Well, hello Off-topic!
Do you remember last year's activity around the Celebrity Halloween Costumes? This year we wanted to do a type of scavenger hunt, but you obviously have other things like the pumpkin carving and a scary book activity coming as well. Today I wanted to describe our plans for the Off-Topic versus System Wars candy competition to get you ready for Halloween day.
On Halloween, in the wee hours of the morning, the candy competition between Off-Topic and System Wars will begin. Here's some things worth noting on when it begins in the wee hours on Monday October 31st!
Off-Topc will be given a scavenger list of candies to find across multiple Off-topic forum posters profiles.
System Wars will also be given a completely different list of candies to find across System Wars forum posters profiles.
Staff will be sneaky by placing these candy images on each forum posters profiles, but the idea here is to allow all of you to check your fellow OT posters' profiles to find the scavenger list together and share the list of forum poster usernames to match up with the candy list. This does mean you should take a side though. If you'll be playing for TEAM OFF-TOPIC, work with them as a team rather than trying to play both sides!
The race against your opponent (System Wars) will begin on Halloween, and there are two ways to win.
1) The forum that gets the complete username list posted first wins.
2) If both forums are struggling to get the list and the timer runs out by the deadline on November 1 at 11:59pm PT, the forum with the most collected usernames will win.
Sound exciting enough? Well, if Off-Topic wins, you'll also receive a forum themed emblem saying that you're the champion of the Halloween candies competition.
