The Anti Pumpkin Party was the third installment of the event group made by Glaceonguy and Jmen\_07. The theme this time around would be Halloween and this would be the last unique variant of a party by the group, as they would look to keep the existing events going. Despite hostility from non-invitees, the event would again end in a resounding success.

## Prelude

Despite the events so far having started at the organizers, it would actually by player Rhonor to start interest in the Halloween event. On August 23th, shortly after the summer event, the players would demand a Halloween event in the group chat, sparking several hyped festival goers. Unfortunately, it was still August, so no direct action would be taken for another 2 months. Once October arrived however, the next event was all but decided.

The event name was later chosen due to the lack of Pumpkin members welcome at the party, thanks to their recent endeavors on the server. While they weren't invited, they would quickly attempt to get access to the event nonetheless, but would eventually settle on making an event of their own instead.

## History

Despite a rocky start, the date would be set on October 26th. After the usual planning, the location would be chosen mere hours before the start of the event itself, yet two locations were found for the event. Eventually the spruce forest was chosen over the island, due it's location being more in line with the theme. As usual, a central point was build before the start of the event, with a place to host the signs of those present.

As the event began the next day, it became obvious that, unlike most other events, people had planned their builds in advance. Big area's were sectioned off by groups, hoping to show off their hard labors. DC would arrive quick to the party as Eulo and CatMuncher had been asking to let in early for a while before the event. When the coords eventually got released, they managed to get there first and claimed a suitable plateau for their build: the freddy fazbear statue. It also wouldn't take long for DB to arrive at the scene, with plans to place their wither statue, having it's heads swapped out for members and carrying Moogle.

As the event went on, Rhonor would play a role again in the ongoings of the festival, as he would set up an event in the event. Having fallen victim to the squidgame craze, he made a copy of the glass pane game from the show at the event. Despite it's success, he wouldn't yet feel as if he had accomplished it's full potential. Together with a couple friends from DC, he would recreate all of squidgames rooms and would invite all participants to join the games. It was here that the players managed to fill the entire creative server of Purity, as no other players could join.

## The Pumpkin plot

Seeing they weren't only not invited, but also made fun off, the members of Pumpkin wanted revenge. While it had by now become a normality that those not invited would start looking for the base, a faction wide attempt was a first. As the date closed in and the secrecy around the event had largely disappeared, Pumpkin would set their plan in motion: they offered several people that were invited a big bounty, should they share the coords with them. As one of these players, JohnFknStinky was presented with the opportunity as well. He had ties with some of Pumpkin, but was trusted to come regardless. Trust he would not betray.

Upon receiving the offer, he instead went to Glaceon, one of the organizers, with the message she received. Together with him, John conjured up the pumpkin plot, planning to deceive the players. Glaceon would post a fake announcement message, telling the participants the time of the event and teasing the members of Pumpkin a little while doing so. On the day itself he would share the coords -450392 -403020 with John, in a message telling that the far distance for the event was necessary due to the chance of Pumpkin looking for the event. As intended, this emboldened the group even more, as they would soon set off on a 4 hour journey. once there and finding nothing, John would send the image of the group stating that the coords were in fact not -450392 -403020, but -450392 +403020. Undeterred, the faction set off again, as their moment of victory felt so nearby. After another far journey, the group eventually arrived and opened up a portal, ready to bestow hell upon those who didn't accept them. To their dismay, they found only some sheep in a field.

Not long after John would be completely ostracized from the group who had been adoring here just seconds earlier. Several members of the group with congratulate Glaceon with tricking the group, as to not come over as salty, but in several of their next action, it became obvious that they took it personally. As a pumpkin event they would raid the SR base John was residing and would often talk him down chat whenever possible. Despite the hate he was getting from one group, he was also proclaimed the hero of the event for his actions and sacrifice. While the event would only exist for 24 hours, his legacy would live on for this.

## Aftermath

Thanks to John and the careful planning of the organization of the event, the 24 hour timestampt would be reached without any major incident occurring, for the first time in the event's history. As per usual, a vote was held on what to do with the area now the event was over. Like last time the option was given between leaving the place be or blowing it up. Unsurprisingly, the majority voted to keep the event ground intact for a second time and the location was left for good that day. Despite relatively little destruction occurring since, most players have closed the page on the event and are instead looking forward to the next gathering.
