 (Psst. Click the pic for some mood music.) Ah, Halloween. One of the two times a year it's socially acceptable to dress up in weird costumes and wander the streets looking for handouts. But let's be real here: none of you are doing that. You're all staying home at your computers, aren't you? Buncha NEETs. Fortunately for you antisocial types we've prepared some festivities. Now I know some of you guys'd rather play video games than party games but hear me out. You can enter these games to win ~ＦＡＢＵＬＯＵＳ ＰＲＩＺＥＳ~ including and entirely limited to a free avatar change in exchange for your victory. However, these games are open for a limited time only. When the clock strikes midnight on Sunday, November 1st (PST), the festivities will end, so you've only today and tomorrow. Trapped on a message board removed from civilization for two days. Anything could happen. Treasure Hunt Behold, a mere fraction of the wealth granted to me by the Golden Witch Beatrice. Even this is more gold than any reasonable man could spend in one's lifetime. That's why I've decided to divvy up my remaining fortune among three secret locations scattered across the subforum. Although identical at a glance, each cache has been marked with a unique URL which only I recognize. Find them, post them, and be considered my inheritor. All of you are playing this one, whether you realize it or not. The first three of you to approach me with your findings will each be rewarded with an avatar of your choice. But beware! I know the right URLs. Try to fool me with some re-uploaded gold, and your punishment will be a full day's probation! Unlike the other games we'll be playing, there won't be a dedicated thread for this one. If you find the gold, simply post it in the thread where you found it. If the URL checks out, you will be named victorious. Bobbing For Apples Everybody knows this one. Choose at random for your chance to win, but penalties await for those who fall shy. Bingo Not just for old people anymore, but people with cameras and anime merchandise. Scary Stories Shared 'Round the Campfire Coming soon...?

That's just the sample stash to show you what to look for. You'll want one of the three others I've hidden elsewhere.

~PARTY UPDATE~ Admoon has uncovered one of the hidden caches of gold. The other two remain hidden away. Yes_Cantaloupe was lucky and picked the right apple. Littleorv, Ceramics, and Endorph chose poorly. Erg has claimed victory in Bingo, and has graciously granted his prize to Namtab. We will bob for apples once more tomorrow. The final game of the night will begin very shortly.

~PARTY UPDATE~ The remaining gold sleeps unclaimed. Will it do so for all time? Namtab and NotALizardman were lucky and both picked winners, but NotALizardman passed his prize to Droyer who in turn passed it to NowonSA. In light of Namtab's win, Erg has decided to pass his prize on to Endorph instead. No blackouts in Bingo. Bingo is dead. Long live Bingo. Everyone's scary stories are still awaiting judgment.

If you have won or been gifted an avatar this weekend, you may post here to claim it or PM me. Be sure to include your desired image, user text, and whether or not you want your avatar centered.

Can someone who isn't as fail as me at editing images take out the guy in this and make a transparent av out of Koto? Let me know if the image sucks but I think it should be fine. I know some detail will be lost going from 1080 but I wanna see what it looks like. please and thank you

No problem. I'd prefer to upload all the victory avatars at once, so it'll be a little bit anyway.

I'll come up with something by tomorrow. Since Droyer gave it to me (thanks Droyer!) he (or she) can choose the avatar text if they like, or add in a snippet acknowledging their awesome charity, though I'll also provide some text. I pretty much only post in VEGETA and Rowdy Ringsports, but since this came from VEGETA it'll be an anime av for sure. Also, no joke, I thought that I should've chosen 11 to honor the month of November immediately after I put down 15 to honor the year, and it would've been my next number if 15 hadn't gotten me a probation. Serendipity I guess! If there are issues with resizing the image or gif I choose or my text is too long let me know, I've been trying to find the exact guidelines on that but 125 x 125 pixels and under 30 kb doesn't mean much to me in a vacuum.
