Christmas Journey

Well that is the USA's fault. If Canadians had their way, it would be in October - just like the harvest

While the rest of the world gave thanks on Jan 20th 😃.

OK, for me at least I am loving the winter landscape. Yes, I'm totally a winter bunny. Skiing, ice skating, snow shoeing, even curling. Bring on the snow!

Well, G! is Russian after all.

Technically G! is Lithuanian, an Eastern European country, which borders Russia.

Two completely separate countries and two separate basis for thanksgiving holiday, though admittedly we're close so some shared.

Canada's is based on UK harvest festival. Thanksgiving here in US isn't, is harvest feast though it apparently began as so. Keep in mind fall harvest arrives at different times in Canada, UK and US. It is also celebrated elsewhere.

Any way, it would be very stupid if GI did not extend the event until January 7, because the vast majority of the strongest pilots come from Eastern European countries.

I had the very same idea…. Build Santa’s journey from the info we get on map…
start: Lapland, Finland
#1: (I’d vote for Winnipeg as it is an AC destination), Canada
#2: …

#2 - Egypt?

 

[TimP]

#1 northern Finland
#2 Eastern Canada
#3 Egypt

January 7th has to do with Julian and Gregorian Calendars. In (some) Orthodox (Constantinople) Churches Xmas is according to the Julian Calendar while in Western (Rome) Church it is according to Gregorian Calendar (for whatever reason some Orthodox Churches had adopted the Western dates for Xmas - e.g. Greece or Bulgaria). Due to the two different Calendars Western Easter (West and East here came from the time of Roman Empire, not from Wild West or Rob’s East on the other side of Earth ) is always 0, 1, 4 or 5 weeks earlier than the Orthodox one - on top of the two different Calendars comes the formula “first Sunday after the first Full Moon date, that falls on or after March 21” plus, to make it even more difficult, Full Moon date is not taken according to the astronomical event, but from Church's lunar calendar (the so called ecclesiastical Full Moon).

#1 northern Finland
#2 Eastern Canada
#3 Egypt

Odd, for me it was
1. Winnipeg
2. Almost definitely Lapland.
3. Egypt
4. The big peninsula to the right of the Sea of Okhotsk in Russia

You’ve got the first two in wrong order.
depart from Lapland, heading to winnipeg.

1. Depart from Lapland
2. Winnipeg
3. Egypt
4. The big peninsula to the right of the Sea of Okhotsk in Russia.

But what is in the 4th location that have been relevant to the game?

The prizes have been underwhelming to say the least. Hopefully they get better

#4 Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky?

One might say Vladivostok though since is an AC destination and this map isn't very realistic.

I'm awaiting coal as the next prize...

@Captain WH Rollins, I'm sure you will get all the crappy prizes.

I look forward to cocktail hour this evening

Hope you are well?

Well, G! is Russian after all.

Well, where are the old good days when if your device was operated under Russian language you have got one extra event in May to celebrate end of "Священная война" with Russians and the event was with plane called "Летающий танк" which was in reality more like a crappy paper toy (see link below) and the reward was a beautiful statue The Motherland Calls placed in Volgograd and monument of Soviet airplane in 2014 or 2015.
