Where is everyone from?? - Page 7 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thorongil · 02-10-2004, 06:44 AM

I see there are most americans here.... But at least I'm not the only scandinavian. There are even people from Norway here.

Saraphim · 02-10-2004, 05:14 PM

Sorry, I meant no meanness with my remark.

I only meant that most of the people I've met on here are from Europe, and thus have something in common, like GMT! But that is not to say that everyone else isn't cool, despite the lack of GMT.

I'm from the U.S, and I know alot of cool people. (not me though, I'm too socially inept to be cool

)

i live in a little bubble in the suburbs near atlanta, georgia. the bubble (peachtree city) blocks filters out southern accents, but it's suffocating in here. i want to move north.

To the best of my knowledge, it's been a long time since I posted on this thread, so my location - Glasgow, Scotland. In *counts on fingers* 6 months, it might be Edinburgh, Scotland.

Budapest, Hungary. A great crumbling city of a doomed empire.

Hey, are there ANY Albertaans here. And to those who don't know the first thing about Canada, that just my spelling for those who live in Alberta. That is a province. Okay fine, so not all Americans are that illiterate, but still...

GO CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, actually, I'm from Middle-earth... the webpage where men, elves, hobbits, Jedi, pirates and agents unite... heh.

CANADA RULES... well, actually, we don't, but that's not the point. But Alberta is cool, and not in the sense of cold.

Looks like most people are from USA, England and Canada, but there's a few from Scandinavia... Greetings, neighbours from the west!!! (Norway). I haven't met anyone else from Sweden yet tough... Hey, wait I just found a swede!

Eärendil...

I'm from the northern parts of Sweden, a little place called "Kalix". It's actually snowing here right now so everybody who's complaining about bad weathers, think of poor me

Maeggaladiel · 05-13-2004, 01:51 PM

Son of Númenor · 05-13-2004, 05:45 PM

I'm from Maryland, USA, just like Aylwen Dreamsong

(& here I thought I was the only one). We pride ourselves here in Maryland for not being the least boring or the most boring of the 50 states, but somewhere in the middle - the "Eh, we're mediocre" State, if you will.

Olorin_TLA · 05-13-2004, 05:47 PM

Uk, next to Reading in the (Berk)Shire!

Gothmog · 05-14-2004, 04:04 AM

Eowyn Skywalker, I know what you mean... I'm always trying to teach people that "no, it's not always snowing in Sweden, and no there's no penguins nor polarbears roaming our streets".

OK, its quite cold in the winter (down to minus 40 degrees celsius), but a few days ago it was +30 celsius, and it's only early spring up here...

Hilde Bracegirdle · 05-14-2004, 04:48 AM

I'm a former Marylander of many years, and have fond memories of the knats, water shortages and traffic.

But it is a green and beautiful state if you look past all the tarmac!

Quicksilver_Sprite · 05-14-2004, 10:27 AM

Anchorage Alaska. I've never been outside the state, and I deperately want to go to Europe. Start saving now, I guess!

Lhunardawen · 05-17-2004, 02:35 AM

US...Europe...*sigh*

I live in the Pearl of the Orient. Need a hint? It's in Asia.

HerenIstarion · 05-17-2004, 05:43 AM

The Asia is big, to be sure

, would you narrow us a search field?

I for myself come from someplace in between Asia and Europe, as Georgia is nearer to Middle East than Europe Proper, but is member of European Council and aims at European Union, so, it is to be said, it is technically Europe. But I suppose you people would be interested in seeing

The Map of the Barrow-Downers

It is of some two years previously, so not accurate, but gives the general idea of how are we spread out all over the world

Ophelia · 05-17-2004, 10:32 AM

Now you can add a green dot in the small country of Latvia , for it seems I`m the only Downer from the Baltic states even

Ophelia

Gorwingel · 05-17-2004, 07:05 PM

HerenIstarion does each one of the green dots represent one Barrow-downs member, or does it represent something like 10? Or does it just represent that Barrow-downs members live there?

That map is cool though, but it does need updating. HerenIstarion are you the one who made it?

Kransha · 05-17-2004, 07:51 PM

I may have posted here, but, in all honesty, I can't remember, and I see the need to take notice of all these Marylanders. I myself am a Virginian, reveling in my Virginianity, but I end up in Maryland often. There seem to be a lot of BDers checkering the US East Coast, more than I expected. Someday I must go up there and find one of you people...unless that would be considered Stalkeritis...which it very well might.

I'm lucky enough to live in a picturesque little town in Northern VA, very much resembling the Shire in its country, old fashioned goodness. No traffic, no hustle or bustle. Industrialization has crested the horizon, but is still far. Plus, though small and untouched by corporational tech, we've got eons of historical necessity, ala the home of General George C. Marshall, Marquis de Lafayette's favorite tavern, the site of the Battle of Ball's Bluff (one of the Civil War's first skirmishes) and other stuff too. Bonus points if anyone can name the town, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Thorongil · 05-18-2004, 12:54 AM

I could find me on the map, and I wasn't hee two years ago. Cool map!

HerenIstarion · 05-18-2004, 02:00 AM

Nay, I did not make the map, the BD team did it, we mere mortals (or humble dead?) simply provided our locations. Each dot represented the town, it could have contained anything from 1 to infinite number of members, according to number of those living there. Per instance, the green dot on Georgia (republic of, not US state) at the time of contrivance of the map in question represented yours truly solely, and now must be viewed as representing three members of the board, since two more Georgians of the same town (allegedly, since they rarely visit, though) joined the deceased

Okay, it's in Southeast Asia. Most countries in our area have "nicknames" such as the one I mentioned.

piosenniel · 05-19-2004, 01:22 AM

Lhunardawen

Penang, eh!

Kransha

Would that be the county seat of Loudoun County - Leesburg?

HerenIstarion · 05-19-2004, 01:35 AM

I'd utter a guess it is Manila of Philippines? Both it and Penang of Malaysia are called so, as my quick search via the net revealed. So, which one of those?

Manila

Penang

Lhunardawen · 05-19-2004, 01:51 AM

The Philippines it is, HerenIstarion. I don't live in Manila itself, though, but near, very near...

HerenIstarion · 05-19-2004, 05:09 AM

As I've said, the map is quite outdated. Though it bears no green dots on SouthEast Asia, I beleive we have several members from Malaysia and Indonesia. I do not recall anyone from Philippines besides yourself, but, well, I do not know everyone around here, after all.

Try searching for thread titled something like "People from SE Asia", in announcement subforum, and if there is no such a thread, start your own. I expect you'll be surpirsed at the number of people to turn up

cheers

Saraphim · 05-19-2004, 05:05 PM

Hmmmm... *looks at the map closely* That cannot represent me, that dot between California and Texas, of course, but does that mean that I am indeed not as alone in Las Vegas as I expected? Or does that dot represent some other city and I am all alone?

Help a lonely B-D'er!

Silent Sam · 05-19-2004, 06:18 PM

HerenIstarion, there is already a thread called "Barrowdowners from Asia" somewhere in this forum. And much to my surprise, there are actually some Filipinas in the Downs! Thanks for the concern anyway.

Each dot represented the town, it could have contained anything from 1 to infinite number of members, according to number of those living there. Per instance, the green dot on Georgia (republic of, not US state) at the time of contrivance of the map in question represented yours truly solely, and now must be viewed as representing three members of the board, since two more Georgians of the same town (allegedly, since they rarely visit, though) joined the deceased __________________ Egroeg Ihkhsal - Would you believe in the love at first sight? - Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time!

So, which one of those? Manila Penang __________________ Egroeg Ihkhsal - Would you believe in the love at first sight? - Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time!

Though it bears no green dots on SouthEast Asia, I beleive we have several members from Malaysia and Indonesia. I do not recall anyone from Philippines besides yourself, but, well, I do not know everyone around here, after all. Try searching for thread titled something like "People from SE Asia", in announcement subforum, and if there is no such a thread, start your own. I expect you'll be surpirsed at the number of people to turn up cheers __________________ Egroeg Ihkhsal - Would you believe in the love at first sight? - Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time!

Or does that dot represent some other city and I am all alone? Help a lonely B-D'er! __________________ I drink Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters! ~ Always remember: pillage BEFORE you burn.
