Sheesh Report post Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) The Event team is gearing up for Halloween and its time for you all to plan for this as well. We will be holding a large event for the weekend before Halloween, which will be announced a little later--we are still working out some details, but on Tuesday night (Oct 31st) when the moon is bright (in game) we will be having a ghost story contest in a convenient little tavern near a local cemetery. So start planning these stories now. Rules: 1. Use English (no leet allowed). 2. Nothing to cause flame wars allowed or will be tolerated. 3. Be original. 4. Please, nothing too long--500 words max. Time will be officially announced in game. If these stories do what they are intended to do, who knows, we may actually be able to raise spirits from their graves on Halloween night. Prize: Winner of the best story will receive a Warlock cloak. Edited October 18, 2006 by Sheesh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheesh Report post Posted October 23, 2006 Why of course, why we are doing the contest in game so we can all hear them as we get drunk in a tavern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stewbaby Report post Posted October 23, 2006 Of course... for over half of the players of EL, Halloween means absolutely nothing, except the kitsch American tradition of "demanding with menaces". The only thing of real significance that happened on 31 Oct was Peter Jackson was born. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
