I don't think Chris's Mass or the Dependants are terribly creative... I did really like the Hollow Eve event. That Was creative and fun. Though I can see how it was kind of like 'nrrrarrg' for the moon mages. My only complaint there was that event kind of died in the ensuing festival deaths.

This thread, as a whole, has disapointed me as far as the common sense factor applies to DR players. And that should shame you all.

Once we start writing it into English sentences, using a Latin-based alphabet, I don't see how the language snob in you is going to be a whole lot more shocked by using an English method to pluralize it.

Are you an actual snob with fluent Japanese, or just demand that people maintain the purity of a language you are not concerned with even learning?

I would prefer having festivals align themselves with some in-game events rather than International Terrorism Day (Halloween), or Our Religion is Richer Than Yours Season (Christmas), but it's nice having festivities of some sort, to break up the constant murderfest of DR.

This argument would probably be more convincing if Japanese weren't written in Chinese... or maybe it makes it more convincing, I'm not sure.

Do you need a care package of dictionaries and artisan breads shipped to your address? I worry.

WTB Buddhist holidays in DR.

You already stole the word Arhat as a name for a destructive womanizer, you could at least give us something in return.

Hindu holidays would be okay too, they're more fun anyway.
