It's time once again. Yes, the dreaded time where the clock strikes 13 and the owl hoots and hoots. The time for ghouls and ghasts to graciously group up and go around for the wondrous event we call Halloween!
This time, instead of gathering pumpkins to get your delicacy we call candy, you need to procure me another well-known staple of the night: the Ghost! NO NOT SHELBOO... don't harass the booghost please. We all had a monster mash and hide and seeks. Needless to say, she won and then some. She left me a note that I supposedly wrote during the mash but I'll read it later.
Now these ghosts are nice and will stay in their respected places. What respected area? i don't know! I took them away and hid them around the forums. I may have a slight problem when it comes to these things but oh well! I need your help once again to recover all the ghosts before you get your candy. Ah, now back to the note:
The ghosts have finally departed for a while. It's now my move to portray my smile.
Miss Aleph Null, the riddles Supreme. Out for another year, this is not but a meme.
Instead of 12, 18 ghosts to find. A daunting task, for all you to bind.
You see, every day, I will post a clue. That clue is where that little ghost is due.
And if you find it in time, I wish you good days, and if not, the riddle will depart from where it lays.
Riddle one is below, at the time of this post. Now be a good contestant, and be courteous to our host.
I wish you good luck, and a spooky Halloween, be sure to not only trick, but also treat in between.
One more thing, there will be bonuses in full. But that's not for me to decide, that is for Aleph Null.
1. For the next 18 days (October 10th - October 28th), ghosts will be scattered throughout the forums. These ghosts can be in ANY board, except Active Game Threads/Signups.
2. Ghosts will show up daily. In addition, a riddle will be provided to where the ghost is located. You have 24 hours to find them, after the 24 hours are up they will be swapped out for another one! (Hint: The Ghosts will always be in spoilers.)
This is the Ghost: Spoiler:
3. If you find a Ghosts, record the title of the thread it's in, their number, and the code attached to them! (FORMAT SHOWN BELOW)
4. Starting October 28th, you should PM your findings to Octavriousa. You have until 11:59PM EDT October 30th, two days. Winners will be announced the 31st of October.
5. Do not talk about the event anywhere except for in the event thread. However, discussion is limited. Players may not give out hints, links, codes, etc to other players. Usage of multiple accounts are not allowed, either. If you are found doing any this, you will be disqualified from the event.
6. Please be respectful, it's our #1 rule. During the event, should a player receive any type of warning for being disrespectful/harassment, they will automatically be disqualified from the event.
7. Be mindful of the times when a moderator would post and update the thread. There may be times where we are busy/not awake to update it exactly on time.
8. This event contains more user-made riddles than before. These people can still participate but will not get points for the riddle they made. Please be nice to the user who made the riddle. The person who made the riddle should NOT reveal excess hints/information about the answer. Failure to abide by this rule will commence in a DQ and Blacklist.
When sending in your findings, send Octavriousa a PM in the format below:
Spoiler:
If you do not follow this format, your results will not count. Please make sure you follow the format when sending in your findings (tildes don't matter, all we require is the number, location, and code).
Available prizes: 1x Town of Salem Coven Expansion Code, 1x Steam Game of your choosing (less than $10), TownPoints Granted by Naru, 3x Rank Flair.
Bonus Prize (for 4th and 5th): 2x Rank Flairs, 1x Steam Game of your choosing (less than $5)
For #1-#3, prizes will go to whoever has the most Ghosts. The prizes go like this:
#1. Flair, choice of Cov/Steam/[insert TP].
#2. Flair, choice of Cov/Steam/[insert TP] (not picked by #1)
#3. Flair, left over choice.
For the 4th and 5th winners, we will be doing prizes similar to Halloween Event 2015. Every ghost you manage to find, you will get a ticket. If you find 5 ghosts, you get 5 tickets. If you find all 18(there's actually more than the base 18~), you get 18 tickets. Some ghosts may be weighted more than other, but the poster/OP will say when it happens. These tickets will go towards the lottery to win a flair and bonus prize. The more tickets you have, the better your chances!
You may ask, why are we doing it this way? This is so new players to the forums aren't at a disadvantage, and if you miss a ghost or two, you aren't completely out of the running.
Oh and, in case you were wondering, this is what the flair looks like:
Participants cannot win more then once. There will be 5 winners total. If there is a tie for #1-#3, those people will be raffled against each-other for the prizes.
