Thats why Kingpin, OnePageBook, Mickeymouse are all on the top yet they live in america. I think if its being called international/worldwide it should include the US.

[Charles Wirth]

Yea it would have been nice to know ahead of time. Looks like two of the Indonesian teams took first and second today on air or water. A chinese team rounds out third.

haha not to mention we got Mr Coolaler's Signature! YEaH! thats what i'm talking about! :yepp: :shocked:

[Gautam]

Looks like a blast. :D Wish we had an event like that go down in the US.

[T_M]

It doesnt need to be in the US for North Americans to take part does it?

[Stapler]

True, but I think a lot of people aren't so keen on 21 hour flights (SFO to Singapore). Besides, not so many people have $1000 for a round trip ticket, not to mention hotels.

Still, congrats T_M and Nightraven.

[T_M]

If its in the US, the Eurpoeans complain.
If its in Europe, the US complains.
If its in Asia, you both complain.

The answer? NFI

[dinos22]

i'm sure asus can do something for the US guys too.....it's a big market. :)

[hipro5]

Heh, heh, heh......Shamino was THE star there NO?.... :D
This little cute guy is perfect... :yepp: :up:
