What is a Makoatl?
A Makoatl is a terrestrial shark-dragon hybrid recently discovered
off the coast of the Greenland sea. They have the powerful tail
and jaws of a shark, with the body and (occasional) horns of a dragon.
They usually have manes, and are covered in thick coats of fur-
adapted to keeping out the cold in their native habitat.
They live on a diet of mainly meat and fish, and are known to be vicious
hunters! Despite this attitude toward their prey, however, they
are very protective and mothering to their offspring,
as well as to each other the majority of the time.

Welcome to this years Makoatl Halloween Event!

I was planning on using the fanforum but I'm better at CS currently lD I'm so sorry-
We'll be hosting a variety of games here on this thread.
They will go on between now and Halloween [October 31]

Welcome to bobbing for apples!
A bucket full of colorful apples and water sits in front of one of the stands.
It seems curious, what could it be?


[Image courtesy of Juliette]

"Here we have bobbing for apples!
All you gotta do is hold your breath, open your mouth, and grab an apple from the bucket.
There are little prize stickers on the bottom, so when you get an apple you get a prize!
Simple enough of a game.

Now, lets play!"

--------------------------------------------------------
How the Game Works
--------------------------------------------------------


At random times, a post with set of 15 pixel apples on this thread [Like how it's pictured above]
You will choose one and put the image on the form posted below
Every time one apple is chosen I will remove it from the list
Each apple will have a prize associated with it, that only I know about
The prizes will change every time the apples are put out


--------------------------------------------------------
Rules
--------------------------------------------------------

-You MUST fill out the form below in order to be qualified for a prize-

-You may only claim 1 apple a day; even if multiple rounds are posted in a day-
**This allows others the chance to play as well**

-I will announce when a new day starts-
**If you post twice in the same day before I post with a "new day" you will not have a chance to claim during that new day**

-No fighting/Arguing; Be kind to everyone-
**If there is fighting over anything you will be kicked from the game for one day, if it occurs again then you'll be kicked from Bobbing for Apples for the rest of the event**

Welcome to the Wheel of Fate

A wheel sits in front of one of the stands
The wheel calls to you, begging you to take a spin, will you?

"Step right up, step right up!
You want to test your luck? See what you have in store today? Well you've come to the right place!

Spin the wheel at a price,
Knowing your fate doesn't come cheap you know. Takes a lot to find out.
-What? You say it's just spinning a wheel? Nonsense, there's much more to it than that. Don't be silly-
Anyway, you must make...A SACRIFICE.

Come up and spin the wheel of fate and find out your destiny for today!"

Welcome to Trick-or-Treating

- The Lights Are ON-

Welcome to the Trick-or-Treating Event!
We're glad to have you here, although there are some pre-requisites to being able to participate in this game
So please make sure you read over everything below, failure to read the rules will result in you being skipped in the game.

--------------------------------------------------------
How the Game Works
--------------------------------------------------------

In this game you'll be taking your mako "Door to door" through PM's. You will be able to take your makoatls to each staff's CS inbox to get a trick or a treat. The staff will have a list of goodies and not so good things and will roll a die each time someone comes up to their door. Whatever number they roll will correspond to their list of things and will give you a treat or a trick based on what it is.

--------------------------------------------------------
Rules
--------------------------------------------------------

To play you MUST have a dressed up Makoatl
- Please go to the Costume Contest thread to dress up your makoatl for this game -
-Non owners can play too! You just need to go above and dress up the Halloween mascot mako to participate-

--You MUST fill out the form completely--

--You can only go to each staff ONCE--
**Each staff will have open/closed days to keep a flood of messages from happening all at once**

--When attending a staff member's door please use the PM title--
**Failure to do this may result in you getting lost in the dark rather than at someone's door**

--Do not harass staff about what you get--
**The name implies there are tricks as well as treats, if you get tricked it's just part of the game**

--Items may NOT be added to your account right away--
**The staff and myself are trying to make this event work; but it's hard to get PM's for each person every day
I will note when the bank has been updated for Trick-or-Treating**


--------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the Event Store!

The sign says Open!
The shelves are stocked and there's a notice on the sign:

We will close Monday November 3rd for the season

--------------------------------------------------------
How the store works
--------------------------------------------------------
Once a week, the games will close and the store will open up for trade ins!
You can trade in your tokens and transfer your items to the normal Makoatl bank for use.

Only the items BELOW are available to trade tokens in for!
At the very end of the event I will open a special store for any remaining tokens and etc

--------------------------------------------------------
Rules
--------------------------------------------------------

-You must fill out the form COMPLETELY in order to receive any items-
**This is for me, that way I can keep track with all information and get it sorted quickly and easily**

-There is stock on the items-
**Don't worry, we will restock each time we open per week!**

-Do NOT fight over items-
**If you don't get what you want, don't argue with anyone over it**

-Where it says price on each item: You need however many of each Token it states-
**For Example: An item says 10 Sweedish Fish; 10 Bats; 10 Chocolate Squares; 10 Candy corn
You would need 10 of each. This goes for whatever each number is
Sorry for the miscommunication.**

-In the form where it says Total Price it means if you buy more than one item-
**For example - You buy two items in total. The total price would be the stated prices combined.
[So 7 Fish; 3 Bats; 4 Squares; 5 Candycorn for one item then + 6 Fish; 7 bats; 4 Squares; 6 Candy corn
For the TOTAL PRICE of 13 Fish; 10 Bats; 8 Squares; 11 Candy corn

IF you only buy the first one
Then your total price would be 7 Fish; 3 Bats; 4 Squares; 5 Candycorn**

--------------------------------------------------------
Form
--------------------------------------------------------

-Please PM me 1 Form a week when the store is OPEN-
-Put "Halloween Store" as the title of the PM so it goes to the right place-
