Title: Worldwide Aces High Players
Post by: Halo on December 27, 2009, 12:08:12 AM: Just curious about the number of Aces High players from each nation as of, say, December 2009. I remember in the early days there seemed to be quite a few players from Japan, Australia, and Finland in addition to the United States.

Would be interesting to see whatever list is available without getting into any company sensitive information.

Although would prefer specific or rounded numbers and percentages, even something as general as Most from x, x, x; Some from x, x, x; and Few from x, x, x would be enlightening.

Post by: Latrobe on December 27, 2009, 12:45:31 AM: I've seen a lot of Americans (of course), Brits, Aussies, Germany, Japan, Finland, France, Canada, South America, Mexico. I know there's a whole squadron of just Finland players. 1 of them posted a video of them in a sortie and you hear Finnish talk over the squad vox. Was really cool hearing another language other than English over the radio, plus I love how Finnish sounds ;)

Post by: LLv34_Snefens on December 27, 2009, 04:26:40 AM: Wasn't it in here that someone started a Google Earth map, where people could plot in their location? If not, then that could be a plan.

I'm one of the few Danes in here. Besides my brother, Teufel, I have only seen few others from Denmark in AH. At the moment I can't think of any other active (that I know of), but I can think of a few that used to play. StSanta, Danish, Greenbird.

Like mentioned there is a large Finnish community, and it isn't a single squadron, but more like 4-5, but they all use same vox channel when flying. Funny how a country's history can change people's computer interests. Denmark has a slightly larger population than Finland.

to add to your list the few is mainly British + European. We have aroud 20 brits (that includes people from wales and scotland) more if you include inactive. Of our continental friends;

Swedish, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, N.Ireland, and a couple of aussies.

We have had the odd random nationality come along and then dissappear off the face. Brazilian / Turkish / Mexican. Of all of them one of the most interesting was when I flew a different game, I had a Japanese player on our ventrilo server. It amazed me that two different people from vastly different cultures and backgrounds can play the same silly computer game and work together breaching any language / communication barrier.

If your out there stelux I still love you man. :aok

All that really counts is that there are players.... and non-players. :D

I really don't care what nationality everyone is... we all share the same main interests. On the flip side I get to hear some great accents in plane to plane chatter. This usually adds to immersion in FSO and Scenarios.

Hi Lusche!

Fortunately, we are abolishing the use of ü in Brazilian Portuguese.

But we still have ç Ç, à, á, ã, é, ê, í, ó, ô, õ, ú.

When chatting in net games, etc we use inernetese, and omit most special characters, writing coracao, instead of coração(heart), for example.

But this is terrible for kids who, sometimes, forget they're not in the internet and write awfully...

Tschüs! :aok :salute
