A figure braved the snow storm, its coat flapping flaccid and impotent against the howling wind. Head bowed, but walking with purpose towards some unseen destination in white wastes. Despite painful haemorrhoids that had a tendancy to explode in bad weather; they had evaded the security patrols and bypassed Q's defences, and soon... soon the FUN would begin.
"Tried to tell 'em!" he muttered, "wouldn't be tole'!, well, now... I'll SHOW em wont I?!" After a small amount of cackling and a few grunts of "..king gingerbread men!" the figure set up a large modified sniper rifle and scope on an outcrop of rock.
The scope found its target. There he was, Q - the instigator of all this childishness, the reason he had travelled hundreds of light years to find these people, the people who haunted his dreams, the sheep who laughed at snow balls and snow men..
He could not hurt Q, that much was clear... but humiliate him... and his childish fans..., to obstruct and destroy their childish antics... perhaps THAT was possible. The rifle fired, and after a brief moment its payload landed squarely in the mouth of Q - at first his look was one of surprise, which quickly turned to disgust as he realised what was lodged in his throat.
The TRIBBLE steamed, and protruded from Q's mouth like a most unlikely cigar. And then, with all the power of the Q continuum behind him, Q vomited.
The disgorgement was like no other that the universe had ever witnessed, a tsunami... a tidal wave of pure filth, engulfed the entire winter wonderland. The tide of vomit continued by the people of the land themselves as they emptied their stomachs into each others faces.
The figure packed away his riffle with a smug smile. Q would never live this down, and winter wonderland with its childish antics would become a thing of the past.
The wind blew on, and eventually the figure disappeared with only the snatch of a muttered sentence lingering in the air; "...king gingerbread men".
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
Ah, maybe the OP's whining is the result of still being on 'soft food'. Such clear communication prior to the production of solid stools, is however commendable, regardless of the current tantrum.. Bravo!!
I do enjoy this light hearted, pretty much unsullied by $$$, Winter Event. This is Q we are talking about, besides the odd Capitan he has spent time with, he see's us all as children, in his own benevolent way, he is giving us what he thinks we appreciate. You may not like it OP, but it is certainly in character for Q, and properly belongs in this game.
No cryptic we are not all 5 year olds we dont like dumb TRIBBLE like exploding gum balls and ginger bread pets. Cryptic you need to grow up or hire some adults to develop this game does cbs own this ip or nick jr.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel,
Mr. Grinch.
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel.
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders.
You've got garlic in your soul, Mr Grinch.
I wouldn't touch you with a
Thirty-nine and a half foot pole.
You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have termites in your smile,
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile,
Mr Grinch.
Given the choice between the two of you,
I'd take the seasick crocodile.
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
You're a nasty wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks.
Your soul is full of gunk,
Mr Grinch.
The three words that best describe you,
Are as follows, and I quote"
Stink!
Stank!
Stunk!
You're a rotter Mr Grinch
You're the king of sinful sots
Your hearts a dead tomato squashed with moldy purple spots
Mr Grinch
Your soul is a appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.
You nauseate me, Mr Grinch
With a noxious super nos
You're a crooked jerky jockey and,
You drive a crooked hoss
Mr Grinch!
You're a three-decker sauerkraut
And toadstool sandwich,
With arsenic sauce!
I'm 42, in addition to looking forward to the winter event here on STO, I also own several hundred Transformers toys and am looking forward to the arrival of my MP-21 Masterpiece Bumblebee which has been on preorder and which was shipped to me and will be arriving tomorrow. Running around winter wonderland and the gingerbread village and taking out snowmen with snowball launchers, blowers and candified weaponry is fun.
What are even going on about? Q's antics throughout Star Trek are largely nonsensical and comedic. This entire event with Q just messing around and giving us Borg snowmen to fight fits in perfectly with what we've seen on screen. None of this is "childish and stupid."
This a million times over. Q was constantly pranking Picard and company in childish ways so how was that any different from Q's Winder Wonderland in STO? Are you honestly going to rage over gingerbread men and gum drop weapons? I don't think the OP is serious and this just stinks of a prank he's pulling on us.

Don't worry we have their rattlers and pacifiers held hostage.

I'm inclined to agree, I hate the silliness of the winter event, but I won't begrudge those that DO like it the right to play it and enjoy it. Put another way, I can just ignore it.
What bothers me more is that we're often treated like idiots. Do we really need every interactable object in the world to glow and flash like a christmas tree? Do we have to have puzzles in the game that are so simplistic a 5 year old would laugh at it? How about letting us use our BRAINS once in a while.
Anyway, it's an old horse.
Well... I remember the game the way it was before and.... I actually like it in many ways. Sure the effect is gaudy and garish, but it does provide a useful benefit. Needing to guess which console you can interact with is annoying.
No cryptic we are not all 5 year olds we dont like dumb TRIBBLE like exploding gum balls and ginger bread pets. Cryptic you need to grow up or hire some adults to develop this game does cbs own this ip or nick jr.
Lol, this revamped Winter event is hands down the best and probably only fun thing to be released with Delta Rising.

Oh, grow up. Or down. Whichever works. It's all in good fun.
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.

the only time i log into this game anymore is to do R&D and get my daily dill and i look forward to the yearly events but other than that i don't play this game so its kinda good they have these events i guess atleast they keep vets like me interested hahaha

Your grammar makes me wonder if you ARE a 5 year old.
My Old Blog about things that could and should have been added when I wrote it. Not sure what I want to do with it now. I'll just keep it available now that most of it is outdated.
You have to remember, not everyone who plays this game isn't an adult. You have kids as well. IF I had a kid, I sure would want them to play it. As this game is lots of fun.
I don't mind the winter event, I like going there to play around. And its a way to get out of "Star Trek" for a short while for some fun. Just like the summer event, that was lots of fun too. Plus it helps break up the usual stuff I do on the game for months on end. So its a fun break to have fun.
Bottom line, if the game isn't fun. Why bother playing anymore.

It's a CHRISTMAS event, what's wrong with you? Go back to League of Legends.
No doubt Christmas is tied with mothers day and valentines day for worst holiday of the year. But it is supposed to be a fun time. So a zone of joy and a little light heartedness is great. And it let's the only good devs show off....the environmental team.
I think the OP needs to lighten up a little. Of a guy like me that hates Christmas can find it amuzing, anyone can.

Hate to say it but it's meant to be a silly fun event. Not only for us players, but I'm guessing for the devs also. Then again I bet you're one of those people who rant on and on about disco balls ruining your game. Note the word game. Please feel free to get over yourself, remove the stick you so clearly have lodged somewhere dark, and have some fun ffs.
After reading all the posts here I have had a change of heart I decided to give the winter event one more try. When I enter the zone it was magical a smile immediately came over my face i just couldn't fight it. I ran to the first race OMG its so realistic you even have to wait in line I almost got frostbite waiting. Then it was off to the competitive race wait a minute why does everyone say pvp never gets any love PVPERS you get a whole race. And I will say there were more ppl in line for the competitive pvp race then in the pvp q so another success cryptic. Well by this time im getting hungry so I remember the pie eating contest. OMG they were delicious I stayed there for hrs just clicking on pies over and over and over again the fun was to much. So I thank you all for opening my eyes to what is real fun in a game. Just kidding haven't stepped a foot near it and it all still sucks.

even thou u just did lol why not try this one
