  1. Can the promo be claimed tomorrow? Or is this a one-day promo?

    The first copy of the ShellShop Arbor promo package, courtesy of EMC, has shipped!

    And just to show you how great the ShellShop is when it comes to exploiting taking opportunities with a new promo I will now share the shipped instruction manual with you guys. With a little luck this can help you folks with constructing your own trees (though we obviously prefer your order @ the ShellShop).

    Welcome, and thank you for purchasing the Empire Minecraft Arbor promo, brought to you by the ShellShop. This guide will assist you in re-assembling your Arbor promo so that you can quickly show it to your friends.

    This is for real:

    I think I managed to write an assembly guide which is almost as bad as the assembly leaflet I got with the Ikea closet I got myself some years ago. I did manage to assemble it, and it was quite good, but the manual itself... :confused:

    So I tried my best to recreate that nonsense ;)
  11. This is the most wonderful thing I've ever seen. I'll order 20.
  12. I think you missed the point of a "celebration" for this "thing" in one country
    Edit: Going back the my earlier post here- this day isn't celebrated all around the world.
  13. Why not? catch up world, the US is pioneering yet another frontier all by its lonesome ;-)

  14. Mam! Get the camera! My tree finally arrived!
    In all seriousness, thanks for taking the time to write down all of that. :D
    Can't wait to put it on my tree tower! :)
    Ikea needs to work on their building manuals, I still have a box of screws and wood
    ...And a piece of paper with random doodles :confused:

  19. Educate yourself.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbor_Day#New_Zealand
    That is a list of 41 countries (even your own, oddly enough) that take part in it, and there are certainly people in countries not listed that participate.

    Instead of jumping at the opportunity to bring this up again (how many times now?), why not try to enjoy and/or understand it? It is through stubbornness and closed mindedness that people hold themselves back. I never knew of this holiday until today, never celebrated it myself, but now that I know what it is, I support it. It does not need to be integral to my life to be important.
  20. Happy Earth Day to all of you! Plant yer trees! *Meanwhile on SMP9, people are burning trees to celebrate Arbor Day*
