Thanks for dropping in!

While your here, enjoy our leisurely lifestyle, pristine beaches, high quality fresh food, and that yellow circle in the sky otherwise known as "the sun"!

Laters! <waves>

P.s. Please do take your trash with you when you eventually vacate the premises.

Oh. I thought that circle in the sky was called "Ozone Hole".

The Ozone is yellow?

But ours has an open bar.

Only in Los Angeles. And that's more of a brownish yellow...

Oh wait... sorry, that's the air!

Oceanic is in the Australian region? I thought it encompassed the entire Pacific region.

The wikipedia article on Oceania is enlightening. It's not the entire Pacific. I've always wondered who definied the term (the UN scheme for geographic subregions apparently).

Go-go geography!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania

For those with link-aversion;

"Oceania (sometimes Oceanica) is a geographical, often geopolitical, region consisting of numerous lands—mostly islands in the Pacific Ocean and vicinity. The term "Oceania" was coined in 1831 by French explorer Dumont d'Urville. The term is used today in many languages to denote a continent comprising Australia and proximate Pacific islands, and is one of eight terrestrial ecozones.
The boundaries of Oceania are defined in a number of ways. Most definitions recognize parts of Australasia such as Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea, and part of Maritime Southeast Asia as being parts of Oceania. Ethnologically, the islands that are included in Oceania are divided into the subregions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.

Hawaii is the northern corner of the Polynesian Triangle and is generally included in Oceania, though politically it is part of the United States. The Hawaiian language is a Polynesian member of the Oceanic language family, and Hawaiian culture is one of the major cultures of Polynesia.

The U.S. territories in the North Pacific are generally considered part of Oceania.

Woot! I knew living in Hawaii included being part of Oceania.

Heya all ya Aussie and Kiwi's out there.

Australia living in NZ here. looking for 2 vacancies in a RP group. 2 players relatively new to CoH (3 wks). We can and will play any character type needed. One problem we may have is that the only server we have characters on is Champion. 18 level is the top character.

Can anyone point us in the right direction please?

Maybe playing with an Oceanic group would be easier for us both lol

If you want to team with people in the Aust/New Zealand Oceanic time zones abandon Champion and make your toons on Justice.

If RP is your thing make some toons on Virtue, the supergroup recruitment part of the forums has a heap of RP sg's looking for members.

I know of two Australian RP groups that run each week on Justice: the Extraordinary 8 on Wednesdays for heroes, and Doctor Universe Notorious College of Evil (DUNCE) on Sundays for villains. More information on both can be found on the X8's forums: http://z8.invisionfree.com/Extraordinary8/

Incidentally, I'd strongly recommend that you join the Australia global channel if you haven't already, as the MotD usually has information about events in the Australian/NZ timezones.


 

Posted

It's worth mentioning that both DUNCE and the X8 have space for two more people to join. There are also non-RP events 3 nights a week on Justice that are open to all-comers.
