Pacific Rim / Indian Rim / Oceania Gamer Poll

[Tonguez]

Can you put R'lyeh on the poll? Krug (see above) is asking where it is, and I didn't list it.

R'lyeh is the city where Dread Cthulu dwells iirc - so um its on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean seabed and well I don't think Krug was entirely serious (if he was well then we're all Doomed anyway...)

Ah. In that case, do not put R'lyeh on this poll.
We do not want the Minions of Cthulu noticing the ENBoards.

Australia (Queensland) is currently in 2nd place - Never knew there were 4(!) posters from this great state.

 

[arwink]

Crimsonescribe, I think there may well be a few more than that. There's at least four of us that hail from Brisbane, IIRC.

Voted for the same place again, Hawai`i.

And no worries about the Pacific Ocean going away, if we don't destroy ourselves, that wayward black hole will probably get us before then.

Mandarin is certainly not my language, but since I live in Taiwan here's the name in its native language:

Dai Wan - Taiwanese/F-u-k-ien

Tai Wan - Mandarin

China in Mandarin is Zhong Guo. Mandarin in Mandarin is Guo Yu (here in Taiwan) and Pu Tong Hua over in HK, Macau and the rest of China.
