You North Americans like to have a day celebrating getting rid of us Brits but what you don't know every other day of the year we Brits celebrate that you are not part of the British empire anymore
Before you all flame it is a joke

Sadly my computer is not up to the task and wont be until about the weekend before the founders are added.

You seem to forget that Irish and Scottish Americans celebrate Independence Day, among other things, whenever something is uncorked. Here's to King George III, the sanest Brit anyone ever met!

You guys tried that 200 years ago... didn't work out so well. But hey, give it another go, we'll bring the beer!

I'm certain there's a 4th of July in every country.

Well...yes ! We don't go from July 3rd to July 5th, that would be weird, right ?

Actually, according to polls, the single largest nationality represented on these forums is Russian. US comes after that, followed closely by Europe.

Yes but all the russian accounts on the forum are actually just 6 guys running zombie computers...



But yeah, I don't think PGI is going to celebrate anything, or else I'm asking for the 14th of July, national day of France, to be special and as a french guy, I will demand a beta-key ! Yes I can !

[Tooninki]

Argh! 4th of July is 1st day at work after my summer holiday, so in not in mood for partys, exept MWO (after work)

[Der Zivilist]

As pointed out in another thread, July 4th is the most likely date for BattleMech #14 to be revealed. So you 'Mericans might get something to celebrate anyway.

Thats cause you guys we're still Britain's lapdogs at the time. And Britain got cocky during the Napoleon War and after defeating Napoleon, and the continued impressment of U.S. sailors and imposing trade restrictions, resulting in another war with the U.S... and Canada happened to be the nearest British territory at the time.
But we're all buddies now *hugs*

Who cares about longer weekend? I have 2 months of free time now in Europe... no kidding.

[Hikaru]

Looks like they listened, cos 500 beta invites went out. Thanks, eh!

[Argann]

Canada is first, July first that is!

[Hikaru]

What I wouldn't give to spend this weekend in MTL... Yay Canada!

[IronEricP]

If they were going to bother with a holiday celebration, I'd rather it be an important day within the fiction. Like, say, Hanse and Melissa's anniversary, or Kerensky's victory over the Usurper. Or the founding of the original Star League
