When is Zilloween?

The Calendar says it's on the 37th of Remember. So that would be when in RL?
Also, how does it all work? What all can one do?

I was away from the game for a week the last time so missed all of it entirely. Can someone give a quick tutorial on how to get the maximum out of the festival?

Thanks :)

  • oh all I know is you can buy pumpkin seeds (limited) and grow them and carve them (put lights in them using the fireflies you catch in the bottles) ^__~ and you can make some foods from the grown pumpkins as well :)

  • Here's the calendar
    http://www.glitch.com/calendar/

    Today is the 25th of Remember, Zilloween is the 37th.

    In other words, next Tuesday afternoon, between noon and 4 pm EST.

  • Start with pumpkin seeds, go from there! You can view the achievements related to it in the Encyclopedia :)

  • Anyone know when we can start giving and eating candy for badges? Is it now, or do we have to wait till Zilloween gets closer?
    Are we all meeting in Somewhat Sump again?

  • Also, another question: Do we have to memorize which Glitches we gave candies so we do not repeat people so it doesn't count towards "The Candyglitch"?

  • I ate a piece of candy and got the sugar rush, which is only during the ziloween season. So i am thinking we are good to go for badges. :)

  • It probably is good to go, but you get sugar rush any time regardless of whether the badges are available (I've tried it ... lots ;) )

  • I believe the event will be for the whole day ;)

    Buy pumpkin seeds at Gardening Vendors... pretty cheap.
    Grow them with guano.
    Harvest them! One or two per patch!
    Carve them for roasted pepitas, jellisiac growths and one of five carved pumpkins!
    Carve all 5 for a badge!
    Light pumpkins with a full firefly jar! Light one and place it for a badge!
    Light one and place it and teach it to talk! Don't say any bad words!
    Make pumpkin foods! 3 candies make you walk faster, ale makes you moonwalk, and pie makes you full of pie!
    Give candy around for badges!
    Eat candy, 11 per day or you'll break a tooth, for badges!

    Good luck all!
    (contact me before the 21st if you want seeds)

  • what does "full of pie" do?  make you walk slower?

  • Well I figure since actual zilloween only last 4 hours, the dev likely are giving us these couple of days to work on the badges.  If the candy giving badge can be worked toward, the candy eating badge probably can be work toward also.

    Be nice for a dev to confirm or deny. :)

    Update: one of my friends just got the "candy caner" badge, a candy eating badge.

  • Will my lit carved pumpkins turn into Pumpkin Pie like it says on Glitch Strategy in a few days?

  • Just don't have your carved pumpkins (lit or not) in bags in your cabinet when Zilloween ends! They will disappear and not leave anything behind. Or that's what happened to me last go around, anyhow.
