What's this? Tj's back again? I don't know where I was going with this, I was trying to build hype, so pretend I said something exciting cuz it's time for YET ANOTHER TRICK OR TREAT HIT ANNOUNCEMENT WOOO!!!

I said I'd be doing announcements throughout the week, it's still technically this week. I'll probably do another tomorrow then one over the weekend maybe, I don't know. The important thing is: Make sure to READ THE INFO ABOUT THE QUAL AND GET THE QUALIFICATION OR ELSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THIS HITS. I've also gotten a LOT of donations to that paypal pool, which is super freaking awesome, it's up to $59! As Halloween comes up I'll try to balance pay and number of HITs based on the number of people who have the qual, so make sure you request it so I know about how much the money should be divvied up!

For those who don't know what Trick or Treat hits are, here's a little explanation in this spoiler:

How do you participate? Well I'm glad that you asked! I have a QUALIFICATION you'll need to request in order to participate. I'm going to include this qualification information in every single posting I make about these HITs, PLEASE READ IT! If you're already familiar with how things go it should be easy, but I swear every year I get people who mess it up. Please take the time to read it, you have time. Also, please don't forward the qualification information around. I want this qual to be restricted to the communities who've been so helpful to me in the past. I don't really want random people to have the qual. It helps keep the pool smaller and gives more people the opportunity to play!

With that being said, here's the qualification information:

As usual, this is a thing I do for fun, and may break. If you run into issues please let me know, but hopefully it'll be pretty easy. I've don this several times in the past and I don't expect any problems, but just in case, be patient. Also, the 50/50 chance is actually random. This is the code I use to determine whether people are tricked or treated: $approve = (rand(1,10) >= 6) ? true : false; That means "generate a number between 1 and 10, and if the number is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, then approval is 'true'. If the number is 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, the approval is 'false'". So there are 5 chances to "treat" and 5 chances to "trick". I could probably just do a simple binary true/false instead of a number between 1 and 10, but I like that method better.

I know I'm a little late this year but it's been rough to schedule things. I'm planning on running 3 hits per week, starting on Monday, 10/19/2020. The dates and times will be TBD (and I like being able to switch it up a bit). As usual, if you win you will be granted a qual that will make you ineligible for the next HIT posted. Don't worry about it though, if you can see the trick or treat hit, you can accept the trick or treat hit.

Finally, as usual, I'm hoping to do a bigger HIT on Halloween day as well. I usually pay a little better for that one, and put more HITs out there. If you want to donate to increase the pot, you can contribute to the pool here https://paypal.me/pools/c/8tkqnwbZjq PLEASE NOTE! Donating WILL NOT increase your chances of winning. There will still be a larger Halloween HIT, but in the past people have expressed interest in making it "bigger", so I started taking donations for that. All money donated will be going into Mechanical Turk and will be distributed as part of the Halloween HITs, I can provide proof if you really don't trust me.

Happy Halloween Everypony, and good luck!

P.S. This announcement will be posted several times over the next week. I'll try to capture everyone, but the qual information will also be posted with the HIT announcements too.

An easy simple one. Bubbles. A few easy written bits. Explain what you mean. I didn't see how that was needed. Redundant.... Just a little sex thrown in to keep you awake....or not. You know all the answers, 'case you seen them all before...sorta like sex. HA! Maybe 25 min. I didn't rush. I mean, how much sex do I get at my age? Although this might be considered on the outskirts of the City of Vicarious.
