Hello Brotherhood Icrontic. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Sinister Digital and I have come to inform you of a growing infestation that is accumulating on the underside of your wonderful warring community. I come representing a client of mine who wishes to exterminate this pest. I have no doubt when I finish explaining the task at hand that you will understand my utter delight in preforming it.

While I will not explain my plan to any detail you desire, the nature of the assignment is such that I must publicize a sliver of data in hopes of rousing actions that some, myself not included, would consider... help. The seedier players among you will recognize the acronym MLP:FIM. You, yes You. You need to understand that certain members of this same community not only understood that, but glee pierced their quickened heart as they read it. We must kill them. You and I. You like that? As I explained, you will get as much pleasure out of this as I will.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I am nauseated just uttering that phrase. Bronies. Ha! I don't think they even know they are a parasite. Their colony can no longer be allowed to thrive in our society. They are among us and we must weed them out. I have reached out to their leader in the past. His followers are many and they all look up to him. You will have to aim high to take him down.

Your mission is to arm up in your finest gear and join The Icrontic TF2 server on Halloween. Say...Hour 18 in The Pacific. I will arrange a 'meeting' of sorts with our victims. They will clop right into our trap and we can exterminate them at will.

What if I told you that not only will you be taking part in the genocide of Bronies but that you may receive spoils for your undertaking? You would like that, wouldn't you? Well I have sets of Halloween masks, a sampling of Strange Weapons, a couple of hats and a myriad of scrap weapons for those who lack in armory. I will give them out to players who impress me with their PKR (Pony Kills per Round) throughout the night.

Be There!

Sinister Digital

    I stand with the brethren of the pony, but I will be otherwise occupied on Halloween. I'll try and convince some ICOK attendees to get in on the bloodshed.

    Heads up.

    Insanity is upon us.

    We'll include the Halloween map cycle file that we're going to be using on about 70% of our Valve servers, so you can have an example for how you might want to configure your servers.

    Your humble servant,
    Fletch
    Looks like the Halloween patch is coming tonight. :rockon:

    ....so all of those costume sets are only available to purchase or find DURING the event.

    And they are only wearable DURING the Halloween event, or during a full moon. Timed-event items that only work either during halloween, or ONE DAY PER MONTH. The real shame? Most of these look excellent.

    This year's Spine-Chilling Skull also pales in comparison to last year's, even if it does offer more styles.

    So, I'm glad I took the time to pre-emptively check if I could play the Halloween map. Turns out my install was wonky and kept erroring out. I didn't even have the map in my maps folder.

    In any case, if folks are looking to crank up for Monday, I'll be playing a good portion of the weekend.

    I missed this because I suck :(

    Spent the evening working late and napping, recovering from ICOK. Didn't realize this was scheduled for today until it was over.

    I miss IC TF2

    IT was a good night. Got a lot of pubs once I set it to the Halloween map.

    Though with a lot of pubs it was hard to organize anything and give anything away.

    If you were on tonight and could use something strange or some Halloween masks, just let me know!

    If you have anything in particular for Demoman I'd be happy. All I got from those presents where the Scout's Halloween "boots"

    Only thing I have to offer right now that falls into that would be a Strange Pain Train. If that would be at all useful to you, it is yours!

    I'd say don't worry about it, but if you really want to, I play most scout, soldier, spy.

    I can supply the Halloween shoes for the Scout if you want.

    Hmm well I do use Demoman and Soldier. I don't think I would use it that much though so thanks for offering but no.

    Since they're Halloween exclusive (right?), I'm not too worried about it. They'd just sit in my backpack.

    I was under the impression that you could continue to wear the whole set if you had the whole set. However I heard that ingame so I don't know if it's true. Take it with a grain o' salt.

    Until today I was under the impression that the Haunted items were going to be available year round as long as you were wearing the entire haunted set. You may have heard me on the server saying this. As of today the TF2 Wiki says:
    There is no difference between Unique and Haunted items except for the name, which is purely cosmetic.

    Me thinks we will only know for sure after the Halloween event is over.
