Theme Weeks: Each week of OcTWPerfest has a different theme celebrating the strange and macabre! We celebrate these weeks by changing the regional decorations, discussing our favorites of the genre on the RMB, and decorating our nations! This year's theme weeks are:
-The Wicked Pacific- - Classic Halloween goodness: witches, jack-o-lanterns, ghouls, and ghosts, this week has it all!
-The Wicker Pacific- - The unsettling and sinister: cults, occultism, witchcraft, and fiery effigies!
-The Wolf Pacific - You know 'em, you love 'em: it's all about werewolves!
-The Watching Pacific- - Cosmic entities beyond our understanding always watching, churning, pulling, and plucking. They are never far from us, though we would never notice, except sometimes...
-The Walking Pacific- - Gear up for Z-Day's impending zombie apocalypse with decay and death!
Monthlong happenings:
Old Man Bran's Pumpkin Patch: Get yourself a prime pumpkin made just for you! Ask Bran Astor or quote the linked post on the RMB and we'll get you taken care of!

Monster Prom with the Pacific: We're putting on a Monster Prom for the ages with our friends in the Pacific! Bring your best costume Oct 24th-27th on Discord (server invite TBA) for a ghoulish, ghastly, and gossip-full prom weekend!
Z-Day: Team Cure vs. Team Kill: It's so difficult to decide what to do each Z-Day, so we're both curing and killing this time! All Z-Day participants will choose a team via regional poll, either Cure or Kill, and whichever team performs the best will be crowned the winner! Just make sure to bring lots of band-aids.
