Hey guys. Just dropping in to let you guys know what's going on with a few things.

1. The Shadress event IS over and the rewards will be sent to everyone in the near future (gonna have to prod Scott a bit to help me out with that). The reason I haven't sent banners to those who defeated her, which I will list those who did in a moment, is because the banner we have states that she was defeated in Halloween 2014. I realize that's not a big deal to most of you, but I'd like them to be semi accurate. Or just remove the date. I'll be asking Zorg about that.

Those who defeated Shadress were: Kabios23, Killy, Shysta, Teeg, Samcro, Raoh, AllLitUp20, CroFighter, HappyDays, BongHitter, and evrox. I also have an extensive list of individuals who put forth a great effort in trying to beat her. What that means (since I never explained it) is people who did a good amount of damage to her but didn't get the final hit or were beaten by her at the last few seconds and missed out. Or even those who got beaten several times but kept coming back for more punishment

2. The Halloween competitions will be judged by myself, Scott, and a couple other people I've already had volunteer. Those should be done in the near future.

3. Those who applied for VH a while back but have yet to get a response, I apologize now and will be doing my best to get Scott to actually move forward with those so you can stop waiting

Hope everyone had a safe, fun Halloween. And we will be seeing you in the near future

That's the +25% bonus Platinum sale live for Halloween to match Fallen Swords. It'll stay up until the end of Monday (November 2nd) and also gives you some Voodoo Dolls as it has done in the past. Let me know if you encounter any problems with them.

A few things, this may be a long blog. Steven has returned so obviously he's working on multiple things already. Myself and a few others are staring to plan the Christmas Events already - gets earlier every year

We're adding more to the chat functions soon - Zorg is still working out some kinks, we're working through the name change submissions already! If this pilot scheme works and is successful I have no problems rolling it out permanently and editing the name change pages to advise that the scheme exists. In mod news we're reviewing (Will doesn't know this yet) all forum rules, with a few to relax them so that forum activity can perk up. I've asked all mods in their forum on advice and suggestions.

And finally GWC is returning. More will be posted next week but to advise you - IT will be based off one gang rank ONLY and their personal warfare points will count. I hope this results in a bloodbath but I can only dream

Halloween is upon us so lets see if we can't stir up some fun and hand out some freebies this week Ciao!

Alright guys, time for a little Halloween update and info.

Shadress
Shadress has been wandering the Wastelands seeking strong opponents. I sort of touched on rewards for her, but I'll elaborate a little this time. Those who actually defeat her will receive the Shadress Banner as well as a few bonus items. I am also keeping track of those who really try to take her on but don't manage to get the final hit. Those guys will also get a couple of items. The items can include things such as Minimoo Chocolate, Minomoo Juice, Halloween Candy, and a couple other random goodies. Everything will be distributed after Halloween, when Shadress leaves and returns to the void.

Halloween Costume and Horror Story contest
To try and include everyone, I've decided to host a little costume and horror story competition in the Main Forum. Possible staff favor and the official competition banner up for grabs on that one. So put on your best outfit and tell us your best horror story. Bonus points if the costume goes with the story.

Happy Halloween
