Hey,

I was thinking "eh what the heck,I post it here"..

how did you come to .org? was it a TW Game that brought you here (I hope so),like looking for other MP players, or for a patch,etc....?

Or,

Have you Never even played a TW game, but came here for History stuff, or Came here to meet new people??

I came here in 2004, jsut for MTW clan sites, then in Febrauby 2006, I decided to come here, since .net was goin down here, and after gettin recently ban at .com (In Ferbaybuy,not now)..

I came here for mods because Rome was sorely lacking in the replayability section. I became a member for the prospect of discussing mods, the Monastery, and later posting about MTWII.

I came looking for help on MTW and any interesting facts on the byzantines. i remember someone posting a thread of Osprey artwork of E.Roman soldiers. Pretty cool, I might add. Too bad I cant find that thread anymore.

I originally came in October 2005, but I was busy at the time (and still busy now), kinda lost interest in the site for some time and in addition I forgot my password. Somehow, I went back to this place just last summer, and I was issued a new password and boom, I'm back in the game baby.

It's still a very interesting and helpful site.
Kudos .org, kudos.

Well I came originally to the .org to get patches for MTW, noticed the forums and ended up as a lurker. After lurking period of a year or so I decided to get involved in fun of posting and it's a decision I'm happy about. :2thumbsup:

10-30-2006, 10:06

I came here to read some of the guides, especially Froggy's excellent guide to RTW.

Afterwards I just lurked once in a while.

This summer it was very very calm here at work. I noticed there was a writing contest going on and I thought "hey why not participate?".

And so I joined.

Afterwards, thanks to some of the spammers helpfull members here, I discovered the Tavern...

I found this forum while looking for some helpful guides, at some point I stumbled on Froggy's comprehensive one. I also followed the other faction specific guides , before deciding on joining myself, which I did in december 2004 after lurking for a while.

I've been here ever since.

10-30-2006, 15:36

I stopped in and lurked back in the beginning of time. I think I first registered when I was playing MTW, but I never really posted. Then somewhere before Rome came out, I lost my password and re-registered as the lemur. Finally started posting. As with so many Orgahs, it was Froggy's guides that convinced me this was a place to stop and hang out.

There is only so many power-happy moderators that a man can stand. Havent really been back since...has it changed much?

Stig

10-30-2006, 21:15

Nah didn't change really, apart from the fact other people became mods.
People like Elmo and Duck are still around.

That's for me the reason of coming here too. Not being happy with .com. But I still am a regular patron there, mainly to annoy the mods tho.

Those guys piss me off too much to even post there, I lurked a bit but really, I've never seen so many locked topics :sweatdrop:

Anyway, I just googled total war in Google :clown:

Stig

10-30-2006, 23:22

meh that's down to the new n00b mods they have.

3 weeks ago, I almost made a daily thread entitled:
Why aren't the locked threads moved to the Graveyard?

tbh they don't bother with the MTW2 forums anymore, we get 2 pages of new threads a day. Far too much to handle for the mods.
But anyway I'm not going to discuss it, there's an excellent forum for me if I want to bash CA and .com, and it isn't here

ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88

10-31-2006, 01:26

I have to argee with you on that,Stig.To Rush and new...

Anyhow, I won't bashed .com here, I can go to other fourms I know of to do it.

.org is a good fourm I may say. I happy that I joined it when I did (and came back when I did) :-)

Read about the forthcoming Shogun:Total War on ZDnet, who raved about how it would display thousands of soldiers on-screen at the same time (a major development at the time). That article had links to .com and .org, so followed those.

i got here by first being on gamefaqs.com board and I asked people what a good mod was. Someone told me EB and directed me here and I joined a couple of weeks ago. Something went wrong with my Rome disc though. It installs it, but doesn't play it. So now i'm stuck playing BI untill the EB mod for BI comes out. Or is it already?

ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88

11-02-2006, 21:29

I originally came here because I considered buying RTW. My first topic I believe was "Is RTW better then MTW?" or something along those lines.

I then lurked for a couple of months till I found my way to the tavern :2thumbsup:

11-05-2006, 20:44

Back in the day when RTW came out, I was so mad about it I had an insatiable appetite to explore absolutely anything to do with TW. TRhat was at a time when there was link the drop down menu under the Community section. I joined up, selected King Henry V as I was expecting to find an avatar of him. Unfortunately, there wasn't one, but as my second chocie was Augustus Gabinnius, my top general in RTW atm, I'm glad I chose KHV. Stupid Romans.
Anyway, I joined, made a couple of posts in the Colosseum. However, I then disappeared from here until the end of April, when I started writing a story called "The Gold of Byzantium". However, at that time I had not a clue about spamming and forum rules in general, so I thought a good way to highlight my story would be to post the same "Coming soon.....to the Mead Hall" threads in loads of different forums. I think it is a credit to the moderators that I was not warned for it, as I would no doubt have been on other sites where the mods are more trigger happy.

11-05-2006, 21:16

Somewhere in early 2003 I tried registering here as a result of my activities in MTW's multiplayer, but something went wrong and my account wasn't activated. Eventually, I drifted to Total War Center, but came back here for reasons even I've forgotten. This forum's just that good ~;)

I confess I no longer remember how it was I first stumbled onto the Org -- probably through a link at the offical site, but I can't swear to it. All I know is that I lurked here for almost a year and a half before finally deciding to join up. (It's hard to believe now, but at that time I was extremely "forum-shy", and hadn't really participated in message boards before then.) What finally won me over was how everyone here was both intelligent and courteous in their conversations....and (as I realized later) extremely helpful as well. As a rule, Orgahs really know how to make a person feel at home. :bow:

I think it might have been thanks to EB.
I was looking through threads on Gamefaqs (what a horrid place that could be...) and found something about EB, I followed the link here, and for more than a year lurked around, never deciding myself about signing up. Finally, in January, why I don't remember, I signed up. And that was it.

I was at the com. enjoyed it (Hagiographers, Tarrak Interactives, supporting NTW).
After Hagiographers fell through, I heard discussion about the .org, and decided to take a look around. I liked it, signed up, and have come here regularly ever since.

Found the link at the .com when hunting for MTW info. Lurked, unregistered, both here and on TWC from VI onwards, I temporarily lost interest in TW when Rome came out, but very soon after I suddenly became interested in Antiquity (no idea how that happened) and picked it up again. It was still about a year before I actually registered though.

I was just googling around for MTW 2 guides then clicked into this forum. It didn't seem too special to me then so i read hte guide and left, only to stumble on teh forum again after searching for a mod. And then magically i saw the godly Gameroom in the tavern. I went in read some stuff and wanted to play so badly. I joined but it wouldn't let me post in it as I was only a nooby member. So i started posting like mad in the Forum ( not spam )
And finally got to post in the game room, and thats when i got addicted to Mafia games.

I was trying to search for RTW unit stats and came across this forum.

Several weeks later, I tried to search for BI unit stats. Failing that, I was looking for guides that hopefully had unit stats in them, and was again directed to FrogBeastEgg's excellent guide, which I recognized. I bookmarked the site and, days later, I stumbled into Scriptorium and started tumbling down the modding hole. :)

But back on topic: well playing the Almovids, I think the French gave me a very hard time. So i looked for help, found it here and find it eversince. Plus interesting history facts/discussions, mods and a lot of laughs...
