Modesty patch

[A Very Super Market]

Sigh, the internet's weakness shows up again. Sorry 'bout that.

[Visitor13]

I don't use it. I wouldn't be using it even if I had kids. Anyway, there's nothing modest about a bunch of doped up, sword wielding Gauls charging at you, loincloth or no loincloth.

[Roka]

i don't use it, i don't get offended by a penis made of flesh, so why would i get offended by a penis made of pixels?

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

What would be the use of using the modesty patch? Who could get offended by that? Do little children take their bath clothed? I would feel offended by real naked Celts, yes... but their just on your display.

[Germaan]

I used because i do not think they really where naked. It seems to me if i have to fight naked it is to much off a disadvantage. Even so ,if they did do it ,after the first time with a lot off causality's they also will never try-ed it again.
This is only my idea not historically backed up.

Thebes? Thebes doesn't exist anymore...

It does still exist, but yeah, damn Alexander for destroying it!! Probably the only reason why I don't like Alexander..

I don't think they had anymore disadvantage than any other unarmored warrior... They had even an advantage over the common unarmored warrior. Real-live warrior brave enough to charge naked would be quite an unsettling sight. It would also be an insult to you. So you would be angrier and thus less prudent and scared at the same time.

Just wearing a loin cloth would not have given much more protection either... since you seem to suggest that...

Plus, they got wasted before hand, so it's not like they felt anything.

There was that time that went on a all night bender and burned down Persepolis. People are still pissed off at him about that.

[Phalanx300]

Well you like one for what he does .

[Antinous]

He really loves his history, particularly the Romans, Macedonians and the Persians. On many occasions he has embarrassed adults, with his knowledge. One memorable occasion was his teacher telling my wife that he was talking gobbledy gook. The teacher explained he was telling him and the class about Hastati's, Principes and Triari, what on earth was he talking back? My wife luckily knew enough to tell him, what it was all about. Apparently he smiled, looked very humble and said' right'.

Presently he his playing the Goths on BI and has told me that the Romans get what they deserved, that it was Alaric would have wanted. Basically he sacks every settlement, that is how he sees it

HAHAHAH!!!! That is brilliant, here is a ! Your kid sounds cool!! I don't use the patch. I just say hey boys aim your spears low when the naked boys run at me!!

[Cute Wolf]

I only used that when I play EB in my Notebook in my home... (as my mum usually see what I play on the Comp)... When I play that on my desktop (I schooled in different city than my hometown), or in my laboratory... I don't use that....

There was a lot of more disturbing things in the internet, don't you

[Subotan]

What? They didn't get wasted on various herbs, leaves and good old fashioned booze before charging at the enemy?I find it hard that a man could have a javelin impaled in his chest, remain standing and throw it back by sheer force of will.

[Phalanx300]

Then again, they were using drugs.

[lobf]

You are both misinformed.

[Megas Methuselah]

You are both misinformed.

Be that as it may, I like it when they dangle free.

Thebes? Thebes doesn't exist anymore...

Actually, If you are refering to the greek thebes, it still does exist:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thebes,_Greece

granted, it doesn' really cme close to the greatness it once had, but its still there.

[antisocialmunky]

I think you need a modesty patch.

[Subotan]

You are both misinformed.

Please explain; as far as I am aware, they did use various plants for that effect, and you fail to provide any sources that they didn't.

Subotan: You'd be amazed what a crazed person can do despite what happens to them. Sheer ferocity could certainly allow a soldier to take a javelin in the chest and take it out then throw it back. Granted they won't live long afterward but hey, the other guy's gonna be unnerved.

[Rilder]

I don't use it, just a penis anyways.

PENIS DEAL WITH IT. (With your right hand, ba-dum-TISH)

Wait, does that mean you are popping your eyes at your own penis.

Narcissist... :P

Provide sources that something didn't happen? Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You have to provide the source if you make the assertion, which in this case is that they took drugs. I made a topic on this subject a while back, specifically asking for sources on this very subject. Guess what the consensus was.

[lobf]

Me too. What kind of person is actually offended by a penis, let alone a low-quality 3D representation of one?

I would humiliate you with my Arab half, but, since my faith* teaches me otherise, I'll just tell you what I put that on there for:

I was basically saying saying to myself: "Rilder, what are you doing?......?"

what came after was too rude to put on, and would get me banned (seeing that I recently got a warning for jabbing Bill O'reilly**). so I just put the inquisitive sign in place of that.

*the basus war was not a war worth fighting, nor do I wish to start its internet equivalent. religion helps avoid it.

**I insulted the man's intelligence, by implying that he was on drugs, while showing a vid of him actually using the F*** word. I admit, I deserved the warning.

Anyways:

regardless of the gaesatae using drugs or not, the point is, I do not see a genuine reason why anyone needs to use the loincloth stuff, besides satisfying mothers. my people have had a tradition of going round the ka'bah naked before, and besides, If there is one thing I have had to learn, is that nudity is not something that is truly shameful, nor need it be censored if it refers to people of the same gender.(in theory; different people have different tastes, but I digress). I also trust most people (Rilder aside) are sufficiently responsible people to not have any psychological isssues with naked gaesatae, regardless of tastes in RL.*

I do. :)

Slighty OT:There are Celtic deities dedicated purely to drinking and intoxication before battle. The Celts practice of trephaning points to pain numbing drugs/potion/herbs; they included surgical instruments like probes, retractors, saws, etc...all of which are quite advanced in design for sophisticated medical operations, etc...if they could do successful surgery they had to have employed drugs and other very strong pain medicines.

About the nudity patch, it up to the parent to decide for the kids what they should see and not see, but for me I'm too hardcore historical. If nudity was historical then its going in my game regardless.
