Family Get-Together Invitation
So let me start off by saying that I come from what would today be called a gigantic family. My mom is one of nine children. Between her and her siblings there are twenty of us grandchildren. So 2+9+20=31 people! We all used to get together every year for Christmas Eve and Thanksgiving. So imagine 11 adults and 20 children all competing to be heard and running here and there with laughter everywhere! It was truly a beautiful time we had. Family squabbles would go away and we would all just enjoy being together.
Now, what does that have to do with this? Well, Knox got a phone call from his mother the other day asking him to come visit because he hadn't visited her since he had moved in with Camron. He couldn't go over because Raylan and Kenzie were having a club meeting so there were 6 children currently in the house. Knox suggested that his mother come over there to visit instead to which she agreed.
This put the total at fourteen people in the house at one time; Six from the club, five family members, one grandma, two townies and the butler. During all of this I experienced the most beautiful moment in the game I've had so far. In fact, I hadn't realized how much I wanted it until then.
Camron made two party-sized meals; Blackened Bass for Raylan's club (The Kids) and Roast Chicken for everyone else. It was the first time that I had successfully been able to get all of the people in the house (excluding the butler unfortunately) to sit down and eat together. It was the noisiest, most fun moment I'd seen thus far. Yes, afterward there were dishes everywhere and broken appliances and plumbing that had to be repaired and cleaned but for that one meal, the game actually felt alive! I don't think my words are doing justice for what I'm saying but I'm trying.
My point is this: The game currently allows only I think 15 guests per invite and you have to click on each name individually but for special occasions such as holidays, birthdays and so on; if you throw a party or just want to see family, then there should be an option to choose your parents and siblings which would then automatically mean that their spouses and children (even grandchildren in some cases) would be invited as well. Or to even make it simpler, have an option on the phone something like "Plan Family Get-Together."
I don't mean making it a goaled even either. Those tend to become more work than play in my opinion. In some cases, that's okay and even enjoyable but for this, it's more just calling the family together and letting life happen.
Anyway so yeah, that's my reasoning for creating this poll and I hope it inspires you to click yes.
EDIT: There was a "It doesn't really appeal to me" option too but for some reason that one didn't get listed in the poll. :frowning:
