Isn't it coming up to the New Year? And a new century at that? IIRC the year is 2099, isn't it?

I'm sure there must be a potential for a big new year's party!

Actually, I just worked it out and it's today!!! Argh! I'm going to probably be at work when the Avlis New Century dawns. :-(

So the downtime is kind of like the Christmas holidays, then?

No - the downtime is due to the End of Century Bug.
Life is never as bad as you think it is, although that doesn't help at the time.

You mean all the scribes will think that its 2000 instead of 2100, and civilisation will fall apart?
