Why would we conquer Canada? We already took all their hockey teams.

Didnt read past the 1st post, so my apologies in advance to those whose thoughts differ. I would like the day to focus on friends and family. Having a real-time game competing with family time hurts. If I focus on one, the other loses. Either way, I lose. I dont see how a small break would be anything but good.

Leave it up, please.

Leave it up. If you dont have enough self control to leave the computer off and spend whatever time you should with the fam, you should probably start lookin into the SFC wing of the Betty Ford Clinic.

Just my $.02

I'm not sure it's about people not having the self control to not play is it? I figured the arguement was that because of a singular event that was likely to hit most players simultaneously, impinging on their playing capability, that they might take it down in "fairness" to those who can't get on because of those other obligations. Not sure how much I agree with the idea, but I'm certainly not adamantly opposed to it.

That's kind of like saying take it down through the nights (north american) for balance. Those in other time zones or on shift work sure wouldn't like a server that wasn't 24 hours a day. This is just the same with a twist. As for most players affected? Maybe half, for a few hours.

EmeraldEdge · « **Reply #28 on:** November 11, 2004, 01:10:42 am »

Yeah, I didn't say I agreed with it, just not going to flip out if they do take it down. I am usually not for taking a server down though, but I've been away a while so I'll certainly go along with whatever happens.

Family is more important here anyway, so there really isn't any choice as to what to give priority to on a personal level. Besides, who's to say if any side will benefit if the server does stay up? Maybe both sides will be equal even on that day, maybe they won't. No real way to tell, imo, just like any other day.

"So how was your Thanksgiving?"

"My what?"

"Your thanksgiving, how was it?"

"Am I supposed to thankyou for something??"

"Thanksgiving, you know, the turkey, celebrating whatever it is in history we're supposed to be celebrating..."

"Hmmm... and just who's history would this belong to?"

"Well, you celebrate Holloween dont you?"

"Never saw that movie myself."

"Errrr... how about the 4th of July??"

"Nope."

"Sacriledge! How un-American of you!"

"How observant of you. By the way, its Remembrance Day today, did you remember the fallen Anzacs on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month today?"

"The what?"

"I rest my case."

Ok, then do it by 50% + 1.

Should leave it down during daylight hours at least. Is nothing sacred in this country anymore?

Ah, yes, right in the middle of when all of our British players are getting off of work and have time to play during their evening. Good call, Diz, I'll have to make sure Mog knows who to look for...

You still have a favorable exchange rate on the dollar, so maybe tourism should be on your agenda. Time visiting can be aplied towards citizenship later.

13.4 Will time spent in Canada prior to becoming a permanent resident be counted towards my Citizenship application?

Time spent legally in Canada prior to becoming a permanent resident may be counted towards the calculation of the 1095 days required to qualify for Canadian Citizenship. Within the four years prior to applying for Canadian Citizenship, each day spent in Canada as a non-permanent resident (i.e. as a visitor) is counted as half a day, up to a maximum total credit of one year. Each day spent in Canada as a permanent resident is counted as one whole day

Um, try not to get caught while enjoying yourself here.
