This event is exactly about perspective. The game is entirely survival, and has been from the beginning. In the anniversary month of Adstringendum, we're going back a bit to its roots.

It does require teamwork. It does mean struggle. That's the point.

There are fireplaces in many houses, and there is wood available from many damaged structures. Fire is a very easy-to-make and reliable way of keeping warm. Further, there's layering. People make it through very cold conditions all the time.

Maybe this means someone has to pass on their scarf to someone without a coat. Maybe this means that they have to do group trips to the shops to make sure that no one passes out from the cold. It will require thought and working together and surviving.

Plus you're forgetting that there *are* some special-ability characters with a "Gotta save 'em all" complex. If help is needed, someone can call for it. Even if it means that a group of weaker characters bond together to help too. No one is entirely alone here.

It will be a struggle. That's entirely the point.

For flash freeze, it's not 100% doing that same thing over and over. It would be pointless to have an event that stops people from breathing because they were eating. It's a compulsion, it's not just that.

At this time the events aren't being altered.
