    Default Red, White, and Blue Antenna in honor of 9/11

    Hey Guys,

    I was commenting about another thread in announcements about this coming Sunday's special and thought I'd post it here also as this is the more often read folder.

    I think it would be a great idea for STS to produce a Red, White, and Blue Antenna in honor of 9/11 and distribute them freely on Sunday, 9/11/11 as it is the ten year anniversary of those tragic events and in memory of all those that have sacrificed for our Country. I realize players from other countries play PL and they could make their own choices about whether or not wear them.

    Perhaps they could automatically grant them to each character that way we wouldn't have to chase various Dev's all over different towns.

    What do you all think?

    I like it How do non-Americans feel about this though? I mean our country has certainly not been the only one hit by these horrible people.

    I'm going to agree with this, I think they turned down a red-white-and blue idea for veteran's day because it was only celebrated in the US.

    And other countries in the war might have different opinions.
    Let's think, how about the introduction of "The Antenna?"
    Available only on the first week of each month, this antenna shows how you show your patritotic love towards your furry developers and friends on Pocket Legends!

    How about making it a deal of the day for 0 plat then? It'd be a gift if you want it, but you can also elect not to get one.

    Also, instead of red/white/blue attenna, how about making the attena look like the twin towers?

    This is a pretty controversial topic. I'm sure STS doesn't want to enrage any of their loyal customers. So I don't think they will be biased towards this as well.

    Please Note: I am indifferent on this topic.

    I'm American, and if STS decided to do something for some foreign holiday or day of memory (however unlikely,) I would be totally fine with it, provided it has no offensive content in it. I say people need to be a little more open to ideas.

    I understand that some people don't like recognition of holidays exclusive to the USA because America is already so full of itself in all its tarnished glory, and it seems we're just glorifying ourselves. It's a common attitude toward Americans, and one which I feel is completely accurate ( ), but still unhealthy.

    --

    But back to the topic. The recognition is not offending anyone unless a terrorist or two so happens to play PL, so there should be no logical objection to something like this, in my opinion.

    Its about remembering the day and giving our thanks to the men and woman in uniforms who gave their lives to protect our citizens. I have a cousin who didnt make it that day. And we celebrate in her place, to show that she is still missed within our family. Being sad on that day would just mean the terrorist have won and by no means we should not make it seem like they have won.

    I agree with WoundedEagle and the rest on this one - it would be strange to give out sparkly vanity hats for our bears and elfs to commemorate such a tragic event. Also, why make them in the color of the US flag? People of all nationalities were affected by the attacks, and many countries volunteered troops afterward to show solidarity. Definitely controversial and don't think that antennas in game are the way to address it. (Sorry Kraz - I usually agree with everything else you say!)

    I'm totally okay with in-game events that celebrate happier national holidays from any country, like Thanksgiving day etc.

    Awesome idea. It would be a in commemoration, for those who were lost by the tragic and cowardly act that was committed on 9/11. Look, this act was committed on our home land...America, and STS, being an American company, if they so choose, has every right to go along with this idea, and every right not to. This game is not pay to play. They offer this game for free. So there really should not be any reason for anyone to take offense to this, no one will have lost a thing... we don't pay a monthly service, so what's the big deal...just continue to have a good time playing together, beacause that's what it has always been about. Just my two cents.
