Trick or Treat?!

You guys are giving me a frightening choice, and I don't want to know what will happen if trick will be chosen, so here are my treats:
It's been long coming, but I'd like to remind everyone that I'm being enlisted on the 29th of October, so I won't be here (except some Saturdays) for the upcoming month or two. I can foresee the amount of fun people are about to have now that feared dragon is not here ;)
To begin the fun, MBG WRR #4 is getting to public very soon, and will be posted once a week (or so), which is excellent news since everyone is waiting for it. With 64 levels improved since MBG WRR #3, this is very exciting to see the optimizations done to so many levels. To give you an idea of how much community support we had, here are some stats:
In the first rampage we had 3 runners - Xelna and myself dominated, with Andrew Patterson giving us a video for Space Slide.
Second rampage we still had three people - Xelna dominated and Dushine and I contributed.
Third rampage included 6 runners - Xelna, Dushine, iMac, Sporlo, Sonic Warrior1 and yours truly.
This rampage we have 14 (!) runners to thank to: Xelna, Kalle29, Gabriel 'Powerjohn25' Inocencio, Regislian, Remy 'Dushine' Dushime, BlastedMarble, Ji Hoon 'iMacmatician' Chun, Moshe, Trevor 'm2mm4m' Davidson, Asuul, Henry 'Sonic Warrior1' Mullhall, Jonathan 'Sporlo' Hynes, Mason 'Nihahhat' Langenderfer and Stewart 'StewMan46' Inglis.
Yesterday a patch for MBP 1.50 RC2 had been released. It adds a Dedicated Server Control Panel to both Tsuf and Thistle, giving the host the ability to change the following: amount of players that can play, whether ratings will be enabled, and whether to do Force Spectators.
Once the host leaves the dedicated server, the options will reset back to default.
Last but not least, MBP 1.50 will make its Final build release by the time I have to leave, which is very exciting. Like the first MBG WR Rampage, MBP too was started in 2006, and 8 years later it still is rocking the community. It is unfortunate I won't have time (and inspiration) to finish the levels I wanted to do (e.g. new Time Modifier Race), but I have talked to HiGuy and we will be patching the game in the upcoming months with not only just levels, but to further enhance the Multiplayer section with new game modes. More exciting information will be revealed in the upcoming months, so stay tuned.
To celebrate everything, I will be unleashing the four fabled PlatinumQuest Multiplayer levels to the community - for a limited time between the 29th and 31st of October (inclusive), anyone may play these levels without the need for the achievements requirement.
Happy Halloween to all, and enjoy Marble Blast,
Matan

Hey folks,
It's that time of year where the cold weather starts descending upon us and the mist rolls into the town in the dark of night. The leaves change colors, the days get shorter, and the frightening silence of midnight becomes empowered with an eerie aura. Even in the world of Marble Blast, things aren't always what they seem to be...
Starting today, October 13th, 2014 through November 1st, 2014, you will want to keep your eyes open for Aayrl. Posing as the Great Pumpkin, vast riches and glorious trophies may be earned throughout the Halloween season if you play some brand new custom levels on the Spookbox Derby multiplayer server. Join the Great Pumpkin as we parade through spectacular parties, roll through mysterious forests, and bounce around dusty cemeteries!
Don't let the dead of night scare you away, as we'll be hosting a couple of Marble Trivia events throughout the month of October. Keep your eyes on the Website Shoutbox for three-hour warnings of upcoming trivia events for your chance to win additional achievements and some other delicious goodies.
Still not satisfied? Join us on October 23rd at 7:00 PM EST (00:00 UT) for an all out brawl against some of the bravest the University of Vermont has to offer! We'll be playing various Marble Blast Multiplayer maps with an open UVM versus Marble Blast teams-based tournament. Think you have what it takes to topple UVM?
We hope everyone will have a chance to partake in these events. Don't be shy, the crypts are delightful!
