I just got an easter egg!

I got the "What's your favorite color?" easter egg after having "Red" in my name.

Here's hoping everyone had a great Turkey Day.

Any of you guys play Halo?

Every chance I get.

Good, you read any of the EU?

Nothing past 'Ghosts of Onyx' in terms of timeline. I have 'Fall of Reach' (Original Version, printed before the release of Halo: Reach), 'The Flood', 'First Strike', 'Evolutions' (Part one and two), 'Cole Protocol', and 'Contact Harvest'. I was going to read the Forerunner trilogy/Kilo-5 books, until I read the reviews.

As you very well know, a masked stranger with a pistol made an attempt on your life but moments ago while you were out on your lunch break. An emergency meeting has been called right here in the middle of the street after the would-be assassin disappeared over a nearby grassy knoll.

The Debate

"Oh dear! Oh dearie me, that was so rude!" coos your personal assistant, adjusting your tie. "You'll just have to prove to the citizens of Stjerne that you are a good and benevolent leader, and don't deserve to be brutally shot in the head! The only way to keep you safe is to make the public like you! Do something nice for them! Might I suggest a nice tax cut?"
---
"What makes you think it's a member of the general public behind this?" asks your Head of Security, Tobias Silk. "It's more likely to be the work of some underground separatist group trying to remove you from power! We've let them have their protests and their rallies and their free speech, and now they've taken it to the next level! We should be cracking down on this insolence instead of rewarding it! Show the people what happens to those who dare to question your authority. You've got to remind them that you, Leader, are their Lord and Master!"
---
"Whoa there! Let's not be too hasty, bruv!" says law-abiding citizen, Heather Singh, casually walking up to you and flinging an arm around your shoulder. "This sort of thing wouldn't be a problem at all if you just beefed up your personal security a bit. You could hire a few extra bodyguards and get yourself a shiny new armoured car! Nobody could touch you!"
---
"Hah! Like that will work!" snorts Sean Barnes, Minister of Waste Disposal and Sanitation. "They'll just come after the rest of us and destroy the government from the bottom up! No, we need to go even further - reinforce the Parliament! We'll turn Utforsk into an impenetrable fortress! Robot bodyguards, food tasters... no expense should be spared! We should all do our jobs through a complex network of computers so we never have to leave the safety of our offices again!"

So, anyone here ever get this one?

I haven't seen that issue before. It might be new, or caused by a high crime rate.

Can't be high crime. 'Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.'

I got another easter egg. This one was called "Should We Pull the Lever?" I got it for having "Holy" in my title. It's possible that the zombie invasion easter egg could come from having "Zombie" in your title, but a lot of people say they got it after they resurrected. PDHTN has resurrected once before, but I've never gotten that issue. If having "Zombie" in my title doesn't work within a couple weeks, I might decide to intentionally CTE.

I pulled the lever and
6 days ago: Following new legislation in PDHTN, thousands of cute furry kittens are trampling everything in their path (PDHTN has found 2 easter eggs).
I have to say, I didn't see that one coming.

I suppose there are worse ways to die than being trampled by kittens.

Grustan kick you out of your old region?
