Casse/Catuvellauni?

So far, it's just Riadach's word against Ranika's. Whom should we believe more?

As for working together, demanding things from the team is not the way to go.

There exists reason to believe the guy was a complete fraud.

Erm - excuse me, but what particular reason does anyone have to take your word on it at face value ?

Don't take lobf's word, don't take my word. Examine the facts. For instance, let's look at the archives - way back when this forum was on another forum:

Since I joined Europa Barbarorum, I have gotten access to the skills of Raighnigha. Ranika is a simpler way to spell his name I suppose. He lives in the Aran islands outside Ireland, and grew up on an island called Dungalloigh. He didn't have TV, cinema etc. There was a monestary there from old times. So aside from the usual activities of kids, playing physical games, he also read a lot inside the monestary. He learned a Celtic language before learning English. He is right now working for the catholic church, translating old documents from the monestary that nobody has gotten around to yet.

"Raighnigha"... the name does not exist. Go search. Of all the millions of people whose names are on the web, there is no other "Raighnigha" anywhere. Moreover, the name can't be Irish anyway; its spelling is wrong. In Irish orthography there's a rule called caol le caol agus leathan le leathan which divides vowels into broad (a, o, u) and slender (e and i) and which forces consonants or clusters to only have one group on either side - so you could have *Raighniagha or *Raighnighea but not Raighnigha. Only someone who doesn't speak Irish would miss this. Someone who, for instance, would cut and paste their Irish sig from the Guiness website, complete with spelling mistake...
The island he was supposed to grow up does not exist:

There are three Aran Islands, Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inishere (in Irish Inis Mór, Inis Meáin, Inis Oírr) plus two little atolls called the Brannocks. There is no "Dungalloigh" on these islands or anywhere else. The monastery on the Aran Islands he's supposed to have hung around in as a boy has been in ruins since the early 15th Century.

I'm sorry to be a bearer of such bad tidings, but this has been a big confidence trick! Now we have to move on and start to fix things.

Lol this make me laugh a lot !

"Now we have to move on and start fix things" In what aspect did you ever contribute except some useless and aggressive criticism ?

That's really funny, Elmetiacos - this is very nearly identical to a PM sent to me by a person who has been active in these specific threads. It's almost enough to think there has been some kind of behind-the-scenes collaboration on all of this.

By the way, congratulations on hitting a post count of 27 - you seem to have had a very strong, coordinated opinion on all of these things since you appeared three weeks ago.

Now we have to move on and start to fix things.

Here you seem to have come to a conclusion on behalf of the EB team. I find this very interesting.
