I died a few times in the Mad King game, it does NOT count towards the death count. Survivors, get your prizes!
And a HUGE THANK YOU to Arenanet for making the Pumpkin Crown available to EVERYONE!!! I agree with this. This is good.
Transmorgrifer Tonics were given as prizes too, in Lions Arch. Again, THANK YOU. Now EVERYONE can get some of those too.
~coulda sworn the face on the pumpkin crown i got looks different from the ones i've seen before this event. If so, that's okay. Still good that now EVERYONE has a chance to get one.

Witches Hats > Pumpkin Hats...
It would be awesome if they were random, as in the next time the Mad King shows himself, Pumpkin hats will appear in Kamadan and vice versa...
Results of the games:
- Pumpkin Hat 2006
- 2 Transforming Potions
- 5 Witches Brews
- 4 Absinthes
- 2 Ghosts
- 3 ( that other drink )

Hmm, male hats look more wizardy than the female ones.
Also, the pumpkins this year are different. They've got fangs and the curve more at the top. The pumpkin itself also seem to be slightly darker. They're called Furious Pumpkin Crown.

The pumpkin crowns from my observations look like last year, just more evil. Sharp teeth, distinct eyes, etc

the new Pumpkin Crowns look kinda crap, but hey - it's a holiday headwear! now I'll go to work and leave my monk idle in Kamadan. the witch hats look awesome!

I'm okay with that, although if anyone wants the first pumpkin crown, I wish there was a way for them to get it. But the way it is now, people with the old one can get the new one, so that's cool.

I'm already screwed cause I missed this one. If I get a Pumpkin when I wanted a Hat, or vice versa next time...

Exactly, no random prizes. Let EVERYONE get BOTH prizes.

I err007 at the end of the visit, no hat for me.
I need to QQ now.

This makes me wonder whether they're going to change up the hats for Christmas this year...

Witches hat on a male Necro

I'm a bit dissapointed if I really can't get the witch's hat because I don't got free time to pick up Nightfall till this coming weekend =/
That hat would look nice on my necro =(

Can you get both the witch's hat and pumpkin crown for the same character? And can your other characters get the hats/crowns too?
Angel Develin
Do you have to be in 1 district from the start when mad king comes?
I was there a bit later (he was allready bussy) and i could not read or hear what he was saying and
i did not get any gifts
/cry

Well that's one down, and I'll probably pass on the new Pumpkin Crowns. <_<
Got it with the Frog and Gaile in Kamadan ID1.

I wonder if they'll have a different emotion for the pumpkin crowns each year.. that way everyone will have pumpkin crowns (so they won't complain) but then you can know the different years and such... just a thought
Menzoberranzan
ooo I must get a Pumpky!

That was my record for district hopping. Between 2 accounts, I managed to get 4 pumpkin crowns and 1 witches hat. (The second account doesn't have nightfall). Can anyone confirm that the mad king comes every 3 hours and not 2 hours? It sure would be nice it if was two hours so that I could get hats for all of my characters.

Coyped and pasted from the guild wars offical halloween event page
Mad King Thorn makes appearances every three hours through the day in Lion's Arch and Kamadan. His first appearance will take place at 12:01 a.m. PST and his final appearance will begin on Wednesday, November 1 at 12:01 a.m. PST.

I want to try district hopping, to get more characters done, but im wondering how possible that will be, anyone know when its best to hit each district?
Estic
I like the fact males get a wizards hat, females a witches hat... My necro would have looked silly wearing a Withces hat 
Queenie
The event is great, but it seriously pisses me off when people click on him for ages and he doesn't do anythink. I wish anet would make it that nothing would happen if you click on him becuz right now im in a town where people won't stop clicking on him T__T
Angie Dulourz
boo~ LA only give out pumkin head not W-hat. i tried >_< i got pumkin ... i want W-hat >_<
getalifebud
Yeah and his rock paper scissors thing should maybe play against everyone.
getalifebud
Well then go to kamadan next...
Killaya
Wait, so if I just idle inside the circle when he shows up, do I still get one? :s I'm not gonna be home at any of the times he's comming. I'm eastern time so it's 3:01, 6:01, 9:01....
If I miss I'm gonna be mad. They should have him come for more than one day so that those of us who actually have stuff to do can participate too.
Grrrr. Cause even if I idle to get a hat, I don't get to play the games.

If anyone does not want to wait around every 3 hours to get both. Just start in Nightfall and move to LA as soon as you get your witches hat. It has worked for two of chara. so far.

You can get Transmogrifier Tonic by playing the king's niftly little games. By the way, is it possible to get a crown for one char, then quickly hop on to another to try and get it for that character too?
TheYellowKid
in the dragon festival the emporer used to move through the districts so u could jump into one and it would just be starting because there were so many. Does anyone kno/ remember which way he moved Last district up or first district down?
Linksys
Is it possible to dye the witch hat? Cause I primarily use one character and have both the hat and the pumpkin helm. I'm thinking what if I put my hat in storage, I may be able to get another one. If so, then another and another. I can have a set of different colors. Is this possible?
GranDeWun
The hat doesn't dye. Also, warlock hat is brown, witch hat is black.
Linksys
You're right, I tried the dye. What is the warlock hat?
Kais Unduli
Sweet, I should be able to get some event hats for my characters who have missed in the past.
Special thanks to lyra for posting up the info. You rock.

Great, if I had know that idling would work, I could have left my computer on at home. Never participated in an event like this before....
Ah well. I will have one last chance when I get home from work so will set it up then.
Hopefully I'll get something (I did try to participate whislt at work but it slowed my computer down too much and for some reason everybody arrived in the office really early so I didn't get to play - was still downloading when the first people arrived - I normally would have had 2 hours on my own!)
