HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYPONY! I can't believe it's been a year since the last time I did this. It's been a crazy year, thank you to everyone who participated and sent me their kind words (and angry ones after you got tricked). I also want to thank everyone who contributed to the pot. In all, it topped out at $75! That's awesome, and it means a lot that people would contribute like that. All together I had $123.18 to put towards this HIT. As such, I've both increased the HIT number and the pay slightly. I asked a few communities and the feedback generally leaned towards 150 hits at $0.58 each, so that's where we're at. I also floated the idea of changing the weighting of the tricks vs the treats, but I think I'm going to leave it at 50% chance. Mainly because I know it's working, and I don't want to make a change and make it live without fully testing it on the off chance I break something. Maybe next year I'll play with the idea of "second chance" HITs, or different probabilities on different days, etc. But until then, I'm sticking with the tried and true 50/50.
Anyway, enough about all that. Here's the HIT information. Again, thank you to everyone who participated. This HIT should be up for about a week, so I'll be bugging people to get it done. Anything that's not done within that time frame will be randomly distributed as bonuses or something, I don't know.

For those who don't know what Trick or Treat hits are, here's a little explanation in this spoiler:
Hit structure
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.
Happy Halloween Everypony, and good luck!
