So, I'm curious as to where all of CoN comes from. I know the poll's about continent, but please be specific, else I'll probably have no idea where. It'll also be cool to see how many other Englishmen there are asides from me.

And, as stated above, I'm English. Home of proper football. Rowr.

Well, India's not a continent, it's part of Asia. Also, you forgot Africa, and Australasia is spelled Australia.

That being said, I'm from AmericaTown.

It seemed for a long time that I was the only Englishman around (and even the only person from outside of North America, for some time), but we've been finding more diversity among members' origins lately. And that can only be good for my campaign to write all dates in a sensible order.

More specifically, I come from Nottingham (well, born a scouser, but I don't have the accent and I've lived here since 1990); home of Robin Hood and all, unless you believe those lying Yorkshire scum. Tsk. Stick to your own heroes like, I dunno, Compo off Last of the Summer Wine or something.

Texas. And if you don't know where that is, you need to go back to class or somethin'. >.>

Ehh, sorry. I always forget which is the continent and which is the sub-continent out of India and Africa. My stupid R.S teacher doesn't help in that respect, either. And I was gonna put Oceania because I'm stupid and forgot what the new name was, so I left it as Australia. Sorry if any of you are Tazmanian or New Zealand...ish.

I live in a nowhere place called Moundsville in West Virginia. We do, however, have the biggest Indian Burial Mound in the whole eastern US, the first state prison for this state at least, and that had the first something else or something.

I live in New England, which I love very much. I do not normally go into more detail than that when online. However, in the spirit of providing clues, I will tell you that I live about a mile away from a very famouse chicken. Ponder that.

It's stated on the right but I'm pointing it out anyway : I'm from Paris, in France. Yup, I'm the only french around here, to my knowledge.
