Dear Settlers,

Whether you were late for dinner or to work because of The Settlers Online, today we'd like to hear your memories of it!

• What: Be Late For Something Day
• When: September 5th
• Where: Forum

Celebrate this special day with us and let us know if you were ever late in real life because of the game, or vice versa.

If you're more like a punctual settler and you think this is no place for you, you can still take a peek at the topic and share your opinion on game being procrastinator-friendly or not. 

Kind regards,
BB_Odhran
