Has anyone been to totalwar.com recently

I put this Xbox sig in right after I played the RTW Demo and it appears to have been prophetic, since Sega is taking over the helm and they are producing the Total Warrior game.

Yes, it appears to have been a glimpse 'through the veil' all right.

Calling modeators of an internet forums fascists is just... wrong. Fascism (sided by communism) is a single most evil creation of the human mind in its recorded history. Humans following these evil ideologies killed millions of other human beings without any justifiable reason and changed the history and the spirits of whole nations in a way that these nations will never be the same.

Whatever one does on an internet forum just cannot be compared to that. It is wrong even if the word "fascist" is used as a parabola because some words just must not be abused. In fact I consider using this word in such a stupid context an insult for all those who suffered because of and who fought against this evil.

So please refrain from using the word "fascism" or "nazism", this turns the discussion away from the topic at the very best.

Spencer "Rome Total War: Invasion of the Huns Great graphics, compelling single-player campaign, and enough obvious bugs included to keep you interested in the game for months on end! As a bonus, we have even included some special Easter Eggs: Not so obvious bugs, in which you will have to spend an extreme amount of time in finding and then spend even more time trying to get us to fix! Something for everyone!"

This is a marvel...

Do note the second definition. It is in the dictionary for a reason.

This thread is no longer going anywhere positive. Constructive discussion and criticism of the TW series is fostered and encouraged here at .org. Personal vendetta's, which much of this smacks of, are not, and will not be tolerated. Discussions of the semantics of 'fascist' and 'nazi' are fine in their place, but that place is the backroom.
