    Don't want to turn this into a D&D topic, just interested in what the make up of CF.net is... I am not interested in race, but just the origins and mix...

    I have been surprised MANY times to know some people speak well as foreigners, even better than some who were born and raised here, and that some from other countries make CF.net their home.

    Forgive dearly if I missed your ancestry or misspell one... :(

    Heinz 57 Western European white boy- English/French/Welsh/German...lots of other things.

    Always cracks me up when the W Supremacists talk about the pure white race. Cause I, like many people, am a little of everything that could be thrown out of Europe.

    I take offense at Germany being put into the "eastern European" category. Lumping the Germans in with the Russians? Bah!

    So three blondes walk into a bar...

    But, seriously, how do you get that make up?

    My father's side is WHITER than my mom's with some freckles, but from my mom's side is where there's most of the "indian" type.

    Sorry for that, texxx...

    So are you getting a multiple choice now?

    We're all very different people. We're not Watusi, we're not Spartans, we're Americans. With a capital "A", huh? And you know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts.


    heh...;)

    from what I hear, Im part English, Irish, Scot, Danish and like 1/64th(or 128th or something like that) Cherokee.

    there may even be one other in there tha tI cant remember right now.

    but basically.....a mutt.
