What the- why?

 

[Tagaziel]

Because Canadians can write. And unlike other white men, they can dance.

 

[Lucid]

Wow.

[Krynn72]

Thats awesome.

 

[Absinthe]

250 words is nothing. What a deal.

 

[Naph]

It's a survey in all honesty.

 

[99.vikram]

I think it's to keep out retards. Either that or it's a survey.

Something in Canadian laws forbid Blizzard to charge Canadian residents a fee for entering this tournament (though I cant possibly fathom what use the law is mean to server) so they replaced the fe with this for cannucks.

But its a moot point, I hear the postage for it is pretty expensive anyway.



I wonder if Canadians can just pay the $20 anyway if they want?.

Seems such a stupid law.

 

[CptStern]

the only thing I can think of that would prevent them would be if it's a contest ..still sounds stupid

 

[Cornerstone]

250 words from a Canadian IS worth 20 bucks American.
