Do you have to run the event maps specifically to get the drops? Sorry
if this seems dumb, but I had my male period hiatus last year and did
not play TF2 or follow it for that matter from October thru January of
this year...

Peace to you and the others who made us feel more stupid than we

You're not reading the entire article then, and only skipping to the
parts you don't like.
The article is about how to setup your server to be quickplay enabled.
Part of that process is that you have to register your servers - but
that's the only part you have to follow to be eligible for the
Halloween stuff.
There's no criteria for your servers to be registered. The only thing
that cares about "as vanilla as possible" is the quickplay matchmaking
system. Nowhere does it say anything about that with just registering
your server.
How is this a hard concept to understand.
