Don't know really where this would go in the forums, but eh hey CCP are you planning anything here and if so do you know when? Btw thanks for all the newer specials and promotions you have done!

Or does anyone else know the answer to this question?

Another cry from a lonely sheeple.
Why dont wash your media that arrogance out of your head, instead of ze brains.
Why dont you go back doign your sheeple thing: buy, buy, loan, loan, buy, eat poluted GMO foods, breathing cesium-137 and being a consumptiondebtslave.

Tl:dr summary:

Why should ccp give out stuff? Only US has black fridays, are you saying you are special?

Wow, hmmm... the point of the sales is to promote more sales not give things away as far as I am aware.

I fail to see what this has to do with what he was asking about. Perhaps something was lost in the translation.

Only sheeple use the term sheeple anymore, didn't you get the memo? It's not radical and independent enough now that so many people are using it.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

No.

I'm just glad I don't live in that corporate meritocracy formerly known as the U.S. of A. No weird holidays created for the profit of corporate overlords in my country, thank you very much.

Or something.

Mr Epeen Cool

the fact that they bastardize halloween, christmas, valentine's day, literally any day someone did something somewhere with corporate slogans and sales pitches is about to make me move somewhere else.

i miss the days when costumes were handmade with love by a mother or talented seamstress to portray myhtical creatures of folklore, nowadays a kid wouldnt even know WHO baba yaga is, let alone know what a costume for it would look like, they wouldnt even sit still long enough to hear an explanation, just start bitching about their lack of a superhero costume from their favorite over-hyped tv show that has absolutely nothing to do with halloween or ANY past iterations of it, be they christian, druidic, or anything else.

The history of black Friday is not due to a made up holiday, black Friday actually came about slowly, and it was essentially the first day of the fiscal year that most retailers starting making profit. People would start chrsitmas shopping after thanksgiving, and a lot of stores saw an increase in business. They probably ran 'after thanksgiving sales' because, well that's what you do after a holiday. Over time thouse sales happened earlier and earlier as people wanted to shop sooner. maybe to get away from in-laws who the heck knows. So then they made the sales 'door busters' and more people came.

Now, stores are opening up on thanksgiving, because the consumer in the us wants them too. Its stupid, but customers tell stories 'if you open I will come'

Its what happens when your country shifts for a we, us, together, to a me, mine, f- everyone else society. I know what I blame for this, but I went to political.

To the op: no idea, I don't think CCP had any plex sales last year, and the clothes maker is in Germany, so no idea if they will do a cyber Monday sale.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Would not a Black Friday sale benefit everyone, regardless of where it was invented?

It has trivialized an otherwise nice time of the year and turned every electronics and toy store into cutthroat bastions of capitalism second only the the various world stock markets in their unbridled chaos. Sometimes literally, referring to the cutthroat part. We're not all fans.

It is something to stay far away from. People go crazy over stuff during this time. Grabbing for stuff they could get any time of the year.

Your reproof is something too round: I should be angry with you, if the time were convenient.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

I don't leave my house on Black Friday. Not as a boycott against the day, more as a measure of self preservation from all the idiots driving around to make the sales.

I get up at 7 am (because I always wake up at 6:30).
Make a leftover turkey sandwich.
Watch the chaos on the morning news while I eat my sandwich.
And go back to bed about 8.

Will I get banned for boxing!?!?!

Yes but, more sales means better economy, better economies means more sex, alcohol, and EVE! It's good for everyone.
