Merry X-mas
&
Happy Holidays


Just for kicks, here's where we can share all of our holiday ooc: greetings and laughs, without burying all the (ahem) "important" :rolleyes: stuff in the OOC thread. :D

So, just to start things off, a few topics:

- What do your characters want for X-mas?

- It's Dickens in Eutopia: Who is Scrooge? Tiny Tim? Cratchette? And who are the three ghosts?

- I am sure Eutopia MUST have their own Christmas traditions and songs. Anyone want to hazard guessing a few?


Go nuts.

Happy Holidays!

Levarge walks up to Santa Claus. "My god, son! You call that a uniform? You'd better straighten up and listen good. I want a working airforce, a working navy, a substantial increase in ground forces, and a war to test them all out in! Oh, and a Super-GI Joe Commando Fortress Continuity of Government Location. Only fifty million ducats!"

Tilly is Tiny Tim, at least right now. I'll say Gonzo is Scrooge. Loic is Xmas Past. Josephus is the Xmas goose - he's gonna get cooked.

As for traditions, there's the blessing of the fishing fleet every year on Christmas day. And in the WET, the burning of the herring.

All Josephus wants for Christmas is world peace, equality, and harmony.

And millions of ducats to line up his Swiss bank account for his retirement.

Loic's ancestor did that in Nouvelle Anjou in 1793 and/or 1794.


Right up until the Royal Proclamation of 1795 made it illegal to hunt the Norse for sport. But it was fun while it lasted. ;)

Maybe it was to nick a cockney between St. Swillins Day and the Guy Fawkes parade? I can never keep track. :p

But let's not go harassing the Topans...that never leads to good things. :D


Speaking of which:

We have many traditions for the secular Christmas holiday representing the gift-giving figure of legend:

Father Christmas
"Per" Noel ;)
St. Nicholas
Santa Claus
Kris Kringle

  • But what do we call him in EUtopia? ;)

    -"Good King Nicholas?" (Vilms)
    -"Robin Hood and the Red Reindeer Brigade?" (Josephus)
    -"Earn-your-own-presents-through-your-hard-work-dang-it! Guy?" (Langley, old school)
    -"Here-let-me-show-you-how-to-build-your-own-presents-Guy?" (Langley, new school)
    - "Kris Krishasami?" (Blade!)
    -"They mystery witness who shall validate my land claims" - (de Fourgéres)
    -"North Pole, eh? We'll find out about THAT!" (Tilly)
    -"Ahhhhhh! There's a big red Camel Spider in my Chimney!" (Vasquez)

Hahaha, you forgot the "BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM!" part at the end of Vasquez's line. ;)

Well, Gonzov is a Billionare, so there's not that much he doesn't have at the moment, but:

1) A Majority in the GA!

2) Austri to stop being so Paranoid

3) The right saying: "We support disarmament!"

4) REGALCS to be repealed

5) Tilly having Cancer cured

And what did I do to deserve being Scrooge?

I guess we would call him Father Christmas, since we are an English Colony. Or we would call him Per Noel, but do you hear Mr Christmas?

Aww, shucks. I wasn't going to ask for it myself, but yeah, Tilly'd like that, too. He must be more popular than I imagined, if even his opponents don't want to see him dead. If only Joe could say the same. :D

Oh, Tilly'd also like Witney von Vaam, wrapped, under the tree. ;)

Well, if the new Law Enforcement guys get on the von Vaam case, you just might get all three pieces of her wrapped, stuffed with topa root, and under the tree! :D
