Everything in that sentence is wrong. Seriously.

I award you no points, and may the Twelve have mercy on your soul.

Basically anything not Japan or America gets shafted into one big comglomerate with no ability to participate in contests or be able to access payment options in preffered currency.

Oh sorry, misunderstood in a really bad way. :o

You made a really good point.

Yeah but for SE, it's EU + tons of countries.

The little "&" symbol means "and." "Middle East" and "Africa" are as much a part of "Europe" as "Central & South America" and "Pacific Islands" are a part of "North America."

That's where "European" was wrong. As for "countries" and "excluded," French Guiana (among others) is neither.

No, I mean altogether. I'd intentionally ask the ESRB to rate the game M+ just to get rid of the minors in legal terms.

1. ESRB is an industry organization and doesn't have the weight of law.
2. ESRB is NA only. This is an EU thread.
3. You're thinking AO, not M.
4. An AO rating kills sales. Period.
5. Countries where a rating does have the force of law can and often do ban games outright. This is also not good for sales.
6. Not everyone who acts like a 13 y.o. is actually 13. Welcome to the Internet.

Next question: if im in the us army, but stationed in germany. Technically im a resident of germany but on a military post. How does that work?

Technically you're still a US resident; otherwise you'd lose your driver's license, voting rights, etc.

Your APO address lets you enter NA contests with no problem, though.

Overseas soldiers (and to a lot of extent, diplomats/embassy workers/etc) retain their 'home nation' residency.

If you are not soldier/embassy/diplomat/etc, then your residence most likely will be that of where you live (or have spend 181 days of the year).

As for regions, generally its held:
NA - Canada, USA (often times Mexico left out ; ; )
JP - Japan
UK - United Kingdom (English Speaking EU target release)
EU - The 27 members of the EU

EU is not to be confused with EC, EEC, Europe, EurAsia, Eurozone, Schengen, NATO, UN, or League of Nations.

Since most people who are not involved with these concepts are not aware of what they are, the contest rules spells out the countries where this is permitted.

If you feel unhappy about the rules, please feel free to write to your local political representitive and request that all peoples of the world join together into one unified and global community. If only to save on legal fees.

(For those curious, Switzerland is not in the EU, but is in Schengen, and is in Europe, but not part of the EEC, yet is part of the UN, but not a member of NATO, nor allowed to participate in the contest. But they have good chocolate).

I can enter this competition, its outrageous! Why am I being denied the right to be barred from entering this competition SE, its soo unfair! I blame SE they make all the laws in my country, how dare they!
None of you would have won anyway, now move along people.

^ this. thank you for posting what i was thinking. It is not SE's fault that the laws of certain sovereign nations preclude SE from letting you enter the contest.

as a side note, today was the first time i even looked at this thread because the thread title set off my automatic SPAM virus download chain email scam alert in my head.

It's been one week since the compeition ended. When will we know who won?
