In the spirit of goodwill to all men, should we implement a timeout freeze for Christmas day?
If this were to be a feature of this site (all "religious" holidays are exempt from timeout and timebank), then people could claim Easter, Diwali, all of Ramadan, The Emperor's Birthday, Greek and Russian Orthodox Christmas (whenever that is; I think it's 10 days after Catholic/Protestant Christmas), Golden Week, Lent, etc., etc., as "Official Grace Periods".
No. Rules are rules, and people should take things like summer and winter holidays, and Crimbo, into consideration when they set up/accept games.

How do we determine which day is which?
For us in Australia and Japan, we're almost a full day ahead of the US/UK group.
Then how would we determine which days are worhty of amnesty?
Boxing day is very celebrated in UK/Australia, but is unheard of in the US....
The idea of giving amnesty on a day, while great in theory, just doesn't seem practical.

Anyone else wanna hunt some Skulls with me tomorrow, post your trophies in this thread....
But seriously, it is hypocritical to do this for only one religious group's holidays.
