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!

Or maybe have a display option to switch it back to normal-looking forums, 'cos I quite enjoyed everything about the look and movement of the Spoopy Mansion, but I get that certain people might have trouble viewing it and/or prefer not to.

Congrats Eddie! :D
I got Brain Connoisseur, neat! That aside, I enjoyed this event. I'm usually a bit of a turtle when it comes to the forums (I tend hide more often than not), but it was super nice to participate and fool around with the community.
I definitely agree with some people here about making the event longer next time, specially if it's around the holidays! I myself also got busy with Halloween stuff and missed being vaccinated (I wasn't hiding, I promise).
If that's the future of the forums I do like the formatting, it looked clean and nice. Though I do think an option to change colours and/or have animation as a changeable option would make it more pleasant for everyone. c:
Thanks staff and everyone who participated, it was fun! I'll be looking forward to Aymas.

All in all it was definitely fun and something that even those who have social anxiety can have some participation.
I do agree that the objectives of the game could have been clearer but I look forward to the next event.

The event was overwhelming and confusing, and not at all intuitive to me. I posted twice and didn't get responses to either post, never saw a notification saying if I'd been bit or gooed on or however it was split in the beginning, and frankly gave up on it as there was no way to read 10+ pages of posts just to find there was no sense in any of the posts. They all seemed like spam posts and the whole thing was just very frustrating for me.

I hated it. I suffer anxiety & other mental issues so just not understanding put me off, without the stress of having to make inane posts for no apparent reason. I did not participate & will not in future. Penalising those with anxiety & social issues is unfair in my mind.

I found it confusing and couldn't understand the forums i was directed to? Not great with change maybe some sort of guide? A lot of players had fun but I couldn't figure out how to participate

Having read through all the pages of the comments up to here, I can safely say that I am very glad I did not participate, as I feel that it would have ruined my overall Aywas experience, and I surely don't want that~
Hope staff will take everything into consideration for future events to avoid these issues.
