To be kept and used for emergency purposes only...

Sachys: no, that would be the steam storefront - which oddly doesnt sell coal. :/

...yet!
Yeah, sorry, my mistake. The engine is where people go to sell things, like their souls... :P

J Lo: Or a power plant in SimCity.
New game, hard difficulty, built a nuclear power plant, $0 remaining. Should have built a coal plant instead, as I am now softlocked. ($0, no way to earn money, so no way to actually do anything.)

(By the way, apparently you can lose SimCity if you take out a loan and are unable to repay it.)

You should try. Nothing to lose.

InkPanther: They may find some cheap coal substitute. :P
It'll just be an automated email from donotreply@santaclaus-dot-org notifying you that due to rising costs and prices, you will get a partial payment towards your next electric bill. "Sorry for the inconvenience."

Imagine getting a lump of soul for xmas.

"...Honestly I can't believe the delivery van was on fire and the guy was still driving it. Gutted! Been after that Marvyn Gaye album on vinyl for years!"

More edible than coal, I would imagine ?...

Edit: And can be burnt too, I believe...

Santa is a really passive aggressive guy that rather than telling you why he has an issue with you, he gives you a lump a coal. In this case, he's giving a lump of coal but not telling you if it is because you asked for a lump of coal or because you're on the naughty list.

Trying to figure it out would make a good detective game!

J Lo: Disclaimer: joke thread

Hello!

Every year I ask Santa for something nice, but he gives me a lump of coal.

[…]
Just so you know, something nice is subjective, so… there you go…

J Lo: I'm thinking...if I ask for a lump of coal this year, he has to punish me by giving me something nice! Do you think this reverse psychology would work?
No, co'z in this case, he will grant you what you specifically asked for… which is a lump of coal!

Santa Win-win! :D

I'm hoping that ambiguity will work in my favour XD

And your prize would be... a lump of coal.

Santa is not going to tell you if it is because A) You figured it out and he doesn't like that or B) You failed.

I'm gonna answer this revolving around Santa's personality based on your story. The fact that Santa kept on giving you a lump of coal every year makes me think he's trying to troll you. Therefore, asking for a lump of coal still wouldn't get you that something nice you're asking for. Instead, he'd probably give you another lump of coal. Or a steam engine. LOL

Either that or he really likes him and knew about the upcoming energy crisis and made sure that his favorite puppy was prepared.

Maybe Santa would give you a different lump of coal, not the one you ask for.
