Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello and welcome! I am Angel-of-morning-light and I am pleased to see you here in this wonderfully fantastic QFY guild. As a past and present quester, I know how hard it can be to collect what is needed for these quest. Undertaking such a feat requires a mass amount of dedication, so if you tend to give up easily this isn't for you.

For those that are new, this is how this works:

1. Find MC that strikes your fancy.
2. Select game item to collect.
3. Collect total amount of said game item.
4. When you have collected the (x) amount start a trade with ME, enter what you have collected and title your trade with how much it is and what you want. (I must stress that YOU have to start the trade)
5. When trade is completed, celebrate and enjoy your new MC!

Pretty simple, yes? If you still find yourself with unanswered questions feel free to post them. They will be answered promptly.

*Understand that you may not be the only one questing for your chosen MC. This is a first come first serve operation. If you have collected enough, but you are not the first to start the trade, you do not get that MC.

The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) may be a small bird, but it undertakes the world's longest migration each year when it travels almost from pole to pole.

The round trip migration is almost equal to flying all the way around the earth -- totaling approximately 21,750 miles (35,000 kilometers).

A man named Angus McDonald was a lookout man for an explosives company in Johannesburg, South Africa. One April Fool's Day, he decided to pull the ultimate prank. He put on an over sized uniform and hid his head inside. To the casual passerby, it appeared that his head had been blown off. McDonald's joke blew up in his face, however. The story (and photo) was picked up by the news wires and McDonald was fired from his job. Source: Weird Wonders and Bizarre Blunders by Brad Schreiber, 1989, Simon & Schuster, p. 43-44.

The lightning that we see actually goes from the ground to the sky in what is known as the "return stroke" at 1/3 the speed of light. We can't see the initial "stepped leader" that passes from the sky to the ground.
