I would love to be able to participate in these types of events, but scheduling is usually against me. I'm glad some servers are getting later times, so I can hop on a secondary server to participate.
Also, thanks for the Origin Codes as a consideration!
Awww yeah. *limbers up fingers* Time to ninja another pack code.
Hopefully I'll be able to attend the party too though.
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
Already have costume, I am ready, on multiple servers.
Are "Halloween themed costumes" the classic costumes or character created costumes. And, if the latter, does it mean more typical Halloween style costumes or anything that someone could wear to a Halloween party?
May want to update the announcement so it doesn't say the Liberty Pacific time is 3 a.m.

I'm also curious about how you define Halloween themed costumes. I have a sea monster and a succubus. Would either of those qualify?
Liberty Server:
Genso - level 50 controller
Tsuya - level 50 controller
Mia Chan - level 50 controller
Tsu One - Level 50 scrapper
Ember Kitten - Level 50 Blaster
Various alts
Fantastic!!
As much as I may grumble about some of the prices of the add ons (Hey, I'm cheap!!), I really appreciate the fact that you guys give out these things as prizes. You can just sell them and make yer profits... But you also choose to hand them out as rewards.
Very very cool.
It almost makes me want to forgo entering the contest, so that I can pay for the pack myself... ALMOST!
Bring it on, costume makers!! 
(haha.. just kidding... Good luck everyone! I will likely show up for some partying!!)

From past experiences, these are rather casual (but well run) events where the community team picks winners... The concept of a "Halloween Theme" has a broad definition and I am pretty sure that any and all of those concepts could be winners. You just have to tickle the fancy of the judges!
I could see characters dressed up as famous movie or book characters (Not sure about the whole trademark infringements here... let's just all stay hushed about that, whatdoyasay?)... I could see generic/original interpretations on Halloween-ish themes, scary monsters, even the silly generic halloween costume things, etc... And I could see dressing up as other characters/creatures from the CoH game world.
I'm pretty sure it is safe to assume that the concepts are pretty wide open and any and all of these could be winners!
Then again... Ocho and Avatea could be mean and say that I'm wrong and bar me from taking part because of this post!!
Oooh... speaking of witch... err which... Since I plan to compete... I should have given you all incorrect information!!
Or... DID I????
Muhahaha... ha... ha... ahem... is anyone reading this any more?

Unfortunately I will be out of town for this one. Sucks too since I have the perfect costume for it. Oh well, good luck to all the people who can make it.
Ocho, check your PMs!
/gignore @username is the best feature of this game. It's also probably the least used feature.

Yeah, do costume drops count or do we need to fix up our own custom costume with one of the slots?
I really don't think that a costume power would win you the contest over something you put together yourself at the tailor.
Just my 0.5 cents (Tax man took the rest)!!

I've never seen a costume drop win any of these, so I have to agree with you. Besides if you're going to be a copy [use someone else as your costume] at least you can have the fun of actually trying to use the parts to make it happen! |

I'm looking forward to this... and this time, I will remember to run around and look at everybody.
I hope no one minds me invading their server to join in, as I probably won't be around when my home server's scheduled contest is going on!
Yes... I am logging onto your server...
Stealing your prizes!!!
(maybe!!)
Happy Halloween!!

Just went to Pocket D 3 (1 &2 full), a pretty big crowd formed. Was dancing along with everyone, and someone asked quite politely if people wouldn't mind turning off their toggles etc as he was getting bad stutter etc, and some tool threw a waterspout on him, laughing in caps with terrible spelling and saying 'I HOP U DC' etc.
Thoroughly depressing to see crap like that happening. I left.
Eco.

The Echo, Arc ID 1688 (5mish, easy, drama)
The Audition, Arc ID 221240 (6 mish, complex mech, comedy)

I was on Virtue and didn't win anything, baaaaaaaah.
My heart is broken.
Some really awesome costumes. Was on Liberty, and Champion. Did not win, but fully agree on the winners for both.
I was in Pocket D1 and omg I won!
Thanks again Mod08.
You rock!
