Excerpt from: Reverse Map Game 2019
The Amurrakesh grow more desperate.
The Wolof rebels manage to capture some towns.
Europe
In Southern England (and Northern England, Wessex, Wales, Cornwall, Kent, the Westmark, Scotland, etc), the first Christmas Cards are sent. This coincides with Charles Dickens' publication of A Christmas Carol.

Excerpt from: Daria in the Background
1111 Glen Oaks Lane; 7:34 PM
The Morgendorffers were having their dinner late, as Helen had stayed late at work, hoping to impress upon the Partners that she was a hard worker.
“…Then they asked me to join the pep squad. They said I didn't have to try out, but I said, "Look, I'm new here. Give me a chance to get used to things." So, for now, I'm vice president of the Fashion Club, and that's it,” Quinn said.
“Sounds like a like a well-thought out decision, honey,” Jake said.
“As long as you can join pep squad later, if you want. Never know how much we can handle till we try, though,” Helen added.
“What about you, Daria? How was your first day?”
Daria sighed. “Well, my history teacher called on me as soon as I entered the class, but there are some interesting idiots in it.”
“That’s great!” Jake said.
‘What?’ Helen thought. ‘Jake!’
“I mean…” Jake began as he tried to correct what he just said.
Helen interrupted. “Daria, your father's trying to tell you not to judge people until you know them. You're in a brand-new school in a brand-new town. You don't want it to be Highland all over again.”
“Not much chance of that happening... unless there's uranium in the drinking water here, too.”
“I'm talking about you making a friend or two. Don't be so critical. Give people the benefit of the doubt.”
“You’re saying that It all boils down to trust?” Daria asked.
“Exactly. It all boils down to trust. Show a little trust.”
Daria looked thoughtful.
‘She needs to understand that being in that shell doesn’t help her,’ Helen thought. The dinner continued without incident.

Art Class was interesting. Daria knew she didn’t have any real talent in the subject. She knew that her strengths lay elsewhere.
