    As far as the topic on hand; between this game and others that I have played, the Aussies/Kiwis and Europeans have always been top notch.

    Most the Aussie's play at off prime-time hours... the game and grouping have a pre-EU feel community wise at the hours they play. Smaller community leads to tighter groups.

    Many of the Europeans came from the European servers so - they come from the game.

    Agreed here also. Those funkey upsidedowners, lol, jk. Have a better attitude it seems. Leave it to Gready Americans(thats me I guess, we dont know what we have, its sad) to care more bout pixil cash than the quality of play or friends you might find. The laid back feeling Ive gotten from 98% of the Kiwis and Aussies Ive Grouped with just helps with a calming aspect of the game that is missing without em.

    Altho, they have no fears of letting someone know when they are the "problem" in a party either, lol.

    I like my Downunder friends, just wish I was on a closer timeframe with em so I could find more groups XD>

    Default Sterotypes?

    The Anzacs aren't better players, it is just that it is too early in the morning before they have starting drinking beer, while the majority of the US players are either tired, drunk or both. We all know that Aussies and Kiwis are always on the beer as soon as they get up. How else do you explain Kevin Bloody Wilson and Crowded House?

    And I'm still trying to determing how the Kiwis bribed the cube to create the HO Haka. I smell a conspiracy!

    They're Kiwis!! It doesn't matter..... New Zealand is to Australia as Canada is to the United States!!

    On topic: Of Course Aussies are better players! It comes with the relaxed attitude towards life and the fact that we just don't give two hoots about the big stuff....

    Off topic: England reclaims the Ashes for the first time in 20 odd years and you guys brag? Is that why Australia has won the series more than 70 times? Is that why Australia (over the history of International cricket!) been a consistently better cricket team than the English team? Brag now you whiny Brits, the shoe WILL be on the other foot again soon, and you'll be back to square one!!

    The hubby is Aussie, and despite how much I love him--he's a really crappy player! But yes, overall, I still prefer the night crew over the day crew for getting things done. And the accents. Actually, maybe they all suck and I just don't care cause I'm blissfully lost listening to them talk!

    aussie players do seem to be a bit better, which is probably because in Aussie, peak time is our night time in the US, so when we are playing (peak time), only the dedicated Aussie is still playing :]

    Wow, I really feel the love. I'm going to get drunk and log on tonight. "maaaaaate...."

    BTW its pronounced "STRAYA". People from STRAYA speak STRINE. Many people mistakenly believe that the national anthem of STRAYA is "Waltzing Matilda". It is not. The national anthem of STRAYA is I'd Love to Have a Beer with Duncan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uxTuUzgxzI

    For starters, the Aussies have to run a veritable gauntlet just to get into the game (or they did, at least). I can honestly say that Zoo(. . .)ol's crew is by far the best I've run with in my almost five years, here.

    Its a pretty good opinion Disavowed, and quite true generally.

    But I'm going to put my hand up and say I'm an atrocious player!
