The Pumpkin Wars

Weaponry:
As mentioned above, points will be scored by throwing pumpkins at others. The four different pumpkins will behave slightly differently:
Pumpkin: guaranteed to hit your target. Grants 1 point to your team if thrown at a member of another team.
Jack-o-lantern: is just as likely to hit or miss your target. Grants 3 points to your team if it hits a member of another team. If thrown at a member of another team and it misses, the other team gets 2 points.
White pumpkin: is slightly more likely to hit than miss your target. Grants 2 points to your team if it hits a member of another team. If thrown at a member of another team and it misses, the other team gets 1 point.
Purple pumpkin: has a random chance of hitting your target. Grants randomly 1-5 points to your team if it hits a member of another team. If thrown at a member of another team and it misses, the other team gets randomly 3-5 points. If thrown at a member of your own team, reduces randomly 3 to 5 points from your team.
If any of the pumpkins are thrown at people not in any team, no points will be awarded. If a person who is not in any team throws a pumpkin at a person who is in a team, no points will be awarded.
Each pumpkin also has a chance of handing out random % hatchlings of three of this year's Halloween creatures regardless of if the thrower or the target are a member of a team or not.
