WHo are we ??

[stratege]

Yep, it would be interrsting for all of us to know a little better our nationality ... just to see if sh3 and subs interrest apply everywhere or only to a few country.



Due to forum limitation, i had to drop down my initial list of country , sorry folks






Sorry i forgot some of yours country .... there is so many of them

[Gizzmoe]

This poll is quite useless with only six countries in it. :) There was another poll a while ago which asked for the continents, even divided in North and South Europe and different parts of Asia, IIRC.

[The Avon Lady]

There was already a location poll taken here a month or 2 ago, the listed regions, rather than countries. Can anyone find it?

This current poll is useless. :nope:

[Nopileo]

I refuse to 'vote' here! :damn:

;) :P

[JScones]

Hmmm...decisions, decisions...

Not really france, but is the more nearest.

Norway, uppermost. Seems to be a good deal of Europeans in on the game. :D

[don1reed]

...since we're all neighbors...

in this globalization era to ask...

("Ape to Man" ala Historychannel)

...which family branch do we represent? :-j

[BettingUrlife]

The closest country to Japan would be .... ?

...since we're all neighbors...

("Ape to Man" ala Historychannel)

...which family branch do we represent? :-j

Well according to historians, about half of all Norwegians (meaning also millions of Americans, British etc.) relate to the viking king Harald Hårfagre (Harold Fairhair?). Isn't that so, Ula? :P Rumour has it he got around... :rotfl: He lived about a 1000 years ago, btw.

Seriously, I think I've read somewhere that if we 'count' backwards in time just a few thousand generations, there were so few people in the world that it appears we are all related... :o Meaning - I think - that the family lines have had to cross each other several times to be able to generate the number of citizens on Earth now.

So indeed we are all neighbors, and the original poll should only have 1 alternative: Earth! :88) Then again, maybe the 'bacteria' that contained the 'base' for life on Earth came with comets like the water, but we can take that in another discussion... :rotfl:

Sorry for drifting completely away from the topic. :roll: Couldn't stop myself... (counting down to a weekend of playing SH3).

[Ula Jolly]

Eukarya :D

[Fudge]

I, like Ula and Nopileo, am Norwegian. And quite proudly too.
(I still haven't got the game, but I've ordered it and anxiously waiting for the package.)

[Nopileo]

Velkommen, Fudge! :ping:

SH3 is good indeed, and thanks to the great modding community it can only get better! :up:

[Gunfighter34]

Nah, stratege, the poll is ok. You can't control that you're restricted to only putting in a few countries. Why don't we all just list where we're from and maybe in your top post you can tally it up every couple of days and just make a list that you edit. More work for you, but more precise than using regions, too. Nothing against Canadians, but I'm an American, not a North American. :)

[Shadow9216]

I'm an American, but just to be on the safe side I learned how to say "Don't shoot me, I'm Canadian" in 5 languages :rotfl:

Here's a pic of me in the office:

I'd put the image in, but don't know how to thumbnail in the forum.

[GrimKnight]

Northern Germany, Hamburg to be precise.

Canada.

In terms of where I was born in - closest to Germany, though I'm only 1/4 German. And Russia isn't THAT close to Germany, either :hmm:

I tried a search for 'Poll', but it only returned topics back to July 1st.

Anyway, I'm in Stavanger, Norway. South West in Norway, just South of Bergen (as seen in RUb 1.43 :)). The 'oil capital'. Which is probably why I'm in the oil business... :P

Here is a thread listing the age of SH3'ers:

[Damo1977]

I live in little old Adelaide, in the state of South Australia.....Like my profile says...............and NO I did not vote in the poll because I am not associating myself with the USA. And anyhow it would be easier for me to get to Germany than the US. I would only have to swim short distances and use the Island Hopping method not swim across one massive expanse of water.

[Der Schatten]

Thanks Nopileo, that "age of players" thread was some interesting reading! If you think the becks is good, you should try my homemade cherry brandy (I store it in an old Asbach bottle....and only use it for "medicinal purposes"....like after being depthcharged!).

[don1reed]

after a certain age, Der Schatten, you can join the "Curmudgeon League". Us old foggies have all the paint worn off and may be a bit rusty here and there, but continue to sink ships. :yep: I'll buy the next round.

[Ahoy!]

Norway, the part north of the Polar Circle. I`m surprised to find so many fellow countrymen here, after all we`re only 4,5 mill. But then 90% of us live by the sea. There also was a u-boat base 30km from my home and the district here is crowded with bunkers and shipwrecks from WW2. Not a surprise that u-boats and naval history is one of my hobbies.

[Abraham]

Netherlands, think there's actually quite a few Dutchies around here :|\

Yep, not that strange for a sea going nation.
Drebbel is our great example!

And although I'm a German U-boat skipper I'm not goning to take part in a poll that advises me to vote for Germany as my home country.

I sincerely hope the Dutch elftal is gonna beat the German Mannschaft with football tonight.
And to be even more provocative - if the moderators allow me - I hope we're gonna beat them next year at the World Championship in their own Heimat!

Canada, obviously from my ID.

However, I have so many relatives in the US, and my ancestors were among the first Anglos to come to North America, I really consider myself a sort of Canerican.

Well Gizzmoe, let's first see what happens tonight and let's keep an eye on the FIFA ranking of both countries.
This news was just released today:
FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking
France fall away

(FIFA.com) 17 Aug 2005

With only 24 ‘A’ international matches having been played in the last four weeks, there are few major changes in August’s FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking. Brazil, Argentina, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Mexico and Gold Cup winners the USA continue to occupy the top six positions, but England (7th, up 1) overtake Spain (8th, no change). Due to a devaluation of past results, the French (9th, down 2) continue to lose ground and they are now in their lowest position since winning the FIFA World Cup™ in 1998.

Oops, the German Mannschaft is not even mentioned...
:P

[Gizzmoe]

Well Gizzmoe, let's first see what happens tonight

Yeah, we will see. If you like you can come over and watch it with us, there will be a lot of snacks, beer, baseball bats...

Oops, the German Mannschaft is not even mentioned...
:P

We are already 10 places up, now at 11. :smug:

[Abraham]

That's a nice invitation, really.
However I stay in Amsterdam because we have the big SAIL 2005 festival, the biggest nautical party on earth.
Perhaps next year?

Yeah and that one - (much like this one too) neglected the fair amount of Australian sub simmers we have here, so if were you I'd be on the lookout for low flying boomerangs. :rotfl:
