Trick or treating is great (heck it's how i survive fall fest!) but there's something missing....

Right now there are two options: Treat or Personal Item. There's no "trick". So we're basically just "treat or extra treat"-ing.

My suggestion: Add a trick option. Nothing crazy, like for example on one site I used to play we had trick or treating and our main pet would get a little....interesting. It was reversibile with a quick click of a button. I'm guesing that would be hard to do here with genes and stuff but somethign else, liike I don't know maybe getting your avatar temporarily changed to some kind of trollface for a minute or something? I can't think of anything but I'm sure there's someone with a better idea for a "trick" :)

There could be like a max number of tricks allwoed a day per player both ways, like if youve been tricked once that day you cnat be trickwe d again or if you tricke dosmeone you cna only do it a set number of times per day.

Hehe that's funny.
I think tricks would involved maybe temporarily randomizing colors or something lol. Changing your avi to a fest boss's for like 10 minutes?
just lil cosmetic changes that are timed or something. That'd be fun! xD
OH a trick could change your avi to krin's lol

To be honest, and i know I will probably be the only one, I would prefer to not have this.

Even if the tricks are fun little things like avatar changes etc.. I am just not fond of the idea of 'tricks' being played, (some of that could come from other sites where the tricks might be spiders running all over your screen of course... can't remember the website now, but I have seen things like that).

The other reason I wouldn't really want this is because of the candy. I am trying to get as many handfuls of candy as possible, and, while I love personal gifts, I vastly prefer getting candy. At least with the gifts, I know it came from the person's own hoard.

Going through hundreds or more of doors, only to have a lot of people 'play tricks' on me (even if it isn't personal, they just play tricks on everyone) would upset me, because every person that played a trick is one less piece of candy I can obtain.

(as an aside, I could also see potential for drama when players constantly treat people, but they are constantly tricked by those same people. I don't know if Sylestia has a lot of that type of player, but I know that there have been issues on other sites like this)

I wouldn't be upset if this were added, I just would prefer it to not be.

I think a potential better way would be to give candy with both options, though that might defeat the purpose of having tricks or treats if tricking someone still gave them the 'treat'.

Though having a limit, such as perhaps say being able to trick 10 people per day etc..

I agree with Jemader. I'd rather get cany as well. There used to be something more of a trick I think with the original version and I seemed to recall it involving a contest and I recall feeling it was just awful and time consuming. Not sure how much I'm remembering correctly on it though.

Yep. The original Trick or Treat was a literal game. Players overall didn't really like it that much because there were basically winners/losers with every interaction. Players overwhelmingly preferred the revamped version of Trick or Treat we have today.
