I find the boat does make a huge difference for me. Some bright spark a while ago pointed out that in the real world we don't catch fish with every cast of the net/line, but that doesn't hold much water when we can milk 100+ cows with one click ... does it?

I'm against eliminating one of our most cherished holidays in this game, simply because other countries may not care about it.

AMEN to that. It is wrong for anyone to ask an American based company to ignore its own holidays.

No - imagine harvesting your trees, flowers, whatever - and sometimes it just doesn't work. Lots of fun

I don't think anyone wants US holidays ignored - it would just be nice if other people got a look in.

if anyone has their own holidays they want to see head over to suggestions and post in an official thread

How exactly is it superstitious? Last I checked gathering your family together, enjoying the bounty of food that we should be thankful to have and taking time to stop and think about the mounds of plenty we have of everything in this country is not superstition, it is called being grateful!

Me thinks the update must be coming out right now! At least I hope that is the case it has taken me 30 minutes just to get one facility filled up. Still standing around waiting for my stupid xp to finish scrolling up.

AMEN! (oops...am I allowed to say that?)


Good grief....I do understand the Canadian POV though. Wished the Devs could find a way to work around that...Perhaps a year-round Seasonal Shop?

I mean, we have those who celebrate Father's/Mother's Day at different times too...

I just don't know what kind of load that puts on the servers......or if that just opens a can of worms. *ponders briefly*...Well...gotta go check my crops.

LOL. This made my day.
