(See steam front page in about 10 minutes)
All steam users get a little gift for doing the nutcracker frostbite lockdown thing.
I wonder what the crowds'll be like. :)
Today is Spiral Knights achievement day

VERY noobish
Every round is frostbite and full of people that don't know what they're doing. I played six games. Won 4 and lost 1 by 400 points each. One game was close. Several leavers each game. Not a good day to play if you actually want to play, great day to play if you want to camp the last control point and blow the other team out.
Oh yeah and several "how do I pick up snowballs" and a "where is the sprint button?"...all of this in T3 Lockdown

....
I don't play steam and I'm British, so 'son of a nutcracker'doesn't work. Also in JK, usually, craptons will be playing, but now it is empty. I suck at solo....

Visit the "Holiday Gift Pile"
Visit the "Holiday Gift Pile" section on the main page Darkbrady. It's in the top area with a red tag. The page will give you one for visiting, then another to see what your gifts were, and achievements across many games (including Spiral Knights) gives you more.
Mine was a -50% off coupon on a game I already owned. Hope you guys have better luck!
Going to plug this bazaar post while I'm here ;)

Btw, Spiral Knights Steak users increased by 400% so far today. 11,350 is the peak, 10,979 are playing right now. Yesterday it was barely over 2000 as a peak.

Son of a nutcracker I did
Son of a nutcracker I did straight away in case I missed it if it vanished over the holidays and got it fine after my first snowball hit someone's face; no idea why everyone's havin' so much trouble.
Did the thing you said Kwizzy and got a -50% off "any valve game". seems not bad..no idea how to get anythin' else , mind you.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY.
Thanks to the influx of people wanting the achievement, I was able to get 10 Krogmo Coins and an Azure Bomb Mask in my first 3 games of LD. I went to check out that Steam giveaway thing and got a Portal 2 gift for the nutcracker achievement.
Thank you OOO and thank you Valve!!!

It's not only about leavers. My screenshot shows that the one who haven't left were actually not interested at all in capturing the capture points :-(

That explains a lot...
Well that explains why someone was preaching that we all are victims of valve's marketing strategies, "The End of the world is comming!" style, in full proto gear.

I just say fill it up at the beginning since their mist is just going to be wasted anyways.
Well, I'm not a steam user and I'm not going to check its front page, but I've encountered today many proto-knights asking "where is Lockdown" and "How I throw snowballs". Perhaps a good chance to play some T1 Lockdown at last.
