MALOWEEN✟MANSION Brought to you by Kabo-chan Beware the MALoween✟Mansion... The dreadful place where residents trick you and make you dance for treats. It only appears once a year... inviting, taunting brave souls with its evil allure. Enter at your own risk! Once in, you cannot escape without collecting enough candy... There are four days until Halloween and MAL is holding another community event to get you all in the spirit~!! The goal of the event is simple: Collect as much candy as you can! MALoween✟Mansion has a number of main rooms which belong to different mansion residents. These inhabitants will give you one piece of their favourite candy – in exchange for a trick. You must collect eight unique candy pieces to safely escape the mansion with your candy hoard and complete MALoween. However, there's no time for sleeping! Various main rooms will be opened and locked each day. The minimum length a main room will remain unlocked for is 24 hours, so be sure to take a look around the mansion at least once a day! For our challenge-seeking daredevils, it doesn't end there. Some resident rooms will contain bonus candy. Secret rooms will also appear periodically throughout the mansion, giving users a chance to compete for bonus candy to add to their stash. These bonus candy pieces cannot be used as main candy. Beware: secret rooms are open for very short times and some only give out a single piece of candy to the first correct winner. We suggest you relax in one of our discussion rooms and check the club forum regularly if you'd like more candy! On Nov 2nd, the mansion will return to its hiding place for another year. We will then list who made it out of the mansion alive – and how much candy they managed to collect on their way out. We'll also include the poor souls still trapped who almost made it! Event Timeline Now – Sunday, Nov 2nd, 23:59 PST You will want to participate during these dates! If you have any questions about the general workings of the event (not specific rooms), please post in this thread. I'm sure that one of our lovely mansion residents will be kind enough to help :) Happy Halloween~ Questions? |

Percutient said: I believe the rooms are going to be in the mansion/club they linked to in the first post.What do you mean by room? I have no idea what that is. Someone link these "rooms" please or tell me how to open/walk in to one. |
     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| The "rooms" are likely club threads that will be opened and locked/deleted at random times. The link to the club is in the OP. |
orithyea said: Ranoom said: Each room has its own set of rules, so it will depend on that.How do you play? Do you just post in the opened room and ask for candy? In any case, be there or be square, brave ones~ Ah ok. So i have to do what that room asks to get the candy ok. Thanks! Well i hope im not asleep when the room opens. |
Ranoom said: The main events are up for at least 24 hours, so you'll hopefully have some time for them! |

| Mm, this looks like fun~ |
 |
| I hope everyone has fun while participating in the event ^^! |
| 2spooky4me |
 |
| dont call me stupid :/ OT: looks complicated, whatever aint that gonna stop me from playing |
 |
| I'll try to try! I'm just a little confused but I feel like I'll understand later. The event is said to have started already, but I'm not sure if that means that a main room's already open or not.;; I'm looking around but I don't really see anything open yet...? Maybe I'm missing something.;; I'm interested in knowing what the "tricks" are going to be though! ouo |
| It never ceases to amaze me just how perfect the timing is of these announcements. They are made just at the time I go to sleep, giving me a rather slow start. Not like I mind being a late bloomer, but it just reminds me on other things like ORAS releasing a week after for Europe, while it's a set date everywhere else in the world. Regardless, I just hope you include that in the event. The OP states that the rooms are open at least 24 hours, so I hope you will extend the first one a bit more. I don't wanna miss on the candy! >:D Erh-em. It got me a bit fired up since this looks like a truly freaking awesome event. Let's go, and remember... |
| Good luck everyone! :D @Subpyro: Well there will always new rooms open when many people are sleeping or away, but you should still have enough time for every room if you check the mansion regularly ;) |
 |
| >not melloween this is a travesty |
| Eh what is this all abut again, well doesn't really matter I'll participate though |
 |
NTAD said: Kind of but not really. More like a collage of different games and challenges. Some may have scavenger hunt elements, but variety is more the key here.Kin-chan, is this like a scavenger hunt? |
| I've misread this as Melloween and I was happy for a sec. |
 |
ThisNameSucks said: I've misread this as Melloween and I was happy for a sec. Don't go throwing it away just yet. I highly recommend participating in this year's halloween event. The sole reason are the excellent riddles. If you like those in general, you'll have lots of fun. |
| If there is time for these pointless events, why not spend it actually improving this site? or picking more mods, since the current staff seem to be inactive. |
 |
| Indeed. |
|
| You may find them pointless but not everyone does. Community events are a fun way to bring the community (and staff) together and that is also "improving" the site in a way. If you don't want to participate, that's okay; however, they do have their merit. |
| This sounds like fun but time consuming. So many events, good luck to everyone :) |
Feel free to add me to your friend list! |
| Technically, if anyone wants to start participating in the event right now with the goal of escaping the mansion, that's impossible. Four out of eleven main rooms have already disappeared, and eight main candies are needed to escape the mansion successfully. Naturally, you can still participate, but that one imaginary goal cannot be reached anymore. |
Subpyro said: Technically, if anyone wants to start participating in the event right now with the goal of escaping the mansion, that's impossible. Is that how time works? I had no idea. But don't fret! Anyone who's late to the event and won't make it out alive will be employed by us as ghost or undead for next year's event. :D [Edit]: Sometimes, time plays a greater role in the community event and sometimes it doesn't.

Many candies have been given and a few brave souls managed to escape before the mansion slipped into the fog... ...we have finally reached the conclusion! First of all, A BIG THANK YOU to all of our MALoween✟Mansion challengers! In the end, 70 users joined the mansion, but only 39 attempted to brave the evil that laid within... I enjoyed watching all of you participate in the threads, and the success of these events are always possible thanks to each and every one of you. Second of all, please take the time to give A BIG THANK YOU to Snowical, who did most of the organising and planning of the event while I was away (and put up with my meddling when I was able to help out). Please also thank Maffy for all of her help with the bonus events, and all of the mods who took the time to create and run their own rooms: _Ghost_, julyan, LastChapter, Luna_, Naruleach, opernlied, orithyea, Snaxia, Touka and Zelot. Without all of their creativity and hard work, this event would not have happened. Without further ado, here is the final CANDY TALLY!  ✞ Only 10 users managed to collect enough candy to leave the mansion. ✝ The remaining 29 users will be trapped at the mercy of the mansion residents for the next year~ ✟ Of these 10 escapees, only 2 users managed to get candy from all main rooms! Congrats! We hope to see you all – and even more challengers – next year! Edit: Typos are evil. And while I'm here, look forward to Secret Santa coming soon! |

cyruz said: Don't eat it all at once, kids! You can't tell me what to do! >:D Thanks for preparing the event and all of those who participated for making it fierce. It was a blast and it certainly has set that bar high now, so let's see if the Secret Santa can catch up with the awesomeness~ If you didn't manage to escape, you can apply to be my personal ghost... if you want, of course~ ... *looks at Lime* |
hehe cleverrr |
| Thanks so much for this event! I was a quitter before this event began, but a lot of the rooms made me encourage myself to just keep thinking instead of giving up. That's not something I expected to take away from this event at all. And thanks to any fellow participants! I gained a lot of hope when I'd see users having trouble but eventually solving the riddles. If I hadn't seen that, I probably would have given up at the first room-- which I was very close to doing. So thank you everyone; mods, participants, and all! :'D |
| Congrats to all the people who were able to escape! Good luck to the ones who are still trapped... Thank you to all the mods who were contributing to the event with their rooms, the bonus events, their ideas or other things! And also thank you to Kineta who helped whenever it was possible for her. Without her help this event wouldn't have been like it was, so a big thank you♥! |
|
| Super cool event. I'm escaping the mansion next year (Unless the easter bunny wants to hold a similar event in the same mansion, nudge nudge wink wink) |
 |
| Wait, what? I got that close? SONOFABI Oh well, it certainly works better for the purposes of the narrative about this event that I have inside my head (and which might exit the said place sooner or later...) It was a great fun, this whole thing. Would participate again. |
 |
| We need a feedback topic, because I don't want to go through certain rooms again next year, some rooms were awesome and others were just more frustrating than fun. |
| [00:39] (Derek) Laep i'll just input that you are too good to help me with my own sign |
| For now, I think you could give feedback on the event here. |
| Late reply, but... |
