I have to say that Deathifier absolutely must be there. He already is the human face of EU in the media and what a story he can tell at a convention. Although I must say it was the ND articles when he bought CND that really got me to look up PE back in 2005.
I'd have to agree Westy Missa and Dave has my vote and I would dam love to attend my self however family come 1st.

I'd like to recomend Missa and Dave.

Dave was my mentor, and I have no doubt both Missa and he are great ambassadors who show true committment, their attributes credit all of us in EU as Aussies .

I know Dave is an active mentor and a good advisor.

Dave fostered the split of the Global Alliance society to benefit both societies the GA and sister GAG societies to thrive as a multinational group of EU participants
That experiment has been successful and within that some good clean Aussie values and standards have been filtered out to Avas from all over the world...I am sure those who know Missa and Dave would support them in this application.

Gday All,

My application is in and regardless of the final outcome I have pre-booked my flight (if unlucky) and holiday dates with work....

I strongly believe this is a great opportunity to:
A) Promote an awesome online environment with good friends and an opportunity for many of us to prosper in such a dynamic world as this world continues to develop.
B) Meet new and curious gamers tired of the issues of the other online games that seem to pale when you consider the real life contracts that have been signed and the opening of future realms to expand this environment
C) Meet plenty of our aussie gaming personalities that live and breathe this game.
D) A chance to show MA that Australia is an important client base of their product and that we along with the other countries have plenty of feedback and positive experiences to offer and promote the one game that binds us all.
For my part I stand by my actions and deeds in the EU environment and need not list these here but would ask that if a number of our community are accepted that we ALL attempt to attend and meet so that we can put names to faces and share an ale.

To get the party started for us to get into the spirit of things I would like to publicly and officially announce that I banked $200 for a bar tab for those who can attend an after convention party on Saturday 2nd August....somewhere in Perth (all the westerners please help with a suitable venue) where we can meet and have some fun, conversation and celebrate our already successful year of putting AUSTRALIA on the map (WOF08). This is for ambassadors and existing aussie players.

Being the closest nation to CHINA and sharing alot of business ties as well as offering many students the chance for a great education in one of the best countries in the world. I am sure any of the Chinese and foreign nationals that hear of the expo will attend and we should show them some fair dinkum hospitality. I think a group of us attending the expo will give a united front and not only make Mindark consider further expos but maybe draw more new and long term friendships to the game.

I look forward to seeing you all there and cant wait to meeting you and sharing even more laughs than what we have in game and through TS!!!

Just remember when the others are stopping - we are just getting started!!!

All the best!

Bags

Sounds good to me! But where to choose? I'm more partial to the northern suburbs :/

You idiot! You don't eat it. You grease the bearings on ya caravan (trailer) with it.

I'll clarify some other things for ya. Wombats are for steering practice (driving) unless you have a roo bar and don't bother, Dingo's are used to thin out unhealthy children (natural selection) and roo's ( well not all the meat the US eats in its Big Macs can be beef).

I think the first aussie mob will be a drop bear. They are found in the wild and drop from trees and eat the brains of unsuspecting Japanese tourists. They have huge talons to crack a skull open and long snout with fish like teeth to rip through the brain matter. If they don't get full on the brains the snout is well adapted for entering via the anal passage and gorging themselves on the intestinal tracts of the victims.

New Aussie inspired mobs

From memory Australia has 7 of the worlds top 10 most deadly snakes. So a snake should be the first new Aussie inspired mob to be seen in Entropia.

And we couldn't go past the elusive Hoop Snake, commonly found in high traffic tourist areas of Australia.

The Sneaky Hoop Snakes.

Researched from the net "so it must be true"

An Australian snake that you don't read much about in the encyclopedias. This snake has not been seen in a number of years but the myth goes something like this:-
In the early nineteen hundreds, children would wag school and ride around all day on their push bikes. (not much has changed since) The resourceful parents in an effort to get the children home before dark made up the story of the Hoop Snake. The Hoop Snake, it was told, would lie on the sides of the dirt roads waiting for the sounds of the children on their push bikes. Just as the unexpecting cyclist would pass, the snake would then coil up bitting its own tail to make the shape of a hoop, it would then roll down the road trying to catch the cyclist. If it caught its prey it would proceed to bite heavily into the heals of its victim and no child wanted this to happen. As an result the legend of the Hoop Snake was born.
