I was thinking. Us "wierdo" British People have Bonfire Night, celebrating the fact that some plan to blow up Parliament failed. Yes a bit silly but...
How about a Guild Wars Bonfire Night?
Surely no one would complain about a massive bonfire in LA or Kama, with tonnes of fireworks?
Maybe not the conventional Crate of Fireworks aesthetics, maybe something more unique to spice the festival up!?
With collectors to swap for party items?


Merely a thought I had. ^^

Wahey!
Hey there, yeah bit of a mispelling but i made this a while back.

And yeah I've got nothing against Haloween but I wouldnt mind seeing aspects from other countries too.
For example it was Mexican Day of the Dead a day or so ago that would have been cool!

Yes I noticed the facepaint and thought that it may have been related! ^^
An actual festival inclusion would be cool.

ddraeg - Maybe there could be a visit from Mad Guy Fawkes?

Btw, wife is British (mostly). She says y'all can never decide if you are celebrating that Guy's plan was foiled or that he tried in the first place.

Although the Houses of Parliament are rather impressive.

Marshmellow: +1 Sweet Tooth Points. Use this item on The Guild Wars Bonfire to create a Roasted Marshmellow.

Roasted Marshmellow: +2 Sweet Tooth Points & Sugar Rush, this item must be used in conjuction with The Guild Wars Bonfire!

Well I, for one disagree with this idea... if only for the reason that it is political. I hold Fawks in great esteem. He is one of my idols (no joke). Politics shouldn't be in video games. At all.

Well the fireworks would be nice and as a brit I have no problem with a bonfire night festival.

It was more religious than political, though they were pretty much indistinguishable at that time.
Trouble is its limited to one country unlike the other festivals.

Oh and officially we celebrate the failure of the plot.

it sounds like a good idea but the chances of anything really new happening is slim to not happening due to gw2 and the time of year but yeah sounds good

Aye, I'm getting V for Vendetta just to watch it on the 5th, will this event also have the 1812 overture playing?

I have an event that will earn people 1337 party points.
