Site Update
"Kekekeke, Aketchy~" The mischievous Lunaris taunts the Apocalypse unus once they finally find her. "Sleep well?" she purrs
Aketch grinds their teeth as they stare at the floating woman, "We had a deal! You owe me every piece of that candy you gave away!" They slam their cane down with an echoing thud.
"Aww... how about we make a deal? This year, if I gather more candy than you... You will gather candy for me every year from now on!" Greta giggles and does a flip in mid air, grinning menacingly.
The Unus pauses in thought before nodding, "Very well, Imp! However, if I gather more candy than you... you are never allowed to eat another piece again!"
Greta giggles and grins "Fine~ But I have the lovely little Aywans who will help me, they love me now, I gave them candy" she nods and glances over, "That is how that works... right?" she questions, ignoring the snort from Aketch.
It is time to join sides!
Will you aid Greta in proving that she is more loved than the Apocalypse Unus of Famine? Or will you join Aketch in getting a permanent revenge on the Lunaris!? The decision is yours... however there is a few noteworthy pieces of information:
- This event focuses around Candy! All the trick or treating you have done will help to earn you a place in our high score board. Turn in candy to aid your Team Overlord! (They chose the title, not me.)
- You give candy to your leader on their Trick or Treat page, so when you go to Knock under "Site Characters" in the world tab.
- Users on opposing team can try to steal from the other Team's Overlord, and if successful it will effect the overall score of both teams.
- Candy will still be a shop currency as well, so spend wisely. There will be less pets and items for sale for candy this year, however there will be 2 big ticket items.
- There will be special "tasks" that take place every other day, during this task period you cannot join a new team. You can only do so during the "inactive" time.
- If you do quit your team, your Candy score gets reset to 0.
- If your team wins the "task" your team will get a special bonus or reward. Don't worry, the one big ticket reward will be available in the shop as well. All members of the team will get the bonus, whether they participated or not. (This may change for one of the tasks but we will announce it beforehand)
- The team with the lowest member count will receive a multiplier based on the size difference of the two teams for the tasks. This will help to balance the tasks in case one team is substantially larger than the other.
- The first task will not start tonight, we want to give a little bit of time for everyone to pick a team.
- If you are not on any team you will not be able to interact with Greta or Aketch, they're too busy for that.
The top 50 users of both teams will get a very special, unique title! The title that you get will be based off of the highest Karma you achieved during the event.
One final tidbit... I am happy to announce, that after many, many, maaaany user requests, we have forum vistas! Once you unlock them you can find it under Account-Settings-Edit Account- Forum Settings.
At this point we only have one available, and it can be found in the USD Shop! If you would like a preview of it come and see One of my posts! It will remain in the USD Shop until October 31st at 11:59pm.
Note: I know a bunch of you are gonna ask for a way to turn off your HA's now to show off the super awesome Vista, it will be coming shortly <3

"There will be special "tasks" that take place every other day" Will the tasks last for at least 24hrs, so that people in all time zones get to participate? ^_^

So excited to be on Aketch's team, they're my favorite Unus. I'm really really excited for the tasks and the seasonal shop and everything in general. Thank you staff and team for always making October holidays so fun to be a part of!

♎ Astra ♎ (#16365) The use of the singular "they/them" in a formal setting is becoming more acceptable but you're right, that doesn't make it correct. I understand where you're coming from there, there are certain phrases that no matter how many times I hear them, they just make me cringe. XD
There's a few suggestions for possible pronouns that I've seen being used around the place, such as "xe/xem/xir" but none of these are widely used or accepted. It would be easier to just use "it" at present, but at the end of the day it's up to the individual and how they wish to be addressed, social conventions and all that.
Thanks, there were a few things I had to look up because I'm used to a more casual way of speaking (so much so that I'm not aware of it). I genuinely find this interesting.

Hikora (#7024) Right now it is up in the air, the final amount will be determined based on the amount of "On hand" candy is average amongst the userbase.
Aeth & rage (#46) At this point there is not an option, staff will have to discuss if we feel this is necessary.
Witchy Witch High (#39846) Pretty much lol, whoever you wanna stick it to more
Kanein TrickTreat (#49712) Maybe their psychic and know you'll betray them~ (yasu has already been alerted of this issue)
Foxtrot (#40289) There might be, we have been discussing the possibilities of it.
Shadow🍬Atlantis (#825) What you send in
Diprosopus (#36539) You pinged great <3 xD
♎ Astra ♎ (#16365) As Devonian Treats! (#28589) Stated, using "They" as singular is a common thing, and I will never nor will I ever permit my staff to use "It" when regards to gender unless specifically requested by that user. It is derogatory and extremely rude, while Aketch may not truly care one way or another he has not given me permission and I will not spread the wrong type of information to the userbase. While I understand your belief for english teachers, I have personally spoken with several during my interactions and they have not expressed any issues in these matters, so perhaps it is a personal preference. And while I respect your opinion that you may not feel "They" is grammatically correct, I do hope that you respect those who believe that "They" is, and that you do not ever refer to the people who use that pronoun as an "It." This will also be the last bit that I respond to this, and I have to request that you and everyone else involved please take it to PM as some of the conversation can be seen as offensive as we have many people who use "They" pronouns.
Prof JaMEW (#2712) Yeah I knew where you would end up lol
NyctiCorax (#1965) vladthebad (treats!) (#8672) Some of them may be like 6 hours, some of them 12 hours I believe. We may have one that goes for 24 hours
holy kris2(Treats) (#15280) As the news post states candy will be a secondary currency, the pumpkins are always the main currency.

Devonian Treats! (#28589) Exactly, it's been around in informal language for a very long time and wrong for just as long. ;D Sometimes you have to say "they/them" if you don't know their gender, but it's still not right... Well, language can go ahead and evolve, but it will probably leave me behind, hah. /old-dog-new-tricks XD I do get how "it" would be offensive, but it's the only gender-neutral single pronoun we have in English as far as I know.
Aberrance 🐙🍬 (#77201) Maybe eventually we'll get a good gender-neutral term for non-binary folks, but till then, English teachers will rue the day they entered into their profession and I don't know if I'll ever be able to think of "they" as singular in any context. ;D Meanwhile... HUNGER is ALL to Aketch! Lol.
