A howling wind has emerged from nowhere in this universe and with it comes the unmistakable stench of pure, unadulterated evil.

As suspected before, the adversary has chosen to attack via the profile pages. If you look at the achievement badges of some players, you might just notice that someth...

CRASH!

Uh oh. That doesn't sound good at all.

Head to the Tower of Challenges immediately for a briefing and then report to Halloween Central (the link is over there). Quick!

I've encountered one slight problem.

I noted the following advice in the rules:

"Once you have completed and claimed a task, it cannot be lost. Do however make sure to take a good look at each completion message because it may contain a vital clue and you will see that message only once - there is no way to retrieve it once you move away."

I completed Tasks 1 and 2, and made notes accordingly.

The trouble is, I seem to have completed Task 4 by accident, and never even saw the completion message! I still don't know what it was...

If it really is vital, could someone DM me with the necessary info that I should have saved!

Sent to you, stedman.

I don't know how I completed it either. I went to check on what Chapter 3 said and was surprised to find out I had completed Chapter 4.

Oh never mind. That's what the profile thing was about, eh? I'm slow.

Thanks to all concerned for this years challenge. It was a great idea to wait for 50 winners at each level as it made it last a bit longer, waiting for new chapters to open.

Is there a cut off date known as yet so I can advise the rest of my team?

Yes, this was the most fun part of it, everyone across the site helping others. I hope it happens this way every year!

Thanks, Wes and Terry, for another fun challenge. We appreciate the hours of your time that must have gone into it.

And thanks also to my smarty-pants teammates for dragging some of us (i.e., me) along for the ride. You know who you are!

This is confusing. The final chapter comes before all the others?
Tier 1 - Complete the final chapter of the halloween challenge.

Should it say FIRST?
Tier 1 - Complete the first chapter of the halloween challenge?
