<p>
	Key points:
</p>

<p>
	WHEN : FEB 18 and weekly after that, at 8PM EASTERN
</p>

<p>
	WHERE: Tatooine, exact location announced as it starts to preserve the surprise
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The Snackcrawler, a Tatooine Food Truck, is going to be making it's first appearance tomorrow (Feb 18) evening , with the doors opening around 8PM Eastern time.  Each week, the Snackcrawler will appear at a different location - I'm aiming for the places people have never been... the places where you say,"Gee, I didn't know this was here!" 
</p>

<p>
	I'll send out the waypoint as the event starts, but it's just a shade over 2KM from a starport.  Not a long slog through the wilderness. 
</p>

<p>
	This particular location has a whole bunch of Imperial NPCs, so if you're a Rebel, keep it covert, eh?
</p>

<p>
	There's an Imperial quest giver at the location, and Imp and BH mission terminals, so you can have some fun from here. 
</p>

<p>
	Souvenirs will be handed out by members of House Azure.
</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
	 
</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
	<span style="font-size:18px;">It's that time of year, where we share our harvest, cooperate with our friends and family to put together a bountiful meal that we can all enjoy.  This weekend, you'll find a fest table in the heart of Coronet.  It begins barren, with no food at all.  You may see flocks of wild Pharples running around Coronet this weekend as well!  Those Pharples will drop food items that you can share with the community feast table.  The table requires many items in order to be "full:"</span>
</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
	<span style="font-size:18px;">Acorns, Almakian Apple Pie, Arguez Sausage, Ashkar, Bantha Patties, Bantha Rump Roast, Bantha Stew, A Sprig of Banthaweed, Bestinian Tang Root, Blue Milk, Blueleaf Shrub, A Blumfruit, Brualki Brisket, Charbote Root, Cligs, Crumblebuns, Custard Bread, Denta Beans, Dewback Steak, Domit Pie, A Dricklefruit, Gin-Jang Berries, Hwotha Berries, Jerba Cheese, A Kavasa Fruit, Kibla Greens, Kommerken Steak, Luptoomian Dressing, Muja Fruit, Necr'ygor Omic Wine, Nerf Casserole, Nuna Bacon, Oi-Oi Puff, Oonberry Pie, Para-Rolls, Phraig, Qana Beans, Qrikki, Roast Shatual, Rootleaf Stew, Shaak and Cheese Sandwich, Spiceloaf, A Stinkmelon, A Sunfruit, Sweet-Sand Cookies, Topatoes, Traladon Ribs, Trig-Berries, Wastril Breadsticks, Wuli Nuts, and a Wyykmelon.</span>
</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
	<span style="font-size:18px;">Once all of the required items have been added, everyone who has made a contribution may claim a reward from the plentiful feast table!</span>
</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
	<span style="font-size:18px;">The table will accept duplicate items as well.  Even if the item you wish to contribute has already been placed on the table, your contribution adds up points - one point per item contributed.  If players as a whole contribute enough items, more rewards will become available.  There are rewards for 200 items contributed, 500 items contributed, 1000 items contributed, and 2000 items contributed!</span>
</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
	<span style="font-size:18px;">We hope everyone will generously contribute their foods to the community feast table!  Happy Thanksgiving!</span>

	<img alt="somethingspooky.png" class="ipsImage" data-ratio="60.12" height="517" width="860" src="https://home.tarkinswg.com/images/tarkinarticles/halloween_2019/somethingspooky.png"></p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	It's a spooky time of year, and we've created a spooky haunted dungeon for you all to conquer!  Check out <a href="https://home.tarkinswg.com/index.php/articles-4/31-halloween-2019" rel="">this post</a> on our website detailing where you'll find the haunted dungeon, and what kind of rewards you can get for making it to the bottom.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Some notes regarding the Halloween costumes (skeleton &amp; undead) - they don't work exactly like the roleplay species costumes.  They are meant to be more temporary, and as such, they don't persist past logout, and due to some quirks with some of the species, they have some slight differences.
</p>

<blockquote class="ipsQuote" data-gramm="false" data-ipsquote="">
	<div class="ipsQuote_citation">
		Quote
	</div>

	<div class="ipsQuote_contents ipsClearfix" data-gramm="false">
		<p>
			If you use a Halloween costume, your clothes and hair disappear until you:<br>
			    -take the clothes off/put them back on (clothes)<br>
			    -image design yourself (hair/horns/lekku)<br>
			    OR<br>
			    -travel (both)
		</p>

		<p>
			This may be desirable, or it may not.  Skeletons with hair look kind of dumb, but undead with hair can look normal.  Lekku on undead won't match the skin tone of the undead model.
		</p>

		<p>
			Another player who has traveled (re-zoned) or logged in after you used the costume will see you the same as if you had traveled (e.g. with clothes and hair).
		</p>

		<p>
			<br>
			To mitigate:
		</p>

		<p>
			If you don't want to appear to anyone as wearing clothes (such as with the skeleton costume), take your clothes off.
		</p>

		<p>
			If you don't want to appear as having hair/horns, and you are a species/gender that can, image design yourself to be bald at times when you want to wear the costume.

<p>
	<span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span style="font-size:16px;">[This event will go live Friday 7/5/2019 sometime around 6:30 CST]</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span style="color:#33ffff;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Paradym and Liakhara are getting married!  But all of the items they need for their wedding have been misplaced.  Talk to the wedding coordinator in Coronet (just outside the starport) to help them get this show on the road.</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	There will be rewards for successful completion, and you can complete the scavenger hunt once per character.
</p>

<p>
	<img alt="QEc2vAX.jpg" class="ipsImage" data-ratio="119.58" height="750" width="627" src="https://i.imgur.com/QEc2vAX.jpg"></p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<font color="#33ffff"><span style="font-size: 20px;">In addition, it has been rumored that Liakhara turns husbands into man-shaped husks.  It seems unlikely that there is any validity to these claims, but the presence of several oddly man-shaped beings inside the city limits of Coronet, Theed, and Mos Entha does call this into question...</span></font>
</p>

<p>
	These poor creatures will be in-spawn for a week, and will be very nice for the pocketbooks of those who can kill them.  (They drop cash only, no loot.)
</p>

<p>
	<img alt="AojgljY.jpg" class="ipsImage" data-ratio="149.89" height="679" width="453" src="https://i.imgur.com/AojgljY.jpg"></p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Note: </strong>The wedding coordinator droid will give you a photographic image and a verbal hint to get you started as you look for each item.  The maps in the post below will be invaluable for finding each location.  In addition, it is highly recommended to download the POI maps mod (which will be hosted and available later today).  This will override your normal in-game maps with these special POI maps.  If you use them for the event, feel free to delete them afterwards if you don't wish to use them for normal play.
</p>

<p>
	<strong>To install the mod: </strong>
</p>

<p>
	1) Download the POI Maps mod<span style="color:#e67e22;"> <a href="https://tarkinswg.com/tre/POI_Maps.zip" rel="">LINK</a></span>.<br>
	2) Navigate to the folder where your Tarkin's Revenge installation of SWG is located.<br>
	3) Open the <span style="color:#66ff66;">texture</span> folder (if you have one) or create one if you don't, and open it.<br>
	4) Unzip the POI Maps mod into this texture folder - directly inside, no subfolders.<br>
	5) Close all open clients and re-open them, if you had any open.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<font color="#33ffff"><span style="font-size: 20px;">And finally, as a special wedding gift to all of you players - along with this update, you will be granted one more character slot, for a total of FIVE characters on Tarkin's Revenge!</span></font>
