if you where in Rome

[clayton ballentine]

if you lived in Acient Rome what would you do?

[Don Corleone]

At one point, almost half of the population were slaves. Assuming my luck didn't hold & I fell in with that lot, I'm guessing whatever I was told to or take a good whipping.

[Duke Malcolm]

Use my knowledge of chemistry and physics to astound the plebs, become a revered person, et cetera, get money from it, a villa, slaves, kill the Imperator and take his job... The usual...

[Craterus]

Yes, I would change history and impart all modern day knowledge to the Romans.

Then I would go down in history as the cleverest man ever...

Well I will anyway, but back then it would be whole lot less effort.

[Laridus Konivaich]

I would do everything, yes, everything, just to be a well rounded person. :winkg:

[Craterus]

Hmmm, 6 people have voted that they would join the army, yet only 2 have specified that they would kill. Those that voted "army" but not "kill", what do you plan to do in the army if not kill people?

[Laridus Konivaich]

prbbly bld rds, th rmns' rmy dd a lt of tht.

[Craterus]

*Probably build roads, the Romans' army did a lot of that*?

[Laridus Konivaich]

*Probably build roads, the Romans' army did a lot of that*?
yes, why are you repeating what I already said! Plagarism...

[Craterus]

No no no, I was using the same book as you... :yes:

[Laridus Konivaich]

I ddnt tke tht frm a bks pgs. yer a cpr, or jst tryng t trnslt? drppng ll vwls s fn! :happyg:

[Craterus]

And incredibly annoying.

I was trying to translate.

[Laridus Konivaich]

Wow! Think of how terrible ti must be for the people who aren't native English speakers, they woudl really have a hard time with that... oh well, if other people can write in their first language, I can write without vowels...

um, all of the vowel keys on my keyboard are broken! Yes, that must be it...

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

In this order:
Make war weapons
help kill Ceasar
go to jail
kill
die at the games

At your service, Evil Maniac From Mars, the violent ancient Roman.

[IrishMike]

I would run off to greece, and teach them how to build guns and cannons. Then I would come to rome and conquer it. Then crown myself the second great to come from greece.

[GoreBag]

I voted for "loot". I figure that the only way I'd be in Rome (the ancient kind, anyway) would be if I was looting it.

[dessa14]

well i would be a massive hedonist like most roman aristocrats, its called 24 hour partying.
thanks,
dizzy

[Byzantine Prince]

I'm with Dessa here. A nice orgy every day would be heavenly, even better then the Christian heaven IMO. What would be even better is to also kill the undesirables for fun. That's the life.

[dessa14]

kill the undesirables..., oh i don't wanna kill them, i wanna kill the desirables.
especially those horrible democratic tribunes.
i think orgies would get very boring soon, but drinking and eating never gets boring oh and masses of opiates and drugs availiable life would be sweet.
thanks,
dizzy

[Byzantine Prince]

Dessa orgies are not just sex. Heavy drinking and drug use in mass is also an orgy. So an orgy of each for each day. I think that covers what want.

Oh and sex orgies don't get boring to me. ~;)

[Krusader]

Took the words right out of my mouth!!

If no orgies, then join the army and build roads.

[Al Khalifah]

Joined the army and killed some Gauls.

[dessa14]

umm, the last thing i would do in rome was join the army, they'd send you off to some S*&thole in the middle of nowhere and you'd have to rough it or die.
thanks,
dizzy

[Al Khalifah]

That'd be Gaul then.

[The Stranger]

i've chosen all. i'm the ultra multitask hannibal

[clayton ballentine]

i am happy to that you guys are interested in my post ~:)

[Mongoose]

yep, this must be the first thread you have started that did not end in a discussion about your spaming ~:) :balloon2:

[Craterus]

And please don't turn it into that sort of discussion mongoose.

I think this is a pretty good poll. I think it's quite interesting how people would join the army over anything else.

[BDC]

Take all my chemistry books and sell the Romans gunpowder.

[King Arthur]

I chose to be a historian because unlike thosse who join the army, who wont be remembered(unless they become Gens)

I as a historian would go down in HIstory being quoted by people for 1000s of years

[Mongoose]

I would run away and live in a nice little burrow...that or join the army and stop the punic elephants! :laugh4:

[The Stranger]

but i'll fight you with my army from BARTIX

[Mongoose]

Yes, but BARTIX is very dependent on ELEPHAIX which i would scare away :laugh4:

"Take all my chemistry books and sell the Romans gunpowder."

Why not sell it to the macedonians? ~;)

[The Stranger]

cuz the makedonians are a bartic colonie, btw i got special elephaix they can't be scared and got 24 tusks

[Laridus Konivaich]

Well my special plrldin alrdisu knwicha will get your elephaix! It doesn't need to scare them, because it will just suck them up its toes!!! :happyg:

[clayton ballentine]

i don't understand you

[Laridus Konivaich]

i don't understand you
Then you must be sane. :gring:

[Mongoose]

You both speak a different dialect of the same langauge...

[Laridus Konivaich]

You both speak a different dialect of the same langauge...

witch language?

[Mongoose]

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Wow, this has degenerated a bit...shape it up or it gets closed.

[Templar Knight]

:no:

[Fragony]

Ancient rome huh, massive orgies of course! What else????

[The Stranger]

weed, man, weed.

[doc_bean]

I don't think they had weed there back then, it's a well kept secret if they did.

The Egyptians might have had it from what i've heard.

[Shadow]

I will join the army, become general and kill my way to the throne :charge:

[The Stranger]

and i'll follow in your footsteps

[tibilicus]

Mine is, Run away. However after i would run away i would join a barbarian army,Write history about rome for them,make them some wepons so i get rich,make them some new advanced housing for some more money!,write and give them some documents on famous romans so they can asasinate them,then invade rome kill some people, aswell as killing Ceaser later,And finaly get locked up for murder and being a traitor to my country. See should of been a multiple choice poll ~D ohhhhhhhhh i should make a story on this..............

[Kagemusha]

Man have to start somewhere,You know.So first,i would join the army.Sometime soon id have to kill some poor buggers,Because some killing would be propriate in army lifestyle.And you know, if there is killing hopefully soon there should be somekind of victory.And where is victory there definetly is some serios boosing.And after litle boozing my next place to be would be jail.(Somekind of drunken accident,or something like that,You know the drill).So there would be lots of victories and lots of boozing.So lot that in the end of all that my comrades would only give me as weapons, should be sticks or rocks to throw at them while been drunk.
So i would start producing my own weapons.Somekind club or something like that ,(you know im pretty handy).So after a while of clubbing some bastards heads with my club.I woul get really famous(something like the second coming of Hercules or like that).So in no time i would mingle in the highsociety of Rome.So like any deacent civilized intellectual roman,I shoul start thinking of participating in an assasination plan against some mighty Ceasar,(you know they were nuts.allmost all of them).
Obviosly i know pretty much about tactics,so i would hit and run,before those Praetorians could get their dirty litle hands on me.
So after few Caesars would pass away i could safely start thinking about writing about some Great Historical Roman,so i would write about me.That would also classyfy me as an Great Historian,(who ignorant lowlife wouldnt like to read about my great deeds in roman history)?And after that i could think:Hey kagemusha you are quite a guy,and drop dead.
Did i miss somethin?Oh yes the thing about building something,(serioysly im not that handy) :sneaky: .

[Lazul]

I would go Da Vinci style on all of them!

*impress the rom emperor with gunpowder, and then just keep on portioning out modern-day tech.
*rome would massacre all other "factions".
*work my charm and charisma on the nobles
*then.... 24 hours drinking and orgies! yeeehaaaw ~:cheers:
*oh.. and smoke some weed from time to time and claim what I paint high is art! ~D


:bow:

PLANTUM SELLORUM UMEUS

for all your magic plants. right next to the Fora Romanum in ROMA.

[Abokasee]

the help kill ceaser thing and join the army is a good combonation after all that really did happen just buy "THE RUTHLESS ROMANS" HORRIBLE HISTORY BOOK

[Brutus]

I don't think they had weed there back then, it's a well kept secret if they did.

The Egyptians might have had it from what i've heard.
Sure the ancient Romans had weed, didn't you see Mel Brooks' History of the World Part One?

Being in Ancient Rome, I would do what every good barbarian would do when he wasn't looting: Being a good tourist and inscribe graffiti all over the place!

Brutus hic erat

[The Stranger]

yeah man... whos'mel brook anyway. WEED HERE WEED HERE.

btw this is the only thread of Clayton that survived the policy. let's keep it alive, in honour of clayton

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Well, this has gone down the toilet...
