It sorta suits Halloween more. I know it's all tied in to Christmas, but the prizes and all that suit my Halloween section more than my Christmas section. And earning currency is soooooo boring. It's the same as the monorail (and we've had that ever since) and Wild West. But easier because there's no limitations on production of resources. Then there's the gnome which is really random and unrelated to the event.
They could've had a really cool theme based around the gnome, recycle the elf cannon and that stuff. Or maybe a big snowball fight with all the kids. A Southern Hemisphere summer event. Something fun. Religious battles aren't really that fun. The dialogue is somewhat funny, but that's it. I want a break from reality when I play this game.
I thought the same, with respect to being better suited to Halloween. Devil snowman has ended up in my Halloween town. So much better suited to it.
Really not liking some of the "humor" either. I don't feel as though they are doing a very clever job with the parody, it feels like they are taking mean-spirited jabs at people with any sort of belief, whether it's pagans, Christians or whatever else. I think people can laugh at themselves (Willie tricking the SFers into doing his work was really humorous), but there's too much of the "you people are simpletons" vibe. Folks don't take well to ridicule, and that's what this is at times.
Now, as to what I would have liked? Hannukah. So much material from past and present episodes to work with there. Even in this latest episode, there was enough to work with. I'm just sort of confounded as to why they based the event on less than three minutes of the holiday episode.
