Targeting players because of their nation of origin is truely pathetic.
In another PBeM game I'm in an alliance that has players from America,
Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, the UK and New Zealand. We are fighting
an enemy with players from America, Canada, Denmark, Australia, and France.

Besides, with all the hotmail accounts, unless they send you an email
directly,
you don't know where they are from anyway.
