Io Saturnalia! Thank you for 2000 citizens, without you this wouldn't be possible :)
Fun facts about Saturnalia: Saturnalia is an ancient Roman festival and holiday in honour of the god Saturn, held on 17 December of the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities through to 23 December. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves as it was seen as a time of liberty for both slaves and freedmen alike. A common custom was the election of a "King of the Saturnalia", who would give orders to people, which were to be followed and preside over the merrymaking. The gifts exchanged were usually gag gifts or small figurines made of wax or pottery known as sigillaria. The poet Catullus called it "the best of days".

This is where I belong... white perfection. I never belonged here, from my first day, on this defected error of an empty vessel timespace. I wish one day I'll have the opportunity to live this, with my men. Surely it won't be in the future of this decaying civilization, that is BROWN, like waste and dirt.
