Looking for a national holiday somewhere for motorcycles for which date Settlers Online could justify installing (in my dreams) your wagon … so I found that the 23rd International Ride to Work Day for motorcycles and scooters is on June 16, 2014. I want your wagon in the game on that day. What free publicity for Settlers Online if it did that. I had no idea such a day existed.
I need to check if there are other holidays on June 16, 2014 which Settlers Online might choose to commemorate instead with a special event. Hopefully no one else celebrates something on June 16, 2014 … Apparently if you were allowed to pitch your wagon idea, you are up against the following Monday June 16, 2014 holidays: Bloomsday in Ireland to celebrate the author James Joyce, Fresh Veggies Day which is celebrated internationally, Day of the African Child along with Youth Day to honor the Soweto uprising in South Africa and improve education, and Sussex Day in Sussex England.
Of those competing holidays, you can easily merge the international one of Fresh Veggies Day by making sure the cart you design is hauling fresh vegetables along with whatever the character normally hauls. So that is the pitch I would want – on June 16, 2014 your cart is in the game for a day hauling fresh vegetables so Settlers Online can celebrate both International Ride to Work Day and International Fresh Veggies Day.
… That was a lot of work just to make a joke. Hopefully people like it.
