Halloween Birthday Bash 2022 | Results (Finally)

[Moonface]

With Halloween soon upon us and our community being around for its 16th year, I think it's a hauntingly good time to celebrate with our annual Halloween Birthday Bash!

I'll be running a variety of contests and activities during this event for everyone to participate in, focusing on Halloween and video-games! Taking part in the festivities will earn you points that can be cashed in at the end of the event to get yourself some spooky prizes, so even if you're not lucky enough to win you still have a chance to get something! You're also welcome to make and/or suggest your own Halloween/anniversary themed contests and/or activities, which will also be eligible for earning points.

I was under the impression these results had already happened as I used the one before to choose an Xmas themed colour for my username, so I'll...just use that again I guess anyway. Also will go for two Random Shiny cards for my 8 candy.

No, that was because Summer Meltdown's results were posted December 8th, which fell a little over two weeks out from Christmas. I had intended to originally do these results during my winter break, but the copious amounts of free time I expected to have during that were cut short by work needing me to cover for my coworker who had to be off for medical reasons. Then every time I did remember this needed doing when I would have the time for it, the day would suddenly pass me by which is the story of my life these days.

Back to back championship titles, you love to see it -airhorns blare and dabs-

Those are my card submission ideas

I'll take a Zelda Shiny and a Halo standard for my point usage, too.

Ehh, you pick a color for me idk

Congrats, Shira!
