That's like TCV, who eats some babies and defiles some virgins for breakfast :laugh4:

Actually, I have to admit, that when I was in England, I very much enjoyed english breakfast. We don't know breakfast to be so .. well... extensive :dizzy2:

Having always lived in England, I've never seen people's problems eating that sort of food for breakfast, i think it's perfectly normal. But then when I went to America I have to admit that I never saw the appeal in having pancakes with blueberrys and cream and bacon (american style bacon which actually has not meat on it) and waffles with syrup...why would you eat that?

Meh, the English national food is now curry. A vindaloo all the way. Thanks Wellington for invading India and introducing us to the hot stuff. :clown:

Oh, delicious! I love a good spicy lamb vindaloo or chicken tika massala! When I lived in San Antonio we had two Indian restaurants within walking distance of our apartment. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely. Unfortunately, the town I live in is full of "white bread" folks. The majority of people in Utah are Mormon and if their ancestors didn't make it while walking in the wagon train to this fetid hell hole 150 years ago then they have no use for it. They live such sheltered, overly-religious lives.

Now, as for all you Euro-types spamming the thread with "my country is better" and "this food sucks", behold the USA and be awestruck by our disgustingly gargantuan proportions and our refined sugars that rot your teeth and our preservatives which prevent the rest of your body from decaying in the grave!

And just remember who got you out of two world wars, lest you all be heiling der Fuhrer and walking like geese :smash:

I may be interested in joining, but I have one important question: how time-consuming is this? Also, I need to install 1.1. Should all fixes should be applied, or just the essential ones?

Iskander 3.1
02-26-2009, 01:15
:dizzy2:Whoops, that was two questions.

mini
02-26-2009, 01:23
Meh, it's not necessarely for hardcore gamers this :)
I cant even play in the wkends myself. I just check this forum when I'm on the pc and keep an eye on things a bit more when important things are happening or when i feel like putting in a real contribution :)
In short: you make it as time consuming as you want to.

If you show your face once a day, that's more than some peepz :)

Just install 1.1 DO NOT apply patch 1.2 :)

just to let players who are yet to chose an avatar know, there is a guy that Cicero recently adopted (so the guy's an FM); I forgot to take a mugshot but I remembered his traits, he is Sharp/Uncharismatic (unsure of this part)/Languorous, Patrician, Wealthy, and one of the tub-thumper traits (so he has 3 influence points) and 26 years old.

No there hasnt. Pointing out that players need to follow the rules is not usually classified as wtf do you know. I believe we've all come to a peaceful agreement anyhow, no need for this post Mooks.

Anyway, I'm glad at least one of my PM's worked. Many people do not have 1.1 anymore, and it puts them off. I suppose it does require quite a lot out of some people to have two Rome and EB installations. So thanks for replying and signing up Iskander. Good to have you aboard.

No worries, I can understand your impatience. However Navarro's having a pretty hard time IRL at the mo, so I'm sure you can appreciate that

Iskander 3.1
03-03-2009, 23:18
Ok, I found the MotH's name in the Consul's report (Sextus Cornelius Scapula). Can I download a save to find all his traits and then make a SOT post? Or would it be more polite to wait for Navarro?

You ought to wait for navarro. Welcome to BtSH!

Iskander 3.1
03-03-2009, 23:43
In that case, I'll download the latest save tonight just to see what traits my avatar has. I'll SOT accordingly afterwards.

navarro951
03-04-2009, 00:34
yes the character is open so go ahead check things out and get the SOT up. Also if a screenshot could be sent to me ill throw it into the library. I wont have time to take the save.

You have obviously never played WOW before.

Iskander 3.1
03-05-2009, 21:03
I've played WOW once, but it failed to suck me in. I like the idea behind BtsH--PBM melded with my favorite computer game. Since most interaction consists of brief posts, this is less time-consuming for me than traditional PBM (my last try at PBM was several years ago. I played the part of Ensign Robert Blackwell, the Ops officer on the USS Solstice and while it was fun I had a hard time keeping up with my post quota.)

Tolg
03-06-2009, 14:19
I'm ready to join, but still trying to figure out what to do first.

I think I need to choose an avatar first (for example the one mentioned here:


just to let players who are yet to chose an avatar know, there is a guy that Cicero recently adopted (so the guy's an FM); I forgot to take a mugshot but I remembered his traits, he is Sharp/Uncharismatic (unsure of this part)/Languorous, Patrician, Wealthy, and one of the tub-thumper traits (so he has 3 influence points) and 26 years old.

) and post where I want to start, but where can I found out which settlements are possible? And what do I do after I have chosen my avatar? :dizzy2:

/Bean\
03-06-2009, 14:29
Glad you made it, Tolg. Welcome to BtSH.

New avatars are on the first page of the sign-up thread. I don't know if Cicero's MotH is avaliable, I'll let Everyone answer that. If you don't like the ones avaliable, simply say so and Navarro (GM) can make some more.

Once you've got a character, make sure you're comfortable with the rules and FAQ, ask if you don't understand something. Everyone here is welcoming and happy to help anytime.

Once you have a character, make an SOT post (hyperlink in my sig), and your ready to go. Announce yourself in the Curia, and take it from there.

And remember, have fun.

everyone
03-06-2009, 14:39
Cicero's MotH guy (sextus cornelius scapula) has already been taken by Iskander II, there is another avatar which is a family member though:
Lucius Cornelius Scipio:

/Bean\
03-06-2009, 15:33
Take a look at the Curia frist pages, and you'll see examples of characters announcing themselves


A young man enters the senatorial floor. He says a few quiet words to those he pass by, but is otherwise largely unnoticed. He finds an empty seat, takes and and sits quietly for a long while, just listening. Then finally he stands up.

"First of all I would like to introduce myself. I am Pvblivs Atilivs Regvlvs, of the Atilia family. With that said, I would like to ask the dictator if there is nothing I can do. I want to see action and serve my time as a Tribunus as quickly as possible, and though I realize money is tight and what army we have is full, I am being wasted here in the senate. I'm a soldier at heart and I want to see battle as one too."

Remember your character is known around Rome, but make some excuse for having not been around. Scipio has been Aedile of Taras for a long time, so use this as an excuse. Say you have left your office, and now you have returned to seek a new occupation for the Republic.

sorry, since TCV and navarro are the only ones (presumably) with the spawning general script, I don't have it added onto the copy of EB I use for BtSH; and since I'm temporary CoF, I can't spawn any new RGBs until TCV's computer recovers or navarro sends me the files required.

I think we (or the CoF) should all post the latest RGBs in a new post rather than at the start of the topic, because I doubt people read the first page but rather they read the last page.
currently I only got two, there are 2 more available but they've been sitting around for a while and starting to rot.

Iskander 3.1
03-12-2009, 02:32
Read my post in the Stories thread :)

Actually I chose to play as a Man of the Hour character. The computer randomly put him into the Claudius family.

I suppose we could say something along the lines of Scapula being shunned by his family for whatever reason...Cicero has no son except for Scapula so as the sole heir it's looking like Scapula would want to stay in his new family. I dunno.

mini
03-12-2009, 11:19
They are not relatives to Blasio, though being cornelius'ses.

For example:
Publius Cornelius Sulla
Lucius Cornelius Sulla
These are most likely brothers


Publius Cornelius Sulla
Lucius Cornelius Cinna
These 2 are not related

But because iskanders & decimus characters are both Cornelius Skapula's they're most likely brothers.


Families somethings gave their sons to other families to adopt for money etc.

For example
Publius Cornelius Sulla has 2 sons:
-Lucius Cornelius Sulla and Decimus Cornelius Culla.

But the family is not so rich. And MUCH money was a necessity if you wanted to reach a decent office.

So, what does Publius Cornelius Sulla the father does?
To secure his oldest son has all the possibilities to reach the consul seat one day, he gives up his younger son for adoption.

The other party has their own reasons for paying to adopt someone, for example Manius Claudius Cicero is a rich family and probably has no sons of his own. Therefor he pays a lot of money to adpot someone else's son. This boy then becomes a cicero, continuing the name and line. (only, in the EB system, being adopted doesn't change your name to your adopted father as it should be, which is why it can seem weird)

Depending on the age difference, I'd RP him either as a younger brother, or the elder son of a fictive brother of yours :)

So, about that character. I'm going to portray him as a conceited, passive-aggressive ****head who speaks very slowly and quietly, and bores everyone to death.

Maybe a little like the pixies...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfFp9eFzhok

*slaps head*
I forgot something:
Appius Claudius Nero is already il_duce's character. although il_duce has not logged in for more than 7 weeks already. his avatar was left sitting around in a fort so long that I forgot that it's controlled by him.
so I'm not sure whether is he classified as inactive, and to be removed from the game (needs clarification with navarro); and if not I'll spawn a few more RGBs for desert to chose from.

Hey all, I have read through the FAQ and the rules and seem to get what the game is about as I have played online RP's before. So are there any young (under 19/20) or family member characters avalible. If not do you spawn some new ones or...?

My point exactly...surely if your dull, it means your boring and uninteresting.

desert
03-27-2009, 23:46
Dull probably means "stupid" in this context. Isn't that what it means in the UK too?

For example, remember the Hannibal vs Phormio quote in EB?

Also, imagine someone who makes good speeches and has a powerful voice, and all that, but is called a "fool" and can't make logical connections and doesn't...well, he's either mentally retarded or just a dumbass.

As desert points out, "dull" here means unintelligent. It is, after all, countered by "sharp", and not "interesting", and we have a separate charisma attribute. ~;p

Now, I'm going to bed, because I've got a frigging test tomorrow morning. I have to get up earlier than I ever normally do, and it goes on for 8 bloody hours as well, while the only "consolation" is some fair sized pauses now and again. Hurray! That's one happy Saturday!

I've read it, and it was kind of good, but seemed a little overly specific and packed with detail. I'd only recommend reading it if you're seriously devoted to worshipping Cicero and have a lifetime to spare.

Worshipping Publius Atilius, on the other hand, only requires you to give him your soul. :deal:

hmmm I've read through the rules, are there any open avatars for new players?
I'll go start downloading EB now (I just saw their homepage and the mod sounds AWESOMEZZ, I can finally play as Parthia and not be forced west). haven't installed any mods yet though.
and does EB overwrite any of the original game files?

everyone
04-19-2009, 15:54
huzzah! a new player!

and as far as I know, EB doesn't overwrite any vanilla files, it installs into a separate 'EB' folder in your /program files/activision/rome - total war/

as for the avatars, you could go one or two pages back to see those avatars created a few turns ago. I think they're still at where I left them. nobody has touched them yet.
if you don't want any of those guys there, perhaps you could wait for navarro to spawn some new guys sometime tomorrow when he takes the save.

You don't really need EB to play BtSH on the forums. You'll barely need the save for at least one congressional session if not two. If you make enough of an impression than maybe you can become the next Tribune of the Plebs, which is the first rung of the political ladder. That's why CDF got the Top this year; the other Tribunes haven't made much of an impression since they started so they didn't receive many votes-no one knows them etc.
