Title: Thanksgiving on PS
Post by: gogg on November 16, 2003, 07:48:15 pm: Even though Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrating the native americans helping us when we came to the new world that doesnt mean there cant be an all day feast in the tavern! I think it would be great if everyone just headed on over to the tavern on thanksgiving day to get your feast on!

Anyone second this?

Because Thanksgiving means little to me (and to a lot of non-americans).

I mean, what does Thanksgiving mean in Europe?
Also, they are busy with CB, arranging that will just delay the next release.

Me, I don\'t care, I\'ll be gone thanksgiving

If you were to have Thanksgiving in PS, it would not be fair to the rest of the world who don\'t celebrate it. Same goes for every other major annual holiday that people around the world celebrate in their own countries. There should be no favouritism.

Fine, can we have some other festival then? :)

Post by: Moogie on November 16, 2003, 09:05:20 pm: Of course there will be, if I have any say in it! :D

...Which I don\'t. ;(

[Edit: didn\'t make sense]

Post by: Tranor on November 16, 2003, 09:06:34 pm: we could just have a gathering for like a Fall Festival or sumthing on Thansgiving, and for americans it would be special to them and for non americans it could jsut be a place to hang out and meet new people and they wouldnt feel left out.

Post by: Half_Pint on November 16, 2003, 09:17:15 pm: Meh, you\'re all forgetting that Thanksgiving\'s already over. Oh yeah, you aren\'t Candian! Oh well.... :D

But if the devs don\'t want to support holidays into the game that isn\'t going to stop players from doing something special on those days. I think it would be kind of nice to have a little celebration for, say, Christmas, with any players who wanted to participate. In my opinion it\'ll happen with or without the devs\' support.

Of course, the holidays could be renamed and worked into the RP of the game.... Just a thought.. :P

Post by: _Atticus on November 16, 2003, 09:22:49 pm: Canadians suck.

Thanksgiving is great for eating and drinking alot.

Christmas was better.
Title:
Post by: elscouta on November 16, 2003, 09:24:45 pm: if you want to rename them, it\'s even better to create holydays from scratch. Because even called Yliakum\'s independancy day, a 25th December could still be bind to a real world event.
Title:
Post by: Half_Pint on November 16, 2003, 09:26:52 pm: Well, that\'s kind of the point, isn\'t it? It would be a way to celebrate the holiday in a RP context.

I\'m not saying I like the idea though. I\'d personally rather have the players organize whatever holidays they like, and have unique ingame holidays too. That would be neat. 8)

And Canadians do NOT suck.

Wow Moogie, and here I thought you with all your \"Venge quotes\" would know what he has said many times, life isn\'t fair.

Post by: Fish on November 16, 2003, 09:34:27 pm: Thanksgiving is just the harvest Festival. Most cultures have a Festival dealing with some harvest somewhere. So I guess the question is is there going to be a harvest Festival for plain shift?

Yep, but Mogura is under 18.

Said by Vengeance on dev channel (+english mistakes by myself)
The problem with under 18 is that they always said \'that\'s not fair\'

Post by: Axsyrus on November 16, 2003, 09:50:55 pm: YEAH it\'s time for Sinterklaas and maybe we can celebrate Pasen too :D

anyways, npc\'s can\'t give items yet and the rest of the world doesn\'t care about thanksgiving so i don\'t think you will see any activities in game..
Title:
Post by: gogg on November 16, 2003, 09:59:49 pm: I never ment it to be a celebration of thanksgiving... I just wanted a huge party in the tavern all day on thanksgiving...
Title:
Post by: Monketh on November 16, 2003, 10:21:06 pm: ... or a festival on the saturday afterward?
Title:
Post by: Kiva on November 16, 2003, 10:54:20 pm: I know at least one day that I\'m quite sure will be celebrated by everyone in PS - Newyears Eve. :D However, for all the other traditions that diffrent countries might have, I\'d suggest to keep them out of PlaneShift, and maybe try to invent some ingame traditions instead, like an annual \"Kill-The-Dragon Day\" or \"Day Of The Dead Lizards\". :)

Post by: Iamthom on November 16, 2003, 11:18:48 pm: Why dont we just celebrate the holiday that everyone knows of? The day where you give all your items to Milden, oh what a happy day that is for everyone =D

Post by: Xalthar on November 17, 2003, 12:02:51 am: I am looking forward to see just how the RP content evolves... If there aren\'t arranged any \"festivals\" or \"holidays\" by the devs, then they won\'t be attended by the masses (which I believe are going to be non-rp\'ers or powergamers)
Title:
Post by: gogg on November 27, 2003, 04:57:36 pm: update..

If you celebrate thanksgiving or if you just want to party, drop by the tavern today.
