Full moon

It might be possible that by full moon they mean the Halloween maps. They mysteriously grouped all 3 together on the "start playing" screen, and all three maps have a full moon in the sky.

The more I think about it, I think this is what they meant. Any specific confirmation on their intentions? Did they say the new restriction meant real full moons?

It just says "Holiday restriction: Halloween/Full Moon" on the items in question. Guess we'll find out in a few days. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 04:10, 2 November 2011 (PDT)

I believe it was confirmed by a reliable source that it refers to the calendar events. There are also full moons on maps like Pipeline, and that wouldn't make much sense to allow costumes there all the time. — Ten19 [T|C] 09:33, 2 November 2011 (PDT)

It has been confirmed that the items will be equippable for 2 days around each full moon. Something is being worked on to display this information on the wiki. —Moussekateer·talk 09:36, 2 November 2011 (PDT)

Table format

I don't know if there is a guideline regarding this, but I am wondering if the format for the Halloween / Full Moon restricted items should be changed from a list-like table to a more table-like table? Like the list of Haunted items which aside from about 11 items (7 Haunted + non-restricted) (4 restricted + non-Haunted) is near identical. Given the items are from about 6 separate updates the list takes up like 95% of the page in it's current form. Tasty Salamanders (talk) 07:10, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

I agree, This page needs cleanup. Also mention of minor holiday effects like recent April Fools Day would be nice.-- Akolyth (talk) 13:01, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

 Agree I played during the April Fools Day, never noticed anything. :( Write it up so I can know what I missed and feel even worse.

Nutshell or Table in the Lead

I think the lead should have a minimalist list of the holidays where one or more things change in the game (I'm thinking of the anual Rick May memorial)

Is anything activated in-game for April Fools?

I'd make a table with 2 columns, one that says the holiday's name and the other that's the effects applied (I can do this too if you want to). April Fool's makes it so you have a chance to do the Schadenfreude every time you taunt.

I've sandboxed Template:List of holidays. Please, comment.

Minor holidays

I think we should make a section mentioning and explaining minor holidays. As far as I know, these are:

• Valentines Day (February 14, special MOTD)
• April Fools (April 1, chance of replacing default taunts with the Schadenfreude + special MOTD)
• Rick May's Memorial (April 8, the Soldier statue appears in other maps)

A simple paragraph explaining when and how each one works would do it, in my opinion; no need for a subsection for each one. - BrazilianNut (talk) 14:57, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

  Agreed.
