, his cloak from devilwolves, and his chiseled physique from years of back-breaking lumberjackery.

    Shy Gardener can't wait for spring to burst into bloom! Strolling down the garden rows, she carefully tends to young flowers ready to awaken, selecting early-bloomers to adorn her chestnut locks. Soon she will have enough blossoms to fill her basket and decorate the tables of everyone in the village.

March's Collectible Letters are available right now from the Cash Shop, but they won't be here forever! Get them while you can! heart

Hey, EI fans! It's been a long week around here, but we've got some amazing news! The finale of Paramour's Break has arrived, as well as an update from Bunnihilation, which we haven't seen in a little while! Seeing things you haven't laid eyes on in a little while can be a strange feeling, like when the plumber came to my apartment last week and pulled my retainer out of the shower drain. I'd been looking everywhere for that thing! Oh yeah, items!

    Bunnihilation
     - Some green bunny-like creature sporting a red tie once told me that the bunnies' favorite color is green, so it must be true. That means that St. Patrick's Day must be their favorite holiday!

    Paramour's Break
     - As smoke dissipated behind Slater, more figures emerged from every direction. Slater's special forces had come to back him. Immediately, they initiated combat with the two as Slater calmly watched on.

    Alongside each other, the duo skillfully did away with the goons. Slater's eyes widened with shock and anger as he watched his men dropped one by one. As fear caught up with him, he turned to run in the midst of battle. Knox quickly took notice and put a bullet in his leg, hindering his escape. Slowly, they approached the fallen man. "You may end my life, but you will never live a life of normalcy! Never!," he screamed. Vera grimaced and then closed her eyes, striking down the coup de grâce... Exhausted, they walked away.

    After glancing back in reminiscence, two mounted Knox's motorbike. Vera hugged Knox from behind and nestled her head against his back, their hair blowing in the wind as they drove away from the wreckage.

    When they got into the city, they went above a building top and overlooked the night around them. "This is all ours, Vera," Knox whispered. Vera smiled and embraced her lover. Finally, they could put away their weapons and live their life in peace...


Everything looks so good! Almost makes me forget that my bathroom at home doesn't work and that I'll need to take sponge baths in department store bathrooms for the foreseeable future. Oh, don't forget to vote in the weekly EI poll, and I'll see you next week!

A special treat for those who white-listed ads on Gaia! <3

Hey Gaians!

In early January, we asked all of you if you would consider white-listing ads on Gaia. As we said, watching ads on Gaia helps us earn revenue that helps keep Gaia up and running!

We wanted to thank all of you who listened to our request to white-list ads on Gaia, and who have started viewing ads as a result. What a great community - we're so lucky to have members who we can just ask to help out, and you do!

As a very special THANK YOU for doing this for us, we're happy to announce that starting today, those of you who have white-listed ads on Gaia will be eligible to see special Gaia-created ads that... grant items!

These special ads will randomly appear throughout the month, for a limited number of times each after activation, and each unique ad will grant a unique item! Of course, you never know when the ads will appear, or how many will appear each month, so keep your eyes peeled! And no worries - if you miss a particular grant the first time it appears, you'll have a few chances to see it again before it goes away!

Thanks again for doing this for us - we sure appreciate it! Happy special item-granting ad hunting everybody!

-Sisky

P.S. - If you want to white-list ads on Gaia, but aren't sure how to do that, instructions for doing so are in the original request thread here: How To White-List Ads on Gaia

Also, if you want to report ads, you can check out this Report Bad Ads thread here! or can email the information about the bad ad to reportads@gaiaonline.com so the team that handles removing bad advertisements knows what is going on!

Hey gang! It's only Tuesday but there's something amazing happening! A new REI has been discovered that's first-class in more ways than one-- each evolution is a letter from a friend sending a care package from a far-off place! You know, speaking of the post office, I can't go by there anymore. Someone mailed me a cake during the holidays that got all soggy and gross and began leaking out of its box. They won't deliver to my apartment anymore! Now I have to pretend I live next door! Oh yeah, the new REI!

Easter 2013: A Bunny's Lament

Days ago, Gaian president Diedrich (ugh, still?) declared that March would officially be known as Cutie-Pie Month, a celebration of all things cute and fluffy. But like almost all holiday celebrations in the history of Gaia, something has gone terribly wrong: disgraced robotic mascot Easter Bunny has announced his intent to crush all that is cute and destroy the very concept of cuteness itself!

Since Gaia has gradually deteriorated into a lawless land ruled by the whims of various insane bunnies, citizens must now choose which petty warlord to follow: Diedrich, on the side of cuteness and cheer, or the Easter Bunny, who rules the anti-cute team. Both will offer their own rewards, so choose wisely!

To choose your team and start waging a war of cuteness, visit Gaia's Easter event headquarters:

We're staying at a traditional hot spring resort, though, so I got to have a hot soak that night. I've sent you a souvenir towel and a robe?? I think?? Maybe you shouldn't bathe with it, though, it was pretty expensive!! Byeeee!"

Let me apologize for that awful stamp joke. I was in traffic this morning and everything on the radio was awful-- in fact, a commercial came on that had lots of police siren sounds and I screamed and slapped my radio to turn it off, then I got lost in thought and came up with the stamp joke. It sounded good at the time! Oh, remember to go vote in the weekly EI poll, too! Anyway, yeah, I'll burn myself some CDs so this never happens again. Bye!

Friends, I think I need new glasses. See, I got invited out by a couple coworkers to do a little skeet shooting, which was an entirely new experience for me! I'd never pictured myself a marksman, but there I was, out there on the range blasting targets like nobody's business. I was actually doing really well-- orange clay discs shattering into a thousand pieces left and right! A slightly blurrier disc came into view, so I took aim and fired, but instead of shattering it just floated downward behind some trees. We ran over there and discovered that it was actually a hang glider. Thank goodness he wasn't hurt, but the haywagon he landed in took damage.

At least I'll be able to pay for the damage to the haywagon once I'm able to use this month's Advance Chance!

    User ImageWhat will the next CI be? Nobody knows, but you’ll get the first crack at it with the April Advance Chance. On the day of the next CI release, you’ll be able to open your bundle and start reaping the rewards of your CIs hours before they’re released to the general public, so you can start listing items on the Marketplace when hardly anyone has their hands on them yet.

Grab one or more now and be a real big wheel on the Marketplace before the CI officially launches!

EI fans, hello! Parcel Post has a new development this week, and there's a whole new REI in the form of Cafe Miam! It's great stuff, I think it'll generate lots of "viral" "buzz" around Gaia! Truly, we're "engaging" in "new media paradigms" and "building the EI report brand" over here. Our "social reach" is through the roof and I can't find my "car keys" because I'm in a "daze" after a 4-hour "webinar" filled with "social media buzzwords" and I can't remember my "middle name" and, oh yeah, the items!

    Cafe Miam
     - Cariana has been flitting from one job to the next, never able to hold one down for more than a few days. As hard as she tries she hasn't been able to find her true calling in life.

    One day she receives a letter and out falls an elaborately decorated key. "Dear Ms. Cariana", it begins, "We have been impressed with your work experience and would love to offer you the job of barista at Cafe Miam starting tomorrow. Please arrive promptly in the morning and let yourself in with the enclosed key. Our manager will provide you with training and you'll be making high-quality coffee in no time!"

    Cariana doesn't remember applying for a job at Cafe Miam much less the cafe itself. This whole thing seems strange but she's always wanted to make coffee and she does need a job.
