Which is unfortunate; I seem to remember that much of the WoD Australian 
stuff was written by Richard Watts, who lives in Melbourne (iirc).

 >>>We run the Olympics and no-one knows what Sydney looks like...<<<

I don't know if people from elsewhere can get an idea of Sydney's appearance 
from The Matrix (they don't have many shots of the harbour or major 
landmarks) but many of my friends were easily able to recognise various 
buildings from the CBD. One woman spotted the building where she works.

Anyway, it's just occurred to me that the relative value of world currencies 
is probably directly related to feuding plutomancers around the world. If 
Plutomancy is based on the relative value of a currency, then a Plutomancer 
could indirectly hurt a foreign rival by causing the value of his local 
currency to drop, thus making it harder for the rival to earn charges.


Cheers,
