Every Time I see The Splash Screen......

Oh, right. One spring weekend of the cross, and the rest of the year - whether it's the month with the baby or not - no crosses-with-man visible anywhere outside of churches.

You all need to remember its called WINTER event for a reason.

+100

It's been called Winter since 2014. Only 2012 and 2013 were labeled as Christmas events. People should not expect a Christmas related event during a winter update.

i laughed

I just realized something
TrollTrace isnt a program at all....its a Winter update for a Mobile game app....
ITs causing the downfall of society as people release their inner Skunkhunt.

I dont know ether to laugh at the misery or cry at the failure to stop anything... meh i'll do both.

Point:
This wouldnt have happened if we had a penguin update.
Just saying.

Honsetly keep all the Pagan (i prefer the word druid, pagan sounds derogatory) stuff but add some penguins (in cloaks or such i dont mind if it crosses over with this theme) and people will stop complaining, honestly doesnt EA have a marketing team or something?
Dont they know the basis of winter holidays?
1.Coca-Cola
2.Fat guys with beards/ Bearded magical guys
3.Magical winter Critters
4.Non-magical-yet-magical-cause-they're-awesome Winter critters (of which bears and penguins are a part of)

Keep the creepy Gnome and the Stonehenge and the sacrafices but add a penguin, doesnt even have to be a nice penguin even an evil penguin dressed as a chicken will make people happy.

For the record (off topic, but important) Jesus was never on a cross, history proves that he would have been placed on a torture stake and nailed to it. Less wood, in an area that wood was hard to come by.

You sure bout dat?

Positive. I'm an ordained minister, and studied Christian theocracy for 4 years. In the original Latin transcription the word "Crux" was used... meaning simple stake or pole. In Greek scriptures, it breaks down further:

The Bible generally uses the Greek word stau·ros′ when referring to the instrument of Jesus’ execution. (Matthew 27:40; John 19:17) Although translations often render this word “cross,” many scholars agree that its basic meaning is actually “upright stake.” * According to A Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament, stau·ros′ “never means two pieces of wood joining each other at any angle.”

The Bible also uses the Greek word xy′lon as a synonym for stau·ros′. (Acts 5:30; 1 Peter 2:24) This word means “wood,” “timber,” “stake,” or “tree.” * The Companion Bible thus concludes: “There is nothing in the Greek of the N T even to imply two pieces of timber.”

Hope that sheds a little more light on the origins, seems this event is unveiling many truths. :smile:

Well you took me to school! That's fascinating. I wonder why they let that change over the years. Seems kind of important- well not as important as the Resurrection obviously.

I've always been embarrassed to ask someone in person, but with the anonymity of the forums and an expert in our midst, I must know definitively...

@joejoe5050 Is there any truth to the rumor there were originally 15 Commandments, but Moses dropped one of the stone tablets and had to improvise? Thank you in advance.

Many Scholars do not believe in the Ressurection, because it was not apart of the original text, and those versus were added later.

You sure bout dat?

Everything is better with penguins! And the chicken skin would be perfect cause"penguins are practically chickens" (apologies to Mell Blank)
Merry Christmas*

Ha ha. This is how it feels to me. You're watching Macy's Thanksgiving parade, all the floats, some are different from the year before, but you still have an idea about what will be at the end of the parade. And when the end of the parade finally arrives, it's Tap Ball.
