Well considering the sun never sets on planet crossfire, you could say
the planet is tidal locked. :-)  Of course scientifically Any planet
tidal locked with its sun would generally have all its atmosphere 
is solid ice on the far side, so that wouldn't work either.

Lets just say the uper atmoshere is misty and direct sunlight (only
difused light) ever reachs ground.

Hmmm... Lets just say it is all a bit of a mistery and leave it at that!

Who says the grass of this planet needs sunlight anyway!!! :-)

Also as all the images are slanted who says you are looking down from a
`sun' point of view, IE: all that dead grass is behind the visible walls
and buildings.

And lastly  --- Its a game, Who cares, get a life (see sig) ;-)
