I don't think we will be seeing I16 tomorrow so do we get anything else special for our 3 day weekend? Extra experience, maybe extra prestige to support our Super Union (Group) workers, perhaps an invasion of 5th Column zombie Rikti?

All the city officials will take the weekend off. You won't be able to establish or maintain SG's. On the positive side, merit vendors will declare a special sale.

Yeah, 250 merits will get you a new mattress, but you don't have to pay till I24. Also, you won't be able to level at all because all the Trainers are off, too.

Schools are closed as well, so the buildings allowing entrance to Cimerora will be locked.

Hmm, I can see why you're confused:

Labour Day in Australia:

Celebrating the Australian labour movement, the Labour Day public holiday is fixed by the various state and territory governments, and so varies considerably. It is the first Monday in October in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and South Australia. In both Victoria and Tasmania, it is the second Monday in March (though the latter calls it Eight Hours Day). In Western Australia, Labour Day is the first Monday in March. In both Queensland and the Northern Territory, it is the first Monday in May.

Sorry you don't get the time off. Have some pie, pie fixes everything.

Sheesh. C'mon, Australia, get a *real* strong federal government to straighten out that mess.

I get to work on Labor Day. Double time FTW!

I have to work all weekend... And I'm salary, so I don't get any extra pay for working a holiday.

We like our government weak and disrespected, thanks.

We do get something nice for Labor Day - I don't have to work!

My scrapper doesn't need an AoE. She IS an AoE.

Judging by what usually happens during long-weekend Mondays, I suspect we will be getting an special extra-long maintenance session that lasts until around mid-afternoon.
