Notes
- First visit:
- As you approach Crimbo Town, Tammy the Tambourine Elf runs up to you in a frazzanic, which is a word I just made up that's short for 'frazzled panic'. "Oh, [PLAYER] ! I'm so glad you're here!" she exclaims, as she so often does on the 15th of December.
- "Hi, Tammy," you say. "Are those... flying pirate ships I see over Crimbo Town? With ropes hanging down, and fighting in the streets? What's going on?"
- "What's going on is, there are flying pirate ships over Crimbo Town! And a bunch of pirates came down on ropes, and now there's fighting in the streets!"
- "Ah yes. That explains it."
- "It's horrible!" Tammy wails. "They're trying to steal Crimbo Town!"
- "Where's Abulela Crimbo?" you ask. "Surely she can stop a few pirates, no problem?"
- Tammy pouts. "Abuela is taking a neutral view on the whole thing. She says Crimbo is for pirates too, so it isn't up to her who runs the place. Some of the elves were really upset at first, because it felt like a betrayal, you know? But it's hard to stay mad at Abuela, she's so... so..."
- "Nice?" you suggest.
- "Well, yeah! But also, she's umm..." Tammy furrows her brow and waves a hand, searching for the word. "Like, a universal force? It's like being mad at the sun."
- "I'm frequently mad at the sun."
- "Anyway, it's basically fallen to me to organize the elf forces, so I've got to go! I'll see you at the command tent. Whenever we're winning, anyway. Wish me luck!"
- She gives you a wave and her tambourine jingles as she dashes away.

- Each zone except the Command Tent has 3 states: pirate-aligned, elf-aligned and contested. Aligned zones contain a faction-specific store (except the Abuela Crimbo's Cottage which gives a faction-specific buff) while contested zones are combat zones. The Command Tent text also seems to change depending on which faction controls more zones.
- The monsters in the combat zones depend on the outfit. When wearing a faction outfit (Crimbuccaneer Rigging or Elf Guard Fatigues) you encounter monsters of the other faction, different sets of monsters in different zones. When not wearing a faction outfit you encounter monsters from both factions from a separate set, same for all zones (some of these monsters can drop outfit pieces. Many outfit pieces affect Pirate Warfare Effectiveness or Elf Warfare Effectiveness).
- The zone state can change. The switch happens on a timer, intervals from 10 to 23 hours were observed but it's unknown how is the interval length determined. On the switch the zone that was contested for two intervals becomes aligned to the faction that had more control there, and a random aligned zone becomes contested. The CBC Radio account posts periodical updates for faction control in combat zones to the /crimbo channel. The faction control depends on the warfare score contributed by adventurers killing enemies.
- The 2023 Crimbo Town appeared after rollover on December 14th, 2023, and lasted until the rollover of January 17, 2023.
- The community has an ongoing spreadsheet detailing monsters, drops, and more which can be found here.
