Halloween Slack Attack Wrap-Up

Well I had fun playing some games.  How about everyone else? 

If you were able to ask staff members about their avatars then you already know what to do.  If you missed the Slack Attack altogether, then I'll tell you the deal.

If you log onto InstantAction Nov. 1, or Nov 2, you'll automatically receive the Crappy Candy Avatars.  That's right, free crappy candy avatars.  Take a look.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween.

Halloween Slack Attack

Don't forget that tomorrow you can challenge staff members on all games around InstantAction.  We'll be logged in between 12pm - 2pm PST.

Here's a rundown of some different timezones.

UK - 8pm GMT till 10pm GMT
East Coasters - 3 PM to 5 PM

I found a handy time zone converter.  Unsure of what time to get on?  Check it out.  We're in Eugene, OR USA so compare it to that time zone, Pacific Standard Time.

Halloween Slack Attack

Slacks...get it?

The Halloween Slack Attack

This Friday between 12pm - 2pm PST you'll get your chance to play against the staff.  We've dedicated this time for employees to jump on and beat you guys down in our favorite games.  With us we bring treats...leftover treats.  If you see something odd, be sure to ask about it.  I'll let you know what I'm talking about after the Slack Attack has finished.

Here is the current list of staff members that are participating.  That means you'll be able to find them online and challenge them to a game.  Keep checking back as the list will be updated.
