Profile Trick-or-Treating has ended, but you may still find the NPCs around the various event threads ~ thank everyone for playing and bearing with the difficulties! :)

How will this work?

The basic concept for this activity is to treat each participating NPC's profile as his or her "home," and to use the profile comments as a means of trick-or-treating each one. At various points during the event, certain NPCs will be available for visitors. They'll post here to let you know they're home, and it will be up to you to act on it -- you'll post "trick or treat" on their profiles and they'll trade you a treat (or trick, as it may be!). To be a bit more specific:

1. Check the list of Participating NPCs in post #4 to see who is currently "home" and accepting visitors. (They may also just drop in for a moment and post a quick note in the thread, so make sure to keep an eye out.)
2. When you find someone who is home, click the image or hotlink to visit the NPC's Profile.
3. Post a Visitor Message on the profile containing the words "Trick or Treat."
4. Check your trades and accept your treat! (We can't make any promises with the more mischievous sorts, though.. You may just get a trick instead!) Note: Trade notifications are broken for some people so please keep checking your trades if you're expecting an item.

THE RULES

You may trick-or-treat each profile ONLY ONCE PER ACCOUNT. If you spam profiles we may have to ask you to stop participating altogether, and you won't get any treats. You may, however, trick-or-treat on your mule as well as your main. Approved charity mules are welcome to participate also. But be mindful of the Site Rules concerning mules, please!

BE RESPECTFUL. When a townsperson posts that they're out of candy, please respect that and don't beg and complain on their profile or in the thread -- chances are the shortage is only temporary!

Please don't bother folks who aren't on the list of participating NPCs! If the porch light is off and the curtains are drawn, it's safe to bet they don't want you rapping at the door.

PLEASE BE PATIENT. As this is a code-free event we have to manually trade each item to each person, so expect the occasional delay when we get swamped with requests. We promise we won't forget you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What kind of prizes can I get here?
A. This thread will be handing out Halloween Special NPC Gifts (SNGs). These are special items that NPCs will only be giving out around Halloween, so if you miss them this time you might have to wait until next year!

Q. When will the NPCs be home? I can never seem to catch one.
A. We can't have them stay home the whole time, as they're all involved in other activities. But there will be several opportunities (in multiple time zones) to catch them throughout the event.

Q. Is there a way to subscribe to this thread, so I don't miss anything?
A. When viewing a thread, at the top of the page on the right there's a dropdown menu labeled Thread Tools. If you click that, you'll see an option to Subscribe to this Thread. Once subscribed, you need only to hit My Account (top of the screen near the Mene logo) to see a list of your subscribed threads that have new activity. Quite handy!

Q. How will I know what sort of costumes a given NPC would like to see?
A. There is a wonderful guide that offers some background information on the various townspeople and shopkeepers of Menewsha: The Menewsha NPC Guide

Q. I'm worried about accidentally visiting the same NPC again.. Is there a way to tell who gave out what?

Ooh! Grandpa forgot to tell you something! You can't go trick-or-treating if you're not wearing a costume! Make sure you remember to dress up first - you might even win something special if you do it just right!

This isn't a contest you "enter" in a traditional sense. When you trick-or-treat a participating NPC's profile, he or she will be taking notice of what you're wearing. If your costume catches the eye and appeals to the person's particular tastes, you have a chance of being chosen as his or her "favorite costume." Those who manage to achieve this feat will receive a special prize at the end of the event.

*giggles*
I can't wait to see all the costumes! I want someone to dress as a bunnyfish! Oooo! And! And a whalecow! *bounces* This is going to be so much fun! Plus there's going to be lots and lots of candy!

So long as they don't eat it all at once, right Cessy? *chuckles*

You may post now, everyone. Happy Hallowe'en!
