Who the hell are you anyway? A compilation of Orgah summations.

Nice band!

Yes, yes they are.

It's more a sign that someone loves or hates you and your contribution enough to write about it

Considering that i steer clear of the backroom (i find it impossible to convince people of my point of view over the internet and have no real wish to get into in depth discussions on american politics) i don't have one, and it doesn't worry me at all

You will have to find something else that doesn't bother you at all.

sapi - Assistant Mod, from down under, at the Citadel who started one of the longest played games, Beat the person above you game, at the .org. Studied Japanese but didn’t like it. Typically steers clear of the backroom because it is impossible to convince people to change their views over the internet. Not a big fan of in-depth discussions on American Politics. Knows the way around a PC and M2TW.

Edit - little “s”, got it.

[sapi]

(oh, and my name is 'sapi', not 'Sapi' - that's one of my pet hates )

(How you remembered that i studied japanese is beyond me - it was years ago; now I only study english, maths science (all three strands) and ancient history )

[naut]

Modern History ftw.

[sapi]

I hate to drag this off topic, but modern history has far too much rubbish about australia and is very asia-pacific centric (as well as being far too political - i don't care about political history tbh atm ;) )

Ancient history is very interesting imo, and that's why i'm studying it.

[naut]

At my school we study nothing about Asia or the Pacific, the topics are The Arab-Israeli Conflict, World War I and The Fall of the Romanovs.

Now back on topic, who will be next to be written about?

[sapi]

Off topic: We study the rize of the nazi party, the cold war, the arab-israeli conflict, australia's relations with the asia pacific and australian political history

On topic: you?

[naut]

I don't think anyone knows me well enough to write one.

[sapi]

There is that

[naut]

You would think somebody would after 1755 posts.

[sapi]

I had that thought too

[naut]

Oh well I'm not complaining, it's more of an honour to write one about somebody than to have your own written. So I'll find somebody who is missing and deserves to be there and write one for them.

Yeah same here, I'll do my best then:

Rythmic, one of the surprisingly many Australians. Joined the Org in december 2005 and has been a solid contributor ever since, mainly in the Frontroom and the Main Hall, mind you. Successfully combining school, music and a hard life of partying with keeping the main hall the pleasant place it is, an accomplishment which deserves to be mentioned.

How's that, for a start ?

[Csargo]

Figured I'de add to Sasaki's to make it more accurate.

Sasaki Kojiro: Mods the Shogun forums, meaning he is one of those lucky, lucky people who get the title of moderator without having to do more than pop in once a week to make sure everything's ok. Also a fearsome Arcade player, who held a hammerlock on the high scores before Zain and Faust came along. Also Mods the Gameroom where he is involved in almost every Mafia game that has ever been hosted in there. The Gameroom is getting very popular along with all the Mafia games and I'll be the first to say that we're all happy to have Sasaki as a player and a Mod in our happy little forum.

[naut]

Many thanks, Dutch_guy.

EDIT: I'm an English Australian (pardon the paradox).

[Stig]

mmm very good read this thread

[Scurvy]

EDIT: I'm an English Australian (pardon the paradox).

I never knew there was such a thing, whats the difference between an English Australian and an Australian Australian?

[Martok]

I never knew there was such a thing, whats the difference between an English Australian and an Australian Australian?

Presumably, that means one of Rythmic's parents is a native-born Australian, and that the other is originally from England.

[Warluster]

Well there are a few meanings, but from my personal experince, an English Australian likes the English, and an Australian, bascilly (No offense) TOTALLY dislikes the English...

[AntiochusIII]

mmm very good read this thread

True, dat.

As long as I beat Somebody Else in escaping notice, it's all going to be alright.

(mumbles something about if people dares to write his descriptions he'll have to run away from the org in search of the headless horsemen, the Holy Grail, and some Chinese artifact I forgot the name of in Indonesia.)

[sapi]

An english australian is an australian of english descent (most of us are)

We don't hate the english, we just enjoy smashing them at sport.

There is a general dislike of americans though

[naut]

@ Martok: Close, both my parents are English and I'm a cockney berk. But because of the Commonwealth I have Aussie citizenship too.

[sapi]

@rythmic - why does being british give you aussie citizenship?

Using that logic an australian can move freely around europe (because they would be a citizen of the commonwealth => a british citizen => an eu citizen => they have free travel in the eu...)

[naut]

@ sapi: Sorry my last post was muddled. What I meant was that I have lived here for 7 years and gained citizenship. And the Commonwealth means I can have duel citizenship, so both for the UK and Australia without having to relinquishing one of them.

[Warluster]

Darn it, so some brits are becoming Aussies becuase of this commonwealth! That ain't fair (Well I guess it is)

And also, i guess Australia doesn't like Americans and Brits, but I dont mind the Americans htta much, its just the brits i dont really like

[Sensei Warrior]

I had no idea British/Aussie relations are so tenuous. Luckily for them us Americans are around or they wouldn't have anything in common .

Are you kidding? They deported the CRIMINALS in their Empire--the Irish and the Scots to a lesser degree, the Scots were sent to Canada.

[KukriKhan]

Steady Lads. This is a simple "who is who" thread. Let us keep it that way. If one has post-bellum English impirialist feelings, plenty of backroom threads avail.

[sapi]

There are far more descendants of free citizens than convicts living in australia today.

That said, lets be good and do as kukrikahn said and get back on topic

[IrishArmenian]

Hmm. Alright, but I hear of most Australians having Gaelic last names.
