Interesting things in Hierosolyma

That is your opinion.
Personally I think this place should be above the spamming and flame wars you find elsewhere just as EB is above other games/mods, and goading the Romanoiktoi will not achieve that, especially as they are actually behaving themselves these days.

Yes, exactly my point.... I was not goading any Romaioktonoi or however they are called. Never even said something about Rome being so great or whatever. It had nothing to do with Romaioktonoi - stuff.

But I believe (from empirical deduction and general experience) that they will react to the goading no matter whether you intend it as goading or not. And as the thread was turning ugly, I was obviously right. What you see as "fun" may be percieved as an offense by the reciever.

Which reciever, it was turned to the starter of this thread ... no Romaioktonoi

Further, reporting a thread does not mean it automatically gets closed or deleted. It means that a moderator will keep an eye on it, nothing more and as I have been specifically asked to do so because of my uncanny ability to notice the bifurcation points where threads turn ugly, I do so.

What you think of that and the way the moderators keep the forums clean is your choice.

Indeed

But, unless you have not read anything at all in these forums the past year, you know that 75% of the Romanoiktoi are also Philhellenes and especially Phil-Macedonians, so when writing something bad on Macedonia- even in jest. They usually react.

And you think that the reciever is the only one reading the thread?

Nothing more to say on the matter. I would suggest we got back talking about the Phil-Macedonian in Jerusalem.

Come on, they are no pansies, are they?

Yaya, let's talk about the phil-makedonian. Let him go to Makedonia and then back to Jerusalem. The trait will not disappear, but you can RP it.

Actually, I happen to be a very loyal Romaioktonoi. The fact that I dont react to "faction" bashing anymore is because it is not allowed in the forums. That is to say, we have our own little forum the do enough of that in. Your right, we are better behaved now, and I think we might even continue to improve. And no, Swissbarbar, we are not Pansies.

Back to topic though, The Phil-makedonian will not be going anywhere. The war with Ptolmy has turned for the worse and they are not sending Large stacks of men at me, atleast once a year. Looks, like his dream wont be coming true.

Jeez, history shows that the romans beat the greeks. And the germans beat the romans. And the islamic people beat the west (which was pretty much decended from germanic poeples) in the crusades and now the jews are beating the islamic people. Does that mean the jews are the most powerful people in the world?

Really, who cares? So what if the jews are the most powerful faction in the world? Why do people decide to form some group that is anti roman...? Its ALL tall poppy syndrome. People just hate whoever came out on top. If bill gates was just another nerd then he would get sympathy. Instead he is the master of the most annoying yet convinient operating systems in the world. And I will definately not post when I am drunk again because even now I don't know what point I am trying to make. But lets all try and pretend that it was a point well made and hope that ludens doesn't get shitty with me being almost totally off topic.

Simple. Jews will be beat by _______. And just RP dude. Sheesh.

I thought I had replied to this thread yesterday, but apparently I forgot. SwissBarbar, if you are upset that your posts were deleted, you can yell at me. I deleted several posts, not because they were bad in themselves, but because I thought the thread would derail into pro/contra Macedonia arguing. Maybe it would not have, but I judged it better to delete a few posts that did not address the OP's point rather than risk it. I am sorry that it upset you.

Several people here feel very strongly about the Romaioktonoi, but most Romaioktonoi keep the Rome bashing to their own group. It's not like it was back in the summer. If you still feel someone is spamming or trying to derail threads, use the report button.
