Features: Event Only Encounters
 
 
 
The appearance of the Gargantuan Baraton is one of the most famous early event encounters on Rubi-Ka. Occurred on August 18, 29475 outside of MeetMeDere, and again on August 19 outside of Tir.
The most curious and unusual occurrences on Rubi-Ka are not the first encounters with a new animal, or a battle waged against an especially powerful Guardian, but are rather described as "event only encounters."

An event only encounter is a general term used to classify and describe the sudden appearance of an unusually large or powerful specimen of a regular animal as described in the pages of this site. Whether human, animal, plant, or "alien", these encounters are almost always exciting and dangerous encounters for the settlers fortunate enough to be involved in them.

A typical event only encounter will involve at least 10-50 different settlers, and an uncoordinated defense of a city that has come under attack by the event-only creature. Shown below are some of the reported event-only encounters.

If you would like to submit an event only encounter, a picture of the event MUST be included. Submit the date, time, and location of the event, the picture, and your settler name to me at krystanova@yahoo.com. Since encounters CANNOT be verified without a picture, any submissions without a picture will not be posted. The picture must be centered on the creature, not on the settler, and it is preferred if the creature is still alive. If the settler is blocking the creature in any way, (if it's a small one, anyway) the picture will not be accepted. Once an encounter is posted, only those who have submitted a picture prior to posting will be included as having encountered the beast. In the event of multiple submissions of the same encounter, or multiple pictures by the same person of the same encounter, the best picture will be selected by the site's operators. Also, please note that, under no circumstances will a DynaCamp boss be accepted as an event-only encounter.
