Greetings

Just a shout out to foreign national and/or English speaking gamers living in Japan. Any souls out there?

I fit that bill. After 17+ years of living here I'll be headed back to the states to work in November though. I've been trying to keep my mind off of all the things I'll miss about Japan by racing online.

Hi punts,

Ooo. You have a big transition ahead of you next month so I hope it goes smoothly. At least working will keep you focused. I'm an expat Brit who's been in the Kansai region for 10 years. I'm a big FPS fan but TrackMania has really caught my attention because of the large racing and modding community.

I'm usually in the [日本語で]Nations, Japanese LoL Maps, arramus | mini tracks, or Heaven Mini's server. Heaven Mini's looks like it's in Europe based on the very high ping it returns but I've seen some local foreign nationals racing around the tricky maps they rotate. For the relatively small local community we have our server list pretty much covers all mode and manner of track. Do you use punts as your TrackMania name? I can add you to the buddy list and jump in a server. A few of my work buddies over typically play from 10pm~.

I played UT3 online when it  first came out but there was little local activity 3 months in and I went with TF2 as that's got a lot of support.
