I got a question that's been kinda bugging me. Is vmk gonna celebrate 4th of July? I mean can they even, because not only americans play vmk. What do you think they're gonna do if anything?

I really hope they dont. Canada had a celebration, 2 actually, and VMK never did anthing. England and Scotland, and some of Mexico, and alot of other english speaking areas had celebrations too. Did VMK recognize them? No. VMK is mostly America, and I really hate that. I bet they will have a celebration tomorrow. Probably something unexpected. Maybe a American Flag, or more credits from Fireworks.

I think it would be cool if they raised the fireworks credits on the 4th because think about it we would ALL benefit it. If you don't want to think of it as a celebration then don't think of it as a day to get a lot of credits, if they end up doing that.

And just to put this out there ... I dont think we should start talking bad about other countries... no matter what VMK does

Well, VMK DOES have a Main Street, U.S.A. just like the actual parks...key word U.S.A.

So maybe just in Main Street will be 4th stuff.

love me im awesome

I dont think they will since not everyone on VMK lives in the USA and therefor dont celebrate the holiday.
I think it will pass by like most of the other holidays.

So your saying, while all the Americans enjoy their sparklers on a happy Virtual Magic Holiday, us Candians/Irish/Britains/Scots should be happy you guys celebrate, while we rack up credits? Even though on our holidays NO ONE took any notice?

And just to put this out there ... I dont think we should start talking bad about other countries... no matter what VMK does

Agreed.

No offense but tough luck for other countries VMK is mostly American.

That is rude. Very rude. You just insulted about 5 countries/land masses/islands/areas of human population. And a whole ton of members of VMKF who in fact are from other english speaking areas.

Also, To the Main Street USA thing, What about It's A Small World? VMK should celebrate all countries, or none at all. This is unfair, and I dont care If VMK is mostly American.

Sure, I'm angry. But I'm stopping here. I dont want a flame war. I still hope nothing new comes out tomorrow.

Yea but VMK missed some American holidays too. They released different pins during Christmas. They did Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, St Patricks Day, and Christmas ( including the holidays other than Christmas). I just have to say VMK is pretty much only celebrates things that everyone does. I have not seen just an American holiday day.

So there was a best guest room. I am not going to flame but i am going to give you some advice. When those holidays come around. You should make a room and invite your friends over to celebrate. I do not celebrate any of those but i would glady come by and celebrate it. VMK is not trying to do just America. Like with the Disney parks they incorrporated different things from different parks. I think you should make a room for all those other holidays and invite people to come and celebrate.

Ok people who DON'T want to celebrate or have anything to do with 4th of july, then DON'T ! Don't get mad because some people in VMK are going to be walking around saying things like "Happy for the" I'm sure if you wanted to celebrate a holiday you wouldn't want people getting all mad, would you? I really doubt it. You could do the same, just make a room and celebrate!

To the people who WANT to celebrate 4th of July. Go for it, but don't get mad if VMK doesn't come out with something, ( even though i think that would be really cool if they did).

OK, this thread has gone way too far.

Think about it. If you lived in another country and didn't have any of your country's personal holidays celebrated on VMK, would you want AMERICA to have one celebrated and make discrimination? "I don't think..." that you would want that, WOULD YOU?

Even though I am in the U.S.A., I really don't want them to celebrate the 4th. this would just cause a huge feud between countries, and most likely get lots of people banned. Good people. Not just the ones that deserve it for doing that stuff every day.

The 4th certainly would cause discrimination. I hate discrimination.

All of you saying that the people who are concerned that it would be bad are crazy, I think it is YOU that are crazy, my friends.

In my opinion, I think this post has turned into a flame fest. We don't need a war over who gets to celebrate their country's holiday. And if anyone dares say that Disney and VMK don't do a good job to keep the bonds of the world, they are dead wrong. If you feel that VMK doesn't keep this bond, then go to it's a Small World Imports while you are groaning over how your country can't celebrate. Notice that there is way more than one flag flying on that cruise ship. Disney has worked for years to come up with products to entertain the masses and bring families and friends together. This post rips apart the bonds that VMK is trying to form. I am sure that when Virtual Epcot is released, Yavn and company will work hard on every room, not just the American Adventure. The only reason why that American Flag won was because it was a good design. No doubt that if someone built a German or United Kingdom Flag, they would look at it for Best Guest Room. One last thing.. Yavn isn't an American so why would he be favored to American things??

Agreed, adventure. The Disney Parks bring magic to the whole world, and so does VMK. That is why VMK was created. So kids from around the world can experience the Parks if they can't go to the real ones. I am originally from Brazil, but I live here in the US. I am glad of what VMK has right now, and it gets better. Remember: Just because they celebrate American holidays, doesn't mean they don't care about the other countries in the world.

I never said specificy that YOU'RE mean. Just saying that your statement was a bit on the mean side. I too, think that VMK should celebrate other holidays for Irish and Canadians and on and on.....I'm Irish, and I don't really know much about their holidays. So I would want to see more of that. And VMK BARELY celebrated any American holidays. Meaning: VMK pretty much didn't celebrate ANY holidays.

But, let's get back ON TOPIC! ;)

PrincessKala

To Everyone that is Arguing(sp?) Remeber this: Treat PEOPLE the Way YOU Want to be treated. ;) Okay now this is what i was going to say and please don't take this rudely:

Okay Some People Don't celebrate Christmas, Some People don't celebrate Halloween, Some people Don't celebrate Sait Patricks day,Etc, But VMK Did Celebrate It because,pretty much,it was an American Holiday.Now I know VMK Does celebrate American Holidays But Just think, The Parks The VMK ARE BASED ON Are in the U.SA. So if you Based Your VIRTUAL Game on Something In a Country aren't you going to Celebrate It's Holidays?

If you live in another Country, Why not go to staff and ask, or contact VMK And ask why they don't celebrate YOUR countries holidays.I would if i were you.Yeah I would be pretty mad too if My holidays Weren't Celebrated in VMK But VMK IS VIRTUAL, That's why it's called VIRTUAL MAGIC KINGDOM! But don't take It to heart If they don't celebrate your Countries Holidays, VMK IS JUST A GAME! Don't worry about it, Just go around VMK And Shout it out into the Skies! Or Like Someone said earlier, Go Make a room for your friends of YOUR HOLIDAY And Celebrate it with your buddies, have a great time but don't get Mad, Please don't.It'll Just make everyone mad and them The 4th Will be bad..:( lol

My Opinion is 50/50 .I think they Should and Shouldn't.Some people Would Be Sad and Mad from other countries, and People from the USA Would Be happy. lol Just If they do, Don't Be Mad. Don't Worry, Be Happy!! lol

If they Do have the 4th of July Celebrated in VMK, Maybe they'll Decorate Main street, And like someone said You can maybe buy a Poster that looks like a flag! I think they should have ones from EVERY Country So no one Gets Left out.LIKE SMALL WORLD, IT SHOWCASES THE WORLD!! Also Maybe they'll Have Pins Of Fireworks and Pins of EVERY Flag from the countries.And like Somone Said Higher the amoiunt of credits in fireworks.

Remeber: VMK Is like a Family. Like in Lilo In Stitch, In Ohannah's NOBODY get's Left Behind!

Everyone, please calm down. Let's think about this. No offense intended to the countries of the world, but Disneyland is in America. If it was from another country, I would have NO PROBLEM with it celebrating its home country's holidays.
Also, many countries were inspired by the patriots over 200 years ago stating their independence to fight for their own independence. It's not just about recognizing America, it's about recognizing freedom - no matter what country you are in. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..." And, before another ranting starts, "men" means humankind, all people, even though our country has not always done that.
Finally, this is a game. As long as new stuff keeps coming out, who really cares which holiday? Sure, recognize every holiday we can think of if it means new stuff! :) Right?
After reading some of these posts, Walt Disney must be turning over in his grave. Just take a look at Main Street and I'm sure you'll know his feelings about America.

I can guarantee you that if there was a virtual game based off a popular theme park that originated and was located in Canada and the staff was located there...the game WOULD celebrate Canadian Holidays. And I don't think players from other countries would have much of a place to complaine about it.

The United States is truly a diverse nation made up of dynamic people. Each year on July 4, Americans celebrate that freedom and independence with barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. Through the Internet we are learning about and communicating with people of different nations, with different languages and different races throughout the world. Bringing the world closer with understanding and knowledge can only benefit all nations.


it says 'different languages and different races throughout the world. Bringing the world closer with understanding and knowledge can only benefit all nations.'

i rest my case :) and i did not write that i found it on someone elses site.

VMK celebrated St. Patricks day -- Irish correct me if I am wrong
Christmas - can be anyone who celebrates
Valentines Day - anyone
Easter - nothing at all because is was primarily an American holiday
Cananda Day - Canadians - Nothing released
Fourth of July - American Holiday so most likely nothing other than individuals celebrating, which any person can do for their holiday.
Either way people in every country are proud of their country and should be allowed to express their views. It is not up to us to decide what vmk does, I am sure at many different points in our virtual VMK lives we have been offended by something it is " a Game" and we have little choice in the matter unless one of you is staff LOL so it is not up to us, so no sense in fighting or discussing this really. LOL
