A Look At "Luna's Nightmare Night" Pony Ghostbusting Game

 

Before closing out the Halloween season, the Newser took a look at one of the more interactive Halloween events.  This was "Luna's Nightmare Night," a game in the Luna's Empire Events sim. In this game, the Ghostbuster's connection is obvious with the proton guns. You can pick them up, along with the HUD and map, at several vendors around the sim, one near the entrance at  (50/36/14).

 

I had a few words with EmpresLuna Starchild, the game's owner.  She told me she had wondered if turnout would be smaller than last year, but it's gotten bigger with over 1,100 different players, with over 65 *million* candies, the tokens awarded in the game, given out.

To get the candies, one goes around with the gun to hunt down ghosts. You weaken them by zapping them with the gun, and when their resistance reaches zero, a trap appears under them and the ghost is caught. And you get a few candies as a prize. But if a ghost touches you, you get slimed and won't get as much candy. As you get slimed more, your vision will look greener and gunkier until it reaches 100%, after which you'll need to wash in a fountain or get the help of a cleaner (more on that later). Some ghosts are tougher than others and will need multiple players to take on. 

You can exchange the candies for prizes. This year, there's a lot more variety in the gifts available. And they're not just for ponies. One can get a copy of Ecto-1 for 50,000 candies.

The green slime boss from last year is still around. But there's another boss monster. A pony farmer NPC will ask for some help in trying to take care of some haunted pumpkins. And then Luna shows up to pull something truly dastardly. And it's up to you, and the other 'busters, to save the day. And you get hundreds of candies (if you're not too slimed) for doing it.

When I was there, a number of ponies were doing a video. EmpresLuna told me the title was "Bustin' Luna," and should be up soon.

This is the last day scheduled for the Ghostbusting game. So if you haven't, get in on this Halloween fun.

Announcement: Bid a Nightmare to End The Nightmare

Madonna Daehlie has never been one to shy away from a challenge for the Relay for Life. Known for her rubber suits, DJ Madonna  certainly stands out as a unique personality among the Relayers. But if anyone thought she was scary before, they should see her now as she resembles a human/spider hybrid as part of a fundraiser: "Bid a Nightmare to End The Nightmare That is Cancer."

Madonna has been injected with something awful and it gave her spider arms like from "Nightmare on Elm street." What was the mad woman in the sweater said? "Live a nightmare to end a nightmare like cancer."  So 20K for each week you wanna see Madonna bugged out!

The kiosk one can donate to for Madonna's "Nightmare" challenge is at Silver Creek (213, 199, 3301)
