It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Someone on the forums found this on Test server in Pocket D:

So, if Heroes and Villains can team up for the Ski Chalet thing, what would be the 'Dream Team'?
Just curious :-)

It's sort of off topic, but I was looking at one of the discussion threads and noticed this...

You are... uh... makin' predictions and... uh... in my base spending my presteeg!

Does that "in my (location) (verbing) my (noun)" come from somewhere or something? First time I saw it was in that comic by Mads with "You're in my mountains killing my dudes", time passed... and then suddenly I'm seeing lines of that form all over the place.

I believe it's from online games such as Quake. The original formation is "im in ur base killin ur guyz" or some such.

If "Becky"/ Mother Meyai were higher level.... oh the fun of interaction with Min while Supes and Jen try to keep them from killing each other...

Sidekicking. Lackeying. Exemplaring. C'mon, man. If you really want, we can assemble a team.
I'm assuming that heroes can't SK/LK the villains, and vice-versa, but with some juggling, I'm sure we could make a team happen.
If not, there's still arguments around the ski lodge.
Or under regular circumstances, Pocket D.

Will this event be only on test server? I hope not... But still, it's really nice and I'll join the fun for sure!

So Christmas Event dream teams.
It was bantered around this morning of this possibility:
Lady Nogitsune, Minuet, Bella and Syndesis.
Other option
Mother Meyai, Minuet, Jen Etroica and (I think it was..) Superball. -Which would have interesting rp value for sure.
Other suggestions?

*whispers to Sam*
The devellopers put stuff in the test server in preparation for putting it into the regular servers, that's why it's the TEST server.

[Logan Darklighter]

I think that I shall never ski
Again against so stout a tree
A tree whose rugged bark is pressed
In bas-relief against my chest
A tree that with bacchantic air
wears ski-poles in its tangles hair
Yes I've learned me lesson, fools like me
Should never try to shave a tree.-Logan

Ah, so that's why the map for Pocket D is suddenly much bigger and including stuff outside the club...

It's a whole lot of fun! There's a Shadow Shard geyser at the bottom of the slope to send you back up to the top quickly. The chalet in there looks really smooth as well. The art department's really outdone themselves. I'm looking forward to smacking around Snaptooth again.

How do you get outside?

There's a new door in the villain side of Pocket D, upstairs. The easiest way to find it is to follow the new contact that appears when the event starts (or you log in to Test), Father Time. He's inside the door, so just going to him will take you there.

Awww... Nobody going to respond to the tree smack screenshot sequence and bit of doggerel there? That took a fair amount of work, you understand... Lots of skiing around smashing into trees to get just the right shot.

Okay, maybe not work as such. -Logan
