Welcome to A-U's 6th Annual Hallowfest!




The What?
The Hallowfest is a time where we as members gather together in order for someone to kill us all off for a spooky, role-play murder mystery in a setting that only Halloween can bring! One of the guests (or maybe more? You never know!) is a psychotic murderer who is killing everyone off while leaving bizarre and cryptic clues. It's all fun and games until someone experiences death by Twilight books. Who is doing the dastardly deeds? Only you can uncover it!

Cool! When is it?
Sunday, October 21st through Wednesday, October 31st.

Where does it happen?
Right here in the Club Section! Locations for the Hallowfest in the past have been anywhere from spooky mansions to luxury trains. Where might this one be? Join to find out!

Who can join?
You! Even if you don't do role-playing on a regular basis, you're still invited to be a guest on this fantastic and completely safe getaway! All you need to do is fill out and send in your ID Card. All members' ID Cards will be listed on the first page of the Hallowfest role-play post. This will be a profile from which guests can derive clues. (See below for the form.) You can choose whether or not you want to come as a character or in disguise. (However, if you do assume a disgues, you must include real information on your ID Card. For example, if you say you are going as Loki, you can't list your favorite movies only as Thor and The Avengers. You need to give some actual info about yourself.)


Your fabulous and lovely hosts this year are Taurquende and Nurrantiel Mashiara. They are obviously caring and kind people and have no intention whatsoever of seeing any horrid murders like past years.

How, erm, does it work?
The Hallowfest starts as a general role-play: you arrive, meet everyone, and get settled in. There will be some various activities you can take part in over the course of the event. Then, suddenly, when all seems peaceful, you just might stumble across a dead body. The guest who is killed will receive a PM letting them know they are dead and what clues they can let you know. You will hear just what happened from the horse's mouth, so to speak, when the guest returns ranked as an "AU Ghost" complete with shiny new stars! The surviving guests will then begin the process of exclaiming "I didn't do it!" and pointing fingers at the rest. Crazy theories will fly off the wall, alliances will be forged, and more deaths will occur. Hey, at least that means more clues! You'll be begging for deaths by the end! At various points in the event guests will gather to officially charge someone, leading to even more crazy theories as you are told that person is innocent (or perhaps even guilty! Hooray!).

--Sign me up!--
To sign up, PM your ID Card to me, Nurrantiel Mashiara, before Saturday, October 20th.
And if you're assuming an alias, please wait until Sunday to change your username.

Sounds fun! XD (so is it like a mafia game with a twist or what?)
It's ok if you're not able to get on for some of the days, right?

It's kinda like Clue or any of your basic Agatha Christie novels. Murder mystery style. And yeah, you don't have to be on every day. It's certainly helpful if you want to keep up with everything, but we understand that life happens outside AU too (what? No! Not allowed!).

*raises hand* I want to do it this year. I think I attempted to last year but had to back out for real life reasons. But I think I will be able to do it this year! My first Hallowfest!

This is probably a stupid question... but does the murderer know they're the murderer? Do they get a pm saying "you're the murderer. go kill people" or what?

^ Oh, yes. (Though in past years some clues have been so convincing about one person that even they themselves start to wonder if they're the murder. ) Nurr and I will pick out a murderer, and they'll tell us as they kill people so that we can stumble upon the bodies.

The victims will also get a special PM telling them how they died and the clues they found so they can come back as a ghost and tell us all!

Ok. XD

So what do the ghosts do? After they get killed. Do they go around haunting people, or just vanish?

Ghosts are still a part of the event, so they can do pretty much whatever they like.



Don't forget to send me your ID's!

I'll get my id in asap. But one question.. if we're using an alias, should we put our characters interests or own actual ones?

You can put the character's interests, but you need to have some of your own in there.
