Talk:Uncle Crimbo

He has more than 92 meat, and i's because people have been sending him stuff, so that should probably be changed. - littlenicky40 —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 20:50, 6 December 2005 (CST).

Crimbo 2010

Just wanted to note that Uncle Crimbo gave one of my accounts a stapler bear on the 27th of december. Maybe his gift giving was delayed for some people? --Lemon-claw 18:37, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Favorites

Haha I never saw this until now: his favourite food is Plate of franks and beans and his favourite booze is Flask of peppermint schnapps.--Manial 08:28, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

• Yup, apparently he consumed 1,000 plates of franks and beans as seen by the leaderboards previously. I'm guess that it's probably the same amount for the peppermint schnapps. --TheDotGamer 17:39, 7 April 2007 (CDT)

Uncle Crimbo Sighting

He showed up in /games chat about an hour after rollover once the 12 Days of Crimbo were over. He gave out an effect: "The Spirit of Crimbo" (100 adventures, "'Tis the season!") --Sparksol 22:59, 24 December 2007 (CST)

Uncle Crimbo's 2010 gifts

2010's gift was not to all players -- a multi of mine did not get any gift from Uncle Crimbo. --Ceredwin 17:35, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Update: the multi that did not get a present got her present upon login on the 26th. --Ceredwin 01:11, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

So - did all players eventually get one of the gifts, or only some? and if only some, do we know who/why? --Kay Dekker 20:35, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

My theory is that the gifts get given out upon first login during a gift giving window of time. If you are already logged in when the window starts, you don't get it. Upon logging out and logging in again, you do get it. If you wait until after the window ends, you never get it. Yesterday the 2012 gifts started to go out, but I didn't get mine until login in today. The mail suspiciously timestamped with my login. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 19:02, 5 January 2013 (CET)

When did the message come?

"On January 4, 2013, he sent those players who helped to defeat the MechaElf a message:" I recieved it Monday, January 07, 2013, 12:08PM. I live in time zone +1, if it matters.--Blargh 18:22, 7 January 2013 (CET)

• You get the mail when you login the first time after jan 4th. If you hadn't logged in since the morning of the 4th or earlier then this is expected. Discordance 19:02, 7 January 2013 (CET)
  • "Login" is misleading. My scripts log in for my characters once or twice per day. (Count varies with account.) None of them got it until I logged in manually. The actual trigger seems to be loading the main map page for the first time after login — something I don't do in my scripts. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 20:06, 8 January 2013 (CET)
    • Yeah whoops, I was logged in when a clannie told me to click the main map. Discordance 21:34, 8 January 2013 (CET)
