#### Zilleoween was great: Now, what about Glitchmas?

(Naturally this belongs in the Ideas area, but more people read the general forum so I would like to leave it here for just a bit if that's ok.)
Like everyone, I had great great fun with pumpkins and candy. So much so that I would like to solicit ideas for the fast-approaching Glitchmas holidays.
My #1. Decorated trees that act like Gnomes. Rather than grow in a patch or a plot they would grow in pots. The pot might be a random reward which you then have to water. If it would play holiday music when your neighbors walk past it that would be a bonus.

- The best part about Zilloween were the group activities. Giving out candys for example.
  If there is a Glitchmas, I would hope for something similar: Trees that can only be decorated together, for example. :)

- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  It's 6:45AM UK GMT I have been up all night dishing out religiously 1 candy at a time. Although I enjoyed much my time in somewhat sump - I am so disheartened not to have gotten past the 3rd badge and doubt very much I will make the elusive 200+ badge let alone 400+ PLEASE make xmas kinder or a least a kinder version along side the maniacal side - both could work - couldn't they??
  NO! Oh well, I said my piece - *shrugs and walks off into a very sad and lonely place*

- If I am not mistaken, the 400+ badge was never really meant to be completed within just "one" Zilloween, but something to look forward for next year. ;)
  (Although some people might have gotten it.)

- If it snowed in a few places that would be magical.

- Good grief, this is just like the stores that started putting up trees and snow two weeks ago. I want to enjoy the current holiday while it's here. Just WAIT FOR IT. The next one will be along soon enough.

- LMBO oh Mereret never a truer word written but since 11 months of my life has flown by since last xmas and we are in November not October, it may well be prudent to start thinking about game strategy since RL is going to be hectic enough for most.

- It would be so glitchtastic if they could make it snow, even tho if it was just a snow script running on top of the screen, I would love that.
  And of course X-Max trees, maybe we could grow them in certain places?

- it would be so FANTASTIC if we didn't all start putting up christams decorations before halloween is even over.
  like maybe wait until advent? please?

- I didn't say Glitchmas should start now, I just wanted to stimulate discussion. Imagining takes time.

- Remember the various time zones, people. For those of us in the US, for example, it is still Halloween for quite a few more hours. We are not in November yet.

- Um, people, hello. Splanksgiving?
  Posted 14 months ago by Xev | Permalink
- I love Never's idea.
  Posted 14 months ago by Evadrepus Terramere | Permalink
- I like the idea of a Glitch-giving feast! Something like the candy party but not as intense.
  Posted 14 months ago by River Bell | Permalink
- oh giant
  Splanksgiving. I'll save a couple pies.

- @Nevet: It would be interesting to add one firefly to it every night.
  Also, Glitchmas lights would be nice.

- while i would love more seasonal festivities as much as the next glitch, i would hope that the frentic pace of that other parallel universe does not creep into Ur.
  i would also note that not all glitchen celebrate the same holidays in that 'other' universe. indeed, some do not even celebrate at all 'over there'.
  although i am sure there will be some commonalities:
  do the seasons change in Ur??? (Since i was imagined it has always seemed like summer.) if it does snow in Ur, i imagine (ah, I mean the Giants might) that glitchen might like to make snowpeople, or even snow piggies, chickens, etc.
  and, if there is a big party at the winter solstice (if there IS a winter solstice; with [at least] two suns it's hard to say) or some other calendar event during the cold, dark months-- there might be food, and decorations, and music and gift giving--because glitchen seem to love a good party. maybe the Giants will imagine it as well.
  i await further imaginings...

- I WANT A SNOW PIGGY for winter solstice. Pleasssssssssssssssssssssse?

- I'm not sure about Glitchmas, but I noticed the Glitch Calendar has a holiday called Recurse Eve, followed by a one-day month called Recurse. Is this our New Years equivalent? Hopefully that means parties!

- Snowpiggie?
  Heck, I say bring in the Hogfather!
  Posted 14 months ago by Evadrepus Terramere | Permalink
- YAY for the Hogfather!!
  maybe the piggies have their own Giant!?!?!?!?

- I would love "Snow Powder," something that works like Sparkle Powder, maybe a little longer lasting, that gives snowflakes or snowdrifts around players on a stage? ^_^

- I can't believe that we're skipping Thanksgiving. It's clearly the best holiday of the whole year.
  1. You don't have to dress up.
  2. You don't even have to wear real pants.
  3. You don't have to buy presents for people.
  4. You only have to go to one party, so you don't have to find a D.D.
  5. Not like I ever did anyway.
  6. You sit around and watch football all day, and then the entire week afterwards, you don't have to worry about what you're going to eat.

- Yes, desdemona. It's the equivalent of New Year's.

- Although I admit to spending a couple hours in the mosh pit, handing out candy to everyone I passed on the streets (that weren't zipping around on spinach anyway,) was really what made it possible for me to get the Candyglitch.
  I spent a good hour or more there in the throng getting dropped from the various train attempts for some reason even though I put my hands in my RL lap LoL...
  Snowglitchen, and piggies would be great, maybe the wood trees would dress up in firs because of the cold? Well ok, then at least they could put some pinecones on.

- One more thing. Crackers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_cracker Glitchen could "wrap" any two in-game objects into a cracker which would then have to be pulled by two glitchen in order to open it, much the same as is done in RL. A pop would be heard (as in RL.) Each item would randomly fall into the inventory of each of the participating Glitchen. They would be brightly colored and could be given, swapped and traded unopened.
