Site Update
After a few days worth of battle, the Spoopy Mansion has finally been boarded up so that it can be deep cleaned to remove any lingering green particles, and so that no one has to deal with that unbearable, gassy smell.
"Okay, it seems like everyone is back to normal now," Querel said after ensuring that no one was particularly green or gooey. "I guess I should say sorry; I didn't give you as potent a vaccine as I should have to make you completely immune because we needed the show to go on for a little longer."
Seeing some confusion on a few faces, Querel continued speaking. "So, I'm sure you all know that Greta and Aketch have been a little different ever since that candy fiasco they pulled. Well, we had our suspicions over what happened, but we couldn't really... prove anything, y'know? At least, we wanted to be careful about it, since we didn't know what they would do if we acted too soon."
With all eyes on him, Querel took that as a sign that everyone wanted to know more. "It seems like those two were enthralled by the chaos all of you created, and so we were able to get the upper-hand on them. Tech was able to place a tracker on them, and he went with Miksa to track them down. I'm sure wherever they're going, that's where the real Greta and Aketch are."
Even after that explanation, everyone seemed to be waiting expectantly. "... This isn't about a 'reward' or 'prizes,' it is?" After a bit of clamoring from his audience, Querel sighed deeply. "Okay, okay..."
As stated before, participation was the greatest factor in this event, and so the trophies will be handed out in regard to that! The top 10 participants will receive a Gold Zombie A-chomp-calypse Trophy, regardless of which team they were on! The next top 25 participants will receive a Silver Zombie A-chomp-calypse Trophy, and everyone who posted at least ten times will receive a Bronze Zombie-A-chomp-calypse Trophy for their participation!
Additionally, we have some "team based" achievements for those who posted 10+ times!
A shirt that reads "I survived the Zombie A-chomp-calypse and all I got was this dumb shirt." This item is a reward for those who switched teams during the Zombie A-Chomp-calypse event and unlocks the "Jack of All Teams" achievement.
You never know when zombies may attack, so it's best to always be prepared! This item is a reward for those who began as an Uninfected player and was never infected during the Zombie A-chomp-calypse event, unlocking the "I'm a Survivor" achievement.
It seems like someone didn't finish their dinner! This item is a reward for those who began as an Infected player and was never vaccinated during the Zombie A-chomp-calypse event, unlocking the "Brain Connoisseur" achievement.
We know that this event was a bit different in comparison to our usual events, but we hope that everyone enjoyed the change of pace and perhaps even made a few new friends! We will take into consideration the feedback thread that was created, and due to various instances of unsportsmanlike conduct, we will also reevaluate how we handle those cases in the future so that the events remain fun for everyone. The story will continue during our winter festivities, so please look forward to it!

Yeah, for some time all forums were unavailable for me but then I saw people posting recently in "steal the custom" topic which was in the mansion and I succeeded to post! And then I visited that topic again and checked my health bar on top of the page that went down to 2...... PANIC O.O 🐌 Voluspa (#67552)

So I did browse the mansion forums, like what's inside those different rooms and posted in the bathroom hoping I would get healed... NOPE that was a wrong one 🐌 Voluspa (#67552)

The first news post was on October 20th, the second post mentioning the mansion was October 24th, the third news post was October 30th with another one following on October 31st. If during this time there was something on the site side that was preventing you from being able to participate, it would have been best to PM a staff member about it. As far as I am aware, no one reported any issues about not being able to post in the mansion to staff, so we wouldn't have known to look into it if it had been an issue.

I thought "not being able to post yet" was intentional on your side because the mansion was still in the works or something :O Lacia (#25044)

It was for a little bit, when you saw the goofy error messages and such, but not for that entire timeline I mentioned, so if someone still couldn't post, that was something to report to see if we could get them helped out.

Aww, Haru. <3 The Zombie Apocalypse was no picnic for the Uninfected like it was for the Infected (technically more like a rave, than a picnic, actually), but I'm glad I was able to help someone be a Survivor! :)
I tried to coordinate the Uninfected and spread information on how to play as Uninfected, even wrote a guide. Wish I could've helped more people and known about that 10 post minimum rule (I would've spread that info around for sure!). But that's the downside of an unguided event: You don't know what you don't know!
Perhaps next time, you could at least stress that everyone should be trying to get at least ten posts in, no matter what team you end up on. :) That's not a spoiler-y reveal and would really help those of us who are confused when there are no explanations given about anything.
Yay that Saphire/Lassombra did get a trophy at least. ^^
Anyway, just posting this suggestion to try to make the next event even better than this already-amazing, but chaotic one was, lol.

I really thought the whole thing was very confusing, too complicated, and ALL of the rules & procedures weren't really spelled out in one central location.
And one thing that I think can be fixed for next time an event like this occurs, is perhaps to format it so that all of it fits on anybody's size screen, instead of a fixed width. I had to shrink my screen while in the Mansion in order to see everything. And the font that was used, one could hardly tell the difference between an "a" or an "o". But, I guess that last part is minor.
