However, I do think there is a such thing as excessive sales (And I think they need to do away with blanket 20% off sales, so the points are even)
[...]
So, here a couple great sale days :
First Contact Day
[...]
Captain Picard Day
[...]
Federation Day
i don't like this.
you degrad, destest, making our Fallen Officers of United States Military look like it's joke to you and holiday to to you. this is really bad, bad example of what we have. America Exists because we have Freedom in our Lives, Freedom is Important. and this Thread will be Locked for such Bad thing you're thinking of. :mad:
I just wonder, how did the snakes leave the island? By plane? ...
Legend has it St. Patrick banished snakes from Ireland by... well... who knows.
Of course, archaeological evidence suggests snakes didn't exist in Ireland in the post-glacial period and were only reintroduced later, according to the Smithsonian.
Still, it's as good an excuse as any to go to a pub for pint in March or have a c-store sale.
I still think we should have it on my birthday. Hell it was Einstein's birthday too.
Probably should just leave it to recognised American holidays then. I'm British but that does'nt mean much these days so just stick with Thanksgiving and Christmas sales.
All the snakes leaving the island would be a great day to make the Ophidian Cane available
As far as I know, there will be Series re-runs before Season 4 - surely that will be your chance to grab those. Personally; I find them very useful. Everyone of my chars uses one.
Im just trying to figure out how Darren got the idea that asking for st patricks day sale is asking for a sale on memorial day or veterans day... unless he was thinking that this was going to be the next sale asked for.
St Patricks Day is hardly a religious holiday, it used to be that it was only an American holiday, but from what I have been told its sprung up in Ireland too. Sure Patrick was a real saint, and he has a day for him... but not all Irish folk are ecstatic about what he did to/for Ireland.
Anyway... as for putting up a sale to take advantage of veterans (Ie veterans day sales), Im against it... but St Pat's? go for it.
People probably died on St Patricks day. The man in question is also dead so wouldn't THAT be disrespectful to have a C-store sale?
That's why i brought up satirical remarks on all three: that sales kind of change our perceptions of the somberness (or lack thereof) of the various holidays.
For some, it might be offensive. Devs can obviously create a sale any day and probably time c-store sales around dates with federal or international holidays.
That said, it might be better to sidestep some controversy and put a c-store sale after the first of the month (when people are paid).

*These* are fitting holidays for a Star Trek MMO to celebrate with a sale, Imho:

True story.

Everytime I think of it, I get confused with the Pied Piper.. maybe they had the same flute.
Also, we never had a St. Daffy's day sale, so I'm against all other sainthood sales
Stick in some Code that makes all the ships GREEN for the day??
The Reman shield was a few weeks early.
We already have that, it's called "Reman Covariant Shield".
