Costume Contest and Party! (Excalibur World)

Do you feel it in the air? The minions of darkness stir and the woods are playing host to their revival. In other words, Halloween is just around the corner and the Gridania Squatters are hosting a Halloween Costume Party! Want to come out in costume and have a spooky time with the squatters? We’ll be having a Costume contest, a Short story competition, mini-games with mini-on prizes (Rumor has it that Gestahl and the Mandragora gang will be making an appearance along with other rare minions). The Costume contest winner will take home no less than 2 million gil plus their share of the participation fees.

In other words, the more people that come the more people that participate, the more prizes for everyone! So if you feel like it, bring the friends, bring the family, bring a date. But whatever you do, don’t forget the date.

Friday October 30th, 2015 at 6:00 pm PST (US and Canada) in the Haukke Manor courtyard. We are charging 50k to participate in the games and costume contest. This also covers the short story contest so if you plan on attending don’t worry about a separate charge for each event. All proceeds will be split between the winners and spent on prizes for mini games. For the costume contest (The main event) 1st place takes 40% of the total pot, 20% to 2nd and 10% to 3rd. The winner will take home at least 2 million gil plus a rare minion as well as their share of the fees guaranteed by the event hosts! For questions and contest entry purchases, please contact Echo Miles in game between the hours of 8:30 am to 8:30 pm PST. Also you may contact Arawn Oakenleif or Hyur Cules. Disclaimer: only the people listed are authorized to accept gill for this event so don’t give your hard earned gil to strangers!https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.n...21047716_o.jpg

Sounds like a spooktacular time!

Cant wait ^^

How fun! I wish I was on Excalibur so I could attend!

Maybe Odin will pop during the party XD. That would be fantastic!

Feel free to share my post everyone is invited ^^

The party will be held at Haukke Manor. If you want to help or join in with some games or entertainment, message Echo Miles, Arawn Oakenleif or myself before the date. Let's make this an awsome event!

Charging for an in game party lol No thanks. If you're doing it for fun then do it for fun and not include gil into the equation. On top of that you can't stop randoms from going in there and messing with w/e your event is.

Never understood base cost charges in celebrations, feels like Chinese weddings where they expect you to pay them money to attend to celebrate THEIR wedding.

Go American, shout everyone, get wasted ;)

No one but winners in contests will be keeping any gil. In fact many generous ppl have donated a considerable amount of gil for prizes. And feel free to show up and mess with w/e. :) it's an open and friendly event.

The more people that attend and pay 50k (Yes, I think everyone can afford 50k... of course my view of 50k might be skewed a bit) makes the rewards better.

The minions that I've donated are already worth over 3.5 million gil... so I think 50k is... well, sort of reasonable. We're not keeping any of the gil, the gil doesn't go to pay us back for our donations. It goes directly into the event to get things for people attending. By the time the event rolls around I may have donated 10 mil or more in minions and prizes for the event... That's the equivalent of 200 people attending!

^^b But feel free to show up, we'd love to have you there, if you want to win prizes the 50k is necessary to help. Though, if some kind hearted people were to help supply rewards for contests and trick or treating, the whole point of the entry fee might be moot. Below are some of the minions I'm donating.
