You know you play too much EB when...

[SwissBarbar]

- i know i play too much EB when i spend the afternoon with a discussion about the gay or not gay-ness of Caesar or any other ancient person

note: apart from that i believe that anybodys sexual orientation has no influence on his ability to win battles, conquer gaul, beeing a reformator or having a great character

[General Appo]

Hey, I didn´t even knew that was what we were discussing. And yeah, I don´t believe so either, I was just jesting about Alex S´s buddies who called the name Julius Ceasar gay.

[Ibrahim]

@ Appo: you're such an easy target for me jokes today

first at the EB2 forum, now EB1's?

this is cause for concern.

Touché!

[Majd il-Romani]

when you speak ancient greek, latin, celtic, and persian fluently and expertly just because you play the damn game so much (somewhat guilty)

[chenkai11]

While playing, your medium infantry holding the line against heavy infantry, shrinking from 5 men deep to only 2 men deep, then your cavalry is still trying to get in position to charge in. You shouted, "hold!!", "Stay in the line!!".

Yeah, I tend to do that too. While my cavalry is coming to rescue my poor bloody infantry, I keep mumbling "steady", "steady", steady, steady!"

[Wausser]

yeah and scream at them when they don't do the things I tell them

[SwissBarbar]

guilty

"idiots, is that what you were trained for?"

[General Appo]

Argh, guilty. In my latest Hayasdan campaign during an extremely vital battle my Armenian Medium Spearmen started routing despite outnumbering and outclassing the enemy, with cavalry on the way to crush the enemy flanks. "******* cowards!!!, what the **** are you doing!!!!"

[Socy]

When you try to "/autowin_attacker" on exams and homeworks.

When you try to use "Forced Diplomacy" on parents/siblings/people in general.

Damn, if these cheats only existed in real life...

[Iraklis]

When you "repeatedly" turn a History Of Art class into a student / teacher debate on military and political goals of the ppl you are studying at the time (very, very guilty)

you fellows need to do what I do: let 'em drown in their stupidity.

[AlexanderSextus]

Teach me your methods, oh wise guru!

[Aemilius Paulus]

There is not methods in that. The art teachers can drown in their own stupidity without any outside help. Just like my middle-school art teacher, who seriously thought that Guernica was A-bombed, which is why Picasso chose this event as the setting for his famous painting. She was very well-versed in art and art history, but just not in the real-world history.

[General Appo]

Just like my middle-school art teacher, who seriously thought that Guernica was A-bombed...

That´s just.....fail

[General Appo]

...When after you wake up 30 minutes later than what you set the alarm to you beat up everything in your room and remains pissed the entire day for missing valuable EB time. (kinda guilty)

[Ibrahim]

Teach me your methods, oh wise guru!

Aemilius summed it up perfectly. of course, you can always feed them false information-further drowning them, but I'm a laissez fair thingy guy.

I had a dream about EB last night...

I dreamed I had to do a presentation about the Teutoberg Forest battle, and for it, I had to recreate the battle, using EB. Furthermore, there was a group of Sweboz attending the conference, or rather, were TRYING to attend the conference. Nobody could understand them, and they were threatening to kill everyone unless they were let in. So, I had to speak to them in Proto-germanic, and explain the situation, whereupon they calmed down, and actually helped me with the presentation.

I think you might need to lower your dosis of EB

Tewtally excellent, proto-Germanic dudes!

*air guitar*

[Cbvani]

You don't browse the EB forums enough when you bring up a Lorica Segmentata thread. Of course, browsing means not playing. (Guilty, for the EBII forums. My bad, foot!)

When part of your morning routine before going to work/school/playing EB is checking these forums to see what people are saying.

[General Appo]

I beg to differ. The Sweboz guys were good, but the fact that RL still appears in his dreams means he´s not quite there yet. There of course being that happy place of bliss and ignorance when EB is your entire life.
Come, join me.

[SwissBarbar]

hehe, ok, dreaming in proto-germanic is definitely a warning ^^

[NeoSpartan]

I cannot believe you MOFOS!!!!!!!

none of you have stated the #1 trait of someone who plays to much EB!

Make your own EB costume for Halloween!!!! Mine is in progress:


I'll be this fella:


but I'll use this one's tunic:
http://www.aceros-de-hispania.com/im...-falcatas.jpeg

I still have to finish the helmet (which came out a 'lil too big), shield, sword, and armor.

But if it is too cold out (looks like it might hit 32F, 1C) I'll have to wear some trousers and long sleeve shirt. underneath it.

[General Appo]

Brilliant! I only have like 24 hours to do it, but I shall make myself look like one of these guys.


Only without the loincloth....oughta scare the kids.

[SwissBarbar]

loooooooooooooooooool, yeah, let's all go as naked spearmen

[NeoSpartan]

U still gotta make the shield and the spears. Those take some time.

The Gaesatae version is made difficult due to the helmet, which can't buy for cheap and need to make. The sword can by any plastic large sword but just cut the handle a little.

[General Appo]

Meh, I´ll just take a long, thin, round stick thingy (my dads bound to have one) and attach the blade of a kitchen knife to it. Then I´ll just take some random board, saw it round and paint some wierd symbols on it.
Then I´ll roll around naked in some real dark mud and maybe color myself a bit if needed, and I´m ready.

[desert]

Halloween is already well underway where I'm at. My math teacher dressed as an irrational number.
