The Event Sucks

Either you sit around and mine for five hours or spend 100,000 cubits for a single mash. Boring and frustrating.

This taken from the Bible " do all things pleasing unto The Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." This means if we strive to only gain $$ we will always do better to help those who we are meant to help and the $$ will come to us.
Given this years mining event is hampered by complete darkness, Use torches to see where you are going & to use the compass to know where you are at.
We get ghost bombs while mining. Use torches by the ghosts, then bomb them.
Use the information here on forum to know where to get the candies.
To sum it up: when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. If you don't want lemonade, play a different game where you get sweet tea.
Side effect of dark mines is that CC got its wish to eliminate side mining. ALL ores quest are on hold while side mining is unavailable so we all will lose 50c per day. This will hurt nubs as well as miners who depend on cubits from mining. If yall did not play years ago SirKewberth called side mining "cheating" and took it away until most of us complained. I do believe this event will be a turning point of deciding to play cc or not for some. IMO this is not the way to get the desired $$ CC seeks.
Getting candys is pretty fun to me.
New pets is something everyone’s always asking for, and we got some cool ones.
I think lots of people have been upset at the over-abundance of Halloween items like the good/bad parts, so there’s not quite as many so they’re not worth basically nothing, which is pretty good too I think.
There are a bit less than I would have liked, but I still like it.
*edit: I have been mining today and it looks like the ratios have changed, so you get more. This is better I think, so there's no problem there for me anymore*
I think the darkness in the mines is a bit much, but with some torches it’s ok, and combined with the ghosts it adds a nice Halloween aesthetic which I like a lot.
And since most people can afford trick or treating baskets, that provides an easy way to participate without needing to mine for hours.
I think logistically this Halloween event makes a lot of sense and I might be in the small minority but I personally like it a lot.
But mining 5000+ blocks and not getting a machine part is disappointing, considering people have other things to do outside of cubic castles. The event is really heavily in favor of people with expendable cubits, whereas newer players are struggling, which is unforuntate.
Also the ghost bomb aspect of the event seems like filler at this point.
Soon I will be buying my 10th mouse soon, since playing CC for 4.5 years. FYI mice have approx 20 million clicks life expectancy. I get asked to prove I am human WAY TOO many times.
