• How do I earn event currency?
  
  You will gain some event currency for each post that you make in the forums during the event.
  
  Additionally, you might gain some more by playing the game of chance every 15 minutes. But it's a true game of chance: you may win big, or you may walk away empty-handed!
  
  Chance Game Info:
  
  • Aces are LOW - don't be caught off guard!
  • Up to 5 pairs of cards to play every 15 minutes, if you guess correctly.
  • Cash out and collect your winnings, or risk losing the pot by guessing incorrectly the next round...your choice!

  If you participate enough and earn a lot of event currency, you could get some free commons too!

• Are there event commons?
  
  Yes! Just head down to the Special Event Store.
  
  Note: Commons are all added to the shop, but need tagging for the previews to work - we'll let you know when that's done. [yes]
  
  Event commons will be available after the event ends. However, they will be moved out into the main stores and will retail for double their event price.

I so love a bunch of the common's.. they just utterly ROCK.

Ara? Where be my event token count? [sosad]

Yan's eaten it, or so a very reliable source tells me!

I don't see any event tokens anywhere. [sweat] Will we be getting them this event - because I won't be getting anything if I have to buy with gold. :(

I think you can view your token count by switching to the clone layout? Last time I checked ahhaa

also nice commons! Agreed though...not sure what they have to do with halloween but they are niceee <3

I'd check the announcement, Cessy has a theory!

Omg, bork and means... I may have just died a lil!

>< Yan put that. He's so ebil to me [cry]

Nice, although, I really wish I could view the token/tater count. :(

you can view them if you change your theme to Menewsha Style (Clone).

Oh! Okay. Now I see it on the main page... I was like, I changed but I still can't see it. haha.

I put the Purdurder Sack on my avatar... and now my skin is transparent! Is this a bug or a feature?

Er... That's odd! Have you tried poking around the avatar panel and putting your skin back?

It's a feature [yes] Though not in conjunction with the potato sack :/

I calculated 3010 "taters" needed for the commons. If anyone wants to check my math, they are more than welcome to add them all up as well!

Wow, all the event commons are up already! You guys were fast this event! Kudos! :D

Bellybutton was a beast! It's on me to get them out of the event store and into the proper shops, though. There's no way I can match her hard work. Everyone should give her cookies.

Yay! for the event...
love the commons... and i can't believe we got that latte cup hehehe [heart]
i am especially enjoying the bright colors and stars on the clothes...
Love your work Pixellists [heart]
More taters to you all [:D] (Yes this is the official greeting of the event [:D] )
