A comment in the thread about recorded Isotropic games and horrible American accents led me to wonder, where do all of our players come from? I don't want anything more specific than country of residence, as I just want an idea how diverse we are.

I'll go first: I'm an Asian that lives in the US.

A white American, born and bred.

Maybe this is better as a poll? Also, theory has time zone data from the tournament entrants, which should be a decent sample.

WanderingWinder · « **Reply #3 on:** December 30, 2011, 05:18:03 pm »

Well, time zone data will give you some longitudinal information, but it's a good bit more ambiguous that country in a lot of cases... US being a decent exception (though there you can have like Canada and some parts of Latin America). But in Europe... lots of countries in only a handful of time zones.
Wait, how many time zones fit in your hands?

US, BTW

Hungary, EU

I've been wondering about this myself, good thing someone brought it up, although I think most of the players and posters here are from the US, but it would be nice to see some statistics about it.

I know there are a couple of fellow Dutchies on these forums like Geronimoo and me.

UKish here, obviously.

I was actually going to do something like this before but I wanted to ask many more questions but theory couldn't find a suitable multi-poll mod for the forum software so I didn't bother in the end.

Grew up in north Jersey, went to school (both undergrad and grad) around Philly, currently splitting time between Philly, NJ, and NYC as I try to find a job. I like the Northeast, we have four seasons and decent public transportation.

gl. Any chance I could know what county you grew up in? If you don't feel comfortable posting it you can PM. I'm currently growing up in Morris county.

I like it! I live on the other side of the mitten in Holland. For those Dutch people out there, it's pretty much the most dutch place in the united states.

Wow, lots of Michiganders. I'm originally from Greenville, Michigan, but am currently in San Diego, California.

I only know Michigan because of Detroit and Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine.

Oh, and I know the capital.

I have a brother in Flint, and a brother in law in Holland, I think. Is Holland near Grand Rapids? If so then I'm pretty sure that's where the brother in law is.

I'm in Tennessee myself in case you couldn't tell from the accent I type in.

I would have been a Michigander, but you guys lost/won the war with Ohio in 1835. At least, I think getting the UP's iron and copper in return for losing Toledo counts as "winning" for Michigan. I did live in Ann Arbor for 7 years though.

For the Michiganders, I'll plug ConFusion--not a gaming convention per se but lots of gaming there along with the SF/Fantasy stuff.
