I am happy to let people keep on complaining, as long as there's no flaming involved from both sides. Not even if you've made a superleet texmod.

Thanks.

ele_magic, i was thinking that to. Both have said on their wiki pages they both do Halloween and Wintersday events, so i was thinking they should team up again for Wintersday. The ultimate Parternship business!

After some sleep and forgetting about it for a day, finally put the pics on photobucket. However, too lazy to look through these, crop the edges to make smaller, and toss out the bad ones. So I'll just img link the first of each "section," and link the rest.

Wickerman Ritual (excuse the trolls) - Got lots of this, I might crop out Malafide's speech during this later:

After-party (those with the golem, would be me) - still had my half-done last minute costume on here:

Malafide being picked in RPS then dying while afk - was funny at the time:

Great pictures, thanks for posting them!

By the way, the Queen can guarantee that Mad King Thorn has been sleeping on the couch for a couple of days now. I've been putting devourer poison in his pumpkin soup every night as punishment for picking me during Rock/Paper/Scissors.

Daniel Frozenwind however managed to succesfully challenge him and win, or so I'm told, although the Mad King seems in denial.

The Queen can't wait to see some of the videos shot during the event.

Hey, that's me left from you on the picture Konig, with the pumpkin head, on gw003,004

First of all thanks to all who made this great event possible, i think everyone who participated, enjoyed it well, and won't forget it so fast as someone would try to forget a nightmare.

I'd like to post some of the pictures i made, i hope you'll like them. (Sadly i forgot to make screens about the ghost ship and i've got only 1 screen from the wicker ritual - why? -i dont know, maybe i was drunk, or the party drained my concentration

)

Lol, Mad King Lanthorns sparkling in the background.

Check that massive line on the radar.

Gaile and her special mini pet.

And this was later, yesterday in international 1

Mad King Thorn challanged me asweel, but, great minds think-alike

I wish i can make it next time to the after-party

Again, thank you for this great event, im looking forward to the next one.

Wow guys, nice pics. Dont see how this is appropriate, but i remember Malafide saying how special Halloween was going to be this year during the MesCon. Well, i can see in these pics what she meant.

That was a really clever event. It always amazes me what things people come up with as activities in-game. I love that so many people are committed to community events (and a little sad that while people complain about no new content until gw2, they still harass and heckle the people who are trying to offer more fun things for the community to do in gw1).

I got several screenshots, but I picked a few to post here.
There was storytime by the lighthouse. I swear I didn't just sit on the dervish, he offered himself as a spider snack while I was playing with camera angles.

Massive pumpkin floating!

We all swabbed the deck for our Queen and did our best to follow her orders.

A super cool wickerman ceremony. (I wish I had gotten a pic of kuunavang wrapping around him, that looked really cool).

I didn't get a shot of the ghosts on the bridge. The bridge is kinda screwy. People standing at the middle part got their ghosts bumped forward so they were out of the line. It was a cool idea though.

You're welcome on the pictures. And yes, Daniel and I both got a rematch with Thorn. Daniel won and I lost.

Thorn was too cowardice to face me a third time that year in the district that started empty (2 others besides me Daniel and a few others from the Kamadan stay) that went to 30+ people in seconds (where do they come from?!?!?)

My score with Thorn (as this was the first year he ever called on me) is 0-1-1. I need a third match to beat him next year /shakefist.

Oh, and nice pics to everyone else.

Wonder if I can get some pics of what that texmod mod made the place look like, as texmod won't work for me.

Yeah - who would have thought that Polish district 2 would suddenly explode with people.

Still, I finally got to have a contest with Thorn (we tied) in his last appearance of the year - unlike last year when I fought him twice (and lost both).

BTW, nice pictures - I sent links to a few people to show myself hob-nobbing with the "in" crowd

I've gone through my screens and picked out a few good ones.

The after-party:

Lion's Arch, after everything was finished (bit dark):

Thank you all for the great screenshots. Were there any videos shot as well? I can't wait to see a video of the Wicker Ritual for example, or the worlds biggest scare.

I'm looking forward for a video as well, I know Daniel got one of Mad King Thorn's second to last appearance (with him winning in RPS) without too many people crowding him.
