No, added it as I thought is was funny, but if you can come up with something else, let me know and I will change it. The one thing though that I ask for is that you make it amusing.

Found a suitable quote that is OK.

You will just have to play a game and find out. ;) But it is from the last written words of George Eastman who invented film.

I liked the new quote! Not as mean but much funnier. George Eastman's suicide note. So sad I guess. But funny in context.

The Christmas version looks fun, and might be appreciated when the time comes. My only problem is that when I glanced at the Santas on the frame, especially in the small version, it looked like an evil red face, grinning at me in 1/4 profile and wearing a tiny hat. o_O

Santa is evil looking for two reasons. Many cultures have history of an evil counterpart (in Hungary it is called Ordog) and why would a nice Santa want to cut you down.

Geez, guys, how am I supposed to sleep now?

It's not an evil Santa face, but more like a jack o'lantern: the white hem on Santa's coat is a grin, his belt is a moustache, his mittens are eyes, and his beard is the peak of a strange hat.

Thanks ender, never noticed that.

And if you think that is scary, wait till you see the Easter and Halloween versions I am making when time permits. But I would like to get a Halloween version for this year if nobodies and Gilligan like them enough.

For the Christmas "skin", your first sentence should have an exclamation mark: "Help Rudolph save Christmas!" Otherwise it's like, "Help Rudolph save Christmas. Y'know, if you feel like it..."

And, too, I don't quite understand how the whole Rudolph story fits? Maybe, "Help Santa's reindeer save Christmas!" or something? *shrugs*

Maybe Rudolph has been hitting the shrooms and may not want to help. Rudolph story is just there for xmas flavour. Not sure how changing it from Rudolph to santas reindeer helps it any but will get that changed for you.

Here is Halloween. Let me know how it look and if you like.

The sad thing is, there may be a copyright on Rudolph, but the one on the "eight tiny reindeer" has likely expired.

As far as the Halloween one goes, I'm not sure what you have at the centre of the movement legend.

I do applaud the effort to provide seasonal variants of the map.

I was just thinking, since there are multiple players on the map, instead of one? Y'know what I mean? I suppose it doesn't matter that much.

With the Halloween theme, you should emphasize the "night" in "Knights" by either dropping the "K" or highlighting "night" or "nights", perhaps :)

The simplest answer is - yes Rudolph in this context is copyright as it is (IMHO) too close to the creation of Robert Lewis May (27 July 1905 – 10 August 1976) and as copyright typically subsists for lifetime plus 50 years you will need to wait until 9 August 2026 for it to come out of copyright! Note however that the old shuffle (a little change and creativity) can get around that problem as you can see by the Wikipedia article.
