22:27.06BulletCatcheralpha1-2, because you are in South America you may not be eligible to vote.

22:27.36kierraright....you must be only person from SA

22:28.43kierrai forgot cari
22:29.33alpha1-2benji 13 - venezuela
22:29.48kierrabenji is german
22:30.06alpha1-2we are 3! apart... why only NA? no time to change this already? :)
22:30.54kierraextending it to SA, AUst, NZ, or asia.....lag becomes an issue
22:31.04alpha1-2oh, no benji, sorry... emmm... legend_13
22:31.05kierrathere would be much whining/complaining :)
22:31.12kierralegend lives in US
22:32.58kierragoes watch US vs Portugal and crosses her fingers
22:33.04alpha1-2ah, it's true: when Iplay on US I have from 180 to 220 lag; in EU, I have from 250 to 320 aprox.
22:34.04alpha1-2then Zac, jadespicy, and others never playerd Rikers?
22:34.09alpha1-2played*
22:34.22kierracorrect
22:34.50alpha1-2okay, nice topic to think about :) .
22:35.06alpha1-2(fo me, I'm some new)
22:35.11alpha1-2for*
22:40.02alpha1-2just a "innocent" geographic question: you know that NA is not a continent, right? (just checking)
22:43.25alpha1-2(hmm, maybe from 280 in EU for me)
22:44.22bradalpha1-2: no-one is showing up for you?
22:44.31alpha1-2no, nothing
22:44.51bradwho else should show?
22:45.04bradwho's from your continent?
22:45.46alpha1-2but I don't know if I should vote if I can't play anyways (now that I know the cause). Maybe I should, maybe not.
22:45.52bradwell, doesn't matter really, I didn't know of a way to include votes from other continents
22:46.12blast007alpha1-2: then you better go correct wikipedia!  "North America is a continent wholly within the Northern Hemisphere and almost wholly within the Western Hemisphere."  And Encyclopedia Britannica!  "North America, third largest of the world's continents"
22:47.26alpha1-2oh, sorry blast, from my education system: America is a whole continent. That is divided in 3 parts: North, Central and South.
22:48.35alpha1-2what did "Colón" found? America Continent (the whole thing) and he found part of the Central one.
22:49.46alpha1-2brad, according to our previous talk with k, we are only 2 from South *America*: Carioca and me (legend_13 is from Venez. but he is living in USA)
22:50.21bradthen Cari should also show up for you if he has logged in within past 6 months
22:50.32bradbut also doesn't really matter as it won't count :(
22:50.53bradnext time we can think about allowing votes from other continents
22:51.13allejoawww i'm not on the list :(
22:51.20alpha1-2then, nobody outside of NA/EU are alowed to vote neither like me? (for example, Zac, jadespicy?)
22:51.30bradallejo: it doesn't show yourself..
22:51.44bradalpha1-2: correct
22:51.50allejobrad, I knew that...
22:51.56brad~noob allejo
22:51.56aptACTION knows that allejo is quite the n00b! -> haha, n00b!
22:52.04allejo~brad
22:52.05aptbrad is, like, probably a typo for bread. Or maybe a silicagel lifeform that needs to be put in the microwave to be re-activated. king of n00bs-ville, or not-so-british, or a terrorist, or autoreport
22:52.08brad:))
22:52.21allejobrad IS autoreport
22:52.31bradyes
22:52.35bradhmmm
22:52.40allejocompiles brad
22:52.44bradwikipedia saying australia is a continent
22:53.43allejowere you taught that it wasn't?
22:54.16brado_O
22:54.34allejoaustralia's always been a continent...
22:54.59bradnot Oceania?
22:55.13bradwhat about new zealand?
22:55.28alpha1-2and blast007, I have checked it time ago, English Wkipedia and Spanish one, and I found some differences in the concepts. It would seem there are differences in both educational systems. I didn't researched further that time, but here I thought it would be a good opporunity to check it a little more :) .
22:55.50bradwell I just learned something new
22:55.52bradhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealandia_(continent)
22:55.59bradZealandia!!
22:56.13allejo~noob brad
22:56.13aptACTION knows that brad is quite the n00b! -> haha, n00b!
22:56.15blast007https://encrypted.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=continents&tbs=imgo:1  yep, various styles there.. some just have north and south, some have north, central, and south, some just have "america"
22:57.06bradI think they are all made up
22:57.07alpha1-2yes, Oceania, brad, I have learnt that too
22:57.20bradsee allejo, I'm not crazy
22:57.37allejo~crazy brad
22:57.37aptACTION drives brad insane by saying the exact same thing over and over
22:57.47allejoi think apt begs to differ
22:57.50allejo:p
22:58.05alpha1-2anyways, Wikipedia gives us just an idea/aproximation of the things, not necess. the truth (we always have to check) :)
22:58.39bradya
22:59.01bradI was never taught Australia was a continent though :p
22:59.46alpha1-2yes, and that is because you, me and others are not from US :) like the majority of people here are
22:59.55allejohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_of_Wikipedia
23:00.52allejobrad, how many continents were you taught?
23:01.02brad7
23:01.21allejoare North and South America one?
23:01.23bradAfrica, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North/South America, Oceania
23:01.25alpha1-2America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa: 5 for me :)
23:01.46alpha1-2oh Antartic... I think I remeber too :)
23:02.01bradhbu allejo /
23:02.03alpha1-2remember it*
23:02.15allejothe US doesn't mean Oceania, I think Australia replaces Oceania
23:02.23allejodoesn't teach*
23:02.44bradhm :p
23:02.52bradWhere do you put New Zealand then?
23:02.54alpha1-2but why do they divide continents? (now Zelandia is anotherone?) hmmm, suspicious
23:03.17allejoI think we just include it with Australia
23:03.31bradheh
23:03.35kierraMany consider there to be seven continents - Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Most students in the United States are taught that there are seven continents.
23:03.52bradyeah, I agree on seven :p
23:03.53alpha1-2brad just wrote it before, allejo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealandia_(continent))
23:04.14bradthinks Zealandia is wikipedia fiction
23:04.36allejohttp://www.teara.govt.nz/en/sea-floor-geology/page-1
23:04.50allejoif it's fiction, then New Zealand themselves made it up :p
23:05.06bradyep, made up :P
23:05.15allejoand so did National Geographic: http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/encyclopedia/zealandia/?ar_a=1
23:05.26bradwhat do they know
23:05.29allejolol
23:05.43alpha1-2well, kierra, but you are talking of there (US) again. What about Puerto Rico?
23:05.50bradare you watchin USA, allejo
23:06.14allejonope :x
23:06.29kierraPR is commonwealth of US
23:06.46bradallejo: traitor

23:08.30allejoeither that or i'm a sleeper cell
23:10.52alpha1-2wow "is an unincorporated territory of the United States" another interesting thing to be researched (as I remember it was a country)... weird things over the world... :)
23:12.00kierraPR was colony of Spain.....when spain lost Spanish/American war....PR was given to US
23:12.08kierraspoils of war
