Recurse Eve celebrations

So, by my rough estimate*, it will be Recurse Eve from approximately 10pm to 2am pacific time on Thursday night, followed by the single day of Recurse, after which (at 6am SF time) we will roll over into Year 16!

As the game will be open, how will you be celebrating the holiday?  Will you be creating any new traditions?  What hopes, goals and aspirations do you have for the new year?  Any Year 16 resolutions?

*If somebody could double-check my calculations, it would be much appreciated!

  • I will drink a whole bunch of Cosmopolitans and get that sophisticated feeling... this followed by some wicked good chili and ribs....Glitchian food is divine and you never gain an ounce even if you eat 60 pork loins in one bite.

  • Party time! Spend Recurse with your bestest Glitch friends. "Tonight we're gonna party like it's Year 19." (not quite the same as Prince's version)

  • Yes, let's have a party! :D

  • We needs party hats. And champagne. And noise makers. And fireworks.

  • FrankenPaula - here's what I'm thinking.
     * Midnight to 4am (Central) is "Recurse Eve" (roughly equivalent to the day before New Years Eve)
     * 4am to 8am is the day of Recurse, the last day of the Glitchian year. Thus, equivalent to our New Year's Eve.
     * After 8am, it's a new Glitch year!

  • how about something like taking the day to help make donations to your favorite giant's shrine, whether it's maxing out your donation that day, or giving hallowed powder to assist other donators.

    a traditional Recurse Eve meal? Awesome Stew? Purple Flowers? I'm not knowledgeable as to the depth of the menus available in Glitch yet, perhaps someone else has more suggestions.

  • MicklePickle, aah thanks for explaining that. That means Priumary 1 party on Thursday morning! (anybody who's awake at the recurse eve timezone can have a recurse eve party too of course) In fact, we'll need 3 or 4 parties to make sure everybody gets a chance to join in. :)

    I better spend most of wednesday's play time making coctails & food & growing purple flowers. :)

    So, where?

  • @MicklePickle - is that Midnight to 4 a.m. US CDT (which I believe is UTC -5 right now)  on Friday or Thursday?

  • Thursday, I believe, g33kgurrl. Well... I mean I think it's like 12am Friday morning. But I might be misunderstanding and it is 12am Thursday morning.... so I don't know.

  • lol  :)  

    I try to base dates/times on UTC when it comes to things like games because it makes it really clear to everyone.

  • @g33kgurrl - yes, katlazam has the times and dates correct. This happens over night Thursday and Friday in the North American timezones, and the new year will begin on Friday morning, fairly close to 9am Eastern, 8am Central, 6am Pacific --- 13:00 UTC, Friday

    I'm thinking of sending invites in the form of a TP script to a New Year's dinner for a few friends. I have a big, empty house that needs LOTS of life injected into it. (Of course, a lot of this hinges on how much I can clear off my schedule before test time) I really hope I'm invited to some cool Recurse Eve parties for the nightowls!

    Oh, yeah --- gonna need lots of purple!

  • Hmm...Friday is WFH day and more schedule flexibility. I'm in for at least some of it.

     BTW Is it a coinky dink that the new year is on Canada Day?

  • Man, one time? On Recurse Eve? In the dying days of the 13th age of Pot...Thirteenth?Or 19th. Whichever. Whichever of those was the totally righteous one. In the dying days of THAT era, I heard the most dedicated of the Potians wiped out the entire world stock of hooch before the party was halfway done.What happened?They had to break into the Giants' Private Cavern and “borrow” their stash of Hell WineHell Wine?!?Ya, dude. You know? From those crazy hellish grapes?The grapes, yeah. But I've never even seen hell wine...You haven't? Dude. Be grateful. That stuff is some bad, BAD vino.Gotcha.


    Man we really need to find some Hell Wine, wee for myself and all.

  • I'm gonna be celebrating it with ramen. Lots of ramen.

  • Currently, it's 49 hours and 30 mins in RL time till Recurse Eve (According to my calculations anyway). Anyone for a count down? I'll suggest a super street party that moves all over Groddle. Yeah, people jumping out of trees, greeting newbies with a party....... what else could you wish for? Also, a near constant supply of hooch, ice, drinks, various kinds of food, sparkle powder, and sneezing powder...... yep, it'll be my kind of street party alright.

  • We need a parade!
    Posted 18 months ago by FrankenPaula Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yay! A parade is a wonderful idea. It fits really well with KitkatCat's idea of a moving Groddle party. I'll supply the pickles!

  • Bump!

    It's Recurse Eve!
    Posted 18 months ago by DiggityDad Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It's the morning of Recurse Eve right now, so maybe it's too early to celebrate?. Whatever, I'm wolfing down ramen. And mining gems. Yep, I'm celebrating Recurse Eve in the Ilmenskie Caverns. It's not so bad, since I'm making more money in an hour than I could in a day with just farming.

    And on Recurse Day I'm going to give lots and lots of presents to a certain chicken. Hah!
