If there's more than a couple that care about something on the forums in a holiday and there's nothing that does not fit with the forums in it, then other holidays may get global. However it will not happen too often as then it would loose meaning. The reason so far that it has mainly been american ones like thanksgiving is simple. They're the only ones that have cared enough to try to get it up.
We ourselves celebrate the norwegian constitution day heavily, yet we do not try to make global announcement of it since there arent exactly many Norwegians here.
However, it might not be a good idea to have religious holidays up here, as that might offend the more sensitive people from other religions. We'd rather avoid that mess if we can.
Now with the greatest of respect, the thread received three replies wishing a happy thanksgiving, ergo not appealing to a large section of the player base. I have/had no problem with Roket celebrating said holiday in the appropriate section, my problem is with an American mod taking (what I can only assume is unilateral) action to globalise said announcement.
This isn't a lets bash mods thread, nor a lets bash Americans thread, but it is a question as to how and why this happened? And is this going to become standard practice?
