The Winter Fair Has Opened — Gloves On, Fun Guaranteed!
Now that the Winter Fair has officially opened, there’s even more to enjoy during the holidays! As every year, the legendary 11 Cities Skating Tour is back — a delightfully icy adventure. Skates are provided, warm winter sweaters are included, and dignity is optional.
At the starting point, you can choose your destiny:
Explore the snowy little city with its charming winter market (yes… freebies 👀),
or
Strap on your skates, grab a map, and vanish into the snowy landscape in search of all 11 stamps. Collect them all and earn the highly coveted 11 Cities Trophy — bragging rights included.
And don’t worry: hot chocolate with rum is available along the way. Purely for warmth. Obviously. 🍫🥃

For Captains Who Prefer Strategy Over Slippery Ice:
Captains who want to stay informed during the holidays can join our alternative program, guided by a different battle coordinator. To make sure you haven’t missed a thing, all recent stories are available online (facts… or gossip? You decide 😏).
There you’ll find:
-Updates from the past weeks
-The latest tactics
-And last but not least: early whispers about the plans for 2026
-News, Gossip & Glorious Chaos
Or maybe you just want to read the blog because it’s fun — and slightly insane. Follow the latest news, group updates, and the heroic (and questionable) adventures people survived last month:

📍 grid.kitely.com:8002:Catronian Archipelago
At the landing point, simply choose the sign that says “Winter Fair” — you can’t miss it (unless it’s snowing).
See you on the ice… or flat on it! ❄️⛸️

Greta van Fleet - Die Ursprünge einer Rock-Legende in der Making

In der kleinen Stadt Frankenmuth im US-Bundesstaat Michigan, bekannt für ihre bayerischen Einflüsse und familiäre Atmosphäre,
begann eine musikalische Reise, die die Rockwelt nachhaltig verändern sollte.
Greta Van Fleet entstand im Jahr 2012 aus der Leidenschaft einer Gruppe junger Musiker,
die in einer Umgebung aufwuchsen, in der Musik ein zentraler Bestandteil des Alltags war.
Die Band, die sich aus drei Brüdern und einem langjährigen Freund zusammensetzt,
fand ihren Namen durch eine lokale Bekannte namens Gretna Van Fleet, deren Name leicht abgewandelt wurde
und mit ihrer Zustimmung übernommen werden durfte...

Social Distortion – Die Unverwüstlichen des Orange County

Wenn man an den sonnendurchfluteten kalifornischen Himmel denkt, an Palmen und gut gelaunte Surfer, dann ist das nur die halbe Wahrheit.
In den Garagen von Fullerton, inmitten der Vorstadttristesse von Orange County, braute sich Ende der 70er Jahre etwas zusammen,
das weniger nach Sonnencreme und mehr nach Motoröl, billigem Whiskey und purer Wut roch.
Social Distortion sind nicht einfach nur eine Punkband. Sie sind Überlebende. ...
