Can we get veterans day for america?

Or perhaps just an International Graalian Remembrance Day, focussing on all countries and all wars. But then, of course, they'd make a joke out of it by selling hundreds of War hats.

Another idea could be to make it Armistice Day, which is on the same day as your Veterans day, but has a different name. Or Remembrance Day, which, I've learnt, is what they call it in Australia.

As I'm typing this I've realized that, because they're all different, if they did make a holiday out of them, there'd just be 'one-off' items sold again and again. So, I think, if they did make a 'holiday' out of it, they should do a week long new celebration, that IS foccussed on remembering and not buying hats.

Maybe they could open a red poppy field by the Memorial Builiding (or in it), and there you could buy a poppy ability for one gralat, where you hold it above your head. People would just make shields, but who cares?

People could also be encouraged to wear their country flag shields, like during the FIFA World Cup (but not the Rugby World Cup, I noticed ). I think other various things could be sold, as long as they're cheap and don't take away from the fact that there have been wars, where we blindly battled our beliefs, and freedom, and some of us died. You can't have a solemn celebration and say, "OMG there are new hats! Go and buy them! Yay! oh yeah and remember peeps died. BUT HATS!"

I take offence to the idea of celebrating war-related "holidays" on Graal. Especially September 11th rememberance day, that was a disgrace.

I remember when they did the 9/11 Nexus. So many people complaining. Never saw the inside but heard it was just a huge field with gravestones. Then they made an "alternate theme".

I don't agree with them either, but if they WERE added, what I posted would be my personal expectations, or something similar.  

Making profit off of wars and illnesses is just wrong.

Yea I'm sure buying a pink ribbon hat and a stop SOPA hat and a war related day hat will help those causes, oh wait, Stefan and Unixmad are too cheap to donate profits from those hats to the charity's or organizations.  

if they donated money fom gralat packs for one day i would be more encouraged to buy them.

No I mean like the 9/11 crap they did last year, signs and flags and stuff in the shop costed money! I mean like seriously, you need to pay to support the families of 9/11 victims on a video game? Not like the gralats spent help, same with the Japan shield on Iclassic when that tsuinami happened, how the hell is it helping? People affected wouldn't have the internet online to see any of that! It's not like it spreads awareness, who the hell doesn't know about 9/11?

What discussed me was that there were riots about opening Nexus so they can celebrate 9/11, then after it was removed there were a bunch of idiots making "Azrael crashed his plane into Nexus" "Jokes" everywhere.

The hats were 1 gralat, chill.

Well that may be. However it isn't like you to complain about the Game having extra graphics added. If anything these small celebrations should be encouraged. Nothing wrong with an update, even if the items aren't 100% relevant.

Who cares what they have to do with it? It's a nice quality update!

Why did you put quotes around the word 'jokes'?

Well, they weren't really "jokes" because they lacked humour.

I thought that was a decent attempt at a joke honestly. I take it you think 9/11 jokes are just plane awful? Personally, WWII jokes are out of Mein Kampfort zone, Anne Frankly I won't stand for them, but each to their own.
