--Yes. Before http://iamscott.net/1288378689657.html . After http://iamscott.net/1288378675296.html. From testing, it also appears zombies cannot defile graffiti on billboards, just the normal graffiti at those locations. [[User:Hyperion|Hyperion]] 20:05, 29 October 2010 (BST)

To be done

Still needing to be done is past and current events (I've asked on the Halloween hootenanny page for them to write the description of theirs). Also previous years' changes. I couldn't find anything that happened in 2005 on a surface examination.

Cheers! --xensyriaT 22:56, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

we will get right on writing up the history of our event.--'BPTmz 22:59, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

There's also the questions of Candy and Costume stores without the shopping and bargain hunting skills, or in an unpowererd, ransacked or ruined mall... But again, it's a minor question... --xensyriaT 07:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Fog

I think fog article should be merged with this --~~~~ [talk] 14:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

The only problem with this article, which would affect the fog merge (which I otherwise support) is that when I grouped it by year, then where would the content go? It would have to go in both and should the content in them be the same (redundancy) or different (misleading or at least messy). I guess that if this page is re-ordered by -things- first (fog, candy, etc.) and then by year (specifying which of these things applied, and then as sub sections any events that took place). Any differences in implementation of the -things- could be talked about under that thing's sub section rather than in the main article. I'll give this a shot maybe --xensyriaT 15:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
O'll give it a shot too when my mind would be less clouded --~~~~ [talk] 16:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Done - merged fog and reordered. I think that we've almost sorted this Halloween now ;) I'm just gunna check iWitness for other malls and then add redirects from Stale candy and Costume Store (I've already done it to Fog, and I can't see why it's good to keep them as they are any more ;). I'm also kicking myself for not checking the flavour text for binoculars this year - and I don't think that iWitness has any. Good teamwork tho! :) --xensyriaT 17:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

No stores anymore - 24 hours

There are neither a candy nor costume stores left at least in Caiger and presumably in all other malls. IMHO they were present only for 24 hours. Thus in lists where it says that "mall is known not to have ... store" - can we be sure that there really was no such store or that was just checked too late?.. --~~~~ [talk] 19:42, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, I personally checked Nichols and Lumber, and they both had one but not the other. I had a character near Pole, but didn't know about the stores until after I'd spent most of his AP, so didn't have a chance to confirm/deny before Hallowe'en was over. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾ 21:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah - I guess that it's too late. I've gone through all of the relevant iWitness records now too (unless someone added it ages after loading) and so I guess that we'll just have to say unknown. Maybe it'll be back next year... we'll see - fog was, and we can check them next year if needs be. Tompson's almost certainly lost coz it was in zed hands through the whole day. Still - we did a good job without preparation... one thing is that the fog image is still hosted - see [1] - also last year it was reported that mag.cgi?knock still worked for a while after the event was over. From iWitness I have worked out that it probably lasted 9:40 AM GMT on the 31st of Oct to 9:40 AM GMT on the 1st of Nov, and I've added that to the year's description along with the message that it gave about the fog coming down on malton. --xensyriaT 21:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Infinite pumpkins?

I was grabbin g a few pumpkins earlier, and noticed that I had gone well over 100% encumbrance. Further searches demontrated I could still grab more. I stopped once I had six or so pumpkins and 210% percent encumbrance. During this whole time, I never recieved an over-encumbered message. Anyone else experience something similar?--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 00:22, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Can we give pumpkins to people?-- SA 00:33, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Some quick experimenting shows that I am unable to pick up anything else with the six pumpkins. Apparently the pumpkins just ignore encumbrance when you pick them up, while still adding to it.--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 01:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
