Welcome to Russia, where the bears unicycle and the red flag is still flying high…. or perhaps you’d rather pass and just reach for the vodka and join me in Quahog instead where we’re getting a peak behind the iron curtain for the latest event.
Yes, it’s time for the event many of you have been waiting for, the Best Of 2017.
EVENT ENDS
17th January at 3PM PST
ADDICTS ANNOUNCEMENTS & INFORMATION
Remember to collect from your North Pole Credit Union today if you purchased it.
if you played the Santa Griffin Is Coming To Town you should have been awarded a Christmas Tree from the event.
An event with a hint of Russian and Unicycle Riding Bears, just what I asked for HERE, well almost.
I know many of you are just starting to see the event and thinking unless you’ve got a plethora of the Rocky Times In Quahog characters then this is going to be very difficult. I agree, I’m playing through things and will be feeding back thoughts to TinyCo. But I think best way to proceed is decide what you want from the event and concentrate on that, that means you may choose to ignore the new characters Mrs Giant Chicken and concentrate on a returning character instead.
