Gah
the womens revolt has begun and men are joining http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/rolleyes.gif
Women revolt? In case you didn't know, we already run the world (or perhaps ruin the world as some men always say).
In our clan, our men lead us to battle.
Behind every great man, there is a great woman.

Wow LadyAn is Canadian
Yeah its always nice to see females who play MTW. My girlfriend is one of the many who absolutely hate it because I'm always playing.
She comes into my room looking like this http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif
Sees me playing and turns into this http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/angry.gif
After she finds out the game has just started http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/pissed.gif
I talk to her, but don't look at the new shoes she just bought http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif
After the game http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/argue.gif
I get tired of arguing http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/rolleyes.gif
She gets mad and leaves http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif

Aylwin/Jimi: that's only the girlfriend. Do you think you will be able to play when you get married? Ask my brother-in-law (in case you wonder, he is the one who gave me the game because ... you guess it right ... making peace with my sis).
And Gah Krast Gah As if you didn't know
Annie
After 15 years of marriage and 2 kids, my wife would prefer me to play this game when i get home at night rather than do my "husbandly duties" (and I don't mean take out the trash!http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif As a matter of fact, I threaten her with me performing my "husbandly duties" when I want to get my way. Works everytime http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
LadyAn,
Welcome to our little community. We've (veterans) gone through 3 such communities (STW, MI, MTW) and are looking forward to seeing your clan lead the way into the new game. We've already spoken briefly you and I and as it stands, you can always look to us for support.
BTW, notice where I'm from.? not much distance between you and I http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
Salut http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
For a while I thought there is only Mr. Krasturak as the closest neighbor. But looks like Sir Elrich of the Round Table Knights is only a bridge away.
Annie
That's right Lady An, and there's also Sir Goedfrey who's on the other side of you near Quebec.... looks like the RTK have you surrounded.... lol.
I guess I am safe on the island.
"destroy the bridges"
"Go up Mt. Royal"
*bracing for an attack from the RTK, which is coming this Saturday*
Annie
doh. hhmmm.... aha.
Call in the Apache copters..
RTK's are attacking on Saturday? Hmm...people need to tell me these things. If I'm going to be attacking someone I should at least know about it, otherwise that would be some trick. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif
LOL Aelwyn, Saturday 29th is RTK vs. FF games for CWC (2 games, the other 2 are to be played at later time).
Annie
ps: We are as disorganized as you are http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
*smacks Aelwyn upside helmet*
Read our CWB forum...
Gah
Krast was looking for the link to Freedom Fighters website ... but Krast not find it
Gnish Gnash Gni
Were is the link???
FFighters
Gah
Jimi beats me to it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif)
You are welcome to drop a line at
ffighters.com -> bboard -> Medieval forum (scroll down... way down http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif )
And Mr.Krasturak is always welcome. Except that he has to leave the axe outside of our Swedish Field Kitchen.
Annie
Is KRast blind, or is link missing from .Org front page?
I am blind too http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Nope krast is not blind... It is not there, simply cos it never got put there. With reasons, just scroll a bit up in this thread to see the url.
No Krast, we are still in stealth mode http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif) Just words of mouth for now...
Annie
Gah Aelwyn Gah
OH Congrats Freedom Fighters on your clan http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif
Uh, Cei, what did we do? We have not won anything so far? Putting up a good challenge doesn't count... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif Nice try but no cigar...
Annie
I think what Cei meant An, was in reference to the topic of this thread which is the introduction of the FF Clan. He was simply congratulating all of you on that.
I know, Elrich, was just baiting http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
Perhaps a few coins will fly my way ...
Annie
*tosses An a handful of Florins*
Just to let you know that it is an insult to me Elrich, in case you didn't get it yet...
Annie
Women....
*goes and picks up coins*
*writes check instead*
lol, no, didn't know that An, but message received loud and clear. I'll toss my extra Florins at Goedfrey instead from now on.
Check? still the wrong answer. Give us your credit card, that's the better answer. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif
OK, enough being a bad girl for the day, blame it on the weather...
Annie
We finally convinced Louis Ste-Coulombe de la Ferte to shorten his name, and he chose[FF]Simurgh.
Weeeeee http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
Annie
It is still way too long to type in the heat of battle... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/tongue.gif
"Oh Look, Simuewhatthedamntypoisagainarghhh... too late he is routing again"
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
It feels good to be with all the nice,fun and honorable FF people
Louis, The Simurgh
PS; it is like the duckling... changed from Colombe (=dove in French) to goose to a kind of big goose, or the king of goose http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Congratulations Freedom Fighters on your newest member, Simurgh. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
Glad to see you find a 'home' Louis http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
We all know its because of the Ladies though, no point in denying it. You don't kid the kidder http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/rolleyes.gif
So mr.Simurgh, be seeing you online http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/cool.gif
I remember seeing some FFs in Soldier of Fortune 2 MP.
I do not see any SOF2 section on the webn-site though. Could anyone confirm if FF does play SOF2 ?
Thanks. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
That game is not an official independant division of FF, nor is it being set up on the moment AFAIK...
That does not mean some of us dont play it... Could be simply just FF'rs who got already a callsign on that server from other games and arent bothered to make new ones... Or perhaps it is indeed being scouted out if its suitable to expand to.... maybe they are just a different clan...
Would have helped lots of you had asked them what their FF stood for.... or if you posted their names http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
Thank you Tempiic.
I do not remember their names, but when asked what FF stands for, they disclosed ---> "Freedom Fighters".
They played well, and were very friendly.
I'll possibly run into them again.
Will let you know if I have any further details.
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
i have seen FF on sof2 aswell http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif Sinan what name you use on sof2?
Same name as always mate, Sinan. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Simurgh... reminds me of Firdausi's tales... back in the days...
Er..anyway. Nothing of relevance. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
As an Oriental, I am always very impressed by Westerners who know more than just their own culture.
The Shahnameh of Firdausi, is a revered classic for the Orient. Firdausi, Omar Khayyam, Sa'di were some of my favorites in college. I love their work, it's an aspiration of what we wish to be, of what we hope we are.
"Though Death may take me in his cruel clutch
My verse will give men joy -
It is a monument Time cannot touch
Nor wind nor rain destroy."
--Firdausi--
Well, actually, it is of some relevance.
Many FF in MTW choose callsign related to mythical animals (Tempiic, Manticore, Gryphon, Phoenix, Unicorn...).
As I like to play Oriental factions, I thought about oriental tales as a source of inspiration...
Unfortunately I have not read Firdausi yet (it's on my list)... But the Simurgh made it to western culture throught Flaubert and Borges and that made the connection for me... See link in my sig...
Louis, the Simurgh
Edit; from FF fighters (doh) to FF in MTW...
I read that page in your sig, first time I saw it.
Here is a simple, Persian definition:
Symurgh, Semurgh: the fabulous griffin in Attar's Bird-Parliament symbolizing the Spirit of God; in Firdausi's Shahnama the foster-father and teacher of Zál.
From a website (you may know already). It's one of my favorites on Rumi:
Khamush
Urghhhhhh http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
No not really, my name has nothing to do with mythical animals (though the name on itself may have some mythical values, depending on the game you are playing http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif)
Hmmm the only one outside of FF MTW who has a mythical based name would be Cerniic... where cern stands for Cernunnos (or whatever it is spelled)... Hmmm there's the Myth callsign as well. And I think Fetty is close becoming the mythical animal on our forums http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif But besides these, few mythical animal names are used
Sinan,
The page on the sig is part of a literary bestiary project inspired by Borges (Borjes). It is not dedicated to a specific culture... I just put it as an introduction, and I was looking for a page with an illustration.. The site you put is much more complete and informative... Thanks for posting it.
The part I like about the Simurgh is the 30 birds looking for the Simurgh and changing into the Simurgh in the process.
Oh god we need a literary forum somewhere.
Louis the Simurgh,
Oh sinan... the next time you see them again, please say heya to them from tempy http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif It may or may not ring a bell, depending how long they are part of us http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
Louis, http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif yeah I like that as well. I interpret slightly more abstract. More as, they were trying to find themselves, and did as they became the Semurgh.
Yes, we do need a literary forum, there is a yahoo group on Sufi Islam, Rumi, Firdausi. You can find it by browsing the groups on yahoo, or through Khamush.com ....btw khamush IIRC means silence in Persian.
Tempiic I will give them a shout out from you if, and when, I'm a fraggin away, with them again. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Ok this is probably veeeeeeeery late, my fashionable late entrance was too late.
Good luck with your clan, I wish you all the best and hope to spill blood with you if my feet hit the MP scene again
i even saw a FF server on sof2 yesterday http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
There's a clan called Myth I think, and ofcourse there's Glorfindel http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif.
Elmo is Mythical material too http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif.

INDUCTION
It is my honor to introduce to you a new member:

[FF]ladyAn
Best wishes to the departees.
Still remember Almi's priceless contribution to the MTW community.
Thank you !
Good Luck Freedom Fighters and congratulations on your most noble new recruit !
~:cheers:
A long overdue update. Our website has been changed into ffighters.co.uk (rather than .com) some time ago. With the sole exception of Jack Russel, and the recent casual gaming of Annie and me now and then, our TW wing is quite inactive ever since the pre-expansion RTW patch.
Well it has been nice to have you around lately though.~:)
