Hi guys. Well, we are now firmly into steemwars which I hope you’re enjoying. I’ve seen some cracker posts over the past couple of days so we need to keep the good stuff coming from Team Australia. There’s a new theme for each 24 hour period, so check out 
Ok. Moving on to today’s candidates. They are a really diverse bunch, either coming from, or living in, all parts of the world. I didn’t choose them specifically to make an international theme by the way, it’s just how it worked out when I started summarising their profiles.
My list of applicants is still growing so I apologise if I haven’t introduced you yet. These posts do take some time for me to write so please be patient. I promise I’ll get to you.
Existing members, please go here and follow everyone that’s been added to Team Australia since you last checked.
Don't forget to check out @centerlink, who is busy putting Aussie-battler tax dollars to work in the form of dole payments for your posts.
And finally you guys, check out the awesome Minnow Support Project. Details on how to join are here and here. You're really missing out if you're not part of it.
Candidate 1
Name and bio
Although he doesn’t reveal much information about himself apart from being English,
Fun fact
“I was brought into being in Sydney by inaccurate conception (similar to immaculate conception, but less spiritual). I was then born and corrupted in England for a few decades, before fleeing to live happily ever after in Australia.”
I've never heard the term 'inaccurate conception' before so I googled it. The first result that comes up is from the ever-helpful urban dictionary:
The act of God impregnating Joseph instead of Mary.
Lol! I'm guessing that's not what you meant.
Candidate 2
Name and bio
In her first month Down Under,
Fun fact
I consider myself chill and fashionable. I have to prepare an 'Aussie Aussie Aussie!' costume for my company's gala dinner and am thinking of a Vegemite costume."
Hmm... Despite the awesomeness of Vegemite, I’m not sure the words ‘fashionable’ and ‘Vegemite ’ should be used in the same sentence. However, you’d get top marks for creativity if you could pull that off.
Candidate 3
Name and bio
Fun fact
“When I was a younger, they had to disassemble a whole slide at my school playground because my head got stuck in it.”
I'm not sure how an anteater gets its head stuck in a slide since they are ground dwelling animals. However, I remember a kid at my primary school getting his head stuck in the railings of that bridge near the Melbourne Arts Centre on a school excursion. Luckily the teachers were able to pull his head back through and no permanent damage was done. I don't believe any ants were harmed in the process either.
Candidate 4
Name and bio
Fun fact
"I can confirm that I cannot fit 55 Ed Sheerans in my mouth (um...that came out wrong)."
Ha! That conjures up an image!
Candidate 5
Name and bio
Fun fact
“On parent’s day at my daughter’s school, when she was asked to introduce her daddy to all other parents she said: My daddy is funny and bald. Ah, he also works in the computer".
Kid’s hey? Always telling it like it is when it comes to appearance and personal traits. Also, IN the computer? That's pretty funny.
Candidate 6
Name and bio
Fun fact
“When I am typing a password and I have the last letter/number wrong, I will backspace everything and start typing again instead of only backspace the last letter/number.”
You’re not alone, I do this as well. It annoys me when I think about how many countless seconds I've wasted doing it this way.
The rules for joining Team Australia
If you’re not yet a member and want to be, this is what you need to do:
- Follow all the existing members @teamaustralia.
- Vote here for our resident steemit witness @ausbitbank.
- Comment below that you want to join.
- Link your introduction post so I can find out a bit about you. If you’re new to steemit you'll have to write one so use the introduceyourself tag to help boost your following.
- If it’s not mentioned in your introductory post, tell me which city and country you’re in, cos let's face it, a lot of us live in Australia's fourth largest city - London.
- If you’re not Aussie tell me why you should be a teamaustralia ambassador.
- Tell me a fun fact about yourself. This can be anything. For example, maybe you run a successful business, or you have eight kids and three dogs, or you rode your bike across Amercia, or you won the blue ribbon for javelin throwing at sports day back in high school, or Toadie came into the pub you work at one day and you served him a beer, or, maybe you can fit 55 maltesers in your mouth like Ed Sheeran can. It doesn’t matter what it is, I want a fun fact about you!
Once I receive this information I will try my best to write a good introductory paragraph about you for the official Team Australia membership updates. So the better your information is, the better I can make you sound. Where relevant, please use the teamaustralia and australia tags to promote your work. I will try and post weekly updates unless there is a lot of interest, in which case I will try and post sooner.
