Many of us wish that Halloween could be celebrated all year, but alas, it’s now time for colder weather and more sparkly holidays are quickly approaching.

Do not fear, because thanks to the smash hit Haunted Mansion NFT, you can keep the Halloween cheer alive in your heart (and your Town Star town) all year long.

The End is Nigh

That’s right. At the end of November, the spooky wonder of the Haunted Mansion will suddenly vanish from the Town Star store in the same way the ghostly Headless Horticulturist vanishes after delivering his pumpkins from the Haunted Porch to the Silo.

That means that you have approximately 2 weeks left as of this post to pick up your Haunted Mansion pieces. There are no guarantees that the Haunted Mansion will be back next year. Who knows? We may decide never to release it again, but go with some new kind of creepy Town Star building instead.

The Haunted Mansion

For you vampires who missed Galaween because you slept right through it in your cozy coffins, the Haunted Mansion is the first custom build modular NFT in Town Star. That means that you can build it in any formation you like, from a row of terrifying Haunted Graveyards to a labyrinthian Haunted Fortress of towers.

Each piece of the Haunted Mansion provides passive oil to surrounding industrial buildings, and the Haunted Porch also produces pumpkins on a timer.

Additionally, every one of these items (as a player-owned NFT) allows you to potentially earn TOWN daily in TSP2E, as long as you complete your Daily Challenges and have the appropriate Gala Power level.

Hurry and get your Haunted Mansions while you still can! Once there’s room in the Town Star store, we’ll be almost ready to bring in the next exciting and sweet round of seasonal NFT fun!

After running for the last 24 hours, it is clear that the majority of the nodes who have voted in this last governance vote have elected to maintain some semblance of rewards for one-time referrals. Slightly over 71% elected to make the one-time reward >0. Furthermore, as of writing, 2781 votes (47.5% of the votes cast) elected to leave the structure as it is, with a one-time referral bonus of 10 points. This number will be integrated into the next major node release in January.

For the next 24 hours, the following vote will be active on the node network:

Question: How much of an ongoing referral bonus do you believe is fair for referring a node purchaser to the Gala Node Ecosystem? (Note: these figures are expressed as a % of the rewards received by a node operator)

• 0% — You get nothing extra for referring a new node operator
• 5% — You get something, but less than the current structure
• 10% — You receive a bonus in points which is similar to the current structure
• 15% — You believe that ongoing referral bonuses are essential to growing the ecosystem

This is a very important question for the “one time referral bonus” structure.

Tomorrow, depending on the results of this vote, another vote may take place:

Question: If the node operators elect to continue the long-term ongoing referral bonuses, how many levels deep should this bonus extend?

So, get your nodes online and be ready to participate in the voting!

Things are really heating up in the Spider Tanks arena for the US Node Owner Tournament, which enters its third night of matchups tonight!

After the preliminary rounds are completed this evening, half the US teams will be eliminated and the quarterfinal round can begin!

Last night, the action was lived streamed on Youtube. If you missed it, you can catch up with the replay videos below!

The Bracket

Tonight, we’re finishing out the preliminary round with the last two matchups, then getting into the first battles of the Quarterfinals!

First we’ll see the 4 teams who have had to wait patiently through the first two days of mayhem, watching the competition and (hopefully) getting psyched. Now’s their chance to step up and show the Spider Tanks world what they can do! Team Discovery Channel vs Smooth Hiro at 4pm PST, followed by 21stDigital vs Disco Spiders at 6pm PST.

Then at 9pm PST, it’s time for the first battle of returning victors from day 1, Immediate George vs The Lone Tankers to kick off the Quarterfinals.
