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 use to google Rome Total War forum boards. I finally found the org. After a long period of lurking, I joined.
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.
Seeking solutions to some early bugs and problems in MTW.
I came here from the EB home site. I lurked for about 2 months, then I finally joined.
After lurking on and off for a very long while, I finally decided to join in a fit of giddiness over joining yet another forum. :drunk:
I've no idea... I really thought that the journey would be the end of me though...
For a few days, a long time ago, the .net was down, so I decided to go here.:shrug:
If I recall correctly, EB was what reeled me in for the catch. I do believe I recall my first post being in the EB forums.... *sniff* So beautiful...
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:
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 ofthe spammershelpfull members here, I discovered the Tavern...
:shame:
:2thumbsup:
I don't partake in this website. At all.
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.
:balloon2:
ooh it was probably because i had some sort of trouble with RTW..i think...but i stayed for the drinks and endless parties
Welcome back Ian, haven't seen you around for quite some time.Quote:

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.
I joined after simply googling for a forum where like-minded people were discussing issues with (then) STW. I lurked for about a year of so and finally decided to become a full fledged member of this fine community.
Quid
found the link on www.gamefaqs.com, i came here to download the uniteditmachine for MTW after that i lurked for a year to come here in year 2004 the darkest year of the .org, the most crazy members joined in that year.
HELLO DUCKIE LONG TIME NOT SEEN, are you still an aggony?
It was indeed ! No worries about missing it though mate, happens to the best of us :2thumbsup:Quote:

And Ian, nice to see you, haven't seen you around here for quite a while!
Referred by a friend..
DG ik d8 dat je pas in november jarig was! sorry!!! HAPPY AFTER B-DAY
Google turned up Froggy's MTW guide, lurked for a little while after that, finally joined up when RTW came around.
Yes Stranger, Ducky is still in Aggony (last time I checked) :-)
Was searching for some RTW info and I accidentally typed .org instead of .com and I landed here
I was in the TW site.I found a link who says Strategic Modding Academy.I registede in, but there arent any guides to mod.I googled forums and i entered the totalwar.com forums.I was finding a guide, and i clicked in a link who directed me here.I joined such as Decius Curtius, but i forgot the password.The next day, I created a new account called Caius Flaminius, and I'm here!
talk on the mtw lobby and also .net (lurked for maybe ayear - then joined)
I came after the .com site went downhill fast. I got sick of threads being closed 'just in case' anyone broke the rules (ie- before any rules had been broken) :furious3: :wall:
There is only so many power-happy moderators that a man can stand. Havent really been back since...has it changed much?
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.
There was a job opening a few years back. I needed the money, I applied, I got hired.
Yeah, been a while. Anyway Ducky without Aggony just wouldn't work, so I'm not planning to leave anytime soon. How's your writing coming along btw? ~:cheers:Quote:

yea .com is ok, but they to strict. Admins/Mods here at least try to alert you or warn you before they slap you with a actual Warning.

Anyway, I just googled total war in Google :clown:
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
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) :-)
I found the .org the exact same way.Quote:

cool. Seems like Almost all of the people here came to .org for help with MTW or RTW or something, and only a few came just to cause touble (Just joking :-)) lol
Erasing the past...
Are there even any good Mods for STW still? I don't even know..
Erasing the past...
Right when the original MTW came out I just googled this forum. Been a lurker for years and only recently started posting here.
cool. I found this fourm,ethier in 2002 or 2004, as a lurker, but didn't start coming till Febrauby, got banned from Early June-Late Setember, then got un-banned :)
While looking for some answers to questions I had about MTW I walked up-hill ten miles in the snow both ways to get here.
LoL. And I low-crawled over barbed wire and broken glass...Quote:

Thousands of troops didn't itnersted me, I just like the Management of the SP:) :)
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?
I'm not sure m8, I'm not a big mod fun, Although the STW mod for MTW is very good :-) :-)
Same for me really. Only that I lurked for five days, set up an account, lurked for five months and then posted my first post. After four weeks I became a member and since then I have been a very active patron at the Org.Quote:

I then lurked for a couple of months till I found my way to the tavern :2thumbsup:
Did you ever get RTW :)??
I was thirsty; they had the beer. And now these bloody ninjas have my family hostage. What else is there to say?
I discovered the Org through te EB official site...........I lurked for about a week then joined..........
I never made it to the .org
I was born here.
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.
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 ~;)
Cool Guys. I went to TWC, Made 10-20 posts or so, but came back here not soon after :-) :)
Time to revive this thread...
From what I remember, I came here after I played M2TW demo from a PC game mag DVD. Then, I searched for infos about M2TW and stuff then somehow I ended up here...
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:
almost the same... i was here since 2003 but never knew you could sign up :PQuote:

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 just found it on Google when looking for mods. Found EB and then signed up.
Though I hardly ever post I do read a lot of topics.
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.
Mead Hall, Monastery, and recently the Backroom (sometimes to my ire)
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.

Amazing what you find :grin2:
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.
Same here, except I wasn't looking for mods, just info. That and I lurked for about 6 years. :hide:Quote:

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. :)
I came here thanks to EB's official site and lurked for some months before posting anything. The Monastery and the friendliness of the people here kept me. And now you're stuck with me.
t'was attracted to froggy's MTW guide.
I was down on my luck ... looking for work
I met this guy at my local pub, he had tattoos on his arms and kept buying me drinks
I was pretty drunk but I have this vague memory of being punched repeatedly and put into the back of a van
and I woke up here
We've tried to make Papewaio quit that particular recruitment method. Maybe you noticed the patch on his upper-arm - he's trying to taper off.Quote:
