Halloween 2016

Halloween 2016 was celebrated on the day of the real life event, October 31st 2016.

• The following message appeared on the main window:

Happy 9th anniversary, Twilight and Happy Halloween! Oh, one last thing. It looks like a bunch of costumed thugs are up to no good in the streets of Somerset. Can you help?

• All foes had a 29.1 ± 1.9% chance of dropping one of the following items:
  • candy corn
  • fall-colored chocolates‎
  • marshmallow-covered chocolate‎
  • Spider Skitters‎
• The avatar of each hero was changed to one of the following:

• The streets of Somerset was opened and tissue candy bag was added to all foes there with a 19.2 ± 1.6% drop chance.

• If a player had a tissue candy bag in their inventory when looking at a player's profile there'd be the following text below their level:

The lights are on! You could trick-or-treat!

If looking at your own profile:

It's typically considered weird to trick-or-treat at your own house.

If looking at a profile from an account that shared the same IP as yours:

This looks suspiciously like your house. Trick-or-treating here would be weird.

If looking at a profile from an account that didn't login during October 2015:

<player>'s hideout doesn't have the light on, so trick-or-treating is probably out.

If looking at a profile from an account that has already been trick-or-treated:

You trick-or-treated from <player> this year and already got some delicious candy. You make a note to drop back by next year.

• When you click on trick or treat, depending on the class of the profile you're browsing, you'll get the following:

Elemental

You ring the doorbell on <player>'s hideout and get a packet of electro-pops! They're like a thunderstorm on your tongue!

You got an item: electro-pops

Psion

You ring the doorbell on <player>'s hideout and get nothing! Absolutely nothing! Well, it looks like nothing... <player> assures you it's delicious candy.

You got an item: invisible candy

Gadgeteer

You ring the doorbell on <player>'s hideout and get a candy brick. Well, one step towards building a tiny candy house.

You got an item: candy brick

Naturalist

You ring the doorbell on <player>'s hideout and get some puppy chow! Well, it's quite a bit heartier and entirely more feral than normal puppy chow.

You got an item: wolf pup chow

• A section was added to the "Other Notes" page of the journal listing "Trick or Treat" with the following line:

You had a mob of X trick-or-treaters this year. You had a mob of Y trick-or-treaters last year. You had a mob of Z trick-or-treaters in 2013.
