Rebs Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Just had an email about that Merry Xmas steam achievement - something about it being a game in its own right or something - you have to play the game either today, tomorrow or Boxing Day - no idea what it's gonna be but SI state in the email that they'll be posting cryptic clues from this afternoon onwards - intriguing! Anyone else get the email - any ideas what this is all about then - the bit that gets me is when they say it's a 'game in its right' - got me baffled! P.S. If there have already been threads about this can the mods just close this - couldn't see any on the board (although I didn't search that much tbf).

Agent Tiro Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'm still waiting on the twitter updates for the first clue. But should be interesting trying to figure it out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWWROCKS Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 The obvious one would be to get to december 25th in game between 24th and 26th real life. They've had little things like this in the past like in a previous one if you reached April 1st in game on April 1st real life, you got a message from the board saying you get £500mil transfer budget increase or something. This turns out to be an april fools! I dont think it'll be that, but I am interested to know. Shame I wont be by my computer until 27th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Tiro Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Apparently its not that easy IWWROCKS. Having just gone through the Christmas period in game today I've not unlocked it. Plus I've seen tweets from miles saying that its not just playing the game on christmas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPompey Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I think you'd need to play through Dec 25th on 25th Dec Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Tiro Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 We're having a few tech issues with the #FM12Xmas achievement. If they aren't fixed by 8pm UK time, we'll run it as a competition instead. Thats miles' latest tweet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
