I was thinking about this with the alliance I'm at war with, Worldwar 2 style, a 24 hour pause of Space for christmas.

I'm sure not everyone would be interested but it might be an idea, World War 2 style, to keep people from ignoring their families for 10 minutes at a time every 2 hours over christmas.

Maybe a Poll is in order, if it's worth considering, I don't know the community that well.

Either way, Merry Christmas all. Have a happy and safe Holidays.

I for me agree. Smiley
Big family and I have both the dinner at my place in 3 hours and the lunch tomorrow at my sisters place. Tongue

Lots of kids around, I can of course excuse myself to the bathroom every couple hours, but I think my family will think I have an upset stomach. lol

a nice idea but im pretty sure id catch hell for it, implementing it on such short notice. No doubt some will not want such a thing enforced. Perhaps in the same way it happened in WW2 you should suggest it to your enemies, it was an idea brought by the soldiers, not from the top down.

I totally understand, might be worth running a poll on in the future though, spirit of the season and all.

I did offer it to my enemies which gave me the idea to suggest it to the community.

Thanks for your ears, and the link to the suace on the story =)

if someone pauses space while I am finally active since my gf is on holidays I will fly to wherever the Censored is who suggested it and kill them.
