    You obviously don't know the meaning of the word sarcasm and you probably never heard of pizza gate.

    1) I'm English, of course I know sarcasm. You were not making a very a good job of it if that's what you are now claiming and 2) I have heard of pizza gate, if you stop and think for one second - why else would I reply to your comment as being about mol e sters ?

    I'm Dutch and you and I both know Stonehenge has no pentagram. The first prize is a goat god. It is commonly used by certain Metal bands and Alistair Crowley followers. What in the world has this got to do with Christmas or Paganism?
    And I don't celebrate Christmas but this update just sucks and has very poor timing, especially with all that is coming out of the woodwork now. I think it's funny that you attack me but say nothing about this posted picture. But that's of course because it's sarcasm you do get....

  • What is it with all the swearing? It seems like every other post has at least one blocked out word. Are people really that ridiculous that they can't express themselves properly?

    Some abbreviations are coming up as swears. I don't get it, if you add a swear to some of the blotted out words... they don't make sense.

    The new forum's built in censor would even block some of what Ned Flanders says. I know I've had a few moderate exclamations censored where it looked like I was cursing much more than I was (especially since I wasn't even cursing in most cases).

    Yes, it is rather overzealous. Knowing the content of the posts in question though...
  • I'm enjoying the event, all the repetitive threads of people posting the same thing about this topic is much more annoying to me.

    We'll chew this planet up and spit it out!
  • So this is Christmas? What have YOU done? Just think another year over and a new one just begun.

    Anyway, I am having fun. Spent only 150 donuts but like the frozen car and big tree. Added like 5% to my multiplier. Why not? Donuts are easy to come by now-a-days.

    EDIT: So the fans who play this game year after year, all of our suggestions and anticipation, completely ignored. It’s Halloween 2015 ( literally ) again.

    THOH 2015 was awesome imo, multiple nightmare to craft different currencies, wailing walls were craftable.

    every event you have people who like and dislike it, not everybody has same tastes. the more unique thing this year was the fact people could "hate" and update just minutes after the release without even giving it a chance.

    I LOVED the cthulhu theme.

    The "paganism" represented in the winter update is a populist mash-up with elements from ancient druids, medieval times, wicca and more modern neo-pagans. By rights the people who could genuinely take offence are those who practice any of those faiths owing to the cartoonish mismash, and you certainly can't blanket it all as "satanism".

    That gif isn't an example of sarcasm btw, so don't know why you would bring that up.

    Whatever floats your boat, man. I know the origins of Christmas and it has zero to do with the birth of Christ. He wasn't even born in December. And I am not the one saying paganism is equal to Satanism. But to use a pentagram (point down, not up defining luck) and a goat statue are Satanic in my view. So you can say whatever else you want, I'm not some dumb floozy who's impressed by you trying to twist my words and having no sense of humour. I just find this update is bad taste on the side of EA, whatever your belief. Period. I'm done!
  • I agree, this is ****. They turned the terrible grinding of Monorail tracks into a "holiday" update. This is re-hashing on the lowest scale. The people who haphazardly threw this together deserve to have the shame bell follow them around for the entire month of December.

    I was one of those people who hated it minutes after the update. I have zero issue with the paganism aspect, and I was wrong to claim it as a holiday update. People are right this is a winter update not Christmas. What I don't understand is how much time is actually needed to see this is re-hashing. What exactly makes me want to see where the story line goes and maybe 2 days from now it'll get better..... It's clear from the start they are giving you generic prizes from past events that they couldn't sell for donuts, or mushrooms, mushrooms are new. How many days do I have to wait to know I couldn't care less about these "prizes". The other issue I have is it's the same model they keep throwing out. There is no originality and having your main characters be the crafters, forcing you to forgo their holiday/Christmas tasks. How many days did I need to figure out Homer can't do his (santas village) tasks if he's making catnip?

    The whole pointing up/down stuff is just recent made up rules.

    Since you felt the need to make pizzagate references in a prior posting, I have to ask: Do you really believe that fake conspiracy stuff?

  • Majority means we do what they want all the time and eff everybody else?

    Yes, thats kinda how a society and democracy works. Why should the minority rule the majority?

    Not asking for the minority to rule the majority.

    Under that kind of "thinking" ...blacks are still sitting at the back of the bus and we have racially segregated water fountains....

    ...or is that what you want?

    The Pagan theme isn't strong enough as a main storyline. It's too niche and alienates the mainstream players. I don't think they've been lazy just creatively burnt out, only so many times you can do Christmas with an original theme.

    Niche?

    Romans, Greeks, Native Americans, Europe, Africa. They were all Pagans. Not to mention that Christmas and New Year were originally Pagan Festivals.

    I think Epstein and members of the Clinton Foundation colluded with EA to drive this update. Chelsea loves to wear her upside cross. EA will take a bath on this one.

    Haha!

    No, you forgot the false flag operation that was the Halloween event, to distract from the deleted emails from Comet Pizza telling Hillary and EA that the next event would be sponsored by George Soros, who rigged the last election of the programmer's union...
  • This is the first event that I'm really going to ignore. There's a couple of things that look interesting enough to grind for, but most of it looks worthless. I'll go back to grinding the monorail tracks. Got 3 straight pieces this week after completing everything. Sheesh.

  • Ok guys, calm down, after playing this event for 2 days now, I can confirm that I hate it too. Yup, worst event ever. First the prizes are mostly a variation of the Clash of Champions event we had, which was also a bad event, but still playable and new and fresh. I didn't complain about that event or any other event in the past. This one has caused me to come out of hibernation and complain. There are only 2 acts, lol and most of the prizes are gems to craft crappy items. Worst event ever. BLAH!
  • In my main account, I just sent homer flying the sleigh and every else I could got a Christmas task. With the exception of anyone that could boycott like Marge!!! Hahaha.

    At least this way my neighbors can taken in some of the previous Christmas spirit. If I never comeback... there it will be.
