Holiday Cheer

Ho, ho, ho, it's December, and you know what that means. Whether you call it Spacemas Cheer, Christmas Cheer, just Cheer, or some other name, it's time to celebrate the holidays!

What is Spacemas Cheer?

Spacemas Cheer is an abstract number representing the general holiday spirit of the crew (as opposed to just yourself or the entirety of humanity). It appears solely when the server is in Spacemas mode, that is, during December.

Rather than acting as some sort of morale mechanic or something that ties into the Motives system, Spacemas Cheer primarily affects spawns for two holiday-exclusive roles. At a Spacemas Cheer of 80% or greater, Santa Claus arrives to bring heals, treats, and presents as a reward. At a Spacemas Cheer of 10% or lower, Krampus arrives to disrupt people and give them a bad time as punishment. Grinches also have a goal of ruining the holidays for everyone by keeping Spacemas Cheer low.
