@ Tacitus:

Yes, we do have H20 Plus branches in Singapore, why?

I am hooked on Cabal. How fearsome. Hooked to the extent I haven't touched EB1.1, too. How fearsome. o.O Mainly because I can play Cabal in the background while working, but I can't do that for EB. O.o Lorica segmentata forever!

I shall blaspheme by stating this URL: http://www.cabalonline.com

Woot!

Oh, why don't we trade email addresses? Hax, Horst and I have each other on MSN now, let's add all the other Tavern regulars, shall we?

My top 3 military commanders of Ancinent times:Alexander and Hannibal(not necessarily in that order) and Epaminondas - gotta love how he kicked some Spartan arse at Leuctra using innovative tactics(diagonal phalanx) in a time when conservative phalanx warfare was the name of the game in the Peloponnesus

My buddy is the bean counter for them. Everyone once in a while, the Asian stores crank out some crazy numbers, then dissappear. It's slightly strange.

Cabal? Not familiar with it. Are you allowed to bring that up in here ... well, on second thought, it is the only thread where you can. So I guess it is ok. Let me check with the rest of the EBF Council of 10 to make sure you can divide your allegiances ... *smirk*

@Tacitus

By crazy do you mean 'how could a girl have so much facial surface area to buy so much make-up!' kind of crazy?

My top 3 commanders of ancient times: Alex Megas, Xenophon, Hannibal.

Alex for embodying the spirit of the offensive.
Xenophon for a defence that prevented certain destruction, and for versatility and ability to work and improvise with given resources.
Hannibal for fighting spirit against the odds, for strategic and grand-tactical brilliance, and for making the best of his situation and resources.

Yes, many people forget about Anabasis. It must have been an example of logistics I presume. And leading that army across hostile land, trying to evade an army much more flexible and faster... it must count for something. How I'd like to see a decent movie based on that! BTW Pez, do you know where can I find any sources for Anabasis?

[Strategos Alexandros]

You can get it from amazon.co.uk or .com.

[Emperor Burakuku]

You can get it from amazon.co.uk or .com.

No, I don't mean Anabasis itself (which I can find translated here), I mean some other books that speak about the expedition of the 10000. Thanks anyway! :beam:

[HFox]

Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95 year-old grandmother and comfort her.

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."

Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.

"Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."

She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, "He'd still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn't come along."

[Disciple of Tacitus]

d@&^ ice cream trucks!

Off to Brasil. Will try to check in on the Tavern. Please don't burn the place down while I'm gone - I've grown rather fond of it.
Pez, I'll have a caipirinha in your honor. Anyone else?

[Hooahguy]

sorry, pez isnt here eight now, so ill be your server. a caipirinha coming right up!
meanwhile, im going away for 8-9 days to NY/NJ for passover. wish me luck....

Heyo all! Sorry, while all this was going on I was taking my customary 7 daily hours of sleep, something normal humans do, I believe. Wow, Brazil...

@Burakuku

I can't help you too much with Anabasis, because I can't even find a copy of Anabasis in Borders Singapore or Books Kinokuniya (the two largest bookshops and most decent history book sellers in Singapore). But what I can tell you is that in my copy of Theodore Ayrault Dodge's 'Alexander' there is pretty much a 'Highlights of the Anabasis' section, in which he talks about the evolution of warfare and the lessons learnt by the Greeks that were subsumed into the Makedonian theory of war. It's got maps, analysis from military standpoint, and rather strong detail because he makes the case that the Anabasis was what woke Greece up to the weakness of the Persian Empire and the fact that it was possible to conquer it, and which also taught the Greeks and Makedonians quite a few things about war.

You guys should really get Ayrault Dodge's work. His 'Alexander' includes:

The rise of Persia, with maps, detailing Cyrus the Great's campaign and battles against Croesus, and his fights with the Massagetai.
Cunaxa, and the most important engagements of the Anabasis, their conduct, and lessons taught and learnt.
Agesilaus' campaign in Asia Minor.
Philip's campaigns in Greece.
Alexander's Balkan and Persian campaigns.

And his 'Hannibal' covers:

The Pyrrhic War
The Gaulish War culminating in Telamon
The First Punic War
The Carthaginian mercenary revolt after the First Punic and its defeat
Hannibal's Campaigns in Hispania
The Hannibalic War
The Magnesia campaign
The Pydna campaign

Ya. These are really the best buys you could make for the amount of detail, scholarship and broadness of coverage provided. Just...don't believe everything he says about the make-up of the Greek and Roman armies. He wrote this book long before they discovered Lorica Segmentata.

...Okay seriously, the pictures of the soldiers are WAY OFF. But the descriptions are good. So don't look at the pictures. Kinda like making love with the lights off, but ah well.

[pezhetairoi]

You found a goldmine, sir!

I love it when the library at the university has a book sale. They usually last three days and on the third day it's like 3 dollars per BAG of books. Since most everyone doesn't know a good historical source if one fell on their head, the third day is usually a bountiful harvest of collections of primary sources and academic history.

[Ibrahim]

@pezhetairoi: wow! if only this boorish place(aka Lake Jackson) can sell all these...
@hooahguy: OK, no more discussion on the AAR
@bartender: I want COKE!!!

[Emperor Burakuku]

All those great books with 40 bucks?? :cry: Here I could never find such an offer. Damn this country with expensive books and cheap women!

[pezhetairoi]

Hee, those books were condemned reference books from the school library. Slightly yellowed pages, battered hardcovers. But still very eminently serviceable, oh yes. Am enjoying reading Gibbon now.

[Hooahguy]

well, i dropped my laptop on a wooden floor last night, and i dropped it on its corner on the hard drive side. when i turned it back on, it gave me an error screen. i called Dell tech support, and they said my hard drive is dead (the shock waves from the impact completly messed tit up, but everything else is fine), but they are sending me a new one, which will arrive thursday-friday. im going to need to reinstall EB, as well as my other games.
wish me luck re-installed the millions of programs i had on it....

[Emperor Burakuku]

Romania. Actually, on a second thought... they're quite expensive. Is just my superior skills that... Yes it is! It must be. :girlslap:

[pezhetairoi]

Lol at you. Hooahguy, if you droppped and killed your computer, how are you managing to come to the Tavern?

Burakuku: did you know that among Singapore children at least, 'kuku' is slang for a guy's, um, y'know? Must be some sort of hidden subliminal message about your superior skills, you Padishah gaesatae. Bi-lal kaifa.

[Hax]

Why would there be slang for men's roosters?

One's rooster is a very natural thing, we needn't be ashamed.

[Dhampir]

I was walking to a class I audit and snapped this picture as I was walking. It's fuzzy, but view it as you would the only recording of William McKinley's voice--a unique cultural artifact. A look into the world of the past.

This is what you get when you are three years late in choosing a cause to protest for.

If you can't see the poster clearly, it says "I am not a terrorist". They are trapped in a timewarp back to 2005.

Whatever your views on the treatment of suspected terrorists, this is a little late. Like those guys who walk around with mullets and think it's cool now that it's 20 years after they were cool.

@Time: BTW there are actually scientist that try to validate this theory: the inexistance of time. All there is, it's just phisical motion (plantear). Cells age by themselves... time doesn't do anything to us, we just die and death it's our "property" it's not inflicted by time. I'm not joking... There's calendars, invented for our lives to be easier... well... I'm tired of this discution. I say i's one of the biggest jokes in our history. Is just that we count it... I don't mean it doesn't exist, it's nonphisical, that's all... ok, enough.

[Ibrahim]

you know I'm playing with you, don't you?

anyways, Hax, people consider the "bits" to be a rude phrase; I used "bits here to cover up what people don't want to hear(phrases are for various parts, or whole thing):
e.g: english slangs: bits, plums, c.jewels.etc...
arabic(palestinian): dhib (super rude), baidten etc etc etc...

society has condemned open direct discussion of the privates to be obcene, so there you have it.

[Emperor Burakuku]

@Ibrahim: No way man, I thought you were serious! :laugh4: Come on...

"Bits", "bits", "bits"... I mean there is free language, and there's deliberate insulting... Hax has a point... If we are to have a different perspective there's free speech and there's hypocrisy... but 3rd time... there's free speech and there's rude speech... It depends on the interlocutor I guess. I militate for free speech as long as it doesn't insult anyone.

BTW... TIME doesn't exist!

[Hax]

"Bits", "bits", "bits"... I mean there is free language, and there's deliberate insulting... Hax has a point...

Are you sure that's safe to think?

[pezhetairoi]

Starting with one point, he will soon have two, and then he'll start waving them around and all the conversations in the world will end! Ph33r Hax. o.O

Society is slowly overturning this open discussion thing in some countries at least. We have a play in Singapore that's quite famous, it's titled 'The Vagina Monologues', examining feminism and women's roles. Quite interesting. Pity when they produced it, I was too young to watch.

[Horst Nordfink]

I have never seen it, but I would imagine it to be a (possibly lesbian) woman whinging about how all men are bastards for hours on end.

[pezhetairoi]

Hmm, apparently not just that. It's on all aspects of womanhood, from first menstruation to love to rape to lesbianism, apparently. This from the Wikipedia article on it for quick info.

Farm work this weekend. The fences around the summer paddock need to be replaced. Luckily, horses are none too bright so they don't have to be super-duper overnight, we can take two weekends to do the work.

The chinese are idiots. They think they should rule the world yet their own government blocking their citizen's eyes/internets and treat them like cheap manpower, which they accepte. Also they can think of nothing original and only creat cheap imitation of products.

and lastly the Japanese are the smartest.
Even if you say that, they choose to alienate themselfs from their own visual art, considering anyone who take an interest in it as a pervert. On the other hand, manga is quite acceptable and popular there so ya.
On every other aspect, they're just weird, but partialy in a good way.

[Metalstrm]

I think he's saying that maltese is a language with arabic, italian, and english words mixed into it.

Cmacq is maltese?

Anyway, it's a true statement. Maltese is basically a language with a semitic grammatical basis, with several romance loanwords, especially Italian, Sicilian and English, and is written in the Latin alphabet. So it's quite a unique hotpotch.

Goes quite a long way in explaining our history actually too.

Despite being a cheating cheater, I hadn't thought about that.:embarassed:

[russia almighty]

It's not really cheating; the EB team dropped the ball with the Sweboz bodyguard and Thanes in 1.0. Then again, it was a minor thing. I think stats come after everything else is put together.

I personally think their current stats make them underpowered; so, I fix that. It's not like it's over powered. The combined stats for defense skill, armor, and shield for the noble infantry adds up to like 23, maybe 24.

The history channel must be stopped NOW!

[Emperor Burakuku]

And how do you intend to stop them?

[Ibrahim]

the best way is by 10-50 poeple suing it all at once, each for 4000000$

[Admetos]

Bah! Does it matter? cmacq is right. They MUST be stopped.

[Emperor Burakuku]

Ok, count me in! I need some money anyways.

[cmacq]

just watched another bs disaster whatever...

...and they don't seem to be able to check a single fact?

It was one huge hump of bs after another.

I don't know how, but they must be stopped.

Right, I remember a few years ago, they did this jfk thing about how johnson did it. They were flooded with e-mails demanding a retraction and apology because they hadn't check any of the facts, which were clearly wrong, as stated in the program? They did it; the retraction and apology, because of their sponsors.

Right, thats where they live...

....where the money is; with their bloody sponsors!!!

[Ibrahim]

then sue the sponsers!!:laugh4: :laugh4:

[cmacq]

I'm wicked pissed and mad as hell, too!

Suing 's for candies and cupcakes....

...they need to think their going to burn!

Or worse yet, lose a market share outright.

[Ibrahim]

well you can't do that-that's illegal (causing a deliberate crash in stocks)

[Emperor Burakuku]

BTW what did they do? I know they did it many times now, but what did they do this time?

[Ibrahim]

tragically, my cable isn't working (such a dog-D'ed TV service-we paid them on time, and now look.)

[Emperor Burakuku]

Why is that a tragedy? I don't watch TV anymore. It's a waste of time. I have books, I have music, and of course, I have EB. There are also friends, girls, school and sports. There are a lot of decent activities to fill up your time. OK... I watch football 3-4 times a week, I forgot about this. There is also a cultural broadcast I like to watch from time to time... but that's pretty much al. Oh and Civilizations from time to time... but that's so rare now. I must be realy bored if I do that.

Last Days on Earth:

Could the human race become suddenly extinct? We count down seven ways in which the world as we know it could meet an abrupt and untimely end, from a mammoth asteroid strike to the eruption of a super volcano. What would happen as computers literally become trillions of times smarter than we are--would they program our mass murder? Scientists, experts, and witnesses describe these and other vividly pictured disaster scenarios, from super bugs created in secret labs to black holes that could suck earth into oblivion. Using state-of-the-art computer-generated graphics and interviews with the world's top scientists, we will leave viewers pondering humanity's place in the universe and will reveal the most terrifying truth of all--that our greatest enemy is ourselves.

In the process they spew one bs propagandist lie after another, presented as hard fact, literally saying that anyone that doesn’t agree with them is a holocaust denier, and it was about potential disasters not genocide. All this just to sell some bloody light bulbs to those too dim to know better.

What the hell is going on over there? Have they become some silly propaganda tool?

the tragedy is that I couldn't answer your question...I spend more time here actually. Or study Cal II, and wishing that I had won over Alyssa Aikman...

[Ibrahim]

well...good night..:shame:

[Emperor Burakuku]

@Ibrahim: Good night man. I shall go to school... bleah. Modern history again. I get tired of it!

@cmacq: Who cares about that stuff? Propaganda is everywhere since WW2 and even before. And I still don't give a ****. But I don't get it exactly. Why are you so bloody furious?

[Horst Nordfink]

Bah! Does it matter? cmacq is right. They MUST be stopped.

Welcome back Admetos!! You been on the wagon?

[Admetos]

Thank you my fellow barman. Just been a bit busy lately really.

@Emperor Burakuku - I know how you feel about modern history... :skull:

[Gebeleisis]

i dont like modern history either:no:

[Emperor Burakuku]

Noone likes modern history! People will start to like it 2000 or 3000 years from now, when it will be ancient.

[Ibrahim]

no one like modern history because it makes no sense...
