I agree with Leona on the customization items - the capes especially look really good. But I wonder if we'll actually have an area expansion next week. It's been over four months now after we got the Seasonal Forest.

Now I have a few suggestions for CIâ€S for next years Patriot event they are as follows - have a Indian head dress for a hat - have a mountie hat for a hat - have a captain America mask for a hat - have a stuffed puma or buffalo for a ranch decoration - have a maple tree for a ranch decoration

It is meant to be a sign of respect and honour as well as have spiritual significance and using it as a prize in a cartoonish game would be a double down on the insult. (Yes I know other games do it, but hopefully not those made in Canada) An analogy to help you understand, follows. â€œBoth feathers and face paint have purpose and often spiritual significance depending on tribal protocol and individual interpretation. In Native cultures, both feathers and face paint are earned through actions and deeds that bring honor to both tribes and nations. Individuals [outside the community] who wear feathers or face paint were not given the rights or permissions to wear them. This is analogous to casually wearing a purple heart or medal of honor that was not earned.â€ â€” Dennis Zotigh, Cultural Specialist, National Museum of the American Indian *Addendum: I do not wish to argue, but I need to use this teaching moment as I just had this discussion with my son, who is 19 and knows everything, and, I am a Mom so I have to add this! Politicians need to be politically correct. They know that someone in a huge demographic is likely to be offended and not vote for them, so they temper their words very carefully. A comedian, not so much . We as humans need to know, no matter what we say there is a likelihood someone will be offended at one point in our lives. The questions we have to ask are: Are we purposefully trying to offend to get a laugh, or denigrate another human being, race or â€œotherâ€, whether names of persons are added, or not? Does my freedom of speech give me the right to not only say what I wish, but also have others NOT be offended by what I say? And, when someone is offended, does it mean that they are too sensitive, or that I am being insensitive? Were I the person who was being denigrated, persecuted, bullied, would I have the right to be offended and speak out?

In real I am placing the Canada flag on the door, and small flags in the flower pots and hang banners and wind socks, and am all ready to hand out my famous maple cookies iced with Canada flags on them to all the neighbours. Canadians can be patriotic too! ~~~ I do have to ask ... how come I got a backwards cap and maple leaf glasses that look messed up (the stems of the leaves form a square with my characters lips... looks quite weird and the hair covers the maple leaf tops so doesn't look at all like expected) and I see Americans all looking dang fine in their "Paul Revere" garb! (As a matter of fact, Canadians are wearing it as well. AHEM!) In other words, my character is a dork and Americans look classy! Not fair! WHAHAHAH (Don't jump on me Raymond, it is merely a teensy weensy wittle whine) Next year please make up for it by having something more Canadian! http://www.aliexpress.com/item-img/NO-1-MASCOT-maple-leaf-canada-day-mascot-costume-custom-fancy-dress-cosplay-kits-Cartoon-mascotte/1752598947.html That way I can at least be a majorly uber A-one first-class dork! Addendum... PS: THIS YEAR is the 50th anniversary of the CANADIAN flag. You missed an opportunity to make us delighted and honour your heritage with say... a free flag gift from the developers... like the one on a flag pole, in the commons for Patriotic event. cough It could be the beginning of future additions like flags for any country people could buy and fly on their ranches and golf courses. (being flags already exist, no artistic pain to make and could be sold in the main area of the town hall from a drop down menu...) http://www.photius.com/flags/alphabetic_list.html

I don't think it's supposed to say "Chat Response", it's probably a temporary thing the developers were meant to replace with something but forgot.
