What's the word? I enjoy it every year and we are now in the last week of October and I haven't seen anything about it. Someone had to ask sometime, so it might as well be me. Where's the Evil Twin? Scared?

I see an ominous message out there. why does Halloween always come at the time when I need to be working 14-hour days, and have neither time nor energy to solve puzzles? Enjoy it, those who can!

He's like the gum that gets stuck under your shoe. Annoying, and time-consuming to get rid of, but manageable, in the end.

Oh yeah:

I hope the boss remembers what she put on there as a blurb before the evil twin got loose. smile

Every year on FT there's a special Halloween challenge which, if you complete it, will result in the award of a badgelet. The Challenge is nothing like anything else on FT although it does involve the completion of quizzes, and daily/hourly games, and a few other things like posting messages or doing things at particular times or in a particular order - all sorts. The weird and wonderful combination of tasks and what to look out for (e.g. sometimes images change, lights flash on or off, etc) varies from year to year, It all depends on what crosses Wesley's tortured brain.

One thing that sets the Halloween Challenge apart is that players can collaborate to get all the different parts and the badgelet (which may have different tiers). Players can collaborate in their teams and/or in a special thread on the General Chatboard. It's great fun and players seem to like it a lot.

If you join in (everyone is welcome, and you can get lots of hints on the Chatboard when it starts) just be careful if you encounter someone known as the Evil Twin. He stops people giving too much away and if he could he'd keep all the badgelets to himself. A lot of people think he's Wesley's twin, and some think he spends most of the year locked in the Cat People team dungeon but others say they've heard him clanking in other places. Anyway, he's evil, and mean, and grouchy so beware!

Advance warning regarding chapter 4:

Please don't do anything that might annoy the editors.

There is a way you might misunderstand a clue that might tempt you to aggravate an editor.

Don't do it.

If you are right, you will get a success message at the last step before you can accidentally annoy anyone. If you think you are owed one and don't see it, you are NOT correct.

Please spread the word across your teams. Thanks!
