Scream Fortress is upon us, which means it's time to get our new Halloween event rolling! This is a new idea I'm testing out; it's pretty different from our other events. I'm hoping it'll turn out well!

Event Summary

In this event, there will be two groups of people: "houses" and "trick-or-treaters". In essence, "houses" will be the gift givers. Then, "trick-or-treaters" will add the "houses" on Steam, say "trick or treat", and get an item. "Houses" may close at any time, once they run out of items to give.

There will be a megathread posted on Halloween, where you can check to see what "houses" are currently open. People who have signed up as "houses" must comment on this thread to indicate that they are open. Once they close, they will edit their comment to indicate as such.

Event Rules

• You may only hit each house once.
• Houses are allowed to trick-or-treat.
• You may only trick-or-treat on the 31st, GMT -4.

There is no item value requirement.

How to Sign Up

To sign up as a "house", comment on this thread before the end of the 30th, GMT -4. Trick-or-treaters do not need to sign up.

Badges Distributed

All "houses" that follow through will receive the Philanthropist's Indulgence. You must provide proof of having given away at least one item during the event in the megathread.

"Trick-or-treaters" will receive no badges unless they are also a "house".

How to Participate

To participate as a "house", simply give an item/s to people who add you on the 31st, GMT-4, and say "trick or treat".

To participate as a "trick-or-treater", look through the megathread that will be posted on the 31st, GMT -4, for open houses. Navigate to their Steam profile that will either be in their flair, or in their comment, add them, and say "trick or treat!"

Your Job as a House

Your obligations as a "house" include:

• You must accept friend requests on the 31st.
• You must post and update your open/close status on the megathread that will be posted on the 31st, GMT -4.
• You must follow through with what you say you will do.
• You must provide proof of having given away at least one gift in the megathread. Provide the proof in your comment in the megathread.
• You must have your steam profile URL in your flair, or provide it in your comment on the megathread.

As a "house", you can:

• Open/close your gifting times at any point in the day.
• Open/close your gifting times any number of times.
• Deny any trick-or-treater, if you wish.
• Trick-or-treat at other "houses".

Your Job as a Trick-Or-Treater

As a "trick-or-treater", you have no obligations. Just follow the rules.

Be sure to say "trick or treat!" when messaging any "house" you've added!

You may check the megathread that will be posted on the 31st, GMT -4, for "houses" that are opened. Please do not harass houses that have closed.
