Aix Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 So we're going to have another Halloween Masquerade like last year, so it's time to start planning. Rather than just keeping it up to the mods to decide the specifics, it'd be more productive if you guys spoke up on what you want. So, what suggestions do you have to make this event a success?

Jord200 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 We could do something like a scavenger hunt. Maybe whoever does something scary wins in a contest or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 If we're going to be doing the monsters thing again, can members who were monsters last year sign up to be monsters this year? ...Uh I dunno, I don't have any good suggestions tbh, apart from this silly one; having this play out similar to the Easter Egg hunt and hide candy around the forum or something, and yeah that sounded s*** in my head and on paper.

This could totally be cool though. But with one additional idea that you make it so people have to interact with the monsters to find stuff somehow. No idea how you could hide things well enough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astolfo Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hm.... Going off the trick or treat thing, have it elimination + Russian roulette style? Like IDK if it's possible to implement, but the "treat" will be with one user (multiple treats, one user per treat), but the "clue" will hint at two possible users, and if you get the right one, you move on, if not, then some thingy or whatever eliminates you from the contest?

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 It could be like the easter one, but perhaps the hints have to be acquired from the monsters? Like a haunted house scavenger hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the mods give the monsters a specific piece of info to tell the members as they ask them perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astolfo Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 OH! Maybe with that idea, give some monsters false information, as the trick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with this idea is that it limits the contest greatly based on the activity of said monsters. Of course, mobile internet browsing exists so I am sure it would be doable. OH! Maybe with that idea, give some monsters false information, as the trick? That sounds hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, mobile internet browsing exists so I am sure it would be doable. I remember a rule from last year's event was that you had to be active. OH! Maybe with that idea, give some monsters false information, as the trick? That sounds hilarious although that'll probs end up with some members saying to each other "This monster gave me false info, don't trust them."

Astolfo Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 But it should be made so the false clues can lead to a *false* result, so they wouldn't know until the very end of this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So somebody could think they have it all figured out, only to have it revealed that they were totally wrong? Seems Halloween'y enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astolfo Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yep, that would be ideal in my opinion. And even if they maybe came from a right one, but then went onto a wrong one, they wouldn't be able to tell by dead ends, because it should all flow together, so it could be maybe a monster earlier from the line that was the trickster(s).

a bad post Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 This is kinda out of left field, but what if we did a YCM werewolf game, if we could get the amount of members we did last year it could end up being really fun. just my 2 cents though...

a bad post Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Why not both? The more the merrier I always say, but would we be able to get enough activity for both. If we could though that would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 If we're going to be doing the monsters thing again, can members who were monsters last year sign up to be monsters this year? You probably can, but obviously would need to find a new identity to assume this year. We'll discuss this in the mod forum. (Also trying to figure out if Mugen/Aix are playing again this time around.) Idea is still 15 members + whatever mods want in. If you think we should increase this number, speak up. As for additional ideas, I vaguely remember the stamp event for Halloween back in 2009 (for those of you who remember). Not sure how that'll work out this time, but could be a scavenger hunt of sorts, like a few of you suggested. Each "monster" gets a stamp and they hide it in either one of their unlocked posts (preferably not in a really old one; those should've been archived though) or in profile fields. Of course, that would imply said users have some experience with GFXing (essentially, find/make a pic that'll represent you; slap a photo frame around it, upload it somewhere; then hide them somwhere). In the case of very active members, the amount of posts you'd have to search will prove to be harder than the newer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 If you want a really scary Halloween you could bring Coolspy back for the day Hmm, well not sure on details or anything but similar idea to what Elly said, maybe something where one of the members is a "serial killer" killing off people and leaving clues or something. Or make it an alt like the Masquerade..... It's 2 A.M, I barely know what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also trying to figure out if Mugen/Aix are playing again this time around.) I gathered that. Of course the main issue is that we'd have to make another new account which would require us to use a different email from the prev monster account. And it's not like mods can delete accounts (so a member can use the email they used for that account for a new one) or delete name change history of the prev monster account to save them from making a new account and so it isn't easy to guess who they are. Nevertheless I do have a couple of ideas for who I would become should I want to do this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 We actually can delete accounts (though only Supers / YCMaker can); I remember having to request Night to delete someone back in July after they threw a fit with me over warns [they wanted it though]. Or we just change the emails on the old monster accounts to some random stuff so you can reuse the emails you had on those for the new ones, should you decide to play on newer ones.

Aix Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 So, any more fun event things you guys think could possibly work. Even if you haven't got it all figured out yet post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Should I suggest the old stamp thing from 2009 then? Except the monsters get a stamp and hide them; not all of the mods (considering only Axi, myself and Mugen are playing as staff right now).
