Zille-O-Ween Celebration

Dear Glitchen --- It's almost the month of Remember, and that means that Zille-O-Ween (or, in the new parlance, "Zilloween") is lurking right around the corner, and that several seasonal items are about to claw their way back to the surface of Ur so that we can party! 
Information: Tower View BBQ & Zilloween Party in Boan Stravenue, Jethimadh
Beginning 1 glitchy-day before Zilloween [Wednesday, 11 January 2012 @ 13:00 PST]
Dress: Costumes! Suggestions: Dragons to celebrate the human Lunar New Year, Zombies, etc.
Activities: Trick-or-treating throughout the Villas, Lofts, and Quarter-streets, candy exchanges, Lanterning demos, Barbecueing in view of the Great Tower of Jethimadh & much more.

Start growing those pumpkins as soon as you're able!

  • Pumpkins? Herb or crop? What are they used for? Please mail me in-game, I will respond and understand it so much better that way!:-)

  • Avariella,

    Pumpkin seeds can be planted in either crop plots or herb plots.  You can buy them at the Gardening Goods vendors when they are in season.  

    Pumpkins are used for ale, pies, and candy.

  • i know I'll be taking a break from growing herbs to grow pumpkins, but more importantly I'll be planting every empty square in all three comunity gardens and all the herb gardens with them until I've spent... "enough" to make sure there's a chance for free ones for everybody

  • Dragons,eh? Good costume choice for the Year of the Water Dragon.

    And yes... we should have a concerted effort to plant pumpkins in the community gardens... all of them.

    *gets ready to start making candies to get the badges this time around*

  • Hope you all can make it! Thanks, WindBorn, for helping.

    I'm trying to organize a trick-or-treat circuit through the housing blocks on Boan Stravenue. (between the quarter-streets, the Villas, and the Lofts, there are a lot!)
    What I was imagining was a bunch of trick-or-treaters following a guide from door to door, picking up Zilloween treats along the way. We wouldn't enter homes; the homeowner would bring the "bowl" of treats outside. Any of this sound fun? I thought it would be a great way for residents to show off their jack-o-lanterns.

  • Zilloween candies? what's that?
    What are the ingredients?
    How long do they last?
    What about Jack&Jill-o'-lanterns?

  • Specifically, the Zilloween category search.
    Posted 11 months ago by MicklePickle Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The wiki doesn't say, can pumpkins only be grown on Zilloween?
    Posted 11 months ago by Shiromisa Kaya Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, pumpkins will only grow during Zilloween, though the uncarved pumpkins or unused pumpkin seeds do not disappear after the event.

  • Start putting together your costume, and getting your garden ready for the rush of pumpkin planting.  As soon as seeds are available, we'll be making ale and candy galore.

  • Anyway know how many days it will last or what the lead time will be on growing pumpkins and giving candy?
    Posted 11 months ago by FyodorD Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Can someone confirm when we can start eating/giving candy where it counts towards badges?
    Is it the whole month of remember or only on zilloween day?
    Posted 11 months ago by Gadzooks Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Gadzooks,

    From what I remember about the last Zilloween 'season', Glitchen could get badges as soon as the pumpkin seeds were available for sale, and until they stopped selling them, at the gardening goods vendors. And all that started a few RL days before, and lasted a few RL days after, Zilloween on the Glitch calendar.* 
    If that holds true, start looking for pumpkin seeds today and as soon as they show up, start eating and giving away that CANDY!!

    *Does anyone remember exactly how long before and after it was last time?
