Calendar/Holidays

(Perhaps this should go into Ideas. I don't know.)

I love the fact that Glitch has its own calendar. So far, not much has been made of it. But with so many holidays, I think we should discuss what each holiday means and how to celebrate them.

AlphCon (Primuary 5th)
Lemadan (Spork 2nd)
Pot Twoday (Bruise 3rd)
Root (Candy 2nd thru 4th)
Sprinkling (Candy 11th)
Croppaday (Junuary 17th)
Belabor Day (Septa 1st)
Zille-o-ween (Remember 37th)
Recurse Eve (Eleventh 11th)

  • Wouldn't you just love to see some dev notes on these?  Root is coming up soon... wish I knew how to celebrate!! :)

  • Candy is sort of the start of "spring" (I think).
    Root makes me think it is tree planting holiday.

  • Since Root is in the month of Candy, it is the holiday we all get a root canal from eating too much candy. :)

  • Nobody seemed to care when it was AlphCon. Clearly we need the devs to lead on this one.

  • The devs have said they have plans on doing special things for the holidays in the future. We'll just have to wait and see what they do when they're ready to implement it. In the mean time you can speculate, but it probably won't have any effect on realty...

  • Yes, I believe during most test the devs are more concerned on how the servers are holding up. We can speculate... and perhaps inspire....

  • I think it's a shame that Widdershins doesn't count backwards from 47 down to 1.

  • Ha dopiaza!!!  Had to google Widdershins.  I like it!!

    ETA:  You should totally post that in the Idea Forum!!

  • +1 Dopiaza! I wonder if the system could do that? That would be amazing.

  • Pot Twoday is equivalent to Carnival, Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday. This gives us all a great excuse to wear masks!

  • It's possible that the next test will coincide with Croppaday. (Junuary 17th, just 14 Glitchy days from now.) This will be followed quickly by Belabor Day. (Septa 1st, 3 days after Croppaday).

    My question is: How are the Glitchren planning on celebrating?

  • Croppa Day should I think be a Harvest Feastaval (pun intended) We should celebrate it by making the best foods, coming together in the community gardens and party till we drop (or drop into Hell and continue the party there) We could all dress as Veggies, Trees and the like.

  • Great idea, Faereluth! Who knows, maybe I can get it together to help with such a Croppaday Feastivul. ;-)

    Belabor Day? According to one dictionary, a meaning of "belabor" is: to beat vigorously; ply with heavy blows. Sounds like a splanking holiday!

  • Happy Lemadan to all those who are observing!

    (i suppose ALL of the glitchlings are fasting atm, since the game is down)

  • Happy Zille-o-ween to all!. I'm so wishing we could go door-to-door and show off our costumes, aren't you?
    Posted 16 months ago by MicklePickle Subscriber! | Permalink
  • As previously stated, Zille-o-ween should involve a viewing of Hocus Pocus. COME LITTLE CHILDREN, I'LL TAKE THEE AWAY, INTO A LAND OF ENCHANTMENT. (That just sounds creepy coming from me but whatevs, lmao.)

  • Creepy - not you Cerulean - like me, not your average (boring) person - but you are too funny to be creepy.  Hugs and read my post on the stilettos we long for.

  • Happy Zille-o-ween from all of us here at Tiny Speck!
    Only 48 more game day minutes to test out some of those crazy new costumes before it counts as Recurse Eve rehearsal;)
