What happens if a nexus reaches 0 power with a box on it I wonder?
And also, between aggressive mobs being allowed to wander into newton, the blocking of dross power, and fires which are a simple nuisance to me, but a deadly threat to anyone with less when 500 health, this event is wandering dangerously close from "WOO! Cataclysmic christmas event!" to "Hey guys, y'know what would be fun? Lets over the novices for about a month." If nothing else put playedtime checkers on the boxes and mobs so that if you're a newbie you don't get screwed over.

While I was off doing real-person things, I found myself absent-mindedly singing that Youtube video of the history of the Soviet Union/Tetris. Except I was re-arranging the lyrics for Hallifax. And it had a Bejeweled theme.
Like this?
To Halli I came seeking fortune
But they’re making me work til I’m dead
The Highest Caste have it so easy
The Tsar’s putting gold on his bread
The people of Halli are hungry
But think what a feast there could be
If we could create a Collectivist state
That cared for the people like me:
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That descend upon me from up above.
They come down and I spin them around
Til they fit in the ground like hand in glove.
Sometimes it seems that to move blocks is fine
And the lines will be formed as they fall -
Then I see that I have misjudged it!
I should not have nudged it after all.
Can I have a long one please?
Why must these infernal blocks tease?
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That continue to fall from up above.
Come Hallivite! Let the servants unite!
A collective regime of peace and love.
I work so hard in arranging the blocks
But the Oberst and Chairman bleed me dry
But the servants will rise! We will not compromise
For we know that the old regime must die.
Long live Cririk, kill the Tsar!
We salute the feather and star!
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That continue to fall from up above.
The food on your plate now belongs to the state
A collective regime of peace and love.
I have no choice in arranging the blocks
Under Highest Caste rule, what they say goes.
The rule of the game is we all are the same
And my blocks must create unbroken rows.
Long live Cririk! He loves you!
Sing these words, or you know what he’ll do...
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That are made by the dwarves in deep Rockholm.
They come two weeks late and they don’t tessellate
But we’re working to Cririk’s five year plan.
I am the man who arranges the tanks
That will make all the Gaudi's keep away
The Emperor is dead, and the Basin is Red!
Let us point all our staffs at Gaudiguch.
We shall live forever more!
We can start a Temporal war!
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That are building a highly secret base.
Hip hip hurrah for the Commonwealth!
We are sending our men to Aetherspace.
I work so hard in arranging the blocks
But each night I go home to my wife in tears -
What’s the point of it all, when you’re building a wall
And in front of your eyes it disappears?
Pointless work for pointless pay
This is one game I shall not play.
I am the man who arranges the blocks!
But tomorrow I think I’ll stay in bed.
The winter is cold, I’ve got plenty of gold
And I’m standing in line for a loaf of bread
Maybe we’d be better off
If we brought down the Governor.
I am the man who arranges the blocks
That continue to fall from up above.
The markets are free! So much money for me!
Tell me, why should I care for peace and love?
The markets are free! So much money for me!
Tell me, why should I care for peace and love?
Peace and love, peace and love!
And now the wall is down, the Cririxists frown
There’s foreign shops all over town
When in Red Square, well don’t despair
There’s TraderBob’s and McCririk’s there
The Gnomes gave us crystal meth
And Arel drank himself to death
But now that Ileein’s put the boot in,
Who’ll get in our way?
So we reject free enterprise
And once again the left will rise.
Prepare the flags to be unfurled
For we’re seceding from the world:
We shall regain the Hallifaxian tower
We shall obtain the Aetheric power
We shall arrange the blocks and toil
Forever and a day.

tl;dr
And that's saying something, since I practically read over everything.

Yeah, that looks right.
EDIT: The part about Arel drinking himself to death made me laugh.

Casilu's current sig reminds me of most events.

I like that drawing power costs gold. I just wish the power I "buy" wouldn't count against my allowances for the month.
I like the coal from the gnomes, too. It's more useful than the crap Ironbeard gives out!

I am going mad from fighting these sand things. Sure they give (a lot) more experience now, but it's the dragging on of a single fight that makes it feel especially tedious =/

My bubble pipe(traded), about 7k gold, and 2 pocketbelts full of herbs and feed, plus mercury, say otherwise.

I need another semi-long term coding project to work on, now that I've basically finished my demesne tracker.

Grah! I must check my messages sooner! I even have the taskbar thing to do so with, and yet...grah, heart attacks.

Want to translate all my reflexes to Lua for me?

If it's a lot of triggers I want compensation.

A week or two of this mess and it is a Gnafia event. People saw it coming, but I cannot help but ask how long it will take it end so we can go back to actual Lusternia.

It's rather...contrived to be honest.
Xiel2010-12-18 23:07:36
I enjoy the event moreso than the humdrum which is the 'everyday normal' Lusternia, personally. Sadly feels like I've exhausted my enjoyment of the everyday things by this point.
Unless I feel like another org switch, which I don't want, considering it's both expensive and daunting to get another orgix. Ew.
