Rules All entries must be submitted by November 23nd, 2024 at 11:59 PM server time (UTC). Each player is allowed to submit or participate in only one entry, and they must choose one of the three available categories for their submission. Each entry may include up to six players. Each player will receive the full prize if selected. Players may not reserve spots in the thread to submit an entry at a later time. Screenshots must be unedited, uncropped, and take place on an in-game map. All entries must abide by Game Terms & Conditions as well as the Forum Rules & Regulations. The usage of AI-generated text, such as ChatGPT, is not allowed for the description of the submission. One entry will be chosen at random from the runner-ups (2nd & 3rd places) to win the Random Generator category. Players do not submit to this category. Note: The window for claiming the event prize extends for three months from the announcement of the winner. Spoiler: Submission Checklist Please be sure to follow this checklist to ensure the highest quality of your submission: 1. Make sure your resolution is on max. 2. Make sure you’re in windowed mode. 3. Minimize your map, your skill bar, and your chat log. 4. Disable all skill and item buffs. 5. Move your cursor off the screen. 6. Make sure your screenshot follows all the rules so it’s not disqualified. Note: the above is just a recommendation, not a requirement Spoiler: What does Staff look for in the submissions? Transparency about how winners are determined: We usually select winners by individually assigning points to our favorite submission(s) per each category. The scoring system varies from event to event. Staff members generally value creativity and thoughtfulness. We tend to see a lot of recycled concepts, so submissions that truly exhibit out-of-the-box thinking would help to grab our attention. For most events, however, there is no guidance on how Staff members vote for their favorite submissions. In addition, while we do personally love naughty jokes, such submissions unfortunately rarely win. As Staff members, we do feel a bit hesitant about encouraging or endorsing such content (NSFW) through an official platform. As MapleRoyals is a PG-13 server, we appreciate your understanding of the above!

Adjusted a ruling, the rest remains the same as the 2023 version Original: "One entry will be chosen at random to win the Random Generator category. Players do not submit to this category." New: "One entry will be chosen at random from the runner-ups (2nd & 3rd places) to win the Random Generator category. Players do not submit to this category." Note: also extended the deadline from 20th Nov to 23rd Nov as I have released this forum event late by few days

IGN(s): iRarax, Lychie, Ciowning, psyduckk, grumpi Category: HALL-UWU-EEN Description: Its the year 2024, MapleRoyals are full of active Royallers. Halloween arrived and suddenly, the incoming number of new players vanished. MapleRoyals needs the young ones to step up and save Maple from the treacherous villains such as Horntail, AufHaven and Von Leon. The team of iRarax, Lychie, psyduckk, grumpi and Scooby Doo went to investigate this case with the help of Clowning. The team tracked high and low for clues from the lands of Maple Island to the forest of Leafre to the sands and dunes of Ariant. With a brilliant trap of catching the culprit, grumpi acted as a new player trying to join royals and we baited the culprit who was kidnapping all these new players. All along, it was Clowning, who aimed to be the best Explorer in Royals, and with new people coming in, he has to face more competition. So Clowning became Frankenstein to scare away the kids so that none of them could be a strongest Explorer in Royals.

IGN(s): Naobito Category: SPOOK-TACULAR Description: he stood under the bright light of the moon, watching the chaotic beauty unfold before him. The streets of magatia were alive with the rhythm of distant drums and the cries of the celebratory crowds. It was the halloween festival — a time for joy, for feasting, for the giving of thanks. But to him, it was merely a stage. A stage for his masterpiece. He could hear the bustle of the revelers, unaware of the impending performance. He carved his masterpieces in flesh, each stroke a cold whisper of a mind that found beauty in the chaos of death. Soon, they would witness something magnificent, something that would be etched in their minds for eternity, something... beautiful. "The trigger on a loaded weapon... it whispers for us to act."
