w00t! This deserves a free round of beer.

*takes the ice-cold brewski and downs it*
Mmmmm, good and frosty. Thanks Kampfkrebs! :)
'and the women are salty'? o.O
Aye....we've some salty barwenches 'ere at the EB Tavern, waiting to serve you!!
EDIT: That is...waiting to serve you drinks, not the elusive and ever-vaulted vagina. This is not the EB whorehouse. :P
so...IS there an EB whorehouse? o.O Does it give a 35% bonus on happiness?
*Contemplates creating a EB Whorehouse mini mod*
Hmmmm, I think it would be something like this....
+185% Happiness for 3 hours
-17 to your general's hitpoints because he got the clap and gonohrea, I mean, things are starting to fall off the man.
Automatically gains the "pissed-off chick" ancillary which increases the chances of alcoholism to 95%.
Hows that for a building description?:P
*wipes the bar clean, a few people are in the bar enjoying the atmosphere....suddenly the bartender pulls out a loud speaker and begins to speak*
Excuse me, bar patrons....I have tried to put the Baktria banner in my sig twice and it always says it's too large....is there any way to resize it and keep the text that I have. What in the hell am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time!
On a side note, I didn't want to start a new thread about this, and hoped someone would see it and help me figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong. :)
Where's traits and ancillarys when you need eh?Quote:

Hello everyone, I'm Xin Ni from Singapore, 18 this year come November 15, and I'm still in school. Taking my 'A' levels this year, and was introduced to EB sometime last year by way of pezhetairoi.. I didn't actually know enough history to do more than dislike it mildly as a compulsory subject, but I'm getting to like it in this form. Hobby-wise, I enjoy reading and gaming mainly, with some writing on the side..
That's about it, I suppose. o_O And the last time I drank alcohol, it was beer with Sprite, so.. *orders a nice cold glass of milk* Yum.
Some unwatered Cretan wine please
*throws manii on the bar*
While we're on the subject of drinking and EB traits, has anyone noticed that the Makedonian family members in EB recieve and lose drinking traits nearly every single turn? It has to be a bug.:smash:
Why is it weird?Quote:

Incidentally, bootsiuv, by Baktria banner, did you mean the HUGE one the Eb team members ostentatiously wave about ;-) or the size of my Romani one?
I dunno, I know it was a fan banner....

Yes it is... Actually, it's almost creepy, but hey if the whipping makes you work, then yay, a double bonus for you besides the fact that EB does not *ehum* ...Discriminate :eyebrows:Quote:

Horst is a name for tight-growing gras.
Heck, Horst is even the name of a (crappy) german comic <.<
And of course one of the common german names (well, not today anymore. Today people call their kids "Justin" oder "Kevin"...or "Janine", which is always funny, cause the local dialect which is spoken here simply rapes foreign ways of speeking. So it´s like Jah-nin-eehh. lmao.)

Mostly the so-called nice place is:Quote:
...always after so called Hollywood stars or what the people imagine to be from a nice place: Enrico, Marvin, Chantal, Jaqueline...
1. The balearic isle Mallorca (called "Malle". This island just exist to get drunk. And listen to people like Micky Krause, lol)
2. Ibiza (generally the same as Malle, just cheaper (e.g. more "Plattenbaupeople")
3. Dominican Republic (sp?) (called "DOM-REP", even more cheaper than Ibiza and Malle, plus a hotspot for old fat sex-tourists)
4. Thailand (For Plattenbaupeople who think they are rich, cause they travel "far" away. But in the end its even more worse than all 3 together, cause of the kiddy-porn and stuff)
5. Any generic place in South France/Italy/Spain/Portugal/Turkey/whatever-the-fuck-is-in-the-south. (These places aren´t that bad, but if you dont watch you´ll get some nasty surprises, like some fcking sort of parasites which live in your rectum or so :/)
So you see as a german it isnt that easy to travel "to the right places". I´ll stick with the german coast and/or russia (there where the scythians lived :yes: )
oh yeah I nearly forgot:

If the Germans want to go freeze in the Baltic, then that's fine, all the more room for the rest of us in the warmer climes.

Ah, but this is the problem with American multi-culturalism, McDonalds, cheap Hyundai cars, plastics and other synthetics, and terrible pop-culture music.
There be just not enough Johansen Wurtenfreists, Bruce Cunninghams, Earnest Livingshires, Louis DuFontes, Leonardo Papricis and other stereotypes in the world.
While they might be used by others for purposes of insulting, it is the greatest and most important closure, the feeling of a loyal and respected nation, unique throughout the world, that I cannot ever feel here in the run-down servant continent of Australia.
I envy it above all things, I wish it was not still in decline, but all cultures are retreating, and Australia's was destroyed after the second-half of the previous century, before it even began.
It is also now reclusive in Europe, where culture is still at least apparent, but it is a most dreadful thing that the frankfurt must become a hotdog, Gepernetti's Pizzas must be made pre-cooked by fast-food chains, and we should lose pride in our own music and arts in favour of what is conveyed to us by propagandist international media....
Someone get me a coke.
New to the EB forum, figured I'd post in here.
My real name is Patrick, I'm in the United States Army. I work as a crewman in an MLRS (multiple launch rocket system). I've been deployed to Iraq once already and spent aprox 13 months there (and as a result became the first kid on the block with a confirmed kill!), there are rumors we may go again for 15 months. I live in Oklahoma, where I am stationed, with my wife and our new puppy.
Yo, tell me more! *sidles over with fifth glass of curacao and creme de menthe* What exactly was it that you killed? o.o MLRSes be cool, but you take care of yourself now, there. Arche Seleukeia ain't what it used to be anymore...
"and as a result became the first kid on the block with a confirmed kill!"
Now there's a reason to be proud...
Bartender, get me a vanilla coke, a rope and two loyal gorillas who won't ask questions. And I would prefer it if you didn't ask any questions either... I don't have to show why I have my name here again, do I? You all saw what I did to Thaatu, and that was before car bombs were being sold here.
Geht zeit!
Might I welcome you, though a recent member myself, to this forum Stumpff of America, but might I also suggest that you keep your tellings of the Iraqi war to a minimum.
This is not a silence a soldier of a war from his opinion, nor to become offensive, but because I think that you have not come here as a soldier, but as a civilian, and that there are many people divided over the war you have served in. I for one am, at times openly, negatively inclined to both America and their wars.
But I don't wish to see fighting in such a handsome place as the tavern.
I simply felt a pang of anger, and also saw Maior's reply.
At the very least, I would suggest you do not mention killing in such a glorified, competitive light again..

It's an open bar here at the EB tavern....Bootsiuv enjoys the company, and so he has stocked the bar of his own accord.
Hi to ya all! I'm sorry to be so late in responding but I had to run in full gear for 20 km yesterday... Oh, the army fun! I have my laptop hiding in my car in the camp's parking lot, so eveytime I use it it's kind of an adventure. Plus, I'm gonna get my ass seriously wooped if I ever get caught. But still... Bootsiuv, army service is still mandatory, even though for 12 months only. Once you're over 18 you'll get drafted, unless you're studying, in which case they'll wait patiently for you to get a degree. Than, you're in! The fun fact is that I'll get posted in the Army's special forces as a doctor in 30 days, and have to follow their training course. Why? Just damn luck. The first thing you learn in the greek army is that common sense no longer applies... OK, now I have to stop ranting, thank you all for your patience!
Which time? :hmg:Quote:

A neighbor of me asked me if I could help her out with a problem with the computer normally she would ask her son but he was out of the country so I said ok and went inside her house ... no no no sex in this story
But she had a problem with MSN she couldn't get connected and she wanted to talk to ...because... and ... blablabla
so I said ok try to log in and I will see what you're doing wrong so she did that while she was doing that she told me that there was probably something wrong with her password look she said normally I only have to click here and then I can chat but the password field is empty so I fill it in and then it said wrong password I tried everything she said 1* 5* 10* but I'm 100% sure there were 8******** all the time:oops: :wall: :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed:
A little explanation then for some people:She inserted only ******* the things you see when you type your password instead of real letters and numbers:laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:
She is around 50 years old so not very handy with computers
I thought it was funny and share the story
Ok everybody have a drink from me:beam: :beam: :beam: :beam: :beam:

You just should realize that there are people from all countries and cultures, and many people don't agree with American involvement in Iraq. Hell, even most americans don't agree with the war (and never did, really, Bush just used our patriotic emotion to finish a personal family grudge).
Now, have a round on me, and let us speak of the politics of 272 BCE, not those of today, which I enjoy forgetting when I come here.
~:cheers:
Definitely not alcoholics . A car bomb is combo a light colored lager with a clear hard liquor . A dirty car bomb is instead a dark lager .
Gee, I don't approve of Bush's Iraq debacle either, but it's hardly stumpff's fault, is it? You're thrown in there and told to follow orders. So we do. I feel for him, being in the Singapore army myself (and forced to be here, gah). Don't let some of the patrons get you down, stumpff, they're just drunk and they're like that when they are. *takes you to a seat* Here, a round of whatever you want, on me!
But really, killing and all that aside, I'm just curious about what you hit. Fair enough, it's kill or be killed in ol' Babylonia, so I am not going to fall into the no-win trap the others have fallen into of making value judgements.
But if this topic is making everyone else uncomfortable except those who are currently in armies (Greek, American, Singaporean, wow this is like some low-level defence summit!), then perhaps it would be wiser to switch to more inconsequential topics like what would be the best song to play next on that antiquated jukebox in the corner... *shifts over and starts selecting songs*
Oh my goodness, they make car bombs out of alcohol now?! XD XD
I agree partially....he's a soldier who did his duty.
That being said, he really shouldn't be coming in here talking of confirmed kills. I could have told him that was going to create a lot of harsh feelings from the get-go. It's not like this is an american only forum....even if it was, he would still get chewed out because so many of us are against that war.
You really have no idea how much I hate Bush. I can't even stand to look at him on the tv screen anymore.
But, anyways, who wants a shot?

Don't worry Stumpff.
Who are we to judge? Everyone does things which others may view as distasteful, to say the least.
Now pull up a stool and have a brewski with us, and let us talk of things other than war (which is kind of weird for a total war site, I know).
maybe this could be the start of a new thing, almost impossible to accomplish, full of bugs, and always having to be patched, and which will take another eternity to achieve... the next Total Conversion mod, Europa Barbarorum: Total Peace! Now THAT would be a challenge. Now, you have to PREVENT war from happening, even if you have got the coolest unit roster with really flashy skins and are BURNING to use them for what they were meant to be used for. Yeah, that could be cool. Then we could change the 'see city on battle map' option to 'drill army', so the only time you'd see your army in battle mode would be on the parade ground...
Man, I rock. Sometimes I amaze even myself.

Grand! Then let this be the end of our discussion on silly-billy yankee wars.
Let us not confide with them, but rejoice in whatever foolishness the American people publicly wash themselves within whilst they hippity-hop around on the sacred pride of other nations.
May their happy-go-lucky 'freedom' fighters have their military adventures cut short, before they go too far with this terroism joke.
Here's to them!
Once something as controversial as true war snuck in, I didn't think it would leave this discussion!
Bootsiuv, have you got the jukebox working yet?
Perhaps we can fight about music tastes instead!
Oh, and a suggestion that everyone in this community can share details, why don't we have a thread, or even here, post a few photos of ourselves and family, pets and all etceteras?
I have managed to find an 'avatar' that matches me perfectly- a 'spitting' image!
But I thought it would be an interesting thing if people were willing!

In my limited free time I enjoy fishing, reading (mostly fiction and historical fiction), watching movies/tv, and gaming. Must admit that I don't get much time for the latter. I'm a huge Buckeye football fan. GO BUCKS!!
I have a large interest in all things Roman....especially mid-to-late Republican and early Imperial. I also have an interest in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, medieval Europe (with a focus on England from the fall of the Roman control onward), and World War 2.
That's enough for now. Got to get back to work before the bosses get back from their errands and notice me missing. Will be back in for a Guinness for two later after work.
Farewell for now.

You would all be much happier watching/playing football (or as you know it: soccer. But it must never be called that because it is a stupid name) instead.
It is good to see a US team in the Rugby World Cup though. You are finally drifting towards proper sports.
Now, let me put some Frank Zappa on the jukebox, and we'll all be happy!
Well, the NFL did start this past weekend and I couldn't be happier. Although it will be taking me away from EB and homework a bit. This is a glorious sport that involves much more strategy than some people might think, well at least a bit of play recognition before the snap. A proper sport in my eyes. No matter the case, the NFL is back in season and it's time for drinking and barbequing on Sunday! I'm stoked!
By the way, anyone see what happeded to the Bills player? The life-threatening spinal injury. Well, if you heard about it and haven't been following it, i read on Foxnews.com that doctors think he may recover. First diagnosis was paralysis and potential death, and now they are reporting that he is moving voluntarily in his hospital bed. That was the last I heard and it is great news. No one wants to see an athlete go out like that.
