Can you participate in a event with 1 of your chars, log onto another char, and do events with that char, and get hats for BOTH chars, or what?
Or is it only 1 hat to 1 char pr event?

When the moon rises high over Lion's Arch
And the wind moans through the most hollow of eves
Shutter your homes this holiday
Steer clear of the shadows
For on this night, they say,
A long-addled spirit returns from the grave
Pumpkin upon his head,
A wicked deed within his heart
A pint of witch's brew for all those who misbehave
Heed these words, all ye who dare enter here:
Bind your souls to the mortal realm
For the regent of madness draws near
I don't know if you can use this or not. These items might do something special when used in order. I don't know

OMG Anet, that was great fun. I switched my second account to Europe just to see the king early and that was hilarious.
OMGLOL!

I was in Euro-English dis 1 when he arrived at 2.50pm GMT. One of my guildies was in dis 23 and he started there later a few minutes after 3pm. I imagine he spawns in each district one after the other so you don't have to be in dis 1 at the turn of the hour.. just go to a different district if you're late.
It was ridiculous how many people kept dying when he played "Mad King says"
Watch as the halloween item traders scuttle back into their dark corners.. for now at least.

Oh man... and funny it was.
At several times i almost died from laughing. Not because of his jokes, but from the stupidity of people. Especially with the "Mad King says" Game and all the swearings from the folks who did not understand the game even after the 12.th round or so...
/edit:
From my understanding, he is allways online but in different Districts. When he was in 14.. he wasn't so in 5. So as i said i guess he is allways online... but switching districts.

So funny...
The mad king wants to see you jump. Mad King Says: Jump!
Population jumps.
Half of W/Mos jump (including me)
Half of W/Mos die (not me!)
Kneel!
No one kneels in population.
I don't kneel.
W/Mos: KNEEL YES IM KNEELING HEY WTF I DIE
Da Uber W/Mo: Woohoo I am first to do it every time
One funny one was in the cluster, i was in the absolute front and slightly to the right. Magically, everyone near me failed one along with random people in the main part of the crowd. I was left standing there slightly embarassed!
Good old Dis 14... I'l never forget it

What he told me was that Mad King gives everyone a helm who is near him before he leaves, so you don't really need to participate at all.
The undead Mesmer
aaah ok lucky me but il play it annyway to get much goodies ^^
RTSFirebat
So how long does the Mad King hang about for? an hour?
The undead Mesmer
40 minutes after he told his last joke its over (danm) when he starts his game MAD KING says its over verry soon.
boxterduke
Ok, for the people who have the helmet.
How does he give it to you, do you have to talk to him or it just shows up in your character's inventory (the one you participated with)

No. You do not have to play any games at all. It would appear that you could be AFK and still get the helm, since Mad King is just a bot and he gives it based soley on characters in his proximity at the designated time.
Olfin Bedwere
Well good, cause I`m at work till 6:30 then have to take the kids out to get some candy. Would love to get a pumpkin hat so it looks like I`ll have to be there AFK.
Talin Verderben
All this talk about Time Zones is hurting my head. I am in Ohio and just want to know when I need to be in LA.
Sir Skullcrasher
I'm in California. And I can probably play on night time (pass 6'o Clock PST) Hopefully he will be on!
Pandora's box
Did someone allready mention that you can recruit the Mad Kings Guard as henchies?
Wretchman Drake
so 12:00pm east coast america? i live 1 time zone behind it, and i dont get home until 3:10. when can i get the helm?
kawaii_bat
So the Mad king just appears randomly ? In a few different district and rotates once in a while?
So if you're not there when he starts his games will you still get the pumkin head if you participate regardless of when you did ?

We were in District 2 and half way through we all get a ERR7 code and was disconected :-(
Quickly logged back in to D2 but he had gone I checked all districts till I found him again halfway through his routine.
Joining in his games increased my Halloween items when I got it right. And at the end he says he has to go and the Pumkin head then appears in your inventory.

Jesus, is it that hard to work things out for yourselves? People have just stated that it's midday PST and then every three hours on american servers.
Is it that hard to type PST and your timezone into google and working it out for yourselves maybe? Realy not that difficult is it?

If you die in a town or outpost, does it add to your death meter?
Very important question because I have a character with 0 deaths still

Also, because I have to go to work and I don't have the time to slog through the posts and do the math...
Will the Mad King be showing up 'again' @ 11pm CST (12am EST, 9pm PST) tonight?

Yes, it does. Although having 0 deaths doesn't really mean much, I mean, people might just assume you're the type to quit when the going gets tough instead...
