December 17

Apologies if this is common knowledge, or I'm an idiot, but I have a distinct memory of seeing a post on the news feed saying that there was going to be some event on the 17th of December, where there would be various mini games/events, including (from memory) a ship giveaway and a best/worst dressed toon thing.

I was trying to find the post - or even a reference to it - during this maintenance and I can't find it anywhere. Am I being dense, or did I just dream it, or something?

    I haven't seen tell of such an event. It would be a great thing for our new CM to put on, but it could easily be something an individual fleet (or other group) is orchestrating (if it's even a thing for this Dec 17th, not a previous year or a mere flub of the internet.)

    Not seen anything of the sort, and I check the feed and forum regularly. I would hazard a guess it's a Fleet that's doing this and not Cryptic.

    Not sure what date it was on last year, but there was something like what you describe put on by Dental and several of it's allied fleets. Heck, the people in charge at Cryptic liked it so much that they auto-subscribed everyone to the chat channel 'WesleyAnnounce'.

    OP perhaps... you are talking about the HUGE party Starfleet Liberty Force is throwing...
    They will be having lots of great events such as Trivia, competitive races, best custom contest, hide and seek, and the PvP tournament Battle Royale. There will be lots of great prizes ... Perhaps, even Santa might make an appearance to give free give-aways items for those who have not been naughty on his annual list...

    It's on December 17th.

    Given 12/17 is a Saturday - I'd be surprised if any official "events" are happening as the Community and Dev teams have weekends off.

    The only thing I know for sure about Dec 17th is that the Orlando Food Truck Bazaar will be in Sanford, FL, from 5p-8p. There aren't any Star Trek-themed food trucks in it, but that's okay. STO players in the greater Orlando area ought to organize an IRL get-together at one of these food truck events.

    It's okay. I don't mind you hating on me for being off work today. As long as it makes you feel better, that's what is important here. Meanwhile, I'll think about all the Saturdays I've worked over the years and how much I am enjoying the fact I have the wife and the kids out of the house at the same time today. This means I can hook my laptop up to the 60 inch with Dolby Surround and play STO on this glorious Saturday the way it is meant to be played. While you're working. lol

    But I will lift a cold beer on your behalf.
