Title: All Southern Hemisphere Players
Post by: sacronis on October 19, 2008, 03:17:40 am
This is a call to all fellow players from the region
Let your selves be known and a get together be organized
Maybe future events can be organized so we don't always miss out.

The southern hemisphere doesn't really have many geological similarities.

There's a couple of Chilean and Brazilian players about but spanish and portuguese is far removed from English, even more so toward that variant you kiwee's use. Hey Bruce??..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f_p0CgPeyA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f_p0CgPeyA) (yes I know you aren't an Aussie but i couldn't help it.)


As far as time zones are concerned, the southern hemisphere countries don't see a need for daylight savings and can't really see to sticking a broomstick up their rectum twice a year (changing those darn clocks) So they might be one hour back or forwards from their northern cousins(same longitude) depending on the time of year. And there for, keeping appointments with the north is quite impossible.

When I was in Wellington, I missed an appointment because they had moved the clock during the night.
And in most of the septentrional countries I've lived in, they never change the time.
