Is it my opinion? Or am I stereo typing.

[Disavowed]

When I play late at night and the aussie/kiwi crew start logging on I notice a player quality difference. That time at night when a player joins & I hear that accent. I'm almost certain to have a quality player in my group. Is this because these guys are forced to learn to play the game better due to lack of quality players? Is this me just imagining stuff? I don't think so.

My opinion says these guys/girls play better because they're forced to. I'd love to get others opinion on this. Please chime in.

Although it's my inclination to suggest that our Oceanic brethren are more naturally skilled, perhaps you are noticing the +2 untyped bonus to all stats that a good night's rest provides. :P

That said, I notice it too

1. Few groups at our peak time leads to soloing/afking a lot reading forums/wiki
2. ????
3. Profit

[English_Warrior]

Yeah those Aussies are pretty good at games and sports.....must be all that time spent at the beach.


On a more serious note....seems that doesn't apply to the great sport of Cricket anymore......I love the smell of freshly claimed ashes in the morning.

It's the little victories that count. Baby steps, England.

too bad the kiwis are good at league, world champs, 4 nations champs end of last year thrashed the hell outa da poms, beat the all star studded aussies in the final in the game that mattered. rugby league a real mans sport, not like nancy boy cricket, full contact, up the guts, not padding and helmets, even rugby union is getting soft these days at least league still is a real mans sport.

Ahh but don't forget the English needed to top up their team with ex-pat South Africans in order to do it

[Saedar]

I have an accent, does it make you feel safer to be in my groups

ahahahaha someone got their undies all twisted up over that comment!!! no sense of sarcasm or humour!!!!!

[NaturalHazard]

maybe it has more to do with attitude and upbringing than it has to do with skill?

Two things:

1. I've also noticed that, for the most part, the Aussies tend to introduce a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to the parties I have been in.

2. Is it my opinion? Or am I stereo typing. ==> Yes it is your opinion, but one that I share. You are, in a positive way, stereotyping, but unless you are typing on one keyboard to your left and one to your right you are not "stereo" typing.

... early in the morning here in the US and hearing "G'day and welcome". I have NEVER had a poor experience when at least 2 of the other players were Aussie or Kiwi. ;o)

[Elyanna]

I do tend to notice that my morning sessions on days when I can play in the morning seem to be at a different pace and have a vibe about them that stuff will get done with little to no issues unless I hear the incessant droll of a young American

Plus that G'day Mate seems to make me perk up a bit more. I don't know why...

Strangely I havent noticed that recently. Certainly less so since WE KEPT THE ASHES...

(Sorry couldnt resist)

[Renvar]

How do you explain Astra?

Possibly a transfer from another country?

[Furbitor]

Let me be first to admit Aussiee's a FINE player, in all her incarnations, ... even back in the days when we was in Cult of the Six guild, before she formed Utopia. She has worked hard to get her guildies fine-honed to run quests in efficient and swift manner. Her accent is sultry and smooth, recognizable anywhere on khybber.

Ergo, Of COURSE your happier with An Aussiee in your party!

Meow!!
