The end of the year is here, and so is the time for making resolutions! Some of us will resolve to lose weight, or be nicer, or get that promotion...but what about our little Settlers? They must have ambitions and hopes for the coming new year as well! For this contest, we ask that you share what your Settlers are resolving to do in the coming 2013 year. One grand prize winner will receive 1,000 gems and five lucky participants will receive 250 gems for their entries!

The competition between servers is fiercer than ever, and we’ve already saved countless Settlers from certain doom! Let’s keep up the hard work, or the terrifying curse will win in the end…and no one wants that, right? We have been updating the rankings every time new data is sent our way, and the US is doing well! I’m sure we can do even better though, right, guys? Let’s show them what we’re made of!

Oh tannenbaum, Oh tannenbam! Some of you may recall last year’s Christmas Ornament contest, where you made Katealyst's sad work plant a glorious Christmas plant. This year we are going to do the same, but we want to help revamp the Customer Support team's sad work plant. Think you can help us out? These ornaments can be any shape, any size, any idea; the important thing is that you use your imagination and some holiday cheer!

Ten lucky winners will receive 250 gems, and we'll (of course) print the ornaments out and hang them on our tree for a picture!

Ever since that strange old man burst into the mayor's house, there have been whisperings around the island; dark and sinister things. Rumor has it that every single general in the land was recalled for an emergency summit, and that dangerous things lurk in the near future. The militia have been told that they all need to report for an extended campaign on Monday morning, but none have been briefed as to why.

As mayor, it's your duty to help the generals begin preparing for the assault on Monday. Preparation is the key to victory, and victory leads to great rewards!
