[FINISHED EVENT] Halloween Trivia Challenge!

Hey all of you Halloween fans! I’m personally holding a small event to test your Halloween knowledge, all heading up to the Halloween patch. Here’s the deal, for every day, when I have time, I will put up a nice little “trivia” question related to Halloween. Be it Cross Fire related or not, it’s up to you to answer it by all means.

Here’s the deal, I will release some type of trivia question, the latest one will be in ORANGE, and will most likely be the latest one on the list. Answered questions will be ITALICIZED, and the person who answered it will have their name after the “Answered by” clause. The first person to post the answer wins the amount of points specified on the question. The second person will not, it’s merely the first person to answer.

If the question requests for an image, you HAVE to post the exact image, with the exact same image host and image location link. If it’s not that, you lose.

Rules

No double posting [each post may not have an answer]
One answer per post
You cannot edit the post 5 minutes after [if it shows “Forumer” has edited message, you’re out].
You can have some chat on the thread, but don’t fill it with your life stories
All forum rules apply
New rule change, you just can't have two answers if you double post. Also, more than one answer will not be accepted any more.
NO COPY AND PASTING.

And yes, there will be rewards for all of you who really love and know Halloween. I have been generously some prizes, and I’m just itching to give them out to you.

Prizes are as follows, and may be subjected to change depending on the amount of questions asked:
  • First place, accumulating the most amount of points - 5K Z8 Points
  • Second place, accumulating the second most amount of points - 3K Z8 Points
  • Third place, accumulating the third most amount of points - 1K Z8 Points
  • To anybody accumulating over 10 points - 1K GP [your forum account will be PM’ed the code]
The contest will end the day of the patch, I’m not telling when, nor will I give any warning. Questions will be updated every time the question is answered.
