Yes, Anna does indeed raise everyone's "moral"...

I don't know about morals, but certainly their morale.

And who said anything about Anna? Anastasios is the one I find most uplifting. Yes, I've gotten quite a boost from him, and now I'm all smiles.

dang my lack of spelling prowess...

well, if you don't have morals, she won't personally raise your morale.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Meh, my morale is raised up pretty high right now anyway.

[Privateerkev]

what, did you raise it yourself?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I told you already, I witnessed Anastasios' resurrection and it filled me with new life.

[Privateerkev]

I told you already, I witnessed Anastasios' resurrection and it filled me with new life.

Have you told him yet how you feel about him?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I think, deep down, he already knows what I feel like.

[Privateerkev]

I think, deep down, he already knows what I feel like.

Ok I give up. There is no way I can continue this without getting slapped with a whole slew of warning points.

[Askthepizzaguy]

The winner, and still champion of the innuendo!!!

crowds cheering!

Innuendo is where the finest resurrection belongs.

[Ferret]

You two just ruined Tristan's thread!




And made me laugh...

[Askthepizzaguy]

We were simply discussing the various meanings, intentional or otherwise, of Anna and Anastasios.

Those were some very greek meanings.


Do you think there will be any resurrections in the house of the Asteri?

No, the meanings of Efstratios and Anastasios were very greek meanings.

[Askthepizzaguy]

We used only the finest Greece.

[Privateerkev]

We used only the finest Greece.

can't take the pain?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh, trust me, I've fallen upon the gladius many times, and have the scars to prove it.

Draw your swords, gentlemen! I challenge you to taste my steel! I shall strike whilst the iron is hot!

[Csargo]

Philippos hides in the corner

[Privateerkev]

I challenge you to taste my steel!

I doubt you've sharpened it enough on the wheel.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Philippos hides in the corner

Don't be frightened. We're just engaging in some man to man action, an expression of our brotherly love, Phillippos. I thought of all people, you'd understand.

Philippos : « Lover of horses »

Escapes into the night...

[Privateerkev]

Unless your claiming to be a horse, he might not understand.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I have a fine black stallion which I ride daily to get to the Senate, perhaps I'm referring to him?

I doubt you've sharpened it enough on the wheel.

Perhaps I intend to bludgeon you mercilessly with my blunt broadsword.

[Ferret]

Do you think there will be any resurrections in the house of the Asteri?

Fear not! As far as I can feel every member of my House has been resurrected at some point during your serious conversation. I must say I never realised it felt so good...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well, when the members of your house spring to life, it's definitley a good feeling that you want to share with someone in a serious and intimate way.

[Ferret]

Indeed...

*approaches Efstratios and begins to rub himself against him*

How long does this ressurection take? Every time I think it is done it carries on and brings even more new life to me.

[Askthepizzaguy]

WOAH! Woah! Woah! Woah!

Hey, man, thats not cool. That's totally unacceptible, and inappropriate, and you should be ashamed.

You didn't buy me a drink first. Completely classless. If I'm not falling down drunk, it ain't happening, buddy.




I mean, what I meant to say is, I like womens. Completely into women. Yeah.

*Elite Ferret stops the rubbing*

I didn't say stop!

[Ferret]

Sorry guess the ressurection makes me behave different from normal.

Here I think I can make you a drink if this ressurection carries on a bit longer, a little more rubbing ought to do it...

[Askthepizzaguy]

And Efstratios and Hypatios walked hand in hand off to the local inn, and weren't seen again for quite some time. But mercifully, no one here had to hear about it.

[Ferret]

So....good army eh? Got a good sword to go with it

Oh right that's over now...

Anyone got any ideas on the meaning of Machonios? If I google it I either get one of my posts or the list of Byzantine names from the SS mod at TWC

[Askthepizzaguy]

you mean Monomachos?

Mono means one, and macho means manly. So I am one manly guy with one hell of a good army, if you catch what I'm throwin. Which apparently you do.


MOVING ON....


edit: as for Machonios... you got... I dunno. Something greek and manly I guess.

[_Tristan_]

Seeing as some of you wondered about their last names (with reserves...) :

Eirinikos : "Victor of peace"
Monomachos : "Strength of one"
Chrysovergos : "Goldsmith"
