I know that I am extremely biased on this one, but Holland is doing extremely well. I know that only 1.5% of the people that visit GameBanshee is doing that from the Netherlands. Seeing this list, I must say that we are very well on the message board.

Yes, I am American, though my mother was Palestinian. But when we lived in GB, I went to their schools (not the US military schools) and developed a thick brit accent. When we then moved to New Mexico, I was seriously hazed by for it. I lost it very quickly, and now I can't even manage a passable attempt. I just sound like another idiot yank doing a weak Hugh Grant impersonation.

And I'm the only one here from Alaska?!? Okay, worldwide, I guess 1 in 1000 isn't bad representation. Besides, 44 others from US are pretty good company.

Chrissy · Post by **Chrissy** » Tue Feb 13, 2001 11:43 am

I wonder... If you start counting the USA per state... would Holland come out on top? Such a little country...

Don't you forget, the Spammer Society headquarters are in Holland (actually in Amsterdam

) and some of our most outstanding members are Dutch. So, there is no surprise here

Damn, Greece has only 3... NCT, where is the other one?

leedogg · Post by **leedogg** » Tue Feb 13, 2001 12:43 pm

i'm quite sure if you broke the U S down by state the poll would look alot different. i doubt if any state would have 10 people. IMHO.

I saw some guy,in one thread,but I don't remember which.The odd thing is that we are 11 people,here,dedicated RPGers,and only I post.It's time to kick some butt,methinks!

Flagg · Post by **Flagg** » Wed Feb 14, 2001 4:09 am

Well if you take the numbers posted by Karembeu relatively then Holland is probably the best represented country.

I am not sure whether to be proud of this. This could mean several things:

1. There are a lot of hardcore GameBanshee fans in Holland.

2. People from Holland really like to interact on message boards.

3. People from Holland have way too much free time on their hands.

4. All of the above.

Karembeu, there is one other Dutch GameBanshee editor (TheDeacon). So you can add another one to your count

Flagg (fellow countryman... LOL)
I think you've been double-counted... The Deacon posted one message for the both of you already... I don't know if you've posted one for yourself lateron.
But I was actually reaction to your little reasons for us posting... I'm afraid it is indeed 4. But very much 3 for me... Too much free time... Way too much...
