Stop What You Are Doing: Halloween Edition
The 58th SWYAD was held during this event. Like past Octerror Fests, the theme was to change your username to something Halloween themed. Whoever participated got 10 pieces of candy on the scoreboard.
Hooky 6: 10 Years Later
Hooky returned after six years and unlike the past editions where it was contained in a single roleplaying game thread, this was overarching throughout the event using other games. The following users participated: dman, WhoBob, Prez, Winter (The Fisherman), Carotte, Mythix, SOF and Zaid. It occurred during the first week of Octerror Fest, starting with the first Jackbox on October 13th. Whoever won a game would be immune from death that night and had a chance to slay The Fisherman if they correctly knew their identity. The winner in the end was Prez who successfully slayed Winter by winning the Pictioanry game on October 18th. He received the Hooky Champion badge, 30 candy, 2,000 doubloons and 300 experience points for winning.
