As an oldie, I must say that I feel sorry for those people who found they couldn't play the game because it was in black and white. I do worry how you people would have coped years ago when TV was solely in B&W. In the UK, initially on 405 lines and then latterly on 625 lines finally giving a resolution not so good as the event produced. Oh yes and going to the pictures, which were all in B&W too.
Perhaps the one legit grumble was that many people didn't realise it was a spoof event and so were miffed when no tokens appeared. Even the concept of "event bonus" was a bit vague certainly to someone who went 100 Bks and ls before I got a DC, and still after all these years haven't got a white castle from SFTR.
Still it was something different - perhaps like happy hour with the gems some mini events could be sprung on the worlds with no warning, but as some seem to have trouble seeing things in B&W, no doubt colour will be needed.
