The Halloween celebration is underway. But unfortunately Clyde is up to his old tricks, literally. He has sabotaged the pub coins! As in many of our special holiday events some pub coins will yield up brew money when you capture them, and for this holiday its twice as much as usual! But there is a catch... you may get tricked instead! Some pub coins are sabotaged and they will actually cost you beer money instead. So you must decide if you want to seek out the brew money treasure on the pub floor while taking the risk of losing your drinking money in the bargain.

Clyde continues to claim that the pub was built on an old Indian burial ground and is haunted, but I think he is just doing that to keep people away so he won't have to work so hard. I am pretty sure that you won't have to fear for your safety in the pub... even if it does get a little spooky sometimes. And of course the pub is the place to be to get your free Halloween candy! The candy has replaced the usual pretzels and they last about twice as long as the ordinary floor pretzel so it should help you drink just a little bit more.

For the Halloween event this year I am adding a couple of additional surprises. Just like at Oktoberfest all keg parties are free. And for the duration of the keg party the party thrower's holiday label will sell at half price. The seller collects full price in brew money but the buyer only pays half price in beer money.

Lastly, although maybe not as elaborate as last year I'd like to hold another contest. The player who sells the most of their holiday label for the duration of the Halloween event will win a free one year label extension on one label of their choice. With all these event give-aways it seems that if you participate enough you may never have to pay a dime to play this game again! This event will run through Thursday night and I'll announce the winner sometime on Friday the day after Halloween.

Cheers!

P.S. Please note that I have fixed some bugs in this patch (the pub floor sounds should be working again) and made a number of internal changes to the way beers are bought and sold in the game engine. These should be completely transparent but if you notice anything wonky then please please let me know. Thanks.
