Where are you from???

[gnesta_93]

This morning when i logged in to the forum, i went curious; where is everybody from?? Which country has the majority?? Therefor i created this poll. If your country isn´t in the list, then post it. And yeah, i know that i can see from which country someone are from by looking at it´s post, but i want to see the majority too. I don´t want to look at many(i don´t know how many members the forum has:P) members and write down at at paper, this is easier... I also want to know if there is someone else from SWE here:P

[cybrpnk]

[KIGO1987]

Another great thread idea. Well done on the idea. Did my vote:D BTW there is another island nation east of Australia called New Zealand, poor Lion cannot participate in the poll, ouch!:paperbag

Watch the french bar sear above all the other bars Like the Burj Dubai in the UAE. Lol.

It'll be interesting to see how many other Aussie pilots out there:rock

Here's another link with the information you've been looking for: click me (http://www.frappr.com/wipeoutzone). By far not everybody from the forums is listed there, but I guess you'll get about the same result with your poll as you have on the frappr map, without missing out on some countries like the netherlands, italy,.... :sonar

[Lance]

And Lance; where does La-La land lies???:P

It's a fantasyland that exists only in my own minds. er... mind. :g

[Rapier Racer]

Well thats me been told, Scotland isn't part of the UK, hmmm so much those 4 years of geography.

[Harvai]

Another Aussie here, and I really should get round to uploading some times. I want to see just how far up (really, I mean down) the ladder I am!

[KIGO1987]

Well thats me been told, Scotland isn't part of the UK, hmmm so much those 4 years of geography.

I thought Scotland was apart of the United Kindom, like Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Wales.

BTW way Harvai it'll be great to see some more Australian resident records up there:g KANDANG has got alot of No.1 TT records, Insertcoin has a **** load of high Zone levels ive noticed, and ive got some really high Single race records up there like De Konstruct and Vertica... BTW, INFAXSU you bastard, you took over my No.1 single race record on Vertica Black. Lol, only kiddin:g

[Lance]

AFAIK, Scotland has its own Parliament and home rule, but it's still considered a part of the UK, however loose the association has become. I suppose that if England goes to war, the English Parliament can still order Scottish troops to go.

[Is hoping 'Wales' gets home rule, too. I've not looked, lately. ;) But there seemed to be some move in that direction.]

[KIGO1987]

Interesting trivia there Lance. Im always interested in a bid of history and politics, wasnt quite sure about the structure of the United Kingdom. But now in know a bit more knowledge.

Hey heres some history stuff from here. Back in the 1980's during the 'Bond' era there was intention to segregate the state of Western Australia from the rest of Australia and create its own country, never happened. Would of been interesting if that did happen. Now the country wants to separate it from the commonwealth, and create a republic, so this country might have its first president in a few years time.

[Lance]

"Interesting trivia there...."

I'm a very trivial person.

----------

W.A. and E.A? Would that be with or without a civil war?
I don't suppose either Sydney or Perth would fight over wanting Canberra. :D

[ZenDJiNN]

I'm from Britain, but currently living in the South of France. :)

[KIGO1987]

Civil war or no civil war... im not sure about that. I think the guys in the eastern states couldnt give a flying fk about us. Lol. We are so far away from everywhere Lance. Perth is the most isolated city in the world, its 4000km to the nearest city and thats Adelaide, and thats a bit of a hole....:paperbag lol. If we where to segregate from the country our economy is that strong due to our mining boom that im sure we would keep on going strong ourselves (our local economy is dictated from the huge demand of iron and other mining resources from China) BHP HQ is now moving from Melbourne to Perth, thats evidence on how strong the economy is here (a new state government also has been elected here a few weeks ago, i hope the dont **** up the economy). ATM BHP are constucting the tallest commercial building in Aus right here. Our economy here has not been hit by the gobal credit crunch yet... Since our economy is more depenent on ASEAN nations rather than the US.

'...for we are girt by sea!' \m/
Should I put my heritage or where I live?
Oh well, it'll have to be my present position. My heritage isn't on the list.
I didn't think I had zone records posted anywhere? :S

[KIGO1987]

Must be 4:30 in the morning there Insertcoin. Damn! You must be tired......:robot

I saw some of your zone records on Wipeout-Game website, Moa Therma and a few other i noticed. Damn, there pretty good:g

[Asayyeah]

From Jay's list it appears to be an 'interesting' number associated to pilots coming from France :P

69

the 'gimme i give you' magic number :P

[Lance]

There can be pleasure in numbers.

Must be 4:30 in the morning there Insertcoin. Damn! You must be tired......:robot

Heh heh I wish... I'm in Alaska atm =D

[Amon]

Italy here guys.

[Harvai]

BTW way Harvai it'll be great to see some more Australian resident records up there:g

I have no idea where I'll place, but no doubt I'll cry when I see some of those records...

If I can tear myself away from Flatout PSP and GRID, that is...

[gnesta_93]

Italy here guys.

****!! How could i forget italy???
And i´m very curious who the other swedish member is:P!???

[borell]

Hej gnesta, det är jag det. ;)

Hi gnesta, that would be me. You will see me listed as a Swedish pilot in the records tables (Stefan Borell). I am currently located in Oslo, though—which is what I have listed under 'Location' in the forum profile.

[gnesta_93]

Ok fun!:D Feels good to know that im not the only swedish here. I haven´t seen some swedish players post, yet, so..:lol

Ok kul!:D känns skönt att veta att man inte är den enda svenska spelare här. Jag har inte sett nåt svensk inlägg här, än, så..:lol
förens nu ofc...

[borell]

zargz is Swedish, and Skvall too, right? Skvall posted something earlier today.

I have met zargz in Stockholm a couple of times. A lot of fun! :g

Did I forget someone (i.e. active Swedes)?

[Lance]

Zargz/Pavel was originally Bulgarian, but lives most of the time in Sweden, though he spent a lot of time in Thailand too. zargz gets around! :) He's a Zargzian. :D

And there's 'Wamdue', who used to be in Sweden, but hasn't been around the WZ lately, so I don't know what country he lives in now.

It would be interesting to "weight" the places where folks are from by total population, to see if some countries are especially represented disproportionately....

[KIGO1987]

You mean a Per Capita count Francis? That'll be a effect way to display statistics, some one should think of doing it....

[RJ O'Connell]

It would be interesting to "weight" the places where folks are from by total population, to see if some countries are especially represented disproportionately....
Japan would certainly be on the list. There are very few active users from JP.

[blixabargeld]

What about the "italian boot"? :rolleyes:

[Kscorps]

Any other guys from Dallas here?

[rdmx]

Per capita, I think the award would go to either Canada or Australia.
That is unless someone from Liechenstein or Vatican City decides to join :eek

[ceniack]

USA here, Edmond, Oklahoma to be exact, about 5 miles north of Oklahoma City
