Has there been any word when the Winter Event will start this year?

Yep I think almost all of them started roughly around the middle of December give or take.
Sort of surprised it hasn't been announced yet, but I would still assume it'll start some time next week.

I have it on good authority that it will start in the winter, some time in December.

I would actually bet that it starts in Autumn.

Or it could even be in the Spring depending on which hemisphere you live in and how picky you want to be about it.

No and yes. All but one Winter Event started in the FALL. And all but one (the same one) started in December. The 2004 event actually started in January 2005.

Based on the turnover of Devs and the Ascendency of Production, it would be unwise to go back more than 3 years for past data that would be predictive of the future. Besides, human beings are set by default to do-what-we-did-last-year, barring some extraordinary schedule altering event.

I won't pretend to know where you get your information from but I know my source of information has never spoken to you.

Yeah, ya see that only tells you when the previous events started and ended. I'm talking about piercing the veil by divination. Rolling the bones in animal entrails and other reliable scientific methods.

Unless of course you are referring to the various HeroCon's, Bay Area Meet & Greet's and this years Freedom Player Summit (The Pummit). All have been on different weekends, sometimes different months, and always a different venue.

Of course, if they'd stick to the same weekend people could at least reserve time off from work early enough.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Kindly refer to the thread about the Staff Fighting set where it was revealed that ParagonWiki staff use time-travel to get information in advance.

That's only partly true. That information was leaked to ParagonWiki by a band of time traveling dwarves that had stolen the map of time from the Supreme Being.

Eh, I avoid the dwarves and call Rose's phone.

And hope the Doctor gets me home in time for supper. On the day I left.

Only problem there is that Rose's phone is in an alternate dimension and her Doctor is human and has no TARDIS.




Of course it's possible that they got in touch with that dimensions Doctor and now are his companions.

The Brigadier used to have a highly effective Space-time telegraph to get in touch with the Doctor. Oddly, he only used it once in order to get the Doctor to help him stop a puppet from destroying oil rigs in the North Sea.

Actually in a deleted scene the human Doctor was given a TARDIS seed and instructions on how to rapidly grow a new TARDIS from it, so he does have one. Also the TARDIS has its own phone anyway. And answering machine.

Could of sworn the phone left in the non-human Doctor's tardis was Rose's original phone from the first series/9th Doctor Series.

Shame he only got one series.

Well I'll admit I could be wrong. I could be assuming she had it with her.

I'd guess tomorrow or a week from tomorrow.

Here on Earth's surface, in the northern hemisphere, months of winter are December, January and February

I'm guessing from past experience, I'll get three emails about in in Janurary.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):
