The Return of the Haunted Carnival: Closing Ceremony

[Giddy]

A huge, massive congrats to all the winners this Halloween event~!
All the entries were amazing, it's great seeing the artistic skills in such a short time for Halloween.

A really enjoyed coming back to the carnival this round, May or may not be because I'm getting into a certain series for some mad reason.

Not only was it fun to show offsome stuff this Halloween, I'm super invested that I got some stuff done like my signature gif in time for Halloween.
I find these events really push me in the positive motivation of my brain haha

Huge congrats to the other staff favorite winners!! I wasn't really expecting any but I'm super happy, I've been staring longingly at the Ancient Lantern for so long now and I'm thrilled I get to bring one home ;w;

The Teal Dragonscale egg sounds super pretty aaaa... overall I'm glad I voted for the Wix Well Tent (crossing my fingers extra hard on the Pale Wix Candy raffle eeee), but I hope the Teal Dragonscale might get released someday!! ;v; I love teal asdgkjdfg

Thank you for hosting the Haunted Carnival for us, staff!! I'm hyped for TBT's upcoming birthday—I can't believe it's already almost here!

Congrats to everyone who won a staff favorite! Thanks staff for hosting, even though I admittedly did not have the time to participate in this event. I'm curious what the presentation will be for the forum's actual birthday. Guess we'll just have to wait and see!

 

[Iris_T]

Congrats to all the fav-winners, so many amazing pieces from so many styles!

And once again thanks to the staff for making this event happen, I had a lot of fun and can't wait for next halloween <3

Congrats to all the staff favourite winners! I want to give another shoutout to all the other Delicious Design nominees as well! Everyone had amazing ideas and the creativity the community has still blows my mind.

I'm so thrilled to see that my Draconic Sea Bass won! It was definitely the entry I put my all into, and sadly ran out of time after that. I had so much fun designing my creature and I loved looking through everyone else's creations. I sadly didn't have the time to write a short story, but I'd love to take a look when I have the time to spare. Kudos to everyone who was able to whip up a story in a week.

I'm also torn on the reveal of the Macabre Tent trunk if I'm being honest. I think getting that staff favourite for my creature means I can actually get exactly 40 coins for a Pumpkin Pie, however the Macabre Tent trunk has more collectibles I would have wanted overall. ;v; Ah well, I hope we can see that trunk return next year. I assumed the Wix Well trunk would have had more collectibles that the Prize Pack recipients voted for, which wasn't wrong, though I had no clue what could have been in the Macabre trunk, so I really just went off of the vibes aesthetically + which activities I enjoyed in each tent overall. ^^'

Thank you staff for hosting another great Halloween event! I'm looking forward to the 20th year anniversary of the forums coming up super soon! I can't wait to see what's in store for us, and I've honestly been breathing a sigh of a relief with the knowledge that it'll be smaller event, because I think both staff and members need a break from all the bigger back-to-back events haha.

Congrats all winners!!! fantastic event, thank you mods!

 

[Dunquixote]

Ah I just saw the shadow kitty and the bloodshot potion was in the other trunk! I am torn on how to feel; I missed out on all the events that all kitty plushies and the bloodshot was in but…I am kinda relieved since it would’ve changed my plans on which collectibles to buy. I hope we get another opportunity to get them all again.

 

[Rosch]

Congratumalations to all the winners!!! And thank you Staff for picking my tattoo design! I'm so happy!

Thank you for yet another amazing Halloween event! As always, I look forward to the next one!

Huge congrats to all the winners! I know it's said all the time, but it truly is so difficult to narrow down all the amazing entries to just a few for staff favorites.

I personally want to call out the Tales of Terror entries because, despite only having a week, pretty much every entry was a solid contender. Thank you all for sharing and giving me some spooky reading to get me in the Halloween spirit!

Thank you so much to the staff for liking my short story! I always work hard on my writing submissions and had long ago accepted that my style probably wasn't widely appealing enough for an event nomination, so it was a really lovely surprise to see this. I have no idea which lantern I'm going to choose, though.

I have to say, with no disrespect to the other entries at all, yours was the one that spoke to me the most. It was a mood I could very much relate to and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I really appreciate your style.

This means so much to me—thank you for taking the time to let me know. I’m honored it spoke to you in some way!

Good job to everyone who won something! You all did very well and made such lovely designs and pieces. You all are very talented and have great imaginations. Great job!

I skipped last years Halloween and probably all of the others depending on what years there was an event, but I'm glad I made time for this one. It was really fun. I enjoyed doing all of the different tasks.

 

[Jeremy]

Staff favorite Carnival Coins and Delicious Designs bells have been distributed!

 

[Aniko]

Congratulation to all the winners they were all my favorite too! With many others. Must have been so hard to choose. Some are so funny hehehe.

Thank you very, very, very much for picking my tattoo and pumpkin!
Now I have the hard task of choosing a lantern!
What to do?!

I still don't know what collectibles to choose!

Talking about collectibles, a special mention to Rosch's The Skullbage

and Kirbyz's ghost jelly

, I loved them very much.

Thank you to all the staff for that event! They are always fun and bring a lot of joy to everybody.
I heard another was coming soon! Are you going to be ok?

I’m glad getting hold of a pumpkin and taking time to carve it was more than worth it in the end. I ended up leaving the country for a trip before Halloween but carving a pumpkin has always been a fave tradition of mine and I had to miss out on it last year. I wasn’t around to put it out for Halloween this year after carving it, but I gave it to a family member so they could put it out at their house instead while I was gone.

I’m also still honoured my ghost pop was nominated for the collectible event. I guess my pixel drawing skills aren’t as bad as I thought. I definitely have a few ideas on how to make something even better for next time. I feel even more motivated now.

All and all a really fun event as always. Staff you always put in so much love and dedication. You guys are awesome.

Thank you so much for the staff favourite!!! ;O;

Unreal Estate was the event I had the most fun with, which caused me to sink most of my time into it and neglect the other events until the final couple days… oops I didn’t end up satisfied with the result, which made me feel silly for spending so much time on it. But seeing that there’s other people who like it really makes me happy!

And congratulations to all the winners!!!! I still haven’t gone through all of the event threads yet, so this was my first time seeing some of the winners and I was blown away! Especially Creature Feature- so many hilarious interpretations

I didn’t end up voting in the tent poll, but I was leaning towards the Macabre Tent. I think it was the black feather raffle calling to me

Thank you so much staff for such a spooky, spectacular event! I really hope the upcoming mini-event was easy and simple for you to put together because you really deserve to rest after so many amazing back-to-back-to-back events all year long

 

[BetsySundrop]

Super thankful to see my painted pumpkin and story up there! The pumpkin drove me crazy trying to get the paint to stick on it properly.

I loved seeing so much creativity, and I still have to catch up on reading everyone's cursed stories. Loved the story by skarmoury and the creature feature by aquilla, awesome!

And the marathon stream of all the decorated islands! Super fun.

And - teal dragonscale egg?! I'm glad i voted for the macabre tent, but also sort of a little bit glad it lost, because I ran out of carnival coins. This way, I'll be ready when it comes around again (i hope).

I loved all of the events. Tysm for putting on such a great Halloween celebration!

 

[Halloqueen]

Congratulations to all of the winners! All of these winning entries are awesome!

I'm glad and relieved that my Michael Myers pumpkin managed to get a Staff Favorite nod. I'm happy that I can finally acquire a Lantern collectible after all these years. While I had concepts in mind, I didn't have the time to complete my entries for Creature Feature and Pierrot's Parlor, but thanks to the Pumpkin Pageantry nomination I'm able to get all of my main targets this year. Unfortunately have to pass up on Booton, the Pink Cotton Candy and Half-Eaten Cupcake and will have to try to get those down the road eventually, but I managed to get two Old Gameboys, and am going to get Edgourd, a Crow Plush and a Zipper T. Balloon, so I'm quite content.

Would've been cool to have gotten the Macabre Tent's trunk of collectibles to get more Ancient Candles and a chance at Inky, but the Wix Well Tent's trunk is cool too and it's nice to have a chance at the Spirit Candy: Pale Wix. I'm just glad to find out that we didn't miss out on Crystal Balls by not going for Macabre Tent; hopefully those will return someday. I just need two more aaahhh. lol

As usual, thank you, Staff, for all the work put in to make this another great event! These Halloween festivities were fun and I'm looking forward to seeing who ends up winning the raffles!

Wowwwwwie!!! What a phantasmal array of spooky finery chosen!!!! Super big congrats to all the staff favs!!! This was SUCH a fun event for me as I just luv Halloween soooooo much so thank you so very much, to our staff for once again, putting on a helluva show!!! Also super massive thx for liking my Jacque’o’leen!!!! (I think hubs is getting a little pissy that I still have her out on display, but I just luv looking at her!!!) Since this was my very first year to have gotten a prize pack, this is my first year at getting to be “behind the scenes” for the Halloween event. It was so sooooo much fun getting to help come up with ideas for the Wix well tent and then getting to see those made into actual events, was way awesome!!! (You’re my boy Wisp!!!!!!!)

And lastly, thank you, your highness for entrusting me with your idol!

 

[Snowesque]

My first staff fav for my favorite holiday??? Dudes.

Thank you for finding me worthy against all the fabulously spooky entries. Halloween will always have a place in my heart so I'm glad I may celebrate it year after year with my fellow TBTers. Looking forward to next year!!!
