 It's that time of the year again, zCB! Summer is over and Fall is once again upon us. What's so special about Fall, you ask? Halloween, of course! Ghouls, goblins, witches, zombies, and (dare I say?) vampires are all coming out of the darkness, and beginning to claim what is rightfully theres. What fun would it be if the zCB didn't participate in this terrifying holiday? Luckily, our crack squad of moderators have been slaving over a hot, bubbling cauldron for weeks upon weeks to give you the best Halloween event we could possibly offer! All throughout the month of October, we'll have tons of spooky surprises for you all! Prepare to be taken on a trip of chilling fun, terrifying costumes, and all of the joy that is Halloween!BRAAAAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSS Yeah, I know. That was incredibly cheesy.

As promised, we have a lot of fun events for you coming up this October. However, if you're like me, you've never been much for surprises. That's why we're going to list most of the events in this post, so you know what to expect and when to expect it. Since it is the Halloween season, wearing costumes and/or some ghoulish attire is encouraged, but not mandatory. Maybe, if you're lucky, we might recognize your great costume and give you a little reward for putting it all together. But then again, that is just a maybe. Anyways, on to the event lineup!
Our Sinister Surprise
October 4th - October 16th
Yes, we said we didn't like giving out surprises, but some things are best left unsaid. This event is our biggest boom this October, so you should be prepared!
A Terrifying Trivia Contest
October 23rd
I think it goes without saying that this was the most anticipated event, especially by a certain member. You better brush up on your Halloween knowledge, because this trivia event will put your mind and your reflexes to the test! I've heard there's a fantastic prize for the winner, too. ninja
The 2nd Annual Costume Party and Contest!
October 30th
It's only one more day until Halloween, and we're kicking it off with a costume party at the Barton fountain! Just like last year's Costume Ball, this years party will be filled with fun, games, and a prize for the best costume there! I suggest breaking out the Tekteks, because there's going to be a lot of tough competition. Yeah, I know. That was incredibly cheesy.

October Fourth through October Sixteenth
It's time for our main event! Something sinister has been going on behind closed doors, and much to our dismay we have finally found what it is. People are dying left and right, and we need your help to solve their gruesome murders. Can you solve the murders, our leave the inhabitants of the guild to perish?
HOW TO PLAY:
We've hired an expert detective, the zCB Chattercop, to help us solve the case. The Chattercop will send clues to you in the form of gifts, containing a cryptic message and an item (sometimes the item will be relevant, sometimes it won't). It's up to the member who receives the gift to tell the other participants, and it is encouraged, but not mandatory. However, the clues are not limited to gifts! Some chosen members will drop clues, and some may be dropped at certain times by our moderators. It's up to you to pick them out and use them to find the killer!
NOTICE: This is an important one. Sometimes, the clues you receive will be fake. They could be sent by other people, they could be sent by the Chattercop, they could be sent by even the murderer! In a murder, sometimes the clues are irrelevant. Or, we just want to make it harder for you. ninja
HOW TO SOLVE:
This is the hard part. In order to solve the murder, you must do a few things.
Step 1: Wait until the signal. To make everything fair, we will give you a time and day when murder accusations can be made. This gives everyone a fair chance at piecing all the clues together.
Step 2: When the time is here, make a thread titled "Stop with your hands up!".
Step 3: Inside the thread, you must list who the killer is, the killers motive, and the method the killer used to kill EACH of his victims. If you do all of these and have at least 5 murder methods correct, you win!
Step 4: What do you win, exactly? That's a mystery, too. We'll all let you in on it on a later date, but it is SPOOK-tacular. pirate

Event Banners
We're going to do a little something new this time around. Starting now, most events will have event banners. These banners, like the guild banners, are meant to go in signatures to advertise the guild and the event. We figure that guild events are the perfect time to get some fresh blood around the guild, and we know that things around here get boring really fast if we don't have some new faces popping around. So, please, to help us out here, put these banners in your signature to help us advertise. You'd be helping us out a ton!
If you have any event banners you've made that you'd like displayed here, please send them to me in a PM and I'll gladly post them up![url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=20239380][img]http://i55.tinypic.com/2mockeb.png[/img][/url] [url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=20239380][img]http://i51.tinypic.com/rhvjf6.png[/img][/url] [url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=20239380][img]http://i53.tinypic.com/1555cgy.png[/img][/url]

A: Absolutely not! We're a public guild for a reason. 3nodding You're never required to join to participate in any events. heart

A: What do we look like? Surgeons? Sorry, an autopsy would make it too easy! That's what we have clues for.

A: Of course! Not only are user run events allowed, but they're also encouraged. Events are a great way to make new friends and have fun. 3nodding
Q: Who is in charge of the event?
A: There's no particular person who's in charge because all of our moderators put a lot of work in it. If you have a question, feel free to PM any of us and we'll try to get back to you ASAP.
