you can't outrun a polar bear without a dog sled, and neither bow nor a spear is much good against them. even if you managed to kill it, there's gonna be some 500kg of dead bear on top of you in the middle of nowhere. happened to me once too, I was trapped under it for a week until I managed to gnaw my way through it. unfortunately the wolves had eaten my dogs in the meantime, and it took another week for me to walk back home. true story.

You mean you haven't learn to domesticate polar bears yet?

Talk about undeveloped!

BTW, you don't run from polar bears. You gotta stand up as tall as you can and roar back and show him you are the king of the winter land. He'll back off once you show him 🙂

Does the flag represent your nationality or where you presently are?

Another things that would be nice to know about a player are the gender and age.

That's up to the player. I use the Norwegian flag because I live here, even though I am not a Norwegian citizen. I know someone else who uses the Norwegian flag because he is Norwegian, even though he doesn't live here. Some people use the flag of a country they like, even though they neither are a citizen of that country nor live there. For example, I doubt all the 162 people who fly the flag of Antarctica live there, and there is no Antarctic citizenship. 😉

How do you think I survived in East Africa?

By running away from lions, rhinos etc....?


Think again!

I was only 8 when we moved but even at a young age I could make it work 😛

I have actually lions and tigers 300m from here. at night, if I keep a window open, I can hear them roar. 🙂

Hahah are you serious? You live near a zoo?

I hope the window is extra extra small for your sake and you don't go out much.

it's true alright. 🙂 the zoo is a little island filled with animals. the water keeps me safe, but of course during wintertime the sea is frozen, so if they ever escaped...

it's 20 degrees below zero at night, 30cm of white snow everywhere, and I hear lions roar. life is pretty strange sometimes.

Excuse me. Ireland is not part of the UK. We've been independent for 85 years now. 🙄

Takes getting use to that for sure. I remeber moving here and the traffic kept me up all night most of the time till several months.l

Well it's spring now and the snow is melting. We got about 70 cm of snow. Lots of cars are stuck and can't get out of the parking lots.

O well, that is life.
