Do they celebrate Christmas in the Inner Sphere? I mean, it's interesting enough knowing that Christmas happens in the middle of summer if you live in Australia, but if you lived on a different planet, then the years would have a different length to earth's. Would that mean that Christmas would drift through the seasons?

I imagine it would be a bigger holiday in the parent nations of the Federated Commonwealth and Free Worlds League than, say the Draconis Combine or Capellan Confederation. I suppose the Rasalhagueans celebrate something that emulates the winter solstice.

Yeah, but it's a bit late to be wishing them a happy St Lucia

Of course, here in the 201st, we celebrate St. LoPan day every November 20th, where the Great Weasel delivers roofied drinks and stolen cigars and messes with the firing circuits in your 'mechs.

Don't forget installing cameras anywhere a female might be anything less than fully clothed. One day, that man is going to disappear, and all we'll ever find are a few very small pieces of him...

I love having my own holiday, for whatever reason.

Apropos absolutely nothing, does anyone know what this "Christmas Wins" challenge is in the profile? I don't seem to be making any progress on it...

So, if I've understood things correctly, I will receive a snow globe cockpit item if I win 12 matches during the next 200 hours, but there's no way of knowing how many I've already won because the tracker's not working? Joy!

Maybe...or it's not keeping track of the wins at all and nobody will get the snow globe. Presumably, they'll get it fixed once they get back from their boxing day celebration (and maybe a recovery day).

Well, I've managed the Christmas Challenge now. Seems the challenge page does work after all. I don't know if this is because they fixed the website, or because I did a bunch of solo drops while trying to level my Locusts. No sign of the snow globe so far; I presume we'll get those sometime in January.
