On this most "chilly" Halloween...
It's nearly that time of the year again, when the corpses rattle restlessly in their caskets, when the ghouls sound a foul cry against the dark and cloudy midnight sky. It's nearly that time of the year when my husband rises from the Underworld to spread terror and laughter among the people of Tyria. He has spent the last couple of long cold nights trying to think up a new repertoir of fiendish jokes and it has left him screaming mad, yelling in the middle of the night and impatiently walking the halls of the frozen palace over and over again. While the King prepares in his own way for the event, the Queen is delighted to announce an alliance between herself and the master of events, Daniel Frozenwind. Yes it was the always cheerful party animal himself that approached the Queen and asked her if she would like to work together for this frightful occasion. Sensing a unique opportunity to make this the most memorable Halloween in the history of Tyria, the Queen thankfully agreed. More details will be released soon. So get your pumpkin crowns ready. It is almost time for an event that will be to DIE for. Ahahahaha!

Key Activities
The Wicker Ritual
A very long time ago, the druids of the Maguuma had a ritual of autumn, gathering the dead wood of the high plains and out skirts of there jungle they would bind it together in the form of a human, and offer the effigy to Melandru for renewal, thus the ash would rain down on there beloved jungle and provide nutrition. Much time has passed and the ritual has lost its meaning, constructing the wicker man during the time of autumn while the Monarch of Madness corrupting presence is at hand had adverse effects on the worshipers of Melandru and so the practise of constructing wicker men ceased for a time. Until a certain Queen had ideas of her own... How do YOU corrupt a snowman?

This event is run by Bladeradio, it consists of giving away 400 minipets over three days (30th 31st and 1st) along side our event.

Malafides Famous Joke Contest
Every year Mad Queen Malafide holds a contest for the best related Guild Wars Jokes in Tyria! Sadly Thorn is running out of ideas, if you have that "killer" Joke at the event, you might just find yourself with an undedicated Bone Dragon. As the Queen said herself:
"My husband, the late Mad King Thorn, has often been criticized for his... shall we say, "limited repertoire" of jokes? Well that rumour shall die as swiftly as a dancing mesmer on an open square. The Queen asks for the greatest pranksters and jesters to find the best Halloween joke on Tyria, so that my husband might add it to his collection. The rules are simple:"
-Your joke should be comprehensible for all Tyrians, so preferably it should not contain off world topics. The joke should be about things that all Tyrians are familiar with.
-Your joke should be fitting to the ears of the Queen. This means no swearing or jokes that are in bad taste. The Queen enjoys a polite joke, better than a crude one.
-Your joke should be original. Grenth frowns upon copy paste, as does the Queen. Stealing other people's jokes is not an option.
-The Queen favors jokes that fit with Halloween.
-The Queen also favors jokes that make fun of mesmers, Asura, Charr, dwarves, Ascalons or mesmers.
-People making jokes about necromancers are killed on the spot.
Assortment of key activities are still hidden
A blast from the past

|||Sounds awesome! ill be there to win that mini grawl or any 3rd year >:).|||Congrats on what looks to be an extraordinary event. I'll be there!
A question; was the double mesmer reference a joke itself? Because I was laughing!
I hope you take into consideration the extremely bad jokes the Mad King makes when judging ours.... it just makes sense. :)
See You There!|||That was definately on purpose. Malafide hates mesmers with a passion. It's a necro thing I guess.
But don't worry. Mesmers can simply sneak in and wear a mask. I'm told she has very bad eye sight and will hand out presents even to mesmers.|||The Queenie loves my mesmer, it's that forbidden lust thing I suppose.
I'll be there with bells on and have a few not so hot minis I'll be donating for the night of the mini run.
-Art|||sounds fun count me in|||Hmm, I'll be sure to pop in I suppose. I wouldn't mind a few mini's that I don't have :)
Now to think of a new "costume" for my characters. -have one but... meh, I can do better.-|||So, should I come on my suicide-monk or my necro?|||are these ANET made npcs or ANET admins or just a community thing?|||Community people
