Shame on you. But I guess a Romaioi fanboy will stay a Romaioi fanboy.

Of course. Why do you think I joined? Lol, I even VM-ed some other people I was infiltrating your group, and not merely joining.

No style at all, and random on top of that as well...

Lol wut? First off, I too voted for my own exile. I was an infiltrator and I got what I wanted. why would a Romani-fanboy and a anti-spammer the likes of me join the group?? Secondly, I stated over and over that I did not care if you blokes exiled me, and even encouraged it. I dare you to quote all my posts there

Hah, your nose must have broken the monitor by now! How do you move up the ladder? Spam forums with anti-Romaioi posts? What does a newbie do to be initiated? Spam again. What did you guys tell me to do when you grew suspicious of me? Tell me to spam in order to prove my loyalty. I can literally go there, and point out the sentences where so many memebrs said "you need to post anti-Romaioi barbaroi spam.

When the group began, it seemed more of "we hate the Romans but love the Hellenes". All posts were about Hellenes kicking Roman arse. But then it changed...

Aimilios, what do you want to prove?

Your of irish decent aren't you? methinks the romans didn't do squat to your ancestors then.

What ACIN said. Spam should have class, and this lacks, oh so, much of it. Any idiot can just type "Death to Romans". Most of them wouldn't even call them "Romaioi", or come up with a proper name for themselves. Maion, I can respect for his efforts, but many of the underlings do nothing of value. I nearly exclusively play as the Hellenes, and I'm finding it annoying.

Why nothing of course. It is simply my characteristic to leave no argument against me un-rebuked

EDIT: Heh, and now we can make fun of the Romaioktonoi for mispronouncing "Rhomaioi" and "Rhomaioktonoi"

I cannot believe you are so naive. You would think me telling the group that I vote against myself would FINALLY make the group understand why a Philoromaioi would join. But I guess the members of the Romaioktonoi are not that smart. Even some do write splendid poetry

**Apraxiteles** · 08-02-2009, 04:12

A long time ago, on some tiny peninsulas right next to each other…

Hellenistic Wars
Episode I: The Barbarian Menace
Episode II: The Forum War
Episode III: Revenge of the Philoromaioi
Episode IV: A New Koinon
Episode V: The SPQR Strikes Back
Episode VI: Return of the Romaioktonoi

The complete collection, in all it's silly, glorious melodrama, coming soon soon to a forum thread near you!

All the partisan politics aside, I believe you should agree that the Romans were much more honest and straightforward people, or at least on a battlefield generally (politics are always dirty), than the less honourable Greeks.

Nothing bad here, just differences. The Greek culture placed more emphasis on cunning and intellect and less on honour. Hell, look at the Greek national epics - Odysseus the trickster with his Trojan horse, and him orally "swindling" Ajax the Greater from his armour, which he should have gotten.

EDIT: So yeah, if you call yourself true Hellene, then respect me for my cunning

EDIT2: and be ashamed for believing, even for a moment, that I truly joined your group.

And actually, I would have stayed in the group if it were not the spamming affiliation. My respect for the Greeks is no smaller than that for the Romans, if not greater. Anyone can conquer, but few can create such a vibrant, intellectual and productive culture as that of the Greeks, with people such as Homer, Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Zeno of Citium, Epicurus, Herodotus, etc, etc.

Glory Glory Romaioktonoi!
Glory Glory Romaioktonoi!

From the forests of old,
Ancient Germanoi.
From the hills of Europa,
Noble Keltoi.

Descending from the moutains,
Rightous wrath.
True to their nature,
Barbaropolis they sack.

Illustrious coasts,
Savant Iberioi.
Lord of the seas,
Brave Karchedoi.

Long and hard they trek,
Avenging justice.
Honest to their fathers,
Burn Barbaropolis.

Fatherland of glory,
Vergina sun shines bright.
Sons of Alexandros,
All Hail Makeonia.

Truth and hope in fatherland.
Death to every foe!
Hellenes shall not put to rest,
Smite Barbaropolis.

Northern hills of Thrace,
Martial Getae.
Enternal plains from beyond,
Iron hooves of Sauromatae.

Defiant, no surrender.
Loyal to their blood.
Barbaroi deserve no mercy,
Enslave Barbaropolis.

Old Satrap of Black Sea,
Clever Pontikoi.
Mountans of Iberia,
Adventurous Hai.

Strenth in their souls,
Enduring freedom.
Never shall they retreat,
Dominate Barbaropolis.

Hinterlands near Serika,
Ardent Sakae.
Eastern lands of Scythia,
Conquering Aracids.

Apollo's arrows from above,
Divine Judgement.
The great charge of Glory,
Slaughter Barbaropolis!

Glory Glory Romaioktonoi!
Glory Glory Romaioktonoi!

Well, AP... honestly, I think that one factor that you lack is Honesty and Openness. As u maybe had another tricks below your sleeve to take down your supposed to be "friends" when they least tought of betrayal. Well, actually Romaioktonoi was the very group that each member respects and had a good faith in each other, so, your case is extreme betrayal. It was noteworthy that Hellenes only use cunning for someone that we allready declares "Enemy" not "friend".

**Aemilius Paulus** · 08-02-2009, 04:48

Sorry to say, but that is simply senseless mumbo-jumbo. Only a poet of significant skill can write a lengthy poem on such a frivolous and rather abstract (in poetry sense, which is sometimes reverse of common sense) subject.

Try to stick with you briefer prose and go for quality. Literature is never about quantity, unlike war among other things.

True. That is not a Russian trait either, as Russians are quite closed on the personal level, and somewhat liberal on "sticking to the rules" on a higher level. But hey - "It is very painful for me to be forced to speak the truth. It is the first time in my life that I have ever been reduced to such a painful position, and I am really quite inexperienced in doing anything of the kind".

Honestly, given what I have seen the group do to the forums, "honesty" and "openness" was the last thing on my mind. If it even made that far. How about trying some decency, prudence, and polite, constructive behaviour on these forums?? Perhaps then I will re-evaluate my own actions, apologise, and reconcile.

Go read your history. Nothing was permanently or even somewhat concretely "friend" or "enemy" in the political jungle of the hundreds of city states of Southern Greece, Peloponnese, Ionia, Megale Hellas, Pontos Euxeinos, etc. Especially the Southern Balkans and Western Asia Minor. Treachery abounded.

, well, actually i ask my friend who apparently also their group, and say they are the Roman haters. Now I want to ask... Why they hate the Romans?

EDIT: He says that he hate the Roman republic for destroying some other cultures and backstabbing their treaties, and they are the most overpowered faction in most games.

They're spammers who took over in the power vacuum the EB Tavern'ers left behind.

I think of it more like a childish fad. Anyone remember POG?

**MarcusAureliusAntoninus** · 08-02-2009, 06:13

As long as the Roman-haters stay on topic, they are allowed to have their own opinions. If they spam, it will be treated as spam and deleted. If they continue to spam threads that are not related to their topic, greater action than deletion of posts may have to be taken. Since this thread has been answered and has derailed into spam, I'll close it.
