I would dare to say in reality this is a very international web site. Sure the offices, as far a I know, are in America but many of the official contributors are from all over the planet.
BTW, I love many things from Canada. Bioware is a gift from Canada to the world. Also my favorite band Skinny Puppy is from Vancouver. Some of the world's greatest comedians are also from Canada. I also consider Canada to be more progressive in many important social policies than America. Universal Health Care is a prime example.

(Puts hand over heart) Oh something Canada! Something, something, mumble.
Great anthem you guys.
Canada rocks. Also, it's not just Canada that suffers from The Escapist self-centered American pigdog ways! Australia misses out of all the goodies too.

I live in Canada ON ftr and I have actualy won one of the escapist contests they mailed me the prize in about 3 months or so.
well you tend to look like that when you spend your free time punching out polar bears and being awesome in general.TheNecroswanson said:And wrinkly, and old. and angry.

"Hey you want to hear a funny joke, the Canadian Military."
On-topic: That seems like complete crap to me.

Being involved is bad. Staying low allows your country to escape the economic downturn undetected.Resistance205 said:

Thanks for the info.
/sigh....you have to wrestle them before you can just punch them out like that. And don't forget sticking drinking straws into trees and sucking them dry. Thank you Quebec for your contribution to the planet!zacaron said:I live in Canada ON ftr and I have actualy won one of the escapist contests they mailed me the prize in about 3 months or so.well you tend to look like that when you spend your free time punching out polar bears and being awesome in general.TheNecroswanson said:And wrinkly, and old. and angry.

If you guys got rid of all those freaky french speaking Canucks, we might think about letting you in our contests.
I mean, Canada is basically the 51st state anyways. I've been there, its basically a cold California minus the crazy LA people (that is a compliment by the way).

That's not entirely the point. Ignoring all the Canada vs. U.S "joking" that is going on, while there are international regulations that still have to be contended with, including Canada in a U.S. sites competition is relatively easy when compared to any other nation on the planet.Lukeje said:
The Escapist is either at the size or very near the size where they should begin handling the logistics of this. They have international contributors making the site popular with a significantly international audience. And developing "North American" competitions is a pretty reasonable expectation. For a site that regularly has contests and draws this is definitely a step that would significantly reduce the kind of alienation that results in threads with titles like this and likely increase the value of the business.
In short: yes I feel the lack of love too. It would be a pleasant surprise to see that this issue was being wrestled with which, with all due respect, I don't see at all.
Sadly no. Ireland was hit by the recession a while ago. Sadly, we are the same as everywhere else now. I don't think anywhere has been un-affected by it, even Australia was hit!Chickenlittle said:
