WhoCares 0 Posted April 30, 2004 Depends on the part of Germany you live in. Generally, there are many parties everywhere, just because of the holiday tomorrow. But in some parts Freinacht/Hexennacht (as it is also known) has additional meanings to it (esp. in the Schwarzwald region and the Harz low mountain range).

SpeedyDonkey 0 Posted April 30, 2004 Quote[/b] ]The festival of Walpurgis, a night both of revelry and darkness. Â The nine nights of April 22 (interestingly enough, the modern festival of Earth Day) to April 30 are venerated as rememberance of the AllFather's self-sacrifice upon the World Tree Yggdrasil. Â It was on the ninth night (April 30, Walpurgisnacht) that he beheld the Runes, grasped them, and ritually died for an instant. Â At that moment, all the Light in the 9 worlds is extinguished, and utter Chaos reigns. Â At the final stroke of midnight, the Light returns in dazzling brilliance, and the bale-fires are lit. Â On Walpurgisnacht, the dead have full sway upon the earth; it is the ending night of the Wild Hunt. Â May 1 is the festival of Thrimilci; the beginning of Summer. Â Thrimilci is a festival of joy and fertility, much like Ostara; however, most of the Northern World is finally escaping from the snow at this time. And in practical terms it means that most swedes get really drunk and burn everything they can in a big ass fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

llauma 0 Posted May 2, 2004 The CiA server will be up at 20:00 CET. The time can be seen on ciahome.net You will need: FDF mod 1.2 Winter Nogojev 1.1 Kegety's russian weapons pack 1.1 It's not sure we will play winter nogojev but some missions still might need it.

llauma 0 Posted May 2, 2004 Anyone up for a game? If noone joins it's pretty pointless to setup a co-op night... I hope someone else is interested in doing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balschoiw 0 Posted May 2, 2004 I can´t come. I installed new catalyst today. It wasted my gfx completely. I uninstalled it and reinstalled old driver but problem was the same. Then I installed omega drivers and they didnt work either. I have reinstalled chipset drivers as well and now I´m sitting here writing that post in 800 x 600 and 60 hz I´m trying to fix it for hours now. Everything seems messed. Argh !
