One of our favourite winning entries
"I am Okae, and I am here in the streets, reporting for you LIVE on what could be one of the biggest gang events we have seen in decades.
It started earlier today, with the Mafioso and Triads bickering in the local Diner. The Law were situated outside, when all of a sudden there was a huge explosion, and the diner blew into pieces. Many of the triads and Mafioso members are dead or seriously injured, but the remaining members are fighting it out with one another! Currently the Mafioso are being beat to smithereens by the Triads.
And OH MY GOODNESS, the Punks have now got involved!
They have just played a huge note on an electric guitar, and the Mafioso are holding their ears, whereas the Triads seem to be sitting down on the ground humming! The punks are still playing their guitar, oh, OW *SHIELDS EARS* that one hurt my ears!
Okay.. I'm going to try and chat to this Law member, who's lying on the ground injured. "Sir! Hello? Can you hear me? Hello? You are live on Habbo4 TV, please don't.." *Interrupted* "Help! Help me! Help! “Bobba” this hurts!" "Oh.. Erm, I was going to say please do not swear, but forget it now. Okay, what happened earlier?" "JUST HELP ME, BOY!" Okay, the man seems a bit delusional- he can't seem to recollect what happened earlier-
*BANG*
OH MY! There has just been another explosion and many people are fleeing the scene! AAAAH! *Falls to the ground* There is glass from the Mafioso HQ everywhere! KENNY, KENNY- SHIELD THE CAMERA! KENNY! Oh. My cameraman has just fainted!
*RUNS* I don't think I have to say anything else, but- could this be the end of the Habbo Hood gangs? Is it over?"

The Gnome Identity
Congratulations to Jezzie022 who came up with this very fitting and clever description for our latest Collectable. We all knew the Gnome had come from Germany, but we had no idea exactly how he came to wash up on our shores. Although not all our questions have been answered, at least we can now shed a little light on this mystery.
"His name is Gnomefred. His favourite hobby is fishing for food. He was part of the very last gnome tribe, which was located in a forest in Southern Germany. One day an English explorer called Alfred discovered the tribe. He took Gnomefred away from his home with the intention of showing the people of England his strange discovery. However, during a treacherous channel crossing Gnomefred fell victim to the sea - never to be seen again. Until now..."
Jezzie022 wins 51 Habbo Credits and a Gnome!

Gnome Watch UK - http://www.habbo.co.uk/articles/320-gnome-watch-uk

Don't worry. There's no dodgy presenters or hidden cameras in these competition results!
Last week we reported on a missing Gnome. Last seen wearing a red hat, red top, boots and sporting a fantastically overgrown beard. Nice!
Thankfully, you all helped us to find the missing Gnome by figuring out which of the 9 Gnome rooms did not contain one of our friendly fellows. If you didn't join the search, then you can still play for fun by visiting the room below.
Go to the gnome watch room >>
Alternatively, go to the Gnome Competitions Navigator Floor.

Competition Winners and Answer
Congratulations to the following 10 Habbos who have all won 1 month of Habbo Club. They were selected at random from all those who got the correct answer. The correct answer was room 9. For everyone who incorrectly guessed room 6, have another look in that room to see if you can spot the Gnome!

The Gnome Identity - http://www.habbo.co.uk/articles/315-the-gnome-identity

Show your creative flair and solve this gnome's mystery for prizes!
Whistles screeching. Voices shouting. Rain thundering down onto a rickety old fishing vessel somewhere off of the Norfolk Coast.
That was the scene last night when a small man-type creature was fished out of the sea.
He was alive but cannot remember a thing. He has amnesia, a strong German accent and a beard.
The vessel brought this peculiar chap ashore and he is currently holed-up in Great Yarmouth.
He isn't well gnome in those parts and he isn't aware of his last gnome location.
Is he from Gnomefurt? Gnomunich? Gnomeburg? Berlin? or just a Gnomad? Why is his hair in a Gnome-over?
You have the chance to tell us who he is!
