Mad Queen Malafide.7512

That is wonderful darling! I love the extratyrian twist! Very detailed and I love the use of color.

You can upload it to any website and then put a link to it here.

Turning Balthazar into a villain was one of my favourite soft redcons, or twists, whatever you want to call it. Why would we assume the God of War of all people is a nice guy? In Greek mythology he's not a very nice guy either, so to me it makes total sense. We don't know the exact details of how the other gods were able to strip him of his powers, but I think we can assume Balthazar did not expect them to turn against him. He probably thought he could trust them, but he was betrayed by them... even by Lyssa. So the circumstances are quite different from what happened with Abaddon.

Right now!

170 was already taken, so I've given you number 171.

I've already assigned you number 102. No need to pick new numbers. We will make sure you get a new number if the one you picked is already taken, darling.

What an appropriate account name, darling!

We have a BIG announcement! The first, second and third place winners of the Horrorween Art Contest will each receive an Arenanet Community Chest code in addition to even more amazing prizes. Head over to the thread for more information.

Quick update, the first 3 winners will each receive an Arenanet Community Chest code amongst other things!

The Queen remembers you all fondly. That is a blast from the past. As you can tell, the King and Queen are still going strong, as is the Horrorween. We even kept some classic activities from back then, but there are also plenty of new ones. We hope to see you there!

Due to many Tyrians picking numbers that were already taken, a number you chose may have been auto assigned to someone else. Don't worry about it darlings, you were given another number as well, and the raffle has been extended to 200.

Hopefully you'll tune in with one of the streamers covering the event, and/or join us on Discord. We'll be playing Halloween music all evening and there will be plenty of opportunities to interact with the staff. I also know that some of the streamers will be handing out prizes of their own.

Thanks for pointing that out. It has been corrected.

Number 12 is yours again. Looks like I incorrectly noted another name under 12 before.

Why thank you, darling!

Spread the word darling! An invasion is nigh!

Your name seems oddly appropriate indeed!

This is going to be fantastic! I'm so excited about this year's theme and plot. And to have the wonderful Laranity and CMAJ on board yet again, and with Poet covering the event as well... it is going to be a blast!

THE 17TH KING AND QUEEN'S HORRORWEEN (2022) Invaders from the Mists 🦇 ABOUT Come one - come all to The 17th King and Queen’s Horrorween! Join us in Lion’s Arch, on the 29th of October, starting at 6pm CEST. Tyria's oldest community event returns to the Guild Wars franchise with an adventure of extratyrian terror! The Snowman King on behalf of her majesty Mad Queen Malafide cordially invites you all to attend this otherworldly Halloween adventure. Featuring the famous costume contest, our live in-game band, a dedicated Discord channel where you can interact with our staff and listen to Halloween music, and fan favorite activities! It is not to be missed, try not to get abducted! Prepare for take off! 🦴PLOT FOR 2022 No one would have believed, in the last years of the Elder Dragon cycle, that Tyrian affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of the Mists. No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized as someone with a scrying glass studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few Tyrians even considered the possibility of life on other planes. And yet, across the gulf of The Mists, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded Lion’s Arch with envious eyes, and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us… BOO-WARM BOO-WARM BWAAARM! 🎃 A MESSAGE FROM THE MAD KING Strange lights dance among many a star, moving stranger than mere stars should. Unexpected visitors come from afar, but a resistance begins with pitchforks of wood. An invasion is at hand, from the Mists and beyond. A Queen and Snowman stand, tin foil helmets firmly donned. A crowd gathers around them, An army in the making. As strange invaders approach, A city ripe for the taking. Otherworldly invaders take many a Dolyak, for their experiments, foul and absurd. One question still lingers, will Tyria be ready? to defend their homes, their lives, and their herd? EVENT SCHEDULE - 29TH OCTOBER 6PM CEST 17:30 | The Pre-Party 18:00 | Opening scaremonies 18:30 | Invasion! 19:00 | Thunderchild 19:30 | Close Encounters of the Absurd Kind 20:00 | Ghostly Quartet 20:30 | - 21:00 | The Otherworldly Costume Contest 21:30 | - 22:00 | Blightspeed Beetle-Boost 22:30 | Moa Race 23:00 | Mist Krewe Photo Op 23:15 | Dolyaks in Spaaaace! 23:30 | The Light Phantasmic 00:00 | Grand Finale 00:30 | The After Party / The Community Spirit Award Sponsored Guild(s) Guardians of the Dutch [GOTD] (For donating the vast majority of event prizes & hosting event Discord) [CMAJ] for providing the famous live band "The Ghostly Quartet” United Arts of Tyria [UAoT] for their generous donation. Noteworthy In-Game Activities The Ghostly Quartet Laranity and her ghostly band of interdimensional musicians bring down the house during this incredible live in-game concert. They play all their music live and by hand. No doubt they will lift our spirits during this season of extratyrian dread! It is an event not to be missed! The Otherwordly Costume Contest Dress your spookiest and weirdest at our annual costume contest. Our alien judges from the Klatuu Nebula will judge your Halloween fashion. Best male, female and "Ugly Stick" win special prizes. Dress like an alien invasion is imminent! Blightspeed Beetle-Boost Faster than a crashing meteor and sharper than a thermo-rocket-panel! This race is for the fastest Beetle-racers in the galaxy! Win great prizes and watch those sharp turns, and the flying rolls of toilet paper! Grand Finale Don't miss the spectacular conclusion of the Horrorween; an epic fireworks show! The Community Spirit Award Every year we have a special prize from the vast reaches of the Mists, for one very special Tyrian. Simply attend and bring all your festive spirit to have a shot at this prize. FAQ How do I take part?

All you have to do is attend, take part in the festivities, and fabulous prizes will be in store for you. And try not to get abducted by aliens. Help, I’m not on an EU server, or I can’t make it, or I'm trapped in a horrible wormhole! Not to worry! There are many other ways to take part in the spooky festivities. Just grab your spaceship and join the raffle and art contest on the official forums, or join any of several activities on Discord and on Twitch. A work around is to create a free account, if you win anything big at the event we will gladly mail it across the galaxy to your main account! Twitch Coverage STREAMERS https://www.twitch.tv/mystriouspoetjuh https://www.twitch.tv/laranity CROSS SERVER CONTESTS 🦇THE OFFICIAL ART CONTEST This year there will be another extraordinary Halloween Art Contest with spectacular prizes. To enter, post a Halloween art piece that you created, including one of the event's hosts, or both - retro scifi theme earns you bonus points! More details will be provided in the Art Contest thread, which you'll find right here! PRIZES The first, second and third place winners receive an Arenanet Community Chest code and much more! 🕸️THE RAFFLE Pick a number between 1 and 250, and we’ll randomly draw a winner from that list, during the event. Just pick one number and your character name, and post in this thread which number you’ve chosen. You can’t take a number that has already been picked, and one number per account. Some folks may receive a different number automatically, if they choose a number that is already taken. Without a character name, we can’t send you the prize. Make sure you spell it right. And yes, US players can take part as well! The Raffle may be extended in case of overwhelming interest (more numbers means more winners). The Raffle is now closed!

One would almost think that there is some sort of romantic connection between the two...

So far I am very impressed by this addon. I don't usually actively look for roleplayers, but I am always in character, and it is a delight to know that roleplayers that you encounter (and have this addon installed) can read your character sheet. I highly endorce it. I did encounter one bug however. The pop ups for your own roleplaying details seem to still pop up, even if the Warp window itself is hidden. For people who hold down the right mouse button to move the camera, this can cause the mouse pointer to remain hidden, if they accidentally let go of right mouse button while it is hovering over the invisible Warp window. This can be very annoying mid battle, where you're trying to move the camera, and all of a sudden your mousepointer is gone. And sure, pressing right mouse button again will unhide the mouse pointer, so it is not gone permanently. But it is still annoying when it happens frequently mid battle.

I really like that idea.

It seems especially odd that Bathazar would curse Kormir (the newest of the 6), before cursing Lyssa, who is one of the original gods of Tyria. The dialog strongly implies that he is intentionally leaving Lyssa out. I do not believe it is a mistake on anet's part.
