<center>Welcome to Arwen-Undomiel Forum’s Third Annual
HALLOWFEST
Are you ready to be scared? ooooohh.
Let's get this show on the road, shall we?</center>
The What : Per tradition, we are returning for our third year of the Hallowfest, which is a two week long event hosted by the Club section of the Arwen-Undomiel.com forum to celebrating an excitingly scary holiday! Halloween! It is basically a <b>roleplay</b> of guests (members) who have been cordially invited to spend their Halloween holiday at an ever hauntingly charming and mysterious mansion <i>all for free</i>, but is there still a price to be paid?
Gasp, what's this, Kit?!
People keep showing up dead?! What's this mess! That's terrible!
So, clearly, this being the third year and all, we had two previous killers but for now just forget that they were revealed and play along... because I don't think Nurrantiel or FRODOFAN are gonna be the killers again... or will they. -eyebrow waggle OF DOOM-
Bring it on, you ghouls.
The When : This event will be officially be held from October 17th thru October 31st in the year AD 2009. External, non-roleplayed events will coincide these dates, even if previously posted before the start of the event. Will you still be alive to see the end?
The Where : Because it is sponsored by the Club Section, it will be hosted in the Club Section. All roleplayed threads will be held there. Non-roleplayed threads, such as the contest information and voting will be held in the Contest Section, graciously provided by the awesome members of the forum. Please stay tuned to what the events will be---they should be posted up shortly!
The Who : That’s all up to you guys! Are you interested in participating? If you’re not sure what to expect, don’t worry. You have TWO WEEKS to adjust, but feel free to find an ‘experienced’ Hallowfester to shadow (because they're eager to get back into the game this year!). The Hallowfest would like participants to produce an alias, or an undercover persona as it is a Halloween event. <I>This is entirely optional as it is hard to customarily change your rank stars and title.</I> But if you do wish to mask yourself: change your avatar and signature. Also, if you do intend on using an alias, <b>please PM me with your alias</b> so that we (as in Kit) can keep track of everyone.
<b><u>All participating members are required to pm to me a brief profile of themselves, no falsehoods</u></b>. This will be posted at the start of the event so that clues can be made off of them and members can study and guess more efficiently. Sum up your personality, your favorite things and your quirks, but do not allude to everything as to give away your identity should you choose to go with an alias.
If you do go in a full alias, please still list some interests that you have as YOU, not the character that you assume.

There will be a ‘guest’ list compiled during the week before the event starts. If you ‘RSVP’d but did not see your name on the list, make sure it gets there! It is during this pre-event trial that I will choose a member to work alongside as the ‘killer’. This could be anyone who signs up to participate, moderator or not. If you’re interested, please post a reply in this thread stating so! The more, the (hopefully) merrier, or in this case, bloodier! [insert evil cackle here]
The number of members who will be killed will partially depend on how many guests show sign up.
The How : During the two weeks, guests will come and go as with a regular roleplay, but there will be sudden deaths to some members. Members who have died will be given a ‘ghost status’ meaning their stars will be changed to silver and their rank will say “Ghost”. After a member dies, they will be pm’d a clue to their murder that they may reveal to the rest of the party as a ghost.
Outside the ghost, clues will be found and stated by three neutral parties, the host, the maid, and the butler. I (Kit), the host, cannot be the murderer, nor can my maid or my butler.

Participating members are allowed FOUR guesses to who the murderer may be during the two-week long event. This would require a spokesperson, a leader of the guests, so choose wisely. The spokesperson must make sure the majority of the participating guests agree to accuse a member. A guest will be made to the host and the host will either confirm or deny.
If the guests do guess correctly before Halloween, each will receive a “I solved the mystery of the 3rd annual Hallowfest” sig-set. If Halloween arrives and they do not guess the killer correctly, the killer will be revealed on Halloween and will be awarded a “I killed ____ people at the 2nd annual Hallowfest and got away with it” sig-set.

Here are the previous year's banners made by Johnny's Fan--since we didn't change the dates or anything, I figure we could re-use these.
Thanks Tar-Dis for making it an animation for those who just can't decide!
