Birthdays:-

A quick look at the calendar shows no b-days for any member this month, but we know better. Would it be a wild guess if we say Binary?

Alerts:-

Railen is not lazy. It is a proven scientific fact that leaves no room for argument. That is why he declared all current ongoing games to end on the 31st of this Month, so be sure you have something to turn in!

November shall witness double xp and huge discounts for Carthage permits. If you feel like asking why not October, you should really consider getting a life.

Finally, most winners in the Mock Elections have been declared while rewards are/are not being made as we… wait.

Code Lyoko Chatter:-

Of all the topics, only “CL Fan fiction” and “Ulrich lovers” were active this month. Kitty, Never Minder, Stella, Shadows and Legend discussed the many aspects of writing a fiction, OC’s and what makes a good author in “CL Fan Fiction”. Lyoko dreamer made a topic about Ulrich lovers for people to discuss how much they “want” Ulrich and how is Ulrich their “favorite”.

“CODE LYOKO IS NOT DEAD” had four new posts with nothing interesting except:

THE CL.COM FORUMS ARE DOWN!

THIS REQUIRES MY INTERVENTION.

TOTALLY. XL's sister is in MORTAL DANGER!

Quick, we must rush it to the Code Lyoko Forum Hospital! Somebody, give it CPR!

ART:-

The last day of October witnessed the “XANA PUMPKIN 2010” which isn’t a sacred Halloween tradition for CL fans… actually it is according to searching “Last year I started a tradition of carving Code Lyoko Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkins for Halloween” so he did two “Xana pumpkins” to make your Halloween more evil.

Tales of Lyoko:-

Legend posted a one-shot named “I am become death” which requires a Google search to understand the title.

Story Challenges:-

October means Halloween and what is better than Halloween? Writing a “sweet” fic about it. “Sweet as Candy” was the story challenge of the month.

“100 Word Drabble Challenge!” was interesting. With “someone, catch that monster”, “Miss popularity”, “Future- Jeremy” and “Future- Aelita” as prompts. ALL of them were amazing and highly recommended to read.

“Halloween Frights” was supposed to represent Halloween at its best. After all, writing a scary Halloween fic is always entertaining for both the reader and the author. Sadly, only Binary managed to make one, thus giving him the win.

Caption Competition continued with high activity and hilarious captions.

Role-playing:-

Keeper introduced the biggest RPG in XL the past month “Xanadu”. The activity continued this month as the players (Railen, Stella and Binary) were given the chance to submit their character’s stats.

The game started on Mon Oct 11 and with a big surprise. Keeper really did know how to make a successful RPG. Pictures, detailed stats, incredible system, background info, cities and much more, this RPG were an immediate success. The mystery of Xanadu is still going strong with six pages of role-playing.

The laboratory:-

“2nd Achievements” was updated twice as Never Minder managed to get “First class” for creating a mystic character in the GA while Aeon grabbed “Master mind” for beating the chess game.

The Grand Arena:-

One stimulation challenge was run in “Challenges”. Kitty and Mia managed to fix/save Railen’s microwave (yea…-important stuff) and none dared to take the boss battle in “Xana Alert”.

“Adventure” was more interesting as “Beginner tactics” was so big that you would get lost trying to understand what is happening, why are people falling on their butts and where the hell were those players coming from. The first one started with Rosuto and Sylar. Mid game, something felt wrong because Rosuto was not responding. Sylar found out that Rosuto liked to hibernate in the worst situations so he had to fend of the monsters and save Rosuto on his own. A very noble act from a great player (It is kinda obvious who is writing the summary?). Luckily, Rosuto woke up and decided to help. Sylar was later devirtualized after getting “the shiny thing” which contains… something awesome for sure. Rosuto got devirtualized after pulling a stunt. Good game nevertheless.

The second “Beginner tactics” was bigger and epic. It started with Mia and Railen but they were later joined by Kitty (who was taught how to “fly” earlier), Rosuto and Lucie. Of course, Railen had to take care of the computer so he made a strategic escape (ran away). This game was “paused” due to some technical problems involving time.

“Maze” started with Rosuto and Sylar, but Rosuto decided to hibernate AGAIN so Sylar was on his own for a while before excusing himself out, leaving Rosuto to struggle alone. Good thing he managed to get the job done.

In the shop, “Student training” was the only item for sale. Binary, Minder, Kitty and Stella all had their character’s profiles updated.

XL Times:-

The desert posted their summary for September.

The Arcade:-

Slim M&P 4 was posted and Kitty was hosting… two great things happening at the same time. Is it going to be epic? Of course! Is it going to be updated? Only Kitty knows.

M&P 2 with Binary hosting and promises of having enough time to do it. Was it good? Well, we have to wait for it to start first.

Couple guesses in “Lyoko screenshot 14” and more activity in “Up-Me-Down” as everyone started playing that game I never got to understand while “A Million reasons to,” continued its journey to the millionth reason. “Guess the picture 2” was archived as tookeys claimed the win.

General Talk:-

Tookey’s grandma is doing better and she is out of the ICU. Great news!

Tookeys asked for help with the “Music box project” sadly, no one had a clue.

Random facts started with a secret… The staff is organizing a birthday party for the forum, but don't tell anyone! Said Railen… in a non-secret way. Then the randomness began as people started agreeing that the flu sucks then came the songs from Binary and we all know how hard those songs can hit you.

General Chat started with a confusing (inappropriate if given enough thought/imagination) statement. Shadows summed the month October means Halloween, which means ghost candy and yummy stories then 10/10/2010, fiction talk, elections and a lot of “general” stuff.

Searching had chicken livers. Why is this separated from the RF and GC part? It had its own topic with hopefully, maybe and I do not know in the same sentence.

“Conversation with AelitaBelpois” continued its crazy run in the new fourteen-page topic. Interesting conversation.
