What age would you choose to live?

The who tells us YOU wouldn't ruin everything? :DDDDD

Well, actually, who are you? I mean, they probably "can't explain", but if Methusaleh won't get fooled again, the kids should be alright.

I admit to not understanding this joke. Can you elaborate?

Alright, I'll explain step by step

Man, the stuff the youngsters of today listen to. They don't even know The Who anymore.

seriously the best comment I've ever read in here! for you:

(and I'm 20 years of age and I've seen the Who live, so restore your faith in the modern youth)

Plutoboyz, as for the 14th century. Can you spell P-L-A-G-U-E ?

As for me, if I could be a Macedonian general, the period c. 325-260 BC would just be fantastic: I mean, everybody-versus-everybody. For example I love the fates of fx Pyrrhus or Demetrios Poliocertes (no idea bout the spelling), who lost and won kingdoms SEVERAL times. Actually the Cambridge Ancient History itself remarks; "everything was possible in the fantastic world of Hellenistic politics". I know it must have been a cruel time, but I just love a big mess. The Period of Migrations in Europe, with the Goths and Huns and Vandals would be another one of those periods. Where everything's confusion and there are no set rules and adventure everywhere.
But obviously those periods would only be cool if you were a commander + a very talented commander (being a lousy commander is prolly more fun in peace time). So if I can't choose what to be, I'd rather try the 1960's and 70's. Sounds like they were fun :)

I'd be happy with most periods/regions pre-1600, as long as I was nobility of some sort. Regardless of which awesome civilization you live in, shit sucks if you're a slave washing clothes with pee.

I do have noble blood! Though I already said that I'd live in the Neolitic period, in CANADA. No nobility there, as long as I proove myself as a man and hunter! Going back to the roots of my people. Yeah, speaking of wich, makes me nostalgic when i think about that!

I would be a charismatic military genius in England in 1066, so that I could stop William and save Anglaland from being Romanized by those philoromaioi Franco-Normans....

This would be another. The Isles with, primarily, a Celtic-Saxon blend I think would be a great 'what if' scenario. Someone should write a book about that. Harold put up a great fight against both Viking and then Norman, and fought with his men like a true king in the Saxon shieldwall.

Lack of nobility...? Are you sure, man? Maybe not nobility in the European sense, but hereditary positions in many Amerindian societies in present-day Canada were common during the early colonial period and likely the pre-colonial period, as well. My own ancestors were hereditary chiefs since the earliest periods of recorded history in the Great Plains, and certainly long before the European colonization of my homeland.

Completly true. I was speaking solely in term of nobility understood in European fashion. in our people's fashion, we shopuld speak more of a hereditory social position than of a title of nobility, in my opinion. of corse I speak knowing my knowledge about past or our people isn't as deep as yours :S
