When u mix up between galician and galatian(guilty)
Wow I remember this thread, you really braved yourself deep in the crypts of this forum to bring it back among the living.
Well I say something on topic now I'm here:
When you know you have to do a lot of homework but keep checking this forum. (guilty)
~Fluvius
That makes two of us.
EDIT: You know you play too much EB when you revive a thread that was dead for the last 2 years.(Guilty)
When you have transformed into such a Celto-phile that your body is tattood with Celtic patterns and your hair is only a few centimetres from your nipples (guilty)
... When your girlfriend is studying for an exam on Hellenistic history, asks you about Alexandreia-Eschate, and you tell her you just conquered it... (guilty)
:laugh4: nice one
Excellent.Quote:

EPIC...Quote:

haha mine thinks it's fascinating to listen to, and says the guys are funny looking when they run around.
And you know you play EB too much when you get annoyed if you think your professor says the wrong name for cities.
guilty of that :clown:Quote:

You know you play too much EB when you think the Romans were only successful because everyone else was playing on VH/VH and they were on E/E.
...when you begin to explain your professor, that the Hellenistic kingdoms are cheaters, because they can form phalanx boxes.
Or if you believe that Pyrrhos and Caesar were killed by CTD's.:laugh4:Quote:

Also, you pronounce names of ancient states or cities correctly, such as Epeiros, Makedon, or Qarthadast (although I am not so far gone that I refer to Greece as Hellas or Rome as Roma).
Also, when you watch Lord of the Rings, you find yourself mentally replacing the types of soldiers with ancient counterparts (if applicable).
Also, you don't have a girlfriend because whenever you are around females you are too busy with discussions about Central Asian nomadic warfare to talk about ponies or fairies or lesbian fantasies or whatever it is that girls talk about.
When you see a small hill on the way to a camping expedition, and think how would you arrange the troops so that they would fend off the attackers
When you look for a potentially better spot in order to have more tactical advantage
When you remember the hill on your way back
When you imagine you're a: hoplitai, principes, leves (or akontistai), accensi, etc...
When you imagine that your tent's bag is an hasta (or doru) and a bag full of sheets is your scutum (or aspis)
When you say perfectly all the roman/greek/celtic/punic things the unit say
When you say perfectly all the names of the soldiers you use in your campaign
When you say all this when doing the same actions they mean
When you imagine formations in order to fight imaginary battles
When you imagine you are in a movie about EB
When you hate that modern warfere use gunpowder instead of old-fasioned ruthless spears and swords and unforgiving tactics
When you imagine that in your country (where there was no european until 1503 IIRC) there were battles between the roman republican army and the celtic armies
When you take the time to remember all this and write it instead of playing EB
All guilty as charged your honor
MISTHOPHOROI TOXOTAI KRETIKIOI?
Is there any reason why the defendant made this... actions
LOCHOS VADEL!
Apparently he hasn't played EB for 2 days your honor, and there's no time to play it today
TAXEIS EXCITE!
Good lord, i want him to play EB ASAP for at least 3 hours
EXPUGNATE!
Yes your honor
~Jirisys (can't play EB today, darnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
You spent too much time playing EB campaigns instead of working in your own half-way modding project (guilty)
I am guilty of this too.... I got a 1500+ word research paper due tomarrow and only got about 150 words in started and im still checking this forum.....Quote:

You know you play too much EB when you make the EB map your desktop background and start thinking on potential expansions or new ares to conquer while listening to some EB music, when you should be making your homework (quilty).
and start feeling annoyed if you put an EB screenshot of Hyspaspitai as your desktop background and your College pals start asking "what romans are these?" (almost guilty)
As long as you don't kill that guy for insulting Hellenic pride..... :grin:Quote:
