CuginoBaal agreed to drop the subject. Lets all do the same. Its really not a healthy conversation topic.
exactly, i've been misunderstood...i have nothing against american people nor am i xenophobic.
i only told how some facts seems to european players.
by me i would be happy to play a PC in the u.s.a. and compete friendly with many of you.
i like fair play and politeness.

there are some tendentious argument in your reply...but...again...i don't want to drop "fuel on fire".
no more polemics please, i don't like flames so i prefer to drop the discussion rather than continue like this.
edit.....
as i see in you reply you have paraphrasate me wrong just to prove some kind of inconsistency by me.
this proves to me the uselessness to continue a discussion with someone that want only to bash against me.
Yes, I exaggerated in paraphrasing you. It's sarcasm and I understand that doesn't penetrate language barriers or the internet very well. I didn't do it to make you sound like you contradicted yourself, I did it to point out you sounded hypocritical.
Point still stands that you DID provoke and insult and "bash" people first. But I'm happy to leave it there and trust that you're not actually xenophobic (a pretty ridiculous claim, you wouldn't be on this website most likely if you were) and hope you ARE able to make it to a US PC. It really sucks that the European OP system is so terrible, which I think IS a valid point brought up in this arguement of why you seem so quick to... yes... provoke, insult and bash US players for making a joke about Hans Hoh.
Originally posted by A-Rod Graham - I probably should've defined 'azn'. List of countries that qualify you to be azn:
China, Japan, Korea (N/S), Vietnam, Phillippines, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma, Brunei... I think I missed one.
Broadly speaking, if you are from or are descended from anywhere in Asia outside of these countries, you are not azn but 'asian'.
This distinction came about during the redesign of Risk, because controlling Asia was so ridiculously hard. If you want more information on such things, read The Clash of Civilisations by Samuel Huntington (the book, not the academic article from the early 90s). If nothing else (and I do not think much of his theories, for the record) there are some very pretty maps. Including a cute little dot of western civilisation on the southeast rim of China. Whether this remains now that our 99-year lease on Hong Kong is up has yet to be explained.
That's like all of Asia though except for India and the Middle East. I haven't played Risk in forever so I wouldn't know, I always assumed Asian and azn were the same thing. Where's Karl Horn from anyways?
As a side note, it's amazing how this thread has gone from 'Roy is banned' to 'Americans are xenophobes.' ;)
Funny how your "all of Asia" leaves out the largest country of them all.
I think the main point of "azn" is that it leaves out Russia and associated ex-USSR places.
Everyone forgets that technically, Russians are Asian. :p
