    Default The Caligula Quote ingame

    Attributed possibly to Caligula. I did some googling in fact, and ''Oderint dum metuant'' was reputedly used much by Caligula, but it probably originates with Lucius Accius though, a poet living probably 170 BC. to probably 86 BC.
    'For months Augustus let hair and beard grow and occasionally banged his head against the walls whilst shouting; "Quinctillius Varus, give me my legions back"' -Sueton, Augustus.

    "Deliver us oh God, from the fury of the Norsemen", French prayer, 9th century.

    Before any flames fly, if you want the team to listen to you, its best to quote an actual source (preferably print) that makes the claim. Also, rather than make blunt assertions its better to phrase in a "I have a source or sources that state Y rather than X so should X be considered an error?", followed by some quotes from said sources. Respectfulness is the key as the team has invested a lot into making this game.
    Especially making claims like "Wiki said this" or "Google said that" are generally not good unless you can provide a link to a reputable source from it.
    I can tell you aren't trying to be mean are anything; just figured you should know the best way to approach them, especially considering past claims others have made in a much more assertive and combative manner.
