Twinary trifecta

Post by +Colibri »

I've been looking to this February since the autumn, when I saw that we're going to have three special dates:

- 2. 2. 2022
- 20. 2. 2022
- 22. 2. 2022

There will be a giftstone at the Town center on each of these dates, between 0:00 shard time and until 23:59. (might be a bit longer than that, but that's your window to get the items).
The last item will allow you to combine the three items into a really nice deco piece.

Btw, since I'm late with today's giftstone, it will remain available all until tomorrow midnight (3. February at 23:59 shard time). But for the other two, be sure to login on the exact date, there won't be any extensions.

Nice! We were just talking about Tuesday, 2/22/22 at 22:22 in world chat at 6am shard time I think. Glad to see the shard capitalizing on it. It'd be even better if there was only 2 dates, instead of 3. Oh, well.

Too bad there's three, yeah, kinda ruins the perfection. Yeah I think that I saw a post back in let's say october, that 22/2/22 is a tuesday, then i remembered there's two more such similar dates in february. And think this February is the only such month for a millenium when it's a trifecta of dates. For exmple, in the year 2033 it will be again three "nice" dates in March, but the "2" will spoil the threes, so it won't be as nice.

Anyway, glad that we are all here for this cool date, it's like seeing a long-orbit comet or something.
(This reminds me, we'll have to make something special in 2038, and I might need to upgrade a few things in the code by then).

The 2nd item is now available on the giftstone in the Town Center. The giftstone will be available throughout the 20th of February, until 23:59 shard time.

Btw, i was about 2 hours late to put the giftstone up there, but I assume that everyone who might have just gone offline today, will be able to get it tomorrow. In the (very unlikely) event that you were waiting for the giftstone just after midnight, then had to rush off to catch a 26 hour flight to the other side of the world, and won't be able to get the item from the giftstone, you can send a ticket during the week to get it. Condition to qualify is that you were online anytime between 00:00 and 2:30 shard time today.

The 3rd part of the trifecta is this Tuesday aka Twoesday.

The 3rd item is now available at the Town Center.
Additionally, there's another very special giftstone where you can get a "Twoesday Doublet", and you get to have a choice on what time will be written on it.

These two giftstones will be available throughout the 22nd of February, until 23:59 shard time.

There's got to be some magic in these numbers, for the past few days when logging on and seeing the number of errors in the error log:

First day: 2020
Second Day: 2022
Third day: 2202
Today: 2222

Maybe the numbers aren't exactly that, maybe the first day was 2002, but well, this is beyond coincidence!

Don't worry about the actual scale of the number though, there's some bugs that produce errors but they're more like warnings.
