I'm from the South, although I'm often not particularly happy about that fact, given stereotypes and people who seem to wish to confirm those stereotypes. That said, some stereotypes have a reason behind them. Now, I'm not going to say we would welcome an attempted invasion, but... *cough* more guns than people *cough*... sorry, had a cough there... I think we'd come out okay.

...on a more analytical note - I think it's fair to say the bulk of posters here either play, or have played GW games. GW is a British company, with more years' groundwork here, and its other big export business is to the US. It's expanded into Europe mostly and a few countries elsewhere besides over the last decade or so, but it's not like those markets are anywhere near as prolific for GW as the first two.

Just read the OP again and realised he wasn't referring to this subforum, just the forums in general. D'oh.

Yeah, well. anyway, I see people from all different countries posting on here actually. Not long back I impressed my family with my knowledge of different countries' flags, and I realised it was because of this forum.

Hey, that's patently untrue.

We won't be a fully anointed puppet state until the US finally runs out of natural resources and comes knocking for ours with more than trade treaties in hand.

I just figured you guys were busy keeping the man eating spiders from dragging away your children.

Also, I will agree that what Texan's and southern Americans speak in general probably doesn't count as English, if only because it seems like no one else can understand us. Weirdly enough, we can usually understand you guys just fine.

Unless they're from the New York area. Don't get me started on how those yanks in the Northeast talk. That's an even more screwed up version of English than ours.
