Re: The Japanese in Haven
I remember buying loads of clay from a japanese village earlier in this world. And also trying to get a japanese newbie to talk to me about how they were attacked by Dis in the peace grid (didn't get any hard info, they were too scared of reprisal). I must have annoyed tonky so much, she had to translate for me 
oh yeah, and the random meetings with japanese players in the wilderness - for some reason all ~3 or so didn't think walls were important. They had cheese and metal industry, but no walls...

I have only ever met friendly Russians, I think they get a very bad press, lol, it was the same when I played Salem, the first person I met there was a russian who gave me loads of tips and advice on how best to play.
I will add though, that on the whole, their first question is always "Which country from?" - So far 'British' seems to be an acceptable answer.

I learned all about hunting from a russian in W4 - lots of friends that wanted to be independent from AD and got slaughtered for that :'(

Britain is okay here in Russia, because there're a lot of british things that popular here, in Russia. Like Arthur Conan Doyle, he's really big here.Amanda44 wrote: I have only ever met friendly Russians, I think they get a very bad press, lol, it was the same when I played Salem, the first person I met there was a russian who gave me loads of tips and advice on how best to play.
