And here's a triple-post, but I have new information. So far, I've been unable to use the Eternaween enchantment on any of my registered, Quickplay-eligible servers. I did successfully use it on a Valve server, however, and the vote passed.
The tf_item_based_forced_holiday cvar was set to 2 when the vote succeeded (it was 0 before, I checked). Attempting to set this cvar to 2 via the console just makes it revert back to 0. Sending the value 2 to clients via a plugin doesn't appear to do anything. When it was enabled via the item + vote, Halloween items were enabled, the Thriller taunt was activated, and health packs turned into cauldrons. This appears to simply be a device to enable forced Halloween mode. I have been unable to find a cvar or any other method which which to enable the use of the enchantment item. When using the item on a Valve server, the vote appeared as "Server wants to call a vote", not coming from any user. The vote also failed the first time, but I was able to re-use the item to call the vote again immediately afterwards, which should probably be fixed.
