    Would have been a month ago. Canadian company (Canadian Thanksgiving is in Oct).

    Would totally want a ThanksKilling event though. Side objective for killers, protect the pies from survivors greedy fingers.

    Because Thanksgiving was last month, silly.

    But beyond that, between Halloween and Christmas, Q4 is already packed with events.

    I didn't know Canadians celebrated thanksgiving too...so many questions, like:

    Do they also eat turkey?

    Did the native Canadians try to steal their land too and Canadian Pilgrims had to fight them off?

    Is the Friday after Canadian Thanksgiving also a huge holiday celebrating the miracle of commerce called Black Friday?

    Also keep in mind that Thanksgiving in comparison to Halloween doesn't have such an international appeal. As a German I can tell we know that it exists and it's an important day in the US. But that's it. No reson to celebrate it as well.

    Like Freudentrauma said: I'm from Eastern Europe, and I have no clue what Thanksgiving is about either, other than turkeys. I'm guessing... some Christian stuff?

    It's an American thing related to the colonization of the territory by the English, IIRC.

    It's in celebration of when we took the land from those pathetic natives way back when. >:D

    Precisely. Survival of the fittest, or rather, most advanced.

    Spoken like someone who's completely oblivious to history (as well as Darwin's theory of Evolution).

    Given what I've heard from Americans, no, not really. EDIT: Are you familiar with Poe's Law?

    I was not, until I just now looked it up. I see your point; however, I would hope that you do not generalize Americans as bigots?

    Of course not, but if an American says something bigoted, unless I know them, I will likely assume it to be serious.

    Fair enough.
