Well, while the iOS update didn't give away too much, apparently the Kindle version stated definitely that we will have a thanksgiving update. In the files for Level 59 was a certain Skin that could easily make a story for Thanksgiving Spoiler It could really make a great story. What do you want to see? |

I have a good one, what other balloons could they make for this year?
So far they made: Itchy, Scratchy, Blinky, Santa's Little Helper, Snowball II, Poochie, Stampy, The Grumple and Rusty the Clown.
Maybe they could make Smiling Joe Fusion?

How about a simple quest line like the first thanksgiving? One where I don't have to grind for 53 weeks...

As a Brit, I can't even remember what Thanksgiving is. lol
I just want recurring characters from the show or notable costumes. Not random unmemorable crap.

Not random unmemorable crap. you also realize what American's celebrate as the First Thanksgiving was a meal between Native Americans and Brits, so it is your history as well well, Thanksgiving is an American holiday in which we celebrate an embellished joint effort in which New England Indians helped the struggling Separatists (i.e. Pilgrims - Puritans) out of their dismal condition of suffering. The Wampanoag tribe sought peace with the Brits and they did have a meal during harvest season. While it was a moment of cooperation between Native Americans and British colonists it would be short lived. While the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620 with only 102 people (half dying the first winter), starting in 1630 - for the next decade - 10,000 more Puritans would land in New England and in 1637 would engage in the Pequot War named for the tribe that was reduced to rubble by the colonists. This led to a foundation of Praying Towns in which Puritans focused on converting Indians into "good Christians" by making them give up everything that made them Indian (i.e. clothing, hair style, language, name, etc). By 1775 the Puritans had taken so much land that Metacom (AKA Philip), the son of the Wampanoag chief who sought peace at the "first Thanksgiving," made war on the Puritans and after a short-lived victory, ran out of ammunition and the Indians suffered more than 3000 casualties. By the conclusion of Metacom's War in 1676 there were only 2000 Native Americans compared with 70,000 colonists in the Boston region. (that's why I am the Forum Historian) |

You mean you don't want a giant turkey monster that hijacks your game right when you log on, making you tap it until it flaps its happy ass to another part of your town, again making you tap away at it, before finally returning to where it started and making you tap it several more times before you can resume regular game play??????? Well sir, I for one would love such a Thanksgiving event, especially one that stretches 2 weeks into December so that the Christmas event starts late and carries though January..... |

(that's why I am the Forum Historian) An that is why I hate you Let me restate this for you: Puritans wore out their welcome in England, and everyone felt it best that they move a few thousand miles away. Instead of letting them die, the current residents of the greater Boston area helped them out. The Puritans quickly wore out their welcome again; but had nowhere to move to now. So they introduced the neighbors to "genocide", and said their success proved god supported them. And thus they were thankful; and created a holiday that we now celebrate with "binge and purge" dining. And we still can't stand the residents of MA. |

Leilani ... 10. A bazillion other game-changing inventions We make innovation look oh-so-easy. The sewing machine, the telegraph, the disposable safety razor, instant photography, Technicolor film, Rock Band, PET scans, spreadsheets… Yeah, you know you’re super-grateful for spreadsheets. So I guess Boston gave us Fluff to make up for giving us the spreadsheet!

A couple of them are probably eating a fluff-a-nutter while they're updating it.  |
