Virtual Veterans Day

thrakazog

Veterans Day is great for honoring those in military service. But maybe we should also have a day for those of us who valiantly and selflessly preform those duties virtually. I mean, I'd hate to brag or anything but I've single handedly won WWII multiple times, from many different fronts, all without leaving my couch. I've even saved the planet countless times from alien and zombie invasions. Not to mention the battles I've fought alongside my fellow space marines against aliens on other planets. Am I a hero? Well I'm not going to make such judgements. I was just happy so serve. And I think I've served with honor. Regardless of how many retries I needed... Or, how many of my own soldiers I shot cause they had a cooler gun I wanted.... Or, finding just how many civilians I could mow down without getting in trouble for it... In the end I always got the job done. :-\ Is not a virtual holiday to celebrate such efforts in order? :rose:

You only get a holiday if you consistently fight for the same team... Me, I have a habit of switching sides somewhat-randomly, just to stave off boredom.

During the 80's I single-handedly killed millions of alien invaders.

But what day should it be? If you've played any WW1 game and had peace come out on exactly the 11th November then I call you out for cheating.

Hey, don't forget those of us who have spent countless hours sweeping the field for mines, marking them with flags and moving on to the next! ;P

I did save the world from Modern Warfare 3 last night. That's pretty close...

And what thanks do I get for lobbing birds at pigs [and hunting wumpuses]?

Does John know about this?

Hehe, I got a business enquiry this week from a Mr. Endian. Is he Big or Little?

does he make more sense if you swap his head with his feet?

There also needs to be a holiday for people who go above and beyond the call of duty. Do you know how many times I saved that princess or how many animals I freed from the dictator Robotnik?

You must have better luck than me. I only found her in the castle I was in like 1 out of every 8 times.
