In most parts of the World right now it is bitterly cold and possibly snowing, sleeting, or hailing, or is starting to, but that is not the case in Shartak as I've learned. Winters in Shartak aren't freezing, but its noticeably colder than the Summer months. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or any other winter-oriented holidays aren't as popular in Shartak as in other parts of the world for two main reasons. One, I can say personally that the holiday feeling isn't really alive. To celebrate Christmas, you might like a pine tree, but there are no pines in Shartak, although there is an abundance of palm trees. In the case of Hanukkah, Shartak is not supplied with menorots (also known as Hanukiot), but more commonly known as the Jewish candle-holders. The same goes for the kinara candles of the Kwanzaa festivial. The second reason religious/winter holidays aren't celebrated so widely in Shartak is because of the Pagan Holidays of the Natives on the Island. The Natives worship and celebrate the god of Winter, Nylt. As I've been told by a friend of mine who has had much experiance with the Natives, their religious holiday, Torol'k lasts from around December 15th to January 1st.
In terms of my travels, I'm going quite nicely. Upon arriving at the mouth of the river that runs into the Ocean and into The Bay of York, I traveled up it until reaching ruins, where I have explored a little. Upon resting, I returened to my voyage, where I took a wrong turn and I suspect I am currently headed to Dalpok, and I need to quickly turn North-East to run into the base of the Mountain, from where I shall continue following the Mountian up around its tail and past Dalpok and reach the beaches of North Shartak. From there, I shall be heading slightly South-East to run into the East-Shartak Marshes.

Well, there appears to be trouble in paradice. After hiking to Mt. Shartak, I have gotten lost in one of its tunnels, and have been trapped in here ever since, surviving on rat meat and water from underground lakes and rivers. Let me tell you, these rats are horrible. I have woken up on mornings and found myself surrounded by rats. My choices are simple: I either find a way out, or die and get healed by a wondering Shaman. I don't know what to do at all.

It’s only a few hours until the New Year. 1957. What a year. To be honest, I don't know if it's really 1956/1957. Some people say it's as far back as 1600 and as far into the future as the 2000's. Nobody is really sure, as Shartak is surrounded by miles upon more miles of water and nobody on the island is able to build a boat. The Pirate's Ship was given to them, and sadly, they don't know how to repair it. I've seen the ship myself. The whole bottom is torn out and it’s resting on some sea rocks. Is there a difference between land rocks and sea rocks? Obviously. Not only does January 1st mark a new year of unknown number, but also the ending of the Native's religious holiday. Christmas was alright for me. I joined the regulars of the Czechy's Tavern in listening to Lutheran's Christmas Day Rant/Speech. It wasn't that bad. It could've been worse.
Alas, the Holiday spirit is too seriously great for some people. For example, my good friend, who is known as Serious Sam. He's a serious pain, but we all aren't perfect. He seems a little too happy this year. Upon me congratulating him on his 3-memberd goon squad, he felt that he needed to seriously kill me. Shame. Instead of seriously trying to reply to my 'congratulations card', he decided he seriously needed to kill me, thus proving he's a serious over-reactor. Can't we settle my serious comments on the Wiki, or do we have to seriously bring this into the game itself? Obviously the answer is the latter. Seriously. It is.
Who was that one guy who said "I'm going to bury your clan, and then bury you." to Serious Sam? Seriously, who was that? Oh yeah, me. I seriously said that. Seriously.

The Shartak Communist Party was formed in March of 2007. (or whatever date that is in Shartak time) Soon, the Shartak Anti-Communists were formed. I was thinking this would happen. Every time a clan forms, it opens the gate for another clan to form. That other clan is most likely an anti-clan. If I form the "Bannana Clan", some moron would form the "Margo Gang" or the "Anti-Bannanaists", or something stupid. Then, they feel the need to attack me. And fail. And get one of their alts to kill me. It's an annoying method called the "Arminius is a cheating bastard" plan. It works quite well. When not cheating, Arminius (or however you spell his name) is making stupid Anti-Red jokes. Okay, we get it, you hate the color red. Let's talk about Communism, not red.
People want to know why York is so violent, and I tell them it's not my problem. Their response is this:
Since your last turn...
Jim attacks you for 3 damage.
Jim attacks you for 1 damage.
Jim attacks you for 3 damage.
Jim attacks you for 3 damage.
Jim attacks you for 1 damage.
Jim attacks you for 1 damage.
Jim attacks you for 3 damage.
Jim attacks you for 3 damage.
Jim says: U R GAY!!!!!!
But honestly, I offered a Peace Treaty to Arminus of the SACs, which he rejected and made a stupid "DOOD BETTR READ THUN DEWD!!!!" comment. Well, you're dead, and I dunno who's red. Perhaps you're speaking of my blood stained machete that I've used to sever your head many-a-times before? That's red.
