    A Settlers Xmas Song, Ho ho ho

    A Settlers Xmas Song
    (to the tune of "Up on the Housetop")

    We are the Settlers, proud and free
    Plopped in the land of Unity
    Perhaps in the long run we'll be fine
    Wish we could see who's here online

    Ho ho ho! we never know
    Ho ho ho, we never know
    But here in The Settlers we'll stay tough
    We'll soldier on and do our stuff

    Be it a Geo or be it a Scout
    We try our best to send 'em out
    Open the Menu, click click clicks
    Count off the minutes to make our picks

    Check out our quest log, send R/T's
    We're gonna finish these trades with ease
    No, wait a minute, the quest's not done
    Looks like the units are minus one

    Ho ho ho! we never know
    Ho ho ho, we never know
    But here in The Settlers we'll stay tough
    We'll soldier on and do our stuff

    Hop to a friend's isle, should be a breeze
    But trapped in a loop of perma-freeze
    Why such a pain to do small stuff
    Thirteen minutes to place one buff

    Select our Generals, launch their attacks
    Stare as some others go out .. more sacs
    Can't cut our losses, there's no Retreat
    Watch as our battles end in defeat

    Ho ho ho! we're movin' slow
    Ho ho ho, we're movin' slow
    But here in The Settlers we'll stay tough
    We'll soldier on and do our stuff

    Cool-down timers that stray off-path
    Zone-buff buildings that can't do math
    End of production times - we just guess
    And here comes another darn Zone Refresh

    Ho ho ho! game issues grow
    But Ho ho ho, we'll never go
    Oh, here in The Settlers we'll stay true
    We love this game and we'll see it through

    Merry Christmas to all our Settlers who have been steadfast through these crazy times - exchanged ideas, helped with tips, advice, and encouragement .. and a healthy dose of wit and humor. This is a truly wonderful community.

    And Merry Christmas, as well, to our BB Dev team. Thanks for your continued efforts to make improvements ... we know you're looking forward to better times, too. To a great holiday season, peace and cheer in 2022 -CJ

    Thanks Perwyn and SP, for your very fine compliments. It was fun to mentally work on parts of this each time I was numbly sending out scouts - and helped to make that task seem faster, as well. Still keeping fingers crossed for fixes/game updates sometime soon.
